I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 2740 - 1263: Walking Right into the Trap

After the Haotian Mirror finished refining the Heavenly Phoenix Mirror Fragment, it advanced to the Sixth Rank, yet its potential was still not exhausted.

As Dan Ding Taoist’s Lifespan Artifact, the Heavenly Phoenix Mirror had Innate attributes as its raw material. If it could be completely refined, there would be no problem for the Haotian Mirror to rise to Sixth Rank Superior Grade.

But this step was no longer something Chen Mobai could accomplish.

After all, he was merely a trifling Divinity Transformation Cultivator; being able to produce a Sixth Rank Artifact was already his limit.

The Primordial Clock had been able to advance only because its foundations had already been laid beforehand; he had merely played the role of opening resource channels and supplying the Power of four Great Daos.

Therefore, for the Haotian Mirror to advance again in the future, it would mainly have to rely on refining itself. Under such circumstances, because Chen Mobai’s Cultivation Level was still a bit low, he could use the Array Dao as an aid.

The Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation was at the Sixth Rank; placing the Haotian Mirror into the Spiritual Pivot would allow it to serve as the core for Sacramental Refinement.

This was essentially using the essence of sun and moon and the mountain-and-river Spiritual Energy drawn in by the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation to help the Haotian Mirror hasten its digestion of the Heavenly Phoenix Mirror fragments.

In the Purple Cloud Universe, this was a relatively niche Artifact Refining Method known as ”Array Refining.”

At first, Artifact Refiners would complete their Lifebound Artifact Embryo, then throw it into the core of a star that contained the Dao Rhythm of heaven and earth. In this way, when the artifact took shape, it would fuse with these Dao Rhythms, and might even, at the moment of its birth, attain a portion of Innate Profound Mystery and lay the foundation for the Seventh Rank.

Later, it gradually evolved into: as long as there was a nexus of Spirit Veins, one could insert an Artifact Embryo into it for Sacramental Refinement, saving the Cultivator the time of personal refinement and simply waiting until it matured to retrieve it.

After all, for a Cultivator, the effort and resources required to refine a Lifespan Artifact to a level matching one’s Cultivation Level would not be much less than cultivation itself.

And this Array Refining method could free the Cultivator from that burden.

Even if it failed, at worst one could simply refine another Lifespan Artifact Embryo.

For outstanding Artifact Refiners like Chen Mobai, as long as there were materials, Artifact Embryos could be produced at will.

He could even insert several Artifact Embryos at once for Array Refining, then choose the one that had grown the best when the time came.

The Spirit Vein of Wandering Mountain, although not comparable to the cores of planets that contained Innate Dao Rhythm, could, under the blessing of the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, still support the Haotian Mirror in reaching Sixth Rank Superior Grade without issue.

Moreover, with the Haotian Mirror placed here, it was effectively at home, so Chen Mobai felt at ease. Just so, he could also borrow the Large Formation to let this Magic Artifact illuminate the great thousand worlds, amplifying its evil-dispelling, Heart Demon-repelling Cultivation Technique to cover all territory shrouded by the Formation.

This counted as killing two birds with one stone.

In the time that followed, Chen Mobai sat in command over Wandering Mountain, tuning the fusion of the Haotian Mirror’s light with the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, while directing his Second Primeval Spirit to hunt down the remaining Heart Demon Avatars across the East Continent.

Although he very much wanted to fatten these up before killing them, the East Continent was, after all, his own territory. Even if it meant exposing something, he had to first clean up the internal mess, lest when a real war broke out in the future, the master of the Central Demonic Path wreak havoc upon living beings across the East Continent.

The Second Primeval Spirit disclosed the Heart Demon Avatars in the East Land to the other Three Great Sacred Lands. After all, there were quite a few here, and because he had been slaughtering them in succession, one Avatar after another losing contact, this had already alerted the master of the Central Demonic Path, who began manipulating these Avatars to take action and flee.

Of the five Heart Demon Avatars in the East Land, three were hidden within powers affiliated to the Three Great Sacred Lands. Since within the Sects of the Three Great Sacred Lands Pure Bamboo was planted everywhere, any Disciple who entered would basically not be able to pass the walk through the bamboo grove trial if they were tainted. Therefore, the master of the Central Demonic Path only dared to attach himself to those branch sects, or to insignificant menial Disciples of low Cultivation Level.

The other two were Nascent Soul Ancestors in some of the other Hundred Kingdoms of the East Land.

After Chen Mobai coordinated with the Three Great Sacred Lands, he did not stand on ceremony in the least. He directly rode the Primordial Yang Sword, following the positioning of the Primordial Demon Talisman to catch up, and cut them down with one Sword each, killing them all.

These two Heart Demon Avatars had been painstakingly cultivated by the master of the Central Demonic Path for a long time, and their Cultivation Level was even above that of Du Mengyun.

Once they were slain, in the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion of Chen Mobai’s True Body, who was seated atop Wandering Mountain, the Apocalypse Great Mill lit up two more facets.

Chen Mobai did not care much about these two new Demon Path inheritances, but the emergence of two more torrents of Power of the End caused his accumulation on this Great Dao to already reach half of that on the Saintly Virtue Great Dao.

It had to be known that after his Divinity Transformation, eight-tenths of his painstaking efforts had been poured into the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, yet through the Primordial Demon Talisman, after cutting down just a few Heart Demon Avatars in quick succession, he had easily caught up with a hundred years of arduously cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll.

If this continued, wouldn’t the End of Destiny Great Dao quickly surpass the Saintly Virtue Great Dao and be the first to achieve Perfection of Spirit Transmutation!

After Chen Mobai perceived this, he felt no joy at all; instead, a wave of panic washed over him.

The cultivation speed of this Primordial Demon Path was a bit too fast!

The example of the master of the Central Demonic Path, who had ended up as meat on his chopping board, was right before his eyes. He was now certain that as soon as he achieved anything on the Primordial Demon Path, he would most likely immediately become blood food for the Demon Lord.

Therefore, after clearing out all the Heart Demon Avatars in the East Continent, he decisively recalled his Second Primeval Spirit and stopped the demon-hunting operation.

Even so, the master of the Central Demonic Path had been given quite a fright.

He had only just planned to start from the Five Elements Sect to investigate the whereabouts of the Evil Spirit Disk, and had barely taken the first step, when all the Heart Demon Avatars he had buried across the East Continent for over a hundred years lost contact within a mere half month.
