I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 3040: Chapter 1429: Yi Yuan’s Identity

After the Hunyuan Bell reached Chen Mobai’s hands, it had already completely reinvented itself, having refined numerous precious Five Elements Spiritual Materials and even the remains of the Ancestor Black Dragon. Its appearance had almost none of the characteristics it had when Yi Yuan True Monarch first refined it.

So, when Yi Yuan True Monarch looked at it, he simply couldn’t recognize it. He only wondered why the sound of this bell was so similar to his previous one.

[Old master, it’s me!]

Upon noticing Yi Yuan True Monarch’s confusion, the Hunyuan Bell immediately revealed its former aura, and its bell body transformed from white jade back into its original gray stone texture.

"Oh?"

Yi Yuan True Monarch’s eyes were wide with surprise.

Because at that time, during the tribulation, he had thrown down the Hunyuan Bell, which was severely damaged and barely managed to maintain its Sixth Rank Grade.

According to Yi Yuan True Monarch’s expectations, after being nourished on Mount Wudi’s Spirit Vein for several thousand years, the Hunyuan Bell might at most recover to Sixth Rank Middle Grade, with some luck, possibly break through to Sixth Rank Superior Grade.

But now, the Hunyuan Bell had already reached Sixth Rank Peak, and the four Dao patterns interwoven on its body faintly indicated signs of breaking through to the Seventh Rank.

As one of the most outstanding artifact refiners in the Tianhe Realm for thousands of years, Yi Yuan True Monarch was completely puzzled as to what incredible opportunity the Hunyuan Bell could have encountered in the Tianhe Realm to transform into its current state.

[Old master, I miss you so much. That person over there is my new master and also your indirectly transmitted descendant...]

After the Hunyuan Bell clarified its identity, it flew to the front of the Hunyuan Chicken and began pouring out its longing for Yi Yuan True Monarch over the millennia.

Yet, the Hunyuan Bell did not forget its current identity; it pointed to Chen Mobai, standing beside the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Ancestor, to introduce him.

[My descendant?]

Yi Yuan True Monarch’s puzzled gaze went over, and Chen Mobai smiled and nodded.

[The new master is the junior brother of the Taixu True King. By a stroke of luck, he acquired the secret realm you left behind over in the Eastern Wilderness...]

The Hunyuan Bell, having traveled from north to south with Chen Mobai, knew his origins best, and Chen Mobai had also taken it when entering Taixu Heaven.

[So it was him, I’ve outdone myself!]

After listening to the Hunyuan Bell’s introduction, Yi Yuan True Monarch said this.

Back when he was in the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm, he encountered the Extreme Yin Jade Shatter master and disciple, who inexplicably came to trouble him. From their mouths, he learned that in the Tianhe Realm, there was such a person named Chen Mobai who had inherited his Dao lineage.

At that time, to conceal his Dao practice, Yi Yuan True Monarch did not strike decisively, merely repelling them.

Later, when he went to the Forbidden Land, Yi Yuan deliberately leaked information to lure the Extreme Yin Patriarch to gather friends for an ambush, but instead, he inadvertently slew them all.

At the time, he thought that this Chen Mobai kid would cause him trouble, and if he met him, he’d certainly teach him a lesson.

But now realizing his identity, Yi Yuan True Monarch recalled from the memories of a Heavenly Sovereign a reverence for the Mother of Water, and as such, treated Chen Mobai as a junior uncle.

Certainly, he dared not consider Chen Mobai as his own descendant.

Yi Yuan True Monarch had already stepped into the Harmonization realm and could not stop. At what might be the last moment of his life, seeing the familiar Hunyuan Bell, he vaguely glimpsed some branches of fate.

[Since you can meet the junior uncle, it shows you’re blessed, and now standing before me prior to my Harmonization, it seems to be Heaven’s will!]

Leaving behind these words, a brilliant light of the Great Tao erupted from Yi Yuan True Monarch’s pupils, penetrated the barrier of the Hunyuan Chicken, and merged into the Hunyuan Bell.

After completing this task, Yi Yuan True Monarch completely dissipated, his essence, spirit, and energy all merging into the Primordial Great Dao.

It was as though neither he nor Tianhe Realm, nor the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm, had ever existed.

Both Chen Mobai and the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Ancestor showed expressions of expectation, gazing at the sphere of the Hunyuan Chicken.

The doors of the Netherworld Mansion in the sky above had now fully opened, awaiting the result of Yi Yuan True Monarch’s and Heavenly Sovereign’s Harmonization.

Should it succeed, the Nether Dragon and others would have to find a way to purify and cleanse any traces of the Life and Death Great Dao related to the Netherworld on their bodies, to avoid the Three Realms’ return to source, whereby Heavenly Sovereign might casually manipulate them using the Dao.

"Senior, do you think it can succeed?"

Chen Mobai’s face showed concern; deep inside, he harbored only gratitude for Yi Yuan True Monarch. The Five Elements Sect rose and strengthened quickly, inheriting the lineage he left was a major factor.

Thus, he hoped for Yi Yuan’s success.

"Although Harmonization here in the Tianhe Realm is simpler than in the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm, the difficulty is only reduced from a thousand deaths one life to nine deaths one life, and the Primordial Great Dao here, after all, is incomplete. Should Heavenly Sovereign genuinely wish to oppose it with the Life and Death Great Dao, I believe there might be flaws in the Pure Yang Realm, leading to failure!"

The Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Ancestor shared his opinion.

He was a disciple who had listened to the teachings of the Mother of Water and received the inheritance of one of the Five Great Daoist Books, "Tai Chi Two Forms Scripture" when he completed his studies.

He himself was of the Seventh Rank and knew the difficulty of Harmonization best.

Even if Yi Yuan True Monarch was the body of a Heavenly Sovereign, achieving Harmonization Innate Primordial was exceedingly difficult.

Even the Mother of Water’s direct eldest disciple faced failure leading to Dao Transformation during Harmonization Innate Tai Yi.

The Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Ancestor managed to evolve from Harmonization Two Forms to his current Sublimation Innate Tai Chi, and his pursuit and attainment were already among the top five among the disciples of the Mother of Water.

He believed that the harmonization of Yi Yuan with the Primordial was extremely difficult to achieve.

The harmonization of life and death by the Heavenly Sovereign, however, held a glimmer of hope, after all, it was appointed by the Mother of Water.

"Sigh..."

After hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

At this moment, the Primordial Bell also flew back, and the Artifact Spirit somewhat apologetically explained to Chen Mobai that it got carried away just now.

To this, Chen Mobai expressed understanding because it showed that the Primordial Bell was sentimental and righteous, making it a good treasure.

If it hadn’t followed Yi Yuan True Monarch in ascension instead of crossing the "Heart Demon Tribulation", it might now be an ideal opportunity to become a Treasure of Dao.

Seeing Chen Mobai being so gentle, the Primordial Bell’s Artifact Spirit was also very moved, promising to remain Chen Mobai’s magic artifact regardless of Yi Yuan True Monarch’s return.

"If you have a better opportunity, you should strive to reach greater heights..."

However, Chen Mobai felt that the Primordial Bell needn’t be so, as it wasn’t his Lifespan Artifact. The only one that could ascend with him to become a Treasure of Dao was the Legal Treasure from the Primordial Yang Set.

Moreover, after refining the Turtle Treasure, the importance of the Primordial Bell to Chen Mobai diminished. He could even accept returning it to Yi Yuan True Monarch.

Whether human or artifact, one must always look towards higher aspirations.

Chen Mobai then inquired about Yi Yuan True Monarch’s situation.

After all, the Primordial Bell clearly had self-awareness, so was it the Heavenly Sovereign?

The Artifact Spirit of the Primordial Bell confirmed the identity of its old master, explaining, "The old master was indeed the Heavenly Sovereign, who awakened in the Secret Realm, later roaming the Tianhe Realm as Yi Yuan True Monarch, refining the Primordial Great Dao..."

As a magic artifact personally refined by Yi Yuan True Monarch, the Primordial Bell surprisingly knew about its master’s identity.

But for this artifact, the one who refined it was its master, not one concerned with titles.

"No wonder, back when you said Yi Yuan True Monarch’s identity was unusual."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai suddenly nodded in realization.

When he first obtained the Primordial Bell, he even inquired about the content on the seventh rank Primordial Golden Dou from the Yi Yuan Dao Scripture.

After all, Yi Yuan True Monarch was publicly known as merely a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

But the Primordial Bell, with pride, asserted that the old master’s identity was special, urging Chen Mobai not to doubt the truth.

The Artifact Spirit continued, "However, reincarnating with Yi Yuan’s identity patched the defect in the Dao Heart, daring him to step into Harmonization. Therefore, in this regard, the Heavenly Sovereign is also Yi Yuan."

Chen Mobai did not agree with this.

Beep, beep, beep!

At this moment, Chen Mobai’s Heavenly Communication Device suddenly rang.

As he picked it up, he found it was Qing Nu calling and immediately answered the call.

"Husband, terrible news, Xuan has been kidnapped..." Qing Nu began with bad news, informing him of what Xuanze conveyed.

"How could this happen?" Chen Mobai was both shocked and furious, "Xuan has no enmity with the Nine Sons of the Ghost Mother, why would the Netherworld Umbrella specifically go to the Mysterious Sea to capture her?"

Qing Nu explained, "According to Xuanze, the Netherworld Umbrella calls Xuan ’mother’. It captured Xuan to immerse her in the Yellow Springs..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately recalled the incident where Luo Yixuan, when realizing the dao with her Immortal Water Spirit Root, found her consciousness inexplicably entering the World of Darkness.

At that time, it was thought to be due to an uncertain stroke of fate in realizing the dao, combined with the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power within Luo Yixuan.

Now, it seems there might be deeper underlying factors.

The Netherworld Umbrella, being the eighth of the Nine Ghost Mother’s Sons, calling Luo Yixuan ’mother’, could Xuan be the reincarnation of the Ghost Mother’s remnant spirit? Or perhaps is there a treasure entrusted with the Ghost Mother’s remnant spirit on Xuan?

Chen Mobai contemplated the two most likely scenarios.

After all, in ancient times, there was a Ghost Mother’s Tribulation in East Continent due to a demon path’s junior cultivator who obtained a magic artifact with the Ghost Mother’s remnant spirit enshrined.

But soon, Chen Mobai realized, "Since the Netherworld Umbrella could ignore the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, it must be a seventh-ranking existence in the World of Darkness. With such cultivation, if it confronted Luo Yixuan directly, if it were the latter scenario, the result would be him taking away the legal treasure, leaving Luo Yixuan dead."

Regardless, the most important thing now is to rescue Luo Yixuan.

"I’ll handle this, my dear. Please send another Soul Incarnation to check the Mysterious Sea."

After finishing his conversation with Qing Nu, Chen Mobai, setting aside his Heavenly Communication Device, turned his gaze to the Netherworld Mansion Gates looming above the sky.

"Young friend, where are you heading?"

The Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Ancestor, still persisting, not fully integrating into the Great Tao, saw Chen Mobai flying upwards and couldn’t help but inquire.

"To demand an explanation from the Nether Dragon!"
