I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2441 - 1090: Wishing the Sect Everlasting Existence
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Chen Mobai pulled back his fighting spirit, causing the Cinnabar Phoenix and Peacock hovering above to shift into a pair of Treasure Beads that blended seamlessly into the rear of his head and his torso.
In the end, the Azure Bird Dharma Aspect from his core Primordial Spirit emerged from the Thousand Swords Dharma Body. The latter's mighty presence instantly dropped to the Rank-4 stage and slowly faded away amid the skies and lands.
Due to Chen Mobai's swift breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit, the Nine Heavens Pure Qi drew from its past accumulations. It managed to unleash Rank-5 might beyond the Five Elements Sect this day, purely because his primary Primordial Spirit assumed control, compelling it upward to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Yuan Qingque watched the unfolding events and inwardly nodded, as if a memory stirred within him.
"Without your aid today, even if our sect endured this disaster, the toll would have been devastating..."
Yuan Qingque, already mulling over a suitable token of appreciation, voiced his sincere thanks to Chen Mobai while suspended in the heavens.
"Think nothing of it. Back when the Five Elements Sect struggled, it owed much to Brother Ye and Saintess Yuan's support. Yet, my timely arrival here today came through the efforts of my companions Cannon Dragon and Phoenix Cook at Sky Meal Building..."
As Chen Mobai spoke, his gaze dropped to Tongtian Peak, where he saluted Ye Qing with a distant cupped fist. He spotted the numerous Nascent Souls from the Nine Heavens Morality Sect eyeing him, their expressions brimming with appreciation and awe.
Clearly, following this clash, his influence across the Eastern Continent would soar to new heights.
Consequently, the Five Elements Sect would solidify its position among the Holy Lands of the Eastern Continent.
"Come, little friend, join us below."
Right then, Yuan Qingque extended an invitation for Chen Mobai to descend.
"I won't impose. Your sect's urgent duty now lies in managing the fallout. Plus, in the Eastern Wilderness, as I journeyed here, my Deity Transformation feast unfolded at Sky Meal Building. My fellow disciples await my return!"
Chen Mobai refused with a shake of his head.
This ordeal, though the Nine Heavens Morality Sect pulled through because of his involvement, had inflicted severe damages nonetheless.
Ni Yuanzhong, fresh from his Deity Transformation, hung onto life by a thread.
The mountain gate's Spirit Veins and Medicine Fields, despite the Large Formation's safeguarding, faced disruptions from the wild surges of ambient spiritual energy. Without swift remedies, the precious Spirit Plants in those fields could wilt or perish amid the chaos.
Furthermore, upon his arrival, Chen Mobai had witnessed the Tongtian Refining Road Tower breached, unleashing hordes of demonic beasts. The Nine Heavens Morality Sect must tackle this swiftly, lest it endanger all life in the East Land.
"Very well then, I won't detain you, little friend. Once our sect's matters settle, I'll send disciples with a lavish gift to express our thanks."
Yuan Qingque agreed with a nod, viewing Chen Mobai as untainted and noble, much like flawless jade.
If any other figure in the Eastern Continent had aided the Nine Heavens Morality Sect so profoundly, demands for rewards would surely follow. Yet he mentioned none and even departed with thoughtful consideration.
"I stepped in purely from friendship, so no repayment is necessary!"
Chen Mobai dismissed the offer with a broad wave, then, as though struck by a thought, drew a vial of Three Lights Divine Water from his Storage Bag.
"Saintess Yuan may not have acted, but as the conduit for your descent, her form surely bears wounds. I carry Three Lights Divine Water from Xing Ji's gift. Take it, senior, please."
Yuan Qingque took it readily, uncertain if the Nine Heavens Morality Sect retained any reserves of Three Lights Divine Water.
Should supplies run dry, acquiring more from the Star Heaven Dao Sect would prove too delayed.
"My thanks, little friend!"
Yuan Qingque offered thanks anew.
In that instant, he grasped why, prior to ascension, he perceived Yuan Zhen blessed with immense destiny.
It stemmed from forging a bond with a virtuous ally like Chen Mobai.
This incident spared Yuan Zhen from a prophesied doom, and moving forward, through this descent, he would harmonize fully with the Nine Heavens Dao Fruit, encountering no barriers at least up to Deity Transformation.
As Chen Mobai readied to leave, ripples stirred in the surrounding Power of Void, silver gleams erupted, and Da Kong True Monarch materialized abruptly.
"Well, little friend, you beat me here... And this Daoist companion seems unknown to me..."
Upon arrival via teleportation, Da Kong True Monarch first spotted Chen Mobai and "Yuan Zhen" aloft, surveyed the devastated Tongtian Peak ridges, and displayed clear surprise.
"Salutations, Senior Da Kong. This is Profound Heaven True Monarch."
Though puzzled by Da Kong True Monarch's tardiness, Chen Mobai offered a polite greeting and clarified "Yuan Zhen"'s current identity.
"Ah, Brother Xuan Tian!" Da Kong True Monarch's features registered astonishment, but comprehension soon dawned, prompting a subtle nod. "That explains how the White Bone Demon King and the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court’s True Spirits got turned away..."
"Junior Brother, you err—I stayed out of it. Little Friend Chen swooped in, severed the White Bone Demon King with a single blade, and gravely wounded the pair of Flood Dragons, forcing their retreat..."
Yuan Qingque hastened to correct him, gesturing toward the lingering bone dust, Dragon Blood, Dragon Scales, and remnants drifting in the air. The latter traces belonged to the juvenile Flood Dragon, almost felled by Chen Mobai’s Second Primordial Spirit.
Chen Mobai felt drawn to that Dragon Blood and Dragon Scales, being Rank-5 treasures, but as a Deity Transformation True Monarch now, with the Nine Heavens Morality Sect's many eyes upon him, claiming them would ill suit his dignity.
Still, as Yuan Qingque narrated the skirmish to Da Kong True Monarch, he casually summoned water to form a cauldron, gathering every bit of it.
