On Mount Wudi, Xiao Yuli directs the Wood Virtue Mountain Lord to evacuate all disciples to the Eastern Barbarians, ensuring the mountain is clear for the Primordial Clock to absorb the sixth-tier spirit vein without interference. Chen Mobai converses with the weakened Earth Virtue over tea, sharing that rival Xing Ji failed his Divinity Transformation and hinting at the impending loss of the mountain's spirit vein. As Xiao Yuli stays to assist, Chen Mobai initiates the refinement, channeling the spirit vein's essence and integrating the Boundary Stone's void power into the artifact, which vibrates intensely before shedding its stone skin to unveil a smooth jade-like form.

Chen Mobai observed the Primordial Clock starting its transformation and couldn't resist giving a slight nod.

This showed that the upgrade had succeeded; now it all depended on how soon the Primordial Clock could fully absorb the Boundary Stone.

If it managed to refine it, that meant it had the chance to evolve into the Primordial Golden Dou, but failure to do so would leave it stuck at the Sixth Rank Superior Grade.

Naturally, Chen Mobai wished for the best outcome, and with the guidance of 'The Union of Differences,' the silver drops from the Boundary Stone were perfectly suited for the Primordial Clock to ingest and process.

Yet another layer of stone flaked away, revealing the white jade-like surface of the clock glowing with a soft, gentle radiance. Faint silver patterns seemed to flow across it, as if alive with light, swirling around the Primordial Clock. In their wake, the stone coverings split and dropped, slowly unveiling the fully renewed Primordial Clock.

Once every stone layer had shed, a remarkably clear and resonant bell chime echoed across Mount Wudi.

In that moment, the Primordial Clock's appearance shifted dramatically. No longer the crude, ancient gray-white of before, it had become a refined and serene White Jade Bell, flawless and pristine throughout. The silver patterns weaving inside and outside the bell's surface looked like auspicious clouds, lending an air of enigma.

Upon finishing its metamorphosis, the Primordial Clock's success stirred winds and clouds over Mount Wudi. The already abundant Sixth Rank Spiritual Energy surged as though seized by an unseen colossal force, pulled straight from the earth's core. Bursts of vibrant light masses, resembling rushing streams, were devoured entirely by the White Jade Bell.

The rear mountain.

Earth Virtue felt the once incredibly thick Sixth Rank Spiritual Energy surrounding him plummet swiftly. In just a handful of breaths, it fell to Fifth Rank Superior Grade, then Fifth Rank Middle Grade, and eventually Fifth Rank Lower Grade. It only halted right at the edge of dropping below Fifth Rank.

At that point, he realized the Primordial Clock had reached Sixth Rank Superior Grade.

Earth Virtue gazed toward the front mountain, his face etched with mixed emotions.

With this feat accomplished, Chen Mobai's standing could now match that of Yi Yuan True Monarch.

An adversary like that, even the legendary Divinity Transformation experts from the Dao Palace's past, might not defeat, much less someone like him.

Embracing his own limitations and defeat, Earth Virtue suddenly gained a moment of clarity.

Xiao Yuli didn't have the luxury to mourn the sharp decline in Mount Wudi's Spirit Vein; witnessing the Primordial Clock's triumphant advance to Sixth Rank Superior Grade filled her with thrill, and she voiced her admiration: “The Sect Master’s Artifact Refining Technique is unmatched; even Yi Yuan Ancestor prior to Ascendance hadn't attained your level.”

“It was just an enhancement of something pre-existing, nothing like the Ancestor forging the Primordial Clock from nothing,” Chen Mobai replied modestly, having refined numerous Dao Fruits via the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree; he understood well that true creation was the hardest part.

The method for elevating the Primordial Clock to Sixth Rank Superior Grade had been set long ago. Chen Mobai's role was simply to gather the required materials and help it process the Spirit Vein and such.

All of it built upon existing foundations.

Should he attempt to craft a Sixth Rank Superior Grade Primordial Clock anew, even with all materials at hand, success would be nearly unattainable.

“Yet, you're still the foremost Artifact Refiner across the Five Continents and Four Seas!”

Xiao Yuli’s praise brought an unstoppable smile to Chen Mobai's face.

He glanced upward at the Primordial Clock, now at Sixth Rank Superior Grade and still working on the Boundary Stone, figuring the process would take considerable time, so he pulled out a mat and settled down right in front of Yi Yuan Hall.

“As you practice the Yi Yuan Dao Scripture in your daily routine, do you encounter any puzzles? I have some free time at the moment; I could clarify them and even show you a few demonstrations.”

Since the Primordial Clock's ascension freed him from manually applying 'The Union of Differences,' it could handle the refinement independently, allowing Chen Mobai to turn his focus to teaching Xiao Yuli.

“Thank you, Sect Master. Yes, I have plenty of doubts!”

Xiao Yuli's face lit up with delight at the offer.

Receiving direct instruction from a sect's Divinity Transformation cultivator was an elite opportunity, even in Central State.

Moreover, Chen Mobai had elevated the Yi Yuan Dao Scripture to a proficiency just below Yi Yuan Ancestor's, and as a renowned Great Sage and skilled educator; for Xiao Yuli, this surpassed personal lessons from the Ancestor himself.

Atop Mount Wudi, the Primordial Clock hovered in the sky, repeatedly tolling pure and calming bell tones that cleansed the spirit.

Xiao Yuli shut her eyes and took a seat on the mat inside the hall, absorbing Chen Mobai's explanations, her form radiating five-colored glows, indicating a deeper grasp of the Yi Yuan Dao Scripture.

Slowly, wisps of Spiritual Energy gathered around her, building the impetus to shatter her bottleneck, which caught Chen Mobai off guard with pleasant surprise.

He hadn't anticipated Xiao Yuli's aptitude to be this exceptional, on the verge of advancing to Nascent Soul Middle Stage right then.

Yet, with Mount Wudi's Spirit Vein now fully under the Primordial Clock's command, she risked falling short from insufficient Spiritual Energy.

With that in mind, Chen Mobai retrieved the Heavenly Bead and positioned it above Xiao Yuli's head, promptly unleashing refined Five Element Spiritual Energy.

Next, he produced a few Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, infused with Mount Wudi's Spirit Vein power, and set up a Formation encircling her, providing Spiritual Energy while shielding Xiao Yuli and the Heavenly Bead from Mount Wudi's influence.

Once arranged, Xiao Yuli's earlier tense demeanor eased completely.

Chen Mobai divided his focus across three tasks: monitoring the Primordial Clock's absorption of the Boundary Stone, overseeing Xiao Yuli's cultivation in Yi Yuan Hall, though the bulk of his thoughts delved into exploring the Six Imperial Scripture.
