I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2712 - 1249: The Fall of the Myriad Stars Alliance

The process of transformation within the Tianhe Realm presents significantly greater challenges compared to the Immortal Gate side, even setting aside the matter of resources.

Taishi Weiguang is certainly a remarkable individual. The Flying Sand Sect, once a prominent Hall within the Ten Directions during the era of the Eastern Emperor Court, has no recorded instances of Dao Fruit. Even if Deity Transformation Pills existed then, they would have undoubtedly been consumed by the Nascent Soul Cultivators of that age following the demise of the Sand Ancestor.

Previously, the Flying Sand Sect had made inquiries about Deity Transformation Pills from the major Holy Lands residing in the Eastern Continent. However, even their most treasured possession, the Five Direction Divine Sand, was deemed insufficient for exchange, leading all the Holy Lands to refuse their requests.

Without the aid of a Dao Fruit or Pills, achieving Divinity Transformation solely through one's own cultivation foundation is an exceptionally slim possibility. Even Chen Mobai considers a mere ten percent chance to be an overstatement.

"With the monumental changes unfolding across the heavens, the great catastrophe looms. I can only hope that the Flying Sand Sect can successfully defend the Desolate Sea before the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance makes its move," he mused.

Despite Chen Mobai's long-standing ambitions concerning the territory of the Desolate Sea, the Five Elements Sect is currently in no position to act. They have yet to fully integrate their existing territories.

The primary objectives for the Five Elements Sect, besides consolidating their present holdings, involve unlocking access to the more resource-rich Mysterious Sea and the Ruins. Within Chen Mobai's grand strategic vision, the Desolate Sea occupies the lowest priority.

Nevertheless, should the Flying Sand Sect, leading the Myriad Stars Alliance, opt for voluntary submission, Chen Mobai would undoubtedly accept. Such an action would further serve to showcase his eminent Saintly Virtue.

Now that Taishi Weiguang is striving to elevate the Flying Sand Sect back to the status of a Holy Land, Chen Mobai harbors his own intentions regarding this matter, but he will refrain from interference, choosing instead to await the outcome of his own Divinity Transformation.

Regardless of whether his own transformation succeeds or fails, from his perspective, the eventual subjugation of the Desolate Sea under the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance is a foregone conclusion.

Should his attempt at Divinity Transformation falter, it would simply mean the Flying Sand Sect seeks refuge under the protection of an Eastern Continent Holy Land during the impending catastrophe and submits. Even if he succeeds, Taishi Weiguang should recognize that a solitary instance of Divinity Transformation is insufficient to sustain them amidst such earth-shattering celestial shifts.

Nonetheless, it would undeniably be preferable if the Desolate Sea, serving as the rear guard for the Five Elements Sect, were firmly under their control.

However, given the current circumstances, maintaining the existing stability is also an acceptable outcome.

With these thoughts in mind, Chen Mobai initiated a discussion with Qing Nu regarding the Five Elements Sect's strategic response to the approaching cataclysm.

...

Within the Vast Sea, lies the Island of Ten Thousand Immortals.

Following the titanic clash between the Sand Ancestor and the Demon Venerable, the island had crumbled and plunged into the abyssal depths of the ocean.

However, at some point unknown, the seabed began its slow ascent, inch by inch. Eventually, it broke the surface of the sea, reforming into a rugged reef island.

From the ocean's depths, a youth emerged alongside the newly formed island. This youth was adorned in hues of blue and yellow, with a pair of wings gracing his back.

The youth's body was covered in crystalline, translucent scales. With every exhalation, snowflakes began to cascade from the heavens, causing a drastic drop in temperature within a thousand-mile radius.

Accompanied by the sound of splashing water, a breathtakingly beautiful woman, scantily clad in only a few shells, emerged from the sea. Leading a contingent of the Demon Tribe, she bowed respectfully to the youth, exclaiming, "Congratulations, Master, on your return to Rank-5!"

This woman was none other than the Demon Venerable's disciple, the Bivalve Pearl Demon King.

Recall that when Chen Mobai unleashed the Primordial Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder, her forces were on the verge of departing Cloud Dream. Sensing an imminent crisis of life and death, at the most critical juncture, she spat forth her life-bound Bivalve Pearl. Subsequently, she revealed her true form, sacrificing her Essence Qi to barely prolong her existence for a moment, thereby allowing the Bivalve Pearl to escape the destructive range of the Primordial Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder.

Afterward, she went to great lengths to conceal herself within Yun Meng Ze, subsisting on small fish and shrimp demons, painstakingly restoring her power to that of a Rank-2 cultivator. Later, utilizing her innate divine ability, she assumed a human form and traversed the East Wu Continent, evading cultivators before ultimately making her way back to the Desolate Sea.

Although her primary palace in the Desolate Sea had been overrun by the Myriad Stars Alliance, and all her precious possessions pilfered, she possessed several hidden Water Mansions, two of which remained untouched. Taking refuge within them, she rapidly utilized the available resources to achieve the Peak of the Third Rank.

It was precisely as she was preparing to break through to Rank-4 that she was discovered by the Demon Venerable.

Having emerged from the Tongtian Refining Road Tower, with the essence of the Demon Venerable at Deity Transformation Peak, it was simple to elevate this Demonic Sacred Embryo to Rank-4. However, ascending to Rank-5 would necessitate further resources.

This was because the attributes of the current Demonic Sacred Embryo did not perfectly align with the Demon Venerable’s White Dragon Dharma Aspect.

Nevertheless, the Demon Venerable’s cultivation followed the demon-immortal law, a dual cultivation path encompassing both the Primordial Spirit and the physical body. Over several decades, he had meticulously crafted a new Demonic Primordial Spirit, utilizing the Demonic Sacred Embryo as its foundation.

With the formation of the Demonic Primordial Spirit complete, and bolstered by the precious resources meticulously gathered across the Desolate Sea by the Jade Pearl, the Demon Venerable finally succeeded in elevating his physical body to the Rank-5 Undying Body dimensions today.

"What news do you have regarding the information I requested you to investigate?"

While acclimating himself to the enhanced power of this Rank-5 Demonic Sacred Embryo, the Demon Venerable directed his query towards the Jade Pearl Demon King.

"Reporting to Master, due to the frequent surges of dark currents within that undersea canyon, which bring forth valuable resources, a contingent of cultivators from various sects has been stationed there by the Myriad Stars Alliance. This team is under the command of Officer Tao Zhengdian, an expert in sand manipulation from the Flying Sand Sect..."

As the Jade Pearl Demon King detailed the gathered intelligence, the Demon Venerable offered a slight nod, his gaze drifting towards the precise location of the canyon.

This specific area lay in the deepest reaches of the Desolate Sea, directly interfacing with the Sea Eye of the very same region.

It was also identified as the former confinement zone established by the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm.

In bygone times, prior to the Demon Venerable achieving the Dao, he had inadvertently traversed into this place. It was there, within the remains of a White Dragon, that he had come into possession of the demon-immortal law inheritance.
