I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2734 - 1260: Heart Demon Great Dao
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
While Chen Mobai pondered summoning Du Mengyun to make inquiries about the Incarnation Demon Technique, word of the Heavenly Calamity Frost Disaster Saber reached his awareness.
Possessing knowledge of these Outer Heaven Demon Treasures surpassing that of disciples like Liu Wenbo, he understood their significance.
Upon acquiring such a Demon Treasure, even top experts of the Righteous Path, such as the Taixu Immortal, had endured immense hardship, only managing to recover their losses through the Treasure of Dao belonging to the Taixu True King.
The sheer might of a sixth-level peak magic artifact could be inferred by recalling the old Flood Dragon.
With the Sea Suppressing Bead encircling its head, numerous Deity Transformation cultivators from the Eastern Continent's Righteous Dao found themselves powerless against it until Chen Mobai, utilizing his Law Domain to isolate the Mysterious Sea and leveraging the attribute counter of the Primordial Clock, ultimately managed to slay the beast.
Indeed, Chen Mobai's ascent to becoming the foremost figure in the East Continent was substantially bolstered by the formidable power of magic artifacts.
Wen Buyue had yet to achieve Divinity Transformation. Consequently, even with the Demon Treasure in his possession, he could not possibly unleash its true capabilities. If this looming threat could be neutralized in advance, it would undoubtedly serve the best interests of the Eastern Continent Righteous Dao.
Therefore, upon receiving this critical intelligence, Chen Mobai promptly alerted the other Three Great Sacred Lands.
This action prompted a degree of surprise from Dustless True Monarch and his contemporaries.
Their astonishment stemmed not from Wen Buyue successfully identifying with the Demon Treasure, but rather from Chen Mobai's unexpected decision not to claim the Heavenly Calamity Frost Disaster Saber for his own personal use.
The cultivators inhabiting the Tianhe Realm commonly adhered to the philosophy that 'righteousness in application dictates its nature,' leading many to believe they could refine and subjugate Demon Dao Artifacts.
Regardless of its demonic origins, it remained a peerless sixth-rank peak magic artifact.
It was noteworthy that artifacts such as the Tongtian Refining Road Tower of the Nine Heavens Morality Sect and the Tai Peacekeeping Sword were of a lesser caliber compared to this Demon Treasure.
Had Dustless True Monarch or others been the recipients of this intel, they would have immediately marshaled their respective sect's forces to pursue and eliminate Wen Buyue, securing the Heavenly Calamity Frost Disaster Saber.
Only if they found themselves utterly incapable of refining it would they then explore alternative courses of action.
Chen Mobai's immediate dissemination of this information, however, stood in stark contrast.
This gesture evoked a sense of chagrin among Dustless True Monarch and the rest.
They mused, 'It is no wonder he cultivates the Saintly Virtue Great Dao; his character is truly of an elevated standard.'
Chen Mobai had originally intended to distribute this intelligence to all affiliated factions within the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance. However, Dustless True Monarch and the others intervened, asserting that the duty of demon eradication and safeguarding the Dao fell primarily upon the shoulders of the Holy Lands. They reasoned that since Wen Buyue was already a Nascent Soul expert and had now acquired a Demon Treasure, only cultivators at the Divinity Transformation stage could guarantee a successful resolution. To prevent unintended casualties, they proposed that senior figures like themselves should undertake the mission.
Confronted with a sixth-level peak Demon Treasure, the Deity Transformation cultivators of the Eastern Continent's Holy Lands also harbored significant covetous desires.
Even if they could not personally refine it, delivering it to Central State could secure substantial favor with the Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest.
Furthermore, the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, with its numerous branch sects spread across the Five Continents, received direct directives from the Taixu Immortal to address Demon Treasures forthwith. Should they encounter insurmountable difficulties, they were authorized to notify the Central State Headquarters.
Consequently, following Chen Mobai's revelation, Deity Transformation True Monarchs Da Kong and Dustless immediately set out to track Wen Buyue's movements.
The Nine Heavens Morality Sect, preoccupied with the Disk of Life and Death, did not involve themselves in this particular affair. Nevertheless, they extended their profound gratitude for Chen Mobai's magnanimous gesture.
Chen Mobai was not entirely indifferent to the allure of the sixth-level Demon Treasure. However, he understood that artifacts of such a profound rank were intrinsically fused with their corresponding Great Dao, essentially representing crystallizations of the Dao itself. A cultivator whose own path diverged would, at best, only be able to harness its superficial attributes.
Given that his own foundational cultivation was rooted in Pure Yang, it was fundamentally impractical for him to abandon his current cultivation path and transition to the Jade Mirror Demon Sect's techniques solely for the acquisition of a Heavenly Calamity Frost Disaster Saber.
Upon this realization, Chen Mobai's personal desire for the artifact completely dissipated.
His primary motivation for sharing this information with the Eastern Continent Holy Lands was his existing need to confer with Du Mengyun. In exchange for this favor, he offered this valuable piece of intel.
Ironically, just as he concluded his arrangements concerning Wen Buyue, he received intelligence that Du Mengyun had absconded.
This news was conveyed by Hong He.
However, this development prompted Chen Mobai to surmise that the Central Demonic Path Lord might already be present within the Eastern Continent, potentially even within the dominion of the Five Elements Sect.
This unnerving revelation cast a shadow of grave concern across Chen Mobai's countenance.
Despite the belief that the Pure Yang Scroll granted him unparalleled defense against the demon world, Chen Mobai acknowledged that facing the foremost powerhouse of the Tianhe Realm's demon path, particularly one wielding two formidable Demon Treasures, marked perhaps the most challenging adversary encountered thus far in his cultivation journey.
Under these grave circumstances, Chen Mobai resolved to exhaust every possible avenue to enhance his prospects of victory.
His initial step was the acquisition of crucial intelligence.
He materialized instantaneously within Yao Guang Immortal City.
"Greetings, Honored Ancestor!"
Upon witnessing Chen Mobai's sudden appearance from seemingly nowhere, Hong He experienced profound shock and executed a respectful, grand salutation.
"Disclose all that you know," Chen Mobai commanded.
Hong He complied, detailing everything he had observed and the information imparted by Du Mengyun.
"Does the Incarnation Demon Technique truly impose such stringent hierarchical limitations?" Chen Mobai inquired, a degree of surprise evident in his voice.
It was undeniable that the demonic cultivation techniques of the Tianhe Realm excelled in their capacity for oppression and control.
However, he quickly recollected his own Primordial Demon Talisman, recognizing it as a more sophisticated method of demonic subjugation, which brought a hint of self-consciousness.
Hong He responded, "Honored Ancestor, that encompasses all the knowledge I possess. For more intricate details, it may be necessary to consult Senior Sister Du."
"In that event, let us seek her insights," Chen Mobai declared.
This statement left Hong He utterly flabbergasted, his jaw agape in astonishment.
At that precise moment, Chen Mobai, clad in his Fire Spirit Robe, unfurled his sleeve with a grand sweep. The very fabric of the void tore open, as if revealing a gateway to another realm, through which Du Mengyun gazed upward, her expression filled with dread.
