I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2545 - 1148: Patrolling the Coast (Part 2)

The Five Elements Sect provided an array of exceptional benefits during this campaign.

In the ongoing conflict against the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, the Five Elements Sect implemented a strategy mirrors their tactics on the East Wu Battlefield: cultivators earned merit points by eradicating demonic beasts of specific ranks. These points were then exchanged for a treasure trove of essential supplies, including cultivation techniques, medicinal pills, magical instruments, and combat arrays.

Regarding elixirs, the Sect offered everything from standard cultivation boosters and body-tempering concoctions to rare Foundation Establishment items, Five Elements Golden Core Pills, and even the coveted Infant-Feeding Elixir. These were readily available because Chen Mobai had stockpiled numerous Sun Holy Fruits, allowing Qing Nu to produce three full furnaces of Infant-Feeding Elixirs in her spare time.

Although this marked the first time the Infant-Feeding Elixir had appeared outside the inner circle of the Five Elements Sect, its reputation among the cultivators of the East Continent was already legendary.

This widespread acclaim stemmed from the consistent and remarkably high success rate of Nascent Soul Formation within the Five Elements Sect over the recent years.

Furthermore, Yuan Zhen shared her own story, crediting her successful Nascent Soul breakthrough to the Infant-Feeding Elixir granted to her by the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor.

Knowing that she had failed three previous attempts before finally succeeding, the cultivators across the East Continent instantly recognized the immense worth of such an elixir.

This single offering proved sufficient to entice every Golden Core cultivator in the East Continent yearning for a breakthrough to rush to the front lines, hoping to trade the lives of demonic beasts for a chance to secure the Infant-Feeding Elixir.

It could be said that excluding the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill—which assists in Divinity Transformation—the Five Elements Sect held an inventory that rivaled the Dao Morale Sect during its prime at the Ruins.

Magic artifacts were equally plentiful. When Chen Mobai crafted a Fifth Rank Artifact at Huozhen Immortal City, he drew the finest artifact refiners from across the East Continent. Many of these masters eventually settled in the Eastern Wilderness, and the Five Elements Sect secured the rights to nearly all the artifacts they subsequently produced.

Under the guidance of Chen Lingming, disciples from the Yi Yuan Dao Palace had been trained in elite Artifact Refining Techniques since their youth. Even with many experts reassigned to maintain the Treasure Ships, the quality of their craftsmanship remained peerless.

There were even mass-produced flying swords and Five Elements Magic Robes bearing Chen Mobai’s own mark. Whether they were Fourth Rank or Lifespan Artifact Embryos, these items were highly prized. The latter, due to their unique properties and low merit requirements, were snatched up by Foundation Establishment practitioners immediately, while some Golden Core cultivators considered trading their traditional gear to acquire them.

This wasn't solely because Chen Mobai was the premier artifact refiner in the East Continent, but because his standards of quality were simply unmatched.

To the cultivators of the East Continent, every piece he produced appeared flawless and worthy of a lifetime of use.

As for spirit talismans, they were legendary in their own right. The talismans previously sold at the South Mountain Shop in the East Land had long ago become rare, limited-edition artifacts.

The newly unveiled Heaven Heart Sword Talisman proved even more hypnotic to sword cultivators, while those outside that path were eager to store a few as a desperate insurance measure.

With such rewards as bait, the vast majority of East Continent’s powerhouses were more than satisfied to remain in the East Barbarians and combat the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court.

"Senior Brother Song has sent word that the Mysterious Sea Monster Race is staging a massive retreat across the ocean surface!"

While Mo Douguang was reviewing tactical plans with fellow Nascent Soul cultivators, Duan Shuyu arrived with this urgent report.

"Is it a feint to lure us out and force our hand?" Mo Douguang immediately wondered.

"Let's investigate for ourselves," suggested Wu Tianchi of the Nine Heavens Morality Sect. Given that all present were Nascent Soul cultivators, they felt secure enough to survey the battlefield despite the lack of a Divinity Transformation practitioner.

Soon, more than a dozen streaks of light pierced the sky as they exited the protection of the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation to hover over the sea.

"By the Dao, they are actually retreating!" Wu Tianchi remarked in confusion and astonishment as he watched the thick swarms of demonic beasts diving into the waves, swimming frantically toward the deep ocean.

"This looks like a total rout," Zhang Pankong observed. Using a Void Secret Technique to track a dozen Fourth Rank beasts, he noticed they ignored their elite subordinates and fled in wild directions as fast as they could.

It was as if an unspeakable terror had arrived, and they feared being devoured if they were even a second too late.

At that exact moment, the atmosphere shifted, and their expressions grew grave.

They turned toward the horizon where the sky met the sea, feeling the unmistakable aura of a True Spirit in Divinity Transformation drifting over.

A moment later, however, their fear turned to pure delight.

Chen Mobai was approaching at lightning speed, standing atop the massive carcass of an ancient Flood Dragon.

With a thunderous crash, the dragon's corpse plowed through the waves, churning up massive swells that crushed hidden demonic beasts beneath the surface, leaving shattered remains in its wake.

In this single journey alone, Chen Mobai had inadvertently dispatched tens of thousands of monsters.

"What a coincidence to see you all here," Chen Mobai said with a smile as he stepped off the dragon's body and descended before the Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Greetings, True Monarch!" The group bowed immediately, eyes wide in disbelief as they gazed at the lifeless body of the old Flood Dragon, a hole pierced through its skull by the Primordial Yang Sword.

This creature had been a dominant True Spirit of the Tianhe Realm, wielding the Sixth Rank Supreme Treasure known as the Sea Suppressing Bead, and was considered invincible in the Mysterious Sea.

Yet, it had been slain so easily?

"I have dealt with the elder Flood Dragon and warned the younger one. I suspect they will not dare leave their Dragon Palace for some time. The war is effectively over," Chen Mobai remarked casually. His words left the gathered Nascent Soul cultivators stunned, followed by a surge of unbridled joy.

The menace of the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court had plagued the East Continent for millennia. Even during the golden age of the Eastern Emperor Court, they had struggled to truly eliminate this threat.

Yet, today, they finally saw the light of victory.

They did not doubt him as they would a peerless master like Dustless Da Kong; the powers of Divinity Transformation were already far beyond their ability to fathom.

They stared at Chen Mobai with profound reverence.

Having previously slain the White Bone Demon King and now crushing a dragon in the Mysterious Sea, the Five Elements Sect Master had cemented himself as the uncontested sovereign of the East Continent.

"Junior Brother Mo, the moment to press our advantage has arrived," Wu Tianchi said, turning to him with an eagerness for the Nine Heavens Morality Sect to storm the Dragon Palace and finish off the remaining clan members.

"I will issue the command to Duan Shuyu at once..." Seeing that Chen Mobai offered no objection, Mo Douguang used his Heavenly Communication Device to relay the order to Duan Shuyu, while simultaneously opening the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation to mobilize the remaining forces to reclaim the occupied territories.

Within moments, an armada of Treasure Ships surged forward, glowing brilliantly as they plunged into the Mysterious Sea like a volley of arrows, pursuing the fleeing remnants of the monster race.

"It appears Ling Ming and the rest have made incredible strides over these years!" Chen Mobai noted with genuine surprise at the sight of ten thousand Treasure Ships.

Many of these had been repurposed from the Panghuang Mountain Boundary Stone, providing the East Continent with the naval strength needed to turn the tide.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, the Great Elder has guided us relentlessly for over a decade, focusing every resource on these Treasure Ships and successfully refurnishing several Fourth Rank Power Furnaces..." Xuan Shui explained, stepping forward on behalf of Chen Lingming.

"After the smoke clears, I shall grant the Five Emperors Mountain branch a proper reward," Chen Mobai replied. Looking at the refined Xuan Shui, he thought of her brother, Lian Shui, and considered potentially opening the Longevity Sect’s Divinity Transformation techniques to the Yi Yuan Dao Palace.

The techniques left behind at Five Emperors Mountain were limited; only the Yi Yuan Dao Scripture reached Divinity Transformation, while others strictly peaked at the Nascent Soul level. This was likely because the original disciples chosen by the Yi Yuan True Monarch lacked the innate talent required for the higher levels of the Five Elements Immortal Scripture.

Consequently, the Yi Yuan Dao Palace’s techniques were accessible, but lacked the terminal path to Divinity Transformation.

While their current Nascent Soul cultivators might not be able to master the higher chapters of the Five Elements Immortal Scripture, the knowledge therein represented an entirely new horizon for them—something many would sacrifice everything to glimpse.

"Thank you, Sect Master; it is merely our duty," Xuan Shui replied with a deep bow, her expression radiant with joy at his promise.
