I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2392: 1076: Secrets of the Dragon Abyss Cave

At minimum, that ghostly entity reached the peak of Deity Transformation. Could it even be at Cultivating Void?

This realization struck Chen Mobai, making him suddenly aware of his own rashness.

"My gratitude to you, young friend Chen, for your help. Luckily, you avoided falling into the Netherworld, which kept my positioning teleportation array intact; had that not happened, both of us could have ended up stuck there..."

Dustless True Monarch straightened his robes before expressing his thanks to Chen Mobai.

On the other side, Da Kong True Monarch sealed the rift in the void and quickly consumed a healing pill, then pulled out two top-tier spirit stones to sit down and recover through meditation.

Even for a Deity Transformation True Monarch like him, employing the Void Evasion Technique to flee the Netherworld had drained a massive amount of his vital essence.

"Seniors, what exactly occurred? Did the Golden Flame Manticore possess such cunning tricks?"

Chen Mobai feigned shock, believing that Dustless True Monarch and Da Kong True Monarch had been deceived right as the Golden Flame Manticore met its end.

"That creature might have solid cultivation, but it couldn't pull off something like this on its own. The fault lies with our own carelessness..."

Dustless True Monarch let out a heavy sigh before beginning to recount the events of how he and Da Kong True Monarch had ventured into and out of the Netherworld.

Nine Ghost Mother’s Sons!

Nether Dragon!

Wheel of Reincarnation!

Ming Zun!

These key terms left Chen Mobai's expression one of stunned bewilderment.

"The intelligence about our sect's exploration efforts, while once limited to elite cultivators, was undoubtedly picked up by Tu Ming, who then led the Golden Flame Manticore to uncover this cavern and plant a sacrificial death seal to activate the Nether Dragon portal, all to lure us righteous Deity Transformations into a trap..."

Dustless True Monarch voiced his theory, and Chen Mobai deemed it quite plausible, fitting perfectly with Ming Zun's devious nature.

Reflecting on it, he realized he'd narrowly avoided a grave error in judgment.

This grudge was now squarely aimed at Ming Zun.

When it came to the leader of the Eastern Demonic Path, Chen Mobai felt utterly assured of his dominance.

Back during his Nascent Soul phase, he'd already destroyed Tu Ming's prime ghost fetus, proving the Pure Yang Scroll's overwhelming power against demonic forces.

Though Tu Ming had reformed and reached the Spirit Transformation Stage now, a single move from his Second Primeval Spirit would suffice to handle the threat effortlessly.

"Yet, this incident turned into a fortunate turn. We've gained entry to the Netherworld's deepest heart, where legends say the Ghost Mother hid the Ascension Platform. Should we hit a wall in breaking through to Cultivating Void later on, we could abandon all and seek a path to ascension via the divide between the Yin and Yang Realms."

Dustless True Monarch openly revealed this boon to Chen Mobai. Da Kong True Monarch, fresh from crossing realms with the Void Evasion Technique, knew the divide well and had planted his own positioning teleportation array upon his return.

"Truly deserving of your status as seniors!"

Chen Mobai voiced his awe as he listened.

Recalling his own use of the Turtle Treasure for positioning, he pondered whether a casual trip to the Netherworld might be in order sometime.

Would it be wise to bring these two along for such a visit?

But Chen Mobai quickly shelved the notion.

He wasn't keen on claiming the Ascension Platform solely for himself, yet the Netherworld's core brimmed with perils; drawing in mighty ghost deities or even Nine Ghost Mother’s Sons would spell doom for anyone at mere Spirit Transformation level, with no hope of fleeing.

With the Turtle Treasure at his disposal, once he mastered One-Leaf Blindness to perfection, he could mask his aura even in the Netherworld, probing forward or pulling back as needed.

Just then, Da Kong True Monarch wrapped up his meditation; the pair of supreme grade spirit stones in his grasp crumbled to dust, which he tossed aside without a second thought.

Chen Mobai observed the display and couldn't help sensing the extravagance.

Shards from supreme grade spirit stones worked wonders for crafting spiritual essences, especially in purging the most stubborn Dan Poison.

Qing Nu, deep in her alchemy pursuits, relied solely on such essences, yielding pills of unparalleled purity.

"We ought to each lay down some seals here to keep intruders from stumbling upon it."

Da Kong True Monarch proposed this gravely once he rose to his feet.

Chen Mobai grasped his aim without delay.

For Tianhe Realm's Deity Transformation experts, possessing a route to the Netherworld's core and its Ascension Platform represented an invaluable asset.

After all, confronting the Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulation as a Deity Transformation cultivator promised certain doom.

In contrast, pursuing the Ascension Platform within the Netherworld at least dangled a slim shot at survival.

"The three of us need to swear a vow: the Dragon Abyss Cave's mystery stays between us alone. Should any of us want to reveal this spot or bring in outsiders for Netherworld expeditions, it requires unanimous consent."

Dustless True Monarch chimed in, and Da Kong True Monarch nodded in full agreement without pause.

Chen Mobai paused briefly, as the vow was a straightforward affair.

Still, mindful of Tianhe Realm's traditions—where even vows passed down to disciples—he chose to follow suit locally.

Once the oath was sealed, Da Kong True Monarch moved first, producing a Fifth Rank Array Plate and, with a grave look, deployed it to safeguard his positioning teleportation array atop the stone platform.

Going forward, any Netherworld entry would link through this array paired with its counterpart left behind, functioning much like a vital doorway.

With Da Kong True Monarch's array fully established, Chen Mobai stepped up next, energizing the array plate and flags that Dustless True Monarch had earlier positioned along the spirit vein, tweaking them slightly to erect a Fifth Rank Formation.

In the end, the trio departed Dragon Abyss Cave, and Dustless True Monarch hoisted the Xuanji Instrument into the vast heavens and earth, channeling a profound technique to commune with the spirit veins spanning a thousand miles, reshaping landscapes and waterways to completely conceal the hidden grotto.

Upon finishing, Da Kong True Monarch produced a container of message talismans and passed it to Chen Mobai.

"Stay in contact, young friend, for whatever comes next."

Emulating Da Kong True Monarch, Dustless True Monarch followed suit.

Chen Mobai found this communication method a touch outdated, musing that post-Spirit Transformation, he might extend his Heavenly Communication Device enterprise to the East Land; at the same time, Immortal Gate's Sky Curtain Ground Network Management Bureau could launch additional satellites for coverage here.

The prior satellites aided by Yunyang Bing fell short amid Five Elements Sect's territorial growth.

Beyond the Eastern Wilderness's complete signal blanket, only the zone around Bright Mirror Immortal City under Zhou Ye's watch and East Wu's shoreline near Yun Meng Ze enjoyed reception.

By Chen Mobai's calculations, one hundred and eight satellites would suffice to blanket the whole East Continent.

As these expansive plans swirled in his mind, Chen Mobai promptly took the message talismans from both Deity Transformation True Monarchs and reciprocated with his own.

"Time to head out. With this beast defeated, the folks below can begin purging the demonic beasts from the Dongling Domain."

Dustless True Monarch flicked his sleeve, revealing to Chen Mobai the purple-gold pill furnace where the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill brewed within.

As Da Kong True Monarch wrapped the three in the Void Evasion Technique for swift relocation, Chen Mobai asked about the pill refinement timeline.

"This batch has been simmering for thirty years now. Adding the Golden Flame Manticore's vital blood, it should solidify in just one or two more years."

Chen Mobai nodded at Dustless True Monarch's response, figuring he could wait out that span.
