I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2448 - 1091: (Part 4)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
She was fully aware that this chance stood as an unparalleled event in the ten-thousand-year legacy of the Nine Heavens Morality Sect.
She became the initial individual to hold back from any action as the Upper Realm Immortal Venerate arrived.
Should she harness this moment to reach Divinity Transformation, securing a lifespan of two thousand years, she might even surpass Qing Nu in endurance.
With a vision fixed on what lay ahead, Yuan Zhen clenched her teeth, pouring in the greatest diligence of her entire life during this stretch.
...
Eastern Wilderness.
Northern Abyss City, already packed with inhabitants, had surged into unprecedented vibrancy in recent days.
Following Chen Mobai’s triumph in Divinity Transformation, real estate costs within this Immortal City had skyrocketed several times higher.
Cultivators holding properties in Northern Abyss City had never dreamed of a way to multiply their fortunes so dramatically.
Shen Shanqing, who had shifted his primary business to real estate, even persuaded the two elders, Cannon Dragon and Cooking Phoenix, to dive into property dealings alongside their restaurant operations, boldly claiming that Northern Abyss City’s land values would climb at least tenfold over the coming century.
After all, this served as the core Immortal City of the Five Elements Sect, and considering Chen Mobai’s expertise in formations, it held potential for elevation to a Sixth Rank Spirit Vein someday.
Cannon Dragon and Cooking Phoenix carried out a thorough market check and saw firsthand how housing prices in Northern Abyss City exploded in a single month, exceeding the combined worth of a hundred Sky Meal Buildings, leaving them to lament not snapping up more assets.
With Chen Mobai’s Divinity Transformation, nearly every Nascent Soul force from East Land dispatched envoys bearing gifts while snapping up properties.
In the face of potential conflict between Righteous and Demon forces on East Land, they could seek shelter here.
Even Dao Morale Sect and Nine Heavens Morality Sect would withhold any interference.
After all, this fell under the domain of Immortal Venerate Chen.
The arrival of representatives from over a hundred Nascent Soul forces across East Land fueled one of the key drivers behind the explosive rise in Northern Abyss City’s housing prices.
Not limited to Northern Abyss City alone, every Immortal City governed by the Five Elements Sect—even the farthest-flung like East Wu—saw daily climbs in property values.
E Yun beamed with the most joy, as the Five Elements Sect’s coffers swelled by billions of Spirit Stones from real estate deals in merely one month.
Not only the Five Elements Sect’s cultivators but the whole East Continent had never witnessed such a phenomenon.
"Sect Master, even if we stormed a major Spirit Stone Mine and stripped it bare, the rush of Spirit Stones wouldn’t come this fast!"
E Yun rushed to share this joyful update with Chen Mobai, drawing a striking comparison.
"Wealth stirs the ambitions of many; tell Yu Lian to bolster defenses across all Immortal Cities and ward off any rogue cultivators from stirring trouble."
Chen Mobai responded with steady composure, recalling how the Immortal Gate had weathered similar eras that birthed real estate booms.
Besides, for him personally, ordinary Spirit Stones meant little, with only Supreme Grade ones meriting a spot in his Storage Bag.
Yet for fellow cultivators, such riches promised lifelong stability.
In Northern Abyss City, home to the densest gathering of the Five Elements Sect’s high-rank experts, worries were minimal, but in distant Immortal Cities like East Wu, East Barbarians, or the Ruins zones, rogue cultivators might resort to reckless moves.
Under Chen Mobai’s fresh policy, the bulk of Spirit Stones from local property sales stayed in place for regional growth.
"Understood, Sect Master. It’s an ideal chance to send out our sect’s Golden Core cultivators for guard duty, keeping them from idling in Northern Abyss City." E Yun absorbed the words and nodded in full agreement.
As Eastern Wilderness’s heart, Northern Abyss City boasted unmatched resources, bolstered by its Fifth Rank Spirit Vein, drawing most idle Golden Core cultivators from the Five Elements Sect to linger there absent pressing duties.
Once E Yun departed, Yin Qingmei made her way back from Dongling Immortal City.
Though reclamation efforts pressed on, news of Chen Mobai’s Divinity Transformation breakthrough had electrified every member of the Five Elements Sect. Lacking a direct Teleportation Array, she stepped in as representative only at this point.
"Congratulations, Sect Master, on attaining Divinity Transformation and a two-thousand-year lifespan!"
Flanked by Gu Yan, Yin Qingmei offered her formal well-wishes, and Chen Mobai grinned as he bade her rise, then asked after Dongling Domain’s affairs.
His swift Divinity Transformation outpaced expectations, leaving the final half-pill exchange for the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill—timed by Dustless True Monarch—still pending, so Xing Ji and Earth Virtue kept guiding disciples in pursuing Ruin Monsters.
Earth Virtue struck luck amid it all, clashing with a mid-fourth rank Golden-Backed Ape Monkey deep in the Ruins and wielding the Primordial Dao Fruit to unleash Yi Yuan Dao Body, felling the beast and edging ahead of Xing Ji.
Still, Xing Ji advanced reliably, steering Star Heaven Dao Sect’s Nascent Soul cultivators further into the Ruins to target fourth rank monsters as well.
This rivalry could only settle in the closing moments.
"Are they still vying for the lead?"
Chen Mobai caught the detail and paused thoughtfully.
Did this imply Red Cloud’s ambush came from elsewhere, not them?
Had it been their doing, each would hold a Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, prearranged to sidestep such cutthroat rivalry.
Then who might it be?
Red Cloud wielded formidable cultivation power, so vanishing without trace suggested... Divinity Transformation!?
The notion led Chen Mobai to ponder Dustless True Monarch.
Adapting to local ways, this figure topped the list of suspects.
Yet from a handful of encounters with Dustless True Monarch, Chen Mobai recognized that while the elder lacked flawless virtue, he embodied true righteousness and likely wouldn’t stoop to such deeds.
In that instant, Chen Mobai felt a ripple in his spirit and thoughts.
He detected Ye Qing’s aura nearby.
"Summon Brother Ye to join us!"
Chen Mobai directed Gu Yan, and soon Ye Qing stepped through the grand Transmission Array, joined by two fellow Nascent Soul Complete experts.
These must rank as the Nine Heavens Morality Sect’s top three beyond Divinity Transformation.
"Brother Chen!"
Ye Qing strode into the hall with Gu Yan, beaming a warm greeting.
"Take a seat. Might I learn the names of these two esteemed Dao friends?"
Chen Mobai returned the smile before turning his gaze to the opulently robed middle-aged man and the silver-haired elder at Ye Qing’s side.
"Wu Tianchi (Yuan Huanghu), it’s an honor to meet Immortal Ancestor Chen!"
No introduction from Ye Qing proved necessary; they promptly named themselves and bowed deeply to Chen Mobai.
"I’ve long known of your distinguished reputations—please, sit!"
Chen Mobai recognized the Nine Heavens Morality Sect’s leading Nascent Soul figures, particularly Yuan Huanghu as the Yuan family head and grand-nephew to Yuan Qingque.
"Our thanks, Immortal Ancestor Chen. This gift comes from our sect—kindly accept it!"
Yuan Huanghu offered a Storage Bag with reverent hands.
"How could I possibly take this...?"
Chen Mobai politely refused,
