I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2469 - 1098: The Undertaking of Ten Thousand Generations (Part 2)

Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Chen Mobai stunned the Deity Transformation True Monarchs by announcing a permanent solution to the Immortal Gate's millennia-old spiritual energy shortage through the Yi Yuan True Qi and Primordial Bead cultivation method. Eager to disseminate the technique, the monarchs agreed to join his lineage as disciples, identifying Elder Qing Ping's balanced Five Elements Spiritual Roots as ideal for its practice. They summoned Qing Ping and Yuan Xu to the hall, where the revelation sparked awe, prompting Qing Ping to pledge himself to the method under Chen Mobai's guidance as a senior brother in the lineage.

After that, Qi Yuheng along with everyone else there formally called Chen Mobai their senior brother in a ceremonial manner.

Through this ritual, Chen Mobai ended up holding the top position in terms of seniority.

A sense of discomfort stirred within him because of it.

Considering that all those around him were at least double his years in age.

Yet, within the Immortal Gate, superior skills take precedence over age; little emphasis is placed on hierarchy, which allowed Chen Mobai to adapt swiftly and start instructing them on the Yi Yuan Dao Scripture.

All those gathered were elite cultivators from the Immortal Gate, boasting exceptional insight and innate gifts.

Even though the Yi Yuan Dao Scripture proved profound and challenging to grasp, thanks to Chen Mobai's detailed instructions and clarifications, the group grasped the basics without much trouble.

Right after Chen Mobai showed the technique, Elder Qing Ping promptly succeeded in forming the Primordial True Qi.

The essence of it rested in harmonizing the Five Elements Spiritual Power, and Elder Qing Ping, having devoted his life to Five Elements Cultivation, already possessed flawless command over the Five Elements Spiritual Power.

Following Elder Qing Ping's accomplishment, Narcissus and Cheng Xuan likewise managed to cultivate their initial strand of Primordial True Qi with Chen Mobai's direction, beginning from the water and fire True Qi and adhering to the Five Elements' cycle of generation.

Yuan Xu followed suit next, using his Guidance Book's simulation to mentally form Primordial True Qi once he learned the precise method, thus becoming the fourth to succeed.

Qi Yuheng and Yunhai trailed behind, yet they broke through and began cultivating by the third day.

"Looks like I have no chance of mastering it!"

Gazing at the Primordial True Qi resting in his hand, Qi Yuheng experienced a touch of disappointment.

While perfecting the Primordial Bead could impose perpetual duties on the Immortal Gate, the power to convert Void All-phenomenon into Spiritual Energy meant they could explore the vast cosmos without fear of running out of Spiritual Energy.

For that reason, each person truly yearned to acquire and perfect this skill.

"It’s alright, we still have plenty of lifespan. After solving the Spiritual Energy issue, we can survive the upcoming war on Ming Wang Star and have enough time to comprehend and cultivate this."

Yunhai stayed remarkably positive, aware that reaching Divinity Transformation vastly extended one's life, and additional intake of Big Tree Immortal Fruit might grant yet another four hundred and eighty years.

Given all that extra time at their disposal, he was confident that he could one day perfect the Primordial Bead by employing the Heaven-Mending Immortality Technique to reshape his Spiritual Root.

Qi Yuheng gave a subtle nod, and just then, Elder Qing Ping abruptly released fine blue strands from his form, encircling him akin to a massive yarn cocoon.

Witnessing this spectacle, Chen Mobai and the rest displayed clear delight.

"It seems Qing Ping has overcome the barrier and achieved final integration with the Fruit of Dao’s Rule!"

Being the Immortal Gate's deepest expert on the Taoist Laws Sure-book, Chen Mobai recognized the phenomenon instantly.

Previously, Qing Ping's affinity for the Fruit of Dao’s Rule had been exceptionally strong, yet short of full perfection. As he neared completion, the hurdles grew steeper, so while his breakthrough was anticipated by all, full certainty had eluded them.

What's more, an earlier success would have forced Qi Yuheng to grapple with reallocating the Immortal Gate's Spiritual Energy resources.

Luckily, Chen Mobai had now conquered the Primordial Bead.

"Once Qing Ping refines the rules, I’ll use the Heaven-Mending Immortality Technique to improve his Spiritual Root, allowing him to reverse-engineer Yi Yuan True Qi from his Divinity Transformation Realm, and he will quickly master the Primordial Bead."

Having Qing Ping serve in his place freed Chen Mobai from obligations to the Immortal Gate. As he observed Qing Ping merging with the Fruit of Dao’s Rule, a grin spread across Chen Mobai's face.

"Very good, but Qing Ping refining the rules and condensing Yi Yuan True Qi to achieve the Primordial Bead will take considerable time. Before that, I can try to make targeted modifications to the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation to run with the Primordial Bead as its core!"

At these words, Yunhai recalled the impending war of establishment, pondering Ming Wang Star and the dreadful Death God, and resolved to harness the opportunity by fusing the Primordial Bead's might with the Spiritual Pivot across the Immortal Gate’s Thirty-six Heavens and Seventy-two Blessed Lands.

This undertaking represented a major overhaul effort too. Still, upon finishing it, the Immortal Gate's overall strength would soar to new heights.

Take the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon, for example—it had formerly managed just a single blast at its second stage, draining every bit of stored Spiritual Energy from the Immortal Gate’s Spiritual Pivots in one go.

Integrating the Primordial Bead might enable it to charge up for another firing, or amplify a single shot's destructive force to horrifying degrees.

"This matter will trouble Yunhai True Monarch. If any infrastructure needs to be redesigned, Yuan Xu, please assist."

Chen Mobai nodded in agreement upon hearing the request. To maintain control over Spiritual Energy, the Immortal Gate had laid pipelines throughout Earth Element Star, linking with the Void Spiritual Energy Package to encompass every cultivator.

Adapting the system now to center on the Primordial Bead would demand vast amounts of time and effort. Yuan Xu’s Guidance Book capability could prove invaluable here, by modeling the quickest and least wasteful approach to the changes.

Yuan Xu readily took on the task.

"This matter requires unified planning, coordinating several departments. Should a new department be established by the Three Great Halls to handle this?" Qi Yuheng asked Chen Mobai.

"Let it be managed by the Sky Curtain Ground Network Management Bureau. After all, the Primordial Bead serves this large formation. However, since Yunhai True Monarch has already undergone Divinity Transformation and it’s a special war time, perhaps True Monarch can oversee it for a while."

Chen Mobai voiced his ideas, explaining that the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation formed the Immortal Gate's backbone, tasked with delivering Spiritual Energy to innumerable lives. For Lingxiao Palace to unleash the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon, it would need to unlock the Spiritual Pivots of every Cave Heaven Blessed Land via this very bureau.

A department of such vital importance ought ideally to fall under the supervision of a Divinity Transformation expert.

"It’s an honor for me!"

Yunhai True Monarch declared it his responsibility.

Listening to Chen Mobai, Qi Yuheng retrieved the Rank-5 Heavenly Calculation Bead and handed it over to Yunhai officially before the assembly. Yunhai accepted it with grave respect, using both hands.

This came together with Qian Xing’s insights into the grand formation.

Qi Yuheng had previously shared this segment with Chen Mobai, encompassing a Sixth Rank Array Master's wisdom alongside fragments of Seven-stage Celestial River and Star Array legacy.

Viewed as a secret imparting reserved for Divinity Transformation cultivators, Qi Yuheng had intended for Chen Mobai to inherit the Rank-5 Heavenly Calculation Bead and oversight of the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation upon his own attainment of Divinity Transformation, owing to Chen Mobai's superior mastery in arrays.

However, with Yunhai, the array specialist, now elevated to Divinity Transformation True Monarch status, Chen Mobai chose to delegate this power to him.

In truth, after reaching Divinity Transformation, Chen Mobai faced numerous paths forward, while Yunhai True Monarch's focus remained solely on this Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation.

Yunhai fully understood the situation.

Deep down, he harbored thanks toward Chen Mobai.

"In addition, should Yi Yuan True Qi’s cultivation method be heavily promoted in all Daoist Academy and Scholarly Mansion institutions within the Immortal Gate?"

At last, Qi Yuheng posed the inquiry.

Since they would one day depart from Earth Element Star, the coming generations had to learn to wield the Primordial Bead.

"Let’s keep it confidential for now since there are still some Ascension Sect informants within the Immortal Gate. Let’s discuss it after the establishment war."

Chen Mobai shook his head, turning down the proposal.

"However, the Three Great Halls can order that Five Elements Cultivation be a required cultivation technique for all students. If anyone is found with extraordinary talent in this technique, they could be recruited early into university for training. If they can achieve Core Formation, they might receive the Yi Yuan True Qi, and I might personally guide them."

Chen Mobai offered this addition—given how widespread Five Elements Cultivation already was across the Immortal Gate, such an order wouldn't raise alarms with the Ascension Sect.

"Which university should lead? Should a new university be founded?"

Cheng Xuan had to inquire, knowing the Primordial Bead's immense importance meant it couldn't be taught publicly like the Mysterious Sound Wonderful Method Dao Seed, open to rivalry among all Daoist Academies and Scholarly Mansions.

Naturally, Cheng Xuan desired this advantage for the Dance Tool Dao Academy.

"The Primordial Elemental Academy, and Qing Ping will handle this matter moving forward."

In that instant, Chen Mobai viewed matters on a grander scale.

Having attained Divinity Transformation, he seamlessly stepped into leadership over the Immortal Gate.
