I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2382 - 1074: Da Kong True Monarch (Part 2)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Thus, he resolved to stop the pretense.
"Should you choose to act, that would be ideal. In that case, you could properly claim a Communicating Holy Spirit Pill."
Da Kong True Monarch’s statement sparked deep joy within Chen Mobai.
These seniors at the deity transformation stage from the East Continent’s righteous path proved remarkably generous.
From Yuan Qingque and Wuchen to even Da Kong right before him, each had shown him exceptional consideration.
Right then, he felt immense gratitude for using the Turtle Treasure to arrive and stepping onto the righteous path from the beginning.
As the pair conversed, streams of Nascent Soul Aura abruptly streaked across the northern horizon, swiftly descending into the massive crater. Under the lead of the Azure Fall Palace Master, they all bowed to Da Kong True Monarch. "Greetings, True Monarch!"
Chen Mobai noticed that, aside from the Azure Fall Palace Master, known Nascent Soul figures such as Xing Ji and Earth Virtue trailed her.
Yet, Da Kong True Monarch’s brow furrowed upon seeing their salute directed solely at him, a clear sign of his irritation. "Have you overlooked Chen Mobai there? Will you not pay your respects?"
His remark baffled the Azure Fall Palace Master and the Nascent Soul cultivators, who couldn’t fathom why they ought to honor a peer Nascent Soul like Chen Mobai.
Even as the personal disciple of Yi Yuan True Monarch, did he truly warrant such deference?
He wasn’t a follower of the Taixu True King!
Still, given the deity transformation expert’s command, they had no choice but to stifle their unease and offer cupped-fist salutes to Chen Mobai: "Greetings, Sect Master Chen."
Chen Mobai gave a warm smile and a nod, brushing off the minor formality.
Following this exchange, the Nascent Soul cultivators turned their gazes to the crater’s depths, where the civet power lay as a lifeless husk, their faces alight with awe.
"Truly, with just a minor effort from Da Kong True Monarch, the Rank-5 True Spirit fell effortlessly."
Xing Ji, arriving with the group, led the acclaim, and soon Earth Virtue along with the other Nascent Soul experts chimed in agreement.
Detecting the presence of the feral Rank-5 True Spirit, these cultivators—who had been pursuing demonic beasts amid the ruins for Dao Coins—had hastily retreated to Dongling Immortal City to evade becoming prey once the True Spirit razed the Five Elements Sect beneath the Kun position.
On this occasion, after Azure Fall Palace Master got Da Kong True Monarch’s notice of the Rank-5 True Spirit’s demise, they all rushed over, eager to build rapport with the deity transformation senior.
Hence, the moment they touched down, flattery poured forth.
Regarding the odd, blistering air nearby, they chalked it up to a fire vein unearthed amid the deity transformation clash.
"What audacity!" Witnessing the accolades aimed his way, Da Kong True Monarch—whose face had barely eased—flushed with fury and scolded them outright.
Xing Ji and the rest, mid-thought on further compliments, stood stunned, jaws dropped in confusion.
How could flattery possibly go awry like this?
"The savage Rank-5 True Spirit lay slain before my arrival; Chen Mobai was the one who struck it down." Here, Da Kong True Monarch gestured toward the civet power in the crater’s heart, gravely affirming that he held no credit.
"This..."
His declaration made everyone’s eyes bulge in astonishment.
Were it not for their knowledge that a deity transformation True Monarch’s word stood as truth, they might have dismissed it as a jest.
A Rank-5 True Spirit, no matter how mighty a Nascent Soul cultivator, posed an insurmountable foe. Recalling Da Kong True Monarch’s prior insistence on saluting Chen Mobai, a staggering notion crossed their thoughts.
Earth Virtue gulped nervously, his features twisted in distress and doubt.
"Sect Master Chen, have you attained deity transformation already?"
As the top authority there and Da Kong True Monarch’s own disciple, Azure Fall Palace Master couldn’t contain her surprise and posed the question.
"No, I remain in the Nascent Soul Realm."
Chen Mobai shook his head, speaking honestly.
Positioned behind Azure Fall Palace Master, Earth Virtue, Mysterious Water, and Yan Huo—the trio of Nascent Soul cultivators—each let out a quiet breath of relief at his response.
Moments earlier, they had pondered ways to yield and greet Chen Mobai without shame, should he have advanced to deity transformation.
"Chen Mobai has mastered the Yi Yuan Dao Body, inherited from Yi Yuan’s teachings, up to the Primordial Spirit stage. This feral Rank-5 True Spirit simply met misfortune, lurking in the ruins for millennia, only to face Chen Mobai and perish the instant it surfaced."
With that, Da Kong True Monarch disclosed the truth.
As Chen Mobai no longer wished to hide it, he nodded along, letting the Primordial Yang Treasure Beads emerge from behind his head to display the second primeval spirit.
The inherent Pure Yang Qi, rivaling the Spirit Transformation Stage, radiated outward, leaving all in awe as they grasped the revelation.
It all made sense now—why the battlefield bore traces of wild fire element true power; the pieces fit perfectly.
"Congratulations to Sect Master Chen on reaching divine transformation!"
"We owe thanks to Turtle Immortal True Monarch’s timely arrival, or else countless cultivators could have fallen to this Rank-5 True Spirit."
"What a testament to the Yi Yuan Orthodoxy—manifesting the Soul Incarnation right in the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Suddenly, the cluster of Nascent Soul cultivators, who had just lauded Da Kong True Monarch, shifted their focus entirely, rephrasing their praise to shower Chen Mobai with acclaim.
Several also glanced toward Earth Virtue and the Yi Yuan Dao Palace members.
At last, the Yi Yuan orthodoxy conflict stood resolved.
If Earth Virtue would yield remained to be seen.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Chen; your Yi Yuan Dao Body differs somewhat from the version handed down by the Dao Palace forebears."
Earth Virtue snapped back to reality then, pushing down his inner turmoil to extend congratulations to Chen Mobai, though his words left the observers perplexed.
