I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2470 - 1099: Each Fulfills Their Duty
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
The majority of troubles in the Immortal Gate arise from insufficient spiritual energy.
Yet certain challenges demand an even greater abundance of spiritual energy to overcome.
Consider the scarcity of resources, for instance.
Elixirs like the Foundation Establishment Trithings, Golden Liquid Jade Pill, Five Elements Golden Core Pill, Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine, and others that Immortal Sect disciples crave most, face limitations due to rare medicinal herbs, forcing the sect to set strict exchange conditions and raise barriers.
However, with ample spiritual energy available, the Immortal Gate's vast medicinal farms could cultivate plants freely, free from worries about them withering from energy shortages.
Although the Immortal Gate possesses techniques to accelerate the growth of spiritual plants, herbs requiring thousands or tens of thousands of years to mature must still endure long waits.
That said, if the elders of today planted the seeds of these herbs, they would bequeath a legacy of hope to those who come after.
The deceased deified monarchs of the immortal sects have bequeathed their personal domains. While these might not rival the grandeur of the small realms owned by the Four Great Daoist Sects, they remain substantial, spanning areas comparable to multiple Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands.
In the past, lacking spiritual energy, most of these domains stayed sealed; the rare few that remained open served merely as storage depots or hidden outposts.
For example, vital war artifacts of the Immortal Gate—such as the Lingxiao Palace, the Four Symbols Dao Palace, the star space battleship, and more—were housed within the domain inherited from the True Monarch of Xuanwu.
Now, with spiritual energy in plenty, these sealed small realms can be awakened, allowing the immediate planting of crucial seeds like those of the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom.
This project, of course, needs a dedicated overseer.
But among those gathered here, nobody possessed expertise in spiritual plants.
"With sufficient spiritual energy at hand, the seals on the Peach Blossom Sage's true form should be removable too. Given the dangers of the looming war, her successful advancement would bring immense advantages to the Immortal Gate."
Within the Immortal Gate, the Jumang Academy stands as the unrivaled authority on spiritual plants and has been a steadfast ally to Chen Mobai for ages. In these pressing times, he's more than ready to lend a hand.
"Peach Blossom's personality feels a bit too youthful..."
Qi Yuheng voiced his hesitations, as the Kunpeng Lineage of the Four Great Daoist Sects had always covertly and overtly kept the Jumang Lineage in check.
Besides, the Peach Blossom Sage's typical behavior often stirred discomfort among the group.
"The technique for transforming spiritual energy via the Primordial Bead remains imperfect. We can revisit that after handling this issue."
Yunhai True Monarch supported Qi Yuheng's stance, noting that the upgrades to the Sky Curtain Ground Network weren't finished, so they should prioritize this core concern first.
"In that case, let's notify the Orthodox Law Hall Master to unlock those sealed small realms and convert them into medicinal fields right away."
Chen Mobai chose not to push for the Peach Blossom Sage's promotion just to favor the Jumang Academy. Yunhai had a point—the spiritual energy generated from the Primordial Bead's refinement of the void and myriad phenomena hadn't yet integrated with the Sky Curtain Ground Network.
To advance the Peach Blossom Sage at this stage, Chen Mobai would need to personally manage the Primordial Bead each day, channeling spiritual energy into her true form.
Chen Mobai had no intention of undertaking such a task; no one in the entire Immortal Gate wielded the authority to compel him.
Nevertheless, the spiritual plants initiative is pressing and demands oversight from a trusted insider.
As Chen Mobai aims to seize this chance to integrate Tianhe Realm resources into the Immortal Gate legitimately over time, he selected Wenren Xuewei for the role.
Qi Yuheng raised no objections here; it was common knowledge that Wenren Xuewei excelled in this field.
"Regarding the war artifacts, in the past, to conserve resources for posterity, items like the star space battleship linked with the Four Symbols Dao Palace, the Four Heavenly Gates, and others weren't enhanced to their peak setups. Facing this dire life-or-death threat, I propose deploying all assets from the Xianwu Hall’s small realm."
Cheng Xuan shared his view at this juncture.
Among the attending Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators, only the Narcissus had no immediate duties, while the rest were occupied; Cheng Xuan stood apart.
Feeling it wrong to stay inactive, Cheng Xuan stepped up to volunteer for a role.
In the Immortal Gate's artifact refining research, beyond Chen Mobai, Cheng Xuan represented the pinnacle of achievement.
With Chen Mobai as the Immortal Gate's chief, the task of upgrading war artifacts naturally fell to him.
All the present Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators endorsed this arrangement.
After all, Cheng Xuan hailed from the Weapon Dancing Sect, and for the Immortal Gate, this was a critical undertaking.
Having a Spirit Transformation Stage artifact refiner like him at the helm put everyone's minds at ease.
"I'll leave this responsibility to you, senior brother."
Chen Mobai voiced his approval first, nodding to Cheng Xuan along with the others.
Shortly after, Wenren Xuewei, alerted by Chen Mobai's Divine Sense message, arrived via teleportation.
She had already caught the Dance Tool Dao Academy's network broadcast announcing Chen Mobai's attainment of the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Still, upon entering and beholding Chen Mobai at the center, flanked by Qi Yuheng and Narcissus on one side and Cheng Xuan and Yunhai on the other, the sight of these five Spirit Transformation Stage powerhouses turning their gaze to her struck her with awe.
This marked a legendary golden era for the Immortal Gate!
"Salutations to the True Monarchs!"
After offering her respectful bow, Wenren Xuewei spotted Qing Ping, shrouded in the Fruit of Dao’s Rule, and the composed Yuan Xu close by, which made her pulse race.
She sensed that the three major lineages had already plotted their course and were merely informing her, as Jumang Lineage's stand-in, in a perfunctory manner.
This sense of marginalization, combined with her inability to act, filled Wenren Xuewei with frustration.
Who could have foreseen that the Jumang Lineage lacked even a single Spirit Transformation cultivator?
"No need for such ceremony; I called you here today for a specific assignment..."
As Chen Mobai addressed her, Qi Yuheng waved his hand, causing a seat to emerge from the earth and position itself behind Wenren Xuewei.
Even though the Kunpeng Lineage had long opposed the Jumang Lineage, basic decorum must be upheld in front of witnesses.
But Wenren Xuewei had no time to sit right then; her eyes widened as she absorbed the details Chen Mobai had shared.
Primordial Bead!
Turning the Void's myriad forms into spiritual energy!
Henceforth, the Immortal Sect would never face spiritual energy shortages, poised to unleash those sealed mini realms and cultivate them as medicine domains!
Her immediate reaction was how this could propel the Peach Blossom Sage forward or honor Chen Mobai's pact with the Great Chun Tree!
Of course, such topics couldn't be broached with so many onlookers.
"I shall dutifully follow the True Monarch’s command!"
Recovering from her astonishment, Wenren Xuewei bowed deeply once more, affirming her commitment to the duty.
"On top of that, collect all ingredients for the Infant-Transforming Elixir; have Yuan Xu prepare this batch."
Remembering another detail, Chen Mobai instructed, and Qi Yuheng along with the rest approved of starting the Infant-Transforming Elixir production promptly.
This display left Wenren Xuewei profoundly stunned.
It showed that Chen Mobai had earned the acknowledgment of the other four Spirit Transformation True Monarchs as the Immortal Sect's guiding force, with their unified backing clear.
"As you command!"
Hearing his name mentioned, Yuan Xu stood and positioned himself beside Wenren Xuewei, bowing to receive the directive.
"That covers everything for now. Brother Qi, do you have any further points?"
With his words concluded, Chen Mobai politely turned to Qi Yuheng at his side, who simply shook his head.
Elder Qingping, immersed in a pivotal phase of rule refinement, couldn't stir, so he stayed put at Ambition Immortal Peak.
Before dispersing, each attendee approached to pay respects to Chen Mobai individually.
Among them, only Narcissus let out a yawn and gave Chen Mobai a casual wave; throughout this top-tier Immortal Sect gathering, as the other Spirit Transformation cultivators debated with fervor, she just battled drowsiness.
Once it wrapped up, she aimed to teleport off for some much-needed rest.
"Sister Narcissus, since forging the Primordial Bead, I've fully grasped the Five Elements Great Dao and can readily summon the Water Great Dao’s essence; shall we try refining the Heavenly Realm Pure Water together? Success would immensely boost your Yi Yuan True Qi cultivation."
Chen Mobai quickly hailed her, bringing up this proposal.
"Damn!" At these words, Narcissus halted, her drowsy eyes snapping alert as the earlier discussion flooded back, prompting an involuntary curse.
She remembered her past skepticism, doubting that Chen Mobai, a Pure Yang Scroll practitioner, could ever grasp the elusive Water Great Dao.
Confronted with the truth now, her candid nature brought a flush to her cheeks, stirring inner turmoil of annoyance and eagerness.
"I'll head back to get ready and collect the Spiritual Water Elixir; drop by the Sea Territory when you have time."
Narcissus had no desire to squander effort on Heavenly Realm Pure Water, since it offered her no benefit and would hinder her progress.
But with Chen Mobai's request, she yielded.
Hailing from the Sea Territory, she held firm to the belief that might makes right.
"My thanks, Sister."
Chen Mobai planned to assist Qi Yuheng and the others through the condensation of Heavenly Realm Pure Water.
Should his approach succeed, pairing Heavenly Realm Pure Water with the Patching Heaven Immortal Skill would rapidly satisfy the Spiritual Root needs for Chaotic True Qi practice.
Though relative to his flawless hundred-point Five Elements Immortal Spirit Root, Qi Yuheng and company might achieve only half that level at best.
Even then, it would prove more than adequate for them.
Truly, at the Spirit Transformation Stage, pursuing Chaotic True Qi condensation or Primordial Bead forging yields exceptional efficiency.
After seeing off the group, Chen Mobai and Cheng Xuan made their way back to Wangxian Peak.
"Senior Brother, upon hitting the Spirit Transformation stage, I accessed the ancestral master's authentic guidance in the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree; it held not just the Three Azure Bird Dharma Aspect legacy but also six Great Dao True Meanings inscribed on the Pure Yang Scroll. Through this, I've conquered two Great Daos: Pure Yang and Saintly Virtue..."
Chen Mobai disclosed to Cheng Xuan the deep secrets of the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree, though he omitted his venture into the Purple Cloud Palace for the Three Azure Bird Dharma Aspect's Dao hearing, given its profound ramifications.
Even without that, Cheng Xuan reeled in shock upon learning Chen Mobai had secured the Pure Yang Scroll's Cultivating Void and Harmonization Chapters from the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree.
"For generations, the Weapon Dancing Sect's forebears protected this Jade Tree; even the brilliant White Light Ancestor reaped none of these rewards. Truly, Pure Yang is fated to exalt our lineage!"
Cheng Xuan felt a twinge of remorse upon reflection, as he had once turned down Chen Mobai's plea to derive additional Dao Fruits from the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree.
Had he consented then, Chen Mobai might have attained Spirit Transformation sooner, perhaps even rescuing Ancestor Qian Xing from the Death God’s Tribulation.
