I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2614: 1193: Dao Morale Sect Mountain Gate

Before her Nascent Soul Formation, Zhuo Ming brought Chen Mobai to witness the Sun God Tree.

Thanks to her dedicated nurturing, the essence of this Rank-5 Spirit Plant had completely awakened, and with its roots embedded in Wandering Mountain's Rank-6 Spirit Vein, it displayed signs of potential further evolution.

Yet, its severed roots had inflicted heavy damage to its vital energy, meaning Chen Mobai had to bide his time before trying to hasten its growth prematurely.

Apart from the one at Wandering Mountain, a fresh small Sun God Tree had emerged from the roots at the former Golden Crow Immortal City site.

That tree, however, was merely Rank-3.

Even so, being newly sprouted and brimming with vitality, and tended by Zhuo Ming—a Spirit Plant Master skilled in All Things Spiritual Communication—its future potential could surpass that of the Wandering Mountain specimen.

Therefore, Chen Mobai decided to allow the Wandering Mountain tree to heal first before raising it to Rank-6. Though it couldn't advance beyond that, it would function as the core node for the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, setting the foundation for the eventual Celestial Stars Earth Luo Star Formation.

Besides the Sun God Tree, Chen Mobai aimed to invest heavily in Yin Qingmei’s Lifebound Spirit Plant, the Jade Phoenix Tree.

After all, this heavenly treasure possessed the ability to rank up without limit.

Chen Mobai also planned to relocate a peak Rank-4 Everlife Wood from the sect to East Wu and upgrade it into Rank-5 Azure Dragon Wood, in hopes of resolving the Heavenly Venerable Branch dilemma.

Since East Wu lay outside core territories, any mishaps could be managed without panic.

“Master, I’ll be going now.”

Having updated Chen Mobai on the condition of both Sun God Trees, Zhuo Ming spoke respectfully to him before an ancient great hall from the Eastern Emperor Court era on Wandering Mountain.

“Mm, once you emerge from your Nascent Soul Formation retreat, I’ll convey the Dao Fruit to you. Both Earth Element and Hun Yuan are quite suitable for you; consider which one you need.”

Chen Mobai offered encouragement, his tone expressing firm confidence in Zhuo Ming's success in forming her Nascent Soul.

The choice between those two Dao Fruits, though, left Zhuo Ming a bit conflicted.

Given her spiritual roots, the Earth Element Dao Fruit suited her best, aligning seamlessly with her Yellow Emperor’s Benevolence Scripture and smoothing out any cultivation technique flaws up to Spirit Transformation.

Yet, as a cultivator from the Eastern Wasteland, she had grown up enthralled by legends of the Primordial Dao Fruit and Yi Yuan True Monarch, aspiring to become an Ascended Monk.

Her yearning for the Primordial Dao Fruit burned even fiercer.

Still, such troubles were of the joyful kind.

In that moment, Zhuo Ming truly comprehended the esteemed privileges granted to a Saint Land's Taoist Child and Taoist Saintess.

As Zhuo Ming stepped into the great hall, Chen Mobai placed a sealing restriction around her seclusion area, after which a radiant treasure bead materialized behind his head and shifted into a perfect duplicate of himself.

This was his Second Primeval Spirit.

At first, Luo Yixuan wanted to join Chen Mobai and the others on their journey to the East Land, but after some thought, Chen Mobai shook his head in refusal.

Elder Ming, a Ghost Cultivator practicing Yellow Springs Spiritual Power, dwelled within her—a practice tolerated in Five Elements Sect lands, but escorting her straight to the Dao Morale Sect, even as his disciple, would cause embarrassment for Dustless True Monarch.

Furthermore, with Zhuo Ming in secluded cultivation, someone had to oversee Wandering Mountain and the East Barbarians region, including the newly planted precious herbs and the care of the two Sun God Trees.

Fortuitously, Luo Yixuan had gained expertise in these tasks from years of assisting Zhuo Ming.

Chen Mobai certainly wouldn't assign his Second Primeval Spirit to such mundane duties.

“Master, take care.”

Luo Yixuan watched with reluctance as Chen Mobai and his companions departed Wandering Mountain atop a majestic Yellow Dragon.

Utilizing the grand Transmission Array in Bright Mirror Immortal City, Chen Mobai's group first teleported to Nine Heavens Immortal City.

Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen had already been awaiting their arrival there for quite some time.

“Brother Ye, it’s been a long time.”

Upon spotting Ye Qing, Chen Mobai broke into a genuine smile.

During the past two centuries in the East Continent, Ye Qing stood as his most reliable confidant, akin to battle-hardened brothers who had faced death together.

“Brother Chen.”

At the sight of Chen Mobai, a faint smile crept onto Ye Qing's typically impassive face.

“I feel ashamed; I received your White Dragon Essence Blood, yet failed to refine Deity Transformation Pills. Instead, I still need Dustless True Monarch to refine the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill.”

Chen Mobai started by apologizing to Ye Qing. He had secured the Great Dao Pill Recipe from the Nine Heavens Morality Sect and pledged to research Deity Transformation Pills, while receiving from Ye Qing the White Dragon Essence Blood that Yuan Qingque had left behind.

‘Why feel ashamed? You supplied the Old Flood Dragon Essence Blood that enabled this Communicating Holy Spirit Pill; I haven’t thanked you yet.’

Ye Qing dismissed it with a casual wave. He hadn’t anticipated the Five Elements Sect’s triumph in refining Deity Transformation Pills.

Chen Mobai’s slaying of the Old Flood Dragon and generous donation of its essence blood struck Ye Qing as primarily aimed at having Dustless True Monarch craft the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill for his own benefit.

Everyone recognized that among the Four Great Holy Lands, their Nine Heavens Morality Sect needed it the most.

The Dao Morale Sect and Taixu Miaomiao Palace boast numerous Nascent Soul Complete cultivators.

Even should the Five Elements Sect obtain a Communicating Holy Spirit Pill now, it would take them hundreds of years to produce a Nascent Soul Complete cultivator worthy of consuming it.

‘It’s only what ought to be done.’

Chen Mobai insisted on this matter that it was merely his duty, then readied himself to utilize the large-scale Transmission Array present to head straight to the Dao Morale Sect.

‘Brother Chen, you’ve visited my East Land multiple times, yet never graced my Tongtian Peak with your presence…’

Ye Qing urged no haste, proposing instead that Chen Mobai visit the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect. He dangled the chance for Chen Mobai to reach the summit of the Tongtian Refining Road Tower and speak with upper realm ascended ancestors like Yuan Qingque.

Though Chen Mobai first displayed curiosity, he hastily devised an excuse upon hearing that: ‘Let’s handle the primary task first; True Monarch Wuchen and Da Kong True Monarch must be growing restless by now.’

Chen Mobai remained utterly ignorant of the circumstances in the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm. If any mighty figure among the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect’s ascended ancestors detected his background or the treasures upon him, it would be like a sheep wandering into a tiger’s lair.

‘Thank you, Brother Chen. I’ll notify Senior Brother Ni right away.’

Ye Qing figured Chen Mobai was keen to claim the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, so he voiced his thanks and swiftly drew forth a Message Talisman.

Moments later, a surging Deity Transformation Spiritual Light resembling ocean waves rushed from the far horizon, rapidly coalescing into Ni Yuanzhong’s form right before Chen Mobai.

‘Sect Master Chen, it’s been a while.’

Ni Yuanzhong offered a courteous greeting to Chen Mobai, who returned it with equal politeness.

Their bond lacked the closeness and familiarity shared with Ye Qing.

Following brief exchanges of civilities, the group teleported to Wuwei Immortal City, home of the Dao Morale Sect.

With two Deity Transformation cultivators arriving without concealing their auras, a familiar Cloud Light soon illuminated from the Dao Morale Sect’s mountain gate—the glow of Shenxi.

Shenxi, the current Sect Master of the Dao Morale Sect, came out personally to welcome them: ‘Forgive our shortcomings, Fellow Daoists. My master is occupied with the Pill Furnace and can’t dispatch a Clone…’

Chen Mobai and Ni Yuanzhong replied courteously before trailing Shenxi through the Dao Morale Sect’s mountain gate.

As East Continent’s most ancient Holy Land, the Dao Morale Sect’s entrance was remarkably unpretentious, tucked into a scenic mountain range where a rushing stream wound through a valley beside neatly arranged Spirit Fields. Dao Morale Sect disciples diligently cultivated the Spirit Plants and rice using hoes and tools. Witnessing this, Chen Mobai was filled with awe, noting they were at minimum Fifth Rank Spirit Fields bearing Fifth Rank Spirit Plants, inspiring deep respect.

Thatched huts dotted the fields, each with a Green Cow or Black Donkey tethered nearby.

Children in Daoist Robes guided many Green Cows, some for plowing, others for grazing.

Black Donkeys operated mills, apparently processing herbs, releasing a scent that filled the valley.

Without seeing it himself, Chen Mobai would never have imagined this humble village served as the Dao Morale Sect’s mountain gate.

In contrast to his amazement, Ni Yuanzhong and the rest stayed perfectly calm, clearly frequent visitors, while even Qing Nu nodded in recognition.

A mental inquiry revealed that Qi Jiannu had described this to Qing Nu in her message.

‘We’ve reached our destination; please, come in, everyone.’

Right now, Shenxi guided them to the rear of the village, where a crystal-clear brook tumbled down from the mountain. Pure Water Spirit Qi emanated from the stream, and Chen Mobai could instantly recognize it as a genuine Water Spirit Vein.

Never before had he laid eyes on such a spiritual vein, leaving him utterly stunned.

The brook gathered into a profoundly deep lake nestled in the valley, with a small islet protruding from the waters, where three thatched huts stood.

Before the leftmost hut, a Furnace burned brightly, expertly managed by Xuan De and Qi Jiannu—one fanning the flames, the other tossing in firewood.

Inside the central cottage, True Monarch Wuchen and Da Kong True Monarch sat savoring tea.

Upon spotting Chen Mobai's arrival, the two grinned and beckoned him over.

Chen Mobai and his group smiled in return; Shenxi swung his horsetail whisk, summoning a Cloud Light beneath their feet that carried them over the lake to the cottage.

As they crossed the lake, Chen Mobai sensed a bone-chilling aura that even froze his Divine Sense, revealing mighty restrictions and formations that demanded escorts from the Dao Morale Sect to pass.

“We greatly appreciate your special seclusion trip here. Yet, there’s an urgent matter we must discuss with you.”

Once seated, True Monarch Wuchen handed Chen Mobai a cup of Longevity Eyebrow tea personally, speaking words that left him surprised.

“Oh, what matter?”

Chen Mobai had earlier wondered why he'd been called to personally open the furnace, and as expected, there was a specific reason.

“The Star Heaven Taoist Sect wishes to exchange the Three Lights Divine Water Recipe for a Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, and upon hearing this news, the Mysterious Fire Sect in Southern State also wants…”

True Monarch Wuchen shared the details openly without reservation.

“Xing Ji is liquidating all its leftover assets for a shot at breaking into the Spirit Transformation Stage.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt a profound surge of emotion.
