I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2465 - 1096: Dividing the Dao Fruit
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Upon his return to the Five Elements Sect, Chen Mobai efficiently took care of several sect affairs.
Having broken through to Divinity Transformation, certain steps he once avoided because of the Eastern Earth Holy Land could now be pursued without restraint.
Such as the Dragon Pulse.
"This latest version of the Five Elements Law works well, yet it falls short of the perfect Great Unity realm."
Chen Mobai offered guidance to his disciple Jiang Zongheng, who had assisted him over the years in cultivating the Nine Virtues of the Holy King, while also weaving in his own insights drawn from the evolving society in the Eastern Wilderness Mortal World.
His goal was to build a society of Great Unity.
Chen Mobai supported this ambition too, encouraging Jiang Zongheng to carve out his unique path.
"Master, what further changes should we make?"
Jiang Zongheng inquired with respect. Throughout the years, even as he explored the practice of the Nine Virtues of the Holy King, he recognized it as the optimal civilization and system for the Eastern Wilderness. Under its framework, society would thrive in stability, homes left open at night without fear, lost goods ignored on roadsides, ushering in an era of peace never seen before.
With Chen Mobai's Divinity Transformation achievement, this peaceful time could endure for no less than a millennium. Jiang Zongheng, drawing from current population trends, estimated that within roughly a century, the mortal population under the Five Elements Sect would match the Eastern Emperor Court's height.
By that point, the Dragon Pulse would gain spiritual awareness, potentially evolving into an unmatched super Dragon Pulse across this East Continent.
"Consider eliminating the Emperor's role," Chen Mobai proposed.
Jiang Zongheng's eyes bulged in shock.
Among the myriad concepts he devised for forging a Great Unity society, this idea had never crossed his mind.
Is abolishing the Emperor truly possible?
Jiang Zongheng yearned to probe deeper, yet just then, Chen Mobai extracted a vibrant green seed from the Fruit of Dao’s Rule within his Crown of Heaven and Earth.
"This is the Seed of Dao Law."
Jiang Zongheng remained puzzled, though he sensed deep down that this seed held immense significance for him.
"Thank you, Master!"
As Jiang Zongheng accepted the Seed of Dao Law with cupped hands, Chen Mobai produced a Jade Slip and etched his insights on the Taoist Laws Sure-book onto it.
At the Immortal Gate, selections occurred early due to the regulations, allowing the Seed of Dao Law to foster compatibility in chosen individuals.
Now, the Dao Law fruit that Chen Mobai had nurtured in the Eastern Wilderness, while not as refined as the Immortal Gate's, had ripened fully and qualified as a Dao Fruit.
Should Jiang Zongheng manage to germinate and cultivate the Seed of Dao Law, then upon reaching Nascent Soul Formation, Chen Mobai would bestow upon him this Fruit of Dao’s Rule.
"The world truly holds such wondrous cultivation techniques!"
Once Jiang Zongheng scanned the Jade Slip he held, amazement struck him. His entire cultivation journey had centered on purifying spiritual energy and bolstering his power.
Yet the Fruit of Dao’s Rule revealed to him a superior tier of grand Tao cultivation beyond Nascent Soul.
"This comes from one of the Dao Fruits I formed. Of my four disciples, you stand the best chance of refining it. Still, all benefits from this Dao Fruit remain confined to the Five Elements Sect..."
Chen Mobai detailed the limitations of the Fruit of Dao’s Rule for Jiang Zongheng, who promptly bowed deeply without a second thought.
"Master guides me into the grand Tao cultivation; your disciple is profoundly thankful!"
Jiang Zongheng grasped full well that despite the Fruit of Dao’s Rule's territorial bounds, every Five Elements Sect member would eagerly grasp the opportunity to refine it.
After all, it offered a direct route to Divinity Transformation.
"Cultivating Dao Law demands no rush. Study it carefully over time. Should questions arise, seek me out after my seclusion ends."
As Jiang Zongheng had merely attained Core Formation, Chen Mobai refrained from delving into every detail, instead providing a general overview of Dao Law cultivation and urging him to build greater harmony with the Fruit of Dao’s Rule.
"Understood, Master!"
Once Jiang Zongheng departed the grand hall, he headed straight for the mortal king's city.
Chen Mobai also mentored Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming, with special attention to the latter, whose Ninefold Law Body and cultivation showed breakthrough potential following her intake of Civet Power flesh.
Almost three decades prior, Zhuo Ming had reached Core Formation Late Stage. Despite her duties in aiding Chen Mobai to revive East Wu and manage the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple, her progress in cultivation never lagged.
She consistently drew support from pure earth energy at her base for practice, ensuring steady advancement despite the Yellow Emperor’s Benevolence Scripture's deliberate pace.
Should she break through successfully now, she could form True Qi and gear up for Nascent Soul Formation.
With command over the Primordial Bead and insight into the Five Elements Great Dao at Divinity Transformation, Chen Mobai directed Zhuo Ming's cultivation with ease.
"Once you form your Nascent Soul, I'll grant you this Earth Element Dao Fruit."
After displaying the Earth Element Great Dao, Chen Mobai drew the Dao Fruit back into his Primordial Bead and informed Zhuo Ming. Realizing the "Dao Fruit's" worth, Zhuo Ming beamed with joy, voicing her thanks multiple times.
Earlier, since Chen Mobai had only embarked on the Fire Great Dao, he retained the full Five Elements Dao Fruit for deeper study. But with his Primordial Bead now infused with the Five Elements Dao Fruit's core, holding it primarily amplified power without aiding further breakthroughs.
Thus, Chen Mobai intended to employ the Yi Yuan Dao Palace’s Secret Technique to split this Five Elements Dao Fruit.
Among the portions, the Water Element Dao Fruit went to Qing Nu, Earth Element to Zhuo Ming, Wood Element to Yin Qingmei, and Gold Element to Mo Douguang.
Zhou Ye faced a slight regret, as the Earth Element Dao Fruit suited him well. Yet in Chen Mobai's view, even a hundred Zhou Yes paled against Zhuo Ming.
Still, Zhou Ye held potential. If Zhuo Ming later attained Divinity Transformation, the Dao Fruit would mirror its current irrelevance to Chen Mobai.
Whether Zhou Ye could endure until then remained unclear.
After Zhuo Ming entered seclusion, Chen Mobai used a Secret Technique to isolate the Water Element Dao Fruit and presented it to Qing Nu.
"This comes from the Longevity Sect's ancestors. As you cultivate the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture, the Dao Fruit's aid will surely simplify grasping Divinity Transformation's deep secrets."
In the Cultivation Room, the couple sat opposite on meditation mats, with Chen Mobai steadily instructing Qing Nu on integrating the Dao Fruit.
A profound blue Dao Fruit floated between them, and Qing Nu, face solemn, gripped the Yi Yuan Seal to draw the Dao Fruit toward her.
Given the Dao Fruit's might eclipsed Nascent Soul, for caution, Chen Mobai summoned the Primordial Clock.
Backed by him as a Divinity Transformation True Monarch and the restraint of a Sixth Rank Artifact, after seven days and nights, Qing Nu securely merged the Water Element Dao Fruit into her form.
[Your Daoist partner’s body appears to harbor an ancient innate essence...]
As Qing Nu meditated and absorbed the Water Element Dao Fruit, the Primordial Clock abruptly messaged Chen Mobai.
As a Sixth Rank Artifact, it detected energies of nature keenly and clearly picked up the Fetal Transformation Essence.
"My wife's origins are unique; her Master was unusual, so it might be a protective force they bestowed."
Chen Mobai responded thus. At his Divinity Transformation level, his Daoist partner Qing Nu's history had drawn scrutiny from East Continent powers recently.
She emerged from nowhere, possessed unmatched beauty, exceptional cultivation, and Alchemy mastery, even impressing Dustless True Monarch.
At minimum, no East Continent faction matched her background.
Outside the East Continent, a handful of Holy Lands harbored faint suspicions, but with Qing Nu silent, they feigned ignorance.
"So long as you're aware."
The Primordial Clock cautioned out of worry that its master Chen Mobai might be unaware.
Upon learning he knew, it acknowledged and shifted to Spiritual Light, vanishing into the void.
Chen Mobai freely extended his Domain to the Primordial Clock, briefly revealing his Void Great Dao prowess.
This indeed deepened the Primordial Clock's admiration for his aptitude.
Now it was convinced Chen Mobai would ascend without doubt.
It even anticipated the Yi Yuan Dao Scripture's pinnacle, the "Primordial Golden Dou."
At that moment, Qing Nu opened her eyes, her look at Chen Mobai brimming with warmth.
"I can stay by your side for ages!"
Qing Nu declared, slipping into Chen Mobai’s arms. Having refined the Water Element Dao Fruit, she felt surer of her Divinity Transformation path.
She recalled Chen Mobai's wish for her to share his lifetime.
Now, she could partially fulfill that hope.
"Ages won't suffice. I desire eternity!"
Chen Mobai replied, then drew near as Qing Nu flushed and averted her gaze.
...
Following the Divinity Transformation feast, Yin Qingmei went back to the Dongling Domain, where Mo Douguang also resided, so Chen Mobai decided to award them the Dao Fruits upon their return as thanks for extending the sect's lands.
With all Tianhe Realm issues resolved, Chen Mobai unwound and shared tender moments with Qing Nu.
Yet post-Divinity Transformation, his body had upgraded to Rank-5 automatically, leaving Qing Nu even more outmatched.
Mindful that Qing Nu needed time to stabilize after the Dao Fruit refinement, following their final night of closeness, Chen Mobai, feeling a touch restless, activated the Turtle Treasure and headed to the Immortal Gate.
Amid shimmering silver glow, he materialized in the Yuping Small Realm.
Without realizing, over half a year had passed in the Tianhe Realm.
He had initially aimed to check if the great Dao differed between realms, a task doable in isolation, but fate led him to rescue the Nine Heavens Morality Sect.
True to his nature, after Divinity Transformation, he would have marked the event at the Immortal Gate, likely honoring Yuan Zhen with a sacrifice at minimum.
One could only call Yuan Zhen incredibly lucky.
Chen Mobai pondered this, then drew a Spirit Sealing Tube from his Storage Bag, holding a strand of Seventh Rank Immortal Spirit Qi.
He had brought it deliberately to let Yuan Xu examine it for insights.
But foremost now was proclaiming his Divinity Transformation success.
