I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1676: Chapter 842: The Beginning of the Minor Immortal Gate

Another year has passed.

On this day, after finishing the meeting, Chen Mobai returned to his courtyard.

He had remodeled one of the rooms for artifact refining purposes.

After informing Shi Wanyu, he once again began his seclusion.

A simple red copper bell fell into Chen Mobai’s palm—his Lifespan Artifact, the Morning Bell.

Because he had previously spent all his time on enhancing his cultivation realm, the Morning Bell was only nourished to the Third Rank Peak.

This was quite rare within the Immortal Gate.

Many cultivators capable of breaking through realms would train to the limits of their current realm early on, then pour their energy into their Lifespan Artifacts while waiting for elixirs.

Sometimes, the Lifespan Artifact would break through before the cultivator.

But for Chen Mobai, this process was reversed.

He cultivated too quickly; before the Morning Bell could react, he had already achieved Nascent Soul Formation.

Now, Chen Mobai intended to use higher-grade materials to enhance it.

For other cultivators within the Immortal Gate, this process was extremely difficult. It required Fourth-Grade Spirit Materials and high-level Artifact Refiner skills.

But for Chen Mobai, it posed no problem.

Under the upgrading technique of “The Union of Differences,” he concentrated and used the Tuśita Fire to melt the Spirit Materials that gleamed with various hues, bit by bit, replacing the Third Rank Red Copper within the Morning Bell.

About a tenth of these Spirit Materials were acquired from the Immortal Gate.

The vast majority, however, were found in the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace archive, and the abundance of Fourth-Grade Spirit Materials was overwhelming.

Eventually, he matched the existing materials within the Immortal Gate to form this set for leveling up.

With Chen Mobai’s current realm, upgrading his Lifespan Artifact from the Third Rank to the Fourth Rank was not effortless but posed no difficulty.

As the last piece of Third-Rank material in the Morning Bell was replaced by Fifth-Order Profound Gold, a strong, profound bell chime echoed within the Artifact Refining Room.

Fortunately, considering the secrecy of many materials during artifact refining, Chen Mobai had reinforced the room’s restrictions. The bell chimes were completely isolated inside.

Otherwise, half of Wangwu Cave Heaven might have heard the sound.

Under the effects of “The Union of Differences” and Tuśita Fire, the Morning Bell gradually merged with the Spirit Materials and began its transformation.

During this process, Chen Mobai multitasked, using the Flame Lighting Technique to purify and refine the Divine Sense increased by the Devour God Technique.

Uncertain of how much time had passed, a clear bell chime sounded, signaling the Morning Bell’s successful upgrade.

Chen Mobai opened his eyes, and with a summoning gesture, the Morning Bell floated above his palm, emanating a soft, red-gold glow.

Compared to its Third Rank incarnation, the bell’s body was now broader and thicker; a light shake produced a clearer and more resonant tone, as if refining the well-honed Divine Sense anew.

Chen Mobai looked satisfied.

This Lifespan Artifact, next primarily needs to cultivate spirituality to reach the Fourth Rank Peak, and with the Fifth-Order Profound Gold, it might even attain the Fifth Rank.

After upgrading the Morning Bell, he continued without pause, taking out the Haotian Mirror, intending to enhance this artifact as well.

Having acquired a vast amount of Spirit Materials, including Fifth-Order Profound Gold, from the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, Chen Mobai planned to upgrade all his artifacts.

Since the Haotian Mirror was originally at the Fourth Rank level and already had slight spirituality, Chen Mobai easily upgraded it from Fourth-Grade lower class to Fourth-Grade mid-grade.

Once the Haotian Mirror fully absorbed the new Spirit Materials, it could soon ascend to Fourth-Grade superior.

However, progressing from Fourth Rank to Fifth Rank was not a mere material issue.

It mainly required nurturing the artifact’s spirituality.

After enhancing both of his Lifespan Artifacts, Chen Mobai brought out the Qing Shuang Sword.

Though not his own, this sword played a significant role in refining the Tuśita Fire, and Chen Mobai wouldn’t neglect it now that the means were available.

[Master!]

Yet as the Qing Shuang Sword emerged, it charmingly called out.

This made Chen Mobai rather embarrassed, shaking his head repeatedly.

He expressed that he only borrowed it from Pei Qingshuang, and its rightful master remained Pei Qingshuang.

[Alright, Master!]

The Qing Shuang Sword’s reply was the opposite of Chen Mobai’s correction.

Chen Mobai shook his head helplessly, taking out the last piece of Fifth-Order Profound Gold scrap.

The Qing Shuang Sword immediately swirled lightly, transforming into a green stream of light, orbiting around him.

Chen Mobai calmed it with a gentle pat, then wielded Tuśita Fire to melt the Fifth-Order Profound Gold…

The spiritual nature of the Qing Shuang Sword is only slightly inferior to the Purple Electric Sword. During the absorption of Mysterious Gold, it didn’t even require Chen Mobai’s attention. Once guided at the start, it was able to refine itself.

After enhancing all three magic artifacts, three months had passed.

After checking the time, Chen Mobai clicked on Turtle Treasure and went to the Tianhe Realm.

Gu Yan soon came over, and he inquired her about recent events.

However, both the Eastern Wilderness and the Eastern Barbarians were calm and peaceful. The Five Elements Sect, under his new policy as the guiding principle, began to develop and improve steadily.

Currently, the number of Qi Cultivating disciples across the Five Elements Meridians had reached nearly thirty thousand.

This scale was now comparable to the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.

And it continues to grow.

Since recruiting sect disciples once every ten years often overlooked many people with Spiritual Roots, Chen Mobai decided to change it to annual recruitment.

Of course, they weren’t admitted directly into the Five Elements Sect.

Instead, modeled after the Longevity Academy in Northern Abyss City, new scholarly mansions were established in the counties where the Five Elements Meridians were located. As long as the disciples met the criteria with Spiritual Roots, they could enroll for free.

Those lacking in Spiritual Root Talent could also enroll as self-funded.

Sheng Zhaoxi, who had long coveted Beiyuan City’s real estate, was the first to respond to the call, establishing the Fire Truth Academy in Yan Prefecture, emulating the sale of school district housing and making a fortune.

However, according to Chen Mobai’s wishes, the Spirit Stones she earned were to be used to build an Immortal City.

With the high development of society, urbanization is an inevitable process. Not only could it broaden cultivators’ horizons, but it could also promote economic development and prosperity, facilitate resource flow in the Eastern Wilderness, and create more opportunities.

Beiyuan City is a very good example.

Because this Immortal City gathered nearly half of the cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness, resources from Rank-1 to Rank-3 could basically be purchased here.

Just last year, seven family-affiliated cultivators and three Loose Cultivators successfully established their Foundation in Beiyuan City.

In the past, they wouldn’t even think about Foundation Building Pills, and their breakthroughs might have been disturbed and failed.

The existence of Beiyuan City gave Loose Cultivators the confidence to seclude themselves for breakthroughs safely.

As a result, all Loose Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness regard owning property in Beiyuan City as an honor.

Having a house equates to a sense of security.

This sense of security comes from the two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Five Elements Sect!

Chen Mobai wants to expand the success of Beiyuan Immortal City to the entire Eastern Wilderness.

The Five Elements Meridians are all in support of this.

After all, Beiyuan is at the northernmost end of the Eastern Wilderness and cannot radiate to many remote areas.

Chen Mobai plans to first establish five Immortal Cities with the Five Elements Meridians as the core. This requires many Spirit Stones, with part sponsored by the Five Elements Sect, and part from pre-sales of school district housing, which should be enough.

If this step succeeds, it will then be gradually promoted, establishing secondary cities in the other fourteen counties and more scholarly mansions.

Ultimately transforming the entire Eastern Wilderness step by step towards the model of an Immortal Gate.

Chen Mobai doesn’t know if this idea will succeed, but it is within his ability, and he will attempt it as much as possible.

If he could transform the Eastern Wilderness into a Minor Immortal Gate, he might cultivate a new, uniquely his own, perfectly compatible Fruit of Dao’s Rule here.

After inquiring about the construction status of the five new scholarly mansions and Immortal Cities, Chen Mobai first went to Mount Tianpeng.

The Cloud County, where Mount Tianpeng is located, is the location chosen by the Water Vein for its academy and Immortal City.

Because of the perennial war in Wind Rain Hamlet, which is too dangerous, Nu Jiang investigated five counties on the edge of Yun Meng Ze and finally chose the centrally located Cloud County.

The name of this academy and Immortal City is “Cloud Dream”.

At Giant Tree Ridge, a Divine Wood Academy was constructed according to Chen Mobai’s instructions, with the Immortal City expanding from Divine Wood City as the center.

The Earth Vein has the existing Hunyuan Immortal City, only a new Earth Stem Academy needs to be built.

Finally, the Metal Vein found it troublesome, and even with Chen Mobai’s orders, they procrastinated with low work efficiency.

Chen Mobai could only send people to assist the Metal Vein in completing this task.

When the Metal Vein heard they didn’t have to work, they were immediately elated, handing over all their tasks to the people Chen Mobai sent, Ding Ying and Qi Rui.

As time passed, the Kaiyuan Hall assembly also arrived on schedule. Chen Mobai appeared at the assembly with Wang Shuye and several other fellow sect members, causing quite a stir. After all, Chen Mobai is now a prominent figure in the Immortal Gate, and his every move captures people’s attention.

At the assembly, Chen Mobai did not speak much. He quietly listened to the speeches of others, occasionally nodding or smiling. He knew that his current position was different, and every word he said could cause ripples, so he chose to be cautious.

However, despite Chen Mobai maintaining a low profile, his strength and influence were undeniable. As he left the assembly with Wang Shuye and others, he left behind whispers of admiration and gazes of respect. They knew that every step Chen Mobai took was paving the way for the future of the Immortal Gate, and he himself was continuously ascending to greater heights.

The materials used were mostly sourced from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, with very few collected from within the Immortal Gate.

After allowing the Qing Shuang Sword and Haotian Mirror to undergo Fifth Order Profound Gold cultivation aided by the Heavenly Bead,

Coincidentally, it was year-end again, and Chen Mobai attended the Kaiyuan Hall assembly with Wang Shuye and the others.
