I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2405 - 1080: Mystic Fusion of All Transformations

Chen Mobai had a clear sense of why Xing Ji was paying a visit. Given the large cadre of Nascent Soul Cultivators in the Five Elements Sect, the Three Lights Divine Water held immense value for their contributions, so he dispatched Han Zhiling to welcome the arrival.

"Salutations, True Monarch!"

Upon stepping inside, Xing Ji offered a respectful bow before passing a jade box over to Han Zhiling.

Noting that Xing Ji hadn't shown up without a token of esteem, Chen Mobai gave a subtle nod of satisfaction inwardly, yet he kept his words courteous: "Now that you're here, no gift is necessary. It makes things seem overly ceremonial."

As he spoke, Chen Mobai extended his Divine Sense to probe, spotting two vials of Three Lights Divine Water inside the jade box, which brought a faint grin to his lips; he rose to his feet and gestured for Xing Ji to take a seat, while directing Han Zhiling to brew some premium tea.

"True Monarch, the primary purpose of my coming today is to request your help."

Aware that Chen Mobai favored directness, Xing Ji laid out his intentions right after settling down.

The final dose of Communicating Holy Spirit Pill was now contested solely between him and Earth Virtue. By the established norms, Xing Ji felt assured of outpacing Earth Virtue, though he worried the rival might flout those conventions.

In the Dongling Domain at present, guided by the Four Great Holy Lands, all Rank-4 Monsters had been eradicated. In principle, Xing Ji led Earth Virtue by more than two million Dao Coins, and since the Star Heaven Dao Sect drew in greater numbers of Golden Core Cultivators, this advantage was bound to grow further.

However, a cleared Dongling Domain didn't imply the same for the Ruins.

Since Earth Virtue had voiced this concern before two God Transformation experts, Xing Ji suspected he could rally the top talents from Yi Yuan Dao Palace beyond the Dongling Domain to delve into the Ruins and pursue Rank-4 Monsters.

After all, Earth Virtue had reached Nascent Soul Completion and held the Primordial Dao Fruit as well. With a bit of fortune, he might fell a Fourth Rank Superior Grade Monster, rendering the Star Heaven Dao Sect's hunts for lesser beasts in Dongling Domain utterly insignificant by comparison.

Therefore, Xing Ji's purpose in coming was to implore Chen Mobai to alter the regulations, limiting Dao Coin earnings to monsters slain solely within Dongling Domain.

"This request is utterly out of the question."

Chen Mobai rejected it outright without hesitation.

In the same breath, he handed back the jade box that Xing Ji had presented.

It wasn't a matter of Chen Mobai favoring Earth Virtue, but rather that fulfilling such a change demanded the consent of Dao Morale Sect, who controlled the issuance of Dao Coins in return for monster materials from the Ruins.

To Dao Morale Sect, a multitude of low-tier monsters paled in worth against even one superior-grade beast, so they eagerly urged Nascent Soul Cultivators from Dongling Domain to push outward and target more elite monsters.

Beyond that, Dao Morale Sect had no reason to yield to Chen Mobai's influence; tweaking the rule like this would spark endless conflicts down the line.

For example, determining if slain monsters originated from Dongling Domain would prove tricky.

Superior-grade ones could be more readily confirmed, but lesser ones roamed throughout the vast Ruins. At the moment, massive monster packs had been crushed inside Dongling Domain, with groups like the Five Elements Sect mobilizing forces to probe deeper into the Ruins.

Such a rule shift would delight only Xing Ji, leaving every other cultivator in Dongling Domain seething with frustration.

Just two shares of Three Lights Divine Water fell far short of swaying Chen Mobai to intervene.

Had it been the formula for refining Three Lights Divine Water, then perhaps some discussion might ensue.

"True Monarch, I've learned from Junior Brother Xing Chen that our sect retains vast fields of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice in the Eastern Wilderness Domain. I'm prepared to offer them to you ahead of time, in joyous anticipation of your triumphant Ascend to become Immortals and two thousand years of enduring vitality!"

Xing Ji knew full well that his ask outweighed the initial offering, so he countered with yet another lavish gesture.

"A true gentleman shuns coveting the possessions of others, and post-Divine Transformation, one should nurture the emptiness while steering clear of deep worldly ties. I value your kind intent, Xing Ji."

Even if the present lacked direct bearing on aiding Xing Ji's cause, it still served as a bond. Though Chen Mobai coveted those vast fields of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice, eyeing the final unclaimed swath of Eastern Wilderness outside Five Elements Sect control, he deemed its worth insufficient to back Xing Ji on this issue.

"True Monarch, per my pact with Sect Master Shenxi, should I achieve Ascend to become Immortals via the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, I'll deliver the refining formula for Three Lights Divine Water, and with your sect elevated among the Holy Lands, you'll gain access to transcribe it."

Xing Ji brought up an additional incentive, even though the original deal had barred the Five Elements Sect; now, with Chen Mobai's rise as the Yi Yuan Orthodoxy, Xing Ji figured this leverage might convince him.

"In that case, I extend my best wishes for your success in Ascending to become Immortals. That said, I'd rather delve into the jade slip of your sect's cherished immortal tome..."

Hearing this, Chen Mobai responded with a wry, teasing smirk.

The pact between Xing Ji and Shenxi included a fallback: should Xing Ji's attempt with the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill fail, he would surrender the immortal tome jade slip detailing Three Lights Divine Water for the Holy Lands to study.

With his mastery of the Realm of the Law of the Five Tones, Chen Mobai boasted superior insight, confident he could unravel mysteries that eluded generations of Star Heaven Dao Sect forebears.

"The condition hinges on me taking the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill first!"

Xing Ji pointed out sharply, for while the Three Lights Divine Water formula held great allure for a Holy Land, it wasn't indispensable.

In truth, Holy Lands required Three Lights Divine Water for Nascent Soul breakthroughs, and Star Heaven Dao Sect wouldn't presume to withhold it.
