I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2732 - 1259: Heavenly Calamity Frost Disaster Saber
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Yao Guang Immortal City was a place of significant developments.
Du Mengyun found herself on the receiving end of dire news.
Her sworn enemy, Wen Buyue, following Diao Xianlan’s demise, had seized control of the Jade Mirror Demon Sect and, crucially, acquired a complete Deity Transformation Inheritance.
However, this alone would not have caused her undue concern. After all, her current sanctuary was within the Immortal City of the Five Elements Sect. It was an environment where even if Ming Zun were to be reincarnated, he would hesitate to make a move, lest he provoke the formidable Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor.
Yet, some time ago, through a transmission-elder of the Jade Mirror Demon Sect whom she had infiltrated via the Hua Shen Demon Sect incarnation, a hidden intelligence was uncovered.
This intelligence revealed that Wen Buyue had been recognized as a master by an Outer Heaven Demon Treasure. Consequently, his cultivation level had not only surged but he was potentially on the verge of ascending to Divinity Transformation.
Furthermore, Wen Buyue's cultivation path was anchored in the Jade Mirror Demon Sect’s unique techniques. To achieve Divinity Transformation, he necessarily required the absorption of the inheritance Du Mengyun possessed.
The allure of Divinity Transformation, amplified by his newfound Magic Treasure, convinced Du Mengyun that Wen Buyue might well risk an incursion into the Five Elements Sect’s territory to pursue her.
Upon receiving this intelligence, Du Mengyun’s immediate impulse was to seek out Chen Mobai.
Within the entirety of the Five Elements Sect, he was the sole Deity Transformation True Monarch capable of confronting Wen Buyue, especially with his acquired Magic Treasure.
The esteemed Nine Nascent Soul experts of the Five Elements Sect, in her estimation, were vastly overrated; their true combat prowess paled in comparison to her own at her zenith.
The crux of the issue, however, was Du Mengyun’s lack of a Message Talisman to contact Chen Mobai.
As a practitioner of the Magic Dao, her predicament was understandable. Chen Mobai, after implanting the Primordial Demon Talisman within her and sparing her life to study the Primordial Heavenly Demon Art, had promptly banished her from Northern Abyss City. He would never have provided her with a Message Talisman, an item that could potentially expose his covert dealings with the Demon Path.
Throughout the preceding century and beyond, Du Mengyun had contemplated abandoning Yao Guang Immortal City and escaping the Five Elements Sect’s dominion.
Yet, after protracted deliberation, she concluded that her current location offered the utmost security.
Externally, Wen Buyue actively hunted her, driven by the desire to annihilate her and perfect his own foundation.
Moreover, the recent prosperity of the Five Elements Sect had led to an unceasing influx of resources from across the East Continent into Northern Abyss City. While she couldn't journey there herself, she could dispatch members of the Sun family to procure necessities.
Regarding the elixirs from Danxia Pavilion, certain rare varieties were exclusively available at the main establishment in Northern Abyss City. As a vassal family of the Five Elements Sect, the Sun family held a specific purchasing quota.
Leveraging these advantages, Du Mengyun had managed to restore her cultivation to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Indeed, over the past hundred years, she had grown accustomed to a life of comfort, where the acquisition of Spirit Stones granted her access to any elixirs and resources she desired.
It was a stark contrast to her past as the Saintess of the Jade Mirror Demon Sect, where even a single batch of Rank-4 elixirs demanded the arduous collection of medicinal ingredients and often required the assistance of others for refinement, with no guarantee of success.
At certain junctures, Du Mengyun had even entertained the notion of completely renouncing her Demonic cultivation and embracing the Righteous Path of the Five Elements, openly seeking audience in the present-day Northern Abyss Immortal City. However, upon reflection, she deferred this idea, as the cultivation technique of the Sun family reached its limit at the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
Though the probability was minuscule, she clung to a faint hope for Divinity Transformation.
At the very least, both Demonic inheritances she possessed offered a pathway toward achieving Divinity Transformation.
Du Mengyun had also considered enlisting her Daoist companion, Hong He, to contact Chen Mobai. Over the years, she had meticulously investigated Hong He’s background, uncovering his status as a traitor to the Five Elements Sect. Nevertheless, based on Chen Mobai’s past demeanor, he seemed to harbor no animosity towards Hong He. Consequently, after bringing Hong He to Yao Guang Immortal City, Du Mengyun formalized their pretense into a genuine, albeit nominal, Daoist couple relationship.
However, this very arrangement fostered a deep-seated distrust between her and Hong He.
Though united in name as Daoist partners, they had never shared a private chamber; Hong He’s cultivation Cave Dwelling wasn't even located here, but rather in a Fourth Rank Cave Abode situated beyond Yao Guang Immortal City. He would only visit the Sun family when business necessitated, appearing alongside Du Mengyun.
It wasn't as if Hong He offered no contribution, however.
A significant number of the Sun family’s ventures with the Five Elements Sect were successfully brokered through his efforts.
Each time the main caravan of the Five Elements Commerce Association traversed the Ruins, Yue Zutao and his subordinates in charge made it a point to halt in Yao Guang Immortal City specifically to convene with Hong He.
It was largely due to this arrangement that the elixirs Du Mengyun desired from Danxia Pavilion were, for the most part, attainable.
Under these prevailing circumstances, Du Mengyun harbored the sentiment that her husband, Hong He, was a rather capable individual.
Yet, on a certain day, she stumbled upon a terrifying revelation.
The distinct traces of the Devouring Sea Demonic Art that Hong He had been cultivating began to subtly fade, as if its demonic essence was gradually transforming into a more righteous cultivation path.
Confronted with this perplexing development, and after observing for several decades, she finally approached Hong He directly one day to seek an explanation.
Hong He offered no concealment, stating that this transformation was due to the Yuanming Cultivation method, which Chen Mobai had ingeniously improved.
The origin of the Devouring Sea Demonic Art could be traced back to the Nine Abyss Demon Sect’s Nine Abysses and Nine Nether Swallowing Sea Technique. This latter technique, in turn, was derived by the Sea-devouring Devil Monarch from the profound Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture.
After setting aside the Five Elements Immortal Scripture, Chen Mobai recognized that Deity Transformation Techniques possessed an excessively high cultivation barrier. Consequently, he employed the Law of the Five Tones to adapt them into more accessible, simplified Five Elements Cultivation Techniques.
This Yuanming Cultivation stood as the simplified iteration of the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture, capable of cultivation up to the Nascent Soul Complete stage at its apex. Furthermore, it integrated the Immortal Gate’s Spirit Root Enhancement Technique, ensuring that as one's cultivation realm ascended, their Water Spirit Root would correspondingly strengthen.
Should one possess ample opportunities, manage to attain Immortal Spirit Roots, and perfect their Innate Essence Qi, they could then transition directly to cultivating the original version of the Five Elements Immortal Scripture from the Longevity Sect, thereby embarking on the path toward Divinity Transformation.
