I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2790 - 1293: Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern, Sixth Rank (Make-up Update)

"These are ten Impermanence Talismans. Fellow Daoist, if you want to know any information in the future, you can contact us at any time. If you don’t use them yourself, you can also give them to your disciples. Any Rank-5 and above intelligence deals, our Impermanence Pavilion will take on."

Seeing that Chen Mobai didn’t buy the Heavenly Sovereign’s remaining six dossiers, Dong Tai didn’t continue to push them. He drew out a stack of Talismans from his wide sleeve, put them on the small table, and spoke.

"Many thanks, Prefect."

Chen Mobai rose to see Dong Tai off. The latter waved his hand repeatedly, then drew with his ceremonial tablet, and a Void Gate exuding Yin qi appeared before them.

After Dong Tai stepped in and vanished, Black and White Impermanence also took their leave from Chen Mobai.

"There are some not-so-important pieces of information; I want to ask about the price." Chen Mobai called them back.

"Please speak, Senior." Black and White Impermanence, whose figures were about to dissipate, immediately halted and nodded respectfully.

Then, Chen Mobai asked about Jade Shatter True Monarch, Yi Yuan True Monarch, the Longevity Sect, and the like.

"Anything related to Ascended Monks requires the Prefect to come forward before the corresponding dossiers can be unlocked. For Jade Shatter True Monarch, ordinary Sixth Rank knowledge is sufficient. As for Yi Yuan True Monarch, he is the Cultivating Void cultivator closest to Harmonization, so the price is slightly higher."

"As for the dossiers related to the Longevity Sect, there are altogether one hundred and seventy-six volumes. Ordinary Rank-5 intelligence is enough to unlock one volume; these we can decide on our own. But the last twelve volumes require Sixth Rank knowledge; you’ll need to look for the Prefect."

"Among these, anything about the Heavenly Sovereign involving the Longevity Sect has been mostly deleted and placed into the Heavenly Sovereign’s own dossiers."

To keep Chen Mobai from getting all excited about buying Longevity Sect dossiers only to find they didn’t contain what he wanted and get angry, Black and White Impermanence gave advance warning.

These prices were not high for Chen Mobai.

After all, he had already figured out how knowledge was classified.

The only issue was which knowledge he could sell to the Longevity Sect and which he could not. That required careful consideration.

So after asking about the prices, Chen Mobai just nodded and waved his hand, indicating that Black and White Impermanence could withdraw.

"Senior, we shall meet again if fate allows." The two Ghost Cultivators also took their leave very politely.

The forms they manifested here were Spiritual Bodies, so disappearing was simple: they directly collapsed into two wisps of black smoke and merged into the earth.

Chen Mobai stood atop the desolate mountain for a while, recalling the contents of the Heavenly Sovereign dossiers. Only when the Tai Yang set did he wave his hand to erase the traces of the Impermanence Pavilion here, and returned to Huozhen Immortal City, worried and preoccupied.

Originally, for him, the reconstitution of the Disk of Life and Death was something he watched from the standpoint of an onlooker; whether it succeeded or not was of no consequence.

But now that he knew the truth, it seemed he might not be able to stay out of it.

In the eyes of anyone with discernment, he ought to help, even if the chance of the Heavenly Sovereign waking and returning was not very high.

If he’d known, he wouldn’t have read those dossiers.

But things had come to this point; he could only let nature take its course.

After all, no one knew what the situation would be like after Life and Death and Reincarnation were recombined.

Thinking this, Chen Mobai’s state of mind returned to calm, and he began to push the Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern, which had been stuck at Fifth Rank Peak for a long time, toward advancement.

No matter what, strengthening himself and the Sect was certainly the right path.

He took out three boxes from the Storage Bag Zhang Pankong had given him; inside were Sixth Rank Purple Fire Gold Copper, Blazing Heaven Crystal, and Nine Yang True Fire Stone respectively.

With these materials, plus the Sixth Rank Lamp Wick he had long ago condensed using the heartwood of the Sun God Tree, all the materials for the Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern’s advancement were complete.

Compared to Sixth Rank Magic Artifacts like the Primordial Yang Sword, Purple Electric Sword, Primordial Clock, and Haotian Mirror, this lantern was something Chen Mobai had refined with his own hands from start to finish. Although it was of little use to him now, his feelings toward it were different.

In Chen Mobai’s view, only by raising this lantern to the Sixth Rank level could he be considered to have firmly set foot in the Realm of Sixth Rank Artifact Refiner.

Because this Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern was to serve as the Xiao Nanshan lineage’s token of inheritance in the future, this time when he refined it, Chen Mobai called Zhuo Ming over to assist.

Under Chen Mobai’s influence, Zhuo Ming had made some achievements in Artifact Refining Technique as well. With the foundation of having refined the All-things Meritorious Deed Cauldron, in theory she already counted as a Fifth Rank Artifact Refiner.

Chen Mobai chose the time of day when Yang Qi was the strongest to begin the elevation. He sat cross-legged at the fire vent where Earth-Core True Fire surged upward, and sacrificed the Magic Artifact in his hand: a long-handled, round lantern, its whole body violet-gold, with a lampshade like blooming crystal petals.

Through the lampshade, one could see the wisp of Purple Green Flames burning unceasingly on the Lamp Wick in the center, flickering and full of Spirituality.

This was the Flame Spirit, and also the Artifact Spirit.

Chen Mobai stilled his Heart and Mind. Even without "The Union of Differences," he could easily attain joint participation with the Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern, but with this Cultivation Technique, he could elevate it without making major alterations to the Magic Artifact.

As time passed, the lantern’s Flame Spirit burned more and more fiercely. This was because, with Chen Mobai’s Power of the Great Dao pouring into it, it began drawing on the three pieces of Sixth Rank Materials suspended around it, replacing the Low Rank materials within the Magic Artifact.

Gradually, the Spirit of Douluo grew brighter with an unprecedented dazzling radiance. After passing through the lampshade, it shot straight into the sky, its brilliant light tearing through the night and making Huozhen Immortal City bright as day.

And this scene naturally alarmed many Artifact Refiners within the Immortal City.

From this gentle, lively luster, they sensed an unprecedented Magic Artifact spirituality.

One must know, previously Chen Mobai had also refined Fifth Rank Artifacts here in Huozhen Immortal City, but compared to the light of the lantern this time, they were far inferior.

Could it be Sixth Rank!?

Realizing this, these Artifact Refiners could no longer hold themselves back and directly rushed to the surroundings of Chen Mobai’s Artifact Refining Room.

Although this place was isolated by tall walls and guarded by a Large Formation, the closer they got, the more they could feel the ever more lively spirituality that was growing with every breath; perhaps they could even glean from it a method to cultivate an Artifact Spirit.

The phenomenon of the Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern lasted a full eight years.

It was only at this time that Chen Mobai finally understood how difficult it was to refine a brand-new Sixth Rank Artifact.

Before, whether it was the Primordial Yang Sword or the Purple Electric Sword, it had been a matter of luck. Their own spirituality had already been quite good, only a final step away, so after being entrusted with the relevant Power of the Great Dao, they quickly broke through.

But the spirituality of the Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern was something he had nurtured from nothing during the refining process, fusing it with Stat Fire. Even compared to the Haotian Mirror, which had the shallowest foundation, it was still somewhat inferior.

The Haotian Mirror was able to be elevated successfully mainly because of the Heavenly Phoenix Mirror Fragment left behind by Dan Ding Taoist; its raw material was Seventh Rank. Even so, it still took twenty years of effort.

This time, Chen Mobai devoted himself completely to comprehending alongside the Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern, bringing out every bit of his Artifact Refining skill, and only then was he able, within eight years, to elevate it successfully.

After all the Sixth Rank Materials were fused, the Flame Spirit shone through the lampshade, sending out tangible light patterns that spread across the lamp bowl and lamp base.

At this moment, the lamp light was incomparably bright, like a brilliant star descending above Huozhen Immortal City.

Many Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Five Elements Sect were in the surroundings—for example, Yan Huo of the Yi Yuan Dao Palace. He already had a residence here and, after collecting the Fifth Rank Materials he needed, had remained at the door of the Artifact Refining Room all this time, so that Chen Mobai could refine for him at the first free moment.

Upon sensing that Chen Mobai was refining a Sixth Rank Artifact, he felt this was an opportunity not to be missed, and for eight years he had not taken a single step away.

Now, at last, the clouds parted and the moon was seen.

Only to see that upon the stellar body formed by the lantern light in the sky, eight faint, indistinct scenes emerged. Looking carefully, one could see they were precisely the revolving of the four seasons and the cycle of the solar terms.

Some showed the riotous bloom of spring flowers, some the rolling thunder of summer, some the high autumn skies and crisp air, some the vast whiteness of winter snow, and still others such heavenly timings as morning mist and Frostfall, and rainbows after the rain.

Each scene intertwined with the others, together composing a miniature yet complete world of grand phenomena.

When all eight scenes of the Douluo Eight Sceneries had fully evolved, Chen Mobai on the ground opened his eyes, raised his right hand, and grasped the Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern that had been hanging before him.

With the infusion of the Power of the Great Dao, the Eight Sceneries revolved, yet the light began to retract back into the lampshade, and very quickly the radiance that had made the entire Huozhen Immortal City as bright as day vanished completely.

But at that instant, every Artifact Refiner felt a surge of unprecedented spirituality erupt forth, brimming with vitality.

Rumble!

At that moment, the sky suddenly resounded with peals of muffled thunder.

"It’s actually a Heavenly Tribulation for a Magic Artifact!"

Seeing black clouds roil, with thunder and Sky Fire descending together, the many Artifact Refiners could not help but be greatly shocked.

When living beings break through their limits and reach a higher Realm, they will trigger a Heavenly Tribulation, and Artifact Spirits likewise have this possibility.

Yet in the Tianhe Realm, Magic Artifacts capable of triggering Heavenly Tribulation could be counted on one hand. The last time such a situation appeared was when Yi Yuan True Monarch and White Lotus Layman jointly refined the Primordial Clock.

In other words, Ancestor Chen had refined a Sixth Rank Artifact that could rival the Primordial Clock!

Realizing this, all the Artifact Refiners in Huozhen Immortal City widened their eyes, eager to behold the scene of the Magic Artifact undergoing tribulation.

Whether or not it could pass, this matter was destined to become a legend that Artifact Refiners would speak of with relish for the next thousand years.

In the sky, Thunder and Sky Fire emanated a strange, frosty, yin chill. This signified that the Artifact undergoing tribulation was of the Fire Attribute.

As a terrifying cold current capable of freezing even Nascent Soul Cultivators descended, Chen Mobai, who sensed this, cast the Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern in his hand up toward the heavens.

In an instant, the already-Sixth-Rank Purple Green Divine Flame flared with a gentle radiance and shot into the tribulation clouds.

Under gazes of utter disbelief, the Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern, like a great whale swallowing water, devoured all the dark clouds and the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation contained within them.

It was as though within the lampshade there existed an Unlimited, boundless space; even a Heavenly Tribulation that, once it fell, could annihilate Huozhen Immortal City, could only make the light patterns upon the lampshade ripple slightly.

Seeing this scene, Chen Mobai could not help but nod, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

This was the Divine Skill of the Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern after reaching Sixth Rank—the "Douluo Heaven" of forming a world unto itself!
