I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2407 - 1080: Mystic Fusion of All Transformations (Part 3)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
"When you, Junior Brother, reach Divinity Transformation as a cultivator, our sect will rise to Holy Land status. By then, should we keep the name ’Five Elements’ or take up the ’Yi Yuan’ legacy from the East Land?"
Having honored the remains of the Civet Power, as Zhou Ye and the others kept lauding the might and courage shown by Chen Mobai’s Second Primeval Spirit, Zhou Shengqing had already turned his thoughts to the future and voiced this query.
Zhou Shengqing felt deeply torn on this point.
To him, the Five Elements Sect name carried profound sentimental weight, yet switching to Yi Yuan Dao Palace and joining a Holy Land’s ranks would let him resolve the lifelong sorrow of the Primordial Ancestral Master.
Zhou Shengqing held immense reverence for that Master, the Primordial Ancestral Master. Though they grew distant later to clear a path for Zhou Ye, it was under the Primordial Ancestral Master’s tutelage that they rose to their current stature in the Immortal Cultivation World.
Precisely since either choice seemed fitting, even Nascent Soul cultivators like Zhou Shengqing wrestled with this dilemma.
"Let’s hold onto the Five Elements; no point in altering what we know so well."
Yet Chen Mobai showed no such hesitation; the Yi Yuan Dao Palace stirred no affection in him.
Besides, even under the Yi Yuan banner, should he ascend, his standing in the Tianhe Realm would likely forever trail the Yi Yuan True Monarch.
Chen Mobai refused to accept that; he aimed to stand as the founding Patriarch of a Holy Land sect!
The Yi Yuan orthodoxy label served its purpose for now, and once the Five Elements Sect’s might swelled enough to fully absorb all of Yi Yuan Dao Palace, it could simply fade away.
"Then we’ll follow Sect Leader Brother’s word!"
With Chen Mobai’s choice settled, Zhou Shengqing let out a relieved breath.
Deep down, he favored keeping the Five Elements Sect too, since the Primordial Ancestral Master carried regrets, but his followers did not.
Plus, Yi Yuan Dao Palace counted as a Holy Land, and once Chen Mobai hit Divinity Transformation, the Five Elements Sect would claim that title as well.
Those of Chen Mobai’s generation would hold sway on par with the sect’s origin founder!
This realization filled everyone with greater joy, and they showered Chen Mobai with well-wishes for his breakthrough to Divinity Transformation.
"Then I’ll head back to the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion for seclusion, and I’ll leave the sect’s matters in your capable hands."
Chen Mobai stored the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, flashed a smile, and readied himself to trigger Vault Teleportation straight to the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion.
"Sect Master, there’s one other issue that may need your input."
Right then, Zhou Ye spoke up and passed Chen Mobai an invitation featuring a golden sheet studded with assorted pearls.
"Dragon Palace!"
Spotting those words on the invitation, Chen Mobai’s brow furrowed in bewilderment.
"An envoy from the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court brought it. They came up from the sea via Golden Crow Immortal City and dropped it at Bright Mirror Immortal City, addressing it to you alone. With you away, I held onto it."
Chen Mobai gave a small nod at Zhou Ye’s account, then unfolded the pearl-studded golden sheet that served as the invitation. To his astonishment, a domineering True Strength of Rank-5 lingered within.
This True Strength must have come from a Rank-5 Flood Dragon tied to the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court.
Such thoughts only heightened Chen Mobai’s intrigue.
For, as Zhou Ye described, when the invitation arrived, Chen Mobai hadn’t yet disclosed his Second Primeval Spirit’s power publicly, so the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court still viewed him merely as a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Did a mere Nascent Soul warrant a personal summons from a Divinity Transformation Flood Dragon?
As these ideas swirled in Chen Mobai’s mind, he prepared to unleash his Second Primeval Spirit against the overbearing True Strength, but abruptly, the page unfurled on its own.
"Oh?"
Chen Mobai let out a startled murmur, though moments later, the invitation’s message gripped his full attention.
"Old schemer, you dream too grandly!"
Having scanned it through, Chen Mobai issued a chilly huff and snapped shut the golden sheet in his grasp.
"Junior Brother, is the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court stirring up problems?"
Zhou Shengqing inquired, his voice laced with subtle worry.
Even mighty Eastern Earth Holy Land sects had to show deference to the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, an ancient force dating back to the Tianhe Realm’s dawn, boasting bottomless power and legacy.
"The Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court heard I possess a Yellow Dragon—and a female one at that—so they seek to arrange a marriage."
Chen Mobai revealed what the golden sheet declared, his snort underscoring how he now ranked the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court among his foes.
"I see!"
At those words, Zhou Shengqing and the rest displayed sudden understanding.
The Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court gained fame for sowing its lineage across the Four Seas. Learning of an Innate True Spirit like the Yellow Dragon, they’d naturally desire to wed her into the Dragon Palace.
After all, True Spirit bloodlines struggled to produce heirs without diluting purity.
Pairing with a mother of potent bloodline promised far superior outcomes with minimal toil.
"Sect Master, how do we handle this? The demonic beast messenger said it would linger in the waters beyond Golden Crow Immortal City..."
Zhou Ye brought up the next detail, clutching a shell-shaped item from the demonic beast—much like the Message Talismans humans used, ready to activate with a surge of Spiritual Power.
"No reply needed; we’ll just stall them!"
Though Chen Mobai trusted the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation he’d deployed and felt sure it could repel any assault from the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, he preferred not to draw such a foe prematurely.
What’s more, the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court had so far unveiled two Rank-5 Flood Dragons.
Ignoring it amounted to rejection.
Yet once he attained Divinity Transformation, dismissing them face-to-face afterward might even garner some regard from the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court.
"Should we consult the Yellow Dragon True Spirit? Wedging her there could benefit her with the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court’s vast resources, and our Five Elements Sect might forge ties as kin..."
