I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 2396: Chapter 1077: Taiyin Treasure Pearl (Part 4)

The current pattern in the Eastern Continent remains two major and two minor forces.

The Dao Morale Sect and the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace have residing Spirit Transformation cultivators, and they are bound to claim the lion’s share of the benefits from pioneering. The Nine Heavens Morality Sect may not have Spirit Transformation cultivators, but with the legacy of Yuan Qingque’s ascendance, it stands on par with the Five Elements Sect, which currently possesses Deity Transformation combat power.

Moreover, there is only one or two years left until the refinement of the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill.

In such a short time, Chen Mobai is disinclined to enforce the smaller Immortal Gate system here.

He plans to wait until he enters the Spirit Transformation Stage before making any moves.

With this in mind, in the Dongling Domain, he also implemented a policy of doing nothing, similar to that of the Immortal Gates.

He only directed the cultivator army of the Five Elements Sect to clear wastelands in their designated area, constructing five Immortal Cities as per previous plans, expanding gradually towards full coverage of the Kun Position.

However, news of his achievement in mastering the Yi Yuan Dao Body of the Spirit Transformation Stage spread rapidly.

After all, many people in Dongling Immortal City witnessed it.

This led to a situation where, apart from the Golden Core Cultivators who remained in the Qian Position of the Star Heaven Dao Sect, the vast majority of Loose Cultivators began swarming toward the Five Elements Sect territory.

With a deity transformation overseer, they even had hope of survival when encountering wild Fifth Rank True Spirits.

Loose Cultivators, though greedy, also prioritize safety greatly.

Additionally, many of them have already exchanged for their needed cultivation techniques at the Yi Yuan Dao Palace, and the resources available at the Five Elements Sect are both the most diverse and of the highest quality.

With the help of Loose Cultivators, the undertaking that was expected to take ten to twenty years to complete was unexpectedly mostly done within just three years in the wastelands of the Kun Position.

Seeing this progress, Chen Mobai wasted no time and decisively commanded Mo Douguang and Yin Qingmei, two Nascent Soul cultivators, to lead the Five Elements Sect army toward the adjacent Zhen and Gen Positions, assisting in their development as well.

The Gen Position was not a problem; it was originally kept vacant as a buffer between the Yi Yuan Dao Palace and the Five Elements Sect and was meant for Loose Cultivators.

Securing it for the Five Elements Sect didn’t elicit a single complaint from Earth Virtue.

But the Zhen Position was different; it had previously belonged to the Burning Heaven Meridians. However, due to mobilizing to encircle the Golden Flame Manticore, the Burning Heaven Meridians forces were all deployed to the front line, leading to parts that had been developed being reclaimed by demonic beasts.

Chen Mobai, feeling sorry for the Loose Cultivators in the Zhen Position, decided to lend a helping hand as a righteous individual.

Upon hearing this, even Hong Yun came to humbly apologize, stating that as the person in charge of the Zhen Position, he failed to handle things properly, allowing demonic beasts to wreak havoc and Loose Cultivators to suffer.

"Elder Hong Yun, you are too solemn with your words, after all, you also did it for the greater good!"

Chen Mobai, seeing Hong Yun so understanding, found it tricky.

He had initially thought if Hong Yun directly opposed, he could find an excuse to take action and demonstrate the might of deity transformation. He hadn’t planned to kill him, as Dustless True Monarch had lent him the Cleansing World Pot and promised him a Sacred Spirit Pill. As a pillar of Eastern Continent Righteous Dao, it wasn’t feasible for him to harm his allies.

The plan was simply to see if he could seize the obtrusive Golden Crow Immortal City for the Five Elements Sect.

However, since Hong Yun admitted his mistake, Chen Mobai had no choice but to politely ask him to rise.

They chatted a while longer, and Hong Yun pleasantly handed over a storage bag, to which Chen Mobai claimed he wasn’t that kind of person and asked him to put it away.

"Inside are some Fifth Rank Sun Holy Fruits; hearing that Taoist Ye Qing mentioned Sect Master Chen is collecting these, I took all of the stock from the Burning Heaven Meridians and brought it here. I implore Sect Master Chen to accept them."

Upon hearing Hong Yun’s words, Chen Mobai immediately ceased his refusal gestures.

"Once when I was at the Divine Wood Sect, I heard of the fame of the First Spirit Plant of the Three Regions of the Eastern Continent Frontier. Plus, my cultivation technique is fire-attributed, so I wondered back then if I could one day own a Sun God Tree, how splendid it would be."

As Chen Mobai spoke, he took over Hong Yun’s storage bag. A divine sense inspection showed twelve whole Sun Holy Fruits, causing his breathing to quicken slightly.

The major sects in the Tianhe Realm have so many fine things!

"The Sun God Tree was once developed by the deity transformation patriarch of Fen Tianjing Di, who invited Spirit Transformation cultivators from Dao Morale Sect and other Holy Lands. After the Eastern Barbarians were developed at that time, our sect agreed that the Sun God Tree would belong to the descendants of Fen Tianjing Di forever..."

Hong Yun understood Chen Mobai’s implication and looked pained but knowing he couldn’t hand over the Sun God Tree to this man to resolve their conflict.

After all, the reason the Burning Heaven Meridians could have so many Nascent Soul cultivators and firmly suppress the Three Veins of Ice Heaven was because of the Sun God Tree, this Fifth Rank spirit plant.

Relying on resources produced by this plant, aside from furthering their own cultivation, they could also exchange for various core-forming and infant-forming spiritual medicines. Even Holy Lands outside the Eastern Continent, such as the Mysterious Fire Sect of the Southern State, often come to request Sun Holy Fruits, etc.

Now that Chen Mobai wants it, Hong Yun could only bring up the Dao Morale Sect and other Eastern Continent Holy Lands, hoping to make him wary.

"I was just saying, but since the agreement participants are the descendants of Fen Tianjing Di, it means if your Burning Heaven Meridians were no more..."

Chen Mobai grasped the key point immediately upon hearing the statement.

Hong Yun’s face turned pale at once.

"Sect Master Chen, please be careful with words, we of Fen Tianjing Di have an ascended grandmaster too!"

Hearing that, Chen Mobai was taken aback.

In his impression, there were no ascended cultivators from Fen Tianjing Di in the Eastern Continent.

"Our sect’s ancestral master hails from Central State and is a fellow disciple with the patriarch of the Mysterious Fire Sect in the Southern State. The original sect patriarch from Central State is an ascension superpower!"

Hong Yun brought out a distant lineage to show that Fen Tianjing Di wasn’t one to be bullied either and had affluent relatives.

The Mysterious Fire Sect, as a major sect in the Southern State, is as powerful as those Holy Land major sects in the Central State.

Its deity transformation patriarch, the Immortal in Flames, ranks among the top fifteen of the Tianhe Realm, standing alongside the Three Immortals.

"I see I was the uninformed one."

Chen Mobai acknowledged, indicating he had gained new understanding.

"Sect Master Chen, I have other matters to attend to, so I must take my leave now."

Concluding the conversation there, Hong Yun realized the bag of Sun Holy Fruits at most resolved earlier grievances between the Fire Cloud Palace and Five Elements Sect. Issues between the Sun Bathing Sea and Five Elements Sect were still likely in the future.

The crux laid in whether he could harness the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill to achieve deity transformation.

If successful, Hong Yun’s first action would be leading the Burning Heaven Meridians for a confrontation with the Five Elements Sect.

If he failed...

[No, I won’t fail; I will succeed!]

Harboring this thought, Hong Yun departed from Venus Valley.

Following Chen Mobai’s instructions, Han Zhiling escorted Hong Yun out and then welcomed two other Nascent Soul cultivators waiting outside inside.

"I didn’t expect it was Taoist Hong Yun meeting before us."

Han Xingzi, seeing Hong Yun leaving, remarked with a faintly chilly gaze and a half-smile.

He had already taken note of the reckoning with Hong Yun for almost trapping the Three Veins of Ice Heaven using the Cleansing World Pot.

"Hmph!"

Hong Yun, however, didn’t bother to talk with Han Xingzi, transforming directly into a streak of rainbow light and vanishing from the spot.
