I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 615: Chapter 396 I’m not targeting anyone_1

The celebration for Yin Qingmei didn’t just invite young people, like Chen Mobai, who were at the Foundation Establishment stage, but many True Disciples also received invitations and attended the event.

The Divine Wood Sect, due to splitting from the Five Elements Sect less than a century ago, still has a fairly simple hierarchical structure.

Two elders guard the three major halls, the others who helped establish the sect, each controlling the twelve branches, are Cultivators who established their foundation. Below them, are young people like Chen Mobai from the Red River, who established their foundation after the founding of the Divine Wood Sect.

Among them, the line is drawn at Yue Zutao, who is considered a genius within the sect that emerged during both the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect’s times. He had also been the top head of the Divine Wood Sect for ten years.

Following Yue Zutao, came people like Fu Xingzhou. However, in those ten years, no one like Chen Mobai or Red River, suppressed and dominated an era with their unstoppable talent.

Even Fu Xingzhou failed his first attempt at taking the Foundation Building Pill. It took the face-saving intervention of Elder Fu on Qin Mei’s behalf, giving him another pill, for him to narrowly establish his foundation.

Those like Fu Xingzhou marked a low point for the Divine Wood Sect. After all, at that time, they had just ceased their battle with the Five Elements Sect. Cultivators within their four nations were inherently mistrustful of the Divine Wood Sect, and many Cultivator families were leaning towards the Five Elements Sect, preferring a roundabout journey to send their talents to the Five Elements Sect.

Fortunately, the incumbent Sect Leader, Meng Hong, identified this problem and lifted restrictions on recruiting disciples.

Even Loose Cultivators who learned their skills from a variety of sources, so long as they hadn’t committed a great crime, like murder against a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, were welcomed. Everything else was overlooked; the objective was first to bring them in.

As a result, talents like Red River, E Yun, and Mu Yuan, who were on par with Yue Zutao, came forth.

Among them, Red River was considered the most gifted talent in the Divine Wood Sect since its establishment, and was almost certainly destined to reach the Core Formation stage.

Everyone thought Red River was unbeatable, until a few years later when Yin Qingmei, who possessed the Heavenly Spiritual Root, was recruited.

With the Heavenly Spiritual Root, barring any incidents, core formation was pretty much guaranteed.

The streak of good luck didn’t stop. The last batch of recruitments brought in Chen Mobai, an unrivalled talent in swordsmanship technique.

Chen Mobai’s spiritual root talent was comparable to that of Red River and others, but the shocking swordsmanship talent he demonstrated allowed everyone in the Divine Wood Sect to see another Mo Douguang in him.

Even those who knew about Chen Mobai’s “true” Sword Dao Realm, such as respected elders like Zhou, believed that Mobai’s swordsmanship talents surpassed even those of Mo Douguang.

Among the older generation of Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Divine Wood Sect, only three or four had a fighting chance of reaching the Core Formation stage.

But, the young ones, like Chen Mobai, who had just established their foundation, seemed to have a high chance of reaching the Core Formation stage.

In the Eastern Wilderness, a Core Formation Cultivator, was godlike!

Thus, many older Cultivators of mediocre potential began to hand over their power and authority to these young disciples like Chen Mobai, under the subtle hint of the two senior elders, clearing the path for them to rise.

If Yue Zutao hadn’t been constrained in his cultivation level by the Tree Fruit, he would probably already be one of the twelve branch inspectors.

As for Red River, Zhou Wangshen, E Yun, immediately after establishing their foundations, they were appointed to guard three different countries. After ten years of performance, they will get to manage one of the twelve branches of the sect.

It was a generally accepted consensus within the Divine Wood Sect that the future Sect Leader would emerge from among Red River and the others, following Chu Zuoshu.

But then who knew that a more monstrous talent, Chen Mobai, would show up.

Moreover, after Chen Mobai, Yu Lian and Mu Yuan also looked like potential candidates.

The surge of talent brought both shock and joy to the two senior elders; it also brought dilemmas in choosing a successor.

However, this was not a pressing matter. Even Zhou Shengqing, the oldest, had two hundred years of life left, and Fu Zongjue was in his prime. They could afford to wait a hundred years to see who was the truest talent.

The two senior elders had plenty of lifespan and could wait.

However, some older Cultivators at Foundation Establishment couldn’t wait, and many old Sect members had already started placing their bets on potential successors.

Among them, Red River was the disciple of elder Fu, and was bestowed with exceptional talent. He was favored by the majority.

Clashing with Red River’s talent was Zhou Wangshen, the descendant of elder Zhou.

E Yun was the choice of those in the sect who didn’t want to choose between the two elders, but who were more interested in secluded cultivation. However, these people were not few in number either.

Today’s celebration for Yin Qingmei was also seen as a display of strength for the Red River branch led by the Penalty Evil Hall.

However, there will always be those who go against the grain.

“Brother Red River, I heard that you’ve made a breakthrough to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment while guarding the Rain Country. This is truly a joyous occasion.”

After Yin Qingmei made her entrance and spoke, a Qi Cultivation True Disciple suddenly stood up, walked over to Red River, and proposed a toast with a look of admiration on his face.

“It’s nothing to be mentioned.”

Red River responded with a slight smile, graciously downing his drink.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall began to heat up. Many True Disciples, who hadn’t even successfully established their foundation, were shocked to hear Red River had made another breakthrough.

“I heard that brother Zhou also made an early breakthrough to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. It seems that the future of our sect will be in the hands of brother Red River and brother Wang Wangshen.”

At this moment, another True Disciple spoke up. It was one of Zhou Wangshen’s men.”

“My breakthrough was largely due to the help of external factors. Compared to brother Red River, I’m still a bit behind.”
