I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2463 - 1095: Refining the Primordial Clock (Part 3)

Luck favored all present, for Patriarch Chen stood as a righteous soul in the East Continent. Thus, even as the Primordial Clock's might rendered their Five Elements Spiritual Power wild and untamed, no catastrophe struck. On the contrary, amid the activation, it surged forth on its own and intensified, granting breakthroughs to countless cultivators blessed with keen perception who shattered their long-standing hurdles.

Naturally, the members and disciples of the Yi Yuan Dao Palace reaped the grandest gains from this.

Their path of cultivation revolves wholly around the Five Elements Spiritual Power, inherited straight from the Primordial Clock's ancient line.

As the bell's echoes faded into silence, control over their spiritual power returned to every soul.

Certain cultivators dropped into seated meditation right away, eyes shut tight, grasping at the fresh chance for advancement they'd just grasped.

Yet others turned toward the peak of Mount Wudi—the heart of those expanding five-hued waves—and bowed in fervent reverence. A colossal Dharma Body loomed across the skies and lands, striking that enormous gray-white stone bell anew.

Clang!

A fresh peal of the bell thundered forth, and wiser now, every cultivator swiftly settled into place, loosening their spiritual power to yield to the Primordial Clock's command.

Yet on this occasion, with the ripples bursting out, Chen Mobai held back from any extra moves.

The Primordial Clock, brimming with its vast array of flawless powers, now tested a fresh facet of its might.

Following the second chime, Chen Mobai's Heavenly Blessing and Response Earth Spirit attuned to Mount Wudi's sixth rank spirit vein, slowly bending it to his will.

From this point, at his mere desire, he could either shatter this spirit vein in an explosion or draw its purest spiritual energy straight into himself.

Mastering spirit veins tied to the Five Elements falls within the Primordial Clock's arsenal of skills.

Still, the ease of it stemmed from how Mount Wudi's sixth rank spirit vein had been forged originally by Yi Yuan True Monarch through the Primordial Clock itself.

In the midst of refining this magic artifact via sacrament, Chen Mobai perceived deeper secrets unveiled once the Primordial Bead fused with it.

In theory, Primordial True Qi draws upon the Five Elements to its limits, yet against powers beyond those elements, it falls short.

But every force across heaven and earth roots in the Five Elements. Thus, after forging the Primordial Bead, Chen Mobai gained early command over void cultivation, distilling the endless voids' spectacles into core Five Elements Spiritual Energy.

And with the Primordial Bead merged into the Primordial Clock, beyond the void, even solid forms of all kinds can be transmuted into Five Elements Spiritual Energy.

Chen Mobai drew a chunk of dark purple ore from his storage bag, set on testing the Technique of Turning into Gold with it.

As the Primordial Clock hummed softly, its five-colored waves washed over the ore, which abruptly shifted from firm matter to ethereal nothingness, dissolving into a ribbon of purplish-red vapor alongside scattered gray-black specks.

Those specks marked the ore's flaws, which Chen Mobai allowed the breeze to whisk away, while the purplish-red vapor broke apart into three streams of spiritual energy amid the bell's ring.

These embodied the pure essences of metal, earth, and fire properties, the metal one dominating in volume.

With a simple gesture from Chen Mobai, the essences gathered in his hand, where he swiftly forged them via the Technique of Turning into Gold.

In mere breaths, another level pierced through in his Technique of Turning into Gold.

Satisfied with this trial of the power, Chen Mobai's curiosity lingered, so he shifted a hundred miles distant to a desolate peak, summoning the Thousand Swords Dharma Body to toll the gray-white stone bell once again.

Guided by the Primordial Bead under his sway, the bell's ripple this time targeted only the barren mountain's summit.

As the five-colored waves converged, the mountain's upper portion morphed in a rush into a torrent of earth-yellow spiritual energy, fully devoured by the gray-white stone bell, until naught remained above the lower section.

"With power like this, how could senior still face shortages in spiritual energy for advancement?"

Chen Mobai marveled at the sight before him.

The Primordial Clock wields the art of distilling all Five Elements wonders into spiritual energy, and over millennia, it could hoard vast reserves. Though the East Land holds to righteous ways, one might venture to forsaken wastes or distant seas.

[It demands harmony with the Primordial Bead, and the prior two Divinity Transformation experts in the Dao Palace missed your deep-rooted base. Their sacramental refinement of me served mainly to aid their own paths...]

This implied the absorbed Five Elements Spiritual Energy served the artifact's wielder, not hoarded solely by the Primordial Clock.

Besides, at its current tier, swelling the Primordial Clock with plain spiritual energy would demand an ocean's worth, far simpler to just forge a sixth rank spirit vein outright.

"Then, should ample Five Elements Spiritual Energy arise in time, might senior ascend to seventh rank?"

A spark of idea hit Chen Mobai, and he posed the question brimming with eager hope.

[In principle, such a path exists, though reaching it would likely mean I'd refine the whole East Continent down to Five Elements Spiritual Energy...]

Stirred by Chen Mobai's query, the Primordial Clock echoed with its own thrill.

After all, seventh rank stood as a pinnacle even Yi Yuan True Monarch yearned to claim.

"The Yi Yuan Dao Scripture's void cultivation section details the seventh rank Primordial Golden Dou. Given my gifts, mastering the Five Elements, Primordial, Void, and End of Destiny—these four Great Daos—ought to lie within reach. Yet this stage eluded even the Yi Yuan Patriarch, leaving its true grasp a mystery!"

Chen Mobai voiced his words laced with budding optimism.

He had already claimed the Five Elements Dao Fruit.

The Primordial Dao Fruit rested with Earth Virtue, destined to become his own.

The void needed no mention. Post-Divinity Transformation, he could nearly feel this Great Dao's presence anywhere, anytime. But with his core art as the Pure Yang Scroll, and his labors poured into the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, he'd spared little effort there. Still, should he turn his focus, triumph awaited!
