I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2453 - 1093: Where Hearts Align

Dao Morale Sect.

Under Bai Wu Ancestor's guidance, the Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Burning Heaven Meridians assembled, their faces marked by deep concern.

Nature's spiritual energy nearby flowed like relentless waves, pouring steadily into the back mountain of the Dao Morale Sect. At their level of cultivation, they could easily detect that it surpassed what Nascent Soul Cultivators were able to process.

Putting all the pieces together, everyone realized it must be Sect Master Shenxi of the Dao Morale Sect breaking through to Immortality.

They perceived the grand Sixth Rank Spiritual Energy coursing through the peaks as if myriad streams converged in perfect harmony, confirming their suspicions beyond doubt.

Truly, no surprise that this stands as the ancient holy site of the East Continent.

Bai Wu Ancestor shared looks with the rest, each letting out a quiet sigh in their hearts.

Still, a shadow of worry lingered in their gazes.

Once Hong Yun secured the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, the Burning Heaven Meridians' joint mission in exploration wrapped up, leaving only a few disciples behind in the Dongling Domain while these Nascent Soul Ancestors headed back to their own domains much earlier.

Lately, word spread of the Eastern Wilderness Five Elements Sect's Sect Master reaching the God Transformation stage, stirring unrest among them all.

In truth, thanks to Bai Wu Ancestor's sway, Hong Yun had once mobilized the meridians to strike at the Five Elements Sect. Yet Ye Qing arrived bearing the Tai Peacekeeping Sword, scaring them off, and the issue remained unresolved.

By the traditions of the land, harboring killing intent marked one as a deadly foe.

Their biggest reliance, Hong Yun after claiming the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, had vanished without a trace, leaving them fearful that Chen Guixian would take advantage of their vulnerability.

Even though the Five Elements Sect Master enjoyed a reputation for righteousness, relying on someone's mercy for one's own safety could unsettle a cultivator's Dao Heart, potentially even sparking inner demons.

Thus, when Bai Wu Ancestor reached out to the group, suggesting they offer the Cleansing World Pot to fully merge into the Dao Morale Sect, they paused only briefly before consenting.

However, aware that the Dao Morale Sect focused mainly on aiding Shenxi's Divinity Transformation, they planned to wait and then declare their loyalty to Dustless True Monarch.

Before they could move forward with that, a message from the Dao Morale Sect reached them ahead of time.

It announced that Dustless True Monarch wished to see the Burning Heaven Meridians' delegates, naming all the meridian heads specifically.

Being called by a Divinity Transformation expert, they had no choice but to comply.

With Hong Yun from Fire Cloud Palace absent, the Second Elder Yanyang Master stood in attendance.

They had been talking in the chamber for a good while, fully aware this gathering served as the Dao Morale Sect's way to distance itself from any blame.

To demonstrate that Hong Yun's vanishing held no connection to the Dao Morale Sect.

Yet how exactly would they go about showing that?

In the midst of their bewilderment, a plain-appearing Daoist stepped inside.

The moment they spotted the Daoist, Bai Wu Ancestor and the other Nascent Soul Cultivators rose at once and bowed deeply, saying, "Greetings to Dustless True Monarch!"

"You've all arrived, excellent."

Dustless True Monarch swept his eyes over the Burning Heaven Meridians' Nascent Soul Cultivators, giving a slight nod, before drawing a pot from within his sleeve.

"This Cleansing World Pot was loaned earlier from your Burning Heaven Meridians for use in pill refining. With the alchemy flames now out, the moment has come to hand it back to you. Here, reclaim it."

Dustless True Monarch's words left Bai Wu Ancestor and the others frozen in shock right where they stood.

They had imagined countless scenarios, but none involved the Dao Morale Sect clearing its name through such a direct act.

People outside had whispered that the Dao Morale Sect coveted the Cleansing World Pot, the ultimate treasure of the Burning Heaven Meridians, and thus moved against Hong Yun. Yet now, by having Dustless True Monarch return the Cleansing World Pot, those tales fell apart in an instant.

This defies logic!

Could the Dao Morale Sect truly hold no interest in the Cleansing World Pot?

From their own perspectives, Bai Wu Ancestor and companions failed to grasp why the Dao Morale Sect would let go of such a prized item already in their grasp.

They understood well that the Cleansing World Pot held priceless worth for Fire Attribute cultivators and served as a peerless tool for Alchemists. What's more, thorough examination of it could offer key defenses against the fire calamities of the Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulation.

Had they been in Dustless True Monarch's shoes, they would grab the chance to claim the Cleansing World Pot, reputation be damned.

Yanyang Master opened his mouth to say something, but once Dustless True Monarch set the Cleansing World Pot down, he simply turned and drifted out of the hall.

The Burning Heaven Meridians' Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't dream of blocking a Divinity Transformation powerhouse; they only watched his departure, trading uneasy glances.

"So... should we go ahead with swearing loyalty?"

Following a heavy quiet, Fire Wan Master of Lie Yang Pavilion voiced the question uncertainly.

"It's obvious they have no desire for our allegiance—that's precisely why they gave the item back!"

Yanyang Master snapped back in frustration at the words.

"Then what course do we take now?"

A touch of urgency colored Bai Wu Ancestor's voice. Within the Burning Heaven Meridians, his Sun Bathing Sea alone bore grudges against the Five Elements Sect, whereas the other four might prefer steering clear of complications, figuring the upright leader wouldn't come after them.

"We should first share out the Cleansing World Pot..."

Zixuan Master of Chi Xiao Mansion cut in. The Burning Heaven Meridians never formed a tight bond, and right from the beginning, he opposed helping Hong Yun get the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, though pressure forced his hand.

With Hong Yun out of the picture now, and the chance to recover the Pot Ring his mansion had stored, he viewed this as the ideal resolution.

"Now that the treasure pot stands complete once more, I propose we avoid splitting it up. Instead, let the meridians rotate in guarding it at most..."

Jingchi Master from Chi Yan Sect put forth the suggestion. Although their meridian held no share in the Cleansing World Pot itself, they alone owned the Sacramental Refinement Mantra, which they provided alongside Sun Bathing Sea on this occasion.

As such, he opposed any plan to divide the pot.
