I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2273 - 1040:

It was a stroke of luck that he had briefed Fu Zongjue ahead of time. Acting under Fu Zongjue's direct supervision and management, every disciple stationed at Giant Tree Ridge had been moved into a specially designed spiritual energy calming zone.

This measure was originally established by Chen Mobai to ensure that the fluctuations caused by high-level cultivators breaking through their realms would not disturb or harm disciples currently in seclusion.

Once Chen Mobai utilized the Void Illusion to contact Fu Zongjue, he scanned the entirety of Giant Tree Ridge with his immense Divine Sense. During this sweep, he indeed discovered about a dozen cultivators remaining outside the designated safe area.

Whether the Sect had failed to reach them or they had their own reasons for staying behind was unclear, so Chen Mobai took the initiative to draw symbols in the air, manifesting a spiritual energy calming area directly around them.

"Do not step outside the boundaries of this circle!"

After finishing the symbols, Chen Mobai sent a mental transmission to these twelve or so disciples. He gave them this single warning; if they chose to ignore it and crossed the line, they would have only themselves to blame for the consequences.

With all distractions cleared, Chen Mobai fully activated the Response Earth Spirit realm, immersing his consciousness into the advancement process of the Everlife Wood.

Since the presence of Qing Emperor’s Longevity True Qi was vital during this transformation, it was necessary for him to maintain a state of co-cultivation with Yin Qingmei.

He produced three vials of Rank-4 Water of Ten Thousand Transformations and, bypassing any dilution, poured the liquid directly onto the Everlife Wood's roots beneath him.

Yin Qingmei’s jaw dropped as she witnessed this sight.

She recalled her own Jade Phoenix Tree; even after absorbing the portion of Water of Ten Thousand Transformations provided by Qing Nu, it had taken several years of her True Qi nurturing and careful refinement to fully process it.

Yet here was Chen Mobai, dumping three entire tubes at once, which served as nothing more than a mere catalyst for this Everlife Wood.

One could only conclude that the disparity between different spirit trees was truly staggering.

Through their co-cultivation bond, Yin Qingmei used Chen Mobai as a bridge to perceive the Everlife Wood as it underwent its sublimation and metamorphosis.

However, the energy stored within the tree over millennia was simply too vast. The amount of Qing Emperor’s Longevity True Qi she provided was relatively minuscule, meaning that while some sections were evolving, the majority of the tree remained in a dormant state.

At the current rate, it might take another five or six years before the Everlife Wood finished its transformation and truly began its advancement.

Chen Mobai, however, did not have the luxury of waiting that long.

The Immortal Gate was already making preparations for the Shocking God Sonata very soon.

At that moment, while still in the co-cultivation state, Chen Mobai noticed that Yin Qingmei had started to shake slightly, her complexion draining of color.

These were clear symptoms that her True Qi was being depleted too rapidly.

"Remember this sensation. In the future, you should attempt to channel more of your True Qi into the Everlife Wood to establish a communion with it."

To prevent Yin Qingmei from damaging her essence, Chen Mobai stopped drawing upon her True Qi and instead began guiding her on how to commune with the Everlife Wood.

According to the theories of the Immortal Gate, a cultivator can possess more than one Lifebound object, provided their essence and Divine Sense are sufficiently powerful.

Even though Yin Qingmei was already bonded to the Jade Phoenix Tree, she could still strive to make the Everlife Wood her second Lifebound Spirit Plant.

After all, historical records suggested that Heavenly Sovereigns once utilized Azure Dragon Wood to carry the Dao Fruit.

"Yes, foster father."

Yin Qingmei nodded obediently, eagerly soaking in the experience of communing with the ancient Everlife Wood.

Chen Mobai maintained the co-cultivation until the spiritual veins of Giant Tree Ridge ceased their vibrations. Once the Everlife Wood beneath his feet stopped its violent trembling and settled into a calm state, he finally released her virtual right hand.

Over the subsequent two years, he spent his time accumulating Innate Pure Yang Qi and mentoring Yin Qingmei through their co-cultivation sessions.

He also took this window of time to attempt the cultivation of the Longevity Technique.

However, the transition from the Longevity Dao Body to the Longevity Technique was a feat no one in the Five Elements Sect had ever accomplished. Furthermore, many vital components of the technique required personal discovery and resolution, making his progress nearly non-existent.

Unwilling to engage in such a futile waste of time, Chen Mobai decided to abandon the attempt entirely.

Then, on a certain day, he opened his eyes and broke the co-cultivation bond with Yin Qingmei.

Word had arrived from the Immortal Gate: the Shocking God Sonata was ready to begin.
