I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2364 - 1067: Secret History (Part 3)

Ultimately, paying three million Dao Coins for a Coagulation Infant Pill is a steep price, especially when the Three Lights Divine Water is available for only two million. Furthermore, joining the Star Heaven Dao Sect provides a generous twenty percent discount.
This offer even tempted the Golden Core Cultivators from East Wu and the East Barbarians who were allied with the Five Elements Sect.
Nevertheless, Chen Mobai’s formidable reputation kept these individuals in check; they were merely curious but lacked the courage to actually defect.
Once the Star Heaven Dao Sect finished their recruitment of Golden Core Cultivators, the majority of the low and mid-tier cultivators flocked toward Yi Yuan Dao Palace.
While the elite powers are well aware that Yi Yuan Dao Palace has been stripped of its status as a sacred ground, the common cultivators remain in the dark.
Viewing it still as a Holy Land, they were further enticed by Earth Virtue’s offer of various cultivation technique manuals from the Yi Yuan Dao Palace archives. This strategy rapidly drew in numerous loose cultivators and minor factions desperate for a legacy.
"Earth Virtue is truly brazen. He is selling off the precious inheritance gathered by the ancestors of Yi Yuan Dao Palace for his own selfish gain."
Upon returning to the courtyard, the Taoist Saintess of the Three Great Sacred Lands sat for tea with Chen Mobai. Having learned of the situation, Yuan Zhen was the first to voice her disapproval.
"It matters little to him now. He has already pledged the Yi Yuan Dao Palace inheritance to the Five Elements Sect, so he feels no burden in distributing it to others. Besides, these are just some Nascent Soul cultivation methods and insights..."
Zhang Pankong exhaled as he set down his cup of Purple Mist Spirit Tea, providing a cold analysis of Earth Virtue’s logic.
"Under normal circumstances, I would certainly challenge him on this, as it concerns the legacy of my Yi Yuan orthodoxy. However, since the pioneering phase has commenced, I must show respect to your Three Great Sacred Lands. Thus, I only sent a letter to offer him some advice."
Chen Mobai remarked. The expansion had already begun. Beyond Dongling Immortal City, every major power had established bases at Fourth Rank Spirit Veins and began their coordinated push forward.
Because the Dao Morale Sect had already cleared the high-level demonic beasts in the immediate vicinity, their current advancement was swift.
In contrast, the Five Elements Sect followed Chen Mobai’s plan of steady and cautious progress. Since they offered the least attractive terms among all the factions, their expansion was the slowest of the group.
"Earth Virtue will never listen to your advice. Having refined the Primordial Dao Fruit, he knows that a Communicating Holy Spirit Pill would give him a significant chance at Divinity Transformation. He will likely liquidate every resource in Yi Yuan Dao Palace to trade for one. We must find a way to obstruct him."
Yuan Zhen urged. She had long since aligned herself with Chen Mobai and had no desire to see Earth Virtue ascend to the Divinity Transformation stage.
"The Yi Yuan orthodoxy remains mine, regardless of whether he achieves Divinity Transformation or not."
Chen Mobai spoke with total confidence.
Furthermore, based on his previous interaction with Earth Virtue, he suspected the man’s chances of reaching Divinity Transformation were actually quite slim.
"On another note, the army of the Beast Commanding Sect arrived today..."
Xuan De brought this up after savoring the Spiritual Tea Chen Mobai had provided.
The Beast Commanding Sect is a prominent power in the East Land, backed by the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect. Consequently, Xuan De and Shenxi had gone to welcome them personally. Remembering Chen Mobai’s earlier interest, Xuan De shared the news.
"Mu Youyi, the Great Elder of the Beast Commanding Sect, is an old friend. Since he has arrived, I must pay him a visit."
After speaking, Chen Mobai produced a Message Talisman and gave it to Han Zhiling, who was accompanying him to gain experience. He instructed her to deliver the message to Mu Youyi at the location Xuan De had mentioned.
...
"Hmph, this Chen Guixian of the Five Elements Sect is quite bold. I hadn't gone looking for him yet, but he delivers himself right to me."
Within the Beast Commanding Sect’s camp, a youth with gray hair and blue pupils chuckled while reading the Message Talisman Mu Youyi had presented.
This individual was none other than Su Taifeng, the Taoist Child of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect.
"What shall be my response, Taoist Child?"
Mu Youyi asked with deep respect. His gaze couldn't help but wander to the small, gray-white furred pig with chicken claws resting at Su Taifeng’s feet.
This creature was a True Spirit—a Rank-5 Civet Power raised by the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect.
Because this Civet Power had reached its current rank in the West Continent and was never brought back to the Central State, it was absent from the official records of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect.
Seeing this Fifth Rank True Spirit, Mu Youyi felt as though Chen Mobai’s fate was already sealed.
Even if one were peerless within the Nascent Soul Realm, the massive chasm between Great Realms was enough to cause total despair.
A flicker of pity crossed Mu Youyi’s heart as he thought of this.
Such was the nature of the Tianhe Realm.
Even as the successor of the Yi Yuan True Monarch, once the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect sets its sights on your treasures, the road ahead leads only to the grave.
"Grant his request and set the meeting. I am also eager to see the Yellow Dragon, as it is destined to become my life-bonded True Spirit."
As Su Taifeng spoke, he crushed the Message Talisman into dust. With a light breath, he watched the remains scatter into the wind outside the camp.
