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

Thankfully, Patriarch Chen stands as a righteous figure across the East Continent, which meant that despite the Primordial Clock's influence making their Five Elements Spiritual Power spiral out of control, it avoided bringing ruin upon them. On the contrary, as the activation unfolded, this power surged on its own and intensified, enabling a host of sharp-minded cultivators to smash through their stuck points in cultivation.

Without doubt, the inhabitants and followers of the Yi Yuan Dao Palace gained the biggest advantages from all this.

Their practice revolves completely around the Five Elements Spiritual Power, inherited straight from the Primordial Clock's ancient line.

As the bell's echoes faded away bit by bit, every person regained command over their spiritual power.

A number of cultivators dropped into seated meditation right then, eyes shut tight, eager to grasp the breakthrough chance they'd just felt.

Even more turned toward the peak of Mount Wudi, the heart of those spreading five-hued waves, and bowed in deep reverence. Looming in the skies and lands, a colossal Dharma Body emerged, giving the enormous gray-white stone bell another mighty shake.

Clang!

Yet another peal of the bell thundered forth, and now wise from the first, every cultivator settled into place at once, loosening their spiritual power to let the Primordial Clock seize the reins.

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

This treasure, the Primordial Clock, packed with its vast array of perfect features, was now probing a fresh power.

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

From here on, whenever he desired, he could either blast this spirit vein apart or draw its purest spiritual energy straight into himself.

Mastering spirit veins tied to the Five Elements falls under the Primordial Clock's powers too.

Still, the ease of it came because Yi Yuan True Monarch had first gathered this sixth rank spirit vein on Mount Wudi using the Primordial Clock itself.

While refining the magic artifact through sacred rites, Chen Mobai caught glimpses of deeper secrets now that the Primordial Bead had fused with it.

In principle, growing Primordial True Qi drains the Five Elements dry, yet against powers beyond the Five Elements, it falls short.

But everything between heaven and earth holds traces of the Five Elements. Thus, after forging the Primordial Bead, Chen Mobai gained early access to void cultivation, turning the endless forms of emptiness into core Five Elements Spiritual Energy.

Once the Primordial Bead merges with the Primordial Clock, beyond just the void, even solid objects anywhere can get broken down into Five Elements Spiritual Energy.

From his storage bag, Chen Mobai pulled out a chunk of deep purple ore, planning to test the Technique of Turning into Gold on it.

With a soft hum from the Primordial Clock, the five-colored waves washed over the ore, which shifted in an instant from hard form to nothingness, dissolving into a ribbon of reddish-purple vapor and some dark-gray specks.

Those specks marked the flaws in the ore, which Chen Mobai allowed to drift off on the breeze, as the reddish-purple vapor split under the bell's chime into three streams of spiritual energy.

These carried the pure essences of metal, earth, and fire properties, dominated by the metal one.

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

In mere moments of breathing, his Technique of Turning into Gold advanced to a new level.

After trying out this function, Chen Mobai's curiosity lingered, so he shifted a hundred miles off to a desolate peak, summoning the Thousand Swords Dharma Body to toll the gray-white stone bell again.

Guided by the Primordial Bead under his command, the bell's waves this round targeted only the barren peak's summit.

As the five-colored waves poured in and blended, the mountain's upper section abruptly melted into a rush of earthy-yellow spiritual energy, all sucked up by the gray-white stone bell, leaving just the base behind with empty space above.

"With such an ability, how can senior still lack the spiritual energy for promotion?"

Chen Mobai stared in shock at the sight.

The Primordial Clock holds the power to distill all Five Elements things into spiritual energy, and in theory, gathering enough across millennia could suffice. Even in the righteous lands of the East Land, one might seek out ancient wastes or distant seas.

[It requires coordination with the Primordial Bead, and the two generations of Divinity Transformation before in the Dao Palace lacked your profound foundations. Even if they conducted sacramental refinement of me, it was more for assisting them in their cultivation...]

This indicates the absorbed Five Elements Spiritual Energy serves the artifact's wielder, rather than the Primordial Clock claiming it all for itself.

Besides, at its current level, the Primordial Clock would need an overwhelming volume of basic spiritual energy to advance, making it simpler to just refine a full sixth rank spirit vein outright.

"In that case, if there is enough Five Element Spiritual Energy in the future, could senior be promoted to the seventh rank?"

Chen Mobai pondered this and voiced the question, his voice brimming with eager hope.

[Theoretically, there is this possibility, but to achieve that, I estimate I’d have to refine the entire East Continent into Five Elements Spiritual Energy...]

After catching Chen Mobai's suggestion, the Primordial Clock stirred with its own excitement.

After all, reaching the seventh rank remains a grand aspiration even for Yi Yuan True Monarch.

"The content of Yi Yuan Dao Scripture on cultivating the void describes the seventh rank Primordial Golden Dou. With my talent, cultivating the Five Elements, Primordial, Void, and End of Destiny, these four Great Taos should not be a problem. But even this realm, even the Yi Yuan Patriarch did not manage to achieve it, so it’s unknown whether it is attainable!"

Chen Mobai shared these thoughts, laced with a spark of optimism.

He has already secured the Five Elements Dao Fruit.

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

As for the void, that's a given. Post-Divinity Transformation, he can nearly feel this Great Tao's presence whenever and wherever, though his core method, the Pure Yang Scroll, directs most of his focus toward the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, leaving little time for this path. Yet, should he choose to pursue it, success lies within reach!
