I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2473 - 1101: Spirit of Great Chun (2)

"It looks like your Jumang lineage lacks quite a bit in its heritage, particularly the Chapters focused on void cultivation."

Having observed the cultivation method shown by the Spirit of Great Chun, Chen Mobai found himself unable to hold back his feelings.

Next to him, Wenren Xuewei's eyes grew wide as she caught those words.

The Five Ancestors of Xianmen had merely reached the Spirit Transformation Stage; back at the original White Crane Dao Arena, securing the full inheritance proved impossible for them. The Chapters that sought to enter Virtual Training from the Lasting Spring Cultivation, left behind by the Evergreen Ancestor, were largely filled in only after his arrival at the Purple Cloud Palace.

Based on Chen Mobai's current remarks, it appeared the Weapon Dancing Sect possessed a flawless heritage for Virtual Training.

"Please guide me, fellow Daoist!"

Grasping the deeper meaning in Chen Mobai’s statement, the Spirit of Great Chun rose from the branches with a elegant sway like a willow in gentle wind, offering a respectful bow toward him.

"I dare not claim to enlighten, yet allow me to reveal our lineage’s knowledge on void cultivation..."

Right then, Chen Mobai realized the Spirit of Great Chun truly lacked comprehension of void cultivation. She had accidentally advanced to the Sixth Rank, brushing against the Great Dao of Life that best matched her essence, and dwelled in that state for millennia.

Following the Evergreen Ancestor, no Spirit Transformation successor emerged in the Jumang lineage, leaving them unable to draw the void cultivation insights from the remaining three lineages.

"I never imagined that cultivation beyond the Sixth Rank would unfold in such a manner..."

Upon absorbing Chen Mobai's explanation, the Spirit of Great Chun murmured softly to herself.

At her side, Wenren Xuewei displayed a stunned expression yet diligently committed to memory every detail Chen Mobai shared, reflecting on how the Dan Ding Sect—established by the Dao Venerable's own disciple—boasted a far deeper foundation than their Jumang lineage.

Chen Mobai: "Senior has already entered the Great Dao of Life; may this path remain unclaimed."

Within this cosmos, selecting the Dao for one's cultivation stands as the paramount choice. Pursuing a Dao already seized by another limits even the most gifted to merely the pinnacle of void refining at best.

Chen Mobai himself pursued Pure Yang, Five Elements, Saintly Virtue, and End of Destiny, though uncertainty lingered on whether these Daos were taken.

Despite not yet engaging in void cultivation, he stood ready to alter his Daos if required!

Still, such a shift would undoubtedly squander precious time.

In truth, while the Spirit Transformation stage offered an apparently endless lifespan, mastering a Dao demanded far more than a single night; even prodigies needed centuries or millennia to approach the void refining threshold for each one.

A genius like the Yuan Yang Ancestor ultimately withered away.

"My deepest thanks for your instruction, fellow Daoist. Now I grasp the fundamentals of my future cultivation journey."

In that instant, the Spirit of Great Chun offered a deep, formal bow before clasping her slender hands at her chest, where a verdant-white immortal glow bloomed in her grasp, swiftly forming into an elongated golden fruit.

"This is a Rank-5 Large Chinese Toon Fruit; I hope you won't find it unworthy."

With a touch of shy reluctance, the Spirit of Great Chun extended the golden fruit from her palms to Chen Mobai, who received it gladly after a brief exchange of courtesies.

After all, a Rank-5 Large Chinese Toon Fruit could extend one's lifespan by a full 480 years.

"True Monarch, refining this immortal fruit after consumption will boost your Wood Spirit Root by 60 points."

Wenren Xuewei chose that moment to chime in with her advice.

This news filled Chen Mobai with even greater joy.

Should he ingest this immortal fruit, his Wood Spirit Root would soar straight to 100 points, achieving Wen Dao status. Without relying on the Technique of Turning into Gold, he could immediately employ the Immortal Skill of Patching Heaven to forge himself into a Five Elements Immortal Spirit Root.

Admittedly, it felt a tad extravagant, given his Wood Spirit Root already stood at 53 points.

Why had the Xianmen cultivators omitted any notes on this effect after using Large Chinese Toon Fruit? Had they documented it, he might have bolstered his Wood Spirit Root sooner, attaining Five Elements Spiritual Root Perfection with less toil.

Yet, considering the matter, only Spirit Transformation True Monarchs in Xianmen enjoyed access to Large Chinese Toon Fruit, making their oversight forgivable.

For such figures, a mere 60-point gain or loss in Wood Spirit Root held little weight.

"My gratitude, Senior. Incidentally, as we discussed before, should the chance arise, we'd relieve you from the core of the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation. Fortunately, during my Spirit Transformation, I mastered the Primordial Bead technique..."

Chen Mobai brought up the main reason for his visit that day.

"Given Senior’s Sixth Rank realm, condensing a Primordial Bead as well should grant you the Nascent Soul cultivators' exclusive power: transforming all Void essences into Spiritual Energy—likely with even greater might."

"I believe this kind of Primordial Bead might substitute for Senior, serving as the fresh core of the Sky Curtain Ground Network Great Method and setting you free."

"That said, this technique demands a human Taoist body; Senior, are you able to transform?"

Chen Mobai laid out his ideas; though the Great Chun had attained the Sixth Rank, it lacked the overwhelming battle prowess of Bai Guang, relying solely on drawing in and refining the Great Dao of Life's power to sustain its boundless lifespan and supply immense vitality to Lasting Spring Cultivation practitioners.

Nevertheless, as a Sixth Rank entity, with proper direction, it might forge a Sixth Rank Primordial Bead. Thus, future Xianmen Spirit Transformation successors could avoid grueling labor; it would strike at the heart of the problem!

Naturally, the Spirit of Great Chun might prove too simple-minded to grasp it, but Chen Mobai deemed it worth the attempt regardless.

Moved by these words, the Spirit of Great Chun revealed a conflicted face: "Transform? I'm clueless on how!"

A bewildered expression crossed Chen Mobai's features at once.

The Peach Blossom Sage managed it; why couldn't she?

He swiftly glanced toward Wenren Xuewei, who sent over a transmission detailing the hidden truth.

It emerged that after the Evergreen Ancestor fell to Ancestor Long Wei and the Spiritual Venerable, his oath barred refining Rank-6 Large Chinese Toon Fruit via the Earth Element Star Spirit Vein and forbade the Great Chun Divine Tree from undergoing transformation.

Because of this, no Jumang lineage cultivator of Lasting Spring Cultivation, able to converse with the Spirit of Great Chun, ever risked instructing it in transformation methods.

"Precisely what does that oath encompass?"

Chen Mobai inquired further.

Joy sparked across Wenren Xuewei's face at the question, signaling Chen Mobai's resolve to shatter the chains confining the Jumang lineage for millennia.

"It binds only our Jumang lineage; the True Monarch falls outside its reach."

Chen Mobai gave a soft nod in response.

Apart from Lasting Spring Cultivation practitioners, solely successive Xianmen Spirit Transformation cultivators could commune with the Great Chun Spirit, yet facing its Sixth Rank power, none dared permit it to separate from its primary form through transformation.

"I must consult with Senior Qi and the rest on this."

Rather than deciding alone, Chen Mobai upheld his democratic approach for weighty issues.

"Then I'll rely on you, fellow Daoist. Should you liberate me from this millennia-long imprisonment, I'll swear any oath you desire."

The Spirit of Great Chun voiced her vow in turn, clearly seeing the youth before her as the prime hope in thousands of years to escape her bonds.

Chen Mobai responded with another gentle nod.

A transformed Sixth Rank Great Chun, unshackled from the Sky Curtain Ground Network's restraint, might overwhelm even their five Spirit Transformations.

Therefore, pinpointing which oaths could hold her proved utterly vital.

Exiting the Great Chun's Divine Sense realm, Chen Mobai and Wenren Xuewei returned to their corporeal forms.

Chen Mobai gazed at the oval golden fruit that had materialized in his grasp from nowhere, sensing the surging vitality inside as he examined it intently.

"True Monarch, perhaps a stop at the nearby Daoist Academy? The Peach Blossom Sage would no doubt rejoice at your presence."

Wenren Xuewei ventured the suggestion with some hesitation; beyond the Great Chun Divine Tree, the Peach Blossom Sage had endured millennia awaiting her ascent to the Fifth Rank.

This too formed a cherished inheritance of the Jumang lineage.

Upon discovering the Primordial Bead's potential, Wenren Xuewei had eagerly led Chen Mobai here.

Still, pursuing this would inevitably strain ties between the two.

"That can wait."

But Chen Mobai merely shook his head.

Earlier, when he raised the Peach Blossom Sage's promotion, Qi Yuheng and Yunhai had politely refused.

Under the present conditions, he preferred avoiding any empty promises to the Peach Blossom Sage, sparing her needless elation.

Though a hint of regret touched Wenren Xuewei, she held her tongue.

As silver light flickered, the pair vanished from their location.
