I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2370: 1070: Two Divinity Transformation Masters (Part 2)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Chen Mobai pondered just this one thought, yet given that the individual could hail from the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, it made sense they might have traveled here independently without relying on a Teleportation Array.
“Sect Master Chen, join us at the Qian Yuan Tower for a talk.”
Right then, a Message Talisman sent by Shenxi appeared before Chen Mobai, delivering this invitation.
For the Righteous Dao forces in the Eastern Continent, the biggest danger within the Ruins remains the Golden Flame Manticore.
That said, as two Deity Transformation True Monarchs chase after it, and with Shetuoling's Spirit Vein now locked in place high above by the Heaven and Earth Xuanji Formation, victory—and the news of Dustless True Monarch's return to the East Land to craft the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill—should come soon.
In his response, Chen Mobai signaled to the three women present in the courtyard, Yin Qingmei among them.
“Qing Mei, accompany me to expand your knowledge; Xuan, deliver my note to Venus Valley and update Brother Mo on these events; Zhi Ling, remain here.”
During the prior gathering at Qian Yuan Tower, Chen Mobai had observed how Earth Virtue Xing Ji and the rest had included Nascent Soul Cultivators from their own sects. With Yin Qingmei on site now, this presented a perfect chance for her to encounter the mighty sects of the Eastern Continent.
Indeed, upon hitting the Nascent Soul stage, solo progress tends to drag on much more. As a top talent of the younger crowd in the Five Elements Sect, Yin Qingmei needed to start forging her path independently.
The three women promptly acknowledged his instructions upon hearing them.
Watching Yin Qingmei depart alongside Chen Mobai, Luo Yixuan felt a twinge of jealousy, though she understood that realm belonged to Nascent Souls alone.
“I figured attaining Nascent Soul marked the height of cultivation, yet today showed me the ascent continues endlessly.” Once by herself with Chen Mobai, Yin Qingmei voiced her awe at beholding a Deity Transformation in action.
The Heaven and Earth Xuanji Instrument continued to loom overhead, and confronting such an immense Array made her feel utterly insignificant, like a mere grain of sand.
“Push forward with your cultivation, and someday you'll reach that level too.”
Chen Mobai offered her this natural boost of encouragement.
Yin Qingmei gave a firm nod. Holding the Deity Transformation Immortal Scripture and the Jade Phoenix Tree—such extraordinary and arcane items—plus Chen Mobai's personal tutelage, she felt confident in her shot at Deity Transformation.
“What I saw today reveals the solid base of the Dao Morale Sect; it's truly formidable, yet keep in mind that all such bases build up across eras. Down the line, our Five Elements Sect's foundation can't lag behind this Holy Land—in fact, it ought to surpass it.”
Chen Mobai urged Yin Qingmei to hold respect while fostering the boldness and resolve to push boundaries and grow.
As they conversed, Qian Yuan Tower came into view.
“Sect Master Chen…”
Stepping inside, they saw Zhang Pankong Xuande and the others already assembled, all standing to welcome Chen Mobai, who seized the moment to present Yin Qingmei.
Honoring him, these Holy Land Taoist Children and Saintesses showed utmost courtesy, sharing introductions all around.
Once Chen Mobai settled into his place, he offered salutes to the three Shenxi sect leaders up front, receiving their nods in return.
They lingered briefly until the Nascent Soul Cultivators pioneering fresh territories outside—like Earth Virtue, Xing Ji, and Fire Cloud—reached Dongling Immortal City.
Unlike Chen Mobai's steady poise, they pulled out all stops for the Sacred Spirit Pill, throwing everything into the effort.
Still, Dustless True Monarch's grand display of deploying the Heaven and Earth Xuanji Instrument from afar to seal Shetuoling’s Spirit Vein hadn't gone unnoticed by them. So, even before the Dao Morale Sect’s Message Talisman reached out, they'd rushed ahead, enabling this swift gathering.
“Now that the main Daoist friends have gathered, allow me to share a few points…”
Shenxi surveyed the assembled cultivators, gave a subtle nod, and proceeded to outline Dustless True Monarch’s directives.
“Having two True Monarchs intervene, plus Shetuoling’s Spirit Vein sealed away, strips the Golden Flame Manticore of its terrain edge and ensures it can't hold its own. That aside, Shetuoling still harbors a potent Fiery Poisonous Miasma beyond the Spirit Vein, so we'll need Friend Hong Yun's aid there.”
“The sole worry now is if the Golden Flame Manticore, spotting the dire odds, flees Shetuoling toward the Ruins' depths—though Da Kong True Monarch will undoubtedly cut it off.”
“Beyond the Golden Flame Manticore as the top peril, the Ruins teem with Rank-4 demonic beasts, particularly since this one has three offspring, each a mighty entity carrying its True Spirit Bloodline…”
Shenxi laid out the strategy for claiming Shetuoling, while also rallying core troops from various East Land powers to join the Three Great Sacred Lands' forces, bolstered by the Burning Heaven Meridians.
Partway through his words, a pair of Nascent Soul Cultivators—a man and a woman—were shown in.
“We got here a bit behind, so please pardon our delay and seek the three Sect Masters' leniency.”
The man sported a striking look, with a cultivation base that impressed, having already hit Nascent Soul Completion.
The woman donned a vibrant gown, boasted a lithe build, glowing skin, and breathtaking beauty, though an icy demeanor warded off approaches.
“You two timed it perfectly; find your spots.”
Shenxi offered a faint smile and pointed to the third cushion next to Chen Mobai.
Several Nascent Soul Cultivators who knew the newcomers rose to pay respects, and through this, Chen Mobai picked up on their identities.
The man went by Han Xingzi, serving as the Great Elder of Jade Shatter Hall, while the woman was Master Luoying from the Snow Mountain Sect.
Their entry caused Hong Yun, seated opposite, to scowl noticeably.
Even though the Holy Lands of Fen Tianjing Di and Ice had long splintered, the bitter grudge between the Burning Heaven Meridians and the Three Veins of Ice Heaven lingered on.
Yet, with the Three Great Sacred Lands' sect leaders observing closely, Hong Yun and Han Xingzi kept their composure, steering clear of eye contact.
Chen Mobai thought back to the Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu in his possession, musing if Han Xingzi or Master Luoying had processed the Three Yin Dao Fruits.
With so many eyes around, whipping out a Fifth Rank Artifact right then wouldn't do, so he figured he'd seek a moment later to probe further.
While lost in thought, Han Xingzi drew near, offering a brief nod to Xing Ji ahead of him, but his brow creased upon spotting Chen Mobai in the lead seat.
“This is Sect Master Chen Guixian from the Five Elements Sect.”
Xing Ji presented him with a grin.
At those words, Han Xingzi's face lit with recognition, then he extended a polite salute.
Chen Mobai felt a touch let down, having geared up to strike down Han Xingzi in one sword stroke to flaunt his prowess.
Nevertheless, his fame across the East Land rang so loudly that even Han Xingzi, fresh from a hundred years of seclusion, had caught wind from his pupils of this fierce successor to Yi Yuan True Monarch in the Eastern Wilderness—a talent so overwhelming that Yi Yuan Dao Palace stayed utterly silent.
Exchanging nods, Han Xingzi and Master Luoying claimed their seats.
…
In the 42nd year of the Profound Heaven Era.
The Three Great Sacred Lands of the Eastern Continent marshaled their forces from the East Spirit Mountain Range, splitting into three paths aligned with Li, Zhen, and Dui, crushing hordes of demonic beasts and surging forward eight thousand miles within a single month.
But then came a river stretching seven hundred miles across, swarming with demon kings and fearsome flood dragons, blocking the army's path—even if Nascent Soul experts could soar above, the rest couldn't.
Transporting folks on treasure ships below Rank-4 risked swift capsizing under relentless assaults from the water beasts.
The Three Great Sacred Lands sent out twenty-three Rank-4 treasure ships, ferrying top cultivators over the river toward Shetuoling.
All the same, these split groups struggled to ford the waters, almost getting dispersed by the demonic beast horde guarding Shetuoling’s far shore.
In that pivotal instant, the Three Great Sacred Lands' sect leaders unleashed their might.
Brandishing Fifth Rank Artifacts, they halted and cut down the fiercest demon kings, erecting an unbreakable shield for the advancing army.
Three months later, Zhang Pankong guided the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace in erecting dozens of Teleportation Arrays, shuttling the forces to the other side.
With the armies merged once more, the demonic beast forces no longer barred their way and fell back.
Even then, it took the Three Great Sacred Lands a solid two years to arrive at Shetuoling's base.
The area burned with raging fires, shrouded in poisonous fumes that could scorch the blood and Spiritual Power of any regular Qi Practitioner with just a sniff.
Yet the Spirit Vein in this spot appeared utterly encased in ice.
