I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2601 - 1186: The Great Endeavor
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Upon his return to the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai mentioned the Portal situation, leaving everyone's faces filled with shock.
Yet, certain individuals revealed expressions of sudden understanding, including Qi Yuheng and Tao Hua.
The reason Qi Yuheng knew was the inheritance passed down in the Kunpeng Lineage. Prior to Ancestor Long Wei's departure from the Immortal Gate, he handed over all his knowledge to successors, which naturally encompassed details about the Portal.
Tao Hua's awareness clearly stemmed from her extended lifespan, possibly from tales shared by Ancestor Evergreen in ancient times.
"In the past, Ancestor Zhang Daoshun entered the Void through the Sword Dao, which allowed him to truly manipulate the Portal. After his fall, Ancestor Zhong Li was the closest to Cultivating Void, but unfortunately, he ultimately quietly passed away. Fortunately, in this generation of the Immortal Gate, we have the prodigious talent of you, Pure Yang."
Having delved into the ancient records at the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, Qi Yuheng uncovered the pertinent details and spoke with deep emotion.
"Now that we have 12 Dao Merits, can we teleport to the Central Dojo?"
Narcissus was the one who voiced this. Though she preferred staying put, the Central Dojo had captivated her since childhood tales from the Spiritual Venerable.
The Spiritual Venerable had departed the Immortal Gate to head there.
Should the chance arise, she yearned to realize this dream in the Spiritual Venerable's stead.
"I’m afraid not. In the past, when the Five Ancestors of Xianmen came, although they only used 3 Dao Merits, they had to transport through several dojos midway and used a lot of resources to exchange for the teleportation slot..." Tao Hua revealed surprising details to Chen Mobai.
"The immediate priority for the Immortal Gate is to replenish the vast amount of Spiritual Energy consumed by the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon. I’m not sure if the Portal can purchase Spirit Veins?"
Qing Ping remained the steadiest among them, knowing he'd handle the Immortal Gate's future Spiritual Energy shortage. Thus, he promptly proposed his idea.
"Let me check..."
Chen Mobai promptly pulled out the Portal, entered search terms, organized and copied the results, then shared them with the others.
"The cheapest price for a Sixth Rank Spirit Vein is 1 Dao Merit. Depending on the Spiritual Energy Value, the most expensive Sixth Rank Peak Spirit Vein can reach up to 15 Dao Merits."
Chen Mobai summed up after sifting through all Spirit Vein listings.
"What about Seventh-rank Spirit Veins?"
Qi Yuheng inquired eagerly.
"The cheapest, on special offer, is 49 Dao Merits."
Qi Yuheng went quiet right after Chen Mobai's words.
"The Immortal Gate only has a balance of 12 Dao Merits, so they must be utilized to the fullest extent. This matter needs to be deliberated further."
Cheng Xuan spoke in a steady, prudent manner, earning nods from all.
"Purchasing some of the herbs that the Immortal Gate lacks could significantly enhance the strength of the upper echelons of the Immortal Gate’s cultivators in a short period of time..."
Given the Immortal Gate's isolated position, Chen Mobai suggested this, as their Dao Merits could cover only one shipping cost. Buying from one shop made sense, and with 1 Dao Merit, heaps of Rank-5 herbs could be acquired, fixing the core issue of lacking High Rank Elixirs.
"Pure Yang has a point, but I think the best approach is to utilize the Dao Merits to first find the nearest dojo from here. In this way, even if a Divinity Transformation leaves in the future, they will have the best route and avoid adventurous teleportation like the Spiritual Venerable and White Light Ancestor."
Everyone concurred with Qi Yuheng's proposal as well.
The Divinity Transformation cultivators of the Immortal Gate thus launched a heated debate over spending the 12 Dao Merits.
In the end, they forged a consensus.
Step one: secure a star map of the whole Great Thousand Universe.
Chen Mobai's search, however, turned up nothing.
Only partial star maps for specific dojos existed, and even these lacked full detail; vast regions bore fuzzy warnings or mentions of Daoist Monarch habitats urging extreme care.
Exploring many shops, Chen Mobai noted that star maps always obscured zones with Daoist Monarchs.
The Central Dojo's core appeared utterly blank, as Pure Yang dwelled there.
Not even local experts dared chart it, given Pure Yang’s omnipotent might; marking its spot today would alert them immediately.
No cultivator views such deeds as kind.
Hence, purchasable detailed star maps in the Great Thousand Universe cover mainly Cultivating Void hotspots. Shop owners told Chen Mobai that hefty Dao Merit payments could yield maps noting Pure Yang or Harmonization Dao Lord sites, sans illustrations.
While these beings evade depiction in text or image, the balanced tensions among Great Thousand Universe's Pure Yangs and Dao Lords allow marking dojo spots without issue, if undocumented further.
Chen Mobai found this fascinating, yet the steep prices meant adding it to his future wishlist pending ample Dao Merits.
Chen Mobai felt deepest thanks for his Portal's built-in positioning.
This let him gauge his universe sector via shop locales, then hunt a matching regional star map.
As he intended just 1 Dao Merit for this star map purchase.
