I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2702 - 1242: 6 Pure Bamboo Stalks, 10,000 Lan Spirit Dao Merits_2

However, he discovered that this Rank-6 spirit plant had become one with the spirit vein of the entire Lanyuan Valley over countless years.

To remove it, disturbing the Lanyuan Valley's spirit vein and the Sixth Rank Great Array was unavoidable.

This action, however, would inevitably affect Ku Zhu, who was in the midst of Divinity Transformation, potentially leading to failure.

"True Monarch, I can actually substitute the Six Roots Pure Bamboo and become the core of the formation and the spirit vein..."

Sensing Chen Mobai's expression, the Black and White Dual Snakes understood that this God-Transcending True Monarch intended to take the Six Roots Pure Bamboo and promptly volunteered.

Its motive wasn't to aid Chen Mobai, but rather to see if this situation could offer an escape from Chen Mobai's control, or perhaps even seize control of Lanyuan Valley's Sixth Rank Great Array. It possibly envisioned using the residual power of Tianlan Taoist to subdue the God-Transcending True Monarch who had previously humiliated it.

"Oh, you can do that?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai, drawing upon his extensive knowledge of formations, had already conceived a viable solution.

While the Black and White Dual Snakes continuously nodded, Chen Mobai pushed his Response Earth Spirit realm to its zenith, even using Echoes in the Void to commune with the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, thus perfecting his strategy.

After confirming the plan was foolproof, Chen Mobai initially employed the Yin Yang Treasure Pearl to temporarily serve as the great array's core.

The Black and White Dual Snakes cooperated faultlessly during this phase. However, immediately after the core replacement was finalized, it was stunned to realize it lacked any authority to command the array.

Chen Mobai had no intention of relinquishing control of the array; his mastery of formation skills made adding a restriction a simple task.

With the Black and White Dual Snakes' ambitious plans thwarted, Chen Mobai unleashed the Primordial Yang Sword. A blinding flash of sword light later, the upper portion of the Six Roots Pure Bamboo was severed, though its roots remained embedded in the ground.

Even in its halved state, the Six Roots Pure Bamboo retained its Rank-6 status, although its efficacy for a God-Transcending cultivator would be lessened.

Yet, Chen Mobai had no need for its full power; for Qing Nu and the others, half was more than sufficient.

After securing half of the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, Chen Mobai marked the location. This ensured that once Ku Zhu's divinity transformation yielded results, other disciples of the Five Elements Sect could inherit this distinct courtyard within Lanyuan Valley from the West Continent.

Subsequently, Chen Mobai delved into his inventory, retrieving over ten Rank-5 herbs recently harvested from Lanyuan Valley. Employing the Technique of Void Transformation, he expanded the courtyard's soil and carefully buried them.

This location, imbued with Sixth Rank Spiritual Energy, was akin to relocating these herbs into a lavish mansion, greatly enhancing their spiritual vitality.

Chen Mobai made a rough estimation: within a century, these Rank-5 herbs would reach full maturity.

The future disciples of the Five Elements Sect destined to inherit this courtyard would indeed be fortunate.

Having reset the array's core, Chen Mobai produced the Yin Yang Treasure Pearl once more.

The Black and White Dual Snakes, with a look of utter defeat, reappeared within Chen Mobai's palm.

It had just exerted all the incantations passed down by Tianlan Taoist to command the array, yet it was utterly incapable of bypassing the restriction Chen Mobai had imposed.

This confirmed that the great array had been completely mastered by the God-Transcending True Monarch before it.

Who exactly was this God-Transcending True Monarch, so young yet possessing such profound cultivation, and whose formation skill had reached the pinnacle of Sixth Rank?

"Where is the inheritance of Tianlan Taoist?"

Chen Mobai inquired about another crucial matter. The ownership of Lanyuan Valley rightfully belonged to Tianlan Taoist, the ascended monk. Following him were Ku Zhu and Mysterious Water, this couple. However, for legitimacy, mastering Tianlan Taoist's cultivation arts was essential.

The couple, both practicing Divinity Transformation Techniques, could not simply switch paths. Therefore, it was necessary to ascertain if a suitable cultivation technique existed within the Five Elements Sect.

Ideally, their child would be the one to inherit it.

However, this was contingent on the suitability of Tianlan Taoist's cultivation technique.

"I possess it in my memory, and there are jade slips left by Master in the west side hall containing his entire inheritance. I can guide True Monarch there."

Following the incident with the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, the Black and White Dual Snakes recognized its inability to contend with Chen Mobai and exhibited an unprecedented willingness to cooperate.

The west side hall also contained restrictions, but before Chen Mobai could utter a word, the Black and White Dual Snakes began chanting, effortlessly opening it.

Within the chamber, a cultivation mat occupied the center, flanked by a censer. These furnishings, though crafted from Rank-5 materials, bore the mark of inferior artifact-refining techniques, reducing their quality to mere Rank-4.

Reluctant to see such valuable resources go to waste, Chen Mobai resolved to re-refine them before his departure. He intended for these refined items to be passed down to future disciples of the Five Elements Sect who would inherit the Lanyuan Valley courtyard.

Three walls of the cultivation room were adorned with bookshelves, their wooden surfaces laden with hundreds of jade slips. A sweep of his divine sense revealed not only the inheritance of Tianlan Taoist but also other treasures he had gathered.

These collected items were ancient, some even local legends from the West Continent. In Chen Mobai's assessment, many of them contained contradictions. Nevertheless, he saw their value in enriching the Five Elements Sect's library and broadening the disciples' understanding.

Chen Mobai's attention finally settled upon the inheritance of Tianlan Taoist.

This cultivation technique, known as the "Ten Thousand Mist Spiritual Dao Merits," was practiced by an ascended monk and specifically required a Wind Spiritual Root for entry. It offered a dual cultivation path, focusing on both body and technique.

While Chen Mobai found the technique to be fairly ordinary, it possessed certain unique characteristics.

According to the merits, once both the primordial spirit and the physical body reached the Peak of Fifth Rank, a secret technique could be employed to merge them into a single entity. This process would forcibly break through to Cultivating Void, enabling one to step into the Great Dao.

Tianlan Taoist had successfully attained this void cultivation through this very method, eventually achieving ascension.

In essence, practicing this technique offered a guaranteed pathway toward the Cultivating Void stage.

Given Tianlan Taoist's success, the probability of achieving a similar outcome was not insignificant.

However, every advantage carries a corresponding drawback.

The technique detailed how the primordial spirit would eventually consume the body cultivated through arduous effort. Yet, after achieving Cultivating Void, the primordial spirit, having entered the Great Dao, could exist independently without a physical form, either by roaming freely or by creating an external incarnation. Should a physical body be desired, various Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects could be utilized to reconstruct one.

Alternatively, one might attempt to nurture the flesh with the primordial spirit, striving for Blood Rebirth – a possibility that dawned on Chen Mobai upon reviewing this technique, though he remained uncertain of its feasibility.

After a thorough contemplation of the "Ten Thousand Mist Spiritual Dao Merits," Chen Mobai meticulously recorded the pivotal aspects of its dual cultivation method that facilitated the breakthrough to Cultivating Void. He then analyzed these core components through the lens of the Law of the Five Tones, integrating them into his own understanding.

Within the Tianhe Realm, he stood alone as the possessor of the Law of the Five Tones, enabling him to achieve this unique synthesis. Any other cultivator aspiring to impact Cultivating Void using this technique would necessitate a Wind Spiritual Root and a complete re-cultivation of the "Ten Thousand Mist Spiritual Dao Merits."

This period of enlightenment spanned an additional two months.

Upon opening his eyes, Chen Mobai observed that the censer beside the meditation mat was alight, emitting tendrils of ethereal fragrance that instilled a profound sense of calm within his heart and mind.

An inquiry to the Primordial Yang Sword Spirit revealed that the Black and White Dual Snakes were responsible for lighting the censer, having brought the incense from another side hall.

Their unexpected thoughtfulness made Chen Mobai's subsequent actions feel somewhat difficult to execute.

Hearing about their consideration, Chen Mobai found himself in a moment of hesitation.

His initial intention was to deal with the Black and White Dual Snakes, as he surmised they might obstruct future Five Elements Sect disciples inheriting the Lanyuan Valley courtyard.

However, their immense cooperation had yielded significant benefits for him, and he felt a pang of guilt at the thought of acting against them now.

"Come here, I shall present you with two options."

Ultimately, Chen Mobai summoned the Black and White Dual Snakes and addressed them directly.

The first option offered was for Chen Mobai to take them with him, accompanying the chosen disciple of the Five Elements Sect who would inherit Lanyuan Valley in the future.

The second choice was for them to remain within Lanyuan Valley. In this scenario, Chen Mobai would integrate them into the remaining Six Roots Pure Bamboo, serving as the spirit of the formation. Upon the arrival of a Five Elements Sect disciple bearing Chen Mobai's token, they would be compelled to recognize that disciple as their master.

"And what of this treasure pearl..."

The Black and White Dual Snakes cast a glance at the Yin Yang Treasure Pearl resting in Chen Mobai's palm. Under Chen Mobai's amused gaze, they swallowed the remainder of their unspoken words and decisively opted for the second choice.

A sense of apprehension towards Chen Mobai permeated their being, leading them to believe that remaining behind was the safer course of action.
