I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2457 - 1094:

"It's always been one single lineage; how could there possibly be any notion of abandoning the shadows for the radiance."

While aiding Xiao Yuli, Chen Mobai had thoroughly examined the state of her body right then.

"This Blood Spirit Demon Light proves rather intriguing. I possess two approaches to eradicate it fully—let's see which one fits you best..."

Xiao Yuli's expression brightened with delight at Chen Mobai's statement. One must realize that while in the East Land, she'd sought advice from numerous Nascent Soul Cultivators, yet none offered more than temporary relief against Diao Xianlan's Blood Spirit Demon Light.

Truly worthy of a Deity Transformation True Monarch!

"Option one involves my direct intervention to shatter this Blood Spirit Demon Light by force, though a portion of your Essence has already been drawn in and transformed by it, resulting in an irreversible drain on that segment of your core."

"Option two employs the might of my Primordial Bead to confine this mass of Blood Spirit Demon Light, shielding you from its influence. Afterward, I'll impart a Secret Technique that, paired with your Primordial True Qi, allows gradual refinement and recovery through sustained cultivation."

"The first brings swift results; soon, my wife can brew certain foundational elixirs to perhaps offset only a fraction of your past grueling toil. The second takes more time, yet spares any loss to your origin; should your aptitude shine brightly, you might even grasp nuances of my Spirit Transformation Stage's Primordial True Qi, paving the way for your path ahead!"

Xiao Yuli opted for the second option right after Chen Mobai concluded his explanation, without a moment's doubt.

With the expected reply in hand, Chen Mobai gave a subtle nod before pointing his finger to sketch a talisman through the air, inscribing it straight into her Dantian Qi Sea.

The instant this talisman merged into her form, Xiao Yuli sensed the Primordial True Qi from her centuries of arduous practice surging to life completely, weaving into a five-hued web inside that pulled out every strand of the tormenting Blood Spirit Demon Light from her body and locked it down utterly.

Shortly thereafter, a tiny crimson orb, encased in five-colored glow, materialized within her Dantian Qi Sea.

"Memorize this well—it's an advanced utilization of Primordial True Qi!"

Chen Mobai now revealed the technique he'd devised specifically for Xiao Yuli's plight, drawing on the Law of the Five Tones. Su Ziluo prepared to depart so as not to overhear, but he halted her, clarifying that this offhand creation held no secrets.

Regrettably, the pair viewed such feats as standard for a Deity Transformation True Monarch, leaving them unsurprised.

"My deepest gratitude for the profound Dao granted by the Sect Master!"

With the Blood Spirit Demon Light fully contained, Xiao Yuli experienced a lightness like never before, akin to casting off a long-endured affliction.

In voicing her thanks, she felt profound remorse for departing Northern Abyss City earlier. Had she surrendered outright back then, she could have escaped all that pain.

"Per the sect's traditions, once you form your Nascent Soul, you as Saintess may claim the role of Palace Master or Great Elder. The Great Elder spot is held by Earth Virtue at present, while the Palace Master seat stands empty—I deem you perfectly suited for it."

Here, Chen Mobai disclosed why he hadn't drawn Xiao Yuli into the Five Elements Sect directly.

Though the Five Elements Sect has supplanted Yi Yuan Dao Palace as East Continent's fourth major Holy Land, even a weakened giant outmatches a mule; Yi Yuan Dao Palace retains vast resources across the East Land.

Should Chen Mobai claim the Primordial Clock someday, he could position Yi Yuan Dao Palace as an extension of the Five Elements Sect, steadily broadening its reach in the East Land over time.

Central to this, the East Land requires a fitting overseer.

Chen Lingming was his preferred choice naturally, but Xiao Yuli's loyalty would serve even better.

It would be ideal to transfer the Primordial Clock to the Five Elements Sect under her banner.

"As the Sect Master decrees!"

Quick-witted as she was, Xiao Yuli grasped Chen Mobai's unspoken intent at once, responding without delay.

"Rest well for now. The sect could stir a bit over your ascension to Palace Master; I'll go with you shortly."

A smile crossed Chen Mobai's lips as he spoke, and Su Ziluo swiftly escorted Xiao Yuli from the chamber.

Before long, Chen Mobai called for Chen Lingming.

Viewing Yi Yuan Dao Palace merely as a subsidiary, Chen Mobai worried that lingering dissenters might plot against her, making him wary of her traveling solo.

"I shall follow the Sect Master's orders faithfully!"

Chen Lingming declared with profound deference.

"Here are my realizations on forming the Primordial Bead post-divinity; accept it and study deeply..."

Chen Mobai customarily painted an appealing vision to inspire before delegating duties, and he offered such a boon now as well.

Chen Lingming took the Jade Slip eagerly, his respect deepening further.

Following that, Chen Mobai dispatched a missive in his own name to Yi Yuan Dao Palace in the East Land, declaring his forthcoming arrival at Mount Wudi.

The message's arrival plunged Yi Yuan Dao Palace into turmoil.

Upon Mount Wudi, Mountain Lords Wood Virtue and Water Virtue, joined by Lian Shui who watched over Yi Yuan Immortal City—three Nascent Soul experts in all—wrestled with anxiety and concern.

Wood Virtue: "What are we to do at this point?"

Water Virtue: "Chen Turtle Immortal has ascended to divinity and mastered the Primordial Bead; our united power amounts to little more than a fleeting puff against him."

Lian Shui: "I've dispatched word to Dongling Domain already. Given the Sect Master's divine status, only Senior Brother Earth Virtue might arrive to receive him properly."

No sooner had Lian Shui uttered this than Wood Virtue and Water Virtue turned their stares toward him.

This fellow hasn't even shown up, yet he's dubbing him Sect Master already?

Lian Shui: "Ahem, should the two Mountain Lords disagree, I could recall the Message Talisman..."
