I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2582 - 1173: Millennium Plans, Ten-Thousand-Year Grand Designs (Part 2)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
At that very instant, Luo Yixuan unleashed the Ganlin Rainfall Technique. Zhuo Ming emptied a vial of Rank-5 Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, blending it into the downpour to irrigate the Sun God Tree freshly embedded in Wandering Mountain's soil.
"Master, the seal can be lifted now!"
Upon completing her All Things Spiritual Communication scan, Zhuo Ming addressed Chen Mobai, who responded with a nod. The glow from the Primordial Bead lit up the pit, breaking down the restriction at the Divine Tree's severed end intended to safeguard its spiritual vitality.
Once this restriction vanished, the Sun God Tree's spiritual glow surged wildly from the sliced surface, resembling thick droplets of golden fluid, making the surrounding soil hiss with vapor as if scorched by intense heat.
Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming, master and disciple, collaborated closely—one taming the Divine Tree's potent force while the other tuned Wandering Mountain's spirit vein—enabling the clashing natural powers to gradually achieve a stable equilibrium.
This intricate and demanding procedure would have likely defeated other God-Transcending cultivators from the Tianhe Realm or Fifth Rank Spirit Plant Masters.
Yet Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming coordinated flawlessly, with one reining in the unleashed might of the Rank-5 Sun God Tree and the other fine-tuning via All Things Spiritual Communication. Slowly, the tree's faded limbs and foliage flared brilliantly in a flash.
Right then, rays of sunlight cascaded from the heavens, getting drawn into the verdant-golden leaves.
With Echoes in the Void perpetually engaged, Chen Mobai distinctly perceived a sprout emerging at the fracture point, which swiftly developed into roots fueled by the terrestrial energies Zhuo Ming directed, burrowing profoundly into Wandering Mountain.
After the first root took hold, more followed rapidly, weaving a network underground. The Sun God Tree, previously oozing spiritual fluid nonstop, at last acclimated to Wandering Mountain's spirit vein surroundings.
Still, this marked merely the start; ongoing care was needed until full synchronization occurred between both sides for true peace of mind.
Nevertheless, for the master-disciple pair, attaining this milestone signified triumph.
The rest fell squarely within Zhuo Ming’s domain of skill.
"Ming’er, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Mobai retracted the Thousand Swords Dharma Body and gazed at the ashen-faced Zhuo Ming, drained of spiritual power. He inevitably called forth the Primordial Bead, employing the Co-cultivation Method to transform his Primordial True Qi into Thick Virtue True Qi, channeling it into her frame.
As a God-Transcending powerhouse, Chen Mobai could gather more spiritual energy in one inhalation than Zhuo Ming's total capacity. Thanks to his support, her dantian and qi sea swiftly replenished, and her Gold Core even grew marginally larger.
"It is an honor for a disciple to be able to assist the master."
Regaining her strength, Zhuo Ming rose and bowed deeply to Chen Mobai.
Luo Yixuan observed nearby, noting her master's focus solely on senior sister, and reactivated the Ganlin Rainfall Technique to offer extra moisture for the newly rooted Sun God Tree.
"Xuan, you’ve worked hard as well."
Chen Mobai remarked smilingly, filling Luo Yixuan with delight as her spellcasting grew even more fervent.
Temporarily, the master and his two disciples remained at Wandering Mountain, nurturing the newly transplanted Sun God Tree.
Zhuo Ming's presence meant Chen Mobai had little to handle himself.
Yet word of his emergence from seclusion drew leaders from East Barbarians sectors to offer homage.
Take Chen Lingming, Treasure Ship overseer; spotting Ku Zhu's command token, he dispatched a Rank-4 Treasure Ship to ferry it westward.
"Sect Leader, soon our sect will span beyond the East Continent. This mission includes Elder Mysterious Water accompanying Ku Zhu to the West Continent while surveying its landscape to gauge if our sect’s reach can expand there."
In his report, Chen Lingming outlined his preparations.
Post the epic clash with Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, Chen Mobai granted Yi Yuan Dao Palace access to the Five Elements Immortal Scripture, igniting Nascent Soul cultivators' zeal. Once indolent figures like Mysterious Water and Yan Huo now vied for Five Elements Sect duties to earn merits.
As liaison between Five Elements Sect and Yi Yuan Dao Palace, Chen Lingming eagerly facilitated such efforts.
His West Continent scouting for intel on local powers was his key proposal.
Northern Abyss City posed no barrier, greenlighting it freely, letting Chen Lingming manage assets. Yan Huo's superior artifact forging kept him at Treasure Ship Factory; Mysterious Water claimed this task.
"Truly, the youth are sharp-minded; probing other realms and powers across Five Continents and Four Seas is essential. I've overlooked this amid my seclusion these years..."
Chen Mobai praised Chen Lingming's initiative lavishly.
They delved deeply into Five Elements Sect's prospective paths. Chen Mobai noted Chen Lingming's regional biases in thought but admired his sharp grasp and retention—every pointer etched as ironclad directive for unwavering pursuit.
This sparked Chen Mobai's doubt on naming a successor prematurely, as Chen Lingming outshone E Yun.
In a flash of insight, Chen Mobai conjured moisture into a void map of Five Continents and Four Seas over the peak, unveiling his majestic blueprint to Chen Lingming:
"The Eastern Continent's expanses, though immense, shall one day be wholly cultivated by our human Righteous Path. This aligns with Three Great Sacred Lands' millennial schemes—as cultivator numbers swell, lands grow insufficient, spurring ventures abroad. Our Five Elements Sect stands ready to aid. While I draw breath, our resource stake endures undiminished."
"Yet Five Elements Sect holds sway in Eastern Continent Frontier's Three Regions, limiting our ruin-heartland grip versus Dao Morale Sect and kin. Thus, post fortifying core domains, I intend overseas thrusts."
"A generation back, I crushed Barren Sea Demon Tribe's vanguard, nullifying their menace. Our sect forces could claim it effortlessly. But Barren Sea's scant yields and our manpower shortages confined us to East Wu's adjacent waters, prioritizing commerce and proxies like Flying Sand Sect for resource hunts."
"Mysterious Sea brims with bounties dwarfing Barren Sea and East Continent alike. Though I felled the ancient Flood Dragon, lesser ones linger alongside formidable deep-sea demonic beasts lurking below. Hence, after integrating East Barbarians lands, our sect aims to forge a mighty Five Elements Treasure Ship armada coastside, leveraging overwhelming might to inch into Mysterious Sea's abysses, ultimately subduing it wholly under our emblem."
"Past Mysterious Sea looms West Continent, feeblest among Five Continents and Four Seas. Conquering Mysterious Sea will crown our sect West Continent's overlord. Not by force, but emulating Taixu MiaoMiao Palace's model—planting Sacred Land outposts everywhere across Five Continents, perchance Four Seas, spreading benevolence, virtue's doctrines."
Here, Chen Mobai halted.
Should his ambitions fully bloom, Five Elements Sect's Fruit of Dao would swell to inconceivable potency, eclipsing Immortal Gate's ken.
"Sect Master’s grand vision and great strategies, the disciple is in awe. One day, the Sect Master’s love and righteousness will be praised throughout the entire Five Continents and Four Seas!"
Chen Lingming brimmed with authentic fervor, cheeks tinged red from Chen Mobai’s sweeping designs as he declared.
"Realizing this demands at least a millennium, maybe ten millennia. By then, ascension likely claims me, leaving heirs across eras to carry my torch. You shine brightly."
Chen Mobai addressed Chen Lingming earnestly, eyeing his promise; wedded to Primordial Dao Fruit legacy and Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, Divinity Transformation beckoned vividly.
Devoid of factional favoritism, Chen Mobai knew Five Elements Sect craved a robust helm. Though E Yun might cap at Nascent Soul, Chen Lingming's stellar feats could crown him third-generation sect master.
Overwhelmed by Chen Mobai’s endorsement, Chen Lingming, under Luo Yixuan’s sharp stare, demurred humbly, "The sect master has excellent successors like Senior Sister Zhuo. This disciple is too ashamed to assume such responsibility."
