I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2340 - 1057: Sword Domain: Heaven Cutting_3

A thunderous roar shook the world, accompanied by the mournful cry of a sword as the heavens trembled.

Held mid-air by the Primordial Yang Sword, the blade of the Purple Electric Sword was forced into an upward arc.

This posture signaled its clear defeat.

However, this did not imply that Dao Mie had been bested.

At the critical moment, Chen Mobai realized the Purple Electric Sword was spiraling out of control; it could strike with lethal force but was unable to retreat. To prevent both sides from suffering mutual destruction, he withdrew the Sword Killing Stars and instead reinforced the Purple Electric Sword using the Thousand Swords Dharma Body.

Deprived of the Sword Domain and relying solely on its own power, the Purple Electric Sword was no match for the Primordial Yang Sword.

With a resonant hum!

The Primordial Yang Sword vibrated slightly, and the Purple Electric Sword was sent tumbling backward from the impact of the tip. Its curved blade shivered uncontrollably in the air, emitting a sharp, metallic ring.

[Master...]

The Purple Electric Sword felt a sense of deep shame as it returned to Chen Mobai’s side.

Having ascended to the Fifth Rank Superior Grade after leaving the Washing Sword Pool, it had been brimming with confidence. It believed it could dominate the world, and that even the other three established Fifth Rank Superior flying swords within the Immortal Gate would be unable to withstand its debut.

However, it had engaged in two battles—one against the Death God and now this one—and both had resulted in failure.

This led the Purple Electric Sword to question whether its rank had actually decreased instead of improving.

[Your opponent is your senior, so losing is only natural. Work hard and you will catch up; I will assist you.]

Chen Mobai offered words of comfort. He knew that his current status was largely built upon the foundation provided by the Purple Electric Sword.

Even though he now wielded the superior Primordial Yang Sword, he remained sentimental; in his heart, Purple Electric was still his primary blade.

[Master, you are too kind!]

The Purple Electric Sword Spirit was moved by his words.

Yet, it felt lost on how to bridge the gap between itself and the Primordial Yang Sword.

It felt as though it had reached its limit.

It possessed the Fifth Rank Superior Grade, the Fifth Rank Purple Brilliance Sword Intent, and could even execute the transcendent One Sword Breaks All Laws.

The three milestones Master Qing Shi had set during its forging had all been met; it no longer knew which direction to take.

[In the future, you will follow the Thousand Swords Dharma Body. You can use the Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulation to temper your form, and I will seek out sixth rank spirit materials to forge you into the Immortal Gate’s first sixth rank flying sword.]

Chen Mobai sent this thought to the Purple Electric Sword. The Sword Spirit nodded eagerly, signaling its intent to endure any hardship to reach that goal.

After settling the sword's spirit, Chen Mobai satisfiedly recalled his Second Primeval Spirit and the Primordial Yang Sword.

His Divine Sense had already picked up the presence of the Five Elements Sect members gathered below.

A sudden flash of insight had allowed him to manifest a Sword Domain infused with the Thousand Swords Dharma Body, and he had been completely focused on that breakthrough.

Moments of inspiration are fleeting; if not seized immediately, they might never return.

With the creation of this Sword Domain, Chen Mobai could rightfully claim the title of a peerless sword cultivation genius.

He felt confident that even if Bai Guang were at the same cultivation level, he could use this Sword Domain to completely overwhelm her.

After considering several titles, he named the technique "Heaven Cutting."

This was a gesture of respect to his roots; one must never forget the source of their success.

His current mastery of the sword was deeply rooted in the Longevity Sword Intent of the Heaven Cutting Line.

Beyond the Law of the Five Tones, it was this specific sword intent that allowed him to effortlessly assimilate Bai Guang’s sword will and form the core of his Sword Domain.

Once the area was cleared, Chen Mobai turned into a streak of silver light, teleporting directly before the Five Elements Sect group.

"Greetings, Sect Leader Martial Brother! We congratulate you on your magnificent breakthrough in sword cultivation!"

Zhou Shengqing and the others had been watching closely. When they saw Chen Mobai emerge from thin air, they immediately offered a formal Dao ceremony.

"Senior brothers and nephews, please, there is no need for such ceremony. While I was in Cultivation, I felt the lingering traces of evil power fading here in East Wu and came to investigate. I happened upon a sudden epiphany regarding the mysteries of sword cultivation into Divinity Transformation and felt compelled to practice in the sky..."

As he spoke, Chen Mobai shared a warm smile with Qing Nu, having been away from his wife for some time, and landed by her side.

"Junior Brother, have you truly achieved sword cultivation into Divinity Transformation?"

Even though they had suspected as much, hearing Chen Mobai confirm it left Zhou Shengqing and the others both shocked and elated.

"I have. However, if I truly ascended to Divinity Transformation, the signs of the heavenly tribulation would be impossible to hide."

"I cannot afford to be distracted during such a tribulation, especially with so many enemies plotting against our Five Elements Sect. Therefore, I chose to stop half a step short, merely perfecting the techniques required for the transition."

"I intend to clear away all external threats first—and ideally, obtain the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill—before taking that final step in peace."

The members of the Five Elements Sect looked upon Chen Mobai with awe. Their Sect Leader Martial Brother truly was a genius without equal, having solved the most difficult puzzles of sword cultivation into Divinity Transformation so easily.

Chen Lingming and Su Ziluo looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

Such talent likely surpassed even the founder, Yi Yuan.

"You are right. The Tribulation of Divinity Transformation is terrifying; even a fifth rank formation cannot guarantee safety. Furthermore, the other Holy Lands of the East Land and the Demon Race Royal Courts would be wary of a powerful new sword cultivator reaching Divinity Transformation. We must plan this carefully to ensure no one interferes with your ascension."

Zhou Shengqing, now the most senior member of the sect, spoke with a trace of dazed excitement as he realized the Five Elements Sect was on the verge of becoming a true Holy Land.

A Holy Land!

When he was a student under the Hun Yuan Ancestor, he had often heard of the East Land's power. He remembered the bitterness of the Yi Yuan Dao Palace disciples who were frustrated that they weren't recognized as part of a Holy Land.

Historically, Holy Lands only existed in the East Land.

If the Five Elements Sect in the Eastern Wilderness achieved that status, Zhou Shengqing’s name would be immortalized in history.

With Chen Mobai perfecting the path to Divinity Transformation, the goal was within reach.

Zhou Ye, Mo Douguang, and the others were equally moved by the prospect.

"Ancestor, I have completed the preparations in the East Barbarian regions. We are ready to seize all lands except for the Golden Crow Immortal City. When shall we strike?"

Zhou Ye addressed him with a new level of respect, eager to see the Five Elements Sect unify the three regions of the Eastern Continent's frontier.

"There is no rush. A place like Golden Crow Immortal City isn't worth me drawing my sword just yet."

Chen Mobai shook his head, his gaze shifting toward the distant horizon of the East Land.
