I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2695 - 1239: Reunion with Ye Qing, the Saintess of Taixu

"My gratitude to all of you for your assistance."

Having vanquished the incarnation of Jade Shatter True Monarch, Chen Mobai promptly extended his thanks to the three cultivators present nearby.

His initial intention was to handle the situation solo, but he found himself pleasantly surprised by the exemplary moral compass of the Deity Transformation practitioners on the Eastern Continent.

Much like himself, they harbored an absolute intolerance for the act of body-seizing.

"As righteous Deity Transformation practitioners, we cannot, in good conscience, stand by while such nefarious deeds unfold," declared Dustless True Monarch with a genial smile. Presented with a choice between Chen Mobai and Jade Shatter True Monarch, his allegiance naturally fell to the more amiable Chen Mobai, aligning perfectly with the righteous path.

"How shall we proceed with these two Dao Fruits? I seek your guidance."

Chen Mobai gestured towards the azure and obsidian Dao Fruits that pirouetted in the air subsequent to Jade Shatter True Monarch's demise. If his deduction held true, these were indeed the remaining two of the fabled Three Yin Dao Fruits.

"Our Taixu MiaoMiao Palace is hardly in want of Dao Fruits," Da Kong True Monarch quickly stated.

Dustless, too, signaled his refusal with a shake of his head, implying that the karmic entanglement associated with claiming the Dao Fruits was far too significant, and he harbored no desire to inherit the legacy of the Ice.

Ni Yuanzhong shared the same sentiment.

Unbekempt by their disinclination, Chen Mobai found himself with no alternative but to accept the onus of the Dao Fruits, as none of the three indicated any interest in them.

He rationalized that the transmission of the Ice legacy throughout the Immortal Gate constituted a form of heritage in itself.

"Since Jade Shatter True Monarch met his end by my hand, it is only fitting that I bear the associated karma," Chen Mobai proclaimed with a sense of righteousness, then, with a wave of his sleeve, secured the two Dao Fruits.

With the spoils of the recent conflict duly managed, the Deity Transformation cultivators made preparations for their departure.

Chen Mobai unleashed his Divine Sense, directing it towards Han Xingzi, who remained concealed within the formidable Snow Mountain Sect’s Grand Formation. He then summoned him via voice transmission, coaxing the young man to obediently present himself.

Upon his arrival, Han Xingzi offered profuse thanks to Chen Mobai and the others. He confessed that he had committed numerous wrongs under the oppressive domination of the ancient demon, Jade Shatter True Monarch. Tears welled in his eyes as he lamented, "My junior sister was such a virtuous soul. Merely due to her compatible physique, her Divine Sense was annihilated, and her very being was usurped. At that moment, I swore in my heart that if ever the opportunity arose, I would exact vengeance for her. Today, with the intervention of these True Monarchs, the most formidable threat to our Three Veins of Ice Heaven has been eradicated..."

Observing the genuine remorse emanating from Han Xingzi, Chen Mobai and his companions chose not to press the matter further. Ni Yuanzhong affirmed his lack of malevolent intent through a Daoist Heart Oath, effectively concluding the inquiry.

"Moving forward, our four Great Holy Lands intend to forge the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance. Should the Three Veins of Ice Heaven express interest, you are welcome to seek affiliation."

As a parting gesture, Chen Mobai recalled the ice-sealed mausoleum that served as Jade Shatter True Monarch's final resting place. It undoubtedly contained numerous valuable artifacts that should rightfully now belong to Han Xingzi, hence his extended invitation.

"Thank you, True Monarch. I humbly request to join."

Han Xingzi offered his thanks repeatedly, seemingly oblivious to Chen Mobai's discreet acquisition of the two Dao Fruits.

Having concluded this affair, the four Deity Transformation cultivators parted ways, each proceeding on their individual paths.

However, Dustless True Monarch accompanied Chen Mobai for a significant distance, their conversation primarily revolving around matters concerning Zhuo Ming. "Nephew Zhuo’s insightful diagnosis was instrumental in Longevity Eyebrow’s advancement. Clan Leader Feng Qingshu indicated that had the treatment been delayed by another year or two, the Spirit Plant’s condensed internal power would have inevitably reached its saturation point, forcing a premature and likely disastrous breakthrough..."

"I am delighted that my disciple could offer assistance," Chen Mobai replied courteously, subsequently inquiring further about the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm.

Once the Heavenly Emperor's seal was inscribed, the Great Dao rules governing the Tianhe Realm would undergo gradual modification, permitting the extended existence of those in the Void Refining Realm.

For the present moment, such a scenario was deemed impossible, necessitating a defined temporal framework.

Chen Mobai harbored the aspiration of achieving a breakthrough to the Cultivating Void stage within that timeframe, thereby circumventing the necessity of Ascendance.

He was not inclined towards frequent relocation, and with the presence of the Portal, alternative avenues for accumulating Dao Merits to procure high-tier resources existed, diminishing his interest in the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm.

After all, upon ascending, he would invariably fall under the scrutiny of the Generation Emperor and Taixu True King, both formidable Pure Yang Great Powers, and his Emperor’s Scroll along with the Turtle Treasure would forge karmic ties with them.

His primary objective was to evade such entanglements if at all possible.

Should evasion prove unfeasible, contingency plans would be devised.

"Regarding the timeline, Master Wuwei's prophecy indicates it should occur approximately three hundred years from now." Grateful for the assistance concerning the Longevity Eyebrow, Dustless True Monarch readily disclosed this vital information.

"Three centuries hence? Won't that coincide precisely with the momentous righteous and demonic sword duel!"

Chen Mobai expressed a flicker of astonishment upon hearing this revelation.

It appeared the agreed-upon sword duel between the leader of the Central Demonic Path and Taixu Immortal held a profound, underlying significance.

"Ever since Mother of Water founded the Tianhe Realm, it has weathered numerous great calamity cycles. Currently, our Righteous Human Race holds the reins of governance, yet various Demon Tribe True Spirits, celestial demons from beyond the heavens, and even spectral entities from the Netherworld are scheming to usurp our authority and seize back control."

"The so-called righteous and demonic sword duel, while presented as a mere Magic Duel between Taixu Immortal and the Central Demonic Path's overlord, is in truth a fierce contention among several dominant powers for the redistribution of influence and dominion."

"Over these next three hundred years, the Tianhe Realm is destined for immense upheaval. Although the Eastern Continent is not in a central position, it carries a considerable karmic weight. Should we cultivators of the Righteous Path fail to stand united, a catastrophic calamity of widespread death is likely to befall us, leaving a desolate landscape with scarce survivors, their bones scattered across the land."

Dustless True Monarch imparted this secret knowledge, obtained from a master of the Upper Realm, to Chen Mobai. He then looked upon him with earnest expectation, stating, "The formation of the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance ought to offer some salvation for lives amidst this impending great calamity."
