I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2723 - 1254: Packed Up and Taken Away (Part 2)

For instance, if the Dark Vortex were to integrate the Three-eyed King's eyeball and the Spiritual Venerable's Law Domain with his own grand banner, he might potentially forge an artifact possessing the power of Seventh Rank.

It is precisely because of this possibility that numerous Nascent Soul cultivators strive to develop their law domains whenever feasible, aiming to elevate their lifespan artifacts.

However, the cultivation of a law domain, unless sanctioned by a decree from the Central Dojo, proves exceedingly challenging to perfect through individual effort alone.

The Spiritual Venerable dedicated millennia to its creation, utilizing the Heaven and Earth Placenta, and even then, only achieved preliminary success.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt a pang of guilt, having already refined the Seven Great Heavenly Books, bequeathed by the Five Ancestors of the Immortal Gate, into his own law domain, thereby completing the "bestowal of decrees."

Consequently, he still owed seven Dao Merits to the Immortal Gate.

"Senior, I acknowledge my transgression..."

Chen Mobai candidly confessed the matter to the Spiritual Venerable.

"You've already forged a law domain? Yet you are only at Divinity Transformation?" The Spiritual Venerable's eyes widened in astonishment upon learning that Chen Mobai had utilized the Seven Great Heavenly Books to finalize the "bestowal of decrees."

Even she had only truly ascended her law domain after reaching the Cultivating Void stage.

Therefore, she had not brought the Seven Great Heavenly Books with her when she departed, anticipating the need to refine them after achieving the Sixth Rank of the law domain. She left with Bai Guang through the Starry Sky Great Shift portal, yet she harbored doubts about her own breakthrough. To her surprise, Bai Guang achieved Cultivating Void during their journey, which in turn benefited her, leading to the discovery of a star possessing a Sixth Rank Water Spirit Vein, which allowed her to succeed as well.

"By chance, during a period of secluded cultivation, I suddenly grasped the essence of the Six Imperial Scripture," Chen Mobai stated concisely, omitting specific details to emphasize his comprehension.

"Did you not refine the Heaven and Earth Placenta for your law domain?" the Spiritual Venerable inquired after listening to his explanation.

Chen Mobai offered a nod in affirmation.

His capacity to forge the law domain was entirely attributed to his innate talent.

"It is no wonder then. Perhaps the Seven Great Heavenly Books they acquired were indeed destined for you to complete the 'bestowal of decrees,'" the Spiritual Venerable remarked, looking at Chen Mobai with a sense of relief.

"Oh? And why is that?" Chen Mobai inquired, a puzzled expression on his face.

"While refining the Heaven and Earth Placenta offers a shortcut for the law domain, it results in unstable foundations, insufficient to earn the Mahayana Book's approval. Only by forging it through your innate talent, as you have done, can one achieve the 'bestow decrees' status." The Spiritual Venerable expounded on the intricacies of the law domain, knowledge derived from the Candle Dragon Path, information that even Divinity Transformation cultivators within the Immortal Gate had not disseminated.

Chen Mobai recalled that prior to forging his law domain, he had already perceived the profundities of the Mahayana Book.

However, the Spiritual Venerable's mention of "approval" hinted at a potentially different aspect.

Time was of the essence, as the Dark Vortex could materialize from the Purple Cloud Palace at any moment, preventing Chen Mobai from pursuing further inquiries.

"This location has already been detected by a Nascent Soul cultivator; we cannot linger here any longer. Is there anything you require me to retrieve, Senior?" Chen Mobai gestured towards the Dark Vortex, who was meditating on a mat within the palace, and asked the Spiritual Venerable.

"If it is possible, take my disciples with us." The Spiritual Venerable indicated the Deep Sea Giant Beasts that had tumbled from the stone steps into the ocean, resembling fish.

Earlier, within Chen Mobai's law domain, she had observed its immense capacity, finding it could easily accommodate this entire planet.

Chen Mobai nodded his assent, flicking his sleeve to swiftly collect all the creatures and the vast ocean from the planet, drawing them into his law domain.

"The Star Core of this planet appears to hold its own secrets; the demonic thought residing within is peculiar, as if nurturing something. I suspect the individual who came here sought this very reason. It would be prudent to take it along," the Spiritual Venerable advised as they prepared to depart, pointing towards a crevice in the planet's crust, resulting from her prior battle with the Dark Vortex, which led directly to the Star Core.

The fissure extended all the way down to the Star Core.

Chen Mobai complied with her wishes, also taking the planet's Sixth Rank Spirit Vein, its source originating from the depths of the core, which was conveniently included.

Had it not required time to refine the Heaven and Earth Placenta, Chen Mobai might well have taken the entire planet.

Shortly thereafter, the Dark Vortex, who had barely managed to attain any comprehension within the Purple Cloud Palace, found himself enveloped by an inescapable force. He was abruptly lifted from the mat and propelled out above the planet.

He widened his mouth in astonishment, gazing at the planet's now hollowed-out core, a scene of utter chaos with raging storms and torrential downpours. It was a completely transformed world that left him bewildered.

Were it not for his artifact's great banner, impaled within the Spiritual Venerable's law domain and actively refining it, he might have erroneously believed the Purple Cloud Palace had transported him to an entirely different celestial body.

Then, his immense Divine Sense unfurled, probing every single inch of the planet's expanse.

Yet, he could not locate even a wisp of Chen Mobai or the Spiritual Venerable. Not a single creature stirred.

The Dark Vortex concluded that this monumental feat could only have been accomplished by that enigmatic youth from the Purple Cloud Palace.

Just who was this individual?

Rumble!

At this very moment, with the Star Core seized and no longer anchored by the planet's Core Yuan Magnet, the celestial body began its inevitable collapse.

As he observed the pilfered Star Core, the Dark Vortex's countenance grew grim.

He originated from the Withering Glory Dojo and had inherited the profound teachings of the Withering Daoist Monarch. However, the latter had vanished along with the demise of the Mystic Palace, thus his current cultivation level was a testament to his solitary efforts.

The final volume of the Withering and Flourishing Scripture mentioned the Withering Daoist Monarch as a disciple of the Pure Yang Great Power Merciful Dao Ancestor. It noted the Monarch's inability to grasp the Great Dao Sword Intent left by the Ancestor, attributed to his insufficient comprehension.

Furthermore, an Ancient Star Map was included, which the Withering Daoist Monarch described as a Cave Dwelling utilized by an incarnation of the Merciful Dao Ancestor for a transcendental endeavor through an alternate path.

The Withering Daoist Monarch had explicitly cautioned his descendants to pay homage when passing by this particular location.

Given that the Ancient Star Map corresponded with the rumored location of the annihilated Mystic Palace, the Dark Vortex had dedicated a significant period to its search, even venturing into surrounding Star Domains and eradicating hundreds of similar planets, all without discovering the authentic site.

Fortuitously, over twenty years prior, he had slain the Three-eyed King near the periphery of the Mystic Palace within the Xuanyang Star System. It was then that he discovered the Star Domain aligned perfectly with the Ancient Star Map.

Subsequently, he located this planet.

However, it was already under the dominion of a True Spirit who had established a formidable law domain.

Still, to attain his present cultivation state, the Dark Vortex had annihilated countless beings; a mere True Spirit was insignificant.

Even encountering the opportunity presented by the Purple Cloud Palace, his fortune was undeniably extraordinary.

The now-desolated planet before him served as a stark reminder to the Dark Vortex that his streak of exceptional luck had reached its conclusion.

"Still, acquiring a law domain is better than nothing!"

The Dark Vortex attempted to console himself as he gazed upon the Beiming Law Realm, meticulously refined by his obsidian great banner.

Nevertheless, he meticulously logged this grievance in his memory.

This ancient Star Map, painstakingly recorded by the Withering Daoist Monarch and associated with the Merciful Dao Ancestor, was undoubtedly no trivial matter.

What precisely was that incarnation of the Merciful Dao Ancestor attempting to achieve here?

...

Returning to Fushang Star, Chen Mobai kept the Spiritual Venerable securely contained.

Considering the planet harbored Nascent Soul cultivators and the Spiritual Venerable was critically injured, any imperfect concealment of her Qi signature could potentially attract unwanted attention.

Moreover, he had already incurred the enmity of the Dark Vortex.

He was merely a Divinity Transformation cultivator, a negligible figure within the vast Purple Cloud Universe. However, should the Spiritual Venerable gain notoriety at the Xuanhu Dojo, the Dark Vortex residing in the Xuanyang Star System would inevitably be informed.

From there, the risk of them being tracked to the Immortal Gate's gathering, leading to their potential extermination, was substantial.

Within Chen Mobai's law domain.

Having successfully absconded with the entire Star Core, he now possessed a Sixth Rank Water Spirit Vein and a vast ocean.

The Spiritual Venerable could recuperate within this sanctuary.

With the immediate danger averted, Chen Mobai turned his thoughts to Bai Guang.

As his wife, her safety and well-being were his foremost concern.
