I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2447 - 1091_3
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
In the past, numerous Nascent Soul Elders believed her talent fell short, assuming she ascended to Saintess solely through the Yuan family's influence, and they nursed considerable bitterness. Yet, upon grasping the full reality, a wave of shame washed over them all.
Becoming the Saintess, it appeared, meant making a profound sacrifice.
Their error lay in the misunderstanding.
Yuan Zhen offered polite nods to the elders in response to their bows, then took her seat next to Ye Qing.
"Here's the list of gifts we talked about earlier. Check if anything more should be included?"
Ni Yuanzhong passed a sheet from the Jade Scroll to Yuan Zhen. He'd consumed a rare pill from the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Sect that briefly held his wounds at bay. Once the fallout settled, he'd enter closed-door cultivation.
Having reached Spirit Transformation, he was free from the duties of Sect Master any longer.
Luckily, with a promising talent like Ye Qing, Ni Yuanzhong felt complete confidence.
At this point, most issues stood resolved; just Chen Mobai’s token of gratitude lingered.
Yuan Zhen swiftly scanned the Jade Scroll, noting its array of scarce herbs. From what she recalled, these came from the Five Elements Commerce Association's ongoing buys in the East Land for outsiders. Being at least mid-tier, they'd amassed only a handful across the years.
The Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Sect, drawing on the Holy Land's deep roots and reach, had managed to secure nearly every one this round.
Still, Yuan Zhen sensed it fell a bit short.
After all, the top treasures there were just some Rank-5 herbs, offering little value to a Spirit Transformation powerhouse like Chen Mobai.
"I recall our sect’s treasury holds a chunk of Rank-6 Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder Metal. Since Chen Mobai ranks as the premier Artifact Refiner in the East Continent, presenting this as the key gift would really highlight our sect’s genuine intent!"
Yuan Zhen sealed the Jade Scroll and shared her idea.
Astonishment lit up the faces of those around at her words.
"That came from the third generation ascended ancestor."
"The Tai Peacekeeping Sword got forged using its twin, Nine Heavens Immortal Qing Shi, boosting it from low-grade to mid-grade..."
"This shows way too much sincerity!"
For a long-standing holy land like the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Sect, spanning millennia, Rank-6 spiritual treasures remained scarce, and Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder Metal stood among the elite.
The third generation ancestor had seized it amid his Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulation while forming the Dharma Aspect, as two lumps of Immortal Gold plummeted from the Upper Realm. The Nine Heavens Immortal Qing Shi, aligning perfectly with the Tai Peacekeeping Sword’s essence, got lent to a Southern State Spirit Transformation Artifact Refiner for upgrading.
That refiner even hit Sixth Rank thanks to it.
The leftover Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder Metal would've followed suit, except it clashed with the sect’s cultivation methods.
Now, it served as a prized emblem in the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Sect’s vault.
Parting with it would stir unease among plenty of Nascent Soul Elders.
In truth, Rank-7 Immortal Spirit Qi could build up gradually, thanks to the Tongtian Refining Road Tower and the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Ancestor in the Upper Realm.
But only a single piece of Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder Metal existed, and once handed over, it'd vanish forever.
"Old Ancestor, what's your take?"
A Nascent Soul Elder turned to Ni Yuanzhong for guidance.
Post-tribulation, Yuan Zhen’s standing in the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Sect had shifted dramatically, placing her just below Ni Yuanzhong and Ye Qing, the incoming Sect Master. To challenge her view, only they held the sway.
Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen had matured side by side and shared tight bonds with Chen Mobai; his quiet demeanor clearly signaled support.
Now, the choice rested with Ni Yuanzhong, the Spirit Transformation elder.
"Include it!"
Ni Yuanzhong uttered just those two words.
As a God-Transcending expert, he grasped Chen Mobai’s might more keenly than any other.
Fresh into Spirit Transformation yet claiming such terrifying feats, he'd surely climb to its pinnacle, perhaps even ascend one day.
Besides, the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Sect owed Chen Mobai a heavy debt this time. If this Rank-6 Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder Metal could settle it, Ni Yuanzhong considered it a bargain.
It'd also spare future disciples from yielding to the Five Elements Sect over this affair.
With Ni Yuanzhong's approval, the decision stood firm and unchangeable.
"On the Immortal Spirit Qi front, could our junior ask the sect brother to check with Mr. Chen during the gift delivery, to gauge if he'd consider refining in our Tongtian Refining Road Tower?"
With this final vital issue wrapped up, Ni Yuanzhong drew out a dark Jade Seal before the gathered Nascent Soul Elders and offered it to Ye Qing.
"From this moment, the sect falls to you, junior brother!"
Ye Qing stood with gravity, approached Ni Yuanzhong, and accepted the black Jade Seal using both hands.
Grasping the seal marked him as the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Sect's Sect Master.
By Holy Land customs, a lavish rite ought to proclaim this to every power across the East Continent.
But given the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Sect's present turmoil, no lavish events fit; they kept things modest. The handover stayed internal, with notices sent only to peer Holy Lands and their East Land allies.
As new Sect Master, Ye Qing's initial duty involved assembling the Jade Scroll's gifts and journeying to the Eastern Wilderness.
Yuan Zhen yearned to join, yet she had to grasp this fleeting chance to bolster her power.
To unleash her utmost might when Yuan Qingque arrived, her Taoist Body had been pushed to Rank-5 heights by force. With his exit, that level began its gradual fade.
So Yuan Zhen devoted these days to cultivation on the Tongtian Refining Road Tower's peak.
She pushed to anchor her Fifth Rank Forged Body state and intensify the Nine Heavens Dao Fruit's forging in this potent phase.
