I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2455 - 1093: Where Every Heart Points (Part 3)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
This seems like the opening of a story, where in the later eras of the Burning Heaven Meridians, a disciple with talent as incredible as his could emerge, soaring to prominence at the magic duel conference, claiming the top prize, gaining the Cleansing World Pot's approval, then merging the five meridians and reviving the Burning Heaven Pure Land, and beyond...
Having envisioned such a cultivation tale, Chen Mobai viewed this development as a positive gain for himself.
Indeed, for a supreme artifact like the Cleansing World Pot, prolonged dispersal could erode its artifact spirit's power.
In times ahead, should the Five Elements Sect stumble upon a fire-type true spirit such as the Golden Flame Manticore during explorations, it would prove invaluable.
The Burning Heaven Meridians would doubtless agree to lend it out!
Following his parting with Cannon Dragon and Cooking Phoenix, Chen Mobai received a visit from a Nascent Soul Elder called Zhong Yuewen of the Dao Morale Sect.
The Dao Morale Sect arrived to celebrate Chen Mobai's divinity transformation, and while their offering wasn't as lavish as the Nine Heavens Morality Sect's, it consisted of a vial of fifth rank elixir crafted by the Dustless True Monarch, designed to steady the realm and even boost cultivation progress, tailored for those in the initial phase of divinity transformation.
To Chen Mobai, this elixir held little direct value, yet it could serve well when those close to him attempted their own divinity transformations.
"Kindly convey my deepest gratitude to Senior Dustless!"
Once Chen Mobai received the gift, thoughts turned to what he might offer in return.
After all, Cannon Dragon and Cooking Phoenix had noted that signs of the deity transformation tribulation were gathering over the Dao Morale Sect's mountain gate, suggesting Shenxi's breakthrough was imminent.
Would a pound of Enlightenment Tea suffice? Or perhaps task Qing Nu with brewing a fifth rank elixir, using the chance to elevate Danxia Pavilion's standing across the East Land?
As Chen Mobai mulled these options, Zhong Yuewen presented a sealed letter.
"This comes from my master, addressed to the True Monarch."
Intrigued, Chen Mobai accepted it, his brows furrowing faintly as he scanned the contents.
The missive detailed a major gathering in the Central State.
Every six centuries, the Sacred Dao Conference unfolds at the Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest, inviting deities from Holy Lands throughout the Tianhe Realm. At this event, the participants exchange the finest resources from the Tianhe Realm, with instances of seventh rank heavenly and earthly treasures making appearances.
On the flip side, lacking the official invitation from the Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest renders a Holy Land's title little more than a private boast, unrecognized by fellow Holy Lands spanning the Five Continents and Four Seas of the Tianhe Realm.
The Five Elements Sect wouldn't receive an invite at present, but the Dustless True Monarch proposed collaborating with Da Kong True Monarch to explore shifting the Holy Land status of Yi Yuan Dao Palace over to the Five Elements Sect.
Given that Yi Yuan and Five Elements share the same heritage.
The current ascent of the Five Elements Sect represents a rightful realignment.
The upcoming Sacred Dao Conference lies exactly sixty years distant, a full cycle away, when the Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest typically dispatches its worldwide envoy to deliver invitations to Holy Lands across the Five Continents and Four Seas.
Upon finishing the letter, Chen Mobai remained unmoved.
If recognition eludes them, no matter; his Five Elements Sect stands as a Holy Land in the Eastern Continent regardless.
Acquiring further validation from the Five Continents and Four Seas of the Tianhe Realm brings him scant real advantages. He hasn't even dominated the Eastern Continent's markets yet.
Maybe later, once the Eastern Continent's resources cease to fuel his growth, Chen Mobai might eye expansion into wider realms.
For the moment, focusing on resource accumulation feels wiser.
Besides, in Holy Land validations, true power remains the deciding element.
Once the Five Elements Sect nurtures a second or third God-Transcending cultivator down the line, no promotional efforts will be needed—the Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest would probably journey to the Eastern Continent on their own to affirm the Five Elements Sect's Holy Land status.
That said, with the Dustless True Monarch's kind gesture in mind, Chen Mobai, after absorbing the letter's message, took up his brush to compose a courteous reply brimming with appreciation.
"Kindly deliver this to Senior Dustless."
Zhong Yuewen received it reverently with both hands. Chen Mobai saw him off at the entrance personally, then directed Gu Yan to guide him to the teleportation array.
With the Dao Morale Sect's visit concluded, the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace naturally followed suit, as Zhang Pankong arrived in person to extend his felicitations.
In contrast to Ye Qing, who now oversees the Nine Heavens Morality Sect with heavy duties, Zhang Pankong enjoyed far greater leisure; thus, Chen Mobai entertained him warmly in the Eastern Wilderness for three full days, offering Enlightenment Tea at every turn.
"True Monarch, this treasure holds immense commercial promise. Entrust the areas beyond the Eastern Continent to me; any resources you seek, I can help procure by contacting Taoist Child Saintesses from Holy Lands in diverse states—they'll eagerly trade for it."
The moment Zhang Pankong sipped the Enlightenment Tea, its worth shone clear in his mind, his eyes lighting up with excitement.
"Oh, I'd gladly agree, but output remains quite constrained..."
Chen Mobai did possess a reserve of several dozen pounds, yet rarity amplifies worth. Even so, he planned to tap into the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace's network for sourcing materials to his benefit.
To elevate the Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern, its wick already incorporated the Sun God Tree's heartwood, but the remaining components lacked sufficient supplementary elements.
He sought no sixth rank items, just top-tier fifth rank ones.
With his refined artifact forging skills, Chen Mobai felt assured that a full array of superior fifth rank materials would enable him to forge a lower sixth rank Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern.
"Such items are likely in the possession of the Mysterious Fire Sect in the Southern State; I'll make inquiries on your behalf upon my return." After savoring three days of complimentary Enlightenment Tea, Zhang Pankong eagerly embraced Chen Mobai's requests, "The Burning Heaven Meridians could have some as well, though I'm unsure..."
The Taixu MiaoMiao Palace maintains outposts across every continent, granting them keen insight into which powers in the Tianhe Realm control heavenly and earthly treasures.
