I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2278 - 1042:

Seated beneath the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree, Chen Mobai gazed at the sword box resting upon his knees, reaching out to stroke it with a gentle touch.

The sword box possessed a blackened, ancient aesthetic, crafted from a unique heat-resistant mystic stone sourced from the Red City Cave Heaven. Its surface was etched with complex patterns that Chen Mobai recognized instantly as a composite talisman designed for spirit gathering, spirit sealing, and heat dissipation.

Encased within was the Primordial Yang Sword.

Under the watchful eye of the Hall of Orthodox Law, the Xianwu Hall had processed the paperwork with maximum efficiency, returning the blade to the Pure Yang Academy.

Because the entire ordeal took place within the Red City Cave Heaven, Chen Mobai had remained there for two additional days.

While reclaiming the Primordial Yang Sword, Chen Mobai also returned the Primordial Yang Treasure Beads to Nangong Xuanyu. He even extended an invitation for the latter to join the Dance Tool Dao Academy to experience the Shocking God Sonata at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.

He reasoned that since they shared the Pure Yang lineage, persuading Nangong Xuanyu to join the Dance Tool Dao Academy would be a meritorious deed, effectively helping him acknowledge his roots and return to the clan.

Even though he had reconciled with Chen Mobai, Nangong Xuanyu remained stubborn, declaring his intention to travel to the West Mystic Cave Heaven to reunite with the Patching Heaven lineage.

Realizing he could not change the man's mind, Chen Mobai took his sword and departed.

As he slid open the sword box, a radiance as brilliant as the dawn erupted, and a wave of warm Yang harmony qi washed over him. This caused his own innate pure Yang qi to become significantly more vibrant.

The Primordial Yang Sword, a legendary top-tier flying sword he had known of since he first began practicing the Pure Yang Scroll, now sat firmly in his grasp.

The blade’s form was a shimmering golden yellow, measuring roughly three feet long and two fingers in width. A circular void at the tip of the blade mimicked the sun, while the hilt was shaped like a blooming golden lotus, appearing both elegant and majestic.

Reaching out with his right hand, Chen Mobai drew the Primordial Yang Sword from its container.

He channeled his innate pure Yang qi, which shared the same origin, into the weapon. The previously still Primordial Yang Sword began to vibrate softly, its body emitting a comforting warmth in response. Deeply moved, Chen Mobai silently began the Sword Practice Incantation, using his true qi to refine the blade.

In a heartbeat, he attained the state of Unity of Man and Sword with the legendary weapon.

The sun-like hole at the blade’s tip flared with a blinding light, causing the temperature within the Yuping Small Realm to spike violently. Had Chen Mobai not utilized his void talisman to establish a protective formation, the entire ecosystem of the small realm might have been devastated.

"Good sword!"

Chen Mobai praised it instinctively. The Primordial Yang Sword was a perfect vessel for his Pure Yang Scroll, willingly submitting to his refinement without requiring "The Union of Differences" or the lure of spirit stones.

Following the initial refinement, a ball of golden light coalesced upon the blade, manifesting as a plump sword spirit with red hair buns. The spirit bowed deeply to Chen Mobai: "Greetings, young master."

"There is no need for such ceremony; you are my senior."

Chen Mobai had not anticipated such politeness from the Primordial Yang Sword Spirit, making the spirit stones he had prepared unnecessary.

"Even though the young master possesses an acquired Pure Yang Body, your foundation is nearly as profound as the master’s was."

The stout Primordial Yang Sword Spirit looked upon Chen Mobai with genuine respect. Having been wielded by many Nascent Soul cultivators at the Pure Yang Academy since the Yuan Yang Ancestor’s departure, the spirit was well-acquainted with the foundations of many experts.

None, however, could compare to Chen Mobai.

"Perhaps it is because I was meticulous when I cultivated the Pure Yang Body, never rushing my breakthroughs just to advance my realm..."

Chen Mobai offered this explanation after hearing the sword spirit's praise.

The primary distinction between the Yuan Yang Ancestor’s revised Pure Yang Scroll and the ancient text was the inclusion of the Pure Yang Body cultivation method. This change lowered the formidable heavenly threshold, making it possible for anyone within the immortal gate to practice it.

All that was required was unwavering diligence.

Chen Mobai was the personification of such effort. He had offset his mediocre spiritual root talent by pushing every single layer of the Pure Yang Body to its absolute limit. Combined with the serendipity of his Wen Dao Foundation Establishment, he had managed to reach a 100-point immortal fire spiritual root.

While the massive reserves of spirit stones from the Tianhe Realm were crucial, Chen Mobai firmly believed his personal perseverance was the deciding factor.

"In the Pure Yang New Volume that the master edited, the progression from one yang to nine yang of the Pure Yang Body does more than just enhance the fire spiritual root; it primarily serves to foster and strengthen the innate true yang within a person."

"Those who are born with their true yang qi at full strength are naturally born Pure Yang Bodies, just like the master."

"Later on, those admitted to the Pure Yang Academy were usually individuals with strong fire spiritual roots or Heavenly Fire Spiritual Roots to ensure they had time to achieve breakthroughs. Consequently, they only needed to cultivate the Pure Yang Body through its first few layers to reach 100 points in their fire spiritual root. This led many to stop their cultivation of the Pure Yang Body out of laziness. It seemed sufficient at the time, but it actually capped their ultimate potential..."

The Primordial Yang Sword Spirit added to Chen Mobai’s thoughts, providing details that were well-documented in the immortal gate's records. The Yuan Yang Ancestor had stressed this point before his transformation.

Yet, throughout the thousands of years of the immortal gate's history, fewer than ten individuals had successfully used the Pure Yang New Volume to achieve Nascent Soul Formation.

Because the Pure Yang Body gained a reputation for being a massive time-sink, those in the immortal gate who chose this Deity Transformation Technique usually already possessed incredibly high fire spiritual roots. They would use the easier early stages of the Pure Yang Body to quickly max out their fire spiritual root at 100 points.

Once that goal was met, they ignored the deeper aspects of the fire spiritual root while cultivating the Pure Yang Body, rushing through the realms to reach the nine suns unite and the acquired Pure Yang Body as fast as possible.
