Dustless True Monarch distributed the final full Communicating Holy Spirit Pill to Hong Yun, leaving a half vial tainted by toxicity. Xing Ji swiftly claimed the remnant, prioritizing its aid for Divinity Transformation despite the risks, backed by his sect's resources. Earth Virtue challenged the decision, urging a delay in rankings until the full development of Dongling Domain to allow other Nascent Souls a fairer chance, drawing support from the assembly. Though Chen Mobai upheld the established rules in favor of Xing Ji, Earth Virtue proposed postponing only Hong Yun's pill and the half piece, a compromise that Xing Ji considered until Hong Yun vehemently objected.

“Please, True Monarch, decide for us!”

With those words, Hong Yun bowed deeply to the Dustless True Monarch right away. He understood perfectly that lacking backing from a Divinity Transformation expert could force him to relinquish the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill this very day.

Given his feud with Chen Guixian, the man might seize the chance to sabotage him.

“We beg the True Monarch to show mercy for our tireless work in opening new lands!”

Yet Xing Ji and Earth Virtue joined in unison, bowing toward Dustless True Monarch and Chen Mobai. The dozens of Nascent Soul Cultivators there followed suit without delay.

To them, swapping for the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill felt out of reach anyway, so watching Hong Yun get humbled brought some satisfaction.

After all, the remaining six pills went to the Four Great Holy Lands, whose vast resources and might made them untouchable foes.

“Rules must stand firm. The seven Communicating Holy Spirit Pills go by today’s standings. Still, I’ll weigh the views of you ordinary folks. This final half-pill falls to whoever tops the Dao Coins list once Dongling Domain builds successfully.”

Dustless True Monarch wouldn’t go back on his pledge. He’d vowed that pill to Hong Yun himself, and the Cleansing World Pot remained with him, unreturned for now.

Hong Yun, who’d feared a backlash from the crowd, let out a relieved breath, realizing once more that in the East Continent’s realm, Divinity Transformation powers truly dominated.

“I protest!” Now Xing Ji voiced his opposition.

How could that be right?

Waiting it out with Hong Yun was tolerable for him. But handing over the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill he’d nearly claimed to calm the masses? That Xing Ji couldn’t stomach.

“Xing Ji, think twice before you speak.”

Dustless True Monarch narrowed his eyes at Xing Ji, his voice turning chill.

Those words hit Xing Ji like a wake-up call—he remembered not to provoke a Divinity Transformation powerhouse.

His outburst in fury amounted to slapping Dustless True Monarch’s dignity outright.

Beneath the crushing aura of a Divinity Transformation expert, he steadied himself fast, bowed his head, and owned up, “Forgive me, True Monarch; I overstepped and spoke rashly.”

“What if we pick a firm deadline? The Dongling Domain outcome feels too vague and distant right now. This should satisfy everyone.”

Chen Mobai stepped in then to smooth things over.

He found himself admiring Earth Virtue’s boldness that day.

Had Earth Virtue shown such guts back in East Land against him, Chen Mobai might never have scaled Mount Wudi or claimed Yi Yuan Dao Palace’s full legacy.

“We defer to the two True Monarchs.”

Xing Ji nodded at once, proving his flare-up stemmed from temper, not defiance toward a Divinity Transformation elder.

“Make it ten years, then.”

Dustless True Monarch welcomed Chen Mobai’s idea and fixed the timeframe without hesitation.

“Your magnanimity shines, True Monarch!”

As their push yielded a compromise—like a brief stay of execution—Earth Virtue and the gathered Nascent Soul Cultivators thanked Dustless True Monarch and Chen Mobai profusely.

“Count the prior three and a half years in; I’ll add six and a half more. By that point, I’ll check the rankings myself and award this last half Communicating Holy Spirit Pill.”

Dustless True Monarch pondered briefly. Ten years dragged on too much; those using the half-pill rarely succeeded anyway. Better to take it soon, face the likely flop, and free him, a Divinity Transformation master, from ongoing worries. He clarified as such.

Earth Virtue and his allies wouldn’t dare challenge it.

“Everyone, go your ways now.”

With nods all around, Dustless True Monarch dismissed the group with a wave.

Quickly, only Four Great Holy Lands members lingered.

Earth Virtue, of course, slipped away shrewdly.

“I’ll guide you back to your sects. Use this interval to wrap up loose ends.”

Dustless True Monarch addressed Shenxi, Ni Yuanzhong, and Palace Master Azure Fall.

Chen Mobai raised an eyebrow in surprise upon hearing that. Did these three really require a Divinity Transformation guardian?

Right then, fierce Spiritual Energy flared up inside Dongling Immortal City. Using his Rank-5 Echoes in the Void to listen, Chen Mobai pinpointed Nascent Soul Cultivators clashing.

Two Nascent Souls were ganging up on Hong Yun.

“What nerve—they dare while I’m here!”

Dustless True Monarch unleashed his mighty Divine Sense, face darkening as he hurled an elixir at the fray.

Violet-gold radiance burst from Qian Yuan Tower’s peak, like a comet flashing over Dongling Immortal City, incinerating two hidden, masked Nascent Soul attackers to dust.

“Gratitude, True Monarch, for your aid and intervention!”

Hong Yun bowed toward the Qian Yuan Tower instantly. At his level, two Nascent Souls couldn’t overwhelm him, but leaving the tower, he’d felt over a dozen other Nascent Soul eyes and senses lock onto him.

Without Dustless True Monarch’s move, holding onto the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill today would’ve been a long shot.

“No Magic Duels allowed in Dongling Immortal City—offenders die on the spot!”

His stern decree, infused with immense Divine Sense, rang out over East Spirit Mountain. In that instant, Hong Yun deemed the Burning Heaven Meridians’ Cleansing World Pot a bargain.

Even if Dustless kept it, Hong Yun wouldn’t mind.

Shielded by a Deity Transformation True Monarch’s presence, Hong Yun reached his Dongling Immortal City residence unscathed and started prepping for his own Divinity Transformation path.

“Hope I didn’t embarrass myself before you, Friend Chen.”

Back in Qian Yuan Tower, elixir reclaimed, Dustless True Monarch sighed helplessly to Chen Mobai.

In Tianhe Realm, cultivators’ daring had no limits; greed pushed them to rob even with a Divinity Transformation nearby.

Chen Mobai now grasped why Dustless True Monarch insisted on escorting the three sect heads home.

Indeed, some cultivators would strike for the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill.

Ni Yuanzhong especially, since Nine Heavens Morality Sect lacked a Divinity Transformation guardian anymore, weakening its scare factor among peers.

“Guess I should watch my step on the way back too.”

Chen Mobai grinned, lightening the mood a touch.

“No loose cultivators would try that on you!”

Dustless True Monarch laughed heartily; in the East Continent, only Divinity Transformation foes could threaten Chen Mobai. Righteous Path pairs wouldn’t stoop to it, nor would East Li’s Flying Night Fiend trek this far.

Maybe the overseas Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court.

Three days on, the three sect leaders, eager for their Communicating Holy Spirit Pills, tied up business and vanished into the Teleportation Array alongside Dustless True Monarch.

After bidding them farewell, Chen Mobai lingered two more days. Then, fresh combat broke out at Hong Yun’s courtyard.

As a Righteous Deity Transformation, stepping in fell to him naturally.

But unexpectedly, Hong Yun had already fled, leaving a Fire Cloud Palace Nascent Soul Cultivator behind in the yard.
