I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2531 - 1139: Completing All the Pieces to Defeat the Old Flood Dragon (Part 2)

With a sharp cracking noise, a fissure suddenly formed on the stone coffin.

A brilliant azure radiance, resembling a blade of light slashing the gloom, fused together with the limitless might of the Mysterious Sea, endlessly streaming into the stone coffin.

Sigh!

As Dustless True Monarch let out his sigh, the fissure started to spread rapidly, soon enveloping the whole stone coffin. Amid a booming thunder, a deep blue treasure orb erupted first, trailed by the panicked form of the old flood dragon that burst free, hurling chunks of broken stone which dissolved and vanished within the churning Mysterious Sea.

At the sight, Chen Mobai pulled back the Primordial Clock too.

Even with the upper hand, the pair of sixth rank magic artifacts failed to fully overpower the Sea Suppressing Bead.

It had to be admitted that atop the Mysterious Sea, the old flood dragon held an invincible position.

Yet right now, the old flood dragon that had escaped the seal didn't dare to spout any threats; it darted from the stone coffin and dove into the Mysterious Sea with the Sea Suppressing Bead hovering over its head, fleeing without a backward glance.

The three mighty Deity Transformation True Monarchs of the East Continent, no matter if they burned essence blood, could merely hold their ground undefeated over the Mysterious Sea. Once their essence blood ran dry, they might even get ground down to defeat.

As the turmoil subsided, Chen Mobai withdrew the Yi Yuan Avatar and approached the duo, voicing his thanks for their assistance.

"It's a shame we let this chance slip today; the old flood dragon won't be so reckless next time."

Dustless True Monarch gazed in the direction the old flood dragon had fled, brimming with regret.

"Though the Earth Element Sealing includes the term 'realm,' it's not a genuine Law Domain in the end, so it can't fully cut off the link between the Sea Suppressing Bead and the Mysterious Sea."

Da Kong True Monarch started breaking down the insights and takeaways from the just-ended fight, pointing out that his cultivation success stemmed from his skill at reviewing battles—from the Qi Cultivation stage onward, he replayed each magic clash, growing ever more powerful.

"Oh, so the Law Domain holds such immense power?"

Hearing this, Chen Mobai felt a surge of curiosity.

Although Law Domain gets mentioned on the Immortal Gate side, neither the Spiritual Venerable nor any Deity Transformation cultivators from Kunpeng Daoist Institute have truly grasped it; Qi Yuheng came closest, yet he applied it to Body Forging, treading a different route.

Still, the Law Domain in Tianhe Realm mirrors the classic Law Domain outlined in the Six Imperial Scripture.

Both involve forging a miniature world.

Unlike the Immortal Gate approach, where the portal helps grasp the Power of Void from Core Formation to build the domain, Tianhe Realm's Law Domain relies purely on personal aptitude.

Thus, those who historically crossed the entry point were usually prodigies in the void path, often with the Void Spirit Body.

As a result, the data pool remains tiny; even as a Deity Transformation, Chen Mobai lacked in-depth details.

"True mastery of the Law Domain comes only at Nascent Soul; once shaped, it forms a full world where one dictates the Great Tao’s rules. Trapping the Sea Suppressing Bead inside equals banishing it to the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm, similar to how the Primordial Water Control Banner severs its hold on the Mysterious Sea."

Da Kong True Monarch unpacked the deep secrets of the Law Domain for Chen Mobai.

Across eras, only a handful of ascendants from Taixu Piaomiao Palace wielded the Law Domain, and most bore the Void Spirit Body.

Because of that, the current Taixu Saintess of the East Continent, post-Nascent Soul Formation, devotes most of her efforts to training at the Central State base, carrying great expectations.

"I see!"

At these words, Chen Mobai gained sudden clarity.

He stood just a single step from commanding the Law Domain.

Nevertheless, to kill the old flood dragon, the Law Domain alone might not cut it; after this trap, the old flood dragon probably won't let the Sea Suppressing Bead stray from its body anymore, so tackling it would demand plans to seal and restrain them as a unit.

In his thoughts, Chen Mobai figured less than four years remained before Purple Cloud Palace arrived from the Immortal Gate side, and he had to eliminate the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court threat beforehand.

Otherwise, even back in the Immortal Gate, worries would linger.

"In the Upper Realm, Beixuan Heavenly Lord of Jellyfish Palace turned down Yuan Qingque senior’s bid to borrow the Primordial Water Control Banner, so resolving the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court looks like it falls to us alone."

Chen Mobai shared another update, passed on by Ni Yuanzhong four years back.

It seemed Yuan Qingque and the Nine Heavens Morality Sect's fame didn't carry enough weight.

"With us around, that old flood dragon won't dare step foot outside the Mysterious Sea."

Dustless True Monarch's statement hinted at his intent to team up with Chen Mobai in watching over the East Barbarians.

Boosted by the Three Mystic Jade Dragon Pill for his breakthrough, he saw it as a debt to Chen Mobai; though the latter didn't know, he aimed to settle it as best he could given the situation.

"Oh, if senior can spare time to help guard, I could head to Mount Wudi and refine this clock; once it hits sixth rank superior grade, we might fully crush the Sea Suppressing Bead."

Catching Dustless True Monarch’s offer, Chen Mobai’s eyes sparkled, sensing all elements for toppling the old flood dragon falling into place.

"That's no big deal. My Xuanji Instrument ranks with heaven and earth; on the East Continent, it matches the Sea Suppressing Bead over the Mysterious Sea. But elevating the Primordial Clock isn't easy—are you certain you want to push it now, my friend?"

Dustless True Monarch brimmed with assurance in his defensive stance of holding firm, yet he urged Chen Mobai against rash moves. As Deity Transformation True Monarchs with vast lifespans, they could afford thorough preparations before chasing such slim odds.

"Don't worry, senior; I've run through this in my head countless thousands of times, and my confidence runs high."

Over the last ten years, apart from clashing with the old flood dragon, Chen Mobai had poured efforts into refining the Primordial Clock with rare sixth rank materials like the Leaving Fire Divine Sand; he just needed the Boundary Stone and a sixth rank Spirit Vein to try that upgrade.

"If you put it that way, it sounds like you're over fifty percent sure. I wish you fortune here, hoping that after Yi Yuan senior, our East Continent gains another sixth rank Artifact Refiner."

Dustless True Monarch eased up at Chen Mobai’s confidence, aware the youth before him possessed a remarkably prudent nature.

Chen Mobai paused briefly and held back from correcting Dustless True Monarch.

How could it be merely fifty percent?

In the past decade, beyond fights with the old flood dragon, he had devoted all else to mulling this over, weighing every factor that could impact the artifact’s rise, assured of a ninety-nine percent shot.

"Relax, young friend; with me and junior Dustless here, we'll watch this frontier for you."

Da Kong True Monarch burned with zeal for Chen Mobai to reach sixth rank Artifact Refiner status; then, they'd boast the top talent in the East Continent.

"Thank you!"

Chen Mobai felt deep appreciation.

After briefing the two Deity Transformation elders, he visited the Five Elements Sect and conferred on this with Mo Douguang.

Mo Douguang: "Don't worry, Master; I'll hold the fort."

The million-strong cultivator force of the East Barbarians, under the guise of supporting the Five Elements Sect, effectively put Mo Douguang in command. Still, he'd relay plans and maneuvers to reps from the Three Great Sacred Lands, who, given Chen Mobai’s sway, had Zhang Pankong and the rest eagerly heeding his counsel.

"Just keep my absence under wraps; no need to tell the sacred lands’ reps."

Chen Mobai gave his final caution, and Mo Douguang nodded gravely, grasping the importance.

...

Mount Wudi.

Leaving Yi Yuan Immortal City behind, Chen Mobai masked his aura, keeping it from Lian Shui's notice.

But he couldn't slip past Xiao Yuli's senses.

As Palace Master of Yi Yuan Dao Palace, she oversaw the full Mountain Protection Array, and Chen Mobai’s arrival had pinged her alert.

"Greetings, Sect Master." Xiao Yuli reached Yi Yuan Hall and spotted Chen Mobai’s familiar figure, breathing a soft sigh of relief as she bowed quickly. "What brings you to the Mount Wudi branch today? Has the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court threat been dealt with..."

Chen Mobai spun around, and catching sight of the Primordial Clock cradled in his hand, Xiao Yuli immediately remembered his prior words, making her slender body quiver faintly.
