I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2336: 1056: Seven Nascent Soul Cultivators Assemble

Without a moment's delay upon hearing the news, Zhou Wangshen produced his Heavenly Communication Device to notify Zhou Shengqing. Though he possessed a degree of pride, he was well aware that only a Nascent Soul cultivator could effectively counter another of that rank.

He viewed Chen Mobai as his ultimate role model, often recalling the man's advice: when faced with an insurmountable foe, the wisest course of action is to preserve one's life and retreat while awaiting reinforcements. Furthermore, with the Five Elements Sect currently boasting numerous Nascent Soul experts, Zhou Wangshen saw no reason for a late Core Formation stage cultivator like himself to throw his life away needlessly.

“Escort the sect’s core disciples and retreat toward Stormy Immortal City above Yun Meng Ze. Your junior brother, the sect leader, is currently in secluded cultivation at the adjacent Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion; no intruder would be foolish enough to venture there. As for this Nascent Soul cultivator who has trespassed into Five Elements Sect territory without notice, we shall deal with them once fellow disciple Mo joins us,” Zhou Shengqing commanded, prioritizing Zhou Wangshen’s safety above all else.

“By your command, Ancestor!” With Zhou Shengqing’s blessing, Zhou Wangshen’s concerns evaporated, and he immediately initiated a tactical withdrawal.

Simultaneously, Zhou Shengqing triggered the highest-level Heavenly Communication Device of the Five Elements Sect, a specialized channel capable of alerting every Nascent Soul cultivator within the sect. “…It is highly probable that a Demon Cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage has moved into East Wu…”

Zhou Shengqing shared his theory, reasoning that aside from the Barren Sea Demon Race, the only entities with ties to East Wu were the Myriad Stars Alliance or the Demon Path factions that had previously conspired with the Island of Ten Thousand Immortals. The Myriad Stars Alliance had already transformed into an ally of the Five Elements Sea Commerce under the guidance of Yuan Chiye and Qi Rui in recent years.

Meanwhile, the Barren Sea Demon Race had become little more than a pack of stray dogs. Following Chen Mobai’s total annihilation of a million demonic beasts in East Wu, they had been hunted through the Desolate Sea by the Myriad Stars Alliance, eventually fleeing toward the Mysterious Sea for sanctuary. This left a rogue Demon Cultivator as the only logical culprit.

“I have recently attained mastery over Sword Intent and require a worthy foe to sharpen my techniques…” Within the communication channel, Mo Douguang spoke up immediately, eager to engage the enemy.

“If we are dealing with a Demon Cultivator of the Nascent Soul rank, we must be cautious of their treacherous nature and poisonous arts. My Primordial True Qi is perfectly suited to suppress such filth. I shall accompany Uncle Mo on this excursion,” Chen Lingming added. Having spent years in secluded cultivation within the Eastern Wilderness, he had perfected the various Five Elements Spells transmitted by Chen Mobai. Though he felt his prowess had surged, the enduring peace within the Five Elements Sect meant he lacked live combat experience. Had he been in the East Land, sparring partners would have been plentiful.

In contrast, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Five Elements Sect were far too courteous with one another. Their sparring sessions lacked the necessary edge of killing intent, something Chen Lingming—hailing from the East Land—found difficult to adjust to.

“My current batch of medicinal pils is sealed; I will join the group as well,” Qing Nu suddenly announced. Once she spoke, the remaining Nascent Soul cultivators, who had been hesitating, quickly pledged their participation. This surge of enthusiasm wasn't born from a fear for Qing Nu’s safety, but rather a realization that if the sect leader’s wife was taking the field, they would look terribly lazy if they didn't follow suit when the sect leader eventually emerged from seclusion.

Aside from Yin Qingmei and Su Ziluo, even Zhou Ye, who was stationed at the Eastern Yi border, arrived via the large-scale Transmission Array. Soon, the collective pressure of seven Nascent Soul auras from the Five Elements Sect gathered at Northern Abyss City, sending the local population into a state of sheer panic.

The city was in an uproar. Never in the history of Northern Abyss City had such a concentrated force of power been witnessed. Was a great war beginning? Was the time finally here to crush Golden Crow Immortal City and bring the Three Regions of the Eastern Continent Frontier under a single banner?

This was the immediate thought of many residents. For years, the Five Elements Sect had stood as the undisputed hegemon of the Eastern Continent, second only to the Holy Lands. Many even viewed the Five Elements Sect and the Yi Yuan Dao Palace as a singular entity, effectively making the sect a Holy Land in its own right.

This "Holy Land" currently governed the vast majority of the three frontier regions, with only the territory surrounding Golden Crow Immortal City and the Mysterious Sea coastline remaining outside their direct control. Many merchant guilds actually hoped the Five Elements Sect would simply wipe out Golden Crow Immortal City. Doing business in Northern Abyss City often required using the Golden Crow Transmission Array, which came with a steep additional tax.

Since the Eastern Yi Bright Mirror Immortal City’s array was constantly backlogged, merchants were often forced to pay the toll at Golden Crow Immortal City to avoid the dangerous trek through the Ruins. While Golden Crow Immortal City had initially declined following the rise of the Five Elements Sect, it had experienced a resurgence lately by bleeding these merchants dry. To recoup their losses, merchants had to raise prices or even establish secondary warehouses within the city itself. Therefore, the destruction of Golden Crow Immortal City would be met with cheers from the commercial sector.

However, much to their surprise, the seven Nascent Soul masters did not march toward Golden Crow. Instead, they utilized the large-scale Transmission Array to depart for East Wu. To aid in the rebuilding of East Wu, the Five Elements Sect had recently commissioned a specialized Transmission Array system from the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, providing a direct link to the region. With Chen Mobai’s significant influence, the logistics had been handled with ease.

“You are to remain here and protect Northern Abyss City,” Qing Nu commanded the Tai Sui Child before they left.

“As you wish, Madam!” the Tai Sui Child replied with deep respect. Having learned from his scripts to call Chen Mobai "Master," it was only natural for him to address Qing Nu as "Madam."
