I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2329 - 1054: Allocation of Nascent Soul Advancement Resources (Part 4)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
The distribution of resources for Deity Transformation has been finalized.
"It is known to you all that we face a formidable adversary in the upcoming expansion war. The enemy will deploy the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon when the moment arrives. Our primary goal is the total destruction of the Ming Wang Star in a single strike. Should we fail, we must hold the line at the portal to ensure they do not set foot upon the Earth Element Star."
Following these brief introductory remarks, Qi Yuheng signaled for Chen Mobai to provide the essential specifics.
"Regarding this expansion war, True Monarch Yuheng and I have resolved to release every resource within the Immortal Gate capable of aiding Deity Transformation. These items will be granted to the individuals with the highest compatibility. Our objective is to cultivate more God-Transcending cultivators for the Immortal Gate in the shortest possible timeframe."
"However, one point must be clarified before we proceed."
"You are aware that the Spiritual Energy of the Immortal Gate is finite and cannot sustain an unlimited number of God-Transcending cultivators. Consequently, anyone who achieves success through this initiative must depart the Earth Element Star with either True Monarch Yuheng or myself once the war is won. This is necessary to vacate space for the next generation of cultivators."
"Should you find this condition unacceptable, you may still utilize the resources of Blooming Moment, but you will be disqualified from receiving the Fruit of Dao’s Rule or the two Divine Natures."
When Chen Mobai finished his explanation, the gathered Nascent Soul cultivators all signaled their consent with a nod.
Observing their expectant gazes, Chen Mobai and Qi Yuheng shared a nod, and the former produced three Deity Transformation resources from his Domain.
"Yunhai, bring me the Heavenly Calculation Bead."
Qi Yuheng spoke to Yunhai Master, who promptly retrieved the Rank-5 Heavenly Calculation Bead—the heart of the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation—and presented it with deep respect.
The bead had been kept safe by Qi Yuheng before being entrusted to Yunhai Master for the restoration of the massive formation.
"This artifact contains the Immortal Technique: Infinity, stored by Ancestor Qian Xing. When I activate it, the Light of Infinity will shield each of you as you make contact with the three resources. Pure Yang and I will then assess the compatibility results."
A collective sigh of relief swept through the room following Qi Yuheng's announcement.
They had been speculating on how the two True Monarchs would distribute such treasures.
None had anticipated the use of an immortal technique bequeathed by Qian Xing.
Within the Immortal Gate, techniques of the fifth rank are designated as Immortal Techniques.
Infinity was a personal creation of Qian Xing, and he alone possessed the power to command it.
* However, the effectiveness of this Immortal Technique was trusted by everyone, and they believed the two True Monarchs would remain impartial and just in the allocation of the Deity Transformation resources.As the critical moment arrived, however, the cultivators remained seated upon their futons, with no one stepping forward to be the first.
"Yuan Xu, you shall begin."
At Chen Mobai's command, a startled Yuan Xu Master nodded, stood up, and moved toward the Fruit of Dao’s Rule.
The Fruit of Dao’s Rule soon began to radiate a soft, subtle light.
By utilizing the Crown of Heaven and Earth, Chen Mobai tapped into the Immortal Technique: Infinity and swiftly calculated a success probability of 1.3%.
This figure was significantly lower than the estimates previously made by Qian Xing, a clear consequence of various actions that had bypassed the Immortal Gate’s regulations over the last few decades.
Despite Yuan Xu’s visibly sheepish expression, both Chen Mobai and Qi Yuheng maintained a stoic facade.
At their level of Cultivation, they no longer viewed the rules with the same reverence as before.
Nevertheless, they would act without hesitation should anyone dare to break those rules in their presence.
"Proceed."
Chen Mobai gestured toward the two Divine Natures. Yuan Xu reached out to touch them; the Celestial Dragon God’s Divine Nature produced a faint white glow, but the Earth Dragon God’s nature blazed with brilliance, nearly drowning half his form in light.
Qi Yuheng nodded at the sight.
Qian Xing had previously recorded that these Divine Natures were most compatible with Ying Guanghua, followed by Yuan Xu and Tao Hua.
With Yuan Xu having paved the way, the remaining Nascent Soul cultivators grew more composed. Bathed in the radiance of the Immortal Technique: Infinity, they rose one by one to test their affinity with the three Deity Transformation resources.
When Elder Qingping laid his hand upon the Fruit of Dao’s Rule, the light transformed into glowing patterns that climbed his arm and spread across most of his chest.
The two Divine Natures, however, showed absolutely no response to Elder Qingping’s touch.
This left Elder Qingping looking quite discouraged.
After all, even if he managed to reach the Deity Transformation stage by refining the Dao Fruit, there would be no path for further progress.
Yet, having witnessed the horrors of the Death God’s Tribulation, he understood the Immortal Gate's desperate need for new God-Transcending experts and had steeled himself mentally.
Noticing Qingping's somber mood, Chen Mobai sent him a private voice transmission. Upon hearing the message, the Elder's face instantly brightened with happiness.
"Come see me once we have finished here."
After giving instructions to Elder Qingping, Chen Mobai turned his attention to Beiming Master.
Unfortuantely, not one of the three Deity Transformation resources reacted to him.
Beiming Master was deeply crushed by this outcome and cast a desperate look at Qi Yuheng, who remained unmoved.
Peach Blossom Sage was next. As predicted, the Earth Dragon God’s Divine Nature shone with intense light, nearly equaling the resonance shown by Yuan Xu Master.
Following the tests, a spark of competition flickered in the eyes of both Peach Blossom Sage and Yuan Xu.
After all, only one such resource was available.
Subsequently, Three Extremes Sage mirrored Beiming Master’s disappointment, letting out a heavy sigh of resignation.
Finally, it was Yunhai Master’s turn. Maintaining a composed air, he touched the three items. The Celestial Dragon God’s Divine Nature erupted in a brilliant light, proving him to be the most compatible individual present.
Seeing this result, Chen Mobai and Qi Yuheng nodded in mutual agreement.
"The Celestial Dragon God’s Divine Nature goes to Yunhai, the Earth Dragon God’s Divine Nature to Yuan Xu, and the Fruit of Dao’s Rule to Qingping."
As the glow from the Heavenly Calculation Bead faded away, Qi Yuheng immediately declared the distribution of the three Deity Transformation resources.
"This is not fair..."
The words had barely left his mouth when Peach Blossom Sage stood up in protest.
She had clearly elicited a resonance equal to that of Yuan Xu.
"Be silent!"
Disinclined to offer Peach Blossom Sage an explanation, Qi Yuheng instantly invoked the Six Imperial Scripture to bind her. She was frozen in place, unable to utter a sound, resembling nothing more than a piece of withered wood.
"Yunhai, Yuan Xu, Qingping—if any of you wish to decline these resources, I will grant you the opportunity now."
Qi Yuheng looked at the three chosen men.
Yunhai and Yuan Xu immediately shook their heads, refusing to give up the opportunity.
After a brief moment of doubt, Qingping followed suit.
"Once you have taken possession of the items, Pure Yang will instruct you on the proper refining techniques. Should difficulties arise, you may seek him out at Wangxian Peak."
With those final instructions, Qi Yuheng brushed his sleeve and disappeared from his seat.
He had only recently entered the final stages of recovering from his wounds and would not have appeared if not for the gravity of the situation and Chen Mobai’s personal request.
"Three Extremes Sage, please see Peach Blossom Sage back to Jumang Academy. Use this Daoist Talisman Paper to release her from the restriction."
After Qi Yuheng’s departure, Chen Mobai passed a Daoist Talisman Paper to Three Extremes Sage. Although the Sage had not received one of the three primary resources, the path to becoming a deity via Blooming Moment remained open to him.
Three Extremes Sage understood perfectly why Yuan Xu had been chosen over Peach Blossom Sage for the Earth Dragon God’s Divine Nature.
Beyond the specific circumstances of the Jumang Lineage, it was because Yuan Xu was a member of the Patching Heaven Lineage.
Ultimately, Ancestor Qian Xing had given his life during the Death God’s Tribulation.
It was only right that his legacy favored his own followers.
Had the resource been granted to Peach Blossom, future sacrifices by those within the Immortal Gate would likely be weighed with far more hesitation.
Night fell upon Gathering-Immortals Peak.
Chen Mobai began teaching the secret techniques of the Yi Yuan Dao Palace to Elder Qingping.
"This is the specialized method of the Dan Ding Sect for the refining of a Dao Fruit..."
