I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2442 - 1090: May the Sect Endure for Eternity (Part 2)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
While Chen Mobai pondered why a lofty Ascended Monk like Yuan Qingque acted so thriftily, the monk passed him an item.
She gestured that these belonged to Chen Mobai as his rightful spoils from the battle, and he ought to claim them.
In his mind, Chen Mobai agreed quietly, refusing any false humility, and took the items without hesitation.
"Hiss... Young friend, you truly live up to the name of a Sword Cultivator!"
After listening to Yuan Qingque's description, Da Kong True Monarch drew in a sharp breath, drawing on his vast experience.
At the very least, he himself had needed the profound spells from Taixu MiaoMiao Palace just to fend off the White Bone Demon King and the ancient Flood Dragon.
Chen Mobai, fresh into the Spirit Transformation Stage, had already outdone his own thousand years of cultivation, leaving Da Kong True Monarch both stunned and humbled.
"Oh no, I merely defeated the White Bone Demon King. The old Flood Dragon's withdrawal from the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court owed much to the two Supreme Treasures wielded by the Nine Heavens Morality Sect."
Once he stowed away his gains, Chen Mobai set the facts straight, never one to steal unearned glory.
Though in an extended fight he wouldn't dread facing both Flood Dragons, the old one's escape stemmed chiefly from Yuan Qingque directing the Nine Heavens Morality Sect to shatter the Dingyuan Sea Suppressing Bead.
"It was tough on Junior Brother Da Kong to make it here at all..."
Right then, Yuan Qingque offered thanks to Da Kong True Monarch. Though delayed, the True Monarch had still shown up.
"Brother Xuan Tian is too gracious. This time, I got held up by the Demon Path's schemes." Da Kong True Monarch clearly worried Yuan Qingque might misjudge his tardiness, so he quickly clarified, "In East Li, the Jade Mirror Demon Sect offered up hundreds of thousands of lives in a blood ritual, plus captured righteous cultivators from earlier, to call forth the Blood Moon and boost Diao Xianlan's Divinity Transformation. I picked up on this from the border Immortal City and rushed to halt it, only to discover it was a trick to draw me off. Once I grasped the crisis here, I sped over without delay..."
Once Da Kong True Monarch wrapped up his explanation, Yuan Qingque gave a soft nod of comprehension, then asked with deep concern, "What's the current state of Diao Xianlan?"
Should the Demon Path claim another Spirit Transformation expert, it spelled trouble for the Righteous Path.
"Thanks to my arrival, I swiftly broke the Blood Moon Sacrifice, and my double rings pulverized Diao Xianlan's body. Yet her Nascent Soul shifted into a Blood God and fused with the Blood Moon overhead..."
Da Kong True Monarch recounted the events in East Li.
Among the Righteous Path in this realm, the Jade Mirror Demon Sect's Blood Moon Sacrifice carried a fearsome reputation.
It harnessed the essence from sacrificing countless lives to invoke the Blood Moon from beyond the stars, a legacy Dao Fruit from an ancient demon who fled this world ages ago, forging a pocket realm in Heaven Beyond Heavens to evade ascension to the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm.
Whenever enough living beings fueled the blood sacrifice, the Blood Moon would manifest, channeling the mighty Power of the Great Dao to propel Demon Path cultivators toward breakthroughs.
Naturally, within the Demon Path, every bargain hides a snare.
Post-breakthrough via the Blood Moon Sacrifice, the majority fell under the Blood Demon's sway, their minds shattered as they morphed into Blood Gods, enslaved to the ancient demon in the heavens beyond.
Just a rare handful could shatter that dominion and evolve into Blood Transformation Sky Demons.
"The Tianhe Realm stands on the brink of massive upheaval; the barriers to void cultivation will slowly dissolve, and soon those ancient demons wandering Heaven Beyond Heavens could invade the Tianhe Realm ahead of us..."
In that instant, Yuan Qingque shared startling intelligence that left Chen Mobai reeling.
"Oh, so the Upper Realm's mighty figures have agreed?"
Da Kong True Monarch clearly held some insider knowledge, being a Divinity Transformation cultivator from Taixu MiaoMiao Palace after all.
"Only awaiting the Generation Emperor to set the seal!"
With those words from Yuan Qingque, he offered no more details.
Chen Mobai itched to probe the actual truths of the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm, but Da Kong True Monarch was already taking his leave.
"My felicitations on your Spirit Transformation, young friend. East Li still has some unfinished matters demanding my attention, but once I'm free, let's meet up with Junior Brother Dustless for a grand feast."
As he departed, Da Kong True Monarch remembered to extend his congratulations to Chen Mobai.
"Sounds good."
After escorting Da Kong True Monarch away, Chen Mobai shifted his focus to connect with Ye Qing.
"Brother Ye, I'll head out now. Call on me anytime you require aid."
Ye Qing responded with a firm nod and said, "Thank you!"
"No need for such formalities between comrades."
Chen Mobai offered a light smile, extending his Divine Sense to pinpoint his target, then executed Void Teleportation, streaking off as a silver beam and disappearing in a flash.
This display caught Yuan Qingque off guard just a bit.
After all, the Void Instantaneous Movement Technique marked a signature art of Taixu MiaoMiao Palace.
Though the Void Law Body was common knowledge, as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Yuan Qingque grasped the Void far deeper than any Spirit Transformation practitioner. Chen Mobai's teleport lacked any haze or spark, outshining the basic Void-stepping method from the Void Law Body's arts.
Recalling Chen Mobai's entrance in the fray, where he had instantly emerged from the Void to rescue Ni Yuanzhong prior to Yuan Qingque's own move, the monk sensed a spark of astonishment.
He speculated whether Chen Mobai had also attained mastery over the Void Great Dao!
Should that prove true, given this junior's prodigious gifts, he could sail through to Harmonization without a single snag.
As an Ascended Monk, Yuan Qingque knew full well that void cultivation's gateway hinged on piercing the Void's veil.
With that thought, he decided the present he had in mind felt a tad lacking now.
Of course, Chen Mobai remained oblivious that his routine use of teleportation for journeys had only heightened Yuan Qingque's regard for him even more.
