I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2529 - 1138: The Decade-Long War

"Young friend, I will establish a unique teleportation formation both within and beyond the boundary stone just for you, allowing free passage whenever you wish."

Prior to his departure, Da Kong True Monarch thoughtfully lingered to offer aid, aware that Chen Mobai did not possess the Void Evasion Technique.

Chen Mobai, of course, voiced his thanks multiple times.

Observing this, Shenxi and Ni Yuanzhong chose not to have Chen Mobai accompany them and instead made their way independently to Bright Mirror Immortal City.

Da Kong True Monarch's prolonged stay served dual purposes: aiding in the creation of the teleportation array and conversing about the Dragon Abyss Cave affairs.

"My puppet delved far into the Netherworld and uncovered a captivating area brimming with vibrant flora and fauna; I suspect it holds hints toward the Ascension Platform."

As the eldest among the Eastern Continent's Deity Transformation cultivators, Da Kong True Monarch prioritized the Ascension Platform far above threats from the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court or the Sixth Rank Treasure Ship.

"Oh, does the senior intend for us to dispatch our puppets there for further exploration as well?" Chen Mobai asked, and Da Kong True Monarch affirmed with a nod.

"Start by persisting with the puppets for now; yet, the region harbors peculiar natural barriers and perhaps unfamiliar ghostly forces. Puppets remain confined to the periphery, incapable of penetrating deeper..."

Da Kong True Monarch's tone carried a hint of urgency and impulse.

His expertise in Void Secret Techniques shone in navigating spaces veiled by barriers, like the interior and exterior of the boundary stone at hand, or the Dragon Abyss Cave linking the Mortal Realm to the Netherworld.

Should he decide to go there himself, no matter the isolating restrictions, he felt assured of effortless entry.

Yet, the prior expedition into the Netherworld had etched a deep caution in him, fearing another ghostly pursuit, which kept Da Kong True Monarch remarkably composed.

Chen Mobai, listening to his words, felt certain the elder had weighed these risks thoroughly.

"Once the Eastern Continent's turmoil settles, we might summon Dustless and venture close to the Netherworld's boundary via the Dragon Abyss Cave to assess the scene."

Indeed, Da Kong True Monarch uttered exactly that.

"Certainly, certainly, should time allow, I will join."

Chen Mobai refrained from outright commitment, adhering to his creed of steering clear of perilous situations and hasty moves.

With over three millennia of life remaining, he saw no urgency in braving the Netherworld for the Ascension Platform.

"Young friend, should the conflicts here intensify, summon me; my arrival would be effortless."

With those parting words, Da Kong True Monarch dissolved into a streak of silver radiance and disappeared.

Using Echoes in the Void, Chen Mobai attuned himself to the surrounding void ripples, and only after a sweeping divine sense scan across all of eastern Yi confirmed the departure of every Deity Transformation expert did he unwind.

He first tested the teleportation array from Da Kong True Monarch, verifying its flawlessness, before employing his personal Void Evasion Technique to step inside the boundary stone.

Raising his right hand, the Primordial Clock materialized in his grasp.

"Refining all these resources—will that suffice for your ascent to Sixth Rank Superior Grade?"

Chen Mobai gestured toward the small world's interior, where scrapped treasure ships cluttered the vicinity of the dock.

[Impressive, such an abundance of Five Elements Essence, yet alas, their vitality has faded...]

The Primordial Clock Spirit manifested, vibrated briefly, orbited the dock, and settled at the heart of the tripartite Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship, its expression tinged with regret.

[Merely the components from this vessel prove valuable to me; the others together might not even rival that pouch of Leaving Fire Divine Sand in worth.]

Earlier, while Chen Mobai and Da Kong True Monarch spoke on the coastal battlefield, the Primordial Clock Spirit had eavesdropped, learning that Sixth Rank spiritual materials benefited it most, though it could convert these forsaken treasure ships into Five Elements Spiritual Energy—yet that process demanded considerable time.

Presently, amid the Eastern Yi conflict between the Five Elements Sect and Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, swiftness was essential.

Subsequently, the Primordial Clock Spirit calculated the necessities for its elevation. The Leaving Fire Divine Sand pouch, combined with the Sixth Rank Azure Blue Essence Crystal and remnants of this Sixth Rank treasure ship, plus drawing from Mount Wudi's Spirit Vein, would just barely meet the requirements.

[Incorporating this Spirit Vein would ensure absolute success.]

The Primordial Clock Spirit indicated Wandering Mountain beyond, home to another Sixth Rank Spirit Vein, though much of its spiritual energy sustained the boundary stone and the small world.

"I intend to reserve this Spirit Vein as a Dao site for the Five Elements Sect's future Deity Transformation practices..."

Nonetheless, Chen Mobai declined with a shake of his head, rejecting the Primordial Clock Spirit's proposal.

[In that case, an alternative Sixth Rank spiritual material will be required.]

Aware that its promotion opportunity was singular and failure meant no repeat chance like absorbing another Mount Wudi, the Primordial Clock Spirit favored caution as well.

"What of the boundary stone encompassing us?"

Chen Mobai proposed an idea that momentarily dumbfounded the Primordial Clock Spirit.

Crafted from Void Stone essence, this boundary stone embodied the purest, most expansive void power, and given the monument's magnitude, it epitomized the pinnacle Sixth Rank spiritual material in this realm, even evoking Seventh Rank essence.

It resonated with subtle echoes of the Void Dao.

[Excellent, though its attributes clash somewhat with mine, risking incomplete assimilation...]

The Primordial Clock Spirit responded honestly, conceding that the Boundary Stone's quality slightly exceeded its refinement capacity.

Still, leveraging the Primordial Bead's ability to transmute Void into Five Elements, and with Chen Mobai's support, refining it remained theoretically feasible.

At this realization, the Primordial Clock Spirit's gaze upon the small realm ignited with passion.

"Let me outline my vision; attaining Sixth Rank Superior Grade may represent your grandest aspiration, yet to me, it marks merely the outset."

"The Yi Yuan Dao Scripture details the forging of a Seventh Rank Primordial Golden Dou, demanding the fusion of Five Elements, Hun Yuan, Void, and End of Destiny powers. Of these, you already command the Five Elements and Hun Yuan. Refining this Boundary Stone to incorporate Void Dao rhymes leaves only the End of Destiny."

"Conveniently, in my recent defeat of the White Bone Demon King, I grasped the essence of life's cessation and universal finality, forming a sliver of End Power, which I can infuse into your upgrade."

"Thus, it would pave the way for your evolution into the Primordial Golden Dou."

"I am convinced your potential reaches the Seventh Rank!"

Upon hearing Chen Mobai's words, the Primordial Clock Spirit burned with fervor.

For it rang profoundly true.

[Master, your prowess in Artifact Refining eclipses even the old master's!]

This praise from the Primordial Clock Spirit prompted Chen Mobai to demur repeatedly, crediting the foundation laid by Yi Yuan True Monarch.

After all, the Primordial Golden Dou technique originated from Yi Yuan True Monarch as well.

Success here would grant the Five Elements Sect a Seventh Rank Dao Treasure for fortification, akin to Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest, or Sky Sea Jellyfish Palace, rendering it impervious to heavenly tribulations or earthly upheavals.

Having agreed, the Primordial Clock first ingested the Leaving Fire Divine Sand pouch and retreated into Chen Mobai’s Domain to gradually process this invaluable Sixth Rank spiritual treasure.

Refining the Boundary Stone would dissolve the linked small world, so beforehand, Chen Mobai arranged for personnel to extract its holdings.

Numerous scrapped Treasure Ships neared completion, needing solely Power Furnaces.

Drawing on his adept Artifact Refining skills and Five Tones Law mastery, Chen Mobai swiftly decoded more than three thousand Jade Slips' schematics before calling forth Sheng Zhaoxi, Chen Lingming, and fellow Fourth Rank Artifact Refiners from Yi Yuan Dao Palace.

He highlighted crucial elements in teachings, delivered instructions, and distributed assignments according to comprehension levels.

Sheng Zhaoxi grasped the least and received the duty to oversee Five Elements Sect disciples in scouting a fresh dock for relocating and ferrying these Treasure Ships, managing the repair workforce.

Chen Lingming excelled most and was charged with restoring First to Fourth Rank Power Furnaces, uniquely comprehending that segment amid the session.

Yan Huo and Mysterious Water outshone Sheng Zhaoxi marginally but still faced considerable difficulty.

"Let Nephew Chen spearhead this endeavor. Success here would etch an eternal merit."

Hearing this, Chen Lingming bowed gravely, vowing to meet the Sect Master’s trust.

After two weeks, Xuande from Dao Morale Sect journeyed to Wandering Mountain himself, presenting a Jade Box to Chen Mobai.

Within lay the Sixth Rank Azure Blue Essence Crystal. In addition, Xuande arrived with a group of Dao Morale Sect cultivators, set for extended deployment at the Eastern Yi front to bolster the Five Elements Sect and Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court in combat.

Shenxi, despite his mild demeanor, executed plans with swift resolve and precision.

Trailing Xuande, the Eastern Continent's Righteous Dao powers heeded his Holy Land decree, mobilizing a tenth of their forces to the Eastern Yi theater.

Within mere half a year, the assembled Eastern Continent cultivators in Eastern Yi rivaled the throngs from the Dongling Domain's inaugural purge.

Amid mounting strain, Chen Mobai found solace in the Eastern Continent Holy Lands' mutual aid. Beyond Dao Morale Sect, Nine Heavens Morality Sect and Taixu MiaoMiao Palace too sent cultivator legions to alleviate the load.

The Holy Lands' heads were all known figures to Chen Mobai.

Yuan Zhen from Nine Heavens Morality Sect, Zhang Pankong of Taixu MiaoMiao Palace.

Over a million cultivators, alongside scores of Nascent Souls, fortified the shoreline, bolstered by the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, staunchly repelling the Mysterious Sea Monsters.

The Tianhe Realm's vast reserves astonished Chen Mobai, as the Eastern Continent alone rivaled the Immortal Gates' might.

As warfare dragged on, a full decade elapsed in a flash.

Chen Mobai oversaw Wandering Mountain personally. Following the Sun Bathing Sea domains' obliteration, it emerged as the vanguard.

The ancient Flood Dragon displayed superb synergy, periodically emerging near Wandering Mountain.

Across these ten years, the Tianhe Realm's twin titans collided dozens of instances, warping skies and seas, quaking peaks and oceans.

Absent the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation's safeguard, Eastern Yi would have crumbled long ago under their clashes' fallout.

In these confrontations, the old Flood Dragon advanced remarkably, as if spurred by its formidable foe to stir deeper True Spirit Bloodline awakenings.

Yet Chen Mobai advanced swifter, not only perfecting the Yi Yuan Avatar method but also, through it, unlocking profundities of the Primordial Great Dao.
