I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2369 - 1070: Two Divinity Transformation Masters
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
As the Heaven and Earth Xuanji Instrument reached its maximum rotation, a brilliant pillar of spiritual light erupted from the earth like a sky-piercing lance, connecting directly with the golden orb at the device's core.
A thunderous hum subsequently vibrated through the clouds, causing every cultivator within Dongling Immortal City to feel the Spirit Vein beneath their feet shuddering.
Leveraging his proficiency as a Fifth Rank Formation Master, Chen Mobai observed an invisible boundary expanding outward from the Heaven and Earth Xuanji Instrument. This formation did not merely cover East Spirit Mountain; it reached toward the distant peaks and Spirit Veins, influencing the natural spiritual energy of the world.
This was the legendary Heaven and Earth Xuanji Array of the Dao Morale Sect. Provided the Supreme Treasure was present, it possessed the power to manipulate local Spirit Veins and manifest formations in any location.
Chen Mobai even sensed the formation within his own courtyard being disturbed, as the Heaven and Earth Xuanji Instrument had seized total control over all Spirit Vein Qi in the vicinity.
Once the array was fully triggered, the golden sphere at the center of the Xuanji Instrument radiated a blinding light. Its orbits, shifting with infinite colors and patterns, accelerated their spin. Beams of light erupted from the instrument, weaving an ethereal net across the horizon that stretched thousands of miles to encompass Shetuoling.
Spiritual light shimmered in Chen Mobai’s eyes as he used the knowledge of his Immortal Gate to analyze and verify this fabled formation of the Eastern Continent Holy Lands.
The potency of the Heaven and Earth Xuanji Array is dictated by its wielder. As a God-Transcending cultivator, Dustless True Monarch could typically only push its power to the peak of Rank-5.
However, if a Nascent Soul cultivator were to provide assistance, it could potentially reach Rank-6.
Against Shetuoling, however, Rank-5 power was more than sufficient.
Under Chen Mobai’s watchful gaze, the luminous mesh cast by the Xuanji Instrument intensified. Through his Realm of Response Earth Spirit, he felt the ground surging with massive energy, sealing off Shetuoling within the grand formation.
As the light beams grew stronger, the Rank-5 Spirit Vein of East Spirit Mountain began to vibrate violently. Chen Mobai could feel its natural resistance; after the initial activation by Dustless True Monarch, the Heaven and Earth Xuanji Array was now voraciously draining the Spirit Vein’s power to maintain the remote seal.
The Dao Morale Sect had prepared for this long ago by embedding Array Plates and Array Flags into the Spirit Veins of East Spirit Mountain, even upgrading them to Rank-5 specifically for this day. Resistance was futile.
Chen Mobai soon realized that the Spirit Vein, which had been elevated to Rank-5, had been sucked dry by the Xuanji Instrument’s black-hole-like hunger, regressing back to Rank-4.
With the Heaven and Earth Xuanji Array fully established, a massive boom echoed from the distance, making the ruins themselves seem to tremble.
Roar!
The sound was no hallucination. Along with the shaking of the world, a colossal roar transformed into a terrifying shockwave, traveling from the distance toward East Spirit Mountain.
Chen Mobai detected a fierce aura approaching at extreme speeds.
It was clearly the Rank-5 Golden Flame Manticore.
Just as he wondered how Dustless True Monarch would react, two formidable auras ignited above Dongling Immortal City.
One figure, standing atop a medicinal elixir with a composed expression and an immortal air, was Dustless True Monarch, whom Chen Mobai recognized.
The second figure possessed a square face, large ears, and broad shoulders. He wore gold and silver rings upon his wrists, his hair was bound beneath a crown, and he was dressed in a silver robe and cloud-walking boots, radiating immense authority.
While Chen Mobai had never seen him before, there were only two Deity Transformation figures in the East Continent. This had to be Da Kong True Monarch of the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace.
He looked nothing like the elderly man who had sold him "The Taixu Four Volumes" during the Beidou Conference.
Who was that old man, then?
Was he perhaps a renegade from the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace?
Or maybe...
Recalling the secrets mentioned by Yuan Zhen and Zhang Pankong, a startlingly bold theory flashed through Chen Mobai's mind.
He stopped himself from thinking further.
At that moment, the Golden Flame Manticore, which had been charging toward East Spirit Mountain in a blaze of fire, suddenly skidded to a halt and retreated toward its den.
Sensing two Deity Transformation cultivators, the beast clearly wished to avoid a two-on-one confrontation.
"I shall accompany Senior Brother Da Kong to hunt the beast. The remaining pioneering duties are entrusted to you all."
The steady voice of Dustless True Monarch echoed clearly for every cultivator in Dongling Immortal City to hear.
As he finished speaking, the silver ring on Da Kong True Monarch’s right hand glowed brilliantly, wrapping the two of them in light and teleporting them instantly.
Chen Mobai recognized it as the Void Evasion Technique.
It was a version practiced to an incredibly high level, capable of moving multiple people at once.
Silence fell over Dongling Immortal City after the two Deity Transformation True Monarchs vanished. Although everyone knew the Dao Morale Sect was going to act, the suddenness of the assault was startling.
Chen Mobai and the others had expected the forces of the Three Great Sacred Lands to advance slowly toward Shetuoling, with righteous cultivators first capturing the Demon Kings serving the Golden Flame Manticore, before the two Deity Transformation True Monarchs finally moved in for the kill.
Instead, the battle had escalated immediately to the highest level of power.
No one even knew when Da Kong True Monarch had arrived; he had appeared without a single sign.
