I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2627: 1200: Zhuo Ming Reaches Nascent Soul, Blessed by Fortune

“Brother Zhang, is there something troubling you?”
Zhang Pankong’s anxious look caught Chen Mobai’s attention, leaving him puzzled about what could make the Primordial Void Dao Child seem so downcast.
“Sigh, I’ve heard the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill from this batch was successfully refined, but my master never told me. It probably won’t end up in my hands.”
Once Chen Mobai asked, Zhang Pankong didn’t hold back and began pouring out his grievances.
Few friends surrounded the Primordial Void Dao Child, and even scarcer were those he could confide in on such sensitive topics, especially ones tied to the Deity Transformation Da Kong True Monarch and the Holy Land Sect Taixu MiaoMiao Palace.
Chen Mobai proved the ideal choice.
“Brother Zhang, in your sect, how do they distribute deity transformation resources?”
Curiosity gripped Chen Mobai, as Qing Nu had just turned the Five Elements Sect into a Holy Land. Deity transformation resources would soon abound, so understanding other Holy Lands’ approaches felt essential.
Not a secret affair, Zhang Pankong revealed all the details without hesitation.
“Taixu MiaoMiao Palace splits into the Central State Main Line and four continental branches. Each handles its own matters mostly, yet branches must defer to the main line on resources or big issues, since it alone yields deity transformation resources. Should branches face deity transformation shortages, the main line reviews them; promising geniuses get breakthrough spiritual items from the main line. The hopeless ones see a new Deity Transformation True Monarch appointed in charge. Like the current Da Kong True Monarch at West Continent’s Taixu Piaomiao Palace…”
“Still, deity transformation resources’ value breeds plenty of scheming in the setup, so the main line often sends its own Deity Transformation True Monarchs directly. Precious even in Central State’s main line, they favor their kin over branch users.”
“But to keep branches in line, some deity transformation resources get shared. The unspoken custom splits them evenly between main line and four continental branches. Extra Void Night Pills stay with the main line. This setup forces branches to both rival and ally—unity pressures the main line to honor shares, but scarce Void Night Pills spark fights, leaving some branches empty-handed.”
“That’s why branches strive fiercely for deity transformation treasures like the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill. Just like inviting Southern State’s Great Ancient True Monarch last time.”
“Usually, a branch’s Taoist Child or Saintess claims the palace master seat. The other heads to the main line for advanced training. Locals use any branch deity transformation resources first—like our sect’s Azure Fall Palace Master. Main line arrivals who outshine its prodigies and other branch stars can earn a Void Night Pill too.”
Zhang Pankong’s explanation struck Chen Mobai as flawed, prompting his question: “Wouldn’t staying put locally be preferable?”
Better a chicken’s head than a phoenix’s tail.
Staying to lead a local sect offers a continent’s full resources, maybe even deity transformation ones, while Central State demands battling elite geniuses—and starting over, a prospect Chen Mobai couldn’t fathom.
The gap loomed enormous.
“Exactly, so only competition losers reluctantly join Central State’s main line. Top talents thus stay local, troubling the main line as branches grow mighty and defiant.”
“Central State countered by decreeing that any branch Taoist Child or Saintess hitting Nascent Soul Complete in three centuries earns a main line Void Night Pill.”
“This flipped branch-to-main-line chances into a fierce contest. Some even reached the main line by demon path or taboo pills, cranking cultivation to Nascent Soul Complete just for one Void Night Pill.”
“Later, the main line sealed those gaps. Now the system stands steady.”
Chen Mobai pondered the present East Continent Taixu Dao Child and Saintess. Dan Miaosu had caught the Central State main line's eye early thanks to her Void Spirit Body, so Zhang Pankong was poised to take charge of the East Continent branch.
The Azure Fall Palace Master had already used up a Communicating Holy Spirit Pill before, so by the established rules, this pill belonged to Zhang Pankong.
“Brother Zhang, do you fear this Communicating Holy Spirit Pill might still fall to the Azure Fall Palace Master?” Chen Mobai asked.
Yet Zhang Pankong nodded while shaking his head: “It’s possible, since the Deity Transformation expert in the division wields great influence. But my true worry lies with my junior apprentice sister coming back.”
“Oh?” Chen Mobai showed surprise at these words. “Hasn’t she already headed to the Central State main line? Could she return to vie with you for the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill?”
Chen Mobai certainly knew Dan Miaosu, but his bond with Zhang Pankong ran deeper. Following Ye Qing, he yearned for Zhang Pankong to attain Deity Transformation.
“From the rumors I’ve caught, the main line lacks any spare Void Night Pills at present. However, my junior apprentice sister has hit Nascent Soul Complete, and her Void Spirit Body lets her command the Dao Treasure, Taixu Measuring Sky Ruler, right after Deity Transformation. Thus, the main line urges her swift breakthrough to confront looming cosmic upheavals.”
