I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2345: 1059:

Observing the Seven Great Nascent Souls of the Five Elements Sect suspended majestically in the sky, Ruan Lilong felt a deep sense of respect for the sect’s reputation as the premier power on the Eastern Continent's frontier.

Lou Xuelong, meanwhile, was paralyzed by sheer astonishment.

He recalled the time he brought the Star Heaven Dao Sect to the Eastern Wilderness for trade summits; back then, the region lacked even a single Nascent Soul cultivator, and those at the Golden Core stage were treated with the highest reverence.

Now, however, the Five Elements Sect boasted a roster of Nascent Soul experts that rivaled his own Star Heaven Dao Sect.

“I offer my respects to the Shishu and Elders…”

Even Zhou Wangshen, despite his status, found himself perspiring as the seven Nascent Soul masters gathered around him. He had never imagined that activating his talisman would summon such a massive assembly.

Before he could find the right words to explain, Zhou Shengqing and the other elders pressed their palms together, bowing toward the Sun-Carrying Dragon as it neared Stormy Immortal City.

“Congratulations to our Junior Brother Sect Leader. Your spirit beast has triumphed over its tribulation, securing another millennium of foundation for our Five Elements Sect.”

The crowd’s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets upon hearing Zhou Shengqing’s declaration, and they turned their gazes toward the city outskirts in disbelief.

As the Sun-Carrying Dragon drew closer, the observers finally beheld the majestic beast. It possessed golden-yellow scales, a serpentine body, and claws as sharp as blades. Its eyes burned like fireballs, its horns were jagged like swords, and its whiskers trailed like sharp rapiers, while its back rose in mountain-like peaks.

As it soared, its colossal shadow submerged most of Stormy Immortal City in darkness. The dragon’s golden eyes, resembling radiant stars, caused every cultivator in the city to shudder with fear.

In that moment, an immense pressure seemed to emanate from the earth itself; as the creature’s gaze swept down from the heavens, they found themselves unable to move.

This was a True Spirit: A Yellow Dragon!

Furthermore, this was no mere beast that had evolved its bloodline through Cultivation; it was an Innate True Spirit!

Mei Longzheng, relying on his professional knowledge, immediately identified the creature's origins as it circled the Immortal City. He, along with Ruan Lilong, Lou Xuelong, and the representatives of other major powers, could only stare at the sky in shock.

How could the Five Elements Sect possess such a profound hidden foundation?

Was this a legacy left behind by the Yi Yuan True Monarch?

It was no wonder people claimed the true orthodoxy of Yi Yuan resided in the Eastern Wilderness!

The legend of Yi Yuan True Monarch, who ascended to a higher realm long ago, was known to all—particularly the tale of him riding a dragon during his ascension, a story held sacred by all who seek the Dao.

Today, the Yellow Dragon had returned to the world.

What’s more, it was willingly serving as a mount for a cultivator.

As the dragon descended, the figure seated upon its back became visible to the masses.

Though he appeared small compared to the massive True Spirit, every eye was fixed upon him. He wore a pristine white fairy garment with nine Flame Dragons stitched onto the sleeves. His appearance was refined and calm, his expression gentle, and his hands were clasped behind his back, yet he radiated a natural authority that commanded immediate respect.

“Brothers and nephews, you praise me too much. I failed to inform you of my spirit beast’s tribulation, which forced you all to make this unnecessary journey…”

As Chen Mobai spoke, he floated down from the dragon’s back. An invisible power gently lifted the members of the Five Elements Sect, helping them to their feet.

“Junior Sect Leader, you are too modest. This is a monumental occasion; I would gladly make this trip many times over,” Zhou Shengqing replied with a grin.

He watched the small Dragon Girl, who had manifested her True Dragon form behind Chen Mobai, and began to envision the future glory of the sect. Even after they passed away, this mighty True Spirit would serve as a guardian for generations. The lifespan of a True Spirit far exceeded even that of a Divinity Transformation cultivator, especially one as elite as an Innate Yellow Dragon.

“Since everyone is gathered, why not join me for some tea?” Chen Mobai invited.

Zhou Shengqing and the others naturally accepted the offer.

“Nephews, the waters where the tribulation occurred are filled with the remains of aquatic beasts. Please send a team to clear them so the ecology of Yun Meng Ze isn't damaged,” Chen Mobai said kindly to Zhou Wangshen and Ban Zhaodan.

Ruan Lilong watched him, unable to find any trace of the man known as the "Death God of the Eastern Wilderness"—the one who had wiped out East Wu and decimated a million demon races in the Desolate Sea.

“As you command, Sect Leader!”

The two Golden Core cultivators bowed. Ban Zhaodan immediately led the disciples from the Spirit Beast Department out of the city to begin the cleanup.

Once Chen Mobai and the Nascent Soul elders retired to the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, Stormy Immortal City exploded into a frenzy of gossip.

Because King Zhou had received Chen Mobai’s blessing, he did nothing to suppress the talk. Soon, word spread to every cultivator that the one who had survived the Heavenly Tribulation was a True Spirit Yellow Dragon.

Recalling the myths of Yi Yuan True Monarch ascending with a dragon, no one could doubt that the Five Elements Sect held the true Yi Yuan Orthodoxy. After all, the Yi Yuan Dao Palace had not seen a Yellow Dragon in millennia.

The consensus was that Yi Yuan True Monarch had foreseen his Dao Palace’s decline and placed his true inheritance in his home region, the Eastern Wilderness. Chen Guixian, by possessing the Yellow Dragon, clearly held more legitimacy than the Dao Palace itself.

This realization solved the mystery of how the Five Elements Sect had risen so rapidly in the barren Eastern Wilderness. Clearly, the ascended True Monarch had bequeathed his greatest treasures to them.

Mei Longzheng sat in a private room at the Sky Meal Building, sipping premium spiritual wine from the South Mountain Shop, his brow furrowed with inner turmoil. The existence of a True Spirit Yellow Dragon within the Five Elements Sect was earth-shattering news.

For someone from the Beast Commanding Sect, such a high-level spirit beast was the key to unlocking the Divinity Transformation stage. However, Mei Longzheng was hesitant to report this back to his sect. After all, he had only just finished buying a house here.

...

Inside the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion.

After a brief tea session, Zhou Shengqing and the others politely took their leave. They knew Chen Mobai had just ended a long period of seclusion and had already spoken with them in East Wu; it was only right to leave him alone with his partner.

“You achieved Spirit Transformation so quickly. It appears the Shocking God Sonata at the Immortal Gate provided you with incredible benefits,” Qing Nu remarked.

Chen Mobai had sent the Dragon Girl to rest within the Spiritual Vein Core. Now alone with Qing Nu, he shared his experiences from the past few years.

“It is true that the Shocking God Sonata showed me the way, but it also brought a terrible disaster to the Immortal Gate. Ancestor Qian Xing had to give up a millennium of his cultivation because of it…”

Chen Mobai sighed as he described the Death God’s Tribulation, leaving Qing Nu visibly shaken.

“I didn't realize the next war for the Immortal Gate would be so brutal... You...” Qing Nu trailed off, her eyes full of concern.

“The Immortal Gate is my home,” Chen Mobai said firmly. “I will never desert it to hide in the Tianhe Realm unless there is absolutely no other choice.”

Hearing his resolve, Qing Nu felt a sense of pride despite her worry. This was the Chen Mobai she knew—a man of immense courage.

“Then we must accelerate our progress toward the Spirit Transformation stage. There are seven years left before we leave the Desolate Sea. Ming’er at the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple is working hard; she should reach the peak of the Fourth Rank by then to perform the Blooming Moment. Also, how is the accumulation of your Innate Pure Yang Qi?”

Qing Nu began to tally their resources, inquiring about the progress of his main body.

“Initially, I thought I wouldn't reach perfection until the Desolate Sea opened. However, I encountered a new opportunity at the Immortal Gate. My divine sense broke through to the Spirit Transformation stage first, allowing me to form a second primordial spirit. With its help, I should finish in two or three years.”

Chen Mobai hid nothing from her. He manifested the Primordial Yang Treasure Beads behind his head, displaying the power of his second primordial spirit.

“I feel like I should be shocked, but with your talent, it almost seems expected,” Qing Nu said, her reaction surprisingly calm.

Chen Mobai’s reputation as a genius was so firmly established that even this feat seemed normal. Reaching such heights in under two hundred years, even with resources from two worlds, was a feat that would likely never be repeated.

“Once the Innate Pure Yang Qi is ready, I can take the final step. Even before I officially reach Spirit Transformation, the combined power of two Spirit Transformation-level bodies will allow me to rule the Eastern Wilderness.”

“There is one more thing I should tell you.”

“It concerns Jing’er…”
