I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2603 - 1187: Void Snake

Right after submitting the order, the digital edition of the star map arrived in no time.
Chen Mobai grabbed it immediately and got the Immortal Gate to print copies, handing one to each Divinity Transformation cultivator.
The star map goes by the name "Central Northern Xuanhu Dojo Map".
True to its title, it charts the Xuanhu Dojo. The Xuanyang Star System, home to the Immortal Gate, forms one of the seventy-six star systems comprising this vast dojo.
Inside the Xuanhu Dojo, the Xuanyang Star System lies in the farthest northern reaches.
This places the Immortal Gate at the northernmost edge of the Central Dojo, right on the frontier; small wonder free shipping isn't available.
Chen Mobai and his group zeroed in on the Xuanyang Star System, noting that apart from the Immortal Gate, two thousand three hundred and sixty-seven other planets with cultivators are documented. Yet, most are either approaching the End of Dharma Age or already plunged into it, where even a Nascent Soul struggles to survive.
Seventy-nine planets mirror the Earth Element Star, verified as sites entrusting the Demon Lord's thoughts.
Of these, twenty-seven have undergone successful purification, while thirty-nine remain under purification.
The rest, such as Ming Wang Star and Dragon God Star, drift through the starry expanse, endlessly hunting planets like the Earth Element Star to consume lives, reclaim demonic thoughts, and bolster their might.
Chen Mobai searched in vain for any Three Eyed Tribe planets. Customer service revealed that worlds hosting thoughts of supreme Eighth Rank entities like the Demon Lord evade all secret arts for detection or calculation. Confirmation demands physical arrival.
Two methods exist for verification: transporting a portal for direct logging, or relying on seasoned judgment, since portals cost 20 Dao Merits—a price many cultivators balk at paying.
Consequently, a cosmic trade emerges: Planet Merchants, who scour for demon-tainted planets. Upon discovery and validation, they conquer if possible; otherwise, they peddle the data.
Reputation reigns supreme in these deals.
For if a fierce battle rages over a planet that proves free of demonic taint, no Dao Merits flow in.
The Five Ancestors of Xianmen learned of the Earth Element Star when Wangji Daojun, en route to the Mystic Palace via the Xuanyang Star System, stumbled upon it. Though Wangji Daojun dismissed the single Dao Merit, a junior disciple named Zhang Daoshun noted it down. After the White Crane Dao Arena's collapse, Zhang Daoshun led Yun Ya and like-minded allies here, plotting a resurgence.
Should their scheme succeed flawlessly, the Earth Element Star could anchor their conquest of every demon-tainted planet in the Xuanyang Star System. Beyond Dao Merits, treasures like Heaven and Earth Placenta and Spirit Veins could hit the portal marketplace, amassing over a hundred Dao Merits.
Such a haul of Dao Merits might enable one of the Five Ancestors of Xianmen to reach Harmonization, restoring the White Crane Dao Arena or rescuing the suppressed Wangji Daojun.
Yet, despite the solid strategy, the inaugural demon-tainted planet—the Three Eyed Tribe—proved overwhelmingly formidable.
Lacking the initial Dao Merits hoard and with Zhang Daoshun's Cultivating Void failure, the endeavor crumbled. Still, they seeded a legacy on the Earth Element Star, awaiting a prodigy from descendants to fulfill their grand vision.
Chen Mobai's rise validates the Five Ancestors of Xianmen's tireless labors.
Should he attain Harmonization ahead, Chen Mobai vows to tread the White Crane Dao Arena's ruins.
This stems not only from his ties to the Five Ancestors of Xianmen's teachings but also his classmate bond with Wangji Daojun, compelling him to aid if feasible.
Grasping the demon-tainted planet trade, Chen Mobai sensed his perfect fit as a Planet Merchant.
Unlike others who must personally descend to verify such worlds.
He merely trails the Purple Cloud Palace for effortless confirmation anytime.
For milder demon-tainted planets within Immortal Gate's grasp, he claims them outright. For the mightier ones, selling the intel still yields gains.
Truly, the Purple Cloud Palace represents the ultimate opportunity.
With this in mind, Chen Mobai envisioned the Dao Merits in his future account balance surging upward, filling him with eager anticipation.
Three years flew by swiftly.
On that day, every God-Transcending cultivator of the Immortal Gate, together with several key Nascent Souls, assembled at Wangxian Peak within the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.
This was because the item Chen Mobai ordered three years prior was finally about to arrive.
The 5 Dao Merits shipping fee ranks as the cheapest level and the most sluggish.
In the portal marketplace, the swiftest delivery option costs 20 Dao Merits, drawing on the Gate of Taixu’s main body power for instant item teleportation. Since the portal branches from the Gate of Taixu, goods arrive immediately post-order, regardless of their spot in the universe.
Yet, given the Immortal Gate's account balance, such express teleportation remained only for distant admiration.
In the end, enduring a three-year wait was no hardship for them.
"Pure Yang, do you think it might have gotten lost en route?"
"I wonder who’s coming to deliver the item. Could we seize this moment to glimpse the realms beyond the Tianyang Star System..."
"Why hasn’t it shown up yet?"
Seated in his place, Chen Mobai overheard the murmurs from Qi Yuheng and the others nearby, stirring a touch of excitement in his own heart.
