I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2473 - 1101: Spirit of Great Chun (2)

Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Chen Mobai pondered the interplay of the Innate Life and Death Great Dao and its Acquired counterparts, suspecting his third senior brother had left the Great Dao of Life vacant for others to harmonize with, as the Great Chun Divine Tree appeared to refine it despite potential claims. Greeting the ancient spirit plant respectfully, he allowed its green and white immortal light to draw his primordial spirit into a verdant divine sense space blending familiar realms. There, the Great Chun manifested as an emerald-eyed maiden, who, introduced by Wenren Xuewei, hosted them graciously before revealing her inheritance of the Great Dao of Life from her master's final essence, drawing vast vitality through eighty transparent branches into an unknowable void.

"It appears your Jumang lineage lacks much of its heritage, particularly the Chapters regarding void cultivation."

Having observed the cultivation method shown by the Spirit of Great Chun, Chen Mobai felt compelled to voice his feelings.

Next to him, Wenren Xuewei's eyes grew wide as she heard those words.

The Five Ancestors of Xianmen remain merely at the Spirit Transformation Stage; back at the original White Crane Dao Arena, they could not secure the full inheritance. The Chapters that seek to enter Virtual Training from the Lasting Spring Cultivation, left behind by the Evergreen Ancestor, were largely filled in after his arrival at the Purple Cloud Palace.

Judging from Chen Mobai's current remarks, it looked like the Weapon Dancing Sect possessed a full Virtual Training heritage.

"Kindly instruct me, fellow Daoist!"

The Spirit of Great Chun grasped the meaning in Chen Mobai's statement, and with an elegant stance like a willow swaying gently in the wind, she lifted from the branches and offered a slight bow of respect toward Chen Mobai.

"I dare not presume, yet allow me to reveal our lineage's knowledge on void cultivation..."

Right then, Chen Mobai realized the Spirit of Great Chun truly had no grasp of void cultivation. She had accidentally advanced to the Sixth Rank, brushing against the Great Dao of Life that best fit her nature, and existed in this manner for millennia.

Following the Evergreen Ancestor, no Spirit Transformation successor emerged in the Jumang lineage, leaving them unable to draw the void cultivation teachings from the other three lineages.

"I never imagined that cultivation beyond the Sixth Rank would unfold this way..."

Upon hearing Chen Mobai's explanation, the Spirit of Great Chun murmured softly to herself.

At her side, Wenren Xuewei displayed a stunned expression yet diligently committed to memory everything Chen Mobai shared, reflecting that the Dan Ding Sect, established by the Dao Venerable's direct disciple, truly held deeper foundations than their Jumang lineage.

Chen Mobai: "Senior has already entered the Great Dao of Life; may this path remain unclaimed."

In this cosmos, selecting the Dao for one's cultivation proves most vital. Should one pursue a Dao already taken, regardless of talent's height, the utmost achievement would be halting at the pinnacle of void refining.

Chen Mobai himself pursues Pure Yang, Five Elements, Saintly Virtue, and End of Destiny, though he remains uncertain if these paths are occupied.

Even without venturing into void cultivation yet, should the need arise, he could shift to other Daos!

Still, such a change would undoubtedly consume precious time.

After all, while the Spirit Transformation stage offers an apparently endless lifespan, grasping a Dao demands far more than a single night; even the most gifted require centuries or millennia to approach the void refining threshold for each Dao.

A figure as exceptional as the Yuan Yang Ancestor ultimately withered away.

"My gratitude for your teachings, fellow Daoist. Now I possess a foundational grasp of the path ahead in my cultivation."

At this juncture, the Spirit of Great Chun offered a deep, respectful bow, then clasped her slender hands before her chest as a verdant-white immortal glow bloomed in her palms, swiftly forming into an elongated oval golden fruit.

"This is a Rank-5 Large Chinese Toon Fruit; I hope you won't find it unworthy."

The Spirit of Great Chun presented the golden fruit from her grasp to Chen Mobai with a touch of shy reluctance, and he received it gladly after a brief exchange of polite words.

In truth, a Rank-5 Large Chinese Toon Fruit could extend one's lifespan by 480 years.

"True Monarch, refining this immortal fruit after consumption can boost your Wood Spirit Root by 60 points."

Just then, Wenren Xuewei chimed in with her reminder.

Hearing this, Chen Mobai's joy deepened even further.

Should he ingest this immortal fruit, his Wood Spirit Root would soar straight to 100 points, achieving Wen Dao, and without relying on the Technique of Turning into Gold, he could immediately employ the Immortal Skill of Patching Heaven to forge himself into a Five Elements Immortal Spirit Root.

Admittedly, it felt a bit extravagant, given his Wood Spirit Root already stood at 53 points.

Why had the Xianmen cultivators omitted any notes on this effect following the consumption of Large Chinese Toon Fruit? Had they recorded it, he might have eased his efforts on the Wood Spirit Root much sooner, attaining Five Elements Spiritual Root Perfection earlier.

Yet, considering those in Xianmen privileged enough to partake of Large Chinese Toon Fruit were all Spirit Transformation True Monarchs, such an omission made sense.

For them, a fluctuation of 60 points in Wood Spirit Root held little weight.

"My thanks, Senior. Incidentally, as we previously discussed, should the chance arise, we would aid in relieving you from the core of the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation. Fortunately, I have mastered the Primordial Bead technique amid my Spirit Transformation..."

Chen Mobai brought up the core reason for his visit today.

"Given Senior's Sixth Rank realm, should you manage to form the Primordial Bead as well, you ought to wield the power exclusive to Nascent Soul cultivators: transforming all matter in the Void into Spiritual Energy, and likely with greater potency."

"I believe such a Primordial Bead might stand in for Senior as the fresh core of the Sky Curtain Ground Network Great Method, thus liberating you."

"That said, mastering this technique demands a human Taoist body; Senior, are you able to transform?"

Chen Mobai laid out his ideas; though the Great Chun had reached the Sixth Rank, it lacked the fearsome battle prowess of Bai Guang, and its sole ability lay in drawing in and refining the essence of the Great Dao of Life, bestowing upon itself boundless longevity while supplying immense vitality to practitioners of Lasting Spring Cultivation.

Nevertheless, being Sixth Rank, with proper direction, it might yet forge a Sixth Rank Primordial Bead. In doing so, the future Spirit Transformation successors of Xianmen would no longer labor in vain; it would strike at the heart of the problem!

Naturally, there lingered the risk that the Spirit of Great Chun might prove too obtuse to understand, but it merited an attempt all the same—that was Chen Mobai's view.

Upon hearing these words, the Spirit of Great Chun felt deeply touched yet revealed a distressed look: "Transform? I'm afraid I lack the knowledge!"

Chen Mobai's face instantly reflected confusion.

The Peach Blossom Sage could achieve it; why couldn't you?

He swiftly glanced toward Wenren Xuewei, who at once sent a transmission detailing the hidden truth.

As it happened, when the Evergreen Ancestor fell to Ancestor Long Wei and the Spiritual Venerable, his oath encompassed not just barring the refinement of Rank-6 Large Chinese Toon Fruit via the Earth Element Star Spirit Vein, but also forbidding the Great Chun Divine Tree from undergoing transformation.

Because of this, every Lasting Spring Cultivation practitioner from the Jumang lineage capable of communing with the Spirit of Great Chun had refrained from imparting transformation methods to it.

"Precisely what does the oath entail?"

Chen Mobai inquired further.

Wenren Xuewei's features brightened with delight at the question, signaling that Chen Mobai aimed to shatter the chains that had confined the Jumang lineage for thousands of years.

"It binds only our Jumang lineage; True Monarch falls outside its reach."

Chen Mobai gave a soft nod in response.

Apart from those practicing Lasting Spring Cultivation, merely the line of Spirit Transformation cultivators from Xianmen could converse with the Great Chun Spirit, but considering its Sixth Rank stature, no such cultivator would risk allowing it to separate from its primary form through transformation.

"I must consult with Senior Qi and the rest on this issue."

Chen Mobai refrained from deciding alone, as he always favored collective input on weighty affairs.

"Then I shall rely on you, fellow Daoist. Should you manage to release me from this millennia-long imprisonment, I vow to honor any pledge."

The Spirit of Great Chun voiced her commitment in turn, clearly perceiving that the youth before her stood as the greatest prospect in thousands of years to aid her escape from these bonds.

Chen Mobai offered another gentle nod upon hearing her words.

A transformed Sixth Rank Great Chun, unshackled from the Sky Curtain Ground Network's restraint, might prove beyond even their five Spirit Transformations to subdue.

Therefore, discerning which vows could bind her grew immensely important.

Exiting the Divine Sense realm of the Great Chun, Chen Mobai and Wenren Xuewei reentered their corporeal forms.

Chen Mobai gazed at the oval golden fruit that had materialized in his palm from nowhere, sensing the profound vitality surging within as he examined it intently.

"True Monarch, might you wish to stop by the nearby Daoist Academy? The Peach Blossom Sage would certainly rejoice at your presence."

Wenren Xuewei posed the question tentatively, for beyond the Great Chun Divine Tree, the Peach Blossom Sage had endured millennia awaiting her ascent to the Fifth Rank.

This too formed a cherished bequest from the Jumang lineage.

Thus, upon discovering the Primordial Bead, Wenren Xuewei had enthusiastically guided Chen Mobai here.

Still, this endeavor would inevitably strain the bond between the two.

"That can wait for another time."

Chen Mobai declined with a shake of his head.

Earlier, when he raised the topic of Peach Blossom Sage's advancement, Qi Yuheng and Yunhai had politely refused.

In light of the situation, he preferred not to kindle false expectations in Peach Blossom Sage, avoiding needless elation.

Though Wenren Xuewei sensed some regret, she held her tongue.

A shimmer of silver light flashed, and the pair had vanished from their previous location.
