I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2364 - 1067: Secret History (Part 3)

Ultimately, a price tag of three million Dao Coins for a Coagulation Infant Pill is simply too steep, especially when Three Lights Divine Water costs only two million—with an additional twenty percent discount available to those who enlist with the Star Heaven Dao Sect.

Even the Golden Core cultivators from East Wu and the East Barbarians, despite their allegiance to the Five Elements Sect, found themselves swaying at such prospects.

Nevertheless, Chen Mobai’s formidable reputation served as a sufficient deterrent; while these cultivators felt the pull of temptation, none possessed the courage to actually defect.

While the Star Heaven Dao Sect focused on recruiting Golden Core experts, the majority of low and mid-tier cultivators flocked toward Yi Yuan Dao Palace.

Though the premier powers are well aware that Yi Yuan Dao Palace has been stripped of its status as a sacred ground, the average cultivator remains in the dark.

Operating under the delusion that it remains a Holy Land, and spurred by Earth Virtue’s offer of various cultivation technique manuals from the palace's archives as incentives, countless loose cultivators and minor factions seeking a legacy were quickly drawn in.

"This Earth Virtue is utterly brazen; he is auctioning off the secret inheritances amassed by generations of Yi Yuan Dao Palace ancestors for his own selfish gain."

Back at the courtyard, Chen Mobai was sharing tea with the Saintesses and representatives of the Three Great Sacred Lands. Upon hearing the news, Yuan Zhen was the first to voice her disapproval.

"It hardly matters to him now. He has already handed over the core Yi Yuan Dao Palace inheritance to the Five Elements Sect as a package deal, so he feels no remorse giving the rest to outsiders. Besides, these are merely Nascent Soul level cultivation methods and insights..."

Zhang Pankong set down his cup of Purple Mist Spirit Tea, offering a cutting analysis of Earth Virtue’s current state of mind.

"Under normal circumstances, I would certainly contest this, as it touches upon the very legacy of my Yi Yuan orthodoxy. However, given that we are in the midst of the pioneering phase, I must show respect to your Three Great Sacred Lands. Consequently, I have only sent a letter to offer him some mild counsel," Chen Mobai remarked.

The pioneering efforts had officially commenced. Every major power stationed outside Dongling Immortal City had secured suitable Fourth Rank Spirit Veins to serve as base camps and begun their push into their assigned territories.

Because the Dao Morale Sect had already purged the high-level demonic beasts in the immediate vicinity, most groups were making swift progress.

In contrast, the Five Elements Sect followed Chen Mobai’s strategy of steady, cautious advancement. Combined with the fact that they offered the least attractive recruitment terms, their pace was currently the slowest of all.

"Earth Virtue will almost certainly ignore your advice. Having refined the Primordial Dao Fruit, his chances of reaching Divinity Transformation are not insignificant if he obtains a Communicating Holy Spirit Pill. He likely intends to liquidate every resource in Yi Yuan Dao Palace to trade for one. We must find a way to obstruct him," Yuan Zhen urged.

Having long since aligned herself with Chen Mobai, she had no desire to see Earth Virtue achieve a breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation stage.

"Even if he manages to reach Divinity Transformation, the true Yi Yuan orthodoxy remains in my hands."

Chen Mobai spoke with absolute self-assurance.

Furthermore, based on his previous interactions with Earth Virtue, he suspected the man’s prospects for Divinity Transformation were actually quite slim.

"On another note, the army from the Beast Commanding Sect arrived today..." Xuan De mentioned after sampling the Spiritual Tea Chen Mobai had provided.

The Beast Commanding Sect is a prominent power in the East Land, backed by the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect. Xuan De and Shenxi had gone to welcome them personally. Remembering Chen Mobai’s earlier interest in them, Xuan De shared the update.

"Mu Youyi, the Great Elder of the Beast Commanding Sect, is an old acquaintance of mine. Since he has arrived, I must pay him a visit."

As he spoke, Chen Mobai produced a Message Talisman. He handed it to Han Zhiling—who had accompanied him today to gain experience—and instructed her to deliver it to Mu Youyi at the location Xuan De had provided.

...

"Hmph, this Chen Guixian of the Five Elements Sect is quite the character. I hadn't even started looking for him, yet he delivers himself right to me."

Within the Beast Commanding Sect’s encampment, a youth with gray hair and blue pupils chuckled as he read the Message Talisman Mu Youyi had presented.

This youth was none other than Su Taifeng, the Taoist Child of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect.

"How should I respond, Taoist Child?" Mu Youyi asked with deep respect.

His gaze drifted involuntarily toward the small creature resting at Su Taifeng’s feet—a pig-like beast with chicken claws and gray-white fur.

This was a True Spirit, a Rank-5 Civet Power raised by the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect.

Because this Civet Power had reached its rank in the West Continent and had never returned to the Central State, it was absent from the official records of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect.

Observing this Fifth Rank True Spirit, Mu Youyi felt as though Chen Mobai’s fate was already sealed.

Even if one were peerless within the Nascent Soul Realm, the sheer chasm between Great Realms was enough to drive anyone to despair.

A flicker of pity stirred in Mu Youyi’s heart.

Such is the reality of the Tianhe Realm.

No matter if one is the successor of the Yi Yuan True Monarch; if your treasures are coveted by the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, you are walking a path toward your own demise.

"Grant his request and set the meeting. I am eager to see the Yellow Dragon myself, as it is destined to become my life-bonded True Spirit."

As Su Taifeng spoke, he crushed the Message Talisman into fine dust, blowing it away so it scattered out of the camp.
