I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2580 - 1172: Encircling the City and Blocking the Sea

"The Spirit Vein here has already collapsed. If you want to set up a Formation to separate the sea, you will only be able to do so by using a large amount of Spirit Stones..."

Having heard Zhuo Ming's explanation, Chen Mobai inspected the location and pondered methods to reclaim and cultivate the terrain below.

"That would be a bit unworthy, the cost is too high."

Zhuo Ming shook her head right away. Through the Earth Mother Seal, she detected that the Spirit Vein beneath the former Golden Crow Immortal City spanned nearly the whole Eastern Yi Coast. It had all sunk into the Mysterious Sea following the Sun God Tree's destruction.

Shielding such a vast region with a Formation against seawater would demand sky-high quantities of Spirit Stones each year. No amount of crop yields could justify that expense.

"Master, we could first develop the core Rank-5 Spirit Field here at the Golden Crow Immortal City, and then find ways to extend from there..."

Drawing from her extensive farming expertise, Zhuo Ming offered her suggestion.

"It’s possible, but it’s a bit too much trouble."

After listening, Chen Mobai remarked. Given his elevated position and Realm now, such ventures held little necessity for him.

"Master, anyway, I need to stay to take care of the Sun God Tree, I can use the other time here."

A deep passion for farming had taken root in Zhuo Ming. Witnessing vast fertile expanses lie wasted beneath the waves pained her heart, prompting her eager offer.

"If you are willing, I naturally have no objections. But more than these, I hope you can make another breakthrough in your Cultivation Level."

Chen Mobai offered his guidance. Several years prior, during seclusion, Zhuo Ming's Ninefold Law Body had advanced to Rank-4, while her cultivation hit Core Formation perfection. Backed by her solid base and the supplies he provided, Nascent Soul was within her grasp anytime.

Yet, with the Five Elements Sect now boasting ample Nascent Soul Cultivators for defense, Chen Mobai urged her to refine her True Qi to the extreme prior to advancing.

Besides the Yellow Emperor’s Benevolence Scripture, she cultivated alongside Primordial True Qi.

At Core Formation's apex, the Yellow Emperor’s Benevolence Scripture allowed condensing up to seventy-two strands of True Qi, matching the Terrestrial Evil count. She had perfected the forty-nine from Primordial True Qi long ago via Five Elements Spiritual Fruit.

Zhuo Ming now possessed sixty strands of Thick Virtue True Qi. Beyond the final twelve, her True Qi worked to merge the Terrestrial Evil Qi concurrently.

This represented the profoundest foundational technique of the Yellow Emperor’s Benevolence Scripture.

One who forms Nascent Soul and attains Divinity Transformation this way soars above the earth, wielding boundless Divine Sense and Mana.

In history, merely two or three from the Longevity Sect had accomplished this feat.

Gathering a full set of seventy-two Terrestrial Evil Qi proved exceedingly arduous; often, a cultivator's Lifespan would end before completion.

Breaking through to Nascent Soul first might allow later collection for External Incarnation practice.

Yet Zhuo Ming faced no such dilemma.

Chen Mobai had readied a lab-made full set of seventy-two Terrestrial Evil Qi for her, letting her progress steadily in cultivation.

Additionally, he tasked the Taixu Miaomiao Palace with gathering minerals across the Five Continents and Four Seas for Zhuo Ming’s Lifespan Artifact, the All-things Altruistic Cauldron. Just a few hundred remained. Post-war with the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, Zhang Pankong—gifted a box of Enlightenment Tea by Chen Mobai—took personal charge to finish swiftly.

Thus, Zhuo Ming grew occupied anew before Nascent Soul formation.

Beyond refining True Qi and integrating Terrestrial Evil, she had to study Artifact Refining basics, ensuring the All-things Altruistic Cauldron upgraded alongside her Nascent Soul breakthrough.

Though Chen Mobai could effortlessly elevate the cauldron to Fifth Rank himself, he preferred she handle it personally, deepening her grasp of the Yellow Emperor’s Benevolence Scripture.

"Rest assured, Master, these are small matters and won’t hinder my cultivation."

Zhuo Ming brimmed with assurance on this point.

Having formed her Comprehension Path Golden Core, she ranked as East Continent's premier genius. With spirit vein and farming overhauls done in East Wasteland and East Wu, she believed Eastern Yi—as sect land—deserved no neglect.

"Mm, you are prudent, and I’m assured of the tasks you undertake. Just maintain your discretion."

Chen Mobai nodded softly, respecting Zhuo Ming’s pursuits without meddling.

Immortal Gates held maritime farming arts too, mainly for seawater-tolerant herbs and rice managed by sea beasts.

Once these issues settled, Chen Mobai considered fetching seeds from Narcissus for Zhuo Ming to experiment with.

Still, that covered only part of it. Reclaiming millions of underwater Spirit Field acres demanded superior approaches.

In their discussion, master and disciple completed inspecting the Sun God Tree roots.

"It’s a pity. With the collapse of the Spirit Veins and erosion by the Mysterious Sea, its spirituality has almost entirely vanished."

Regret etched Zhuo Ming's face as she pulled her hand from the roots.

Long ago, after ancestor Bai Wu felled and claimed the Divine Tree, the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court—to demolish this Immortal City barring them for millennia—deployed the Sea Suppressing Bead of Calm Abyss, summoning Mysterious Sea might to crush and scatter the Spirit Vein.

As the Spirit Vein nexus's heart, the roots endured the fiercest Mysterious Sea assault.

Via All Things Spiritual Communication, Zhuo Ming detected utter stillness. Yet this peak Rank-5 Spirit Plant remained a heavenly marvel. Chen Mobai’s Echoes in the Void caught its faint lingering vitality.

"With such severe damage, there is definitely no way to combine it. I will cast ’Dead Wood Meets Spring’ to see if I can revive its vitality."

Chen Mobai recalled the Longevity Sect's Spirit Plant rescue Grand Spell, once vital for the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple.

Thankfully, the Rank-5 Sun God Tree fell within this Grand Spell's salvage scope.

"Master, even if we save it, it cannot be moved, and the Spirit Vein here has already collapsed..."

As Chen Mobai prepared to act, Zhuo Ming voiced her worries promptly.

The prior Five-Cornered Ancient Maple rescue succeeded because Mount Tianpeng's Spirit Vein endured Heavenly Tribulation, letting revived vitality thrive in known earth energies.

"If it can be revived, this Spirit Plant will definitely not remain at Rank-5. In this case, the early stage does not require a Rank-5 Spirit Vein, and such investment I’m willing to make as a teacher."

These concerns didn't faze Chen Mobai. At his cultivation height and with Five Elements Sect's standing, persistent effort could reclaim Eastern Yi coast from the sea entirely.

Mid-discussion, Chen Mobai invoked the Primordial Bead, channeling Primordial Great Dao to convert Qing Emperor’s Longevity True Qi.

Dead Wood Meets Spring unleashed, showering lush green radiance that rippled outward, enveloping the vast exposed roots.

At this sight, Zhuo Ming promptly retrieved a vial of Water of Ten Thousand Transformations to aid nearby.

Master and disciple synced perfectly, seizing and igniting the deep-buried vitality strand, letting Water of Ten Thousand Transformations infuse slowly. Soon, warm energies welled from root-embedded earth depths, thawing the chill seabed ruins like a scorching gale.

Sensing this shift, Chen Mobai confirmed Dead Wood Meets Spring's triumph.

Sustaining the Grand Spell, he conferred with Zhuo Ming on subsequent plans.

Roots' vitality stayed too frail for uprooting; they required in-place nurturing to gradually regain strength, draw heavenly essence, and expand before any transplant thoughts.

"Master, we can set up a small formation to enclose this area at the seabed, isolating seawater and using Spirit Stones to drive the formation. I can also mobilize nearby earth energy to serve as the energy for Spirit Plant growth. But we still need to solve the issue of sunlight, which might require borrowing your Haotian Mirror, Master..."

Spiritually linking with the revived Sun God Tree revealed its growth prerequisites to Zhuo Ming.

Spirit Veins and earth energy posed no challenge, but sunlight stumped her.

"Aside from me, only Qing Mei can activate Haotian Mirror, but she is secluding herself to prepare for a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. Having her stationed here long-term for this would be overkill..."

Chen Mobai declined with a headshake.

Unsure if roots could regrow to Rank-5, and eyeing Yin Qingmei’s potential Divinity Transformation, Zhuo Ming agreed stationing her here mismatched her prowess.

As Zhuo Ming mulled alternatives, Chen Mobai devised multiple schemes.

Like crafting a Treasure Bead to mimic sunlight.

His Light Great Dao insight from Purple Cloud Palace, fused with fire, could replicate sunlight at eighty to ninety percent fidelity.

Yet underwater conditions complicated it, hindering Zhuo Ming's oversight post-departure.

Thus resolved, Chen Mobai chose to tap Primordial Bead reserves.

"Ming’er, you go up first."

Uncertain of his aim yet compliant, Zhuo Ming nodded, donned her Earth Spirit Robe, and ascended.

"Senior Sister..."

Luo Yixuan, poised above the waves, spotted her solo emergence and moved to inquire when quakes rattled sea and land.

Beneath her and Fu Zongjue's stunned stares, colossal thick earthen barriers erupted from seabed depths, encircling Golden Crow Immortal City ruins while thrusting skyward boundlessly.

Rumble!

Moments later, thunderous roars echoed as monumental square earthen walls sealed off the submerged Golden Crow Immortal City entirely.

These walls towered a hundred meters over sea level, forming mighty dike rings.

Chen Mobai then withdrew his Primordial True Qi.

Unblocked, Mysterious Sea's endless tides crashed forward with fury, yet the earthen ramparts loomed unyielding as ranges, barring every drop from Immortal City remnants.

Nearby Treasure Ship's East Continent cultivators gaped in awe.

Is this the might of Divinity Transformation!
