I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2362: 1067: Secret News
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Chen Mobai’s heart raced as his intuition whispered that the object Taixu True King sought might be the Turtle Treasure.
Masking his inner turmoil with a look of feigned astonishment, he inquired, “Are you aware of what Taixu True King is actually hunting for?”
Yuan Zhen paused for a moment of hesitation before finally disclosing, “Rumor has it that he seeks a treasure called the ‘Gate of Taixu,’ the primordial supreme treasure of this world. It is said that Taixu True King once carried it into the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm, but its current location remains a mystery.”
Chen Mobai was rocked by an internal shock upon hearing those words.
The Gate of Taixu—wasn’t that the very supreme treasure Purple Sky Daoist Venerable employed to unlock the Star River of the cosmos?
How could it have fallen into the possession of Taixu True King?
Could it be possible that Taixu True King and Purple Sky Daoist Venerable are actually the same person?
Doubts swirled in Chen Mobai’s mind, yet he understood that these were questions he could never voice aloud.
“Does this imply that this supreme treasure is currently hidden within the Tianhe Realm?”
Xuan De’s eyes sparkled with interest as he pressed the matter further on Chen Mobai’s behalf.
Without question, any artifact capable of grabbing the interest of a figure like Taixu True King had to be incredibly rare, perhaps even a legendary Innate Treasure.
“If it isn't in the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm, it is highly probable that it remains in this world. With Brother Xuan De’s renowned luck, perhaps he might stumble upon it, catch the eye of Taixu True King, and be taken in as an inner chamber disciple.”
Yuan Zhen’s teasing caused Xuan De’s expression to shift slightly, and he lowered his gaze with a shy, self-deprecating smile.
“We ought to stop speculating about the business of the Upper Realm; such matters are beyond the reach of those at our Cultivation level.”
Zhang Pankong intervened at that point. As a Taoist Child of the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, he maintained a deep sense of awe for the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm.
Furthermore, since the topic involved Taixu True King, he preferred that the discussion be brought to an end.
Although Chen Mobai was still plagued by many uncertainties, he laughed and steered the conversation elsewhere: “Since we have gathered today, let us talk about the pioneer activities or perhaps exchange our insights on Cultivation.”
Xuan De and the others signaled their agreement, beginning with the primary target of the current pioneer mission: the Golden Flame Manticore.
This Fifth Rank True Spirit wields terrifying strength. During the previous clash between the Righteous and Demon paths, it rampaged through the East Barbarians and nearly breached East Yu to terrorize the East Land.
They were now returning to its territory for a confrontation, yet it remained uncertain if the combined power of Dustless True Monarch and Da Kong True Monarch would be enough to slay it.
“It can certainly be taken down. The real worry is whether we can prevent the Golden Flame Manticore from self-detonating the spirit vein of Shetuoling before it draws its last breath.” Xuan De voiced his firm belief in the might of the pioneer army led by the Dao Morale Sect.
As the most ancient Holy Land in the Eastern Continent, the Dao Morale Sect possesses an unfathomably deep foundation.
The only thing Dustless True Monarch had to calculate was how to succeed in the pioneer mission while exhausting as little of that foundation as possible.
“By the way, if the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill is successfully produced this time, will you be granted one, Brother Xuan De?”
Zhang Pankong directed this question toward him.
“My Master did indeed promise that if our Sect secures two pills, I would be the first in line after the Sect Leader.”
Since Zhang Pankong and Yuan Zhen had been open about the secrets of the Upper Realm, Xuan De did not play coy and gave a straight answer.
“I am truly envious; you never seem to lack for precious elixirs.”
Yuan Zhen sighed, her face betraying her jealousy.
Even as the Saintess of the Nine Heavens Morality Sect, she constantly struggled to obtain enough resources for her future Nascent Soul breakthroughs.
“If Sister Yuan and Brother Zhang distinguish yourselves in this pioneer operation, perhaps a pill will be set aside for you as well.”
Xuan De spoke words of encouragement.
“I have come to terms with my situation. Even if our Sect receives two pills, they are destined for Master Ni and Brother Ye.”
Yuan Zhen was realistic about her standing. She knew that in terms of seniority and Cultivation, she was ranked low among the Nascent Souls of the Nine Heavens Morality Sect, and she had never expected to receive a Communicating Holy Spirit Pill from this mission.
Listening to this, Chen Mobai’s thoughts began to churn.
If the Nine Heavens Morality Sect only obtained a single pill, Ni Yuanzhong and Ye Qing would likely have to fight over it.
However, because the Dao Morale Sect moved up the timeline for the pioneer activity, Ye Qing might miss the opportunity entirely, losing his chance.
In such a scenario, even with Yuan Qingque present, there would be little room for protest.
After all, both Ni Yuanzhong and Ye Qing were his pupils.
As for the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, since they had deployed two Divinity Transformation experts during the last Great War, it was a certainty they would receive two pills.
“One will go to Palace Master Azure Fall, while the other is for Brother Zhang and Sister Shan to vie for?”
Qi Jiannu, who had remained quiet until now, topped off everyone’s Longevity Eyebrow tea and asked softly.
“It is unlikely that either my sister or I will receive that pill.”
Zhang Pankong shook his head with a touch of regret.
It turned out that Da Kong True Monarch had sought the aid of Great Ancient True Monarch. As a Divinity Transformation expert from the Southern State’s Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, that second pill was reserved for the Southern branch.
“Are there any other Fifth Rank True Spirits remaining in the Ruins besides the Golden Flame Manticore?”
Chen Mobai asked, following up on the topic.
With so many people involved, a single batch of pills would surely be insufficient.
Given the assembled might of the Eastern Continent's Righteous Dao, they might as well purge a few more beasts.
“Over the course of tens of thousands of years, most have been eradicated by our Sect. Those that remain are either hidden in the deepest reaches of the Ruins or belong to the Bloodline True Spirits of the Demon Race Royal Court, which are extremely difficult to deal with.”
Xuan De’s explanation painted a picture in Chen Mobai’s mind of the bloody history of these pioneer missions.
The Holy Lands of the Eastern Continent used this method to sustain their lineage of Divinity Transformations, but he couldn't help but wonder what would happen once the True Spirit Bloodlines were completely wiped out.
