Chapter 2351: Chapter 1061: Early Pioneering (Part 2)
Mu Youyi continued to persuade, and he honestly explained his reason for capturing the Yellow Dragon, promising that if the Five Elements Sect were destroyed, Fire Cloud Palace would be fully supported when the time came for exploration.
This way, both sides had hopes of acquiring Deity Transformation resources.
“Then let’s talk about it after the exploration.”
However, Hong Yun did not want to take this risk. After all, he had been busy for over a hundred years for the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill and did not wish for any unforeseen complications at the final stage.
“Making a move during exploration is indeed a good opportunity, considering the Five Elements Sect is guarded by a Fifth Rank Great Formation, whereas there are none within the ruins.”
“Moreover, Chen Guixian once blew up the East Wu Spirit Vein. If he becomes desperate and behaves recklessly, the evil power would be too great.”
“If we could persuade Mount Wudi to join us, it would be foolproof.”
Mu Youyi pretended not to understand Hong Yun’s meaning and continued discussing various strategies against the Five Elements Sect.
Among them, besides the Fifth Rank Great Formation, the Primordial Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder is also a significant challenge, but it can be resolved using Primordial True Qi.
“If Earth Virtue leads Mount Wudi to join, I believe it’s doable.”
Hong Yun pondered for a moment, finally relenting slightly.
“This is a significant matter, why not go to Mount Wudi with me, Dao Brother?”
Mu Youyi knew his presence alone was insufficient, so he wanted to take Hong Yun along.
“Very well.”
Considering that such a trip would be no big deal, and internally not favoring the rise of the Five Elements Sect, Hong Yun agreed to accompany Mu Youyi to Mount Wudi.
“True Spirit Yellow Dragon…”
After listening to the two of them, Earth Virtue was deeply conflicted.
Currently, he was solely focused on waiting for the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, but the True Spirit Yellow Dragon was a symbol of Yi Yuan True Monarch, the Grandmaster.
Could it be that the Five Elements Sect is truly the Yi Yuan Orthodoxy?
Upon learning that Chen Mobai had raised a Rank-4 Yellow Dragon, even Earth Virtue began to question the orthodoxy of Yi Yuan Dao Palace.
“Dao Brother, you achieved Primordial True Qi using earth-element techniques and refined the Primordial Dao Fruit. Should you acquire the Earth True Spirit Yellow Dragon, even without the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, achieving a Divinity Transformation would be a guarantee. This is a heaven-sent opportunity; if missed, you might regret it for life.”
Mu Youyi, seeing Earth Virtue’s interest, pressed on persistently.
“But there is only one Yellow Dragon, how do we split it?”
Earth Virtue listened and calmly asked.
“The inner core for you, the body for me.”
Mu Youyi had already thought this through beforehand and answered directly.
The refining of the Heavenly Spirit Pill and the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill are similar, primarily requiring True Spirit Essence Blood.
“That is of little use to me.”
Earth Virtue shook his head, indicating disinterest.
Although a Rank-4 Yellow Dragon’s inner core is an incomparable treasure for cultivators practicing earth-element techniques, to him, it was just that.
Having it was good, but not having it was no big deal.
If given the complete Yellow Dragon or a Rank-5 inner core, he might have been tempted.
“Dao Brother, the Five Elements Sect is now claiming all over the world to be the Yi Yuan Orthodoxy. As companions of East Land, we cannot stand this; it is an exceptional opportunity for us three families to work together and definitely overthrow the Five Elements Sect.”
Mu Youyi continued to persuade, but Earth Virtue again shook his head and then directly got up to escort him out.
“This person is truly a turtle hiding in its shell, beyond hope!”
After leaving Mount Wudi, Mu Youyi spat and angrily cursed Earth Virtue in front of Hong Yun.
If he were in Earth Virtue’s place, knowing that the symbol of the Grandmaster, the Yellow Dragon, appeared in the Eastern Wilderness Village, he would get his hands on it no matter what.
“Dao Brother, let’s talk about this after the exploration, then.”
Seeing Earth Virtue unwilling to take action, Hong Yun lost interest in getting involved, leaving just this sentence before flickering away with Escaping Light.
“One by one, lacking any ambition…”
On the way back to the Beast Commanding Sect, Mu Youyi muttered complaints, including Hong Yun in his grievances.
Chen Mobai hadn’t anticipated this.
After calculating everything, he didn’t expect that the Five Elements Sect’s strength was so overwhelming, intimidating potential adversaries, despite knowing he possessed the True Spirit Yellow Dragon, from making a move.
Mu Youyi’s complaints aside, if he wasn’t chasing his own chance for Deity Transformation, upon knowing about this, he’d probably hold the same stance as Hong Yun and Earth Virtue.
“Master, Uncle Tian has sent a message.”
Upon returning to the Beast Commanding Sect, Mu Youyi took the letter from Ao Shizheng and frowned after reading it.
The Taoist Child of Ten Thousand Spirits Sect heard about the Yellow Dragon and wanted to contract it as his spirit beast, offering a Heavenly Spirit Pill.
But since it was in the lands of the Eastern Continent, the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect army couldn’t advance, at most the Taoist Child could lead a few elders, and even that needed to be done discreetly.
Knowing this, Mu Youyi reluctantly told the details of his failure to unite Fire Cloud Palace and Yi Yuan Dao Palace through a letter, stating that, even with the might of the Beast Commanding Sect, despite including several Nascent Soul Cultivators, they probably couldn’t force the Five Elements Sect to submit.
“Mere minor sect of the Eastern Wilderness, wait until I arrive!”
The Taoist Child from the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect only replied with this line.
Thinking of the legend of this Taoist Child in Central State, Mu Youyi’s hope was reignited.
…
Dao Morale Sect.
Upon knowing about the Five Elements Sect’s possession of the True Spirit Yellow Dragon, Shenxi reported this to Dustless True Monarch.
“It seems that before Yi Yuan True Monarch’s ascendance, he left most of his accumulation in the Eastern Wilderness.”
Dustless True Monarch commented while controlling the True Fire within a Pill Furnace.
“Master, what should we do about this? In the past, the Eastern Emperor Court could practice the Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture thanks to the Eastern Wilderness’ Yellow Dragon, which had significant contributions to it. Now it appears to be its descendant. If we leave it be, there might be future trouble.”
When Shenxi mentioned the Eastern Emperor Court, Dustless True Monarch’s actions paused briefly.
This was a painful history for the Eastern Continent Holy Lands to recall.
At the peak of the Eastern Emperor Court, even someone like him had to come out to refine pills and act as a physician for the royal family.
“Over in the Eastern Wilderness, with the Five Elements Sect’s unification these years, logically speaking, a Dragon Vein Spirit should have been born, right?”
Dustless True Monarch suddenly asked this question.
“I have also monitored this, but if the Xuanji Instrument shows no signs above or below, it indicates the Dragon Vein has not produced a spirit.”
Shenxi only stated this fact.
“Before Yuan Qingque ascended, he entrusted that young fellow to my care, saying he could become a cornerstone for the Righteous Path of the Eastern Continent in the future. I must give face to it.”
Upon hearing this, Shenxi knew what must be done and nodded slightly, intending to leave.
“The exploration has been prepared for so long, it should be ready.”
“Issue my orders: let each major sect of the Eastern Continent assign one-tenth of their manpower to the ruins starting today.”
“Notify the Nine Heavens Morality Sect, Taixu Piaomiao Palace, as well as Yi Yuan Dao Palace, Burning Heaven Meridians, and Star Heaven Dao Sect.”
“This exploration needs to venture thirty thousand miles, establishing the Eastern Continent’s Seventh Domain.”
Upon hearing this, Shenxi’s expression shifted notably.
This plan was earlier than initially discussed.
However, for each major sect in the Eastern Continent, it was a boon.
After all, many forces had exhausted their resources, and mining veins they could profit from over the years had become saturated and depleted.
If no expansion occurred, the only option left would be internal conflict.
Moreover, this action would take the Demonic beasts by surprise.
If it succeeds, the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill could be refined sooner.
“By your command!”
Shenxi’s expression solidified, accepting the order, and left.
…
In the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai also received news from Yuan Zhen.
As the Saintess of the Nine Heavens Morality Sect, she naturally learned first of the Dao Morale Sect’s decision to commence exploration early, and promptly sent someone to notify the Five Elements Sect.
