Chen Mobai takes responsibility for the disturbance, prompting Dustless True Monarch to suggest dividing or sealing the Eastern Wilderness Dragon Vein to repel the evil power hindering his ascension. Concerned about the vein's role in sustaining the mortal dynasty and eighty million lives, Chen refuses severance, leading Dustless to agree and propose sealing instead. Ao Yuxia intervenes with a tempting trade, offering rare Sixth Rank treasures and elixirs in exchange for using the dragon vein to cultivate her son in the Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture, but both Chen and Dustless ultimately decline, prioritizing principles over personal gain amid the heavy karma involved.

Disappointment filled Ao Yuxia as she departed the chamber.

"Senior, what is the Three Mystic Jade Dragon Pill?" Chen Mobai inquired of the Dustless True Monarch at his side.

"It’s an elixir that can help god-transcending cultivators break through bottlenecks."

Knowing Chen Mobai lacked deep knowledge of affairs outside the East Continent, the Dustless True Monarch provided a thorough explanation. This pill aided in overcoming hurdles during every phase of divinity transformation, though its initial use yielded the strongest results. It stood as the most renowned elixir from the Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace.

"Legends claim the Emperor of Heaven’s true form is a Jade Dragon, and prior to embracing the Destiny Great Dao, he bore the title ’Jade King.’ Afterward, under the guidance of a Great Divine Power Wielder, he aligned with Destiny and became the central figure for all existence, claiming the throne of the Emperor of Heaven."

"The Emperor of Heaven’s role ranks just below the supreme merit of creating heaven and earth; consequently, he then achieved the Merit Dao, merged the two paths, and ascended to the Pure Yang Realm. Among the Great World Builders, only the transcendent Mother of Water and Taixu True King surpassed him, marking him as the foremost cultivator in the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm."

"The ’Three Mystic’ denotes the bottlenecks in the early, middle, and late phases of divinity transformation, whereas ’Jade Dragon’ represents the Emperor of Heaven, giving the elixir its name."

Thanks to the Dustless True Monarch’s clear account, Chen Mobai focused completely on the opening details.

The Emperor of Heaven truly possesses Pure Yang Great Power!

Yet, another doubt quickly arose in his mind.

"Transcendence, does it mean a level surpassing Pure Yang?"

Curiosity drove Chen Mobai to pose the question, recalling that in the Immortal Gate Universe, Transcendence described entities like the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable who had grasped Eternity.

At minimum, it demands a Ninth Rank Creation.

Should the Mother of Water and Taixu True King have transcended already, the depths of the Tianhe Realm surpass even those of the Immortal Gate Universe.

"Not always, as per the ancestral sages of the Upper Realm, the Pure Yang Realm enables transcendence from this world. The Emperor of Heaven, tied to the Destiny Great Dao and shouldering the fate of every being, remains unable to depart, unless he abandons his Great Dao. Doing so would drop him from the Pure Yang Realm, trapping him in place."

As a god-transcending cultivator hailing from the Ancient Sacred Land, the Dao Morale Sect, the Dustless True Monarch proved his worth. Much like the Nine Heavens Morality Sect, it maintained ties to ascended forebears in the Upper Realm, granting access to such secretive insights.

"Regardless, the Emperor of Heaven holds Pure Yang status!"

Chen Mobai grasped it now: the Pure Yang Realm represented the ultimate in cultivation, where entities beyond it could transcend and secure Eternity.

Given the Emperor of Heaven’s such prowess, it remained baffling how the Eastern Emperor Court met its destruction long ago.

"The Emperor of Heaven’s position offers immense merit yet imposes heavy chains. Despite his Pure Yang attainment, he faces Destiny’s bindings. When fate demands one’s end, even the Emperor cannot spare them."

The Dustless True Monarch appeared to sense Chen Mobai’s thoughts and delivered these words with deliberate emphasis.

[If that holds true, the Emperor of Heaven’s Pure Yang Realm might lack full purity...]

By comparing this to the Eighth Rank Pure Yang Scroll inherited from the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable, Chen Mobai arrived at this judgment.

Authentic Pure Yang features endless mana and infinite divine abilities; a full Great Dao forms only a portion of its scope.

Nevertheless, the Emperor of Heaven stood as a mighty force Chen Mobai dared not challenge at present.

Turning down Ao Yuxia this time might sow the seeds for troubles down the line.

With these reflections, Chen Mobai and the Dustless True Monarch stood up and headed back to the adjacent hall.

...

Once the open artifact refining session concluded, the East Continent’s artifact refiners assembled in Huozhen Immortal City chose to linger, aware that Chen Mobai would soon craft the Raccoon Teeth Double Hook Sword.

Though the process wouldn’t be open to view this time, that didn’t deter them from anticipating the debut of the fresh Fifth Rank Flying Sword.

Following the failed talks between Ao Yuxia and the two god-transcending cultivators from the East Continent, they departed the following day alongside Yuwen Baozhi.

This outcome delighted Chen Mobai, who went so far as to escort the mother and son personally to the massive transmission array, finding relief only upon witnessing their exit.

Through this, Yuwen Baozhi’s reluctance shone clear; he yearned to stay until Chen Mobai completed the Fifth Rank Flying Sword, content to merely behold it even without watching the forging.

Regrettably, Ao Yuxia held the authority to decide.

"Senior Blue Emperor, should you journey to Central State someday, let me host you fittingly."

Prior to their departure, Yuwen Baozhi handed his message talisman to Chen Mobai, who received it with politeness.

Accompanying the mother and son was Palace Master Azure Fall, their original introducer.

From every angle, her goal of securing the Fifth Rank Artifact Refiner recognition had succeeded, so she departed beaming, expressing repeated gratitude to Chen Mobai.

In short order, at the grand transmission array, just the Dustless True Monarch and Chen Mobai remained.

"Young Friend Chen, might I speak with you about a matter?"

Initially invited by Chen Mobai as backup against potential clashes with Ao Yuxia—for mediation or support—the Dustless True Monarch found fresh inspiration sparked by her offer.

"Senior, no need for such courtesy; go ahead."

Extreme curiosity gripped Chen Mobai, pondering what the Dustless True Monarch wished to discuss now that Ao Yuxia had gone.

"When the Eastern Emperor Court collapsed, our Dao Morale Sect appeared innocent outwardly, yet we offended the Emperor of Heaven. The sect’s ancestor faced a summons to the Upper Realm and a scolding. Temperamental by nature, he quit afterward, roaming freely as a wanderer in the Immortal Realm. He then commanded us East Continent disciples to smite any Dragon Pulse that gains spirit whenever such an occasion arises."

The Dustless True Monarch started revealing why the Dao Morale Sect had pursued Dragon Pulses across tens of thousands of years.

Hearing this, Chen Mobai grew even more captivated.

With the Emperor of Heaven at Pure Yang level, while Dao Morale Sect ascenders probably only hit Harmonization, they still showed such bold defiance toward him?

Clearly, ties among the Great Abilities in the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm intertwined in profoundly intricate ways.

"As I see it, the assault on the Dragon Pulse likely stems from the Emperor of Heaven’s longing for transcendence, needing a successor to take his Destiny or Merit Dao. However, the Emperor of Heaven’s seat anchors this realm, and shifting it might disrupt the Three Thousand Great Dao, impacting even Harmonization Great Abilities. Hence, across the Five Continents and Four Seas, numerous groups silently consent to severing the dragon, blocking further heirs from the Emperor of Heaven rising via the Golden Que Palace."

"Thus, the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm serves as the arena for the Emperor of Heaven and diverse Daoist Monarch Great Abilities, while we Holy Lands in the Lower Realm act as mere pieces in their game."

"Taixu True King’s return will probably unveil this hidden conflict, forcing the Emperor or the Daoist Monarch Great Abilities to crown a definitive winner."

Chen Mobai never anticipated the Dustless True Monarch sharing such revelations with him.

This showed he viewed him as one of their own!

"What guidance do you offer, elder? I’m listening closely."

At his current cultivation, Chen Mobai couldn’t join these lofty battles in the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm, so he eagerly asked the Dustless True Monarch for direction on his plans.

"Young friend, perhaps it’s wiser to hold onto your Dragon Pulse for the moment. Later, I’ll fetch the Heavenly Ground Xuanji Instrument from the sect for study. Should it awaken spirit, I’ll pretend not to notice. If the Upper Realm’s contest ends with the Emperor of Heaven triumphant before my ascension, presenting this Dragon Pulse to the Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace as amends would be ideal."

At these words, Chen Mobai silently dubbed the Dustless True Monarch a sly veteran.

Unascended yet hedging bets on all fronts.

Still, this favored him greatly.

After all, though his Dragon Pulse proved tough to nurture, clashing with the Dao Morale Sect over it wasn’t worthwhile.

With the Dustless True Monarch volunteering to help hide it, Chen Mobai naturally consented.

This surely stemmed from the Saintly Virtue Dao’s bestowed fortune.

"My thanks, elder, for shedding light; I grasp your aim."

Chen Mobai nodded, signaling his approval.

"Young friend, come to the Dongling Domain when opportunity allows."

The Dustless True Monarch smiled upon Chen Mobai’s response, grasped a pouch of Enlightenment Tea, and entered the grand Transmission Array, vanishing from the Eastern Wilderness.

As silver lights danced, the Dustless True Monarch arrived in Wuwei Immortal City. He hurried back to the Dao Morale Sect headquarters, claiming a need for the Heavenly Ground Xuanji Instrument to probe the ruins’ ancestor vein, thus borrowing this sect treasure.

Shenxi detected nothing amiss, even accompanying the Dustless True Monarch personally to the Dongling Domain.

Shortly thereafter, in a particular ruin beyond Dongling Immortal City, the Dustless True Monarch’s form materialized silently in the air.

After an hour’s wait, gales whipped through the heavens, clouds darkened and expanded, lightning cracked and thunder boomed, unleashing a downpour that shrouded the world in haze, as though the Tianhe had burst, deluging the Mortal Realm.

Amid this veiled sight, the Dustless True Monarch relaxed at ease, cupping his hands toward the expansive clouds above: "Ao, my friend, I’ve convinced young Chen to safeguard the Dragon Pulse."

"Words alone won’t do; bind it with an oath." A booming voice echoed from the clouds, unveiling a lithe, dragon-resembling form, yet it emitted no detectable aura.

"True, trust between us still needs building..."

Saying so, the Dustless True Monarch lifted his hand to vow, pledging his deeds.

"Excellent, take this Three Mystic Jade Dragon Pill. Should the Dragon Pulse bloom and my son master the Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture one day, greater rewards await you."

A luminous Jade Vial drifted from the clouds, like a star shining in the storm.

The Dustless True Monarch caught it, uncorked the vial to inspect the pill within, and verifying its genuineness, nodded contentedly.

"In that case, I offer early wishes for your son to claim the Emperor of Heaven’s throne someday, my friend."

Having claimed his prize, the Dustless True Monarch uttered these words.

"I hold no such grand ambitions. If my son can take over the Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace upon our ascension, that would be enough."

Ao Yuxia knew her son’s nature; his talent in cultivation was solid but fell short of prodigious geniuses.

Her many schemes aimed simply to raise him to the Spirit Transformation Stage.

That way, she could ascend without worry, joining her husband in the Immortal Realm to vie for the Emperor of Heaven’s seat.
