I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2701 - 1242: 6 Pure Bamboo Stalks, 10,000 Lan Spirit Dao Merits
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Once the black-and-white snakes were severed, the treasure bead unleashed Yin Yang Qi, subsequently mending them into a complete form.
However, Chen Mobai's sword had already stirred its awareness, causing it to retreat timidly back into the Yin Yang Treasure Pearl, no longer daring to act boastfully.
"Reveal yourself honestly and answer my questions, or I shall reduce you to cinders."
Chen Mobai held the Yin Yang Treasure Pearl in his palm. Under the influence of 'The Union of Differences,' the spiritual essence of the black-and-white snakes was being gradually refined, despite its resistance.
The black-and-white snakes keenly understood that, at this pace, by the time the treasure bead was fully refined, there would be no avenue of escape left.
A sense of grievance washed over them; as the dignified spiritual beasts of an Ascended Monk who had brushed against the existence of the Sixth Rank Yin Yang Great Dao before its Sitting Transformation, they now found themselves utterly powerless, like tigers fallen to the ground, harassed by mere dogs.
Yet, having endured for countless ages, they knew the wisdom of bowing their heads when the time called for it.
"Please spare me, True Monarch. I shall emerge immediately."
Amidst the spiritual essence's pleas, the black-and-white snakes emerged once more from the Yin Yang Treasure Pearl, their two heads bowing repeatedly in salutation.
Chen Mobai inquired, "What are you?"
As he questioned, the Primordial Yang Sword materialized from behind Chen Mobai's head, its golden tip falling precisely between the twin heads of the black-and-white snakes, adding to their humiliation.
"I am the spiritual essence that has manifested from this inner core over millennia. Though inheriting the memories of the original Yin Yang Double Snakes, one could say I am indeed the Yin Yang Double Snakes..."
Under Chen Mobai's intense gaze, the black-and-white snakes, which had intended to deceive, suddenly felt a chill and divulged their true nature.
It transpired that the Yin Yang Double Snakes had failed in their attempt to ascend to the Sixth Rank thousands of years prior. However, before their demise, they had channeled all their essence, Qi, and spirit into the inner core, thereby achieving a metamorphosis and leaving behind a fragment of their memory.
Their failure during the Cultivation Void had been a consequence of a Great Dao impact upon their True Spirit, leading to the scattering of their soul.
Consequently, the spiritual essence of the black-and-white snakes, revived from the Yin Yang Treasure Pearl, while possessing the memories of the Yin Yang Double Snakes, could not truly be considered the Yin Yang Double Snakes.
"Apart from this Yin Yang Treasure Pearl, are there any other Sixth Rank Spiritual Objects within Lanyuan Valley?"
Leveraging his expertise as a professional array master, Chen Mobai posed a critical question.
Before the Yin Yang Double Snakes embarked on their Cultivation Void, Tianlan Taoist had already established a Sixth Rank Great Array within Lanyuan Valley. Considering the standards of array masters in the Tianhe Realm, it was highly probable that at least one Sixth Rank object would be present to anchor the core.
If it wasn't this Yin Yang Treasure Pearl, then surely another existed!
Upon hearing Chen Mobai's inquiry, the black-and-white snakes recognized the god-transcending cultivator before them as an array master and understood that his safe passage to this palace indicated he was among the foremost array masters in the Tianhe Realm. With this realization, their intent to utilize the Lanyuan Valley array to suppress Chen Mobai vanished.
"I shall not conceal it from you, True Monarch. There is indeed another object, known as Pure Bamboo, which my master acquired through an exchange with Pure Palace in the past. Initially a Fifth Rank Superior Grade item, it ascended to the Sixth Rank after being nurtured within this spirit vein for a thousand years, enriched by abundant spiritual liquid, Heavenly Spirit, and Earth Dew."
"Upon reaching the Sixth Rank, this Pure Bamboo became extraordinary, earning the name 'Six Roots Pure Bamboo'. It possesses the ability to free any cultivator who attains it from worldly worries, purifying their heart and mind, thereby ensuring they remain in the optimal state for cultivation and introspection."
"However, this Six Roots Pure Bamboo holds no benefit for cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, upon ascending, my master left it behind, in the hope that I might use it to comprehend the Sixth Rank Realm."
As the black-and-white snakes spoke of this, a profound melancholy settled upon them; despite possessing such a spiritual treasure, their cultivation had ultimately faltered.
"Where is this item located now?"
Chen Mobai listened intently, his interest piqued. While he, who wielded the Law of the Five Tones, had no personal need for the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, those close to him desperately did.
Should Qing Nu possess it, she might be able to achieve a rapid breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Even E Yun and Zhou Wangshen could utilize its properties to gain a deeper understanding of the essence of the Longevity Scripture.
For tens of thousands of years, the Pure Palace has maintained its esteemed position as the foremost holy land in the West Continent, all thanks to the presence of a single stalk of Six Roots Pure Bamboo.
This invaluable treasure possesses the ability to ascertain the innate talent of cultivators from the Pure Palace.
Consequently, even without rare spiritual items like the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, the Pure Palace has consistently produced cultivators at the Spirit Transformation stage throughout its generations.
"True Monarch, right this way!"
One of the leaders, resembling a black-and-white snake, gestured towards the area behind the palace. Chen Mobai, emboldened by his own prowess and sensing no immediate danger from the Heavenly Blessing, followed without hesitation.
Beyond the main hall lay a courtyard, devoid of any embellishments save for a solitary, slender bamboo standing serenely in its center. This, undoubtedly, was the Six Roots Pure Bamboo.
Its body, smooth as jade, emitted a faint luster. Under Chen Mobai's scrutiny, it exuded a calming aura that imbued him with a sense of spiritual purity.
The bamboo's leaves were a vibrant green, appearing lush and full. They swayed gently with the subtle breeze stirred by Chen Mobai's approach, producing a soft rustling sound, reminiscent of ethereal music, clear and delightful to the ear.
These pure notes, combined with the bamboo's delicate fragrance, transported Chen Mobai, making him feel as though he were witnessing a performance by a cultivator of the Mystic Sound Method.
He now understood why it was named the "Six Roots Pure Bamboo"!
Chen Mobai realized that with such a spiritual artifact, the Five Elements Sect could effectively address its deficiency in high-ranked cultivators compared to other holy lands.
He immediately prepared to take the Six Roots Pure Bamboo with him.
