"Refining a sixth-tier magic artifact is too exhausting in terms of spirit, energy, and essence. Even if I refine one, it will take a long time to recover, so I currently have no plans to refine one for others."

Chen Mobai remembered what the Taixu Immortal said and understood that the number of sixth-tier magic artifacts needed to be controlled in the Tianhe Realm. Additionally, he wanted to increase the cost of refining such artifacts for others, so he sighed with a troubled expression.

After hearing his words, everyone looked at the Dusk Drum, which floated by him after being refined, speechless.

The process of refining this sixth-tier magic artifact could only be described as easy.

And looking at Chen Mobai, he was full of energy and didn’t seem tired at all.

"If that’s the case, after the Deity Transformation Ceremony, fellow Daoist should rest for a few decades. Perhaps you’ll suddenly realize a higher realm and ascend to the upper realm."

The Taixu Immortal immediately picked up on the topic and continued talking.

Even in the Holy Lands, sixth-tier magic artifacts are extremely precious. Some with shallow backgrounds don’t even have any.

If they become too widespread, these great Holy Lands fear that one day, the Five Continents and Four Seas will be destroyed by sixth-tier magic artifacts.

"Indeed, indeed..."

At this time, the Vast Energy Immortal naturally stood on the same ground as the Taixu Immortal. After the two spoke, the Divinity Transformation cultivators present began to understand.

It seems that the two great Holy Lands of Central State are not very willing for more sixth-tier magic artifacts to appear in the Tianhe Realm.

[It seems this matter needs a private discussion with the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor.]

As long as it is agreed upon in private, once successfully refined, it can be kept within the sect as a foundation, only to be used in the event of an extermination threat, and no one can say anything.

The key is how to persuade Chen Mobai to take action.

Pure Wind True Monarch was already worried about what his Pure Palace could offer that would appeal to him. They in the West Continent were really too poor; even sixth-tier spirit materials were scarce, and their greatest treasured land, Lanyuan Valley, had long been treaded by him.

On the other hand, Ao Yuxia only needed to consider which sixth-tier spirit materials to select from her Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace’s treasury that were suitable for Chen Mobai.

Even offering innate seventh-tier spirit materials as an entry offering was not out of the question.

As the lower realm residence of the Heavenly Emperor, the treasures in the Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace were only comparable to the mysterious Jellyfish Palace from the Heaven and Sea among the entire Five Continents and Four Seas.

"Let me demonstrate the function of the Dusk Drum..."

Chen Mobai heard numerous Divine Transformation cultivators sending him messages to discuss in detail after the Deity Transformation Ceremony, but he didn’t reply to any and pointed to the newly refined magic artifact beside him.

"Very well, fellow Daoist, please!"

The Taixu Immortal nodded continuously upon hearing this.

At this moment, the cultivators on the Eastern Wilderness Plateau were somewhat restless in heart and mind. The Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation was a power that even Divinity Transformation cultivators found serious, let alone them.

If it weren’t for ninety percent of the thunder tribulation being absorbed by the Dusk Drum, plus the protection of the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation on the plateau, many cultivators would have gone into demonic deviation, with spiritual power chaos already.

Even so, many cultivators sat pale-faced on the ground, running their divine senses to calm their fluctuating spiritual power.

In Northern Abyss City immediately below the Floating Dao Platform, Han Zhiling and Zhang Sizhu, who were in charge here, looked at each other awkwardly.

Because the majority of guests, affected by the sound waves of the thunder tribulation, were mentally disturbed. Some with poor mental states couldn’t even hold their wine glasses steady, trembling all over.

Only some disciples from the Holy Lands managed to maintain normal expressions. However, their eyes’ brilliance grew dim, faintly revealing fatigue.

Even Han Zhiling found her divine sense excessively consumed when forced to resist the thunder tribulation’s sound waves with her mind.

Inviting guests to the Deity Transformation Ceremony only to encounter such an incident made her, as the branch meeting’s host, feel quite embarrassed.

While Han Zhiling was transmitting messages to Zhang Sizhu, telling her to go to the Danxia Pavilion and retrieve all the elixirs for recovering divine sense and steadying the mind to distribute to guests as an apology, a clear thunderous rumble resounded from the sky.

When everyone looked terrified, thinking the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation was returning, they were surprised to find that the instant the rumbling drum sound entered their ears, the chaotic and restless spiritual forces within them suddenly began to calm down.

"Dong——!"

"Dong——!"

"Dong——!"

The incessant drumbeats echoed over the Eastern Wilderness Plateau, manifesting into ripple-like waves in the air. Just as layers of dark clouds began to gather, dazzling lightning shot upward, tearing through the darkness.

The clear drumbeats sounded like dragon chants and also like the roars of a giant beast, resonating clearly in the depths of everyone’s hearts, transforming into golden ripples that flowed over their bodies like water.

In the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, chaotic heart and mind began to settle, and divine sense became clear.

The uncontrolled spiritual force flowing backward in the body’s energy pathways was easy to sort and re-align under the divine sense empowered by the drumbeats.

In this moment, all cultivators felt their minds become clearer than ever.

It was like gaining enlightenment.

The cultivation techniques that were once puzzling were now easily understood, skills that were difficult had their obstacles suddenly cleared, and some cultivators even took this opportunity to break through bottlenecks that had troubled them for a long time.

For a while, across the entire Eastern Wilderness Plateau, nature’s spiritual energy began to continuously flow out, as if the earth was emitting misty immortal energy.

This was the phenomenon caused by tens of thousands of cultivators meditating and absorbing spiritual energy at the same time.

Of course, there were naturally some discordant elements among them.
