I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2381 - 1074: Da Kong True Monarch
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
After snapping photos to preserve the memory, Chen Mobai directed his attention back to the Civet Power's remains.
A Fifth Rank True Spirit's body holds immense value for cultivators everywhere. Beyond employing its essence blood in elixir crafting, the Civet Power's bones, fur, fangs, claws, and more—as an earth-based divine beast—harbor potent Earth True Power, suitable for forging into formidable Magic Artifacts.
Apart from those parts, the inner core remains the ultimate prize.
Considering this, Chen Mobai probed the Civet Power's corpse using Echoes in the Void, then commanded his Second Primeval Spirit to swing the Primordial Yang Sword for a gentle incision across its abdomen. Right away, a yellowish-brown glow erupted from the cut, morphing into a compact yellowish-brown orb that settled into his grasp.
Sensing the vast True Power surging inside, Chen Mobai gave a subtle nod of satisfaction.
This treasure would serve exceptionally well for Zhuo Ming, the young Yellow Dragon Girl, or the Tai Sui Child alike.
Yet, being an inner core formed through a beast's cultivation, it demands unique refinement techniques to process properly.
For example, Qing Nu had taken the Poisonous Dragon Inner Pill and Green Sea Great King’s inner core, using them as key components to brew into elixirs.
With that in mind, Chen Mobai prepared to store the inner core when a sudden intuition gripped him, causing him to lift his eyes toward the heavens.
A burst of silver light shimmered briefly, and a square-faced cultivator with prominent ears materialized from the void.
"Greetings, Da Kong True Monarch."
Chen Mobai had encountered him during his time in Dongling Immortal City and recognized him as a Deity Transformation True Monarch of Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, so he offered respectful salutations befitting a junior.
As Da Kong True Monarch appeared, his gaze instantly locked onto the crater's heart in the earth and the Civet Power's lifeless form.
Even after death, the thick, intense True Power radiating from the body unmistakably marked it as a Fifth Rank True Spirit.
He then spotted Chen Mobai near the remains and the Second Primeval Spirit mirroring his own features.
In a moment, by detecting the Qi bond with the Second Primeval Spirit—paired with the battlefield's fading Fire Great Dao Power—Da Kong True Monarch realized that Chen Mobai had slain the Civet Power.
"No need to be so polite, how should I address you?"
In Dongling Immortal City, Da Kong True Monarch had ignored a figure as unremarkable as Chen Mobai back then, so he naturally lacked knowledge of his background and responded with courteous inquiry.
"I am Chen Guixian of the Five Elements Sect."
Chen Mobai swiftly presented himself, as his Second Primeval Spirit concurrently shifted into a Treasure Bead and integrated into the nape of his neck.
Observing this, Da Kong True Monarch solidified his suspicions.
[Achieving a Soul Incarnation at merely the Nascent Soul Realm!]
As a deity of Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, Da Kong True Monarch's insights greatly outstripped Su Taifeng's.
He immediately recognized that Chen Mobai's core form lingered at Nascent Soul, while the accompanying incarnation clearly reached Primordial Spirit Realm.
In Tianhe Realm's long history, such occurrences, though scarce, were not entirely unprecedented.
For one, Yuanchen True Monarch of the North Zhou Star Celestial Temple—one of the Four Truths—had leveraged his sect's Supreme Treasure to craft a twelve-star Star God Incarnation amid his Nascent Soul phase, wielding combat prowess that surpassed deities.
"So, it’s you, little friend, no wonder, no wonder..."
Although Da Kong True Monarch had never crossed paths with Chen Mobai directly, the name sounded familiar. He remembered how Yi Yuan True Monarch, post-ascension, managed to station a Soul Incarnation at Mount Wudi for protection. Now, as Yi Yuan Orthodoxy's successor, Chen Mobai's own incarnation evidently stemmed from securing the authentic legacy Yi Yuan True Monarch concealed in the Eastern Wilderness.
Boasting deity-transcending might already in Nascent Soul, the formidable Heavenly Tribulation that Nascent Souls face when advancing to Deity Transformation would surely prove effortless.
Given this, viewing Chen Mobai as a cultivator with deity-transcending capabilities seemed entirely appropriate.
Thus, during their exchange, Da Kong True Monarch displayed a warm and approachable manner.
"I dare not say, I am on the same level as Brother Zhang, Senior may call me by my name."
Though aware of his newfound deity-transcending strength, Chen Mobai upheld his reverence for authentic Deity Transformation True Monarchs.
"Haha, young friend is too modest. Among this realm’s cultivators, we base the ranking on cultivation levels. Since you’ve refined a Soul Incarnation, in no time you’ll be one of us..."
As Da Kong True Monarch conversed, he retrieved a Dao Transmission Talisman and inscribed details via his Divine Sense. With a gesture of his fingers, it divided into twin silver rays and faded away.
"This time, Azure Fall mentioned the emergence of a wild Fifth Rank True Spirit near Dongling Immortal City. I sent Junior Brother Dustless to keep an eye on the Golden Flame Manticore while I came myself to check the situation, lest we face unexpected trouble."
Noting the confusion in Chen Mobai’s gaze, Da Kong True Monarch offered clarification.
"I see. How is the situation with the Golden Flame Manticore?"
"It was heavily injured by Junior Brother Dustless and me, but it still managed to escape into another lair. We are together blocking it, and once the Heaven and Earth Xuanji Formation is prepared again, we can enter and completely annihilate it."
Da Kong True Monarch paused momentarily but chose transparency with Chen Mobai, disclosing the true state of affairs.
After all, Chen Mobai, embodying Yi Yuan Orthodoxy, formed part of the Eastern Continent Holy Lands.
Theoretically, gains from pioneering new lands ought to extend to his lineage as well.
Only, prior to the venture, Chen Mobai had kept his Soul Incarnation secret, excluding him from their lineage's expedition roster.
With the knowledge now revealed, Da Kong True Monarch deemed it essential to rectify the oversight.
Chen Mobai: "Do you need my help?"
Now that Da Kong True Monarch knew about the Second Primeval Spirit, Chen Mobai saw little reason to conceal it further. Plus, after overcoming Su Taifeng and the Civet Power, those bearing Earth Virtue or the like would scarcely venture to act against him.
