I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2515 - 1129: Ku Zhu’s Return

On that day, while Chen Mobai partnered with Qing Nu in the art of pill refining, a sudden message from Zhou Ye arrived.

Word spread that the long-vanished cultivators of Kong Sang Valley had made their return.

At their helm stood Ku Zhu, the mighty Nascent Soul cultivator, joined by the core disciples of Kong Sang Valley who were whisked away amid the colossal clash between righteousness and evil.

Following that grand conflict, to shield Kong Sang Valley's territory from greedy opportunists, Chen Mobai placed it under temporary stewardship of the Five Elements Sect.

Lacking a Fifth Rank Pure Bamboo or equivalent sacred item to anchor it, the central Fifth Rank Spirit Vein suffered nonstop spiritual energy drainage. After a thorough on-the-ground assessment, Chen Mobai utilized his Earth Master's prowess to seal it shut, averting any decline in its rank, and inscribed a directive.

As a result, the moment they came back, Ku Zhu promptly dispatched an emissary to reach out to the Five Elements Sect.

Zhou Ye oversaw Eastern Yi dealings, conferred with the Kong Sang Valley arrivals to comprehend their wishes, then conveyed the details to Chen Mobai.

"Ku Zhu seems like someone touched by destiny as well,"

Chen Mobai commented to Qing Nu upon absorbing the thorough briefing.

"Now that Kong Sang Valley's folks are back, do we hand over their territory?"

Qing Nu raised the query.

By local traditions, when someone departs and finds their spiritual vein claimed by others in their absence, joint ownership takes hold.

Such disputes typically resolve through the prevailing custom.

The mightier force seizes the rights.

Chen Mobai's barriers guarded Kong Sang Valley's Fifth Rank core spirit vein, yet the broad surrounding expanses couldn't lie fallow; the Five Elements Sect had already transformed and harnessed them long ago.

A large swath had been turned into herb gardens and spirit farms, teeming with assorted medicinal plants and Spirit Rice.

Qing Nu's Danxia Pavilion maintained stakes in the sect's herbal assets.

Thus, this issue weighed heavily on her mind.

"It all rests on if Ku Zhu desires it or not."

Chen Mobai responded with a grin.

According to Zhou Ye's account, Ku Zhu sought to journey to the East Continent, pay respects to the Sect Master, and offer thanks for safeguarding Kong Sang Valley's spirit vein.

Chen Mobai's familiar contact, Ming Wen, initially managed the affair; she now lingered in Northern Abyss City, prepared to escort Ku Zhu at the first signal.

Evidently, fresh from his return, Ku Zhu had swiftly learned the East Continent's lay of the land, knowing Chen Mobai had achieved Divinity Transformation and reigned supreme over the Eastern Continent Frontier's Three Regions.

"Kindly journey to Northern Abyss City and convey that after my wife and I wrap up this pill batch, I'll carve out time to encounter Daoist Ku Zhu," Chen Mobai directed to Gu Yan at his side, who gave a soft nod and slipped away to manage it.

"The flames must be intensified,"

Qing Nu prompted, her hands flowing steadily as she hurled groups of pre-processed ingredients into the Primordial Yang Cauldron, while Chen Mobai agreed, subtly waving the Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern to spark the violet-green Stat Fire in aid.

The duo was presently crafting the Lifeblood Refining Pill.

From the formulas drawn from the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree Dao Fruit, this recipe featured fairly basic components and spanned refinement from Rank-1 to Rank-6.

Qing Nu had earlier triumphed with Rank-1 through Rank-3 variants, primarily to hone her skills and get comfortable with the formula.

The present round aimed at Rank-4.

Should it succeed, Zhuo Ming could smoothly employ it to shatter through the Ninefold Law Body.

Besides, with the ingredients deemed rare treasures, the Five Elements Sect had labored years to collect sufficient for a single batch—hence Qing Nu's intense focus, drawing Chen Mobai in for fire guidance.

Their joint efforts equaled Dustless True Monarch, the East Continent's premier pill forger.

This set of Fourth Rank Lifeblood Refining Pills wrapped up smoothly, producing ten impeccable orbs.

Satisfied with the pill formation, Qing Nu bore them to Xiao Nanshan, set on delivering them to Zhuo Ming.

Chen Mobai, meanwhile, warped straight to Northern Abyss City.

...

With deference etched on her face, Ming Wen trailed Gu Yan upward along North Abyss Mountain. Over the years of her East Continent absence, land costs here had rocketed to absurd peaks, especially the pinnacle structure—the abode of the Five Elements Sect's Divinity Transformation chief, the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor.

Reflecting on their shared Core Formation era with this young man, and how in scarcely over a century he'd soared to Divinity Transformation among the realm's elite, Ming Wen felt like she'd traversed an entirely new existence.

To cultivators, a hundred years feels middling in length.

Yet the one she weathered was like cataclysmic upheavals of land and ocean.

Kong Sang Valley, nestled in the Eastern Yi Territory, endured multiple epic battles, finally crumbling and driving them to remote exile. Now, just returning, the East Continent's shifts surpassed her boldest expectations.

She'd figured the Frontier's East Wu, Eastern Wilderness, and Eastern Yi realms would stay eternally fractured.

Yet beneath this mountaintop youth's command, unification unfolded with ease.

"We've arrived."

Gu Yan's mild tone broke in then, drawing Ming Wen's eyes to a lush courtyard where a youth of celestial grace and polished demeanor grinned her way.

"It's been a while."

As his cultivation climbed ever higher, Chen Mobai's circle of known faces shrank, turning every encounter with a past ally into a burst of profound happiness.

"Hail the True Monarch!"

Ming Wen offered a profound bow brimming with rare reverence, and at the sight, Chen Mobai released a faint sigh.
