Chen Mobai has successfully executed the old Flood Dragon, a persistent threat, within the depths of the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court. While the remaining members of the Dragon Palace chose to retreat in fear rather than seek vengeance, the act sent ripples of terror throughout the surrounding seas. Upon returning to the Eastern Continent, Chen Mobai presented the beast's remains to the astonished True Monarchs, Dustless and Da Kong, attributing his victory to the powerful legacy of the Primordial Clock.

Dustless True Monarch was overcome with joy upon hearing Chen Mobai’s words.

He inspected the flood dragon blood he received with great care, noticing immediately that the volume was somewhat scant. Nevertheless, he chose to play the part of someone oblivious; after all, it was Chen Mobai who had personally undertaken the task of slaying the ancient creature, and for all he knew, other clandestine forces might have lent a hand. That he was willing to share any portion of such precious essence blood was a display of immense benevolence.

Offering repeated thanks, Dustless True Monarch promptly mapped out the distribution: "With this amount of essence blood, I am confident I can concoct four Communicating Holy Spirit Pills, which we shall divide equally among our four families."

Both Chen Mobai and Da Kong maintained complete faith in the expertise of Dustless True Monarch. If he asserted that four pills could be produced, there would be exactly four, not a sliver less.

"It is truly a shame that our sect will require at least a century before we are in a position to utilize these Communicating Holy Spirit Pills."

Chen Mobai sighed softly as the thought crossed his mind.

Among the Four Holy Lands defining the Eastern Continent, the Five Elements Sect possessed the most meager foundation. Despite his presence providing top-tier reinforcement, their total count of Nascent Soul and Core Formation experts, even if combined with the strength of the Yi Yuan Dao Palace, lagged behind the rest.

Moreover, individuals like Qing Nu, who possessed the potential for deity transformation, remained stalled in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

This stood in stark contrast to the other three great sacred lands, where numerous cultivators at the Nascent Soul completion stage waited with bated breath for their turn.

"With a young friend like yourself in our ranks, the Five Elements Sect is destined to flourish for the next millennium."

Da Kong True Monarch offered a comforting smile. It was clear the rise of the Five Elements Sect was now inevitable, and given the formidable strength and noble character displayed by Chen Mobai, they were more than happy to concede to this reality.

"Let us hope that is the case."

Chen Mobai nodded. He invited the two to descend onto the carcass of the old flood dragon, and together, they began their journey back to Wandering Mountain.

"The old flood dragon has fallen, and our business here is settled. I intend to return to the Dongling Domain to further my studies of the Dragon Abyss Cave."

Da Kong True Monarch was the first to offer his farewells.

He had spent the better part of recent years lost in the exploration of the Netherworld; had the old flood dragon not acted with such reckless aggression, threatening to submerge the Eastern Continent, he likely wouldn't have bothered to make an appearance at all.

"In that case, I shall also head back to the East Land to begin preparations for gathering the necessary materials for the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill. We exhausted our supply during the last round, and since our sect's reserves are critically low, I may need to solicit the assistance of the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace Commerce Association to source components from other states."

Dustless True Monarch was likewise prepared to depart; now that the shadow of the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court had been lifted, he had no intention of lingering on the Eastern Yi Coast.

"I shall issue the necessary orders..."

Da Kong True Monarch nodded, the gold and silver rings upon his wrists emitting a sudden flash. They enveloped both him and Dustless, preparing them for an immediate teleportation.

"I thank both of you seniors for your long-standing protection of the Eastern Yi Coast."

Chen Mobai had originally entertained the thought of inviting them for tea, but fearing they might pry into the specific methods used to finish off the flood dragon, he decided against it and offered his gratitude with a respectful bow of his folded fists.

"You are far too polite, young friend. Once your affairs here have been concluded, do come to the Dragon Abyss Cave to visit me."

Da Kong True Monarch let out a hearty laugh before activating his Void Secret Technique, vanishing from Wandering Mountain alongside Dustless True Monarch.

Chen Mobai then pivoted his attention back to the remains of the old flood dragon.

Throughout the Eastern Yi Coast, righteous cultivators remained locked in intense combat against the tide of the Mysterious Sea Monsters.

Nothing could have shaken the Dao hearts of those beasts more effectively than the sight of their fallen leader's corpse looming above the battlefield.

Chen Mobai stepped atop the head of the dead flood dragon once more. Riding the massive carcass into the firmament, he traced a path from Wandering Mountain along the coastline, heading toward the original site of the Golden Crow Immortal City.

Because a powerhouse capable of deity transformation was stationed at Wandering Mountain, the immediate vicinity remained tranquil, with no monsters daring to cause trouble. Even so, many righteous cultivators remained at their posts, having established defensive formations across key spirit vein nodes to ensure security.

As the massive corpse drifted overhead, those with poor visibility initially mistook it for a genuine spirit attack, their faces draining of color in sheer terror.

Moments later, however, they caught sight of the figure glowing with five-colored brilliance, standing firmly at the top of the beast's head.

To leave no room for doubt among the soldiers and the monsters alike, Chen Mobai drew the Primordial Yang Sword and drove it into the dragon's skull, the blade still glistening with fresh blood.

Witnessing this, the cultivators erupted into cheers and shouts of victory, some even overcome with enough joy to break into celebration.

For years, the war between the Eastern Yi border and the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court had crushed the spirits of the Eastern Continent Righteous Dao. Were it not for the impenetrable Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation holding back the relentless surge of the Mysterious Sea, humanity would have faced catastrophic attrition.

Under the constant, agonizing pressure of the infinite Mysterious Sea, the local spirit veins had been drained day by day, causing the coastline to retreat steadily.

Should this attrition persist, the entirety of the Eastern Yi Coast's spirit veins risked total exhaustion.

The only thing preventing collapse were the Wandering Mountains.

This sixth-rank spirit vein, positioned at the very frontline of the Mysterious Sea, functioned as the ultimate theater of war between the Eastern Continent's deity transformation experts and the true spirits of the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court.

So long as the Wandering Mountains stood, the line would hold.

However, defense was an infinitely more taxing burden than offense, especially when the end of the hostilities remained a distant, invisible horizon. This had caused more than a little grumbling among the ranks.

While these complaints were never voiced in the presence of the Five Elements Sect, Mo Douguang, as the presiding commander, was well aware of the growing resentment.

Because the forces were gathered from various locations—including those from other sacred territories—Mo Douguang was unable to strictly punish the dissenters.

Nonetheless, he felt immense relief that such negative sentiment remained the minority.

For the most part, the cultivators were still capable of accepting the harsh reality of their current situation on the battlefield.
