I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2526 - 1136: Earth-Shattering Secrets
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Located in the East Barbarians, this Wandering Mountain lacks any sovereignty issues following the destruction of the Sun Bathing Sea, thus falling under the Five Elements Sect's domain.
Having protected it for numerous years, Chen Mobai refuses to allow Da Kong True Monarch and his companions to seize the rewards.
"Could there be risks within? Remember, it originates from the Eastern Emperor Court."
Chen Mobai offered a gentle warning, yet Da Kong True Monarch appeared oblivious.
"No need to fret; I'll place a marker prior to entering. Should danger arise, I can exit immediately."
Da Kong True Monarch responded assuredly, even giving Chen Mobai a playful wink. After all, his successful escape from perils in the Dragon Abyss Cave filled him with confidence.
"Excellent, that's splendid."
Upon hearing this, Shenxi and Ni Yuanzhong nodded vigorously in approval.
The pair held immense fascination for the Secret Realm housed inside the Boundary Stone.
Given that it was bestowed by the royal family upon the Fanhai Sect, it might connect to Sixth Rank prowess.
The Holy Land would undoubtedly take notice.
"In that case, senior, go ahead."
Realizing persuasion was futile, Chen Mobai conceded with these words.
Nevertheless, unveiling the Wandering Mountain relic now could prove optimal for the Five Elements Sect.
Certainly, this event couldn't evade the awareness of other Holy Lands.
With four Deity Transformation experts uniting for this, it signaled the Five Elements Sect's willingness to share the treasures, fostering peace among them.
In the Tianhe Realm, clashes over secret realm relics frequently erupt, particularly those tied to the Eastern Emperor Court, drawing intense scrutiny from Holy Lands and requiring reports to the Upper Realm.
Regardless of the Boundary Stone's contents, the Sixth Rank Spirit Vein present here remains exclusively for their Five Elements Sect. Secured with this vital gain, Chen Mobai felt considerably more relaxed.
Once prepared, Da Kong True Monarch advanced toward the Stele with a grave look, lifting his gold and silver rings that swiftly morphed into a beam of silver light and vanished.
Observing the lingering void fluctuations, Chen Mobai experienced a subtle urge to try it himself.
Though he had perfected the Void Evasion Technique, it hadn't contributed significantly thus far.
Even in the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, this secret art is scarce, with only a handful mastering it, so he refrained from deploying it at this moment. Instead, he intended to investigate personally after the others departed.
Essentially, Da Kong True Monarch was paving the path for him.
"This Spirit Vein thrives vibrantly here, perfect for Sect Master Chen's cultivation site."
Grasping Chen Mobai's present sentiments, Shenxi first affirmed the ownership of Wandering Mountain, indicating Dao Morale Sect harbored no desires for the Sixth Rank Spirit Vein.
Ni Yuanzhong concurred with a nod as well.
"Having refined the Primordial Bead, I lack a real need for Spirit Veins."
Chen Mobai answered with a fabricated smile, true for his own practice but invaluable to the Five Elements Sect overall.
In particular, during Divinity Transformation, access to a Sixth Rank Spirit Vein could boost success rates by at least fifty percent.
He had originally intended to merge all Spirit Veins from the Eastern Wilderness Borderlands Three Regions into the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, upgrading Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion to Sixth Rank status, yet that would diminish multiple veins.
Now, with Wandering Mountain, such sacrifices become unnecessary.
"Positioned right at the edge of East Barbarians and Mysterious Sea, with Sect Master Chen overseeing it, the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court won't venture a single step onto land."
Shenxi persisted in his complimentary remarks, and Chen Mobai acknowledged with a nod before probing into details about the Eastern Emperor Court and Hall of Ten Directions.
While Yi Yuan Dao Palace's ancient records compiled and documented much, they paled against the direct experiences of Dao Morale Sect and Nine Heavens Morality Sect from that epoch.
"In its zenith, the Eastern Emperor Court boasted dozens of Deity Transformation True Monarchs, with the Human Emperor at Cultivating Void Great Ability, and treasures such as the Twelve Golden Armored Celestials of Rank-5 Puppets, rendering it a formidable entity rivaling even Daoist Monarchs and True Immortals in the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm."
"Unsurprisingly, such dominance invited envy. Beyond the Eight Royal Courts of the Demon Tribe, descendants of the eighteen Demon Path sects lurked within the Eastern Emperor Court, exploiting its fortune to unleash the notorious Ghost Mother Calamity."
"To eradicate the Ghost Mother, the Human Emperor had to release power surpassing the Tianhe Realm's boundaries, suffering grave wounds in the process, compelled to Ascend in pursuit of healing arts."
"In probing the calamity's depths, the Holy Lands unearthed numerous concealed facts, including the abrupt vanishing of an extraordinarily potent figure amid the chaos."
"That figure was the Empress, possessing Cultivating Void cultivation as well. Had she allied with the Human Emperor, the Eastern Emperor Court would have averted massive devastation in the Ghost Mother Calamity."
"Consequently, our sect's forebears theorized that the Empress orchestrated the Ghost Mother Calamity, seeking either Ascension or the Human Emperor's downfall, at minimum his expulsion from the Tianhe Realm."
These long-buried secrets from over ten thousand years past are privy to only a select few in the East Continent. Shenxi, lacking outlets to share or debate the sect's archives on the Eastern Emperor Court, seized this chance to divulge freely.
"True enough, post my Divinity Transformation, I conferred with various ascendant forebears in the Upper Realm, uncovering myriad hidden truths. For example, the Human Emperor who quelled the Ghost Mother Calamity had attained Cultivating Void's pinnacle within the Tianhe Realm, merely a single stride from Harmonization."
"Achieving Harmonization in the Mortal Realm would render no force across the Five Continents and Four Seas capable of halting his conquest of the Tianhe Realm. In doing so, he would emerge as the Heavenly Emperor of the mortal domain."
"Ascending thereafter, that Human Emperor would seamlessly claim the Heavenly Emperor's Great Dao, ascending as the new Pure Yang Great Power, the Second Generation Heavenly Emperor."
"Evidently, countless Daoist Monarchs and True Immortals opposed this outcome, inciting the Ghost Mother Calamity to compel his early Ascension."
"The Empress's origins remain profoundly enigmatic, with no records of her in the Immortal Realm, prompting ancestors to conjecture she was an extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon."
Having absorbed Shenxi's detailed exposition, Ni Yuanzhong contributed the confidential insights he possessed.
The Heavenly Emperor yearned for transcendence, yet numerous Daoist Monarchs in the Immortal Realm resisted his elevation. Debarred from direct action, they probably conspired covertly with a Demon Path heavyweight from Heaven Beyond Heavens to devise this scheme.
"Dao Brother grasps only fragments, not the entirety."
Listening to Ni Yuanzhong, Shenxi inevitably disclosed deeper veiled truths.
Chen Mobai strained to listen, utterly forgetting Da Kong True Monarch's venture into the Boundary Stone, captivated by the revelations from these two Holy Land Deity Transformation experts.
"The Ghost Mother Calamity wasn't exclusively propelled by the Empress."
"Per our sect's sages' conjecture, the Human Emperor himself could be the actual architect, scheming to harness the Ghost Mother's Extreme Land for a serene Harmonization in the Mortal Realm, thereby unifying the Tianhe Realm."
"Yet, a shrewd observer pierced this plot and, by turning the Ghost Mother against him, propelled that era's Human Emperor skyward."
Hearing Shenxi's assertion left both Chen Mobai and Ni Yuanzhong in complete shock.
Still, this hypothesis meshes seamlessly with every available hint.
"Your sect truly merits its record of most frequent service as Imperial Court National Master, even unearthing such profound secrets."
For the initial time, Ni Yuanzhong expressed sincere esteem for the Dao Morale Sect, conceding that had that era's Human Emperor become aware, even the Dao Morale Sect would have met utter destruction.
Nonetheless, the Dao Morale Sect's sages safeguarded this knowledge up to the present.
"Hardly; sages of both our sects have navigated with utmost prudence, jointly surmounting these trials..."
Shenxi remained exceedingly modest, recognizing that amid Eastern Continent's human annals, myriad Holy Land lineages arose, yet solely the Nine Heavens Morality Sect and Dao Morale Sect endure to now.
This explains why these two sects hold the status of Ancient Sacred Lands in the Eastern Continent.
The Taixu MiaoMiao Palace only relocated to the Eastern Continent following the Eastern Emperor Court's collapse, founding branch sects and academies. Prior to that, it operated merely as a Commerce Association.
"Who precisely was the paramount entity that dispatched that generation's Human Emperor to the heavens?"
Intrigued, Chen Mobai pressed onward, cutting into their reciprocal commendations.
"This endures as an enigma. Our sect has probed relentlessly for tens of thousands of years."
Shenxi shook his head, and Ni Yuanzhong naturally lacked any insight too.
It persists as one of the Eastern Continent's enduring riddles.
"Did the Nine-Headed Great Saint's rise back then stem from the identical cause?"
Chen Mobai delved further, as post the Eastern Emperor Court's founding, three cataclysms ensued: the Ghost Mother, the Nine-Headed Great Saint, and the Supreme True Demon.
The ultimate exhaustion of the Eastern Emperor Court's reserves arose from the Nine-Headed Great Saint's unforeseen ascent. The Human Emperor met his end in combat, and the bulk of the Hall of Ten Directions' Deity Transformation experts perished. Following this clash, the Eastern Emperor Court forfeited its dominion over the mortal realm, allowing Holy Lands like the Nine Heavens Morality Sect and Dao Morale Sect to declare autonomy, reveling in liberty from imperial decrees.
The extraterrestrial Supreme True Demon's advent finally shattered the Eastern Emperor Court's final bastion.
Through unified might, Immortal Realm Daoist Monarchs reshaped the cosmos, capping the Tianhe Realm at Deity Transformation Peak, barring the Heavenly Emperor from mortal interference.
Bereft of the Heavenly Emperor's radiance, the myriad True Spirits roused during the Eastern Emperor Court's heyday initiated their assaults, even claiming the Supreme Treasure Dragon Capturing Tripod.
Thenceforth, all recognized the Eastern Emperor Court as a hollow facade, incapable of upholding its facade of grandeur. It began disintegrating, and within a mere 800 years, under the vigilant eyes of the Nine Heavens Morality Sect and fellow Holy Lands, it fully dissolved.
"The Nine-Headed Great Saint's appearance was fortuitous, but once it displayed its prowess, it drew the gaze of Upper Realm Daoist Monarchs. Lacking proof, its attainment of Cultivating Void in the Mortal Realm likely stems from Wanling Daojun's bestowed legacy."
Shenxi addressed Chen Mobai's query.
While the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm shelters numerous seventh-rank True Spirits, an aberrant half-demon like the Nine-Headed Great Saint, blending diverse bloodlines, demanded a bespoke Cultivation Technique for optimal refinement and Cultivating Void advancement.
Wanling Daojun, progenitor of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, specialized in such expertise.
"Did the Heavenly Emperor not seek retribution?"
Bearing animosities toward the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, Chen Mobai inevitably questioned anew.
"The Heavenly Emperor's role demands impartiality and equity. Absent irrefutable evidence implicating Wanling Daojun, the Heavenly Emperor refrained from action. Still, to dispel doubts, Wanling Daojun thereafter barred Ten Thousand Spirits Sect adherents from Central State from entering the Eastern Continent."
