I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2329 - 1054: Allocation of Nascent Soul Advancement Resources (Part 4)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
The distribution plan for the Deity Transformation treasures has finally been established.
"You are all aware that the adversary we face in the upcoming expansion war possesses immense power. They will likely deploy the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon when the conflict begins. Our primary goal is to annihilate the Ming Wang Star with a single strike. If that fails, we must hold the line at the portal to ensure they cannot set foot upon the Earth Element Star."
Following these brief introductory remarks, Qi Yuheng signaled for Chen Mobai to elaborate on the vital specifics.
"Regarding this expansion war, True Monarch Yuheng and I have resolved to release every resource within the Immortal Gate capable of aiding Deity Transformation. These items will be bestowed upon those with the highest compatibility. Our objective is to cultivate more God-Transcending cultivators for the Immortal Gate in the shortest timeframe possible."
"However, there is a crucial point that must be clarified first."
"The Spiritual Energy reserves of the Immortal Gate are finite and cannot sustain a large number of God-Transcending cultivators. Consequently, anyone who achieves a breakthrough this time must depart from the Earth Element Star alongside True Monarch Yuheng or myself once the war is won. This is necessary to leave room for the cultivators of the next generation."
"Should you find this condition unacceptable, you may still utilize the resources of Blooming Moment, but you will be disqualified from receiving the two Divine Natures and the Fruit of Dao’s Rule."
As Chen Mobai concluded his explanation, every Nascent Soul cultivator in attendance nodded their heads in solemn agreement.
Observing their fervent gazes, Chen Mobai and Qi Yuheng shared a nod before the former produced three Deity Transformation resources from his Domain.
"Yunhai, hand me the Heavenly Calculation Bead."
Upon Qi Yuheng’s command, Yunhai Master immediately presented the Rank-5 Heavenly Calculation Bead—the heart of the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation—with great respect.
The bead had been under Qi Yuheng’s protection before being entrusted to Yunhai Master for the restoration of the grand formation.
"Stored within this artifact is the Immortal Technique: Infinity, left behind by Ancestor Qian Xing. When I activate it, the Light of Infinity will shroud each of you as you make contact with the three resources. During that process, Pure Yang and I will judge the compatibility results."
A collective sigh of relief swept through the room following Qi Yuheng’s announcement.
The gathered cultivators had been speculating on how the two True Monarchs would handle the allocation. None had anticipated the involvement of an immortal technique bequeathed by Qian Xing.
Within the Immortal Gate, techniques of the fifth rank are exalted as Immortal Techniques. Infinity was a unique creation of Qian Xing, and he was the sole individual capable of mastering it.
Nevertheless, the group held absolute faith in the efficacy of this Immortal Technique. They trusted that the two True Monarchs would remain unbiased and just in distributing the Deity Transformation resources.
Despite the high stakes, everyone remained seated on their futons, hesitant to be the first to step forward.
"Yuan Xu, you shall begin."
Chen Mobai called him out. Though slightly taken aback, Yuan Xu Master nodded and stood up to approach the Fruit of Dao’s Rule.
Before long, a subtle radiance emanated from the Fruit of Dao’s Rule.
By utilizing the Crown of Heaven and Earth, Chen Mobai tapped into the Immortal Technique: Infinity and swiftly calculated a probability of 1.3%.
This figure was significantly lower than Qian Xing’s previous estimates, likely a consequence of various actions that had skirted the regulations of the Immortal Gate over the preceding decades.
While Yuan Xu looked somewhat flustered by the result, both Chen Mobai and Qi Yuheng maintained stoic expressions.
At their current stage of Cultivation, they no longer viewed rules with the same reverence as before. However, they would still deal decisively with anyone caught violating those rules in their presence.
"Proceed."
Chen Mobai gestured toward the two Divine Natures. Yuan Xu touched them in turn; the Celestial Dragon God’s Divine Nature produced a dim white glow, while the Earth Dragon God’s Divine Nature flared brilliantly, nearly consuming half of his form in light.
Qi Yuheng nodded at the sight. Previously, Qian Xing had noted that while the Divine Natures were ideal for Ying Guanghua, Yuan Xu and Tao Hua were the next best candidates.
With Yuan Xu having paved the way, the remaining Nascent Soul cultivators grew more relaxed. One by one, they stood and were bathed in the glow of the Immortal Technique: Infinity as they tested their affinity with the three Deity Transformation treasures.
When Elder Qingping reached out to the Fruit of Dao’s Rule, the light transformed into intricate lines that climbed up his arm and spread across most of his chest.
In contrast, the two Divine Natures showed absolutely no response to his touch.
This outcome left Elder Qingping looking rather disheartened. He realized that even if he successfully refined the Dao Fruit to reach the God-Transcending stage, there would be no path for further progression.
Yet, having witnessed the horrors of the Death God’s Tribulation, he understood the urgent need for new God-Transcending cultivators and had steeled his resolve.
Noticing the look on Qingping’s face, Chen Mobai sent him a private voice transmission. Upon hearing the message, the Elder’s expression instantly shifted to one of pure delight.
"Come find me once we have concluded here."
After giving instructions to Elder Qingping, Chen Mobai turned his attention to Beiming Master. Unfortunately, not one of the three Deity Transformation resources reacted to him.
Beiming Master was crushed by the lack of response. He cast a desperate look toward Qi Yuheng, who remained entirely unmoved.
Next was the Peach Blossom Sage. As expected, the Earth Dragon God’s Divine Nature shone with an intensity that almost rivaled Yuan Xu Master’s display.
Once the tests were finished, a spark of competition flickered between the Peach Blossom Sage and Yuan Xu. After all, there was only a single resource available for them.
Following her, the Three Extremes Sage could only let out a helpless sigh, much like Beiming Master had done.
Finally, it was Yunhai Master’s turn. Maintaining a composed aura, he touched the items. The Celestial Dragon God’s Divine Nature erupted in a brilliant light, proving him to be the most compatible candidate present.
Both Chen Mobai and Qi Yuheng nodded in satisfaction at this result.
"Yunhai will receive the Celestial Dragon God’s Divine Nature, Yuan Xu is granted the Earth Dragon God’s Divine Nature, and Qingping shall take the Fruit of Dao’s Rule."
As the radiance within the Heavenly Calculation Bead faded, Qi Yuheng promptly declared the distribution of the three Deity Transformation resources.
"This is unjust..."
The words had barely left his mouth when the Peach Blossom Sage stood up in protest. She had, after all, triggered a glow nearly identical to Yuan Xu’s.
"Be silent!"
Qi Yuheng had no intention of arguing. He immediately invoked the Six Imperial Scripture to bind her, freezing her in place like a piece of dead wood, unable to move or speak.
"Yunhai, Yuan Xu, Qingping—if any of you wish to decline these resources, I will provide you the opportunity now."
Qi Yuheng looked at the three chosen cultivators. Yunhai and Yuan Xu shook their heads without hesitation. After a brief moment of thought, Qingping followed suit.
"Once you have claimed the items, Pure Yang will instruct you on the proper refining techniques. Should you face any difficulties, you may seek him out at Wangxian Peak."
Having finished his instructions, Qi Yuheng swept his sleeve and disappeared from his seat. He had only recently entered the final phase of recovering from his injuries and would not have appeared if not for Chen Mobai’s personal request and the gravity of the situation.
"Three Extremes Sage, please see the Peach Blossom Sage back to Jumang Academy. Use this Daoist Talisman Paper to release her from the restriction."
After Qi Yuheng’s departure, Chen Mobai passed a Talisman to the Three Extremes Sage. Although the Sage had not received one of the three primary resources, the possibility of reaching Deity Transformation through Blooming Moment remained.
The Three Extremes Sage understood perfectly why Yuan Xu had been chosen over the Peach Blossom Sage for the Earth Dragon God’s Divine Nature. Beyond the specific reasons regarding the Jumang Lineage, it was because Yuan Xu was a member of the Patching Heaven Lineage.
Ancestor Qian Xing had given his life during the Death God’s Tribulation, and it was only right that his legacy benefited his own disciples. Had the resource been awarded to Peach Blossom, it might cause future cultivators to hesitate before making similar sacrifices for the Immortal Gate.
As night fell over Gathering-Immortals Peak, Chen Mobai began to teach the secret techniques of the Yi Yuan Dao Palace to Elder Qingping.
"This is the specialized method of the Dan Ding Sect for the refinement of a Dao Fruit..."
