I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2485 - 1109: Yi Yuan’s Past (Part 2)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
The Primordial Clock just so happens to offer the solution to this puzzle.
Thanks to its support, Chen Mobai's Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Beam grows even more horrifying and powerful.
[Above the Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Beam, there is actually another method called the Great Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light Needle! It condenses this secret technique into a fine light needle. The former master once flicked his finger at the Dao Congress, annihilating the Primordial Spirit of the Deity Transformation True Monarch of the Central State Holy Land Five Extremes Temple with a single needle, establishing his reputation as the paramount figure in the Tianhe Realm.]
Chen Mobai felt stunned as he listened to this revelation.
This event hadn't reached the ears of those in the Eastern Wilderness.
It's no surprise that places like the Nine Heavens Morality Sect keep quiet about it, but why wouldn't Yi Yuan Dao Palace brag about the feats of its founder?
Yet, the Five Extremes Temple from Central State Holy Land?
That name doesn't appear among the present-day Holy Lands in Central State, it seems.
Maybe it lost its Holy Land status after its Deity Transformation fell to Yi Yuan True Monarch.
In Central State, after all, Deity Transformations number more than ten, and Holy Lands shift frequently.
Only powers such as Taixu MiaoMiao Palace and Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest qualify as true Ancient Sacred Lands.
"At the Dao Congress, how did Yi Yuan Ancestor clash with the Deity Transformation from Five Extremes Temple?"
Curiosity tinged Chen Mobai's question, since he could join the upcoming Dao Congress, and preferring harmony, he wanted to steer clear of deadly fights with Central State's Deity Transformations.
[The Five Extremes Temple also follows the Five Elements Great Dao, insisting that the former master's secret technique came from their teachings. The former master declared that the Five Extremes Temple's cultivation method paled against his Yi Yuan Dao Scripture; if theft occurred, it was them taking from him. The Deity Transformation True Monarch of Five Extremes Temple flew into a rage, and then the former master slew him right there to show his Daoist arts were unmatched.]
The Primordial Clock summed up the incident in brief, and after absorbing it, Chen Mobai could only raise a thumb in admiration.
This truly stands as the ultimate way for a native expert to demonstrate dominance.
"Did the Lord of Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest step in?"
By rights, the Dao Congress exists to resolve conflicts among Holy Lands, offering a stage for Deity Transformations from the Five Continents and Four Seas to connect, so the host Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest ought to have stepped in during that fatal spell battle between Deity Transformations.
[It appears time ran short; the argument between the former master and the Five Extremes Temple's Deity Transformation exploded into combat in seconds, and before the lord could react, the former master had already ended the foe.]
As an eyewitness to the chaos, the Primordial Clock drew from its millennia of recollections to recount the past events.
"Got it, so if I get into a wordy spat at the Dao Congress, to spare my master any hassle, I should strike and kill instantly."
Chen Mobai nodded while playing the role of an innocent prodigy before the Primordial Clock, acting as though worldly ways baffled him.
The Primordial Clock's Artifact Spirit went quiet after this remark.
It worried that its account had been twisted by Chen Mobai, afraid he might truly look down on Central State's Holy Lands and stir up disaster at the Dao Congress. Thus, the Primordial Clock shared a deeply hidden piece of history.
[Once the former master struck down the foe, the lord of Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest fumed, drawing their ancestral Treasure of Dao—the Qianqiu Yuan Yang Ruler—to try pinning down the former master.]
[Yet, the former master's Five Elements Escape Technique had hit its peak, and with hidden aid from allies, he slipped away from Central State with me without issue.]
[The former master crossed paths with that lord multiple times amid the Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulation, each clash erupting into brutal fights, and even sans the Qianqiu Yuan Yang Ruler, he edged out a slight edge.]
[Three years following their final showdown, that lord shattered through to the Cultivating Void stage, survived the Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulation, and rose to the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm.]
[With that lord's ascension, the former master faced no equals in the Tianhe Realm anymore, yet he scorned lording over the Mortal Realm alone. Driven to face that lord again, he carried me to the Eastern Wilderness and swiftly ascended by claiming a fitting Yellow Dragon.]
Through the Primordial Clock's tale, it hinted that Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest's hidden depths demanded respect.
"No surprise it's Central State's Ancient Sacred Land, the legacy of the saint."
Chen Mobai let out a heavy sigh at this, while resolving that even if summoned to the next Dao Congress, he'd cook up a reason to skip it.
What if they nursed grudges over Yi Yuan True Monarch's old actions?
Besides, a Treasure of Dao ranks at least Seventh Rank.
Just how Yi Yuan True Monarch fled back then remains an enigma.
Still, this insight made Chen Mobai see that the Primordial Clock held vast knowledge, spurring him to dig deeper into Yi Yuan True Monarch's path of cultivation.
However, since the Primordial Clock got forged after Yi Yuan True Monarch's Divinity Transformation, it only joined him in his last unrivaled phase within the Mortal Realm.
In those days, Yi Yuan True Monarch dealt with the elite Deity Transformation True Monarchs of the Tianhe Realm.
The elders from great Holy Lands spanning the Five Continents and Four Seas.
Chen Mobai savored this enough, cultivating as he absorbed the Primordial Clock's stories.
Though Yi Yuan True Monarch ascended more than six thousand years past, Holy Lands carry profound roots, and aside from the doomed Five Extremes Temple, most endured unaltered through the ages. So, the groups named by the Primordial Clock aligned with today's Holy Lands across the Five Continents and Four Seas.
[The former master shared a tight bond with Southern State's Ri Lian Temple White Lotus Layman. I was crafted together by him and the White Lotus Layman in those times.]
[Southern State holds a bountiful region known as "Du Guang Field," where rare herbs from Tianhe Realm's ancient eras to now thrive. The Heavenly Phoenix's lineage dwells there, bearing the True Spirit Bloodline of the Heavenly Phoenix, their strength beyond measure. The former master journeyed there once alongside the White Lotus Layman...]
[West Continent suffers scarcity; the former master went there once and never went back...]
[North Continent falls under demonic beasts' sway, yet the Star Temple keeps it in check...]
[Central State shines as a prime spot, fully claimed by humans; demonic beasts fled to the seas. Still, cultivators swarm it, leaving few free spirit veins. The former master owns a Sixth Rank spirit vein cave dwelling there, but post his clash with Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest's Lord, he hasn't revisited...]
Chen Mobai jotted the Primordial Clock's details for later benefit.
He also asked if Yi Yuan True Monarch harbored other mighty foes beyond Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest.
[None left, the former master wiped out the rest!]
The Primordial Clock declared this with firm conviction.
Relief washed over Chen Mobai at these words.
Days raced ahead, and two years slipped by.
Now attuned to his Five Elements Immortal Spirit Root and Primordial Body, Chen Mobai synced fully with the Primordial Clock, realizing that more isolation wouldn't bring quick gains.
He pushed open the Cultivation Room door to spot the little Yellow Dragon Girl lounging near the entrance.
Seeing him step out, the little Yellow Dragon Girl jumped up from her tiny stool and bowed: "Master."
"Mm, you've worked hard. Has the lady come out of seclusion yet?"
Chen Mobai grinned, reaching out to ruffle the little Yellow Dragon Girl's hair.
The little Yellow Dragon Girl shook her head, signaling Qing Nu remained in retreat.
Chen Mobai then used Listening with Empty Valley Echo, catching the swift pulse of True Qi like rushing streams, clearly showing Qing Nu pondered the Water Element Dao Fruit.
After feeling the Immortal Water Spirit Root's link, he knew this rhythm all too well.
Summoning Jin Ling’er, the cave dwelling's guardian, he left word for Qing Nu before heading off, mounted on the little Yellow Dragon Girl.
En route to Northern Abyss City, Chen Mobai switched on his Heavenly Communication Device. His feed brimmed with a storm of pressing notifications.
