I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2714 - 1249: Meeting Ruan Lilong

Within the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, Chen Mobai promptly received a summons from Ruan Lilong, requesting a personal audience. Although Yuan Chiye had delivered news, Ruan Lilong, being directly involved, would possess more intimate details regarding the downfall of the Myriad Stars Alliance. Furthermore, Chen Mobai held a certain recollection of this younger cultivator, prompting him to travel to Stormy Immortal City for their meeting.

"Desolate Abyss Canyon, an Immortal’s Secret Realm!" Chen Mobai expressed a flicker of surprise upon hearing Ruan Lilong’s revelation.

When Taishi Weiguang had led the Myriad Stars Alliance forces away, he had anticipated potential dangers. Consequently, he had entrusted the Flying Sand Sect’s most profound secret to Ruan Lilong, their most exceptional junior disciple. In the sect's dire, near-destruction state, Ruan Lilong subsequently divulged this secret to secure Chen Mobai’s trust.

Given Chen Mobai’s current cultivation attainment, only secret realms established by Ascended Monks, at the very least, could genuinely capture his interest.

Previously, the Second Primeval Spirit had reaped substantial benefits from Lanyuan Valley on the West Continent.

Following Qing Nu’s acquisition of the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, her mastery of the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture saw swift advancement. Additionally, various other Rank-5 spiritual herbs were successfully transplanted into the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion. Under the meticulous cultivation of Zhuo Ming, these herbs flourished, exhibiting even greater vitality than they had in Lanyuan Valley.

Therefore, upon learning of the Immortal’s Secret Realm from Ruan Lilong, Chen Mobai felt a distinct allure. He contemplated whether the Five Elements Sect, as a neighbor to the Myriad Stars Alliance, ought to offer assistance during this tumultuous period by investigating the events that transpired in the Desolate Abyss Canyon, which had claimed the lives of so many powerful cultivators.

However, the instant this notion surfaced, the Heavenly Blessing issued a strident alert.

It was not a subtle caution but an alarmingly intense one.

This indicated the presence of a power capable of posing a lethal threat to Chen Mobai, far exceeding the might of the Jade Shatter True Monarch, who was merely at the initial Cultivating Void state.

Chen Mobai instantly abandoned any thoughts of lending aid.

"I implore you, Senior, to lend your strength to our Flying Sand Sect," Ruan Lilong pleaded, tears streaming down his face. Despite the shattering of approximately seventy to eighty percent of the soul tablets belonging to the Myriad Stars Alliance cultivators led by Taishi Weiguang, a portion of them still endured.

Notable among the survivors were the two Nascent Soul cultivators, Taishi Weiguang and Xiang Chunlei. If their rescue could be achieved, the Flying Sand Sect might still preserve its standing as the preeminent force within the Myriad Stars Alliance.

"Recently, the East Continent is also poised to confront a significant tribulation. My responsibility lies in safeguarding the Borderland Three Regions, protecting countless lives. This duty is of paramount importance, and I am truly unable to depart at this juncture," Chen Mobai stated with a sigh.

Internally, Ruan Lilong harbored minimal expectations of persuading Chen Mobai, the first cultivator to reach the Spirit Transformation Stage in the East Continent.

After all, the Desolate Sea region was notoriously impoverished, possessing a scarcity of Rank-5 resources.

Nevertheless, a faint glimmer of hope persisted, compelling him to reveal the existence of the Immortal’s Secret Realm.

Yet, the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor, recognized for his profound virtue, remained resolute against such a tempting prospect.

"Senior, I humbly inquire if our Flying Sand Sect may be permitted to join the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance. We are prepared to integrate the entirety of the Myriad Stars Alliance forces from the Wilderness Sea into your fold," Ruan Lilong finally disclosed his true intention.

If the truth behind the Desolate Abyss Canyon remained unclarified, he dared not linger in the Desolate Sea and yearned only for refuge within the territories of the Five Elements Sect. Should he gain entry into the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance, he might even find himself under the protection of the Four Great Holy Lands.

"Certainly, there shall be no issue. However, the Myriad Stars Alliance encompasses numerous factions. Adhering to the proper procedure will necessitate a considerable amount of time. I shall summon Ling Ming to facilitate the initial inclusion of your Nascent Soul Major Factions," Chen Mobai responded. Within the Tianhe Realm, numerous demonic entities populated the Four Seas. In the initial stages, to counter the Barren Sea Demon Race, the Myriad Stars Alliance had broadly accepted all who sought affiliation, irrespective of their Immortal Cultivation background, amassing over ten thousand entities.

Among these were countless minor Immortal Cultivation families, some possessing merely a single Spiritual Island. These minor entities certainly would not meet the stringent acceptance criteria of the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance, as their quality fell short of the required standards.

Promptly responding to Chen Mobai’s summons, Chen Lingming personally journeyed from the Dongling Domain.

The assimilation of the Desolate Sea forces into the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance represented an undertaking of immense significance for Chen Lingming, perhaps marking the most substantial expansion since the Alliance’s inception.

And with Chen Lingming in charge of recruitment, the Desolate Sea's Immortal Cultivation forces would undoubtedly follow the Five Elements Sect's lead within the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance.

Ruan Lilong fully backed this arrangement. However, because several other Nascent Soul stage powers from the Myriad Stars Alliance had already sworn allegiance to the Five Elements Sect, he wasn't afforded the utmost VIP treatment. Despite this, Ruan Lilong bore no ill will and even extended significant benefits to Chen Lingming.

In the present circumstances, becoming part of the grand family of the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance held greater importance.

Chen Lingming, displaying remarkable prudence, declared his intention to handle all affairs with impartiality. He declined the Rank-5 Spiritual Objects offered by Ruan Lilong and promptly reported the matter to Chen Mobai.

"Accepting gifts would compromise impartiality and obstruct fairness in the future. You have acted commendably," Chen Mobai praised such uprightness. He then brought up another matter for which he had summoned Chen Lingming: "Within the Myriad Stars Alliance of the Desolate Sea, their advancements and expertise in treasure ship manufacturing surpass that of the Eastern Continent. Given your responsibility for the treasure ship repairs in the Wandering Mountain Secret Realm, you shall collaborate with Ruan Lilong to spearhead the production of Rank-5 Treasure Ships."

As one of the esteemed Hall of Ten Directions within the Eastern Emperor Court, the Flying Sand Sect had once been a trusted confidant of the Empress, holding dominion over one of the Six Dragon Treasure Ships. When the decision was made to depart the Eastern Continent for the Desolate Sea to establish a new base, they naturally carried the treasure ship blueprints with them.

On the Desolate Sea, treasure ship technology was in constant evolution. Thus, over the passage of millennia, each faction within the Myriad Stars Alliance had cultivated distinct insights into treasure ship production. Nevertheless, the Flying Sand Sect continued to possess the most sophisticated treasure ship blueprints, standing as the sole entity with experience in manufacturing Rank-5 Treasure Ships across the entire Desolate Sea.

Taishi Weiguang harbored the audacity to venture into the Desolate Abyss Canyon precisely because the Flying Sand Sect possessed a Fifth Rank treasure ship. His conviction was that by piloting this vessel, alongside the Third and Fourth Rank treasure ships from other Myriad Stars Alliance factions, they could effectively withstand even a Divinity Transformation stage opponent.

Little did he realize the grim truth: he ventured forth, never to return.

"Yes, sir!" Chen Lingming exclaimed, nodding enthusiastically upon hearing Chen Mobai's directive.

Previously, during the conflict between the Five Elements Sect and the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, he and Sheng Zhaoxi had been tasked with the repair of a heavily damaged treasure ship that had emerged from the Wandering Mountain Secret Realm.

While the Fourth Rank defects were rectified long ago, the power furnace of the Fifth Rank treasure ship remained an unresolved enigma. Later, Chen Lingming was reassigned by Chen Mobai to establish the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance, yet the desire to conquer this challenge lingered.

Now, armed with the profound expertise of the Flying Sand Sect, he envisioned the creation of a comprehensive framework for treasure ship construction within the Five Elements Sect, aspiring to forge an indomitable fleet capable of navigating the Four Seas.

Chen Mobai conveyed this objective to Ruan Lilong, who exhibited a degree of hesitation. The treasure ship technology represented the Flying Sand Sect's most significant underlying strength.

The various powers within the Tianhe Realm maintained a highly guarded stance regarding the dissemination of knowledge.

Perceiving Ruan Lilong's reservations, Chen Mobai produced the blueprint for the Six Dragon Treasure Ship without a second thought.

This artifact was originally procured by him and Jiang Zongheng from the Eastern Emperor Court's Secret Realm, and the treasure ship blueprint found there was demonstrably more complete than the Flying Sand Sect's inherited knowledge.

After all, while the Flying Sand Sect's ancestors were highly esteemed by the Empress of that era, a Sixth Rank treasure ship represented a formidable power capable of subjugating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in the Eastern Emperor Court, precluding the possibility of its related blueprints being passed down.

Upon examining the blueprint of the Six Dragon Treasure Ship, Ruan Lilong's eyes widened in astonishment, and his entire body began to tremble.

Possessing a lifetime of experience with treasure ships, he immediately recognized its absolute authenticity.

What surprised him most was the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor's willingness to bestow Sixth Rank knowledge so readily.

Reflecting on his own earlier hesitation, Ruan Lilong felt a profound sense of shame.

Subsequently, Chen Mobai utilized the Six Dragon Treasure Ship blueprint as a compelling incentive, inviting the Flying Sand Sect and relevant personnel from the Myriad Stars Alliance involved in treasure ship technology to join the Five Elements Sect's armaments factory—an offer that neither Ruan Lilong nor any other faction from the Myriad Stars Alliance could reasonably refuse.

"First, perfect the Fifth Rank treasure ship technology; there’s no need to work on the Sixth Rank yet."

Seeing Chen Lingming’s somewhat excited look, Chen Mobai added a few words.

Even at the peak of the Eastern Emperor Court, there were only six Sixth Rank treasure ships. With the current strength of the Five Elements Sect, they would have to spend their entire fortune to barely make one.

Furthermore, they might only be able to complete the hull.

The most crucial part of the treasure ship is the power furnace.

While Chen Mobai could learn the related knowledge by spending time, possibly crafting it in a few decades, he preferred to meditate and cultivate.

Moreover, for now, the Five Elements Sect has sufficient use for the Fifth Rank treasure ship.

To operate a Sixth Rank treasure ship, one would need at least a cultivator at the Divinity Transformation stage.

It would be better to wait until Qing Nu and Zhuo Ming reach Divinity Transformation before considering this matter.

Regarding the difficult power furnace, Chen Mobai had already considered a solution.

Previously, when he and Qi Yuheng were moving through the stars, they encountered a demon-contaminated planet and found a broken Sixth Rank fortress with a Sixth Rank power furnace inside.

That item is still placed in his Law Domain.

He planned to seek Cheng Xuan’s help once they settled their work on Fushang Star.

Given Cheng Xuan’s artifact refining skills, it should be possible to repair a Sixth Rank power furnace with the available data. However, if it is to be made into a Six Dragon Treasure Ship suitable for the Tianhe Realm, some modifications to this power furnace might be needed.

However, Chen Mobai believed this would not trouble Cheng Xuan.

If it doesn’t work, it might be better to modify it according to the Lingxiao Palace’s blueprint.

After all, they are both Sixth Rank, and the complete Lingxiao Palace could even unleash the destructive white light, likely making it more powerful than the Six Dragon Treasure Ship.

Thinking of this, Chen Mobai was very much looking forward to this scene.

He wondered if the so-called Nine Ghost Mother’s Sons, the extraterrestrial demonic great powers, could withstand the destructive strike of his Chaos Primal Energy Cannon?

After entrusting Chen Lingming with the matter, Chen Mobai decided to return to Fushang Star.
