I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2462 - 1095: Refining the Hun Yuan Clock (Part 2)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
[Once you've refined me, given my elevated grade, even bolstered by the Primordial Bead, the drain on True Qi will prove massive. That said, my regular defense already hits sixth rank, meaning against a standard Divinity Transformation cultivator, just summoning me will block any fifth-rank spell from touching you.]
[Yet within the Tianhe Realm, elite Divinity Transformation cultivators might wield sixth-rank artifacts or draw on deep reserves. Therefore, don't let my safeguarding make you overconfident.]
[Plus, you vowed earlier to harness Mount Wudi's sixth rank Spirit Vein in refining me to reach sixth rank superior grade...]
While the Primordial Clock delivered its message, it drifted free from the Yi Yuan True Monarch's statue grip, steadily contracting until it rested in his open palm.
"With the senior keeping his word, I'll surely not disappoint, so let's start the refinement immediately to let the senior consume the sixth rank Spirit Vein."
To Chen Mobai, the Yi Yuan Dao Palace served only as a branch sect at best, and even the core vein of his Five Elements Sect lacked a sixth rank Spirit Vein so far.
Mount Wudi's sixth rank Spirit Vein drew his attention somewhat, and the prospect of boosting the Primordial Clock with it left him quite eager.
[No need to hurry this; first advance to sixth rank Artifact Refiner yourself, then shape me anew as you desire—that approach will succeed.]
On this point, the Primordial Clock urged holding off for now.
After all, it had endured more than six thousand years awaiting this upgrade chance, so it sought complete readiness before advancing with steady resolve.
"Then we'll follow the senior's guidance."
Chen Mobai, upon hearing it, found the Primordial Clock's reasoning sound.
What's more, the existing sixth rank middle grade Primordial Clock already served him well enough.
[One other factor: Earth Virtue stands on the brink of Deity Transformation; attempting the breakthrough over the sixth rank Spirit Vein raises his chances a touch. He's shouldered the sect's burdens through trials, so we can't rob him of this opportunity.]
While Chen Mobai clashed with Earth Virtue, the Primordial Clock sided with him instead; dormant for much of the time, it still grasped Wuming's passing and Earth Virtue's grueling path to becoming Great Elder.
It recognized as well that Earth Virtue's deepest drive remained achieving Deity Transformation.
Through the Primordial Clock's counsel, Chen Mobai formed a clear sense of the treasure's temperament.
A true Righteous Path artifact!
And one that matched him ideally as its fresh master.
"Should Earth Virtue manage Deity Transformation down the line, he'd owe the senior profound gratitude."
Chen Mobai commented, a smile on his face.
Typically, he preferred Earth Virtue's failure in the attempt, yet with the Primordial Clock voicing this, he refrained from any covert interference.
Besides, Chen Mobai trusted his ability to keep Earth Virtue in check, even post-Deity Transformation.
[Would you prefer refining me right here, or venturing to the Eastern Wilderness?]
Sensing Chen Mobai's commitment, the Primordial Clock eased with relief, assured of its new master's upright character, and thus revealed its thoughts freely.
"What's the senior's view on it?"
Chen Mobai showed strong deference to the Primordial Clock; possessing this refined treasure would equip him to challenge even Tianhe Realm's foremost non-Demon Path Divinity Transformation powerhouses.
Confronting the elder Flood Dragon anew, with its pinnacle sixth-rank Sea Suppressing Bead, he no longer needed to cower away.
[Staying put: If I depart, absent a core to anchor the Spirit Vein and array, you'd have to recalibrate the grand formation. Do you have access to any sixth rank Array Masters?]
The Primordial Clock shared its reservations about accompanying Chen Mobai elsewhere; sustaining a sixth rank Spirit Vein demanded a sixth rank spiritual treasure for stability—sans an artifact, a sixth rank grand array might just manage to contain it.
"How fortunate—by Tianhe Realm criteria, that describes me!"
At these words, Chen Mobai grinned and indicated himself.
[You...]
The Primordial Bell Spirit registered mild shock, given Chen Mobai's young age. Ordinarily, fifth rank prowess in Artifact Refining signaled rare talent; sixth rank Array Master skill would surpass even the Yi Yuan True Monarch.
Chen Mobai offered no further words, instead advancing to position the colossal Primordial Bead atop the Primordial Clock, where it morphed into the Treasure Bell's apex.
The instant they united, a vibrant five-colored glow pulsed outward in rippling waves.
Cultivators freshly stepping into Yi Yuan Hall found themselves rooted in place.
For right then, every soul atop Mount Wudi experienced their spiritual power and True Qi spiraling out of control.
None but those practicing Primordial True Qi—like Earth Virtue, Chen Lingming, and Xiao Yuli—could manage the slightest motion.
Precisely then, a pure and ringing chime filled all ears.
The bell pealed at length, its tones deepening into richer, more solemn depths as they expanded.
Like a symphony in light, the five-colored radiance blanketed Mount Wudi alongside the chime, its heavenly strains reaching even the cultivators of Yi Yuan Immortal City.
The Primordial Clock!
Those very words surged into every mind.
Indeed, this crowning Righteous Dao treasure of the Eastern Continent—particularly legendary to Yi Yuan Immortal City's residents—echoed like thunder in their awareness.
Above all, the chime ignited a wild surge in their Five Elements spiritual powers, impossible to rein in.
Such was the fabled wonder of the Primordial Clock.
Has Ancestor Chen mastered this peerless treasure?
Cultivators in Yi Yuan Immortal City who'd watched Chen Mobai climb the mountain now pieced together what had transpired.
