I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2345: 1059:

Observing the Seven Great Nascent Souls of the Five Elements Sect suspended majestically in the sky, Ruan Lilong felt a secret surge of respect for the sect’s reputation as the premier power of the Eastern Continent's frontier.

Lou Xuelong, meanwhile, was paralyzed by sheer astonishment.

He recalled leading the Star Heaven Dao Sect to the Eastern Wilderness for trade summits in the past; back then, the region lacked even a single Nascent Soul cultivator, and those at the Golden Core stage were treated with the highest reverence.

Now, however, the Five Elements Sect boasted a roster of Nascent Soul experts that rivaled his own Star Heaven Dao Sect.

“Greetings to the Shishu and Elders…”

Despite his usual composure, Zhou Wangshen found himself breaking into a cold sweat at the sight of the seven great Nascent Souls gathered around him.

He had never imagined that activating a single talisman would summon such a formidable assembly.

Before he could find the right words, Zhou Shengqing and the other elders pressed their palms together, bowing toward the Sun-Carrying Dragon as it neared Stormy Immortal City.

“We congratulate our Junior Brother Sect Leader. Your spirit beast has triumphed over its tribulation, securing another thousand years of foundation for our Five Elements Sect.”

The onlookers’ eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets upon hearing Zhou Shengqing’s declaration, and they turned their disbelieving gazes toward the city outskirts.

As the Sun-Carrying Dragon drew closer, its true form became clear: a magnificent beast covered in golden scales, possessing a serpentine body, razor-sharp claws, and eyes glowing like fireballs. Its horns were jagged like blades, its whiskers flowed like lethal swords, and its back rose in mountain-like ridges.

As it soared, the massive shadow cast by its body blanketed nearly the entirety of Stormy Immortal City. Its golden eyes, resembling radiant stars, struck terror into the hearts of every cultivator below.

In that moment, they felt as if the very gravity of the earth had intensified; under its celestial gaze, they were rendered completely motionless.

This was... a True Spirit: Yellow Dragon!

Furthermore, this was no mere acquired bloodline refined through Cultivation, but a genuine Innate True Spirit!

Mei Longzheng, utilizing his professional expertise the moment he saw the colossal Yellow Dragon circling the Immortal City, immediately identified its illustrious lineage.

He was not alone in his shock; Ruan Lilong, Lou Xuelong, and the representatives of other major powers in Stormy Immortal City stared upward, unable to process the sight.

Did the Five Elements Sect truly possess such a profound hidden foundation?

Was this a legacy left behind by Yi Yuan True Monarch?

It was no wonder rumors claimed the true orthodoxy of Yi Yuan resided in the Eastern Wilderness!

The legend of Yi Yuan True Monarch, the celebrated cultivator who ascended long ago, was known to all—particularly the tale of him riding a dragon into the heavens, a story revered by every practitioner.

Today, that legendary Yellow Dragon had returned.

And it was willingly acting as a mount for a cultivator.

As the creature descended, the crowd finally spotted the figure perched upon the Yellow Dragon’s back.

Though he looked small compared to the gargantuan True Spirit, every eye was fixed upon him.

He wore a pristine white fairy garment with nine Flame Dragons stitched into the sleeves. His aura was refined and calm, his expression gentle, and his hands were folded behind him, yet he radiated a natural authority that demanded absolute respect.

“Brothers and nephews, you are far too kind. I failed to notify you of my spirit beast’s tribulation beforehand, forcing you all to make this unnecessary journey...”

While speaking, Chen Mobai stepped off the dragon’s back. Using an invisible force, he gently raised the bowing members of the Five Elements Sect to their feet.

“Junior Sect Leader, you are far too modest. This is a monumental occasion. I would gladly make this trip a hundred times over,” Zhou Shengqing replied with a beaming smile.

Looking at the small Dragon Girl behind Chen Mobai, who was still manifesting her True Dragon form, Zhou Shengqing already saw the future glory of the Five Elements Sect. Even after they passed away, this mighty True Spirit would serve as a guardian for eons.

The lifespan of a True Spirit far exceeded that of even a Divinity Transformation cultivator.

Especially a premier Innate True Spirit like the Yellow Dragon.

“Since everyone is gathered, why not join me for some tea?” Chen Mobai invited.

Zhou Shengqing and the others naturally accepted the offer.

“Nephews, the waters where the tribulation took place are littered with the remains of aquatic beasts. Please send a team to clear them so the ecology of Yun Meng Ze isn't damaged,” Chen Mobai said kindly to Zhou Wangshen and Ban Zhaodan.

Ruan Lilong watched him, unable to find any trace of the "Death God of the Eastern Wilderness"—the man who had supposedly wiped out East Wu and slaughtered a million demons of the Desolate Sea.

“As you command, Sect Leader!”

The two Golden Core cultivators bowed. Ban Zhaodan immediately took charge, leading disciples from the Spirit Beast Department out of Stormy Immortal City.

Once Chen Mobai and the Nascent Soul elders retired to the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, the city exploded into frantic conversation regarding the day's events.

King Zhou, having received Chen Mobai’s tacit approval, did nothing to suppress the rumors.

Word quickly spread that the entity who had survived the Heavenly Tribulation was a True Spirit Yellow Dragon.

Recalling the myths of Yi Yuan True Monarch ascending with a dragon, it became impossible for anyone to deny that the Five Elements Sect was the true successor of the Yi Yuan Orthodoxy.

After all, even the Yi Yuan Dao Palace hadn't seen a Yellow Dragon in millennia.

The consensus was that Yi Yuan True Monarch must have foreseen the Dao Palace’s eventual decline and placed his true inheritance in his birthplace, the Eastern Wilderness.

By possessing the Yellow Dragon, Chen Guixian clearly held a more legitimate claim to the orthodoxy than the Dao Palace itself.

This realization finally solved the puzzle of how the Five Elements Sect had transformed into a superpower within the desolate Eastern Wilderness.

Clearly, the ascended Yi Yuan True Monarch had bestowed his greatest treasures upon them.

Mei Longzheng sat in a private suite at the Sky Meal Building, sipping premium spiritual wine from the South Mountain Shop, his brow furrowed with inner turmoil.

The revelation of the Five Elements Sect owning a True Spirit Yellow Dragon was seismic.

For those of the Beast Commanding Sect, such a high-tier spirit beast was the missing key for their techniques to reach the Divinity Transformation stage.

Yet, Mei Longzheng hesitated to report this back to his sect.

After all, he had just bought a house here.

...

Inside the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion.

After a brief tea session, Zhou Shengqing and the others politely took their leave.

Knowing Chen Mobai had just ended a long seclusion and that they had already spoken in East Wu, they decided to leave the couple some private time.

“Your progress toward Spirit Transformation has been incredibly swift; it seems the Shocking God Sonata at the Immortal Gate provided you with immense benefits.”

Chen Mobai had sent the little Dragon Girl to rest within the Spiritual Vein Core. After exchanging a few words with Qing Nu, she asked about his experiences over the recent years.

“Regrettably, while the Shocking God Sonata revealed the path to Spirit Transformation, it also triggered a disaster for the Immortal Gate. Ancestor Qian Xing even had to give up a millennium of his cultivation because of it...”

Chen Mobai sighed as he described the Death God’s Tribulation, leaving Qing Nu visibly shaken.

“I had no idea the Immortal Gate’s next war would be so brutal... You...”

Qing Nu trailed off, but Chen Mobai understood her unspoken concern.

“The Immortal Gate is my home. Unless there is absolutely no other choice, I will never desert it to hide in the Tianhe Realm.”

Hearing his resolute tone, Qing Nu felt relieved despite her worry. This was the Chen Mobai she knew.

A man of courage and integrity.

“Then we must accelerate your breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation stage. There are seven years left before we depart for the Desolate Sea. Ming’er is working hard at the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple; she should reach the Fourth Rank Peak by then to perform the Blooming Moment. How is your progress with the Innate Pure Yang Qi?”

Qing Nu began calculating their resources, checking the status of his main body’s cultivation.

“Normally, it would take until the Desolate Sea opens to reach completion. However, I found a new opportunity at the Immortal Gate. My divine sense broke through to Spirit Transformation first, allowing me to form a second primordial spirit. With its help, I should finish in two or three years...”

Chen Mobai kept nothing from Qing Nu. As he spoke, he manifested the Primordial Yang Treasure Beads behind his head, revealing the second primordial spirit.

“I feel like I should be shocked, but with your talent, it somehow seems expected.”

Qing Nu’s reaction was surprisingly composed.

Chen Mobai’s reputation as a peerless genius was simply too well-established.

Even with aid from the Tianhe Realm, reaching this level in under two centuries was an unparalleled feat.

“Once the Innate Pure Yang Qi is fully gathered, I can take that final step. Even before I officially reach Spirit Transformation, the combined power of two Spirit Transformation-level bodies will be enough to rule the Eastern Wilderness.”

“There is one more thing I should mention.”

“It concerns Jing’er...”
