I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2537 - 1144: Above the Mysterious Sea

Lian Shui stood frozen in sheer terror, sweat cascading down his face. Yet, Xiao Yuli, deeply immersed in the practice of the Yi Yuan Dao Scripture, quickly recalled the seventh-tier secrets preserved within the ancient Immortal Scripture. It was the legendary Primordial Golden Dou! The Sect Master had remarkably mastered a technique so supreme that even the original Yi Yuan Patriarch failed to grasp it. A wave of profound reverence surged through Xiao Yuli as she beheld Chen Mobai.

"The two of you handle the remaining tasks. You surely know what details can be shared and what must remain hushed," Chen Mobai remarked calmly. He retrieved the White Jade Bell—the very tool that had anchored his foundation for the Primordial Golden Dou—dissolving his domain before rising from his meditation cushion to address Xiao Yuli and Lian Shui.

"Rest assured, Sect Master!" The pair nodded fervently, promising to oversee the delicate process of downgrading the Mount Wudi Spirit Vein and concealing the recent demonstration of Chen Mobai's Law Domain.

Chen Mobai offered a curt nod. After gathering the remaining Heavenly Beads and Supreme Grade Spirit Stones from Yi Yuan Hall, he dissolved into a streak of silver light, vanishing from Mount Wudi entirely.

"The Sect Master is nothing short of a divine being!" Lian Shui exclaimed, his admiration genuine. From the moment he received the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture, he had sworn that the Sect Master’s will would be his absolute guide.

"The Sect Master has bestowed the Deity Transformation Technique upon you; treat this as your greatest fortune. Remember, if a second soul learns of this, do not blame me for showing no mercy," Xiao Yuli warned. Having recognized the jade slip, she realized Chen Mobai had handed out such a treasure with alarming nonchalance, prompting her to step in and protect his interests.

"I understand clearly..." Lian Shui immediately grasped her intent and swore an oath before her, guaranteeing the secret would die with him. Despite his pledge, a sigh escaped him; he had been silently wondering if he could drop a hint to his sister, Xuan Shui, given their shared cultivation path.

...Chen Mobai remained oblivious to Xiao Yuli’s efforts to maintain his security. He utilized the Great Void Transference to fix his position through his divine sense, instantly teleporting above the Mysterious Sea. With the Yi Yuan Immortal City’s teleportation array compromised by the Spirit Vein shift, repairs would have to wait for the experts from Taixu Miaomiao Palace. Chen Mobai had no intention of seeking out other Immortal Cities in the East Land for transit. Besides, he welcomed the chance to synchronize his own essence with the Primordial Clock following his recent breakthrough.

After some time, he deployed the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, seating himself upon it. He wove his Law Domain while simultaneously recalibrating his control over the Primordial Clock via his Yi Yuan Avatar. With the divine artifact cooperating fully, he regained a seamless connection. Although the sixth-rank superior grade Primordial Clock had significantly increased in power, the limitations of his Yi Yuan Avatar meant he could not yet draw out its full potential. Nevertheless, it sufficed to restrain the Sea Suppressing Bead, provided he could first break the bead’s tether to the energy of the Mysterious Sea. Given that even an Ascended Monk might struggle to suppress the sheer water power of the ocean, the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court had thrived for ages. While Chen Mobai doubted his current Law Domain could manage this alone without the Primordial Water Control Banner, Da Kong True Monarch’s assurance kept his confidence high. After all, the heritage of the Taixu Miaomiao Palace was second only to the Sky Sea Jellyfish Palace.

Chen Mobai pondered the inscrutable old man from the Beidou Conference. He was now certain the figure was far from an ordinary cultivator. At the very least, he was of the status of the 'Taixu Immortal' from the Central State branch, or perhaps something even greater—an Ascended Monk. This possibility cast a shadow of uncertainty over him. If that were the case, the fact that the Turtle Treasure landed in his possession might have been a calculated act of destiny. Despite the weight of these thoughts, Chen Mobai felt no fear, perhaps because of his time spent attending lectures at the Purple Cloud Palace. Surrounded by the most gifted disciples and the knowledge of the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable, his horizons had been expanded greatly. A sudden pang of homesickness struck him. Back at the Immortal Gate, the return of the Purple Cloud Palace was less than a year away. He would have to deal with the old flood dragon before then.

A formidable killing intent erupted from the East Land, surging toward the depths of the Mysterious Sea. Chen Mobai chose not to alert Dustless or Da Kong; since his Law Domain harnessed the legacy of the Taixu Miaomiao Palace, he preferred to avoid unnecessary explanations. He already possessed most of the knowledge Da Kong held, and he had been holding back his Void Secret Technique, waiting for the perfect moment to test his divine abilities against the dragon.

Passing through the East Mountain Realm, his immense divine sense swept over the center of the Star Heaven Dao Sect, quickly locating Xing Ji, who appeared miraculously unscathed. Upon sensing Chen Mobai’s presence, Xing Ji’s expression shifted, and he soared from the hall to offer a respectful salute to the empty air. "Might I ask which senior is paying a visit?"

"It is I, just passing by. I recalled your struggle during your Divinity Transformation and wished to see if you were faring well. Seeing you intact puts my heart at ease. Pay it no mind, as I am already departing East Yu," Chen Mobai’s voice echoed in Xing Ji’s mind, leaving the latter in a state of conflicted emotion. Still, Xing Ji bowed respectfully toward the Eastern Wilderness. "Blue Emperor, take care. Do return if you find the time."

Already deep in travel, Chen Mobai smiled faintly but offered no reply. He stowed the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo and engaged in Void Teleportation. With several flashes of silver, he bypassed the East Barbarians and arrived directly over the Mysterious Sea. The location of the Royal Court was no mystery; it sat atop the Sea Eye at the ocean's heart. Legends claimed the site held ancient Dao Rhythm from the universe's dawn, a sanctuary where generations of the Royal Court refined their bloodlines and honed their spirit. Despite possessing the Primordial Bead, which provided an endless flow of mana, Chen Mobai slowed his pace, flying leisurely to allow his mind to recover from the strenuous trek.

Upon reaching the destination, he found the concentration of Water Spirit Qi to be at the absolute peak of the Tianhe Realm—though it had not quite crossed into the seventh rank. Chen Mobai invoked the One-Leaf Blindness to mask his presence and carefully expanded his Law Domain, casting a layer of dark clouds over the surface of the sea. Once ready, he struck. A thousand-meter-tall Yi Yuan Avatar descended, standing firmly upon the water. From the void, the White Jade Bell emerged, suspended by a hand wreathed in five-colored radiance, ringing incessantly. Dang! Dang! Dang! The familiar toll shattered the silence, waking the old flood dragon resting in the depths of the undersea palace.

[How bold! To dare an assault on this place once more!] The dragon was instantly consumed by rage. In its mind, holding the upper hand in the war between the Barbarians and the Royal Court, it viewed this as a suicidal act by some desperate Eastern Continent cultivator. In previous skirmishes, the dragon had felt untouchable by those like Chen Mobai, who were forced to operate on the boundary of the sea. Now, sensing the Primordial Clock, it assumed the Eastern Continent’s Deity Transformations were courting death.

While the dragon had considered ending the conflict now that Dustless True Monarch had joined the fray, Chen Mobai’s direct attack provoked both fury and scorn. The center of the sea was millions of miles from the coastline; reinforcements were impossible. In this isolated domain, the dragon was convinced it could leverage the relentless power of the sea to annihilate its enemies, especially the talented youth from the Five Elements Sect whose growth represented a future threat to its life. A feral roar tore through the depths, and the surface erupted in chaos. Gigantic pillars of water surged into the sky, morphing into myriad water dragons that converged on the Yi Yuan Avatar amidst thunder and lightning. Yet, tasks that once required the Avatar’s full strength now met only a subtle shake of the White Jade Bell. With a single chime, the water dragons shattered, the thunder faltering and collapsing into the Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Beam. Chen Mobai prepared to strike, but before he could act, a massive, obsidian dragon tail whipped out of the churning waters, smashing toward him with world-shaking force. The dark clouds descended, utterly concealing his form from the world below.
