I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2384: 1074: Da Kong True Monarch (Part 4)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Da Kong True Monarch cast a look at the Civet Power's remains and spoke to Chen Mobai. The young man gave a nod, pulled out a storage bag, and stored the body away.
Before this Divinity Transformation expert from the Taixu Miaomiao Palace, Chen Mobai saw no reason to reveal his domain.
As a powerhouse from the premier Sacred Land in the Tianhe Realm, and aware that the Taixu True King sought the Gate of Taixu, Chen Mobai figured extra caution was wise to prevent any leaks.
Should the teacher of the Four Taixu Volumes truly be that figure, they would surely reconnect with him down the line.
For the moment, he planned to interact with the Tianhe Realm cultivators as a successor of the Yi Yuan Orthodoxy, under his guise as the Saint Heir of the Longevity Sect.
Once the Civet Power's remains were secured, Chen Mobai summoned the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo and ushered everyone aboard.
“Having this demonic beast alongside the Golden Flame Manticore, Senior Dustless True Monarch can craft two batches of Communicating Holy Spirit Pill. Our chances look much brighter now.”
During their return journey, Xing Ji voiced his excitement, already envisioning a promising path ahead.
“It's not guaranteed, since crafting the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill demands immense effort. Senior Dustless might manage just one batch soon.”
Azure Fall Palace Master delivered those words, which carried the weight of the Three Great Sacred Lands.
Hearing her, Chen Mobai's face shifted subtly as he turned to Da Kong True Monarch.
[The Azure Fall girl's point is spot on. Over on the East Continent, while we support the Righteous Path birthing fresh Divinity Transformation True Monarchs, we won't let their numbers slip beyond our grasp. One batch stands as the unspoken deal among our three sides.]
Da Kong True Monarch transmitted a message straight to Chen Mobai, laying out the underlying logic.
A single batch of Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, divided among the Three Sacred Lands, would leave at best two or three pills for Righteous Path Nascent Souls such as Xing Ji and Hong Yun.
Now, thanks to Chen Mobai's involvement, the split would involve the Four Great Sacred Lands, handing outsiders no more than one or two pills at most.
This approach ensured that any emerging Divinity Transformation would remain firmly under the sway of these veteran Sacred Lands, allowing them to rule the East Continent together.
[Senior's vision is truly sharp.]
Chen Mobai grasped the essence swiftly and replied to Da Kong True Monarch.
Just then, the grin on Xing Ji's face stiffened. With his sharp mind, he too could infer the Three Great Sacred Lands' stance from the Azure Fall Palace Master's remark.
Earlier, Yuan Qingque's ascension had left the Central State's Righteous Path short on Divinity Transformation cultivators, prompting them to offer Nascent Soul Perfected ones beyond the Sacred Lands an opportunity to produce new pillars for the Righteous Path.
Yet with Chen Mobai's presence and Shenxi from the Dao Morale Sect poised for a strong breakthrough chance, the longstanding Four Great Sacred Lands structure could persist in overseeing the East Continent.
Still, Xing Ji held onto some optimism.
He simply had to outshine Earth Virtue, Hong Yun, Han Xingzi, and the rest.
The Four Great Sacred Lands would surely allocate at least one pill to those outside their fold.
Provided he amassed the highest Dao Coins among those external contenders.
This realization hit Xing Ji, leaving him restless, so he excused himself: “In the Qian Position guarded by my sect's formation, riots from demonic beasts stirred by Fifth Rank True Spirits are rampant too…”
Understanding Xing Ji's motive, Da Kong True Monarch let him go with a casual wave.
By now, they had arrived at Dongling Immortal City.
A radiant spiritual glow atop a white cloud soared upward. It was Shenxi, summoned by the Azure Fall Palace Master's notice to oversee Dongling Immortal City's defensive array.
He bowed first to Da Kong True Monarch, then expressed gratitude for the True Monarch eliminating the Fifth Rank True Spirit.
“That wasn't my doing…”
In Shenxi's presence, Da Kong True Monarch held back a bit, gesturing toward Chen Mobai with clear impatience to clarify once more.
At those words, shock flickered across Shenxi's features, nearly causing his white cloud to fade away.
“Sect Master Chen remains so humble. To perfect such an incarnation without a word of it.”
Chen Mobai dismissed Shenxi's praise with a casual wave.
“It's just mastering a single defensive divine ability, nothing noteworthy. For cultivators like us, advancing realms and gaining longer life—that's the real triumph worth toasting.”
Everyone present felt a surge of admiration at Chen Mobai's statement.
“We owe Sect Master Chen big time this round; without you, this Immortal City might've crumbled against the Fifth Rank True Spirit.”
Shenxi offered Chen Mobai a deep, respectful bow of thanks, then led him and Da Kong True Monarch to the uppermost level of Qianyuan Pavilion, directing Xuan De and Qi Jiannu to prepare the finest feast.
Xuan De and Qi Jiannu went downstairs, their faces etched with astonishment, while Chen Mobai summed up his clash with the Fifth Rank Civet Power.
Since the Civet Power kept taking hits, it allowed him ample moments to build power for unleashing the ultimate Primordial Yang Sword Secret, leaving little more to describe.
He'd waged an intense fight and taken it down.
“Might I ask how Sect Master Chen plans to use the Civet Power's corpse? If you're open to parting with it, pick any Rank-5 treasures of equal value from our Dao Morale Sect's stores.”
Shenxi shifted from battle details to pose this question.
To the Dao Morale Sect, a Fifth Rank True Spirit's body could yield at least one batch of Communicating Holy Spirit Pill.
They could apply it within their ranks; even sharing half with Chen Mobai would secure Divinity Transformation prospects for upcoming Taoist Childs and Saintesses.
“My original idea was to forge some Magic Artifacts with it. Given my Artifact Refining prowess, turning it into two Rank-5 Defensive Magic Weapons ought to succeed without issue…”
Chen Mobai voiced his intentions. The Civet Power's pelt would form a protective robe for his prized disciple Zhuo Ming, and its twin fangs could become hook-like flying swords.
“Sect Master Chen has clearly absorbed the full legacy of Yi Yuan True Monarch in Artifact Refining. Could I perhaps join as a Fire Burning Boy for the process? A friend of mine in Central State has a son eager about Artifact Refining and aims for Fifth Rank certification…”
Azure Fall Palace Master chimed in at that point.
Chen Mobai's lips twitched faintly upon hearing her.
He wasn't fond of such requests one bit.
Yet, given her status as Da Kong True Monarch's disciple, he chose to extend this courtesy.
“Of course, that's fine. Just send a message talisman. I'll notify you when I start on the Magic Artifacts.”
“Thank you!”
Azure Fall Palace Master replied with delight.
“The Dao Morale Sect's treasury holds plenty I'd like to claim. If you've got the time, young friend, browse it at your leisure.”
Da Kong True Monarch commented, and Chen Mobai agreed with a nod.
As the most ancient Sacred Land on the East Continent and a famed alchemy-focused sect in the Tianhe Realm, the Dao Morale Sect's reserves rivaled those of Central State's Sacred Lands.
Should an accord be reached, Chen Mobai was open to trading the Civet Power's vital blood with them.
“What's the status on readying the Heaven and Earth Xuanji Formation?”
Da Kong True Monarch turned to Shenxi for the core matter.
“The Spirit Vein isn't fully bolstered yet; it'll likely need another half-year.”
Shenxi updated on the advancement, noting that the Golden Flame Manticore's lair featured a innate formation neither Divinity Transformation True Monarch could crack.
The easiest fix involved deploying the Heaven and Earth Xuanji Formation to lock down the lair's Spirit Vein, thereby dismantling the barrier naturally.
“When it comes to formations…”
Chen Mobai sensed this fell squarely in his expertise upon hearing it.
