I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2517 - 1130: Six Jia Heavenly Gods
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
"Right now, our sect is left with only a few dozen members, and the spirit vein in Kong Sang Valley proves more than enough. The forsaken regions beyond the valley and the damaged Immortal City got restored under your sect’s watchful restoration. By the traditions of the Eastern Wilderness, these lands ought to belong to your sect by right."
Once Kong Sang Valley was reclaimed, Ku Zhu astutely surrendered all the other areas.
During his journey, he witnessed the formerly wrecked territories, torn apart by demonic beasts, now bustling with renewed energy, and comprehended that the Five Elements Sect had invested tremendous labor into them.
At present, Kong Sang Valley lacks the standing to claim these possessions, and with Chen Mobai present, they have no choice but to depend on the Five Elements Sect.
It proved wiser to hand them over outright, allowing Chen Mobai to recall the favor, and firmly securing the Five Elements Sect’s claim to these domains.
"Then, I’ll accept them with thanks."
Chen Mobai had figured that Ku Zhu, as a sword cultivator, might not yield so easily, but surprisingly, before he could even mention it, Ku Zhu had already raised the topic himself.
Thus, the matter of the Five Elements Sect claiming lands in Kong Sang Valley got settled.
Chen Mobai chose to extend some extra advantages.
"I recall there’s a Golden Liquid Jade Rejuvenation Pill still stocked in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. Fetch it on my behalf."
Addressing Gu Yan, Chen Mobai instructed, and she acknowledged with a nod. Shortly after, she returned alongside E Yun, who presented a vial containing the elixirs.
"Given my ties to Nephew Xiao, here’s this Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine from our sect. Please, Friend Ku Zhu, deliver it to her."
Ming Wen, standing nearby, displayed a flicker of excitement at these words, since Xiao Lingri happened to be her own disciple.
In Kong Sang Valley, on this portion of the East Continent, relations ran smoother than in many other groups, with strong bonds linking masters and their apprentices.
"My gratitude, True Monarch!"
Ku Zhu accepted without hesitation. At the moment, apart from himself as the sole Nascent Soul cultivator, the remaining disciples in Kong Sang Valley numbered few and were spread thin. Should Xiao Lingri manage to form her core, backed by the Five Elements Sect’s shield, he could devote himself to pursuing vengeance in the West Continent.
"Rebuilding a sect demands immense hardship. If you require any aid, feel free to discuss it with E Yun."
While Chen Mobai uttered these words, E Yun inclined her head in agreement, then pulled out the Heavenly Communication Device to exchange contact details with Ming Wen True Person.
Hearing this, Ku Zhu recognized it was his cue to depart.
Having acquired the technique to release the spirit vein’s seal, Ku Zhu wasted no time in Northern Abyss City and promptly activated the grand transmission array to head back to the East Barbarians.
With the visitors gone, Chen Mobai issued a few directives to E Yun before heading off to Xiao Nanshan accompanied by Gu Yan.
This location, serving as the legacy ground for his spiritual heritage, had seen little of him since passing it to Zhuo Ming’s oversight.
He trusted Zhuo Ming completely to protect it.
But the instant he emerged from the teleportation array, tribulation clouds unfurled across the heavens over Xiao Nanshan caught his eye.
Was Zhuo Ming attempting her Nascent Soul Formation?
Astonishment flooded Chen Mobai, and he promptly abandoned Gu Yan, teleporting straight to Xiao Nanshan.
Within the expansive gloom of dark clouds, crimson lightning crackled relentlessly, while subtle, searing flames roiled like flowing magma inside the tribulation clouds.
Still, Chen Mobai felt at ease, for the might of this heavenly tribulation appeared truly feeble.
"I gave some Rank-2 and Rank-3 Lifeblood Refining Pills to the spirit beasts on the mountain, and surprisingly, one of Ming’er’s Qinghong birds shattered its bottleneck to reach Rank-3."
Detecting Chen Mobai’s arrival, Qing Nu swiftly approached him, grinning as she explained.
Zhuo Ming stood not just as the top expert in spirit plants for the Five Elements Sect but also shone in handling spirit beasts.
The Green Cow from Liu Wenbo, the Mountain Civet Cat seized by Chen Mobai, and the pair of Qinghong birds from the Liang family—all had been elevated to Second Rank High Grade under her care.
Of them, the Qinghong birds boasted the purest bloodline, said to carry a hint of Qing Feng’s descent. Yet, despite centuries of rearing by the Liang family, the mightiest had merely hit Second Rank Peak.
As Mei Longzheng of the Beast Commanding Sect noted, the Qinghong birds capped at Second Rank due to their thinned bloodline, rendering awakening unattainable even via the True Spirit Transformation Method.
Yet this time, thanks to the Lifeblood Refining Pills refined by Qing Nu, the barrier fell.
Chen Mobai gazed skyward, spotting a splendid bird with spread plumage aglow in blue radiance, soaring elegantly from a spirit tree’s summit on Xiao Nanshan, diving into the falling scarlet flames above.
Razor-sharp wind blades lashed from the Qinghong bird’s wings, whipping up a colossal vortex that smashed against the heavenly tribulation’s blaze, igniting a thunderous clash.
Two Nascent Soul presences shimmered as Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue noticed the turmoil at Xiao Nanshan and hurried over, easing upon spotting Chen Mobai with Qing Nu, offering fist salutes in greeting.
"Who could have imagined this Qinghong bird advancing further?"
Upon learning from Chen Mobai, Zhou Shengqing couldn’t suppress his joy.
Lately, the Liang family thrived under the Five Elements Sect’s backing, now boasting seven Rank-2 high-grade Qinghong Birds. Should they all progress via the Lifeblood Refining Pill, the Five Elements Sect would gain seven more beasts rivaling Core Formation strength.
Furthermore, these creatures, nurtured from youth, proved highly compliant, and in key moments, they could act as aerial vessels to ferry the sect’s top talents or vital supplies.
"We must account for their nature and potential too. I dosed both of Ming’er’s Qinghong Birds with the identical elixir, but only this one made the breakthrough."
Qing Nu shook her head, however, tempering the enthusiasm early on.
"Even a single extra one benefits our sect immensely. I’ve always admired those Yellow Dragon Rides for journeys, and Fu Zongjie often rides Everlife Wooden Dragons. I lack a striking mount myself; this Qinghong Bird suits perfectly..."
Zhou Shengqing voiced his inner wishes at the close.
He had journeyed to the East Land before, witnessing Nascent Soul cultivators arrive at the Shenxi Divinity Transformation Banquet atop diverse spirit beasts, exuding grandeur. Back home, Zhou Shengqing had hunted for an ideal steed, but nothing measured up.
"My Wooden Dragon’s build is rather rigid; riding it feels rough."
Fu Zongjie added his piece, hinting at his own desire for a Rank-3 Qinghong Bird mount if feasible.
"Here’s a Rank-3 Lifeblood Refining Pill. Make sure to mix it with Spiritual Water for feeding, and give it in stages. This elixir’s potency, even for Rank-2 high-grade spirit beasts, overwhelms greatly. It’s ideal to have a Beast Tamer on hand while administering..."
Smiling, Qing Nu drew a vial from her sleeve, dispensing two pills apiece to Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjie.
"Many thanks, sister-in-law."
They offered repeated thanks. Clutching the elixir, they moved to join Chen Mobai in watching the Qinghong Bird endure its tribulation.
Under the watch of one Divinity Transformation and three Nascent Souls, the bird passed the ordeal smoothly, rising to Rank-3.
They descended onto Xiao Nanshan, where Han Zhiling had already harvested fresh Enlightenment Tea leaves and steeped them. As they chatted, Chen Mobai brought up Ku Zhu’s comeback.
"Kong Sang Valley? Didn’t it get wiped out already?"
Zhou Shengqing showed some surprise at the news.
By regional customs, abandoning its domain marked Kong Sang Valley as obliterated.
"That’s due to junior brother’s mercy. Were it up to me, I’d send Ku Zhu packing as far as he could go."
Fu Zongjie interjected. Having perfected the Nascent Soul Aura of Dharma Body, he had forged three Everlife Wooden Dragons and three Six Primary Heavenly Generals, all Rank-4 puppets. With the Dragon General Unity array deployed, he outmatched typical Nascent Soul Early Stage foes, his assurance peaking.
"Relying solely on might to dominate invites the day when strength falters, sparking rebellion. In this realm, more allies prove better."
Chen Mobai responded, unable to hold back from testing Fu Zongjie’s remarkable Dragon General Unity Puppet Formation.
Eager to advance the Five Elements Sect’s puppet arts, Fu Zongjie aimed to merge the Art of Longevity Puppetry with the Six Ding Six Primary Heavenly Gods Puppetry Technique, given the impossibility of creating the Longevity Azure Dragon.
As the calamity clouds cleared, three wooden-veined dragons bore golden-glowing armored puppets into a battle formation that ringed all of Xiao Nanshan, creating a tense, disciplined air.
Adopting a mentor’s approach, Chen Mobai demonstrated the Flame Sun Slash and Extreme Sun Slash while tea-sipping and lecturing Han Zhiling at his side.
Accustomed to clashing only with Zhou Shengqing, Fu Zongjie had never faced such maneuvers. Chen Mobai’s sequence of nine Flame Sun Slashes left him drenched in perspiration.
In Chen Mobai’s view, the Dragon General puppets’ array brimmed with vulnerabilities. To preserve Fu Zongjie’s dignity, he highlighted them gently without shattering the setup.
"That’s sufficient, junior brother." After three cups of tea, Fu Zongjie yielded on his own.
"Did you grasp it well?" Chen Mobai halted smilingly and addressed Han Zhiling next to him. She nodded, deep in contemplation, clearly gaining fresh understanding of the Red Flame Sword Scripture.
Defeat against Chen Mobai weighed lightly on Fu Zongjie; he already pondered refinements to bolster his Dragon General Unity Puppetry Technique.
Chen Mobai endorsed his direction, assessing it firsthand and deeming that Fu Zongjie could hold against average Nascent Soul Middle Stage opponents, urging him to press forward fearlessly.
"Senior brother, recall that the war array peaks at six puppets. You ought to double your Dragon General puppets. I’ll inquire with the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Sect and Dao Morale Sect about any Rank-5 Six Primary Heavenly Gods puppet forging methods they possess."
As Chen Mobai concluded, Fu Zongjie’s gaze brightened.
Since the Art of Longevity Puppetry barred Rank-5 Great Azure Dragon creation without Azure Dragon Wood, Fu Zongjie’s Puppet Master rank lingered at 4. Forging Six Primary Heavenly Generals could revive the East Land Emperor Court’s Twelve Golden Armors Guarding the Heavenly Capital legend.
"It’s your call, junior brother."
Fu Zongjie departed in high spirits.
Chen Mobai lingered a few days at Xiao Nanshan, verifying Zhuo Ming’s Rank-4 transformation in secluded practice, then departed assuredly with Qing Nu.
Right as he prepared to head back to the Immortal Gate, word arrived from the East Barbarians that stunned even him.
The Royal Court of Mysterious Flood Dragons had overrun Golden Crow Immortal City.
