I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2448 - 1091: (Part 4)

She was fully aware that this chance stood as an unprecedented event throughout the ten-thousand-year legacy of the Nine Heavens Morality Sect.

She stood as the initial figure who held back from any moves when the Upper Realm Immortal Venerate made his arrival.

Should she seize this chance to attain Divinity Transformation, securing a lifespan of two thousand years, it was possible she might even endure longer than Qing Nu.

With a forward-looking mindset, Yuan Zhen clenched her teeth, pouring in the utmost diligence during this period—the most intense effort of her entire existence.

...

Eastern Wilderness.

The already thronged Northern Abyss City had grown even more vibrant and lively in recent days.

Following Chen Mobai’s triumph in Divinity Transformation, real estate values within this Immortal City had skyrocketed several times higher.

Cultivators holding properties in Northern Abyss City had never dreamed that such a path could multiply their fortunes manifold.

Shen Shanqing, having shifted his primary business to real estate, had even persuaded the two elders, Cannon Dragon and Cooking Phoenix, to dive into the property market alongside their restaurant ventures, boldly claiming that housing costs in Northern Abyss City would surge at least tenfold over the coming century.

After all, this served as the core Immortal City of the Five Elements Sect, and considering Chen Mobai’s expertise in formations, it held potential for elevation to a Sixth Rank Spirit Vein down the line.

Cannon Dragon and Cooking Phoenix carried out a thorough market check and directly observed how home prices in Northern Abyss City exploded within a single month, climbing beyond the combined worth of a hundred Sky Meal Buildings, leaving them to lament not snapping up more holdings.

With Chen Mobai’s Divinity Transformation breakthrough, virtually all Nascent Soul Forces from East Land dispatched envoys bearing gifts while also snapping up properties.

In the face of potential fresh clashes between Righteous and Demon Forces across East Land, this place offered a secure haven.

Even Dao Morale Sect and Nine Heavens Morality Sect would hesitate to interfere.

After all, this realm fell under the domain of Immortal Venerate Chen.

The influx of more than a hundred Nascent Soul forces from East Land played a key role in driving Northern Abyss City’s housing prices to dizzying heights.

Beyond just Northern Abyss City, every Immortal City governed by the Five Elements Sect—even the farthest-flung like East Wu—saw property values climbing each day.

E Yun reveled in the greatest joy, as the Five Elements Sect’s coffers swelled by billions of Spirit Stones from real estate deals in only one month.

Not merely the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect, but the whole East Continent had never witnessed anything like this phenomenon.

"Sect Master, even if we raided a major Spirit Stone Mine and extracted it ourselves, the flood of Spirit Stones couldn’t match this speed!"

E Yun rushed to share this thrilling update with Chen Mobai, drawing on a striking comparison.

"Wealth stirs the ambitions of many; have Yu Lian bolster defenses across all Immortal Cities to ward off any rogue cultivators stirring trouble."

Chen Mobai responded with a composed demeanor, since the Immortal Gate had weathered similar booms before, which had evolved into full-blown real estate bubbles.

Besides, for him personally, ordinary Spirit Stones carried minimal value, with just Supreme Grade ones meriting space in a Storage Bag.

Yet for fellow cultivators, this fortune promised enduring stability through life.

In Northern Abyss City, boasting the densest gathering of high-rank cultivators from the Five Elements Sect, worries were unnecessary, but in distant Immortal Cities like East Wu, East Barbarians, and the Ruins zones, rogue cultivators might resort to rash measures.

After all, under Chen Mobai’s fresh directives, the bulk of Spirit Stones from property dealings in each Immortal City stayed on-site to fuel local growth.

"Understood, Sect Master. It’s an ideal moment to send out the sect’s Golden Core cultivators for guard duty, keeping them from idling in Northern Abyss City." E Yun absorbed the words and nodded in full agreement.

As the heart of Eastern Wilderness, Northern Abyss City overflowed with unmatched resources, bolstered by its Fifth Rank Spirit Vein, drawing most idle Golden Core cultivators of the Five Elements Sect to linger there absent pressing duties.

Once E Yun departed, Yin Qingmei made her way back from Dongling Immortal City.

Though the reclamation efforts persisted, the announcement of Chen Mobai’s Divinity Transformation success had electrified every member of the Five Elements Sect. Lacking a direct Teleportation Array, however, she could only step in as representative at this point.

"Congratulations, Sect Master, on reaching Divinity Transformation and claiming a two-thousand-year lifespan!"

Flanked by Gu Yan, Yin Qingmei offered her formal congratulations, and Chen Mobai grinned while bidding her to stand, then probed into the affairs of the Dongling Domain.

His ascent to Divinity Transformation had unfolded so swiftly that the deadline for the final half-pill swap of the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, as fixed by Dustless True Monarch, remained distant, so Xing Ji and Earth Virtue pressed on, guiding disciples in pursuing Ruin Monsters.

Among them, Earth Virtue struck remarkable luck, clashing with a mid-fourth rank Golden-Backed Ape Monkey deep in the Ruins, where he unleashed the Primordial Dao Fruit to manifest Yi Yuan Dao Body and fell it, edging ahead of Xing Ji.

Still, Xing Ji advanced with reliable strides, while escorting Star Heaven Dao Sect’s Nascent Soul cultivators further into the Ruins, gearing up to target fourth rank beasts as well.

This rivalry could only settle in the closing moments.

"Are they still locked in competition?"

Chen Mobai caught the details and paused briefly.

Did this imply that Red Cloud’s ambush came from elsewhere, not them?

If it had been their doing, each would surely hold a Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, prearranged to sidestep such cutthroat rivalry.

Then who might it be?

Red Cloud wielded formidable cultivation prowess, and for him to vanish without a trace, could it involve... Divinity Transformation!?

This thought led Chen Mobai to ponder Dustless True Monarch.

Adapting to local ways, this figure emerged as the prime suspect.

Yet through a handful of encounters with Dustless True Monarch, Chen Mobai recognized that while this elder lacked impeccable virtue, he embodied true righteousness and likely wouldn’t stoop to such deeds.

In that instant, Chen Mobai felt a ripple in his heart and spirit.

He detected Ye Qing’s approach.

"Have Brother Ye come in!"

Chen Mobai directed Gu Yan, and Ye Qing appeared through the grand Transmission Array, joined by two fellow Nascent Soul Complete cultivators.

These must rank as the top three in the Nine Heavens Morality Sect beyond Divinity Transformation.

"Brother Chen!"

Ye Qing stepped into the grand hall with Gu Yan, beaming as he called out.

"Take a seat. Might I learn the names of these two Dao friends?"

Chen Mobai returned the smile before turning his eyes to the richly attired middle-aged man and the silver-haired elder beside Ye Qing.

"Wu Tianchi (Yuan Huanghu), it’s an honor to meet Immortal Ancestor Chen!"

Without waiting for Ye Qing’s introduction, they promptly named themselves and bowed profoundly to Chen Mobai.

"I’ve long known of your esteemed reputations; please, sit!"

Chen Mobai recognized the leading Nascent Soul cultivators of the Nine Heavens Morality Sect, particularly Yuan Huanghu, who led the Yuan family as Yuan Qingque’s grand-nephew.

"Our thanks, Immortal Ancestor Chen. This is a token from our sect—kindly accept it!"

Yuan Huanghu offered a Storage Bag with reverent hands.

"How could I possibly take this...?"

Chen Mobai courteously refused,
