I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2460 - 1094:
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Observing the sound transmission between Chen Mobai and Qing Nu, Yuan Zhen felt an unexplained unease stirring within her, making her reluctant to linger in Eastern Wilderness any longer.
"Wouldn't this impose too great a burden on Saintess Yuan?"
Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn't help but admire the Holy Land's vast resources once more. Merely delivering immortal spirit energy to him involved deploying two Rank-5 magic artifacts.
Yet with them alternating shifts, it wouldn't disrupt his cultivation progress at all—clearly, the Nine Heavens Morality Sect had considered everything carefully.
"The True Monarch rescued my life; even if I dedicate my entire existence to shuttling immortal spirit energy across the realms, it would barely scratch the surface of my gratitude..."
Yuan Zhen declared this with utmost seriousness.
Having accepted numerous treasures from the Nine Heavens Morality Sect, Chen Mobai viewed his debt to them as fully settled, yet she still believed her obligations remained unfulfilled.
"Saintess Yuan, please don't see it that way. Without your intervention, the Five Elements Sect and Master Bing Yun could have wiped each other out. Among allies, offering aid is simply the natural course."
Chen Mobai believed matters between him and the Nine Heavens Morality Sect were now even; his act of saving Yuan Zhen had only balanced the scales of old favors.
Yuan Zhen's ears caught these words without argument, a faint smile gracing her lips as she resolved to etch this benevolence into her memory eternally.
"Allow me to join you; I have affairs to attend and must head to Mount Wudi anyway."
Chen Mobai suggested, having lingered in Northern Abyss City for ages mainly to await the arrival of this immortal spirit energy.
With Yuan Zhen bringing it now, he could finally tie up the remaining loose ends in the Tianhe Realm.
Then, it would be time to head back to the Immortal Gate.
"Oh, does the True Monarch intend to flatten Mount Wudi?"
Yuan Zhen's gaze sparkled at the mention. She was aware of the strained ties between the Five Elements Sect and Yi Yuan Dao Palace; back in East Land, conflicts had nearly erupted. It was only through Ni Yuanzhong and Shenxi's mediation, plus Earth Virtue's willingness to swallow his pride for Divinity Transformation, that a fragile peace held.
And with Chen Mobai now attaining Divinity Transformation, by the principles she was raised with, it was the moment to crush his rival in Yi Yuan Dao Palace.
"Heaven cherishes life above all; should Earth Virtue bow his head again, I'm prepared to spare him a way forward."
Chen Mobai shook his head, his primary purpose at Mount Wudi actually to back Chen Lingming and Xiao Yuli, enabling them to seize their deserved places.
And maybe claim the Primordial Clock as well.
If Earth Virtue dared to protest amid this, Chen Mobai wouldn't hesitate to let him taste the overwhelming might of the principal lineage's Sect Master's Divinity Transformation.
"A divine relic like the Primordial Clock rightfully belongs to a worthy soul such as the True Monarch."
Yuan Zhen absorbed his words with a touch of letdown, having secretly wished to lend her strength if he struck, so they could battle together briefly.
"The two disciple-nephews and Elder Su have shown up; let's depart as a group."
Chen Mobai spotted three streams of Primordial Spirit Light touching down beyond the main hall just then, a smile playing on his face as he stepped out alongside Yuan Zhen.
Going forward, Chen Lingming and Xiao Yuli would lead within Yi Yuan Dao Palace, while Su Ziluo coordinated with them.
Originating from Yi Yuan Dao Palace, they understood the Holy Land's inner workings intimately.
The group of five swiftly traversed the grand transmission array, materializing in Nine Heavens Immortal City.
Chen Mobai courteously turned down Yuan Zhen's offer to ascend the Tongtian Refining Road Tower's summit, instead teleporting straight to Yi Yuan Immortal City with Su Ziluo and the rest.
"Welcome, Sect Master!"
No sooner had they emerged from the teleportation array than Chen Mobai caught Lian Shui's booming voice. Alongside this Nascent Soul Cultivator, two thousand strong of cultivators arranged in formation, fluttering vibrant banners and magic artifacts to form a vibrant spectacle.
The sight struck Chen Mobai as a bit odd.
In truth, he hadn't anticipated it, given that Yi Yuan Dao Palace still presented itself as the Eastern Earth Holy Land; such fawning welcome carried a hint of embarrassment.
"Elder Lian Shui, your hospitality overwhelms!"
Despite his thoughts, Chen Mobai refrained from protesting, as the display honored him directly.
Besides, deep down, witnessing Yi Yuan Dao Palace's submission filled him with a profound, wordless satisfaction.
Henceforth, the Five Elements Sect stood unchallenged as the Eastern Continent's Holy Land.
This gesture from Yi Yuan Dao Palace affirmed the Five Elements Sect's status as the true main lineage.
Within Yi Yuan Immortal City, aside from Yi Yuan Dao Palace's own members, merchants from Eastern Land's prominent powers thrived, as it ranked among the Seven Great Immortal Cities.
These onlookers perceived Yi Yuan Dao Palace's deference to Chen Mobai, the Divinity Transformation True Monarch, as falling short.
For only Lian Shui, an outer sect Nascent Soul Elder, had appeared; ideally, representatives from Mount Wudi ought to descend, perhaps even greeting him beforehand at Nine Heavens Immortal City.
Yet this held no concern for Chen Mobai; he wasn't the type to fuss over appearances—real gains were what counted.
"Elder Lian Shui, come along and observe."
Chen Mobai extended the invitation, fully aware that Lian Shui yearned to swear loyalty, ready to surrender his elder role in Yi Yuan Dao Palace.
He alluded to it subtly, and Lian Shui nodded in agreement, ready to guide the Sect Master ahead.
A subtle smile crossed Chen Mobai's face as he eyed the far-off Mount Wudi, then flicked his sleeves with ease, soaring on Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo while carrying everyone to the mountain entrance.
The gates stood ajar, Earth Virtue and Wood Virtue positioned side by side to receive him.
As Chen Mobai alighted from the skies with his entourage, including Lian Shui, Wood Virtue's face flickered with subtle shift, while Earth Virtue acted oblivious, offering a courteous bow: "Greetings, Sect Master True Monarch; forgive our delay in coming to greet you."
Once grounded, Chen Mobai employed his Tongtian Zhi and Yingdi Ling realms to probe the Sixth Rank Great Array of Mount Wudi, giving a soft nod.
At his current cultivation, confronting the Sixth Rank Great Array allowed him to vaguely spot its weaknesses, permitting entry via Void Evasion Technique.
Still, Mount Wudi's ultimate peril, the Primordial Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder, barely troubled him.
After refining the Primordial Bead, he could convert all that chaotic elemental extinction divine thunder in the earth veins back to pure primal Five Element Spiritual Energy before Earth Virtue could activate it.
"Shouldn't Brother Earth Virtue be clashing with Xing Ji in the Dongling Domain? How did you find time to come back?"
Spotting Earth Virtue, Chen Mobai put on a show of astonishment in his question.
Earth Virtue responded: "The Sect Master's matters take precedence; everything else fades in comparison."
Wood Virtue and Lian Shui, recalling Water Virtue's posting to the Dongling Domain, almost took his claim at face value.
"Hahaha, Brother Earth Virtue's talents seem wasted overseeing Yi Yuan Dao Palace."
Chen Mobai burst into laughter upon hearing that.
"I merely guided the sect through turbulent times; with Elder Wu and the Palace Master here, I'd rather seclude myself in the peaks for quiet cultivation, never stepping out."
Earth Virtue uttered these lines, after which Chen Mobai offered a faint smile before stating his visit's purpose.
"Perfect timing, then. I feel Nephew Chen and Nephew Xiao are prepared for their duties—let them assume the roles of the new generation's Dao Palace Great Elder and Palace Master. Your thoughts?"
His declaration left the trio briefly speechless, grasping the true reason for his arrival.
"As the Sect Master wills!"
Earth Virtue let out a sigh, bowing his head low.
