I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2335 - 1056_2
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
The Red Sun Spiritual Wood has already matured into a towering tree, its canopy dense with verdant foliage. Deep within its trunk, one can faintly perceive the flickering Green-sun Fire as it gathers transformative energy.
A gathering of Five Elements Sect disciples can be found here; they hail not only from the Spirit Plant Department but from the Spirit Beast Department as well.
While the territory they are tasked with managing is far more expansive than a standard Spirit Field, they enjoy much more relaxed performance assessments in exchange.
Vibrant life fills the forest, where the air is thick with the scent of flowers and the chirping of birds, while small spirit beasts dart through the undergrowth.
As Chen Mobai entered this realm, he observed that the land of East Wu—which he had once devastated—had undergone a total restoration. The superficial damage had been healed, and the area was now overflowing with vitality thanks to the diverse flora.
Without his conscious effort, the Crown of Heaven and Earth manifested above his head.
That specific section, once as dark as ink, suddenly began to fade. It eventually vanished entirely, returning to its original state of pristine, jade-like whiteness.
Chen Mobai felt his heart grow clear again as that fragment of evil power was purged.
The Fruit of Dao’s Rule, nestled within the Crown of Heaven and Earth, suddenly expanded by twenty-five percent, as if it had been liberated from heavy chains.
In that very moment, Chen Mobai realized that the Heavenly Heart and Earth Spirit of East Wu were now under his absolute authority.
With a single thought, he no longer required the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation for tracking. By following the Ancestor Vein that permeated East Wu, he could lock onto any coordinate and teleport there in an instant.
His reach now extended beyond East Wu to include Yun Meng Ze, the Eastern Wilderness, the ancient Ruins opened by the Five Elements Sect, and even two-thirds of the East Barbarians' lands.
He could pinpoint any location and teleport at will using the Fruit of Dao’s Rule, provided it sat within the borders of the Five Elements Sect.
With the interference of East Wu’s evil power gone, his mastery over these rules could be considered largely perfected.
Although he lacked the millennia of accumulated foundation held by the Immortal Gates, he could now wield sixty to seventy percent of such power.
As passages from the Taoist Laws Sure-book drifted through his mind, the grand Thousand Swords Dharma Body materialized behind him, looming over the lush, green canopy.
The Crown of Heaven and Earth drifted from his physical head, growing in size until it fit perfectly upon the brow of the Thousand Swords Dharma Body.
As the Fruit of Dao’s Rule merged with the Thousand Swords Dharma Body, Chen Mobai felt an endless stream of lines from beneath the Five Elements Sect's territory surging toward him. Under his will, they wove into a massive web of regulations that draped over the Dharma Body.
Once adorned by these regulations, the Thousand Swords Dharma Body—which previously held only a trace of Rank-5 mystery—shattered its limits and ascended to the Rank-5 realm.
To reach the Heavenly Garment Realm, one usually needs to condense Nine Heavens Pure Qi into a physical membrane; Chen Mobai had achieved a comparable result by using the Web of Dao Laws as a surrogate.
However, this method had its drawbacks compared to using Nine Heavens Pure Qi.
The primary restriction was that it functioned exclusively within the borders of the Five Elements Sect.
The moment he stepped outside, the Robe of Dao Laws worn by the Thousand Swords Dharma Body would crumble instantly.
Chen Mobai, however, had already made peace with this limitation.
He was something of a homebody by nature and had little desire to travel far.
It was enough for him that he could use this power to protect his own domain.
Besides, if he truly had to venture out, he still possessed the Second Primeval Spirit.
That entity was not bound by such geographical constraints.
With these thoughts in mind, Chen Mobai wondered if it was time to be a bit more bold.
With both the Thousand Swords Dharma Body and his Second Primeval Spirit possessing Deity Transformation level combat power, combined with his home-field advantage, he suspected he could hold his own even against the Dustless True Monarch.
But this surge of pride was only temporary.
As a man who valued peace and harmony, his true wish was to form an alliance with the Eastern Earth Holy Land.
The Five Elements Sect was destined to become a Righteous Path Holy Land in its own right, standing as an equal to the Dao Morale Sect.
Now that the Thousand Swords Dharma Body had attained Rank-5, Chen Mobai wanted to gauge its strength against the Second Primeval Spirit.
He knew better than to conduct such a test in East Wu, though. Zhuo Ming and the sect disciples had worked too hard to restore the land; a battle at the Deity Transformation level would easily lay waste to it once more.
Yet, the power of the Thousand Swords Dharma Body was anchored to the Five Elements Sect's territory...
Considering this, Chen Mobai glanced toward the heavens.
He summoned the Second Primeval Spirit from his consciousness and took control of the Primordial Yang Sword. Together with the Thousand Swords Dharma Body, they shifted into two streaks of light—one purple and one gold—and shot into the sky.
Despite his attempts to muffle his aura, the raw, unrefined power of the newly ascended Rank-5 Thousand Swords Dharma Body caused every cultivator and beast in the forest to tremble with fear.
It was only after the Dharma Body disappeared into the clouds that a Foundation Establishment Elder, the highest-ranking cultivator present, managed to stop shaking. Without delay, he reported the incident to Zhou Wangshen.
"A suspected Nascent Soul presence has been sighted..."
Zhou Wangshen was busy inspecting the newly sprouted Rank-4 Five-Colored Rice when the news reached him, causing him a great deal of alarm.
He quickly consulted Yi Shaoqing, but the latter only shook his head, claiming he had sensed no Nascent Soul level energy entering the defensive formation.
Yet, if the intruder truly was at the Nascent Soul stage, Yi Shaoqing felt hesitant, knowing he only possessed the strength of a Heterodox Golden Core.
"East Wu is a vast territory, and the formation doesn't cover every inch yet. Even though we've prepared Spiritual Pivots and Array Plates for expansion, perhaps a Nascent Soul expert in the Dao of Formations managed to slip through the gaps..."
