I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2711 - 1247:
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
"The Human Path Disk is located within the Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest, and the Heavenly Path Disk has been dispatched to the Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace by the former Emperor."
"With the ongoing alterations to the Great Dao Rules of this realm, the presence of the Six Paths Child Plates within its boundaries will inevitably cause them to attract one another, ultimately leading to the reformation of the cycle of life and death and reincarnation."
Upon receiving this information, Chen Mobai offered a slight nod and then posed a crucial inquiry: "What if one of the disks is not present within the Tianhe Realm?"
This particular question was one Ye Qing had already contemplated and subsequently brought before the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Ancestor.
"The ancestor explained that in such a scenario, the Six Paths of Reincarnation would suffer from a deficiency. Beings attempting to reincarnate would be restricted to transmigration through only the remaining five paths. Over extended periods, this imbalance would disrupt the ecological chain of reincarnation, posing a threat to the stability of the world's rules and potentially triggering a tribulation."
Chen Mobai contemplated the implications of Ye Qing's words, grasping their full meaning.
While the absence of a disk wouldn't halt the grand cycle of life and death, it could destabilize the world's fundamental rules over millennia. A culmination of such disruptions might necessitate a complete overhaul of the reincarnation system or even a purging of beings across the Six Paths.
Considering this, it became apparent that harboring the Evil Spirit Dao Child Plate within the Xuanhu Dojo for an extended duration was not advisable.
Chen Mobai began to formulate a strategy, calculating the possibilities in his mind.
He shared a friendly alliance with the Nine Heavens Morality Sect; should the Demon Vibration Ancestor achieve success, he would undoubtedly be pleased. However, if Tongtian Peak were to fall before that, and the Wheel of Reincarnation were stolen, Chen Mobai would have no choice but to safeguard the Evil Spirit Dao Child Plate by taking it to the Xuanhu Dojo, thereby preventing it from falling into the hands of malevolent forces.
Following this discussion, Chen Mobai and Ye Qing conferred on matters of defense.
"This situation impacts the entirety of the Righteous Path, and the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance has just been established. We can leverage this event to orchestrate the first major mobilization..."
Chen Mobai articulated his strategic vision, emphasizing that this impending overhaul would certainly draw the attention of the Central Demon Lord, the preeminent figure of the Demon Path within the Tianhe Realm.
As the foremost authority in the Eastern Continent, Chen Mobai harbored no hesitation in confronting this formidable opponent.
Yet, beyond the Central Demon Lord, numerous hidden powers were likely to emerge from the shadows, potentially including individuals such as the Nine Ghost Mother’s Progeny.
Unlike the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm and the Netherworld, there were no Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulations separating them from the Tianhe Realm, allowing spectral entities to infiltrate at any moment.
Fortunately, even if Rank Six beings from the Netherworld were to enter the Tianhe Realm, the current Ascendance rules would impose limitations, preventing them from unleashing their full might.
Furthermore, due to the inherent opposition between the Yin and Yang Realms, beings from the Yin Realm experienced a significant reduction in their power within the Tianhe Realm.
The Nine Heavens Morality Sect possessed a Rank Six Great Array, supported by two Divinity Transformation stage experts and two Rank Six Artifacts. Chen Mobai was confident that, in a purely defensive engagement, even the Central Demon Lord would find it challenging to breach their defenses.
"Brother Ni is already coordinating with the Dao Morale Sect and Taixu MiaoMiao Palace..."
Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s mention of the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance, Ye Qing also brought up his own endeavors. This matter pertained to the ancestor’s Great Dao, and even at the cost of depleting all their accrued favors, the Nine Heavens Morality Sect was resolute in seeing this hardship through.
"What if we convened a meeting? After all, since the inception of the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance, a meeting exclusively for Divinity Transformation cultivators has yet to be held. Such an event could significantly bolster the confidence of wavering Righteous Path factions, encouraging them to join and offer their support."
Chen Mobai consistently sought opportunities to enhance the influence and standing of the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance.
A second Primordial Spirit had already journeyed to the West Continent via the teleportation array belonging to Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, expediting the resolution of the Mysterious Water situation. The Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance, a coalition formed by the Four Great Holy Lands, had recently been established in the Dongling Domain and was actively recruiting external members.
However, due to prevailing local sentiments, many Righteous Path forces still harbored reservations about this new alliance.
Chen Mobai believed that the inaugural assembly of Divinity Transformation cultivators would serve to alleviate these apprehensions.
"Very well, I shall return and extend invitations to the other elders immediately."
Ye Qing readily agreed to the proposal, nodding in confirmation.
Shortly thereafter, Chen Mobai received missives from Shenxi, Dan Miaosu, and others, seeking his counsel on the affairs pertaining to the Nine Heavens Morality Sect.
Chen Mobai conveyed his endorsement of their proposed course of action.
A fortnight passed, and the inaugural representative assembly for the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance convened within the Dongling Domain. As the four great Holy Lands, their role as permanent directors entailed not only overseeing the alliance’s operations but also wielding ultimate decision-making authority and the power of veto.
Numerous righteous path factions, having already pledged allegiance, gave their unanimous approval, casting their votes in favor of the selection of the four permanent directors.
This consensus was largely influenced by the presence of Chen Mobai and the four Divinity Transformation cultivators, who were seated prominently at the forefront.
During the assembly, directors such as Chen Lingming elucidated the various statutes and regulations governing the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance. Meanwhile, Chen Mobai and his companions departed early to convene a more intimate internal meeting within the Cave Dwelling of True Monarch Dustless.
At this smaller gathering, a unified conclusion was reached regarding the steadfast support for the Nine Heavens Morality Sect.
It was formally declared that should any auxiliary sect make an attempt to assault Tongtian Peak, immediate intervention and aid would be rendered upon notification.
...Desolate Sea.Ever since Chen Mobai eradicated a million demons from the Island of Ten Thousand Immortals on East Wu Land, this most desolate region among the Five Continents and Four Seas fell under the dominion of the Myriad Stars Alliance.
The Flying Sand Sect, the preeminent force within the Myriad Stars Alliance, experienced rapid growth by capitalizing on trade with the Five Elements Sect over the years, successfully producing three Nascent Soul Cultivators in a mere century.
However, as epochs turned and the Five Elements Sect also gained a comprehensive understanding of the Desolate Sea's circumstances, various elixirs and essential resources were no longer exclusively accessible to the Flying Sand Sect. Consequently, certain Nascent Soul forces within the Myriad Stars Alliance began to expand their influence by forging connections with the Five Elements Commerce Association.
Given the expansive territories formerly occupied by the Island of Ten Thousand Immortals, although occasional skirmishes arose amongst these factions, the conflicts remained largely contained.
Yet, the Myriad Stars Alliance, initially established as a bulwark against the Island of Ten Thousand Immortals, had, over time, devolved into a largely symbolic entity.
Upon learning of the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance's formation, some factions dispatched emissaries to the Five Elements Sect, signaling their desire to join.
Their stated rationale was compelling; a multitude of powers in the Desolate Sea were originally founded by Eastern Continent cultivators who had sought refuge at sea, fleeing the protracted conflicts of the Eastern Emperor Court and the Nine-Headed Great Saint eras, and they still held a sense of belonging to the Eastern Continent.
Chen Mobai, predictably, extended a welcoming hand, entrusting the management of these affiliations to E Yun and Chen Lingming, thus embracing all who wished to join.
Nevertheless, it represented a measure of disappointment for Chen Mobai that the Flying Sand Sect had not extended a similar overture.
Had the Flying Sand Sect aligned itself, the entirety of the Desolate Sea could have been integrated, paving the way for Chen Mobai to extend the Celestial Stars Earth Luo Star Formation into the region.
The predominantly independent forces within the Desolate Sea, by aligning with the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance, primarily aimed to counter the Flying Sand Sect, against whom they were unable to contend effectively within the existing structure of the Myriad Stars Alliance, thus seeking the patronage of the Five Elements Sect.
Following their integration, these newly affiliated groups shared numerous accounts detailing the Flying Sand Sect's history of oppressive behavior and high-handed conduct within the Desolate Sea.
In response to these accusations, Chen Mobai refrained from immediate acceptance, cautioning against prejudging based on a single perspective.
Drawing upon reports from the Five Elements Commerce Association and synthesizing a variety of intelligence, Chen Mobai gradually discerned the underlying motivations of the Flying Sand Sect.
“It appears that Taishi Weiguang harbors aspirations of elevating the Flying Sand Sect to the status of a Holy Land,” Chen Mobai opined, discussing his analysis with Qing Nu.
“Throughout the years, the Flying Sand Sect has procured a significant quantity of elixirs from Danxia Pavilion. If Elder Taishi truly embarks on a path toward Divinity Transformation, those resources would indeed prove invaluable,” Qing Nu remarked, having consulted the financial records maintained with the Flying Sand Sect and noting this particular pattern.
Chen Mobai inquired, “Considering the possibility, if Taishi Weiguang achieves Divinity Transformation, do you believe he would continue to preside over the Desolate Sea as its sovereign ruler, or would he rather join the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance, leveraging his Divinity Transformation prestige to claim a position as the fifth permanent director?”
After due consideration, Qing Nu leaned towards the former scenario as the more plausible outcome.
The adage, “It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix,” represents a timeless wisdom universally understood.
“However, Taishi Weiguang’s probability of success in achieving Divinity Transformation likely falls below ten percent, thus there appears to be little immediate cause for concern regarding this particular matter.”
