Chapter 2893: Sea-settling Pearls |
In the depths of the Mysterious Sea, the skeleton of the Ancestor Black Dragon lies, its jet black scales reflecting the dim sea light. The surrounding sea water instantly freezes into ice crystals upon contact, only to quickly dissolve under the multicolored radiance.
This is where the medicine field closest to the Sea Eye is located, with rows of undersea cave mansions standing in the open space for Chen Mobai and others to live and cultivate.
The opulent Dragon Palace had been destroyed by war, its grand palatial complex leaving scattered remnants due to the Five Elements Sect cultivators, led by Chen Mobai, who took the valuable building materials. At the time, he hadn’t expected to reside here for a while, making it difficult to reprimand his disciples for behaving like locusts.
He could only use the guise of integrating the Five Elements Sect’s territory into the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation as a reason to dismantle the original Mysterious Flood Dragon King’s Court entirely.
And the person responsible for this task was naturally Zhuo Ming.
After retrieving the Ancestor Black Dragon’s skeleton, Chen Mobai personally brought Zhuo Ming over, not just for the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, but also because the Sixth Rank Medicine Kings in the Sea Eye Spiritual Field were uncooperative, prompting him to summon her to negotiate.
Once these trivial matters were arranged, Chen Mobai and Qing Nu went into seclusion together.
Qing Nu was comprehending her Fetal Transformation Essence.
Through Chen Mobai and the Spiritual Venerable’s attempts, it was confirmed that this Fetal Transformation Essence had no obvious link to the Ancestor Black Dragon’s skeleton. It was theorized that dredging it up might have triggered the original power from the Sea Eye’s depths, thus causing the resonance with the Fetal Transformation Essence.
Meanwhile, Chen Mobai used "The Union of Differences" to assist the Primordial Clock in refining the Ancestor Black Dragon’s skeleton.
The Primordial Clock hovered beside him, its colorful halo swirling like starry fragments, brilliantly radiant. Upon touching the seemingly alive Ancestor Black Dragon’s skeleton, it silently absorbed the light, as if devoured.
As a Seventh Rank material, theoretically, one would need Seventh Rank power to refine it.
Naturally, Chen Mobai lacked this power, but due to the Primordial Clock’s favorable attributes coupled with the profound mystery of "The Union of Differences," they could barely achieve this refinement.
After the Primordial Clock’s power was instinctively absorbed by the Ancestor Black Dragon’s skeleton, strands of Innate Water Element Essence Qi soon seeped from the cracks in the scales, rising like vapor and forming delicate blue runes upon encountering the clock’s wall.
In this process, the originally white jade Primordial Clock gradually transformed to a pale blue-white.
Upon noticing this transformation, Chen Mobai immediately stopped.
This was because the Primordial Clock, being only Sixth Rank, could only gradually digest the Seventh Rank power from the Innate Water Element Great Dao. Absorbing too much would cause imbalance in the Five Elements and potentially damage the magic artifact.
Innate Water Element is part of the Innate Five Elements Great Dao. Harmonizing with this might not constitute an Innate Daoist Monarch, yet it grants partial power, making one stand out among Seventh Rank True Immortals.
The Ancestor Black Dragon’s skeleton is already the crystallization of the Innate Water Element Great Dao.
By refining it with the Primordial Clock, one could attempt to start with the Water Attribute to cycle and complete the Five Elements Great Dao.
As Chen Mobai’s cultivation level rose higher, his understanding of the Seventh Rank Primordial Golden Dou deepened. The need for the power from the End of Destiny, Primordial, Void, and Five Elements Great Dao is to merge them into a very obscure Great Dao from the Three Thousand Great Dao.
This Great Dao is called "Shearing."
Under the Great Dao of Shearing, all beings, after birth, would have their accumulated power nullified, returning to the origin.
In the Acquired Great Dao, speaking of magic duels, the danger level of the Shearing Great Dao ranks towards the forefront.
It was during multiple visits to the Purple Cloud Palace that Chen Mobai realized, compared to his own Soul Dharma Aspect, with the perception from the Primordial Bead.
This wasn’t specified in the Yi Yuan True Monarch’s inheritance, or perhaps at the time of his ascendance, he hadn’t yet reached the necessary elevation, sensing instead the existence of such a Great Dao which could be integrated, entrusted through magic artifact manipulation, resulting in the "Primordial Golden Dou" technique.
A month later, a crack suddenly appeared on one of the jet black scales on the back of the Ancestor Black Dragon’s skeleton, which then shattered with a snap, transforming into a massive surge of dark blue Dao light, gushing into the Primordial Clock.
In an instant, as the clock’s body turned back to ivory, it was suddenly dyed with a layer of bright blue sheen.
If Chen Mobai hadn’t immediately summoned the Primordial Bead to assist the Primordial Clock in refining, he would likely face indigestion from this excessive flood.
During this process, the Sixth Rank Water Spirit Vein began trembling, releasing vast Spiritual Qi. Several satellites above the sea surface also lit up. Guided by Chen Mobai, the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation infused the space with magnificent Five Element Spiritual Energy.
These Qi flows could neutralize the Innate Water Element Dao Power of the Ancestor Black Dragon and facilitate the Primordial Clock’s refinement.
At the same time, not far away, a familiar azure luminescence shone from the Sea Eye direction, like an undersea sun, rushing towards their location.
That was none other than the Sea Suppressing Bead.
Qing Nu was secluded there, needing this magic artifact to move freely. When Chen Mobai confirmed that the Ancestor Black Dragon’s skeleton would not revive, he took it from the Law Domain and returned it to Qing Nu.
