I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2511 - 1126: The Lofty One (Part 2)

Chen Mobai displayed a face of remorse and swiftly assumed the blame on his own shoulders.

In the end, as a Righteous Deity Transformation cultivator, Dustless True Monarch would surely not grow hostile toward him.

"Our Dao Morale Sect possesses an ancestral secret technique capable of slicing and splitting this Eastern Wilderness Dragon Vein."

Dustless True Monarch truly let the issue slide and instead suggested his own approach. Listening to it, Chen Mobai felt this idea was absolutely impractical, since he had carefully cultivated the dragon vein to its present condition, expecting it to develop spirituality in the near future.

Nevertheless, the Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture remained a route toward Void Refining. Though his core practice was the Pure Yang Scroll, he still wanted to study it for insights. Even without practicing it personally, it could offer the Immortal Gate an additional powerful cultivation path.

"It’s not that I refuse; the dragon vein ties into the mortal dynasty’s destiny. Severing it could bring the nation to collapse, turmoil, and catastrophe, endangering eighty million lives beneath the Five Elements Sect. Should the senior cut the dragon vein, the repelled evil power might hinder your ascension."

Dustless True Monarch stood stunned when Chen Mobai brought up the figure of eighty million.

"Is the number truly so vast?"

One must know that the whole East Land together only had a bit more than fifty million people, drawn from the legacy of the ancient Eastern Emperor Court. Its territories were expansive and the ground rich, allowing any sown crop to flourish abundantly.

The previous time Dustless True Monarch had heard of the local population, it numbered merely a few million. He never anticipated that Chen Mobai would multiply it by more than ten times in his century of leadership.

This showed just how prosperously the ordinary folk thrived under the Five Elements Sect’s rule.

"In that case, it must not be cut."

Dustless True Monarch considered the situation and saw that his own ascension took priority. While the evil power could be passed to a disciple or the sect, he figured that doing so might result in his expulsion by the Upper Realm’s Grandmaster, even after ascending.

"How about I step in and employ the Xuanji Instrument of Heaven and Earth to seal this dragon vein?"

Since severing proved unviable, sealing became the alternative choice.

Dustless True Monarch put forward his suggestion. Chen Mobai believed no seal could block him, a master of Sixth Rank Arrays, so he readily consented without hesitation.

"Friends, might I suggest a deal to you both?"

Ao Yuxia interjected unexpectedly at that point.

She sent a voice transmission to Chen Mobai and Dustless True Monarch, leaving them mildly taken aback.

"Nephew Tan, prepare a private chamber."

Chen Mobai directed Tan Rong, stationed outside, given their location in Huozhen Immortal City where she knew the layout well.

Soon after, the trio of Divinity Transformation cultivators departed the main hall amid the crowd’s shocked stares and stepped into a nearby private chamber.

The Azure Fall Palace Master faintly sensed the shift and steered the discussion toward those emerging from the Enlightenment Tea’s influence, promptly restoring the hall’s vibrant buzz.

…

"My son is able to practice the Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture, yet the dragon vein raised in Central State’s Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace remains unrestored. Thus, we seek an appropriate substitute beyond Central State. This Eastern Wilderness Dragon Vein fits perfectly; should you two assist me here, Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace will certainly show profound thanks."

At the Divinity Transformation stage, directness was preferable, so Ao Yuxia plainly revealed her aims.

Hearing her words, Chen Mobai gained some clarity, realizing why she had brought up the dragon vein so quickly; clearly, she desired it.

Before he could voice his denial, Dustless True Monarch shook his head firmly.

"I humbly request Yuxia True Monarch to spare me this bother, for while the Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture can be cultivated in other regions, it absolutely cannot here in East Continent."

Chen Mobai opted to stay quiet. If Ao Yuxia failed to convince Dustless True Monarch, it would spare him any hassle.

All of a sudden, Ao Yuxia sent a message to Dustless True Monarch in Chen Mobai’s presence, and though he couldn’t grasp the pledge she gave, Dustless True Monarch’s face shifted at once, his resolute position starting to falter.

"Little friend Chen, what’s your view on this?"

Once their exchange ended, Dustless True Monarch appeared hesitant and surprisingly asked for Chen Mobai’s thoughts.

Chen Mobai felt intense curiosity about the tempting propositions Ao Yuxia must have dangled to alter Dustless True Monarch’s resolve so sharply.

"This affair seems rather imprudent."

Chen Mobai paused briefly before giving his assessment.

[If Mr. Chen consents to relinquishing this dragon vein, I’m prepared to provide not just Sixth Rank Purple Fire Gold Copper, but also Sixth Rank Blazing Heaven Crystal and Sixth Rank Nine Yang True Fire Stone besides.]

Ao Yuxia’s voice transmission arrived in Chen Mobai’s mind, nearly causing him to shudder.

What immense stockpile of riches had the Generation Emperor stored in Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace?

Little surprise Dustless True Monarch struggled to hold firm.

Confronted by such an array of treasures, hesitation would come naturally to anyone.

"What’s your opinion, senior?"

Chen Mobai passed the decision back to Dustless True Monarch. Deep down, he wavered between desire and reluctance; those Sixth Rank resources could transform his Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern into his very first Sixth Rank Superior Grade Supreme Treasure.

Yet agreeing would inevitably spark complications.

Even as a straightforward exchange of items, if Yuwen Baozhi fully grasped the Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture and rose to prominence later, the karmic ties and consequences from the Eastern Wilderness Dragon Vein would probably weigh heavily.

Compared to gaining a Sixth Rank Superior Grade Supreme Treasure, Chen Mobai sensed the trade wasn’t entirely out of the question.

With such an artifact securing the sect, the Five Elements Sect could rely on it to preserve the Holy Land’s prestige, even during a lull in Divinity Transformation experts.

After all, East Continent’s foremost Supreme Treasure, the Xuanji Instrument of Heaven and Earth, ranked only as Sixth Rank Superior Grade.

Dustless True Monarch and Chen Mobai shared a look, then bowed their heads as if weighing the pros and cons.

Ao Yuxia’s proposed terms were personally irresistible to them.

However, taking the deal would force Dustless True Monarch to break his principles and saddle Chen Mobai’s disciple or sect with a tremendous burden.

After some reflection, Chen Mobai let out a sigh, concluding rejection was wiser.

"Though I greatly covet the Three Mystic Jade Dragon Pill, thinking it over, I’ve still got several centuries before my breakthrough, so there’s no urgency yet."

As Chen Mobai prepared to respond, Dustless True Monarch beat him to it and turned down the offer.

Three Mystic Jade Dragon Pill? What sort of pill was that?

Though Chen Mobai had reached Divinity Transformation, he remained ignorant of remedies specific to this realm’s Divinity Transformation cultivators, yet from its appeal to Dustless True Monarch, it was likely a breakthrough aid for tough barriers.

[Should Mr. Chen accept my proposal, our sects’ united might will leave the Dao Morale Sect no cause for fear. Moreover, my husband will personally aid Mr. Chen against the Dao Morale Sect. Then, the Three Mystic Jade Dragon Pill meant for him can become yours as well.]

Following Dustless True Monarch’s refusal, Ao Yuxia’s transmission reached Chen Mobai once more, this time with stronger insistence.

Taken off guard, Chen Mobai’s eyelids flickered.

Over all these years, he hadn’t grown accustomed to the locals’ bold natures.

With Dustless True Monarch right there beside him, Ao Yuxia was already stirring him up against the Dao Morale Sect.

Agreeing would pull him into alliance with her, keeping Dustless True Monarch from departing the Eastern Wilderness?

"I’ll defer to senior Dustless’s judgment."

With Chen Mobai’s firm ethics, he’d never betray an ally, so he firmly declined.

Ao Yuxia showed a trace of regret; she hadn’t expected Chen Mobai to resist such enticement.

Of the two Divinity Transformation True Monarchs present, her true target for alliance was solely Chen Mobai.

The Dao Morale Sect had appeared neutral during the Eastern Emperor Court’s fall, but according to Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace’s suspicions, it probably lurked as a key instigator, fueling Ao Yuxia’s deep-seated wariness.

Prior to arrival, Purple Qi True Monarch had reviewed Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor’s files in Impermanence Pavilion, viewing him as an ambitious youth. Partnering with him might topple the Dao Morale Sect and Nine Heavens Morality Sect, restoring the Eastern Emperor Court in East Continent.

Still, the value of such a partnership needed in-person confirmation.

After watching closely, Ao Yuxia was convinced that Chen Mobai’s aptitude would propel him to the pinnacle of Tianhe Realm cultivators, potentially reaching Void Refining Ascension.

Hence, post the artifact refining competition, she played her hand after hand aimed at Chen Mobai.

Regrettably, even all those offers together failed to budge Chen Mobai’s ethical resolve.

Ao Yuxia felt perplexed, used to witnessing humanity’s selfish and covetous ways.

A truly upright soul like this actually walks the world!
