I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2747 - 1266:

A deep-seated hatred from his past, which Chen Mobai perceived as remarkably trivial, proved difficult for him to fully accept.

"So, this matter is truly the reason!" Chen Mobai expressed a degree of surprise upon hearing the explanation.

He had previously theorized that the Central Demonic Path Lord and Ming Zun, two formidable figures at the Deity Transformation stage of the Demon Dao, had arrived at the Five Elements Sect with a grand, clandestine agenda, perhaps aiming to dismantle the Eastern Continent's Righteous Dao.

"My primary objective was to ascertain the truth behind the elimination of the Ghost Fetus years ago and to retrieve my Evil Spirit Disk. With it, I can establish contact with the Netherworld Mansion and, leveraging the might of the Nine Ghost Mother’s Sons, break free from the Black Fly Demon God’s Dao mark control..." Tu Ming continued, echoing Chen Mobai's words, his true intention being to stall for time. He harbored a faint hope of discovering an escape route from the current Great Formation or of prolonging the situation until the Central Demonic Path Lord and True Lord Tianling sensed something amiss and intervened.

Despite the slim odds of the latter scenario, it represented the only recourse Tu Ming possessed at that critical juncture.

"Netherworld Mansion? What connection does it have to the Evil Spirit Disk?" Chen Mobai inquired, intrigued by the mention of an unfamiliar location.

After all, the Evil Spirit Disk was currently in his possession.

"The Netherworld Mansion serves as the residence of the Ghost Mother within the Netherworld, situated in its deepest reaches. Following the Ghost Mother's demise, stewardship fell to the Nine Ghost Mother’s Sons. In my youth, afflicted by a grave illness and on the brink of death, my soul traversed into the Underworld. However, due to my soul’s resonance with the Huangquan Yin Qi, I was guided by the Netherworld Mansion to meet the Master of the Nether Dragon. This entity bestowed upon me a Resurrection Talisman and the Evil Spirit Disk, enabling my return to the realm of the living."

"From that point onward, I began to perceive the Yellow Springs Path, along with various yin fiends and lingering spirits within the Living World. Capitalizing on this unique aptitude, I joined the Tongyou Demon Sect, diligently practiced the Netherworld Scripture, ascended through its ranks, and ultimately attained the position of Eastern Demonic Path Lord."

"Contained within the Evil Spirit Disk is the formidable power of the Nine Ghost Mother’s Sons. I had pledged that upon unifying the Eastern Continent, I would immediately manifest the Yellow Springs Path, permitting their descent. Furthermore, in a formal sense, I am considered a disciple of the Netherworld Mansion, awaiting the culmination of this grand undertaking before assuming dominion over the Yin and Yang Realms, thereby controlling the very essence of life and death..."

Tu Ming commenced his narrative from the pivotal moment of his childhood opportunity, elaborating extensively on his aspirations and ambitions. Chen Mobai listened intently, offering occasional nods of understanding and interjecting at intervals to seek further clarification.

"Precisely who are the Nine Ghost Mother’s Sons? And what is the extent of their Cultivation Level?"

This line of questioning presented a slight quandary for Tu Ming, as his encounters with the Nether Dragon had been infrequent. Beyond his childhood meeting, the only other instance occurred when he was cultivating the Netherworld Scripture to form his Primordial Spirit. During these encounters, he could only discern the Nether Dragon’s pair of blood-red, profound eyes, sensing its immeasurably vast form as though it encompassed the entirety of the Netherworld Mansion.

"The might of the Nether Dragon Master likely surpasses the Cultivating Void stage. When I achieved Primordial Spirit formation and explored the Netherworld Mansion, I chanced upon a supreme Deity Transformation cultivator from the Tianhe Realm, who was verging on the Void Refining Realm. This individual sought the Ascension Platform but was, without the slightest resistance, consumed by the Nether Dragon Master."

Tu Ming's revelation prompted a moment of quiet contemplation for Chen Mobai.

Should their power exceed Void Refining, it would logically align with the Harmonization realm.

Given the nature of the Netherworld Mansion, it seemed highly probable that such Harmonization would involve the Great Dao of Death.

However, it was evident that the Nine Ghost Mother’s Sons were not solely at the Harmonization level. Moreover, when the Ghost Mother had returned to the Eastern Continent upon being summoned, her Cultivation was merely at the Void Refining stage.

Reflecting on these points, Chen Mobai found Tu Ming's account to be somewhat lacking in credibility.

Nevertheless, one specific aspect warranted particular attention.

That is, the Evil Spirit Disk, functioning as a Dao mark of the Nine Ghost Mother’s Sons, presented a potential peril within the environs of the Five Elements Sect.

It appeared more prudent to secure it within the Purple Cloud Universe.

When the critical juncture for reassembling the Six Paths of Reincarnation approaches in the future, he could then deliberate on the matter of its retrieval.

"Fellow Daoist, it appears there's been some misunderstanding between us. If you're amenable to offering the Hell Disk and refining this Talisman, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones. What do you say to such an arrangement?" Chen Mobai initiated the discussion, revealing the true intent behind bringing Tu Ming here and causing a Primordial Demon Talisman to materialize in his right palm.

Tu Ming was not only marked by the Black Fly Demon God but also bore the indelible imprint of the Nine Ghost Mother's Sons.

Had he been the sole individual to refine this Primordial Demon Talisman, he could have ensnared entities far more significant than the Central Demonic Path Lord, yielding a hundredfold return.

With this understanding, Chen Mobai was inclined to spare his life.

"What purpose does this Talisman serve?" Tu Ming inquired, his gaze fixed on the intricately patterned Talisman Chen Mobai held. A sudden chill coursed through him, an inexplicable urge to refine it on the spot, compelling him to ask with a hint of trepidation.

"Given the existing animosity between us, and to ensure you cease to pester me in the future, I specifically acquired this Primordial Talisman from my Sect’s ancient legacy. Once you refine it, you will be forever barred from becoming my adversary..." Chen Mobai offered a concise explanation of its effects, though he deliberately omitted certain details.

Tu Ming acknowledged this point internally, yet under the prevailing circumstances, he felt cornered, with no viable alternatives.

After all, he was trapped within Chen Mobai's Formation, rendering both the Netherworld Mansion's Gate and his Devil Power useless for escape.

Furthermore, placing any hope on the Central Demonic Path Lord or True Lord Tianling was clearly out of the question.

Regardless of how malevolent this Talisman might be, Tu Ming's immediate priority was survival.

His thoughts turned towards finding a way out of the Grand Formation.

In the worst-case scenario, he reasoned, he could always find another Ghost Fetus to refine in the future. Surely, reincarnation would not nullify the Talisman’s binding effect?

"The Hell Disk houses the consciousness of a Demon God and is already intricately linked to my Heart and Mind. Even if I were to bestow it upon you, if you cannot subdue it, it will inevitably return to me in due course..."

Tu Ming attempted to negotiate further, recognizing the Hell Disk as a Sixth Rank Magic Treasure, vital for his dealings with the Central Demonic Path Lord and True Lord Tianling. Its loss would dismantle the basis of his cooperation with them, potentially leading to immediate conflict upon their encounter.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I can indeed suppress it. Should the need arise, I can even dispatch it to the Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest."

Chen Mobai was unconcerned about the Hell Disk itself, as it did not align with his own cultivation techniques. He merely perceived that Tu Ming was incurring a loss and might recklessly enhance his strength using this Magic Treasure, potentially transforming directly into the Black Fly Demon God’s physical Dao mark. The true might of the Black Fly Demon God remained unknown; if it proved excessively potent, Chen Mobai’s Nascent Soul stage cultivation, even when amplified by the Primordial Demon Talisman, might prove insufficient.

Therefore, leaving the Hell Disk behind would serve to impede Tu Ming's power escalation, allowing Chen Mobai’s own Cultivation Level to advance and expand his capacity to act.

"I implore you to uphold your promise, Fellow Daoist."

In his desperation to survive, Tu Ming reluctantly relinquished the Hell Disk before accepting and immediately commencing the refinement of the Primordial Demon Talisman offered by Chen Mobai.

Upon witnessing this, Chen Mobai felt the nascent connection forming between the Primordial Demon Talisman and Tu Ming. A smile graced his lips: "Magnificent, truly splendid! Fellow Daoist demonstrates remarkable alacrity. However, to ensure you never again target my disciples, I require an additional oath..."

Tu Ming, now possessing a significantly diminished capacity to resist Chen Mobai, found himself compelled to acquiesce to his every demand.

After Tu Ming swore an oath never to target the Five Elements Sect, the atmosphere between them instantly shifted to one of amicable accord. Chen Mobai even sent a mental message to Luo Yixuan, requesting her to prepare some tea.

Following this, Chen Mobai inquired about matters pertaining to the Central Demonic Path Lord. Tu Ming, without reservation, disclosed that he had been persuaded by the Path Lord to infiltrate the Five Elements Sect. However, details regarding their alliance with True Lord Tianling were bound by his Dao Heart Oath, thus Tu Ming refrained from revealing such information.

"He suffered losses here, having lost several Heart Demon Avatars, yet he still dispatched you to your potential demise. Truly, his actions disregard all ethical boundaries..."

As Chen Mobai and Tu Ming were engaged in their discussion concerning the Central Demonic Path Lord, Luo Yixuan arrived, bearing the tea set.

"Greetings, Master!"

"Mm." After accepting the tea from Luo Yixuan, Chen Mobai gestured towards Tu Ming, whose appearance was now barely recognizable, stating: "This is Fellow Daoist Ming Zun from the Tongyou Demon Sect."
