I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2442 - 1090: May the Sect Endure for Eternity (Part 2)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
While Chen Mobai pondered why Yuan Qingque, a respected Ascended Monk, acted so thriftily, the latter passed him an item.
She signaled that these items served as Chen Mobai's battle spoils, and he ought to claim them.
In his mind, Chen Mobai gave a quiet nod, refusing to feign humility, and took them without delay.
"Hiss... Young friend, truly deserving of being a Sword Cultivator!"
After listening to Yuan Qingque's description, Da Kong True Monarch drew in a sharp breath, drawing from his vast experience.
To put it simply, he had depended solely on the wondrous spells from Taixu MiaoMiao Palace to fend off the White Bone Demon King and the ancient Flood Dragon.
Chen Mobai, fresh into the Spirit Transformation Stage, had already outdone his thousand years of cultivation, leaving Da Kong True Monarch both stunned and embarrassed.
"Oh no, I only slew the White Bone Demon King. The old Flood Dragon's withdrawal from the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court owed mostly to the two Supreme Treasures of the Nine Heavens Morality Sect."
Once he stowed away his gains, Chen Mobai set the facts straight, never one to steal glory that wasn't his.
Though in a drawn-out fight he wouldn't dread the pair of Flood Dragons, the old one's escape stemmed chiefly from Yuan Qingque directing the Nine Heavens Morality Sect to shatter the Dingyuan Sea Suppressing Bead.
"It was also tough on Junior Brother Da Kong to make it here..."
Right then, Yuan Qingque voiced his thanks to Da Kong True Monarch. Though the latter arrived tardily, he had shown up nonetheless.
"Brother Xuan Tian is too gracious. This round, I got held up by the Demon Path's schemes." Da Kong True Monarch clearly worried Yuan Qingque might misjudge his delay, so he quickly clarified, "In East Li, the Jade Mirror Demon Sect offered up hundreds of thousands of lives in a blood ritual, plus the righteous cultivators they'd seized earlier, to call forth the Blood Moon and boost Diao Xianlan’s Divinity Transformation. I picked up on this from the border Immortal City and dashed over to halt it, only to find it was a trick to draw me off. Once I grasped the crisis here, I hurried back at full speed..."
Once Da Kong True Monarch wrapped up his words, Yuan Qingque gave a soft nod in acknowledgment, then asked with deep concern, "What's the current state of Diao Xianlan?"
Should the Demon Path claim another Spirit Transformation expert, it spelled trouble for the Righteous Path.
"Thanks to my arrival, I swiftly broke the Blood Moon Sacrifice, and my double rings pulverized Diao Xianlan’s body. Yet her Nascent Soul shifted into a Blood God and fused with the Blood Moon overhead..."
Da Kong True Monarch recounted the events in East Li.
The Jade Mirror Demon Sect’s Blood Moon Sacrifice carried a grim reputation across the Righteous Path in that region.
It harnessed the essence from a massive blood offering of lives to invoke the Blood Moon from beyond, a legacy Dao Fruit from an ancient demon who had long fled this world, forging a pocket realm in Heaven Beyond Heavens out of dread toward ascending to the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm.
Whenever enough lives fueled the blood sacrifice, the Blood Moon would manifest, bringing down the might of the Great Dao to propel Demon Path cultivators through their breakthroughs.
Naturally, within the Demon Path, every bargain hid a snare.
Post-breakthrough via the Blood Moon Sacrifice, the majority fell under the Blood Demon's sway, their minds shattered as they turned into Blood Gods, ready to serve the ancient demon in the heavens.
Just a rare handful could shatter that hold and evolve into a Blood Transformation Sky Demon.
"The Tianhe Realm faces massive upheavals soon; the curbs on void cultivation will slowly ease, and when that happens, those ancient demons wandering Heaven Beyond Heavens could invade the Tianhe Realm ahead of us..."
In that moment, Yuan Qingque shared a revelation that left Chen Mobai reeling.
"Oh, have the mighty forces of the Upper Realm agreed on this?"
Da Kong True Monarch clearly held some insider knowledge, being a Divinity Transformation cultivator from Taixu MiaoMiao Palace after all.
"Just awaiting the Generation Emperor to set the seal!"
With those words from Yuan Qingque, he offered no more details.
Chen Mobai itched to probe the real truths of the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm, but Da Kong True Monarch was already taking his leave.
"Congrats on reaching Spirit Transformation, young friend. I still have unfinished matters in East Li to sort, but once I'm free, let's meet up with Junior Brother Dustless for a grand feast."
As he departed, Da Kong True Monarch made sure to offer his congratulations to Chen Mobai.
"Sounds good."
After escorting Da Kong True Monarch away, Chen Mobai shifted to speak with Ye Qing.
"Brother Ye, I'll head out now. Call on me anytime you need help."
Ye Qing gave a firm nod at those words and responded, "Thank you!"
"No need for formalities between buddies."
Chen Mobai offered a light smile, extending his Divine Sense to pinpoint his target, then executed Void Teleportation, turning into a silver beam that blinked out of sight.
This display caught Yuan Qingque off guard a bit.
After all, the Void Instantaneous Movement Technique stood as a signature of Taixu MiaoMiao Palace.
Though the Void Law Body was common knowledge, as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Yuan Qingque grasped the Void far beyond Spirit Transformation levels. Chen Mobai’s teleport left no haze or spark, outshining the basic Void-stepping from the Void Law Body’s arts.
Recalling Chen Mobai's entrance earlier, where he had instantly emerged from the Void to rescue Ni Yuanzhong prior to Yuan Qingque's own move, the latter sensed a spark of astonishment.
He speculated whether Chen Mobai had truly comprehended the Void Great Dao!
If so, given this junior's gifts, he could sail through to Harmonization without hitting any walls.
As an Ascended Monk, Yuan Qingque knew full well that void cultivation's gateway hinged on piercing the Void's veil.
With that thought, he realized the gift he had in mind earlier now felt a touch too modest.
Chen Mobai, of course, had no clue that his routine use of teleportation for journeys had boosted Yuan Qingque's regard for him even higher.
