Chapter 352: Chapter 278: Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method_2

“You’ve practiced the Art of Spiritual Eyes well.”

“Thank you for your compliment, Teacher Duanmu. This is the shape that I see, could you perhaps point out which are the Rank-3 Magic Artifacts?”

Chen Mobai felt that Duanmu Longrong and Che Yucheng had a good relationship, so he started familiarizing himself, describing the shapes he saw in the four Device Nurturing Spheres using his Void Spirit Eye.

“The round one should be the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror; the blurry one is probably a Rank-3 Red Misty Cloud Silk refined by someone, although it doesn’t rule out the possibility of it being a higher grade artifact that you can’t see clearly; the bell-shaped one should be the Departure Fire Bell; as for the elongated one, it could either be a flying sword, a ruler, or a Flying Needle.”

Duanmu Longrong didn’t put Chen Mobai in a difficult position and told him everything she knew.

Among them, the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and the Departure Fire Bell are Rank-3 magic artifacts recorded in the Map of Treasures, Chen Mobai could easily get the mantra for their cultivation.

Chen Mobai also found himself drawn to the Rank-3 Red Misty Cloud Silk, after all, when cultivated to the highest realm, it could allow the cultivator to freely roam amongst the stars in the universe.

However, considering that he had already received Rank-2 Red Misty Cloud Silk from True Yang Sage, he temporarily excluded this option.

As for the higher-grade artifact mentioned by Duanmu Longrong, Chen Mobai did not even consider it.

He was always cautious in his approach. The Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and the Departure Fire Bell were both very suitable for him, especially the former, which could be used to cultivate the “Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method”. There was no need to take risks for an extremely slight possibility.

As for the last elongated artifact, since even Duanmu Longrong was not sure, Chen Mobai was definitely not going to choose it.

“I’ll go with the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.”

After contemplating for a long time, Chen Mobai chose the first Device Nurturing Sphere.

The previous owner of this artifact was also a Pure Yang Scroll cultivator, but unfortunately debido to the constraints of the Pure Yang Daoist Body, he was stuck at the sixth level of Gold Core.

However, he was also an outstanding Artifact Refiner. According to the record in the Map of Treasures, this mirror had a maximum grade of intermediate grade Rank-3. After the Pure Yang Scroll cultivator’s death, he had basically invested all his lifelong essence into the artifact, making this piece a suitable choice for him.

Seeing his choice, Duanmu Longrong didn’t argue but directly put away the remaining three Device Nurturing Spheres.

Chen Mobai activated the Device Piece in his hand. Fire Godlight of the fire element emerged from the infinite magma outside the island, as if a fire dragon had been summoned.

“So the source of the Fire Godlight is here.”

Just as Chen Mobai saw the Fire Godlight break through the magma, it appeared to enter a dark artifact. He only had a glimpse and did not know what shape it was, let alone its grade.

He wisely didn’t look further, lowering his gaze to the Device Nurturing Sphere in his hand, which was activated by the Fire Godlight. After the shell and the Spiritual Liquid turned into ash and disappeared, an ancient bronze mirror was revealed.

The mirror was flawlessly smooth, reflecting Chen Mobai’s figure like a placid lake.

However, it was strange that it not only displayed the skin, but also the internal bones and meridians of the body appeared one by one on the mirror. Even his skull, which had been refined with the glowing Tree Juice, was reflected.

“This mirror was refined in imitation of the Soulful Mirror and probably has about one percent of the Soulful Mirror’s power.”

Duanmu Longrong said a sentence that moved Chen Mobai.

The Soulful Mirror was a Rank-4 artifact and the co-cultivating object of Cheng Xuan, the head of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. The latter relied on it to cultivate “The Union of Differences” and even achieved “Nascent Soul Formation”.

Although it was a simplified version, Chen Mobai was already very satisfied.

He was currently the Student Council President and could use the Map of Treasures at will. Therefore, he directly checked the mantra for cultivating the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and refined this Rank-3 artifact into his Dantian in front of Duanmu Longrong.

Magic Artifacts of Rank-3 and above could serve as a cultivator’s lifebound artifact.

However, many cultivators do not initially decide on their lifebound artifact, because the spiritual energy provided by the Daoist Academy is limited. They barely have enough for their own cultivation, let alone extra spiritual energy to cultivate and enhance the power of the artifact.

The Dance Tool Dao Academy’s “The Union of Differences” is a reversal of this approach.

It utilizes the artifact’s surpassing grade to drive the cultivator’s enhancement, realizing the true meaning in the artifact, constantly breaking the mirrors, and participating in Heavenly Creation.

The academy has a “Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method” derived from “The Union of Differences”.

It is the unparalleled method to upgrade a cultivator’s realm.

For example, if Chen Mobai refines a Rank-3 artifact as his lifebound artifact, during cultivation he will draw on the power of the artifact to elevate himself until his realm is on par with the artifact, at which point the “Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method” is considered to be successful.

The next step is that if a cultivator wants to advance, he must promote the artifact and himself together to break the mirror.

Moreover, when cultivating the “Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method”, one can only select a magic artifact that exceeds their own realm by one rank. If the rank is surpassed, the individual would explode and instantly die upon the artifact entering their body, without exception.

Many Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, when they estimate that their lifespan would not permit them to advance to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, would risk practicing the “Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method”, utilizing the power of high-grade artifacts, forcefully breaking the mirror, and attempting Core Formation.

In contrast, the “Union of Differences” is different.

Not only does it possess all the advantages of the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method, but one can also refine Rank-4 or even Rank-5 artifacts across realms, and can sever this co-cultivation connection at any time.

Lets say, for instance, one day Zhongli Tianyu feels that his ancestors’ Bagua Mirror does not meet his preferences, he can discard this mirror and swap it for something else to join him.

The condition could be explained with a simple example.

Practicing the “Union of Differences” is like a playboy, while practicing the “Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method” is like the embodiment of loyalty and commitment.

Chen Mobai felt that he was very suitable for practicing the “Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method”.

When he first started school, Ming Yuhua mentioned this. After he checked it out, he kept it in mind ever since.

However, due to the lack of a suitable Rank-3 magic artifact, he had put it aside.

Because the requirements for the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method are too restrictive, and once a life magic artifact is chosen, it cannot be changed, and it is the only chance in one’s life. Therefore, many people are extremely careful.

There are even some Foundation Establishment True Cultivators who think about relying on their own talents to form the core, and then find a Rank-4 magic artifact to practice the “Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method”, to reach the threshold of Nascent Soul Formation.

Chen Mobai is not one of these ambitious people; he has a clear understanding of himself.

As long as he advances a step faster, he can gain more resources in the Tianhe Realm.

After all, in that world, it is strength that commands respect.

If he could form the core, perhaps he could implement new policies within the Divine Wood Sect, making all Foundation Establishment cultivators go to the Divine Tree Secret Realm to seize opportunities, such resources and secret techniques obtained could elevate the Divine Wood Sect to a higher level.

Unfortunately, he is only at the Foundation Establishment stage right now.

After leaving the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai went to Building One to thank Che Yucheng. Without him, Chen wouldn’t have had the opportunity to get the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror that perfectly matched his Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method so soon.

“You can watch the ups and downs of the Little Red Sky in the next few days and wait for the right opportunity to break the winning streak of Yuan Yang’s ancestor.”

Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s choice, Che Yucheng gave an approving look.

In this way, at least he can try to advance to Foundation Establishment using ‘Pure Yang Scroll’ with the help of the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method.

After Chen Mobai left Building One, he went to Building Nine and obtained a Cultivation Room.

He had stalled in the Pure Yang Scroll for over a year. If it wasn’t to advance to Foundation Establishment via Enlightenment, he would have already impatiently used the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures to break through.

Hopefully, with the pure Yang Truth in the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and the help of the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method, he can enter the realm of legend.

Inside the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Palace, the green jade phoenix tree which had taken form using his divine sense, dropped a flower and fruit from the top of a branch. It transformed into a ray of light, and entered the ancient bronze mirror in his Dantian’s Qi Sea.

In an instant, Chen Mobai felt as if he were entering a world of flames.

The six True Fires conveying different Dao rhymes seemed like six spirit snakes coiling around his divine sense. In just a blink of an eye, he felt a sharp pain in his divine sense, as if his entire being were being burned and gradually turning into ashes.

Is this what my opponents, whom I killed with one stroke, felt?

At this moment, Chen Mobai was contemplating this question.

However, his powerful divine sense eventually got the upper hand. Although the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror was a Rank-3 artifact, with no one controlling it, he was able to subdue it after surviving the initial wave.

At the same time, Chen Mobai also introduced his Pure Yang spiritual power from the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.

Yet, it was devoured by the Six Yang Divine Fire in an instant.

According to the theory, Pure Yang Scroll cultivators at the level of Qi Cultivation cannot refine Rank-3 artifacts for the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method.

But he was different.
