I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2395: 1077: Taiyin Treasure Pearl 3
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Right now, Shenxi along with the Azure Fall Palace Master were guiding the Nascent Soul experts from Dongling Immortal City to welcome the trio.
"I'll go to the Eastern Land frontier to stop that Flying Night Fiend first. Junior Brother Dustless, focus on making the pill."
Up on the highest floor of Qian Yuan Building, Da Kong True Monarch spoke up initially.
At present, over on the Eastern Continent, they count as three Deity Transformation beings, though Chen Mobai only holds Deity Transformation fighting strength without truly entering that stage.
The pressing matter is undoubtedly the wild Demon Path in East Li and the creation of the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill.
In particular, the second one—should the pill come out successfully, it could bring forth multiple fresh Deity Transformations for the Righteous alliance. At minimum, Chen Mobai and Shenxi look like sure bets.
By that point, forget the Flying Night Fiend; even if Ming Zun came back, he'd be no match for four fists with just two hands, heading straight to doom.
Thus, prior to that, the setbacks in East Li seem bearable to the pair of Deity Transformations.
Worst case, things revert to the pre-Righteous-Demonic war state, provided the Demon Path stays out of the Eastern Land.
Therefore, Da Kong True Monarch intends to guard the Eastern Land and East Li boundary as Dustless True Monarch works on the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill.
"In that case, I'll ask Senior Brother to watch over the Demon-Suppressing Immortal City. If you hold back that Flying Night Fiend, the Eastern Land sect cultivators in East Li get better odds to pull back..."
Dustless True Monarch nodded to the idea, offering a little more detail.
Even though this approach hands decades of Eastern Land Righteous sects' work in East Li to the Demon Path, as Deity Transformations, they see the bigger picture.
This minor setback gets recovered fully after the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill succeeds, possibly kicking off a golden age never seen before for the Eastern Continent's Righteous way.
"Such a shame—I've suffered through almost two centuries of tough training, sharpening my skills against demons, yet those fiends get to linger a few extra years..."
Chen Mobai voiced some disappointment in reply, thinking that armed with his Primordial Yang Sword, he could crush any Demon Path foes without fail.
Still, the two True Monarchs had a point; caution wins out. With extra Deity Transformations on the Righteous side, they could strike back all at once.
Those nearby wore oddly complex looks upon his words.
This young man hasn't even reached two hundred!?
As it hit him, Dustless True Monarch's hand shook faintly while gripping his teacup.
He himself had lived thirteen hundred years.
Chen Mobai was barely nearing a century.
This implied that as he and Da Kong grew old, this youth would claim the Eastern Continent's future.
Before, Dustless True Monarch trusted his heir Shenxi deeply, but after recent dealings with Chen Mobai, he realized this kid's talent placed him among the top ten in the Eastern Continent's millennia-long history.
He might even hit Cultivating Void, just like Yuan Qingque!
Such thoughts brought Dustless True Monarch mixed feelings—joy that after Yuan Qingque, Qin Tian's white jade pillar would rise as a new mainstay for the Eastern Continent's Righteous path, but worry since this talent didn't hail from his Dao Morale Sect.
At least, he wasn't tied to Taixu MiaoMiao Palace or Nine Heavens Demon Slaying Sect.
With that in mind, Dustless True Monarch eased up somewhat.
The Yi Yuan lineage remained fairly fragile. Post-Chen Guixian, it could fade for ages again.
Even with Chen Guixian and Yi Yuan True Monarch ascending, forming the Five Elements Holy Land wouldn't match the lasting power of their three great sects.
"Young friend, your anti-demon arts will shine soon enough. For the moment, please hold steady and manage the Dongling Domain."
Dustless True Monarch addressed Chen Mobai gently, his face warm and reassuring.
"I'll follow the two seniors' decisions."
Chen Mobai readily accepted, as his Five Elements Sect held no stakes in East Li, so Demon Path gains there meant no personal hit. His earlier tough talk stemmed purely from his role as Holy Land leader, standing firm against the demons.
"Now, I'll head back to the sect for pill refining. Su'er, join me. Time to teach you the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill method."
Having settled Dongling Domain affairs, Dustless True Monarch rose to depart. Without Xuande around, he'd impart the secrets to his pupil Qi Jiannu first.
"Oh, and little friend Chen, you'll get the Golden Flame Manticore's skin once the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill is done—refining might use up some essence blood, and carcass bits could go into the furnace to boost success chances..."
On his way out, Dustless True Monarch reminded Chen Mobai, who nodded right away.
"I'll tag along briefly; I'm bound for the Demon-Suppressing Immortal City too!"
Da Kong True Monarch got to his feet, and with those words, his wrist's silver ring spun, wrapping Dustless True Monarch and his student in silvery glow. The trio vanished in a flash from their spot.
Chen Mobai paused briefly but chose not to offer alchemy aid.
Employing Stat Fire, he figured he could yield at least one extra pill, yet with his own Communicating Holy Spirit Pill secured, an additional one would just help other Nascent Soul late-stage folks, so no need to overdo the generosity.
"Sect Master Chen, from here on, the Dongling Domain falls to you."
Once the two Deity Transformations departed, Shenxi lifted his teacup first, offering a toast to Chen Mobai.
"Please, please—I'm no fan of handling things directly, so we'll stick to the current setup. If ruin beasts get out of hand, Sect Master Shenxi, just let me know."
Chen Mobai responded politely, even if Dustless True Monarch had put him in charge. That was more formality than fact.
