I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2688 - 1236: Five Elements Sect’s Imperial Court Phenomenon

While Chen Mobai was in seclusion for his cultivation, Gu Yan, his attendant, found herself with little to do. Consequently, Qing Nu assigned her to assist at Danxia Pavilion.

Presently, Qing Nu’s Danxia Pavilion has blossomed into the foremost purveyor of low-grade elixirs throughout the East Continent, experiencing bustling operations. This has even given rise to a profession of purchasing agents, with Xue Ting struggling to manage the workload.

However, compared to Yang Jing, business matters were of secondary importance.

Upon receiving the latest intelligence, Gu Yan immediately made her way to Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion.

She was overjoyed to see Chen Mobai.

"Ancestor, Madam, this is the most recent update from Senior Brother Liang at the Danxia Pavilion’s Northwest East Continent Branch," Gu Yan announced, presenting an urgent message talisman.

After perusing the message, Chen Mobai displayed a hint of surprise.

Danxia Pavilion had now expanded its reach across all regions of the East Continent, not only distributing elixirs but also serving as an intelligence hub. Liang Lingzhen, a cultivator with a Golden Core from the Five Elements Sect's heterodox lineage, was leading operations in the remote Northwest.

The message detailed that the spiritual energy of nature in the Northwest East Continent had recently surged dramatically towards a single point, as though a Great Cultivator was attempting a breakthrough.

It was known that Liang Lingzhen had witnessed significant events previously, having even fought alongside Chen Mobai in his younger days. Comparing this phenomenon to the Nascent Soul Formation phase witnessed in Northern Abyss City with Chen Lingming, he deduced that the scale of this spiritual energy surge far surpassed that prior event.

Could this indicate someone is attempting Divinity Transformation!?

The natural spiritual energy continued to surge, yet no Heavenly Tribulation showed signs of forming.

In such a locale, Liang Lingzhen hesitated to investigate further and opted to dispatch the news promptly. It was probable that other sacred lands within the East Continent were already aware.

Northwest East Continent, Divinity Transformation...

These keywords swiftly brought to mind the Jade Shatter True Monarch Chen Mobai had encountered in the Ice-sealed Mausoleum.

Could the Sacred Spirit Pill acquired from Han Xingzi have truly enabled Luoying Master's Divinity Transformation?

Contemplating this, a sense of unease settled upon him.

"What troubles you?"

Qing Nu, seated beside him, noticed the somber expression on Chen Mobai's face and inquired with curiosity.

It was a well-established fact that Chen Mobai’s cultivation level stood at the apex of the Tianhe Realm, and he had even vanquished the ancient Flood Dragon dwelling above the Mysterious Sea.

"I may need to journey to the Northwest of the East Continent."

Chen Mobai handed the message talisman to Qing Nu, conveying his suspicions.

"If it turns out to be an ascended monk body seizure, could it be perilous?"

Qing Nu, upon hearing this, expressed her concern.

"Rest assured, I will not send my true body. I will investigate using my Second Primeval Spirit."

Without Qing Nu needing to voice further apprehension, Chen Mobai, having learned from past missteps, was unwilling to take such risks again. Despite the absence of a Heavenly Blessing warning this time, he opted for caution, utilizing an avatar for the investigation.

Furthermore, Chen Mobai had also informed the other three major sacred lands of the East Continent regarding this development.

With the potential emergence of a new Divinity Transformation cultivator, perhaps even an "ascended monk," cultivators like Dustless would undoubtedly be intrigued.

"That is for the best, then."

Qing Nu, hearing his plan, felt a sense of reassurance.

A flash of fire emanated from behind Chen Mobai's head. Instantly, a resplendent, gold-red treasure bead transformed into a streak of rainbow light, piercing through the void. Carrying the Pure Yang legal treasures, it departed from Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, speeding towards the Northwest of the East Continent.

...

In the Northwest of the East Continent, despite its severe cold, the region was not entirely desolate. Upon his leisurely arrival this time, Chen Mobai’s Second Primeval Spirit observed that much of the soil here was imbued with spiritual energy, with some areas even being direct Spirit Fields.

However, owing to the frigid climate, only a limited variety of hardy, low-rank Spirit Rice could be cultivated, making this area the least favored by cultivators from the East Continent.

Even the East Continent's three great sacred lands rarely ventured here to recruit disciples.

In contrast to the core regions of the East Continent, where potentially one in ten children possessed a Spiritual Root, the probability here registered only between 2% and 4%.

This territory, since its establishment by the Eastern Emperor Court, had served as a central hub for the Human Race.

The land was abundant with Spirit Fields, Spirit Veins were commonplace, and the seeds sown yielded bountiful Spirit Rice. Consequently, those who established roots here were initially robust, possessing vigorous energy and blood, with a high prevalence of individuals possessing Spiritual Roots.

According to historical records, Jiang Zongheng had relocated from the Imperial Court Secret Realm during the prosperous era of the Human Emperor; in those times, nearly every household boasted an individual with a Spiritual Root.Across the board, from grand Immortal Cities to humble hamlets, cultivators established academies. These institutions charged Spirit Stones and Spirit Rice for instruction in Qi Cultivation and immortal cultivation methods. This vast network of cultivators was the bedrock of the Eastern Emperor Court's remarkable successes. However, even the most prosperous dynasties face periods of decline. The East Land's bountiful resources inevitably drew the envy of outsiders. Common folk, desperate for their offspring to achieve immortality in this lifetime, readily bartered their Spirit Soil for cultivation resources, immortal cultivation manuals, and secret techniques. Yet, for the vast majority, these efforts proved to be in vain. From the ruling class, whispers circulated about the impoverished who had stumbled upon immortal cultivation, achieving sudden ascension. This fueled the public's desire, and the populace continued to relinquish their Spirit Field resources in pursuit of such a dream. By the mid-era of the Eastern Emperor Court, the concentration of land grew severe. Over ninety percent of Spirit Fields fell under the dominion of powerful clans, leaving the commoners unable to even afford basic Spirit Rice. It was within this oppressive environment that the Awakener emerged. A disillusioned individual, whose family had been shattered by the pursuit of immortal cultivation, rose to lead the masses. He ignited a rebellion that swept across the Eastern Emperor Court's territories. Though the Eastern Emperor Court, with its formidable power and established might, managed to quell the rebel forces, it could not extinguish the unyielding flame of hope burning in the hearts of the common people.
