Chapter 2828: Celebration |
The crowd in Stormy Immortal City breathed a sigh of relief as the heavenly tribulation dissipated.
They didn’t know that this terrifying and seemingly world-ending Tribulation of Deity Transformation was, in Chen Mobai’s eyes, merely unruly energy used to upgrade his Magic Artifact.
A burst of cheers began to echo throughout the Immortal City.
Not only were E Yun and the others celebrating, but every cultivator who witnessed Qing Nu’s divinity transformation also expressed joy at this moment.
Their happiness was sincere, even prideful.
Thinking they were cultivators under the powerful Five Elements Sect made them stand a little taller.
Especially those who bought homes and settled down—stronger sect power meant more valuable property. Qing Nu’s Divinity Transformation could foresee another significant rise in property prices within the Five Elements Sect’s territory.
Indeed, the security was higher now.
However, a minority among them, the renters, were not as pleased. As property prices rise, so will rents. Thinking of this, these cultivators couldn’t help but curse inwardly. But in a celebratory atmosphere like this, they had to follow the crowd and act pleased.
Amidst cheers, Qing Nu descended from the skies, followed by a familiar figure who flew out of the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion—Chen Mobai.
The two converged mid-air, exchanged smiles, and stood together.
"Congratulations, my lady!"
"I must thank you for this treasure garment," Qing Nu said with a smile of gratitude, as she handed over the Pure Yang Immortal Robe, upgraded to Sixth Rank, to Chen Mobai.
"You could have easily endured the tribulation without it."
Chen Mobai accepted the Pure Yang Immortal Robe with a smile, draping it over himself, feeling the distinctly different aura after upgrading, along with the rich fire element power surrounding it.
In a sense, the Pure Yang Immortal Robe now resembled a Fire Path Dao Fruit.
If a Five Elements Sect disciple harmonized with this robe and was chosen by its Artifact Spirit, their progress in fire attribute cultivation techniques could skyrocket.
"Without you, I might not have even reached Nascent Soul Formation."
Qing Nu recognized her limitations well. Had she not followed Chen Mobai to the Tianhe Realm, she might still be waiting endlessly for the Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine, potentially having to tap into Heavenly Spiritual Root base or even Fetal Transformation Essence.
Not to mention treasures like the Sea Suppressing Bead of Sixth Rank.
"Let’s not speak such formalities between us as husband and wife..."
Chen Mobai waved his hand, and Qing Nu nodded gently, putting away the Sea Suppressing Bead in her palm.
This artifact had self-destructed under the control of an old Flood Dragon. Although suppressed by the Primordial Clock, the spiritual nature was lost, so after years of sacramental refinement, Qing Nu had been cultivating a new one.
However, the Sea Suppressing Bead was originally a Sixth Rank Peak artifact, and her cultivation level as a Nascent Soul, even with "The Union of Differences," could achieve limited results, only utilizing a fraction of its power.
Later, at Chen Mobai’s suggestion, Qing Nu absorbed the bead’s power using her Lifespan Artifact, the Sea-settling Pearl, which laid a solid foundation for her Second Primeval Spirit.
With time, it’s possible her Lifespan Artifact could absorb all remaining power from the Sea Suppressing Bead.
"After becoming divine, I gained a deeper understanding of the Sea Suppressing Bead. The power of the Great Dao contained within is quite profound. Just one Sea-settling Pearl might not be enough to absorb it all..."
Upon hearing Qing Nu’s words, Chen Mobai nodded slightly.
Back then, if the Mother of Water hadn’t claimed the Great Dao, this bead would have been the Ancestor Black Dragon’s Treasure of Dao, with the potential of Seven Rank.
The Sea-settling Pearl was made from Taiyuan Blue Pearl containing innately water element essence qi, but it definitely couldn’t compare to the Sea Suppressing Bead.
"If one isn’t enough, then get several; they formed within the Sea Eye, and there must be more in the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court’s treasury. Now that you’ve achieved divinity, you can use ’The Union of Differences’ to refine the bead more profoundly, perhaps opening the royal court’s Large Formation with it..."
Chen Mobai shared his thoughts—if quality isn’t enough, increase the quantity.
If made into a set of thirty-six Sea-settling Pearls, they’d surely absorb all the bead’s power.
After all, this bead was the Ancestor Black Dragon’s inner core. Despite its spiritual nature self-destructing, hidden power might remain—devouring it entirely would be best for Qing Nu and the Five Elements Sect.
Besides, soon the world will change dramatically; cultivators from the Upper Realm practicing Cultivating Void might descend, and the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court might send a Sixth Rank dragon down, making it better to handle this beforehand.
"Hm, I will close up for further union soon."
Qing Nu nodded in agreement.
Her understanding of ’The Union of Differences,’ though not as profound as Chen Mobai’s, is remarkable, especially now with her divinity transformation, surely allowing deeper insights into the Sea Suppressing Bead’s mysteries.
Meanwhile, in Stormy Immortal City, E Yun and others, seeing the immortal couple mid-air, tidied themselves up and, under Zhou Shengqing’s lead, flew over.
"Congratulations Danxia True Monarch on your divinity transformation!"
Upon approaching, they first congratulated Qing Nu with excitement on their faces.
"No need for such formalities; the sect is thriving right now. I’m merely taking the lead. Among you, there will be those who Ascend to become Immortals in the future."
