I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2405 - 1080: Mystic Fusion of All Transformations

Chen Mobai had a general grasp of why Xing Ji had come to see him. Given the impressive count of Nascent Soul Cultivators in the Five Elements Sect, the role of the Three Lights Divine Water proved crucial, so he dispatched Han Zhiling to welcome the visitor.

"Salutations, True Monarch!"

Once inside, Xing Ji offered a respectful bow before passing a jade box over to Han Zhiling.

Noting that Xing Ji hadn't shown up without anything, Chen Mobai gave a subtle nod of satisfaction in his thoughts, yet he kept his words courteous: "Now that you're here, no gift is necessary. It seems overly ceremonial."

As he spoke, Chen Mobai's Divine Sense scanned the area, revealing two bottles of Three Lights Divine Water inside the jade box, which brought a faint smile to his lips. He rose to his feet, gesturing for Xing Ji to take a seat, and directed Han Zhiling to brew some premium tea.

"True Monarch, the primary purpose of my trip today is to request your help."

Aware that Chen Mobai preferred directness, Xing Ji got straight to the point right after settling down.

At this stage, the final Communicating Holy Spirit Pill remained contested solely between him and Earth Virtue. By the established norms, Xing Ji felt assured of outdoing Earth Virtue, though he worried the rival might ignore those norms entirely.

In the Dongling Domain right now, with the Four Great Holy Lands at the helm, all Rank-4 Monsters had been cleared out. In principle, Xing Ji led Earth Virtue by more than two million Dao Coins, and since the Star Heaven Dao Sect drew in greater numbers of Golden Core Cultivators, this advantage was set to grow even larger as time passed.

However, a cleared Dongling Domain didn't imply the same for the Ruins.

Since Earth Virtue had brought up the issue before two God Transformation experts, Xing Ji suspected he might rally the top talents from Yi Yuan Dao Palace beyond the Dongling Domain to delve into the Ruins and pursue Rank-4 Monsters.

After all, Earth Virtue had reached Nascent Soul Complete and held the Primordial Dao Fruit as well. With some fortune, he could take down a Fourth Rank Superior Grade Monster, rendering the Star Heaven Dao Sect's hunts for lesser monsters in Dongling Domain utterly insignificant by comparison.

Therefore, Xing Ji's purpose in coming was to urge Chen Mobai to alter the rules, limiting Dao Coin earnings to monsters slain only within Dongling Domain.

"This request is completely out of the question."

But Chen Mobai rejected it outright.

In the same breath, he handed back the jade box that Xing Ji had presented.

It wasn't a matter of Chen Mobai favoring Earth Virtue; rather, pulling this off would demand the Dao Morale Sect's consent, given their role in distributing Dao Coins in return for monster materials from the Ruins.

To the Dao Morale Sect, a bunch of low-rank monsters paled in value against even one high-rank beast, so they eagerly pushed Nascent Soul Cultivators from Dongling Domain to head out and target more of those elite monsters.

Forget about the Dao Morale Sect yielding to Chen Mobai's influence; tweaking this rule would spark endless conflicts down the line.

For example, determining if a killed monster originated from Dongling Domain.

High-rank monsters were simpler to confirm, but low-rank ones roamed freely throughout the Ruins. At present, massive monster packs had been wiped out inside Dongling Domain, with groups like the Five Elements Sect mobilizing forces to push further into the Ruins' depths.

Changing the rule would delight only Xing Ji, leaving every other cultivator in Dongling Domain thoroughly dissatisfied.

Just two shares of Three Lights Divine Water fell short of motivating Chen Mobai to intervene.

If it involved the formula for refining Three Lights Divine Water, then talks might proceed.

"True Monarch, I've learned from Junior Brother Xing Chen that our sect holds vast fields of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice in the Eastern Wilderness Domain. I'm prepared to offer them to you early, in honor of your triumphant ascent to immortality and two thousand years of extended life!"

Xing Ji knew full well that his ask outweighed the initial gift, so he proposed an even more lavish one.

"A true gentleman avoids seizing others' possessions, and once reaching Divine Transformation, one should focus on void cultivation without too many worldly ties. I value your kindness, Xing Ji."

Since the offering didn't align with supporting Xing Ji's cause, it stayed as simple courtesy. Though Chen Mobai coveted those vast Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice fields, eyeing the Eastern Wilderness's final unclaimed land outside the Five Elements Sect's grasp, he still deemed its worth insufficient to back Xing Ji on this issue.

"True Monarch, per my pact with Sect Master Shenxi, should I achieve immortality via the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, I'll deliver the refining formula for Three Lights Divine Water, and as a Holy Land, your sect could make a copy."

Xing Ji brought up yet another term, even though the original deal had barred the Five Elements Sect. With Chen Mobai now upholding the Yi Yuan Orthodoxy, Xing Ji figured this could sway him.

"In that case, I hope you succeed in your ascent to immortality. That said, I'd rather study your sect's prized immortal book jade slip..."

Hearing this, Chen Mobai responded with a half-teasing grin.

The deal between Xing Ji and Shenxi included a fallback: if Xing Ji couldn't ascend using the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, he'd have to share the immortal book jade slip on Three Lights Divine Water for the Holy Lands to study.

With his mastery of the Realm of the Law of the Five Tones, Chen Mobai boasted superior insight, confident he could unravel secrets that eluded generations of Star Heaven Dao Sect ancestors.

"But the deal's condition is that I take the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill first!"

Xing Ji pointed out, noting that while the Three Lights Divine Water formula held great worth to a Holy Land, it wasn't indispensable.

In truth, Holy Lands required Three Lights Divine Water for Nascent Soul breakthroughs, and the Star Heaven Dao Sect wouldn't refuse to provide it.
