I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2624 - 1198: The Heavenly Emperor’s Codex

Chen Mobai's eyes lit up uncontrollably.

The moment he spotted the name on the Jade Scroll, he instantly grasped its nature.

This had to be a legacy from the Generation Emperor of the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm; what sort of inheritance did this booklet hold?

With that thought, Chen Mobai promptly directed his Multicolored Python avatar to fetch the Emperor’s Scroll and unfurl it before him.

No seals bound this Emperor’s Scroll; it appeared accessible to anyone whose Spiritual Power matched the Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture.

Dragon Spirit Power surged into it, causing enigmatic floating characters to emerge on the once blank jade surface. These were scripts from the Eastern Emperor Court era. Though Chen Mobai lacked prior knowledge of them, the Heavenly Calculation Bead's dictionary enabled immediate translation.

Having skimmed its contents, surprise etched across his face.

Contained within was the full Six Dragons Imperial Heaven Scripture, cultivable up to the Harmonization realm at its peak.

Yet, the Great Daos unified by this art weren't the pair legend attributed to the Generation Emperor, but rather “Order” and “Law”.

Order ranked as the Acquired Great Dao, Law as the Innate Great Dao.

The Emperor’s Scroll outlined a path: dominate the Five Continents and Four Seas in the Mortal Realm to seize the Great Dao of Order. Then, ascend to the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm, claim the Generation Emperor’s throne, and elevate Order into Law.

A new Generation Emperor's rise allows the incumbent to step down, retaining both Great Daos and departing in transcendence.

So, this was the Generation Emperor's grand design!?

Little wonder the Generation Emperor raged at the Eastern Emperor Court's fall.

Upon finishing the Emperor’s Scroll, Chen Mobai pieced together hidden truths from history.

He knew these two Great Daos—Order and Law—intimately.

The Taoist Laws Sure-book delved exactly into these domains.

They formed one of the core Great Daos.

Only by attaining the Great Dao of Law could one supplant the Generation Emperor and force them to abandon their Great Dao.

Was the assault on the Eastern Emperor Court driven by this very reason?

Did the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm's mighty Daoist Monarchs oppose the Generation Emperor's transcendence?

Or did they permit transcendence, but forbid taking the Great Dao along?

Sealing the Emperor’s Scroll, Chen Mobai's mind raced with possibilities.

Ultimately, he shook his head.

Such existential clashes felt premature for him.

Still, this Emperor’s Scroll promised immense value to him.

It perfectly aligned with the Five Elements Sect’s approach to forging the Great Dao of “Rules”.

Now at Divinity Transformation, the Dao Fruit from the Eastern Wilderness Human Dao core offered Chen Mobai scant benefit.

He had intended to bequeath it post-Jiang Zongheng's “Nascent Soul Formation”, allowing the disciple to inherit Rules and guiding him swiftly to Divinity Transformation.

Alas, the Dao Fruit path's ceiling loomed too low.

For future breakthroughs, Jiang Zongheng would need to dismantle and rebuild via the Dao Fruit Method—a perilous act demanding unbreakable resolve, squandering time on another Divinity Transformation trek, with failure a real risk.

Jiang Zongheng and Qing Ping's circumstances diverged sharply.

Qing Ping's Five Elements Cultivation talent surpassed even the Dao Fruit. Post-refining the immortal gate’s Rules, forming the Primordial Bead came effortlessly, paving a seamless Yi Yuan Dao Scripture route to Divinity Transformation.

Jiang Zongheng excelled in Dao Fruit realms; Chen Mobai could aid Wood Spirit Root ascent to Nascent Soul Complete at best, but Divinity Transformation would prove arduous.

In that scenario, Dao Fruit-based Divinity Transformation secured at least its power and longevity.

Yet now, the Emperor’s Scroll erased this dilemma.

Ahead, Jiang Zongheng could refine Rules, depart the Five Elements Sect’s bounds, and thrive. The Dao Fruit, seed of Order and Law, paired with the Emperor’s Scroll for doubled gains from minimal effort.

This might even supplant the Yi Yuan Dao Scripture, establishing itself as the paramount Cultivation Technique of the Five Elements Sect.

After all, the Yi Yuan Dao Scripture peaks merely at Void Refining, its single seventh-rank feature limited to the magic artifact Primordial Golden Dou.

Naturally, practicing the Emperor’s Scroll carries the inherent flaws of the Dao Fruit, forbidding free action. Every deed must conform to the Order of Heaven and Earth, permitting zero selfishness.

Yet Chen Mobai trusted that Jiang Zongheng possessed such resolve.

With this in mind, he ordered the Multicolored Python avatar to hand the Emperor’s Scroll to his disciple.

"Master?"

Jiang Zongheng wore a baffled expression, though a spark of hope lingered in his gaze.

"Read it once, commit it to memory, and then I will ask you a few questions."

Upon hearing Chen Mobai, Jiang Zongheng reined in his exhilaration, nodded, reached out his hands, and unrolled the Emperor’s Scroll to study it.

He read at a deliberate pace, adhering to Chen Mobai’s directives, imprinting every single word deeply.

Finishing the first read, he shut his eyes to recite it silently, then reopened them to cross-check, verifying flawless recall before kowtowing profoundly to Chen Mobai: "Thank you, Master, for bestowing the Great Tao."

After Chen Mobai stored the Jade Scroll, he questioned the disciple facing him, "This Emperor’s Scroll leads to the Harmonization realm and matches your temperament perfectly. Do you wish to cultivate this technique instead?"

Jiang Zongheng responded, "Disciple dares not conceal from Master; this thought has indeed crossed my mind."

Chen Mobai pressed on, "This Great Tao surpasses every cultivation technique of the Five Elements Sect in achievement, yet it risks turning you into a mere tool, anchoring a world’s foundation without transcendence. Have you pondered this fully?"

Jiang Zongheng declared, "Disciple vows to forge eternal peace for all sentient beings, even unto a shattered demise!"

Chen Mobai cautioned, "The Emperor, a Pure Yang Great Power, boasts blood descendants in Tianhe Realm’s Central State. The Great Tao within the Jade Scroll might already be claimed by his lineage. Your path could end in impasse. Are you still willing?"

At these words, Jiang Zongheng wavered briefly, but then affirmed with resolute nod, "Disciple is willing to attempt it!"

Jiang Zongheng recognized clearly that, despite his prodigious talent and resource abundance under Master Chen Mobai, his projected cultivation pinnacle was only Divinity Transformation—and even that hope felt exceedingly faint.

Nevertheless, embracing this Emperor’s Scroll and fusing it with the Five Elements Sect’s Taoist Laws Fruit promised strong Divinity Transformation prospects. Transforming the Sect into a second Eastern Emperor Court could elevate him to new Human Emperor, perhaps unveiling Void Refining enigmas.

Before this radiant yet perilous path, fraught with dead-end peril, Jiang Zongheng could find no cause to refuse.

"With such determination from you, I shall lend my support."

Receiving the anticipated reply from Jiang Zongheng, Chen Mobai nodded approvingly.

From the void above his head materialized a White Jade Crown. At its heart, the Fruit of Dao’s Rule glowed with profound cyan brilliance.

"Kneel!"

Chen Mobai commanded his disciple, who instantly obeyed with a profound bow.

"Today, I bestow upon you all karma tied to myself and the Five Elements Sect. Henceforth, you shall rule the Three Domains of the Eastern Wilderness Frontier."

Chen Mobai had broached succession earlier with Zhuo Ming and Jiang Zongheng, yet to prevent premature fret and undue strain, he withheld full disclosure until this moment.

"Serving Master is disciple’s utmost honor!"

Hearing this, Jiang Zongheng showed no hesitation, lifting his hands to receive Chen Mobai’s Crown of Heaven and Earth and crown himself with it.

As the White Jade Crown settled upon him, Jiang Zongheng sensed countless mountains crushing down, draining color from his face and heaving his breaths.

Noticing this, Chen Mobai extended a finger, sealing away ninety-nine percent of the Crown’s potency.

Such Rank-5 power proved far too burdensome for a disciple yet to form Nascent Soul.

"Advance gradually, no rush is needed. First, let me impart the divine skill ’Inner Observation’..."

In the imperial city’s secret realm, master and disciple exchanged Dao transmissions, dispelled confusions, and unraveled enigmas.

Jiang Zongheng’s aptitude for the Dao Law surpassed even Qing Ping’s. Since the Fruit of Dao’s Rule was nurtured by him personally within the human dynasty he founded, it merged flawlessly with the Crown of Heaven and Earth’s base drawn from Eastern Wilderness’ ordinary folk he had nurtured. Therefore, its fusion into his energy occurred rapidly.

The only issue was Jiang Zongheng’s cultivation realm being too low, rendering it intolerable for him.

With Chen Mobai’s instruction, he rapidly grasped Inner Observation. This technique would vastly hasten his upcoming cultivation path.

The alternate ability, Observation of Heaven and Earth, remained untriable because of the immense distance from the Three Domains of the Eastern Continent Frontier.

However, from Chen Mobai’s perspective, Jiang Zongheng had already attained enlightenment of it.

"Disciple thanks Master deeply!"

Upon bestowing the Crown of Heaven and Earth’s pair of divine techniques, Jiang Zongheng, glimpsing his radiant prospects, bowed profoundly to Chen Mobai once more in exhilaration.

"You are my disciple, passing on my teachings to you is only right!"

Chen Mobai answered smilingly, as he assisted the prostrated disciple to rise.

Right then, Chen Mobai sensed a massive load lifting off his heart, rendering it utterly light, pristine, and untainted.

Is this the sensation of complete liberation?

Chen Mobai deemed this feeling remarkably fresh.
