I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 617: Chapter 397 – Changes of Spiritual Root 1

Chen Mobai originally thought that his successful practice of Sword Sha was already widely publicized.

He even thought that Hong He and Zhou Wangshen both possessed strengths equivalent to Sword Sha, which was why they dared to challenge him to a magic duel.

Who would have thought that ignorance is truly bliss?

After calming the room, the words spoken by Chen Mobai were finally recognized by everyone.

“The talent Chen Mobai has for the Sword Dao truly stands out from the ordinary.”

Even after losing, Hong He conceded without reservations.

“I just happened to be better at duelling.”

When facing his peers, Chen Mobai was rather modest. But the gaze of the crowd was different now — he was no longer seen as just slightly superior, but as completely invincible.

If one were to judge by the cultivation realm and magic duels, it was certain that he would be the future sect leader.

“Brother Chen, I will catch up with you in the future,” Hong He said hopefully, expressing his determination. Despite his loss, he believed that it was mainly because his cultivation techniques and magic abilities were lacking.

At the Foundation Establishment level, this Green Flames Sword Slaughter was invincible.

However, at least both of their cultivation realms were on par—both at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Hong He decided to work harder in this aspect, striving to be the first among his peers to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, or even Core Formation.

Chen Mobai simply nodded and didn’t say anything more.

The celebration continued as planned.

Yin Qingmei took the stage and demonstrated her Longevity Technique. With her Heavenly Wood spiritual foundation, practicing this specific technique from the Divine Wood Sect made her highly advantageous.

Though she had only just started her Foundation Establishment, her Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light evolved like a spirit snake, demonstrating a proficiency that made everyone feel inadequate.

However, Chen Mobai noticed traces of the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue in Yin Qingmei’s technique.

It was a technique he had reported to the two Elders and was likely taught to Yin Qingmei by the Elder Fu, considering her status.

Later, when Yin Qingmei came to give him a toast, Chen Mobai exchanged a few words with her, recalling their first encounter in Southstream Market and once again expressing his gratitude.

“I was just doing my duty as a messenger,” Yin Qingmei said with a smile. Clearly, she remembered the incident from eight years ago. In fact, even if she had forgotten about all the other disciples she recruited in Yun Country, she would not forget about Chen Mobai.

“I think you seem to have practiced the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue. There’s a companion skill called Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue, which I also obtained from the Divine Tree Secret Realm,” said Chen Mobai. He intended to pass it on to Yin Qingmei as gratitude for her help.

“Thank you, Brother Chen, for passing on the secret technique. I’m also about to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm to receive the sect’s real inheritance. I’ve heard that Brother Chen is the person in the sect who is most familiar with the secret realm, so may I ask if you can provide some guidance in the future?”

After Chen Mobai passed on the Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue, Yin Qingmei’s eyes brightened. She even paddled the canoe further, asking him about the Divine Tree Secret Realm.

“Not a problem at all. I should be in Divine Wood City for a while, so feel free to visit whenever you’re free.”

When Yin Qingmei finished her toast, it signalled that the time was almost up.

Chen Mobai was the first to excuse himself.

Once he left, Hong He found the gathering dull, and following him, the newly promoted cultivators at Foundation Establishment like Zhou Wangshen and E Yun also began to excuse themselves.

In the end, only a few regular Qi Cultivation disciples remained. They took advantage of this rare opportunity to exchange knowledge amongst themselves, and only dispersed in the late hours of the night.

After looking at the data displayed on his palm-sized Spirit-Testing Instrument, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but marvel.

“Brother Chen, what do you think?”

Sitting opposite him, Yin Qingmei asked nervously. She came to visit today to ask about the Divine Tree Secret Realm. Chen Mobai decided to first check her spiritual root values.

“With your Heavenly Wood Spirit Root, you should definitely receive the best opportunities in the Secret Realm. The most suitable for you in the Magic Treasure Tree should be the ‘Verdant Wood Heart’, but if you obtain the ‘Longevity Fruit’, don’t get discouraged.”

“The Talent Tree will give you a suitable refining technique for the treasures you obtain from the Magic Treasure Tree. But it’s also possible that due to your excellent Spiritual Root, you might stem the real inheritance technique of the Eternal Sect.”

“As for the final Divine Dao Tree, just relax and try your best to move forward.”

Chen Mobai was able to share his rich experiences, but given that Yin Qingmei did not practice Duality Gong, it was relatively easy to speculate the benefits she could receive from the Secret Realm.

“Thank you for your guidance, Brother Chen.”

Hong He shared his experience in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, but he believed his level of understanding was not as deep as Chen Mobai’s, hence she decided to come and visit him for more advice.

“I hope you don’t mind if I ask, how far did you manage to step forward in front of the Divine Dao Tree?”

Before leaving, Yin Qingmei couldn’t help but ask that question. As many cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect would not publicize their achievements here, because they generally don’t perform well.

“Try not to have unrealistic aspirations, sister.”

In response, Chen Mobai only replied with a light smile.

He was not one to show off, therefore he didn’t mention that he had recently managed 12 steps, nearly passing the final challenge in front of the Divine Dao Tree.

“I accept your advice, Brother Chen. I understand.”

Yin Qingmei bowed her head in apology, yet deep down, she felt somewhat unconvinced.
