Chen Mobai decided to nurture the resilient Jade Phoenix Tree with proper resources, instructing the upgrade of Red Sandstone City to a special district as the new central point for Earth Element Star. At the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, the Immortal Gate's alchemists successfully refined the first batch of ten superior Fifth Rank Ascension Dragon Gall Pills amid high tension. Chen Mobai distributed the potent elixirs to god-transcending cultivators, shared consumption insights, and later swallowed four himself beneath the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree.

At his current level in the Middle Stage of Deity Transformation Realm, refining this Ascension Dragon Gall Pill proved entirely effortless for him.

Surging torrents of Sixth Rank fire spiritual power kept flooding in without cease, encasing him completely within a colossal fireball. Deep inside, Chen Mobai experienced a soothing immersion in gentle warm winds, feeling utterly relaxed and comfortable. Empowered by the elixir's effects, his advancement in the Pure Yang Scroll cultivation raced ahead at a speed never seen before.

The Ascension Dragon Gall Pill, crafted by the Immortal Gate, boasted flawless quality, allowing Chen Mobai to absorb its potency with minimal resistance. He fully surrendered to the delightful sensation of his cultivation rising steadily.

Without realizing it, another two years slipped away.

On this particular day, Chen Mobai emerged from his secluded cultivation, having fully processed all six pills.

Once he verified that every trace of the medicinal essence had faded from his body, he withdrew the enveloping fire spiritual power.

The Crown of Heaven and Earth materialized, letting him inspect his Pure Yang Scroll progress.

The advancement bar for Middle Stage Deity Transformation now stood at 36%.

Recall that a decade prior, he had just achieved breakthrough atop the steps of Purple Cloud Palace, then plunged into tasks like purging Ming Wang Star, probing portals, fusing Spirit Veins, leaving scarce moments for personal cultivation.

Thus, this 36% gain stemmed mostly from those six Ascension Dragon Gall Pills.

The first three pills delivered the biggest boosts, around 7% apiece, with the fourth yielding 6%.

The fifth and sixth, hampered by diminishing quality and growing resistance, managed only 5% and 4% respectively.

Chen Mobai figured that after the next set of refined Ascension Dragon Gall Pills, resistance would render them ineffective for further cultivation gains.

Evidently, the path forward demanded drawing the Heavenly Deception Talisman.

With that in mind, Chen Mobai drew upon the portal-derived knowledge. Through mastery of the Law of the Five Tones, he had grasped this talisman up to Fifth Rank proficiency, needing just Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink.

Talisman Paper posed no issue, as any Fifth Rank variety would do.

The Immortal Gate stocked plenty, and his Storage Bag held ample supplies from Sun God Tree leaves or even Flood Dragon Skin. The real challenge was the Talisman Ink, requiring fresh preparation.

Fortuitously, apart from a handful of key Fifth Rank minerals, everything else was procurable at the Immortal Gate. For the missing two, Chen Mobai sourced them from the former Dan Phoenix Herb Shop.

As soon as Xu Sijiu supplied the goods, Chen Mobai handed the task to Yu Yi.

As a Fifth Rank Talisman Maker from the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai relied on Yu Yi's skills and even enlisted Yuan Xu's help when possible.

Crafting high-rank Talisman Ink demanded far more effort than pills, so years dragged on with Yu Yi still blending it. Yet she kept Chen Mobai updated on every breakthrough.

After two years in seclusion, Chen Mobai glanced at his phone and spotted Yu Yi's pending messages.

They brought welcome tidings: the Talisman Ink was successfully forged, though it awaited the vital air-drying phase. Per the Heavenly Deception Talisman lore, that would require no less than twenty years.

Such a duration meant little to fellow Deity Transformation True Monarchs, yet it struck Chen Mobai as overly drawn out.

After all, his time in Deity Transformation barely exceeded thirty years.

Regrettably, buying pre-made Talisman Ink lay beyond his means, forcing him to produce it personally.

Exiting seclusion without alerting Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai teleported straight to Heavenly Book Academy.

"Greetings, True Monarch..."

Spotting Chen Mobai's arrival in person, Yu Yi bowed deeply in respect before guiding him to the Heavenly Book Academy’s air-drying storage for the Talisman Ink.

"Is there any way to speed up this air-drying process?"

Chen Mobai inquired. Though skilled in talismans during his novice cultivation years, he had since prioritized battle arts, lacking Yu Yi's depth in this craft.

"Yes, mainly the environment. We can set up formations to accelerate it, or..."

Discussing her specialty, Yu Yi spoke with assurance to Chen Mobai, detailing countless approaches.

Having heard her out, Chen Mobai pinpointed the essence.

"If it’s about the environment, then it’s manageable. I can create the ideal environment for rapid air-drying within my Law Domain."

With those words, Chen Mobai flicked his sleeve, drawing Yu Yi and a hefty slab of Talisman Ink into his Law Domain.

Guided by Yu Yi, Chen Mobai marked off a section of land at the Law Domain's border, tirelessly fine-tuning its conditions to allow the Talisman Ink to dry swiftly in the air.

Yu Yi calculated that this approach would slash at least half the required time.

"You've toiled hard here; now pour your efforts into cultivation to advance your realm. Once the Shock God Condensing Spirit Pill gets refined, should you reach Nascent Soul Ninth Layer, I'll put you forward for one pill."

After heading back to the Heavenly Book Academy from the Law Domain, Chen Mobai conveyed his commitment to Yu Yi as well.

This was mainly due to the fact that, among the Weapon Dancing Sect's Nascent Soul Cultivators, Yu Yi alone stood nearest to Deity Transformation, having hit the pinnacle of Nascent Soul Eighth Layer. Without the years spent aiding Chen Mobai with his Talisman Ink, she could have advanced much sooner.

Chen Mobai always made sure to honor the achievements of those loyal to him.

"Thank you, True Monarch!"

Excitement lit up Yu Yi's face upon hearing those words.

She considered herself incredibly lucky to have secured the finest backer in the Immortal Gate following years of stalled progress.

"Take this material on the Heavenly Deception Talisman. Study it deeply in your spare moments. Once the Talisman Ink fully dries, you might have to handle drawing it up."

After pondering, Chen Mobai realized his cultivation schedule was packed, so with Yu Yi's expertise in talismans, he saw no need to spend extra time himself.

Yu Yi eagerly bobbed her head, promising to prioritize its study above all else.

While at the Heavenly Book Academy, Chen Mobai seized the chance to revisit the Seven Great Heavenly Books.

Previously, delving into the Tian Shu, he saw them as vast and deep, tough to unravel. Yet now, post-Law Domain formation, their boundless enigmas and vast scope struck him even more profoundly.

The Five Ancestors of Xianmen had bought only the Seven Great Heavenly Books upon arriving at the Earth Element Star, evidently aiming to grasp or forge a Law Domain through them.

Forming a Law Domain let one retreat inside it amid cosmic apocalypse, harnessing Cultivating Void's deep secrets to endure serenely at the Universe's brink.

Alas, across millennia, Chen Mobai remained the sole Immortal Gate cultivator to accomplish this feat.

Through Chen Mobai's gaze, the Great Tao imprints within the Universe, Purple Green, Phoenix Seal, Dao Law, Taiyuan, Life and Death, and Mahayana Seven Great Heavenly Books slowly unveiled their essence, manifesting diverse intricate Great Tao imprints.

It appeared that countless elaborate Great Taos intertwined around a single core Great Tao thread, brimming with endless wonders.

In these seven Great Tao imprints, Chen Mobai glimpsed the unfolding of every conceivable path.

As moments passed, realization dawned on Chen Mobai's face, grasping at last the genuine purpose of the Seven Great Heavenly Books.

He unleashed his Law Domain, drawing all Seven Great Heavenly Books inside, where they morphed into a towering light pillar linking heaven and earth. Bursting with dazzling glow, they shattered into multicolored Great Tao light filaments that merged into his barren void Law Domain, slowly shaping it into a genuine world's visage.

The truth emerged: solely by fusing the Seven Great Heavenly Books' Great Tao imprints into the Law Domain could one finalize the Central Dojo's secret art of creation, dubbed "Genesis."

This technique bears the name "Receiving the Talisman."

Absent "Receiving the Talisman," a Law Domain aspiring to birth the Three Thousand Great Dao must grasp each one individually before imprinting them within.

The prime instance of mastering the Three Thousand Great Dao was none other than the Demon Lord.

Yet "Receiving the Talisman" skips this grueling path, as the Seven Great Heavenly Books' Great Tao imprints—etched by the Central Dojo's supreme power—hold the Universe's primal Great Dao, spawning infinite variations to birth the Three Thousand Great Dao.

Still, succeeding at "Receiving the Talisman" marks one as the Mystic Sect's direct heir to the Central Dojo.

Chen Mobai, though, cared little for such labels.

In truth, seated in Purple Cloud Palace's front row, he shared classmates with the Central Dojo's Pure Yang Dao Ancestors, holding ancestral seniority there from the start.
