I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2576 - 1169: Obtaining the Sun God Tree

Chen Mobai perceived that Peach Blossom Sage was concealing a secret from him.

Nevertheless, given the profound mysteries lurking in the Dance Instruments, Patching Heaven, and Kunpeng lineages, he opted against probing further.

Ultimately, since Heavenly Blessing raised no warning, the matter was merely a minor issue he could effortlessly handle.

The Jumang lineage held potential only up to Divinity Transformation at best. But after departing Purple Cloud Palace, Chen Mobai's power had surged to a level beyond even his own comprehension.

He was confident that facing the old Flood Dragon once more, he could dispatch it with even greater speed.

After directing Yunhai to examine the newly conquered Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation—verifying it could draw from the entire Earth Element Star's Spirit Vein to power the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon—Chen Mobai stepped into his Law Domain.

There, he planted the three Great Spirit Plants and sprinkled some Water of Ten Thousand Transformations prepared by Qing Nu.

With the Law of the Five Tones boosting his Spirit Plant Master skills to Fifth Rank, plus the adjustable soil in his Domain and the Primordial Great Tao fostering a perfect growth aura, the plants flourished without delay.

Still, maturing them for use in Lasting Spring Cultivation practitioners would demand considerable time, even aided by Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.

Chen Mobai pondered fusing the Great Chun Divine Tree straight into his Domain later on, achieving it all at once. However, he suspected the Great Chun Spirit would refuse.

Task finished, Chen Mobai headed to the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains to meet Qi Yuheng.

"If she consents to starting the war and departs Earth Element Star alongside us, I won't oppose her advancing from Nascent Soul to Deity Transformation."

Qi Yuheng fully aligned with Chen Mobai's perspective, as expected.

Though the Immortal Gate wielded the Primordial Bead technique—akin to an inexhaustible void spiritual vein—it fell short of sustaining numerous deities.

Qi Yuheng had resolved to depart post-war, following Bai Guang Spirit Venerable's path toward Void Refining at the Central Dojo.

The Immortal Gate currently boasted six Great Deities; including Peach Blossom would total seven.

Qi Yuheng figured two or three left behind would be enough.

Qing Ping, refiner of the Primordial Bead, absolutely had to remain; lacking a successor, he might linger on Earth Element Star till his final days.

Figures like Cheng Xuan, burdened by extreme age, faced only death if staying—better to exit together. Yunhai and Narcissus fit well, one managing the Kunpeng lineage, the other ruling the Sea Territory.

Ideally, though, Chen Mobai and Qing Ping should stay.

But Chen Mobai's status was too exalted; he'd vowed early to guard during the war and, if he miraculously survived, depart anyway.

Peach Blossom had to join them regardless.

Without that guarantee, Qi Yuheng couldn't rest easy.

"I'll relay the message to her and let her choose."

Discussion wrapped, Chen Mobai informed the other deities too, and Narcissus along with Qing Ping voiced no dissent.

…

"Master, what do we do?"

Peach Blossom Sage, upon getting Chen Mobai's transmission, displayed clear anxiety.

"Simply depart temporarily; your true body stays on Earth Element Star, so even via portal travel, mysterious senses let you return."

A face materialized on the Peach Tree trunk, serenely assessing the predicament.

Peach Blossom Sage: "Pure Yang True Monarch demands I swear never to return."

"Then follow their demands."

Peach Blossom Sage heard this and frowned in confusion.

If return proved impossible, what use was sensing the body's position?

The face unveiled its reasoning, instantly enlightening Peach Blossom Sage, who nodded vigorously.

…

One month passed, and Peach Blossom Sage reached the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains. She swore the oath before Qi Yuheng and the deities, then drew Sixth Rank Spiritual Energy from the Immortal Gate to begin her Nascent Soul to Deity Transformation.

Her thousand-year foundation proved remarkably potent.

During her recent Purple Cloud Palace trip, grasping her transformation's secrets and securing ample spiritual energy, she swiftly formed a Soul Dharma Aspect embryo.

Due to lineage bonds, Chen Mobai assigned his Second Primeval Spirit to watch over it briefly, while he returned to Tianhe Realm.

A situation there demanded his attention.

Outside Wandering Mountain, as Ku Zhu prepared to depart, a crisp, melodious female voice called from within: "Senior, hold on—the master summons you."

Ku Zhu whirled around at once, bowing toward Wandering Mountain's depths. Moments later, the grand formation's barriers parted, opening a gateway.

A graceful female cultivator in palace attire, with skin like fresh snow, appeared and ushered him in.

"Might you be the Southern Mountain Fairy serving under Blue Emperor?"

Prior to offering treasures, Ku Zhu had researched Wandering Mountain thoroughly, aware that aside from Chen Mobai, only disciple Luo Yixuan stayed constantly at his side.

"Senior flatters me—please use my name."

Luo Yixuan always comported herself with refined poise among strangers. With a gentle smile, she beckoned Ku Zhu to follow toward Chen Mobai.

"Many lingering restrictions dot this area—tread carefully, Senior, lest you err."

Ku Zhu acknowledged with a nod.

Wandering Mountain's ruins fame spread across East Barbarians regions. Yet straddling Five Elements Sect and Sun Bathing Sea borders, Kong Sang Valley meddled little. Still, certain sect disciples posed as rogue cultivators to seize Fanhai Sect's lingering opportunities here.

As Submerged Abyss Island heir, Ku Zhu itched to explore the old haunt of Fanhai Sect, a Hall of Ten Directions powerhouse.

Entering the restrictions, he yearned to scrutinize surroundings closely, but then his Tianyuan Dao Fruit stirred oddly.

[What's happening?]

Per Submerged Abyss Island lore, this signaled proximity to Huangquan Dao Fruit or its influences.

Ku Zhu inwardly reeled yet kept outward calm. In Divinity Transformation domain, he refrained from probing via Dao Fruit power, fearing detection.

His prior Eastern Wilderness encounter with Chen Mobai drew no such Tianyuan Dao Fruit response, confirming Huangquan Dao Fruit absent from Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor's grasp.

Was it concealed here in Wandering Mountain?

Tailing Luo Yixuan, Ku Zhu strained to pinpoint the Tianyuan Dao Fruit's vibes for a location estimate.

But he soon detected irregularity.

The vibes held unnaturally steady.

Meaning, it lingered right beside him?

Doubt surging at first, Ku Zhu abruptly realized, narrowing eyes at the guiding Luo Yixuan.

On her person?

Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor's disciple wielded Huangquan power?

Uncovering this, Ku Zhu's shock deepened.

By Nine Heavens Morality Sect codes, this equaled demonic path cultivation, meriting Five Elements Sect or Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor intervention.

Yet Ku Zhu locked this knowledge away.

He grasped well: such rules bound only lesser powers below Holy Land tier. Should Luo Yixuan's demonic arts surface publicly, Nine Heavens Morality Sect would scapegoat her solely, sparing Five Elements Sect and Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor.

They might even spare her.

After all, Chen Mobai—having crushed Bai Wu and the elder Flood Dragon—stood undisputed as East Continent's premier Divinity Transformation.

Nine Heavens Morality Sect lacked strength to judge him.

Having reasoned thus, Ku Zhu resolved to bury the secret deep; any leak, and even fleeing to West Continent wouldn't dodge Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor's execution sword.

"Senior, we've reached—master awaits above."

Here, Luo Yixuan paused, activating a talisman that summoned a five-colored cloud from the peak. Boarding with Ku Zhu, they ascended in breaths to the summit.

"Greetings, Qing Emperor Senior!"

Spotting Chen Mobai sipping tea nearby, Ku Zhu promptly saluted.

"Sit."

Chen Mobai indicated the adjacent seat.

Approaching, Ku Zhu offered three storage bags first: "These came from slaying Bai Wu Ancestor..."

The puppet Chen Mobai stationed in Wandering Mountain caught this report, drawing him here in person.

"Tragic waste of a heavenly treasure like the Sun God Tree."

Divine sense scan revealed in one bag a known spirit plant brimming with potent fire Yuan Qi. Long ago, by his Sun God Tree cave abode, he'd beheld this Rank-5 treasure.

Though he'd eyed acquiring it once, he never anticipated this turn of events.

To an Immortal Gate native like him, Bai Wu Ancestor had squandered this boon shamefully, stirring Chen Mobai's regret.

"Severed as it is, a secret art preserved most elemental energy—blessing in disaster,"

Ku Zhu noted. Post-Bai Wu's fall, he'd inspected the bags; absent attribute clash with Sun God Tree, he'd have hated yielding this prize.

"Xuan, summon your sister to check if she can revive it,"

Chen Mobai approved, as Luo Yixuan presented the bags before him.

Ku Zhu tactfully withdrew.

"Limited utility for me, yet supreme for bolstering my sect's roots—I accept gladly. Does Daoist Ku Zhu seek any assistance?"

Ever reciprocating kindness, Chen Mobai pledged return for the treasure gift.

"Kong Sang Valley, my master's legacy, constrains me now. With your sect dominating East Barbarians, Eastern Wilderness-like peace looms ahead. I plan West Continent vengeance shortly and beseech Qing Emperor Senior to shelter my sect in my absence."

Chen Mobai nodded—trivial request.

As Ku Zhu neared exit, Chen Mobai uttered a core-shaking line: "Daoist seems to carry a seal-bound Dao Fruit; if willing, my Primordial True Qi can shatter every seal."
