I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2412 - 1081: Gold-Red Immortal Flower (Part 4)

With Chen Mobai's direct involvement, the bulk of the Heavenly Tribulation Green Thunder's essence got drawn straight into his personal domain.

After gaining wisdom from the Ascension Sect leader, his domain now displays traits akin to the Law Domain, enabling him to pull in bits of essence from heaven and earth over a brief period, but only as much as his limits allow.

Handing this over to the Immortal Gate for the Qing Shuang Sword might just push it up to the mid-level of fifth rank.

Chen Mobai holds a strong bond with the folks and items that have stuck by him, so when he spotted the Heavenly Tribulation Green Thunder sparked by the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple, that idea hit him right away.

After seven full days, the nonstop green thunder pouring from the heavens starts to fade and disperse.

At the same moment, though, the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple hits its breaking point.

The Earth Mother Seal glows right at the middle of her forehead, and the ever-watchful Zhuo Ming fires off a quick alert to Chen Mobai. He reacts fast, unleashing the Rank-5 Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth once more, channeling it together with the collected earth energy from Zhuo Ming right into the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple. This helps the spiritual plant, which had dropped below the fifth rank from losing too much elemental power.

A blinding red flash erupts like never before, and the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple at last shatters its barrier, unleashing a cleaner, brighter spiritual glow.

As the fifth-rank aura surges skyward once more, the scattered Heavenly Tribulation up above gets roused instantly and rushes back to the middle.

A sharp, icy green beam takes shape in the heart of the pitch-black clouds overhead, like a divine sword of retribution slamming down onto the top of Mount Tianpeng.

Chen Mobai squints his eyes while the enormous Thousand Swords Dharma Body bursts up from the earth and towers over the mountain's peak.

By combining the Heaven Cutting Sword Domain with the Swords Slaughter Formation, the Purple Electric Sword turns into a dazzling streak of light and rockets upward, smashing into the Heavenly Tribulation green beam.

In the midst of the booming clash, every cultivator across the Eastern Wilderness senses the ground quaking and the Spirit Veins shuddering!

Is this some kind of quake?

Cultivators in the dark scratch their heads, since the Sky Curtain Ground Network's rollout, nothing like an earthquake has shaken the Eastern Wilderness.

But the insiders? They're gripped by sheer terror.

Even without Divinity Transformation, the raw power feels overwhelming; once Divinity Transformation actually kicks in, it could flip the whole Eastern Wilderness in a flash.

And knowing their own sect leader is the one pushing for Divinity Transformation fills the Five Elements Sect disciples with pride, as they stare at Mount Tianpeng with deeper awe.

Zhou Shengqing and his crew feel a knot of worry inside, but to not interrupt Chen Mobai's seclusion, they keep patrolling their Immortal Cities as Town Guards, pacing nervously while awaiting word from Mount Tianpeng.

With the final thread of Heavenly Tribulation green light smashed apart by Chen Mobai's Thousand Swords Dharma Body, a sharp snap echoes from the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple's trunk.

Cracks spiderweb across its old bark one by one, as if it's shifting and evolving, but even the core trunk starts splitting open too.

"Master, it can't handle the fifth-rank power!"

Zhuo Ming alerts Chen Mobai without delay; through All Things Spiritual Communication, she grasps the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple's state better than the plant itself does.

"The Heavenly Tribulation is over; the ascension succeeded, but the base feels shaky..."

Chen Mobai tunes into the void's Echoes in the Void and grasps the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple's condition in no time.

If nothing's done, it'd slough off all its bark and most of its trunk, holding onto just the purest core at fifth rank, then over countless years, slowly soaking up heavenly essence and fire spiritual power to rebuild bit by bit until it's a true fifth-rank spiritual plant.

That's how tough it is for spiritual plants to achieve the Tao.

Still, the stubborn vitality and strength of a spiritual plant shine through in moments like this.

For a human cultivator at this stage, it'd spell total failure in Divinity Transformation.

But the spiritual plant pulls through by giving up most of its trunk to lock in fifth rank, then relies on time to regrow.

Chen Mobai catches a faint glimpse of understanding, but his hands keep moving without pause.

The Second Primeval Spirit emerges from behind his head, hovering over the fracturing Five-Cornered Ancient Maple, and unleashes the Blooming Moment.

From the Second Primeval Spirit's palms flows a vibrant divine light, like a cascade of rainbow droplets sprinkling across the spiritual plant's sections. Yet these drops act like little embers, sparking a blaze of multicolored flames over the plant.

Before long, the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple's changes freeze up, and Zhuo Ming picks up on its essence starting to gather non-stop, blending with the colorful divine light to sprout Immortal Flowers in all sorts of hues along the trunk.

As Blooming Moment keeps going, the gold and red flowers multiply, beginning to absorb the other colored Immortal Flowers.

In the end, the whole Five-Cornered Ancient Maple fades away from Mount Tianpeng's peak, replaced by a single Immortal Flower of blended golden-red, twisted in a dual spiral.

This shade doesn't line up with Shi Qing's original description.

She said Blooming Moment ought to yield an Immortal Flower in nine colors.

That said, since the Flower Bloom Courtyard lineage rarely gets to try this forbidden art, examples are slim.

When Master Chengxuan formed the Fire Spirit Tree back then, its bloomed Immortal Flower burned with fiery red.

So based on Yuan Xu's studies, the Immortal Flower's hue from Blooming Moment ties back to the spiritual plant itself.

Chen Mobai eyes the golden-red Immortal Flower born from the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple, sensing his flawless Innate Pure Yang Qi stirring within, leaving him stunned.

This reaction shows the Immortal Flower meshes perfectly with his Pure Yang Scroll, enough to rouse the Pure Yang Qi.

Of course, it might also stem from Chen Mobai using a forbidden technique on a fifth-rank Five-Cornered Ancient Maple; after all, neither Immortal Gate nor Flower Bloom Courtyard records mention using fifth-rank spiritual plants as the base.

With that in mind, Chen Mobai extends his hands with gravity and picks the golden-red Immortal Flower.

"Congratulations, Master!"

Zhuo Ming detects the Immortal Flower's special aura, like it holds deep secrets of the Great Tao, holding sway over the earth network spanning thousands of miles; via All Things Spiritual Communication, she realizes this matches the Spirit Veins the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple once directed.

At the same time, the Earth Mother Seal on Zhuo Ming's forehead dims, as if the golden-red Immortal Flower's Great Tao link overwhelms her, even spinning her head.

"Cut the All Things Spiritual Communication link..."

As Chen Mobai instructs, he tucks the golden-red Immortal Flower into his domain.

Once sealed away, Zhuo Ming snaps back to normal, and her forehead's Earth Mother Seal begins to shine again.

Not long after, Qing Nu shows up with the little Yellow Dragon Girl, after getting Chen Mobai's summons.

Chen Mobai had recorded the full process of the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple's breakthrough, and Qing Nu views it eagerly, then inspects the Immortal Flower herself, confirming it's at least as potent as the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, and maybe even better thanks to its perfect fit with Chen Mobai.

"Ming’er, head out with your mistress; I've got to enter seclusion here, and it'll probably last a good while!"

After Qing Nu shares the outside world's stir during the Heavenly Tribulation Green Thunder, Chen Mobai chooses Mount Tianpeng as his spot for Divinity Transformation seclusion.

Once Qing Nu and Zhuo Ming leave, he casts one final glance over the Eastern Wilderness and activates Turtle Treasure, heading back to Immortal Gate.
