I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2410 - 1081: Gold-Red Immortal Flower (Part 2)

In the Eastern Wilderness, every Great Holy Land stands guarded by a sixth-rank great array, backed by deep-rooted foundations, positioning the Five Elements Sect and the Burning Heaven Meridians as the prime objectives in the Demon Path's assault.

Yet, once Chen Mobai unveiled his deity transformation-level battle prowess, the Burning Heaven Meridians are bound to draw the bulk of the attention.

It's unclear if Hong Yun will get the opportunity to swallow that breakthrough elixir.

Qing Nu: "Thanks to the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, even a deity transformation powerhouse can't breach it without effort—don't worry."

Chen Mobai: "Should we face a formidable foe, like forces from the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, we might need to give up the East Barbarians or even East Wu, so we can tightly secure our core stronghold in the Eastern Wilderness and await my arrival."

With these issues settled in their talk, sensing the parting could drag on for ages, the duo surrendered to a deeply craved spell of closeness.

A handful of days afterward, as Qing Nu appeared somewhat drained, Chen Mobai climbed aboard the Yellow Dragon and flew off toward Mount Tianpeng.

"Greetings, Master, Mistress!"

Zhuo Ming extended a respectful welcome to the pair upon their landing from above.

"Here's a present from the Dongling Domain meant for you..."

As Chen Mobai stepped down from the Yellow Dragon's back, he offered a storage bag to Zhuo Ming, packed with a hefty chunk of Civet Power's flesh.

"This comes from a fifth-rank true spirit. Prepare it well; the earth true power inside can push your Ninefold Law Body forward, potentially straight to full completion."

Zhuo Ming's Ninefold Law Body had lingered at the seventh layer for quite some time, largely because she'd poured efforts into the Earth Immortality Scripture and helped Chen Mobai, plus the Eastern Wilderness lacked fitting resources for this body-tempering method.

In the end, pushing the Ninefold Law Body further to the eighth layer meant hitting fourth-rank body forging, on par with the Nascent Soul Realm.

The Five Elements Sect's fourth-rank spirit rice had only ripened in these recent years, and for that breakthrough, besides the rice, a range of blood-and-qi boosting foods proved vital.

Still, no fourth-rank demonic beasts roamed the Eastern Wilderness, leaving Zhuo Ming to rely on routine herbal soaks for tempering and the occasional blood-qi pills whipped up by Qing Nu.

Armed with Civet Power's meat, her advancement was sure to come swiftly and smoothly.

"Thank you, Master!"

Joy lit up Zhuo Ming's face as she accepted the storage bag.

Reaching fourth-rank body forging ahead of Nascent Soul Formation, paired with the Infant-Feeding Elixir and similar aids, would virtually guarantee her success in forming the Nascent Soul.

"Once you've gone through this batch, there's loads more available; just head to the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion to claim it."

Qing Nu flashed a warm smile at Zhuo Ming, since Chen Mobai had already handed over Civet Power's full corpse to her care.

Upon hearing that, Zhuo Ming expressed fresh gratitude to Qing Nu, and soon the women delved into chats about preparing the fifth-rank true spirit meat—a total novelty for the Eastern Wilderness, where even the Immortal Gate held no clues or know-how on such matters.

"You could seek advice from the top cooks at the Sky Meal Building."

Chen Mobai suggested, noting how the Sky Meal Building in the East Continent carried an ancient heritage, complete with recipes for fifth-rank materials, all tied to their food-based cultivation paths.

"That might mean reaching out to the head chefs in the East Land, or perhaps the two Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Sky Meal Building."

Over these years, Qing Nu had grown at ease with the region's ways, grasping how precious such expertise was; the Eastern Wilderness surely lacked fifth-rank cooking methods, just as Shen Shanqing did.

"Inviting them could work; you've got Civet Power right there as bait, and I figure those Dragon and Phoenix allies would jump at the chance..."

As a partner to both the Five Elements Sect and the Sky Meal Building, Chen Mobai had racked up several debts, such as the Sea Soul Agate that aided Fu Zongjue's shift to Legal Body Nascent Soul; this fifth-rank true spirit meat could settle some of that score.

At those words, Qing Nu gave a soft nod, intending to extend a proper invitation to the Sky Meal Building's two Nascent Soul Ancestors once they left Mount Tianpeng, so they could whip up and savor the fifth-rank true spirit delicacy.

"It's a shame the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple hasn't quite hit fourth-rank peak yet..."

At this point, Chen Mobai stood atop the mountain near the spirit plant he'd tended; its robust limbs and foliage evoked raging flames, laced with gold and crimson hues, and a gust of autumn breeze stirred a dense, eye-catching red haze from the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple's limbs.

This marked the finest fire spiritual power, drawn in and refined by the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple to fifth-rank purity.

Chen Mobai pulled his hand back from the trunk, feeling how far it still lagged from fourth-rank peak, and let out a faint sigh.

That said, for someone like him, hanging back a few more years wasn't necessary; should this Five-Cornered Ancient Maple fall short of the breakthrough, it could still transform into an immortal flower at full bloom, though its effects would pale a bit.

"Ming’er, I'm set to try ’Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth’—give it one last tweak."

Chen Mobai beckoned to Zhuo Ming, who hurried over to link up with the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple.

On this day, the spirit plant had braced itself long ago and even buzzed with keen expectation.

Long in the past, it had charred to ash under heavenly tribulation during a fifth-rank attempt, and without Chen Mobai and his followers' intervention, its existence would have faded entirely.

Now, with foundations even sturdier than last time, it hungered to shatter that barrier once more.

"Master, all set!"

As Zhuo Ming spoke, she snipped three limbs from the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple to pot as saplings.

Post-bloom, this Five-Cornered Ancient Maple would fade into legend, yet Zhuo Ming dreamed of blanketing peaks and vales with blazing red maples—not only on Mount Tianpeng, but across every fire spiritual vein in the Eastern Wilderness.
