I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2338 - 1057: Sword Domain: Heaven Cutting

Once Chen Mobai’s Thousand Swords Dharma Body advanced to Rank-5, his proficiency in the Immortal Sect Sword Art reached an unprecedented pinnacle, excluding only the Bai Guang technique.

From every corner of the Thousand Swords Dharma Body, the Twenty-Four Sword Intentions manifested, resonating with the Fruit of Dao’s Rule that was set into the Crown of Heaven and Earth.

Simultaneously, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Five Elements Sect felt a wave of terrifying, heart-stopping auras erupting from the East Wu region, all congregating at a high altitude in the firmament.

Every single aura they detected exceeded Rank-4, carrying a lethal power that could effortlessly strike them down.

Mo Douguang, a dedicated sword cultivator, lost his usual composed demeanor as a look of total astonishment washed over his face for the first time.

During his years of seclusion at Golden Cliff, Mo Douguang had not only been documenting his lifelong insights into the Sword Dao but had also been honing his sword intent through that very labor.

Because of this dedication, he was the sole person present capable of perceiving the true nature of this phenomenon.

"These are all... Rank-5 sword intentions!"

Hearing Mo Douguang’s voice tremble slightly, the surrounding cultivators widened their eyes in a mixture of shock and utter disbelief.

They were well aware that Chen Mobai possessed the finest swordsmanship talent in the Eastern Wilderness—likely even surpassing a resurrected Yi Yuan True Monarch—yet the idea of him mastering so many Rank-5 sword intentions while still in the Nascent Soul Realm was beyond their wildest dreams.

Even a legendary prodigy like Ye Qing from the Nine Heavens Morality Sect, a figure seen once in a thousand years, was considered to have reached the peak of talent by manifesting a single Rank-5 sword intent at the Nascent Soul stage.

Chen Mobai’s accomplishment was so staggering that the members of the Five Elements Sect began to wonder if he was truly a mortal being.

High above East Wu, the twenty-four Rank-5 sword intentions triggered a chaotic display of storms, hail, heavy rains, gale-force winds, lightning, rainbows, mirages, and auroras.

These atmospheric disturbances were merely the outward manifestations of the sword intent; had any of them descended upon the land of East Wu, the resulting catastrophe would have been immeasurable.

To the relief of the observers, these sword intent phenomena remained anchored in the sky, showing no indication of falling toward the earth.

"It appears Junior Brother’s period of secluded cultivation has elevated his Sword Dao to a supreme level that defies our understanding..."

After recovering from the initial shock, Zhou Shengqing spoke with a wide smile of pride.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators followed suit, relaxing their guard as they stood atop the forest canopy, watching the lethal sword intent that could have easily erased them had it been unleashed downward.

"Could it be that the Sect Leader is currently undergoing a tribulation?"

Zhou Ye’s sudden question sparked a mixture of hope and anxiety among the group.

"That is unlikely. Based on the archives retrieved from the Yi Yuan Dao Palace, the Deity Transformation tribulation involves the apocalyptic power of the Ninth Heaven’s Tian Gang. During such an event, the spiritual energy for thousands of miles is forcefully pulled by the heavenly tribulation, turning into the world's most terrifying disaster."

Chen Lingming, who usually remained quiet, shared his insight. He had spent his recent years immersed in the library’s scriptures alongside his cultivation.

Despite being the most reserved Nascent Soul Elder in the Five Elements Sect, he possessed full clearance to study every Daoist scripture and historical record the sect held.

For him, this was a state of pure academic bliss.

In the past, although he was a Taoist Child of the Yi Yuan Dao Palace, his lower cultivation and the restrictions of his superiors had barred him from accessing such profound secrets.

In recent years, however, he had been able to read to his heart's content.

One specific scripture he studied detailed the Divinity Transformation realm and described the scenes witnessed when ancient cultivators faced their tribulations.

While the atmospheric changes caused by Chen Mobai’s twenty-four sword intentions looked like a tribulation, the natural spiritual energy was not being siphoned into the Nine Heavens, proving he was not yet facing a breakthrough trial.

"In that case, let us wait right here for Junior Brother to descend."

Zhou Shengqing spoke once more, recognizing that the aura emitted by Chen Mobai as he evolved his Thousand Swords Dharma Body was far too intense for even Nascent Soul cultivators to approach safely.

"Why does it seem as though the Sect Leader is locked in a struggle with a powerful foe?"

Mo Douguang’s expression suddenly darkened as he observed more closely.

Through the perception of his Sword Heart, he felt the sword intent in the heavens multiply in intensity within moments, greedily drawing in natural energies from East Wu to fuel its transformation into something even more formidable.

The mood of the crowd shifted instantly upon his warning.

Indeed, if this were simply a matter of stabilizing power after a breakthrough, the process should have already concluded.

Only the Second Primeval Spirit, through years of dedicated practice, had perfected the manipulation of Innate Pure Yang Qi. Guided by the Primordial Yang Sword, it moved without leaking any aura, leaving only the sword intent of the Thousand Swords Dharma Body for the others to sense.

Within the Tian Gang layers of the atmosphere, the Thousand Swords Dharma Body—under Chen Mobai’s deliberate command—unleashed its full potential.

With all Twenty-Four Sword Intentions firing, the Sword Destruction Collection envisioned by the ancient Zuo Gong was finally brought to life by the Thousand Swords Dharma Body.

Surrounding the Two Rites Sword Devil Array—which utilized the Purple Brilliance and Qing Shuang Sword Intents at its core—were the fully realized Five Elements, the Three Phases, Four Poles, Six Imperial, Seven Stars, Eight Desolates, and Nine Heavens...

The Immortal Sect Sword Art passed down by Zhang Daoshun consisted of only twenty-four fundamental sword intents, yet they represented the building blocks of the Dao. When layered or combined, they could evolve into an infinite variety of new and lethal sword intents.
