I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2645 - 1211: Holy Land Phenomena (Part 2)

"I had already anticipated Sect Master Chen's concerns before arriving, so I devised a solution."

Han Xingzi had genuinely poured all his effort into making this transaction happen. Failure to handle it adeptly would result in a difficult explanation when he returned to the Ice-sealed Mausoleum. Conversely, if he couldn't satisfy Chen Mobai, he wouldn't be able to obtain the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill today, and rather than face an explanation, he would surely meet his demise.

"Oh, please elaborate, Daoist friend." Chen Mobai was intrigued by the method Han Xingzi possessed that could persuade him to relinquish the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill under these circumstances.

"In the past, when our Sect was still a Holy Land, the East Continent did not yet have Yi Yuan True Monarch. His Primordial True Qi was unparalleled, an extraordinary divine skill that even our Divinity Transformation predecessors had never encountered."

Han Xingzi's sudden declaration initially baffled Chen Mobai, but understanding dawned upon him swiftly.

When Jade Shatter True Monarch traversed the East Continent, the Yi Yuan Dao Scripture had not been disseminated, suggesting she was unaware that Primordial True Qi possessed the ability to unravel the world's Five Elements restrictions.

The restriction on the jade slip Han Xingzi carried was formidable, likely a Rank-5, a relic from Jade Shatter True Monarch. Without Han Xingzi's prompt, Chen Mobai would have hesitated to employ Primordial True Qi for its dissolution, fearing the refinement method detailed within might be deceitful.

However, with Han Xingzi's reminder, Chen Mobai picked up the jade slip for examination. Immediately, Primordial True Qi swirled forth, enveloping it and rapidly breaking down the restriction.

The contents of the jade slip, previously impenetrable to Divine Sense, were instantly comprehended by Chen Mobai.

Under the influence of the Law of the Five Tones, he grasped it with ease.

Chen Mobai then reopened the jade box, retrieved the Shaoyin Dao Fruit, and applied the newly acquired secret technique to refine it.

It became evident that the information inscribed on the jade slip was indeed authentic.

Having refined the Shaoyin Dao Fruit, Chen Mobai re-extracted it, holding it within his palm.

"Your intellect, Daoist friend, is truly underappreciated within the Three Veins of Ice Heaven." With the matter settled, Chen Mobai's demeanor relaxed. He sank back into his chair and poured a cup of tea for Han Xingzi.

"Not at all, as long as Sect Master Chen is pleased..."

Han Xingzi dabbed the sweat from his brow and stepped forward, accepting the tea from Chen Mobai with both hands in a gesture of respect.

"Here is the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill. Would you care to inspect it?"

Chen Mobai, renowned for his integrity, produced the elixir and placed it on the table, despite holding the advantageous position.

"I have absolute trust in Sect Master Chen."

Having narrowly escaped a precarious situation, Han Xingzi dared not examine the elixir. Even if it were counterfeit, he would feign acceptance.

After all, he wasn't the one slated to consume it.

With these thoughts, Han Xingzi set down his teacup, reached out, and placed the elixir into his storage bag before bidding Chen Mobai farewell.

"Travel safely, Daoist friend. Please forgive my inability to see you off."

Chen Mobai made no move to detain him. Instead, he dispatched a message to Zhou Ye at the mountain's base, instructing him to escort the guest.

Following Han Xingzi's departure, Chen Mobai notified the two Nascent Soul cultivators stationed at the Sky Meal Building that the intense surveillance of the Three Veins of Ice Heaven could be scaled back.

After all, if any traps laid by Jade Shatter True Monarch were indeed present, they could be easily discovered through routine observation.

From this point forward, standard inquiries would suffice.

Chen Mobai also briefed Dustless and Da Kong on the development, ensuring they would be mentally prepared should a God-Transcending cultivator eventually emerge from the Three Veins of Ice Heaven.

With this matter concluded, and finding himself already in the Eastern Yi Land, Chen Mobai chose to seize the opportunity to visit Wandering Mountain and check on his two disciples.

Zhuo Ming was not in attendance; she was leading the Formation Division of the Five Elements Sect in the establishment of the new Sky Curtain Ground Network. After a brief conversation with Luo Yixuan, Chen Mobai accompanied her to locate Zhuo Ming.

"Master, I've recently discovered that it seems feasible to reclaim the sea..."

"Similar to how you once separated Golden Crow Immortal City from the sea..."

"My plan is to commence with the retaining wall you previously erected, extending it along the original Eastern Yi coastline, expanding outwards until the sea is fully enclosed. Then, we will drain the seawater, effectively reclaiming the submerged Eastern Yi territory."

While arranging formations, Zhuo Ming conceived a monumental project. The spirit veins of Golden Crow Immortal City, having dispersed and returned to the earth, would leave behind reclaimed land that promised to be at least spirit fields, with some even being high-ranked. To the other cultivators across the East Continent, this endeavor appeared purely aspirational. However, having previously assisted Chen Mobai in transforming the Eastern Wilderness Plateau through afforestation, river excavation, and agricultural reforms, Zhuo Ming considered such large-scale projects to be rather commonplace. She even contemplated extending the city walls further, aiming to reclaim additional territory.

"An excellent notion! Proceed with confidence. Should you require any resources, do not hesitate to request them from the sect," Chen Mobai declared, lauding her idea after hearing it. The Immortal Gate practitioners, he mused, were unlikely to be involved in sea reclamation, which was why this concept hadn't previously occurred to him. Though Chen Mobai had already delegated the management of the Five Elements Sect's affairs, Zhuo Ming, with her Nascent Soul cultivation, possessed the capability to independently oversee the sect's resources.

"Furthermore, I have a supplemental thought: consider making this wall mobile. This would allow for future expansion into the deep sea, potentially conserving significant manpower and resources down the line..." Building upon Zhuo Ming's initial concept, Chen Mobai introduced an idea borrowed from the Immortal Gate. This suggestion illuminated possibilities for Zhuo Ming that she hadn't previously fathomed.

"Essentially, it's akin to forging a magical artifact, a great wall of sorts. With your proficiency and understanding of earth-attributed artifacts, you can model its refinement after the All-things Altruistic Cauldron..." From a professional perspective, Chen Mobai provided further insights, to which Zhuo Ming responded with nods and diligent note-taking.

As their discussion unfolded, Chen Mobai eagerly sketched a map illustrating Eastern Yi and the Mysterious Sea, pinpointing areas where undersea spirit veins had been identified. "You could begin with a trial project. The scope of this Fourth Rank Spirit Vein located on the seabed is merely a few hundred miles..." The conversation between the master and disciple grew increasingly animated as they contemplated the promising future of establishing seabed spirit fields around the Mysterious Sea and expanding the Five Elements Sect's spirit plant cultivation.

Luo Yixuan, observing from the side, could only offer continuous nods, filled with admiration, while providing her master and senior sister with unwavering support. Chen Mobai, who had initially intended only to check on his two disciples, found himself swept up by these ambitious infrastructural ideas. He couldn't resist leading Zhuo Ming on an excursion to explore the various spirit veins near Eastern Yi within the Mysterious Sea, seamlessly blending strategic planning with practical application.

"This endeavor is at least a century in the making. Pace yourself. While you are isolating the sea and reclaiming the land, you can also integrate the Celestial Stars Earth Luo Star Formation..." Chen Mobai specifically advised Zhuo Ming against overexertion as he departed, urging her to treat this project as a long-term strategic undertaking.

"Yes, Master!" After bidding farewell to his two disciples, Chen Mobai returned to the Eastern Wilderness, his enthusiasm still brimming. Having already transferred the Crown of Heaven and Earth to Jiang Zongheng, he no longer actively participated in sect management. He had also communicated this decision to Zhou Shengqing and the other Nascent Soul cultivators who had aided in the sect's establishment, and they fully comprehended his position.

Typically, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, like Chen Mobai, would focus on their own cultivation and step down from the role of Sect Master, transitioning to an Ancestor-like position within the sect. "It's simply that the sect's foundation is exceedingly fragile, placing a great burden on Junior Brother to sustain it almost single-handedly until now," Zhou Shengqing expressed his regret.

"Our younger disciples have matured significantly. Once Ming'er achieves Nascent Soul Formation, it will then be E Yun and Zhou Wangshen's opportunity. Should they also succeed in forming Nascent Souls, we can truly retire with peace of mind." Chen Mobai reflected on the sect's nascent days when only the three of them had attained Core Formation, and even cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Completion stage were a rarity. Now, however, the Five Elements Sect proudly boasted over a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators. Including those from Heterodox sects who had reached Golden Core, their Golden Core combatants numbered close to a hundred. The number of Foundation Establishment cultivators had long since surpassed ten thousand, truly embodying the characteristics of a Holy Land!
