I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2392: 1076: Secrets of the Dragon Abyss Cave

The ghostly entity, no doubt, possesses at least the power of Deity Transformation Peak. Could it even be at the Cultivating Void stage?

This realization struck Chen Mobai, making him suddenly aware of his own rashness.

“I appreciate your help, young friend Chen. Luckily, you avoided the Netherworld’s grasp, which kept my positioning teleportation array intact; had it been otherwise, we could both have ended up stuck in the Netherworld…”

Dustless True Monarch adjusted his robes before expressing his gratitude to Chen Mobai.

At the same time, Da Kong True Monarch sealed the rift in the void and quickly consumed a pill, then pulled out two top-tier spirit stones to sit down and recover through meditation.

Even for a Deity Transformation True Monarch like him, employing the Void Evasion Technique to flee the Netherworld had drained a massive amount of his vital energy.

“What exactly occurred, seniors? How could the Golden Flame Manticore possess such cunning tricks?”

Chen Mobai feigned astonishment, believing that Dustless True Monarch and Da Kong True Monarch had been deceived right as the Golden Flame Manticore met its end.

“That creature, despite its solid cultivation base, couldn’t pull this off alone. It was our own mistake that allowed it…”

Dustless True Monarch let out a heavy sigh and began recounting how he and Da Kong True Monarch had ventured into and out of the Netherworld.

Nine Ghost Mother’s Sons!

Nether Dragon!

Wheel of Reincarnation!

Ming Zun!

These terms hit Chen Mobai like thunder, leaving his expression utterly stunned.

“Our sect’s intelligence about this exploration, though it was meant only for elite cultivators before, must have reached Tu Ming’s ears. He then led the Golden Flame Manticore to uncover this cave and planted a death ritual mark to activate the Nether Dragon portal, all to lure us righteous Deity Transformations into a trap…”

Dustless True Monarch voiced his theory, and Chen Mobai deemed it quite plausible, fitting perfectly with Ming Zun’s devious ways.

Reflecting on it, he realized he had narrowly avoided a grave error in judgment.

This grudge now pointed squarely at Ming Zun.

When it came to the leader of the Eastern Demonic Path, Chen Mobai felt completely assured of his dominance.

Back in his Nascent Soul days, he had already destroyed Tu Ming’s prime ghost fetus, proving the Pure Yang Scroll’s overwhelming power against demonic forces.

Even though Tu Ming had reformed and reached the Spirit Transformation Stage now, a single move from his Second Primeval Spirit would handle the threat with ease.

“Yet, this incident turned into a fortunate turn. We’ve gained entry to the Netherworld’s deepest sanctum, where legends say the Ghost Mother hid the Ascension Platform. Should we hit a wall in breaking through to Cultivating Void later, we could abandon all and seek a path to ascension via the rift between Yin and Yang Realms.”

Dustless True Monarch freely revealed this boon to Chen Mobai. Da Kong True Monarch, who had crossed realms with the Void Evasion Technique, knew that passage well. He had also planted his own positioning teleportation array there upon his return.

“Truly deserving of your status as seniors!”

Chen Mobai voiced his awe as he listened.

Recalling his own use of the Turtle Treasure for positioning, he pondered whether to drop into the Netherworld whenever he felt like it.

Would it be wise to bring these two along on such a trip?

But Chen Mobai quickly shook off the notion.

He wasn’t greedy for the Ascension Platform alone, yet the Netherworld’s heart was fraught with perils; drawing in mighty ghost deities or even Nine Ghost Mother’s Sons would spell doom for anyone at mere Spirit Transformation level, with no way out.

With his Turtle Treasure in hand, once he mastered One-Leaf Blindness to perfection, he could mask his aura even in the Netherworld, probing forward or pulling back as needed.

Right then, Da Kong True Monarch wrapped up his meditation; the two supreme grade spirit stones in his grasp crumbled to dust, which he tossed aside without a second thought.

Chen Mobai observed this, inwardly lamenting the squander.

Fragments of supreme grade spirit stones work wonders for crafting spiritual essences, especially in purging the most stubborn Dan Poison.

Qing Nu, deep in her alchemy pursuits, relied solely on such essences, yielding elixirs of unparalleled purity.

“We ought to lay down some seals here to keep intruders from stumbling upon it.”

Da Kong True Monarch proposed this with grave seriousness after rising.

Chen Mobai grasped his meaning at once.

For Tianhe Realm’s Deity Transformation experts, holding a route to the Netherworld’s core—home to the Ascension Platform—represented an invaluable asset.

After all, confronting the Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulation as a Deity Transformation cultivator meant almost certain death.

Hunting for the Ascension Platform in the Netherworld, however slim, at least dangled a thread of hope for survival.

“The three of us must swear an oath: the Dragon Abyss Cave’s mystery stays with us alone. Should any of us want to reveal it or bring in others to brave the Netherworld, it requires our unanimous consent.”

Dustless True Monarch chimed in, and Da Kong True Monarch nodded in full agreement without pause.

Chen Mobai paused for a moment, as oaths here were straightforward affairs.

Still, mindful of Tianhe Realm’s traditions—where even vows passed to disciples—he went along with the practice.

Once the oath was sworn, Da Kong True Monarch moved first, producing a Fifth Rank Array Plate. With a focused gaze, he deployed it to safeguard his positioning teleportation array atop the stone platform.

Going forward, any trip into the Netherworld would link through this array paired with the one abandoned there, serving as the vital entry point.

As Da Kong True Monarch finished his array work, Chen Mobai stepped up too, triggering the array plate and flags that Dustless True Monarch had earlier aligned with the spirit vein. He tweaked them a bit and erected a Fifth Rank Formation.

In the end, the trio departed Dragon Abyss Cave, and Dustless True Monarch hoisted the Xuanji Instrument into the vast heavens and earth, channeling a profound technique to commune with spirit veins across a thousand miles, reshaping landscapes and waterways to completely conceal the hidden cavern.

With that done, Da Kong True Monarch retrieved a case of message talismans and passed it to Chen Mobai.

“Stay in contact, young friend, for whatever comes next.”

Dustless True Monarch followed suit, offering his own set.

Chen Mobai found this method of communication a touch outdated, musing that after hitting Spirit Transformation, he might push his Heavenly Communication Device venture into East Land; at the same time, Immortal Gate’s Sky Curtain Ground Network Management Bureau could launch extra satellites for local use.

The ones Yunyang Bing had helped deploy before fell short now that Five Elements Sect’s lands had grown.

Besides the Eastern Wilderness’s complete coverage, signals only reached the area around Bright Mirror Immortal City under Zhou Ye’s watch and East Wu’s shores by Yun Meng Ze.

By Chen Mobai’s calculations, a constellation of one hundred and eight satellites would blanket the whole East Continent.

As these ambitious plans swirled in his mind, Chen Mobai promptly took the message talismans from both Deity Transformation True Monarchs and reciprocated with his.

“Time to head back. With this beast slain, the folks below can begin purging the demonic beasts from the Dongling Domain.”

Dustless True Monarch flicked his sleeve, revealing his purple-gold pill furnace to Chen Mobai’s eyes, where the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill brewed within.

As Da Kong True Monarch wrapped the three in the Void Evasion Technique for swift relocation, Chen Mobai asked about the pill’s completion timeline.

“This batch has been simmering for thirty years now. Adding the Golden Flame Manticore’s vital blood, it should solidify in just one or two more years.”

Upon hearing Dustless True Monarch’s response, Chen Mobai decided he could wait it out this time.
