I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2394 - 1077: Taiyin Treasure Pearl (Part 2)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
From afar, Ni Yuanzhong deemed the members of the Three Veins of Ice Heaven utterly incompetent, certain that he could fend it off with ease on his own.
Right then, the Innate Sun True Fire, freed from the Fire Stabilization Technique's restraint, abruptly expanded in all directions. As Ni Yuanzhong drew closer, his expression shifted drastically, detecting a perilous threat to his very existence.
Right as he prepared to unleash the Power of Dao Fruits, Dustless True Monarch lightly swayed the Cleansing World Pot he held, unleashing a powerful pull from its opening that swallowed up every bit of the True Fire.
"Young friend Chen, I require this inner core. What portion of the Golden Flame Manticore’s body appeals to you? Regard it as your recompense."
With the Cleansing World Pot tucked away in his storage bag once more, Dustless True Monarch inquired of Chen Mobai with a grin.
In the battle against the Golden Flame Manticore this time, Chen Mobai had undeniably played a key role, so beyond the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, he merited a portion of the leftover treasures no matter what.
Da Kong True Monarch held no qualms about this arrangement.
After all, without Chen Mobai dismantling the grand formation of Dragon Abyss Cave, they would likely have withdrawn in frustration and turned their attention to combating the aggressive East Dawn Demon Dao first.
"Seniors, you two divide it up initially, and whatever remains can go to me."
Regarding the Golden Flame Manticore, the sole item that drew Chen Mobai's interest was its inner core.
The fact that it had nurtured Innate Sun True Fire meant its inner core possessed an innate quality, ideal for crafting a Second Primeval Spirit.
Though he possessed one already, bringing it back to the Immortal Gate could benefit a practitioner of the Pure Yang Scroll at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, such as his close companion Ming Yuhua.
However, since Dustless True Monarch had claimed the Cleansing World Pot from the Burning Heaven Meridians for that inner core, Chen Mobai had no intention of vying for it.
Under these circumstances, he chose to act magnanimously instead.
"I notice young friend Chen’s vestment is merely Fourth Rank Superior Grade; why not claim the Golden Flame Manticore’s pelt? Given your expertise in artifact refining, you could craft a Fifth Rank vestment from it, far more suitable for someone of your standing."
Observing Chen Mobai's gracious demeanor from the sidelines, Da Kong True Monarch pondered his needs and offered the suggestion himself.
Hearing this, Chen Mobai acknowledged the validity of the idea.
The Pure Yang Immortal Robe, being a piece of the Primordial Yang Set, could only display its maximum might when directed by the Second Primeval Spirit in clashes against mighty adversaries.
For instance, in the clash with Civet Power, once Chen Mobai’s primary form shed the Immortal Robe, he had to depend on the Magic Artifact Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo to form a defensive vestment.
This approach clearly wasn't sustainable over time.
As the Sect Master of a premier Holy Land among the Four Great ones in the Eastern Continent, a cultivator at the Righteous Deity Transformation stage, he ought to possess a Fifth Rank vestment.
"In that case, I express my gratitude to you both, seniors."
The courteous banter between the trio left Hong Yun, along with Han Xingzi and the others freshly revived thanks to Master Luo Ying's aid, staring in utter astonishment.
Yet Ni Yuanzhong, informed by Yuan Zhen from Dongling Immortal City about Chen Mobai achieving the Spirit Transformation stage via the Yi Yuan Dao Body and emerging as the third pillar of the Eastern Continent Righteous Dao, was fully aware.
"My congratulations to Sect Master Chen for perfecting his divine abilities and vanquishing a Fifth Rank True Spirit!"
Through the years at Shetuoling, collaborating with Hong Yun to battle enemies, Ni Yuanzhong as the chief commander here had gained substantial advantages himself, so he proactively alerted Hong Yun, Han Xingzi, and the rest.
At Ni Yuanzhong's declaration, the elder Bai Wu trailing Hong Yun shuddered fiercely and promptly lowered his head in respect.
Meanwhile, the others stood dumbfounded, their jaws dropping in shock.
No one questioned the truth of it.
Earlier, Chen Mobai had casually quelled the Innate Sun True Fire, which the united might of the Three Veins of Ice Heaven failed to contain, proving his realm far exceeded the Nascent Soul stage.
Furthermore, the conduct of Dustless True Monarch and Da Kong True Monarch revealed it all.
They weren't the sort who, after dominating the Eastern Continent for a millennium, would generously distribute gains to Nascent Soul cultivators out of goodwill.
In that instant, Hong Yun remembered his earlier folly, swayed by Bai Wu to target the Five Elements Sect, and inwardly damned Bai Wu's forebears without mercy.
Meantime, Han Xingzi and Master Luo Ying, spotting Chen Mobai with the Taiyin Treasure Pearl in hand, wavered on how to request the return of their supreme treasure.
"Nephew Ni, I'm entrusting this location to you!"
With that, Dustless True Monarch directed Ni Yuanzhong, while Da Kong True Monarch at his side activated the silver ring on his wrist in a flicker, enveloping the three Divinity Transformed cultivators and whisking them away to Dongling Immortal City.
"Oh no, I nearly forgot to hand this pearl back to fellow Daoist Han Xingzi."
As the silver glow dissipated, Chen Mobai felt the chilling Taiyin Treasure Pearl in his grasp and acted as if the thought had only just struck him.
"Please, young friend Chen, feel free to settle in Dongling Immortal City as you wish. Should the Three Veins of Ice Heaven desire this Taiyin Treasure Pearl, they can seek you out at Shetuoling anytime."
On this matter, Dustless True Monarch and Da Kong True Monarch remained unconcerned. As esteemed Spirit Transformation cultivators, borrowing a Fifth Rank Artifact for the broader cause of the Eastern Continent Righteous Dao was par for the course.
Hadn't they witnessed the Cleansing World Pot now residing in his storage bag!
Both presumed Chen Mobai had taken a liking to the Taiyin Treasure Pearl, explaining why he clutched it so firmly.
"This pearl doesn't appear to qualify as a Magic Artifact. As an Artifact Refiner, I found myself briefly captivated by it."
Chen Mobai clarified, since he wasn't one to greedily seize others' possessions. But upon reaching Shetuoling, his eyes had caught the snow-white glowing pearl hovering over Han Xingzi's head, and drawing from his insight with the Five Elements Dao Fruits, it struck him as unusual.
It bore a faint resemblance to a Dao Fruit, prompting him to keep hold of it for closer examination.
Little did he expect that the two True Monarchs, true to their bold and efficient nature, would secure the Cleansing World Pot and the Golden Flame Manticore’s inner core without delay, then sweep him up and depart straightaway.
