I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2272 - 1040_3

Chen Mobai issued a further command, proposing to Yin Qingmei that they attempt to enlighten the Everlife Wood through the Practice Together Technique. Although his theoretical mastery of the method was flawless, he could not provide an absolute guarantee of its success.

Furthermore, he was uncertain what phenomena might be triggered when the Everlife Wood evolved into Azure Dragon Wood. To ensure safety, he deemed it wise to have the Sect disciples remain on high alert throughout this process.

"I will handle it."

Fu Zongjue gave a series of nods before departing immediately for Shenmu Immortal City to organize the necessary arrangements.

Within the arena, Chen Mobai and Yin Qingmei ascended together toward the canopy of the Everlife Wood. Nestled there was a small wooden residence he had constructed during his earlier days of Cultivation.

"Take your seat over there."

The structure was supported by two massive boughs, and at the edge of these branches sat a platform resembling a meditation cushion. Chen Mobai indicated this spot.

Yin Qingmei nodded softly, her form drifting gracefully onto the cushion.

Chen Mobai settled onto a different branch, positioning himself cross-legged in mid-air directly across from her.

"You should already be acquainted with the Practice Together Technique..."

Once Chen Mobai finished detailing the specifics, Yin Qingmei grasped his strategy and gave a gentle nod of understanding.

Without further delay, the pair initiated their first attempt.

Suspending themselves in the air, both raised a hand toward the empty space between them. Utilizing the state of the Practice Together Technique, Chen Mobai began the process by channeling his fire-attribute True Qi into Yin Qingmei’s Meridians.

His True Qi had fully evolved into the Innate variety—vast, majestic, intensely yang, and exceptionally pure. Even with his strict regulation of the flow, the mere entry of this power left Yin Qingmei feeling staggered by its sheer scale.

"Foster Father, your True Qi is far too potent; it is almost more than I can endure."

Yin Qingmei’s startled voice resonated within Chen Mobai’s Sea of Consciousness. While in this shared practice state, they were able to communicate directly through mental thought.

Upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage, she had refined thirty-six strands of Qing Emperor’s Longevity True Qi. Aside from Chen Mobai himself, this represented the most formidable foundation within the Five Elements Sect.

Since stabilizing her cultivation realm, her volume of True Qi had expanded several times over in just a few short years.

However, the moment Chen Mobai’s Innate Pure Yang Qi made contact, her esteemed Qing Emperor’s Longevity True Qi behaved like dry leaves before a searing blade. It was fragile and defenseless, seemingly on the verge of being consumed and transformed into fire.

She estimated that it would take dozens of her own strands to equal the weight of just one of his.

"Stay calm, allow me to lead the way..."

Chen Mobai spoke to reassure her, thinning his Innate Pure Yang Qi into fine threads. These threads began to circulate alongside her own True Qi within her Dantian and Qi Sea, following the natural generative cycle of the Five Elements.

This specific procedure was a hidden Practice Together Technique of the Longevity Sect. Yin Qingmei clenched her teeth, fighting back the instinctive tremors of her heart, and synchronized her Qi rotation with his.

Despite a long hiatus since they last practiced together, their internal rhythm remained perfectly aligned.

This stage demanded a lack of fear and the absence of ego; it required absolute, total trust in the one leading the cycle.

It was clear that Yin Qingmei had achieved such a state.

As their combined True Qi flowed in the Five Elements pattern, Chen Mobai initiated the "Union of Differences." The Everlife Wood beneath them had long been attuned to this secret technique, having already become his lifebound spirit plant.

Under the influence of the shared Qi rotation, Chen Mobai and Yin Qingmei were perceived as a single entity.

Consequently, the moment the Union of Differences was activated, Yin Qingmei felt a strange, symbiotic bond form between herself and the Everlife Wood beneath them.

This sensation was intimately familiar, mirroring her connection with the Jade Phoenix Tree.

In this instant, the Everlife Wood had also become her lifebound spirit plant.

Yin Qingmei’s heart was suddenly flooded with a mix of overwhelming happiness and confusion.

The joy was obvious; she now possessed a second lifebound spirit plant. In this state, she could draw upon the essence of the Everlife Wood, allowing her to advance her Longevity Technique with twice the speed for half the effort.

The confusion stemmed from the fact that she had not expected the Ancient Longevity Sect to possess such a profound and mysterious legacy.

In her mind, the ability for Chen Mobai to guide her through a dual practice and bond her to the Everlife Wood could only be a secret inheritance of the Longevity Sect.

Truly, she still had much to discover.

She realized she could not afford to become arrogant just because she had attained the Nascent Soul stage.

While Yin Qingmei was lost in these thoughts, Chen Mobai was already steering her True Qi back into the heart of the Everlife Wood.

Using her Qing Emperor’s Longevity True Qi as the primary catalyst, he immediately activated the Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth spell.

This legendary technique of the Longevity Sect proved its worth instantly.

The Fourth Rank Peak Everlife Wood, which had stood at Giant Tree Ridge for millennia, began an unprecedented and violent metamorphosis.

Focusing on the point where the Qing Emperor’s Longevity True Qi was being injected, the thick, aged bark started to split. The energy stored within the trunk over countless centuries was sparked by the specialized Qi, transmuting into a much higher grade of Wood Qi.

The process acted like a chain reaction, surging through every part of the Divine Wood.

Accompanied by loud, rhythmic cracking, the Everlife Wood at the center of Giant Tree Ridge suddenly swelled. Its entire girth expanded as brilliant green spiritual light poured from the fissures in its bark. It shone like a massive lantern, causing the spiritual energy of the entire protective formation to tremble.

Chen Mobai, possessing the perception of the Response Earth Spirit Realm, also felt the very Spirit Vein of Giant Tree Ridge begin to shake.

Remembering the warning from the Peach Blossom Sage regarding how the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation could hinder the growth of spirit plants, he decided against using the formation to contain the outburst.
