I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2512 - 1127: The Generation Emperor’s Throne
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Disappointed, Ao Yuxia departed from the chamber.
"Senior, could you explain what the Three Mystic Jade Dragon Pill is?" Chen Mobai inquired of the Dustless True Monarch standing nearby.
"This elixir aids god-transcending cultivators in overcoming their bottlenecks."
Aware that Chen Mobai lacked deep knowledge of affairs outside the East Continent, the Dustless True Monarch provided a thorough explanation: the pill proved effective for bottlenecks across all phases of the divinity transformation stage, though its initial use yielded the strongest results. It stood as the most renowned elixir from the Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace.
"Legends claim the Emperor of Heaven’s true form is a Jade Dragon, and prior to grasping the Destiny Great Dao, he bore the title ’Jade King.’ Subsequently, under the guidance of a mighty Great Divine Power Wielder, he merged with Destiny, becoming the central figure for all existence and claiming the throne of the Emperor of Heaven."
"The Emperor of Heaven’s role ranks just below the supreme merit of creating heaven and earth; consequently, he then embraced the Merit Dao, blended the two paths, and ascended to the Pure Yang Realm. Among the Great World Builders, only the transcendent Mother of Water and Taixu True King surpassed him, marking him as the foremost cultivator in the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm."
"The ’Three Mystic’ denotes the bottlenecks in the early, middle, and late divinity transformation phases, whereas ’Jade Dragon’ represents the Emperor of Heaven, giving the elixir its name."
Thanks to the Dustless True Monarch’s clarification, Chen Mobai focused completely on the opening segments.
The Emperor of Heaven truly holds the status of a Pure Yang Great Power!
Yet, another query soon crossed his mind.
"Does transcendence mean a level surpassing Pure Yang?"
Chen Mobai asked out of curiosity, recalling that in the Immortal Gate Universe, Transcendence described entities like the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable who had achieved Eternity.
At minimum, it demands a Ninth Rank Creation.
Should the Mother of Water and Taixu True King have transcended already, the depths of the Tianhe Realm surpass even those of the Immortal Gate Universe.
"Not always; based on teachings from the Upper Realm’s ancestral sages, the Pure Yang Realm itself permits transcendence from this world. However, the Emperor of Heaven, weighed by the Destiny Great Dao and the destinies of all beings, cannot depart through transcendence without forsaking his Great Dao. Doing so would strip him of the Pure Yang Realm, leaving him trapped in his current state."
As a god-transcending cultivator hailing from the Ancient Sacred Land known as Dao Morale Sect—much like the Nine Heavens Morality Sect—it was clear the group maintained ties to their ascended forebears in the Upper Realm, granting access to such secretive insights.
"Regardless, the Emperor of Heaven remains in the Pure Yang Realm!"
Chen Mobai grasped the concept: the Pure Yang Realm represented the ultimate height of cultivation, where advancements beyond it enabled transcendence and Eternity.
Given the Emperor of Heaven’s prowess, it remained baffling how the Eastern Emperor Court had met its destruction long ago.
"The Emperor of Heaven’s position offers immense merit yet imposes heavy chains. Though he wields Pure Yang power, the bonds of Destiny bind him. When fate demands one’s end, even the Emperor cannot spare their life."
The Dustless True Monarch, sensing Chen Mobai’s thoughts, delivered these words with deliberate emphasis.
[Should this hold true, the Emperor of Heaven’s Pure Yang Realm might not embody full Pure Yang...]
By aligning this with the Eighth Rank Pure Yang Scroll teachings from the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable, Chen Mobai arrived at this deduction.
Authentic Pure Yang possesses infinite mana and endless divine abilities; a whole Great Dao forms but a fraction of its scope.
Nevertheless, the Emperor of Heaven loomed as a formidable entity far beyond Chen Mobai’s current reach to challenge.
Turning down Ao Yuxia this instance could sow the seeds for potential repercussions down the line.
With these reflections, Chen Mobai and the Dustless True Monarch stood up and headed back to the adjacent hall.
...
Once the open artifact refining session concluded, the East Continent’s artifact refiners assembled in Huozhen Immortal City chose to linger, fully aware that Chen Mobai would soon craft the Raccoon Teeth Double Hook Sword.
Even though this forging wouldn’t occur publicly, their anticipation for the debut of the fresh Fifth Rank Flying Sword kept them rooted in place.
Following the failed discussions between Ao Yuxia and the two East Continent god-transcending cultivators, the visitors departed the following day alongside Yuwen Baozhi.
Chen Mobai felt relieved by their exit, going so far as to personally accompany the mother and son to the grand transmission array, only finding peace once they vanished from sight.
Yuwen Baozhi’s reluctance shone through clearly; he yearned to stay until Chen Mobai completed the Fifth Rank Flying Sword, content just to behold it despite missing the forging itself.
Regrettably, Ao Yuxia held the deciding voice.
"Senior Blue Emperor, should you journey to Central State someday, I’d be honored to host you fittingly."
Prior to their departure, Yuwen Baozhi handed over his message talisman to Chen Mobai, who accepted it with polite grace.
Accompanying the mother and son was Palace Master Azure Fall, their original introducer.
From every angle, her goal of securing the Fifth Rank Artifact Refiner recognition had succeeded, so she departed beaming, expressing repeated gratitude to Chen Mobai.
Moments later, beside the large-scale transmission array, just the Dustless True Monarch and Chen Mobai remained.
"Young Friend Chen, might I broach a matter with you?"
Initially invited by Chen Mobai as a safeguard against any clash with Ao Yuxia—for mediation or support—the Dustless True Monarch found Ao Yuxia’s offer sparking a fresh notion in his mind.
"Senior, there’s no need for such formality; go ahead."
Chen Mobai brimmed with curiosity, pondering what the Dustless True Monarch wished to discuss now that Ao Yuxia had gone.
"When the Eastern Emperor Court collapsed, our Dao Morale Sect appeared innocent outwardly, yet we offended the Emperor of Heaven nonetheless. The sect’s ancestor faced a summons to the Upper Realm and received a scolding. Temperamental as he was, the ancestor quit his post afterward, opting to roam freely across the Immortal Realm. He then commanded us East Continent disciples: upon any Dragon Pulse gaining spirit, we must strike it down."
Thus, the Dustless True Monarch unveiled the longstanding reason behind Dao Morale Sect’s pursuit of Dragon Pulses over millennia.
Hearing this, Chen Mobai grew even more captivated.
With the Emperor of Heaven at Pure Yang level, and Dao Morale Sect ascenders probably only attaining Harmonization, how could they display such audacity toward him?
Evidently, the dynamics among the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm’s Great Abilities wove a tapestry of intricate alliances and rivalries.
"In my estimation, the assault on the Dragon Pulse stems from the Emperor of Heaven’s longing for transcendence, necessitating a successor to shoulder his Destiny or Merit Dao. However, the Emperor of Heaven’s seat anchors this realm’s stability; a shift in power might disrupt the Three Thousand Great Dao, even impacting Harmonization Great Abilities. Hence, across the Five Continents and Four Seas, numerous powers silently endorse slaying the dragon to block further heirs from the Golden Que Palace rising to claim the throne."
"As such, the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm serves as the arena for the Emperor of Heaven and the Daoist Monarch Great Abilities’ conflicts, while we Holy Lands in the Lower Realm function as mere pieces in their game."
"Taixu True King’s resurgence may unveil this hidden war, prompting the Emperor or the Daoist Monarch Great Abilities to crown a definitive winner."
Chen Mobai hadn’t anticipated the Dustless True Monarch sharing such revelations with him.
This showed genuine trust, treating him as one of their own!
"Elder, what guidance do you offer? I’m listening intently."
Given his own cultivation, Chen Mobai knew he couldn’t meddle in the lofty disputes of the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm, so he eagerly sought the Dustless True Monarch’s counsel to discern his plans.
"Young friend, it would be wise to retain your Dragon Pulse for the time being. Later, I’ll fetch the Heavenly Ground Xuanji Instrument from the sect for study. Should it awaken spirit, I’ll pretend not to notice. If the Upper Realm’s contest ends with the Emperor of Heaven prevailing before my ascension, presenting this Dragon Pulse to the Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace as amends would prove ideal."
Chen Mobai inwardly dubbed the Dustless True Monarch a sly veteran upon processing these suggestions.
Not yet ascended, yet hedging bets across factions.
Still, this arrangement suited him well.
After all, his Dragon Pulse, challenging as it was to cultivate, didn’t justify clashing with the Dao Morale Sect.
With the Dustless True Monarch volunteering to shield it, Chen Mobai naturally consented.
Surely, this stemmed from the blessings of the Saintly Virtue Dao.
"I appreciate your guidance, elder; I see your purpose clearly."
Chen Mobai nodded, signaling his assent.
"Young friend, make time to visit the Dongling Domain when possible."
The Dustless True Monarch smiled at Chen Mobai’s response, produced a pouch of Enlightenment Tea, and entered the large-scale Transmission Array, vanishing from the Eastern Wilderness.
As silver lights danced, the Dustless True Monarch arrived in Wuwei Immortal City. He swiftly headed back to Dao Morale Sect headquarters, pretexting a need for the Heavenly Ground Xuanji Instrument to probe the ruins’ ancestor vein, thereby borrowing the sect’s prized treasure.
Shenxi detected nothing amiss, personally guiding the Dustless True Monarch to the Dongling Domain.
Shortly thereafter, in a forsaken ruin beyond Dongling Immortal City, the Dustless True Monarch materialized silently in the air.
After an hour’s wait, gales whipped through the heavens, dark clouds billowed, lightning cracked with thunderous roars, and heavy rains poured, veiling the world in fog like a breached Tianhe flooding the mortal plane.
Amid the veiled haze, the Dustless True Monarch relaxed, cupping his hands toward the expansive clouds above: "Ao, old friend, I’ve convinced young Chen to safeguard the Dragon Pulse."
"Mere words won’t suffice; bind it with an oath." A booming voice echoed from the clouds, unveiling a lithe, draconic form, yet betraying no detectable presence.
"True enough, trust between us remains shaky..."
Though he noted this, the Dustless True Monarch lifted his hand to pledge, verifying his commitment.
"Excellent, take this Three Mystic Jade Dragon Pill. Should the Dragon Pulse ripen and my son master the Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture, further rewards await you."
A luminous Jade Vial descended from the clouds, gleaming like a star in the downpour.
The Dustless True Monarch caught it, uncorked the vial to inspect the pill within, and nodded approvingly once assured of its genuineness.
"In that case, I offer early congratulations on your son’s potential rise to Emperor of Heaven, my friend."
Having claimed his prize, the Dustless True Monarch uttered these words.
"I hold no such lofty ambitions. If my son can succeed the Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace upon our ascension, that would be enough."
Ao Yuxia knew her son’s aptitudes well; his talent in cultivation was solid yet fell short of prodigious levels.
All her schemes aimed simply to elevate him to the Spirit Transformation Stage.
That way, she could ascend without worry, joining her husband in the Immortal Realm to vie for the Emperor of Heaven’s seat.
