Chapter 1843: Chapter 922: Sword Embryo

Chen Mobai spoke while taking out a three-dimensional map of the Eastern Wilderness, and then he began talking about the planning of the Direct and Inverse Nine Palaces Formation.

This is the core of the Earth Network Great Formation on the Eastern Wilderness Plateau, and it is also the key for upgrading Northern Abyss City to a Fifth Rank Spirit Vein in the future.

Nine Immortal Cities and nine Spiritual Pivots are needed.

The head and tail are Northern Abyss City and Wanhua Immortal City.

The other seven Immortal Cities, Chen Mobai only planned them roughly at that time, feeling the conditions were not mature, so he did not bring them out. Now is the time.

Although the number of Array Masters is still insufficient, the Immortal Cities can be constructed first.

“Yes, Sect Leader!”

E Yun and Song Huangdae, after listening, were also attracted by Chen Mobai’s grand plan, and took the planning map of the Nine Palaces Immortal City on the Eastern Wilderness Plateau and went down to make arrangements.

“Master, Junior Brother Jiang is quite familiar among the mundane. Should we call him over?”

Luo Yixuan asked, and Chen Mobai thought about it and agreed. Although E Yun was well-versed in the Immortal Cultivation World of the Eastern Wilderness, he was definitely not as knowledgeable about the mundane as Jiang Zongheng was.

“Greetings, Master!”

Half a day later, Jiang Zongheng, having received the notification, also came over. He had spent most of these years in the Northern Abyss City Library, reading various books, and assisting Chen Mobai with the preliminary preparation of codifying the law, while spending a small amount of time observing the Seed of Dao Law planted over at the Great Zhao Dynasty.

Jiang Zongheng was also very happy to hear about Liu Wenbo’s success in Core Formation.

After Chen Mobai spoke to him about establishing schools among the mundane to eradicate illiteracy, he was very supportive and then reported on the work of codifying the law.

“You’ve worked hard.” Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction towards Jiang Zongheng. The codification he intended to compile was a systematic guideline, from top to bottom, on how a major power could develop and thrive, basically equivalent to the laws of the Immortal Gate.

And these are also the key to the robust growth of the Seed of Dao Law here.

However, local adaptations would certainly have to be made, so Jiang Zongheng was the most suitable person for this task.

“By the way, I’ve recently had some success with Artifact Refining Technique, and I also happen to have some good materials on hand. I plan to upgrade your Lifespan Artifacts, or refine another one. Do you have any ideas?”

Chen Mobai asked his two disciples beside him. Luo Yixuan’s eyes lit up. Although she had the most Magic Artifacts among the four disciples, these were personally refined by her master.

“Master, just refine as you see fit, I like them all.”

Hearing Luo Yixuan’s words, Chen Mobai’s face turned stern. Previously, Qing Nu had no requirements for the Taiyuan Blue Pearl and that had delayed him for more than ten years before he successfully refined the satisfactory Sea-settling Pearl.

This time, he did not intend to rack his brain at all.

“Think carefully. If you don’t have a clear goal for your Magic Artifact, how will you improve swiftly in the future!”

After reprimanding Luo Yixuan, Jiang Zongheng had already made up his mind. He took out his Lifespan Artifact, the Tao Walker’s Ruler, along with a horn that was refined from the Ox Horn of a Ruin Monster by Chen Mobai back then, indicating that it was enough to upgrade these two Magic Artifacts.

“This Tao Walker’s Ruler was originally made from the finest section of Rank-3 Pure Bamboo, which belongs to the Wood element. I happen to have some Rank-5 Mysterious Nether Cold Iron, which belongs to the Metal-Water elements. I can use Artifact Refining Technique to refine it into the Tao Walker’s Ruler, using Metal and Water to enhance Wood, thereby improving the essence of this Magic Artifact.”

“However, since it’s your Lifespan Artifact, you’ll need to refine it using your Spiritual Power, to catalyze the process of Metal and Water enhancing Wood. After the artifact ascends, it will then function smoothly.”

“As for the horn, I, as your master, will later affix a ring of black scales from the Rank-5 Poisonous Dragon. I will inscribe a defensive formation akin to the Green Scale Arm Guard on it. In the future, it can also be used as a Defensive Magic Weapon.”

After explaining his upgrading plan, Jiang Zongheng expressed no objections.

Given Chen Mobai’s current Artifact Refining skill, upgrading two Rank-3 Magic Artifacts was practically effortless.

He first utilized the Sea-settling Sword to cut a thumb-length piece of Cold Iron from the chains of the young Yellow Dragon Girl, then melted it using Stat Fire, carefully and evenly coating five sides of the Tao Walker’s Ruler, leaving only the top end as wood, which was where Jiang Zongheng would infuse his Spiritual Power to refine it.

Chen Mobai also inscribed three Grand Spells from the Longevity Sect: Echoes in the Void, One-Leaf Blindness, and Water Droplet Sword!

The first two Grand Spells were attached to the Tao Walker’s Ruler and therefore could only reach Rank-3, but for Jiang Zongheng, they were already more than enough.

The Water Droplet Sword was inscribed on the Mysterious Nether Cold Iron. Although it was Rank-4, if the day came that the Tao Walker’s Ruler completely integrated with the Mysterious Nether Cold Iron, then this Grand Spell would also disappear.

Moreover, due to the mismatched Spiritual Power attributes, if Jiang Zongheng activated the Water Droplet Sword, he would also suffer backlash.

This was Chen Mobai’s last-resort move meant for him. It couldn’t be used unless it was a life-and-death situation.

“Thank you for your consideration, Master.”

Upon receiving his upgraded Magic Artifacts, Jiang Zongheng felt the powerful vibrations and bowed deeply to express his gratitude to Chen Mobai.

“The Tao Walker’s Ruler is your Lifespan Artifact, nurture it well, and in the future, it might give birth to Spirituality. As for the horn, just practice it proficiently; there’s no need to invest too much effort.”

Chen Mobai instructed his young disciple on the new mantra for nurturing the artifact. Although he had good talent, it was impossible for him to have multiple Lifespan Artifacts like Chen Mobai, so he advised him to focus on the Tao Walker’s Ruler.
