I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2531 - 1139: Completing All the Pieces to Defeat the Old Flood Dragon (Part 2)

With a sharp cracking noise, a fissure suddenly formed on the stone coffin.

A brilliant azure radiance, resembling a light sword slashing through the shadows, blended with the infinite force of the Mysterious Sea, relentlessly surging into the stone coffin.

Sigh!

As Dustless True Monarch let out a sigh, the fissure started to spread rapidly, soon enveloping the whole stone coffin. Amid a booming thunder, an azure blue treasure orb shot out first, trailed by the wild form of the old flood dragon bursting forth, flinging fragments of broken stone that dissolved and vanished within the churning Mysterious Sea.

At this sight, Chen Mobai also pulled back the Primordial Clock.

Even with the upper hand in tactics, the pair of sixth rank magic artifacts failed to fully subdue the Sea Suppressing Bead.

It had to be admitted that over the Mysterious Sea, the old flood dragon held an invincible edge.

Yet right now, the old flood dragon, freshly escaped from its seal, didn't dare to spout any threats; it fled from the stone coffin and dove straight into the Mysterious Sea, the Sea Suppressing Bead hovering over its head, without so much as a backward glance.

The three mighty Deity Transformation True Monarchs of the East Continent, no matter how much essence blood they burned, could only manage to stay unbeaten atop the Mysterious Sea at best. Should their essence blood run dry, they might even get ground down to defeat.

As the tempest subsided, Chen Mobai withdrew the Yi Yuan Avatar and soared over to join the two, voicing his thanks for their aid.

"It's a pity we let this chance slip away today; the old flood dragon won't be so reckless next time."

Dustless True Monarch gazed toward where the old flood dragon had vanished, his face filled with regret.

"Though the Earth Element Sealing carries the term 'realm' in its name, it's not a genuine Law Domain in the end, so it couldn't fully break the link between the Sea Suppressing Bead and the Mysterious Sea."

Da Kong True Monarch started breaking down the insights and takeaways from the just-ended clash, explaining that his success in cultivating to this level stemmed from his skill at reviewing battles; he replayed every magical confrontation since the Qi Cultivation stage, growing ever more powerful as a result.

"Oh, so the Law Domain holds such immense power?"

Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn't suppress his curiosity.

On the Immortal Gate side, discussions of Law Domain existed, but neither the Spiritual Venerable nor any Deity Transformation cultivators from Kunpeng Daoist Institute had truly grasped it; Qi Yuheng came closest, yet he applied it to Body Forging, treading a different route.

Still, the Law Domain of the Tianhe Realm mirrored the classic Law Domain outlined in the Six Imperial Scripture.

Both involved forging a miniature world.

The difference lay in the Immortal Gate approach, where the portal helped sense the Power of Void from Core Formation onward to build the domain, whereas Tianhe Realm's Law Domain training depended purely on personal aptitude.

Thus, across history, those who crossed the entry point were usually prodigies in the void path, often bearing the Void Spirit Body.

As a result, the examples were scarce; even as a Deity Transformation, Chen Mobai lacked in-depth details.

"True command of the Law Domain comes only to Nascent Soul cultivators; once established, it's like a full-fledged world where one dictates the Great Tao's rules. Trapping the Sea Suppressing Bead inside would be like banishing it to the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm, similar to how the Primordial Water Control Banner severs its hold on the Mysterious Sea."

Da Kong True Monarch illuminated the deep secrets of the Law Domain for Chen Mobai.

Across eras, the ascendants from Taixu Piaomiao Palace who achieved the Law Domain numbered few, and most possessed the Void Spirit Body.

Because of this, the current Taixu Saintess of the East Continent, post-Nascent Soul Formation, devoted much of her time to training at the Central State base, where great expectations rested on her.

"I understand!"

With this explanation, Chen Mobai gained sudden insight.

He stood just a single step from comprehending the Law Domain.

Nevertheless, to eliminate the old flood dragon, the Law Domain alone might fall short; after this failed trap, the old flood dragon probably wouldn't let the Sea Suppressing Bead stray from its body anymore, meaning any future strike would require readying measures to seal and contain them as one.

Chen Mobai figured mentally that under four years remained before Purple Cloud Palace's arrival from the Immortal Gate side, and he had to eliminate the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court's danger by then.

Otherwise, returning to the Immortal Gate would leave him with unresolved worries.

"In the Upper Realm, Beixuan Heavenly Lord from Jellyfish Palace turned down Yuan Qingque senior's plea to lend the Primordial Water Control Banner, so tackling the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court looks like it'll depend on us alone."

Chen Mobai shared another update, passed on by Ni Yuanzhong four years back.

It seemed Yuan Qingque and the Nine Heavens Morality Sect's prestige fell short.

"With us watching, the old flood dragon won't dare step foot outside the Mysterious Sea."

Dustless True Monarch's words hinted at his intent to team up with Chen Mobai in defending the East Barbarians.

Thanks to the Three Mystic Jade Dragon Pill aiding his breakthrough, he saw it as a debt to Chen Mobai; even though the other didn't know, he aimed to settle it as best he could now.

"Oh, if senior can spare time to help with the watch, I could head to Mount Wudi to refine this clock; maybe pushing it to sixth rank superior grade would let us fully overpower the Sea Suppressing Bead."

Hearing Dustless True Monarch's offer, Chen Mobai's gaze brightened, sensing the final pieces for vanquishing the old flood dragon falling into place.

"That's no big deal. My Xuanji Instrument draws from heaven and earth, making it on the East Continent what the Sea Suppressing Bead is to the Mysterious Sea. But enhancing the Primordial Clock isn't easy; are you certain about hurrying it, my friend?"

Dustless True Monarch brimmed with assurance in his defensive prowess through withdrawal, yet he urged Chen Mobai against rash moves. As Deity Transformation True Monarchs with vast lifespans, they could take time to gear up before chasing such improbable goals.

"Don't worry, senior; I've mentally rehearsed this countless thousands of times, and my confidence runs high."

Over the last ten years, aside from clashes with the old flood dragon, Chen Mobai had focused on forging the Primordial Clock with rare sixth rank materials like the Leaving Fire Divine Sand; he only needed the Boundary Stone and a sixth rank Spirit Vein to try that crucial upgrade.

"If you're that certain, it sounds like you've got more than fifty percent odds. I wish you triumph, in hopes that after Yi Yuan senior, our East Continent gains yet another sixth rank Artifact Refiner."

Dustless True Monarch eased at Chen Mobai's firm words, aware that this young cultivator possessed a remarkably prudent nature.

Chen Mobai pondered briefly and held back from correcting Dustless True Monarch.

How could it merely be fifty percent?

In the previous decade, beyond fights against the old flood dragon, he devoted all else to this pursuit, weighing every factor that could sway the artifact's elevation, assured of a ninety-nine percent chance.

"Have no fears, young friend; with my junior brother Dustless by my side, we'll secure this frontier for you."

Da Kong True Monarch burned with zeal for Chen Mobai's ascent to sixth rank Artifact Refiner status; that way, they'd boast the top asset in the East Continent.

"Thank you!"

Chen Mobai felt deep appreciation.

After briefing the two Deity Transformation elders, he visited the Five Elements Sect and conferred on this with Mo Douguang.

Mo Douguang: "Don't worry, Master; I'll hold the line here."

The East Barbarians' million-strong cultivator force, framed as support for the Five Elements Sect, effectively placed Mo Douguang in command. Still, he relayed plans and movements to the Three Great Sacred Lands' envoys, who, given Chen Mobai's sway, had Zhang Pankong and the rest eagerly heeding his guidance.

"Simply be aware of my absence; no need to alert the sacred lands' delegates."

Chen Mobai gave this final caution, and Mo Douguang nodded gravely, grasping the importance.

…

Mount Wudi.

Leaving Yi Yuan Immortal City behind, Chen Mobai masked his aura, keeping it from Lian Shui's notice.

Yet hiding from Xiao Yuli proved impossible.

As Yi Yuan Dao Palace's Palace Master, she oversaw the full Mountain Protection Array, and Chen Mobai's arrival had already pinged her awareness.

"Greetings, Sect Master." Xiao Yuli reached Yi Yuan Hall and spotted Chen Mobai's well-known figure, exhaling in relief as she bowed at once. "What brings you to our Mount Wudi branch today? Has the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court's peril been quelled..."

Chen Mobai pivoted, and catching sight of the Primordial Clock cradled in his hand, Xiao Yuli immediately remembered his prior words, making her slender body quiver faintly.
