The All-divisions Hall was slightly quiet, and then a respectful voice was heard: 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
The crowd was slightly surprised as they looked towards Wang Ba.
No one had expected the acting sect master to hold Wang Ba in such high esteem.
Soon enough, several voices also came from the direction of Taihe Palace.
After which, two objects flew over and landed within the All-divisions Hall.
Noticing the aura on these objects, many Nascent Soul cultivators from the Diwu Hall couldn’t help but show a hint of envy as they looked towards the All-divisions Hall.
The Chief Division Master had clearly caught the eye of the Sect’s Immortal Ascension cultivators.
Although it’s difficult for All-Law Pulse cultivators to breakthrough realms, with the high-level sect members’ care, the likelihood of breakthroughs undoubtedly increases significantly.
Just like the Chief Division Master’s master, Yao Wudi—if the high levels of the sect hadn’t intentionally allocated resources to him, he might not have achieved Immortal Ascension.
"Qi Rulian, Qian Chun, Zhou Tianqi... you three are to enter the Gold, Earth, Water divisions," Master Xi said.
Afterwards, unlike with Wang Ba, the Ritual Cultivators handed over the seals to them individually.
The three didn’t dare to be negligent, and after receiving them, they immediately transformed into streaks of light and entered the divisions of the Five Elements Mountain.
With this, the ceremony of reinstating the Five Elements Division was brought to a conclusion...
...
Wang Ba sat on the chair, looking around the somewhat empty All-divisions Hall, feeling a bit sentimental.
This place would be where he’d handle the miscellaneous affairs of the Five Elements Division from now on.
Although he had dutiful posts at the Spirit Food Department and the Beast Department before, he rarely lingered there.
The regulations there were far less strict than those here.
He then looked towards the jade seal in his hand.
The seal was engraved with birds, beasts, fish, insects, plants, flowers, and stones.
After its glow subdued, it didn’t look very remarkable.
But Wang Ba didn’t dare underestimate it, for it was in fact a Fourth-Order Top Grade magical treasure.
"Chief Division Dharma Seal."
Wang Ba gently flipped the jade seal, and on the bottom, four big characters were engraved.
As the Chief Division Master, his status might not be equal to that of a Vice Hall Master, but it was comparable to the rank of a Mountain Lord of four mountains.
With such status, the sect would generally bestow protective treasures to uphold one’s dignity.
And this Chief Division Dharma Seal was the treasure protecting Wang Ba’s path as Chief Division Master.
However, unlike the average Fourth-Grade magical treasure, the True Spirit inside the Chief Division Dharma Seal didn’t have much Spiritual Wisdom—it would only cooperate with the Chief Division Master with all its might.
This also made it convenient for the successor to quickly refine it.
Of course, this seal had its restrictions, such as it could only be used within the sect.
If one wanted to take it outside, they would need the permission of the Hall Master.
In strict terms, it is more of a tool for deterring the cultivators below.
After fondling it for a moment, he then put it away.
He then turned his attention to a few items floating in front of him.
A wordless jade stele, a porcelain bottle, a palm-leaf fan, and a storage bag.
The wordless jade stele was given by acting sect master Xun FuJun, the porcelain bottle was bestowed by Immortal Ascension Elder Du Wei.
The palm-leaf fan and the storage bag were gifts from Hall Master Fei and Master Xi, respectively.
"Jade stele..."
Wang Ba pondered for a moment before picking it up.
His Spiritual Sense immersed into it.
Then his face showed a trace of surprise:
"’Great Supreme Heart Refining Technique’?"
"The cultivation method from Lianqing Peak?"
Wang Ba was somewhat astonished.
He had previously inquired with his master, Yao Wudi, who said that although the core of Lianqing Peak’s cultivation method was also the Soul, the Dharma they cultivated was different from many other Soul cultivation methods—it used the emotions of living beings as spirit materials for cultivation.
It wasn’t just the emotions of others; even the cultivator’s own emotions served the same purpose.
The larger the fluctuations in emotions, the stronger the cultivation effect after refining them.
And as the cultivator refines more of their own emotions, their emotions outside of their obsessions become increasingly indifferent.
This is considered a minor flaw of this cultivation method.
So much so that within the sect, the inheritance of Lianqing Peak is quite controversial.
Wang Ba didn’t understand why the acting sect master would give him this cultivation method, but he wasn’t keen on practicing it.
If a person lacks emotions and only retains obsessions, what is the point of having the power to overturn the heavens and attain immortality?
Of course, although he had no wish to learn this cultivation method, there was no harm in merely understanding it and extracting the essence of it.
He was just about to store the wordless jade stele in the Storage Treasure when he discovered it couldn’t be put inside.
After a moment of hesitation, he then activated his mana.
Unexpectedly, with just a faint effort of refining, he smoothly gained control of the wordless jade stele.
"It actually serves as a natural defense against Soul Attacks."
Wang Ba was somewhat astonished.
The stele directly turned into vapor and entered his Spiritual Government, standing opposite the Yin Temple.
After feeling it for a while but finding no anomalies, Wang Ba was finally able to relax a bit.
Then he directed his attention to the porcelain bottle given by Elder Du Wei.
Wang Ba gently removed the cork, only to be startled, his face showing surprise:
"Is this, Class V Spirit Beast blood?"
"And it’s processed, such pure Spiritual Energy! Such rich essence and blood!"
"If it’s refined..."
He quickly put the cork back on, unable to conceal his excitement.
Refining spirit food from a Spirit Beast aimed to extract the Spiritual Energy and Qi and Blood.
And the Class V Spirit Beast blood contained in this bottle made him feel so invigorated that he thought he could surpass countless pieces of Class III spirit food if he refined it.
"It’s about time to focus on Cultivation and increase my Cultivation Base," Wang Ba thought to himself.
To have reached the early-stage of Golden Core before the age of one hundred was not slow for a Myriad Laws Pulse cultivator.
But compared to the tumultuous times that were approaching, it was far too insignificant.
However, such things couldn’t be hastened just because one wished it.
