I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 880: Chapter 491 Before Core Formation Chapter 880: Chapter 491 Before Core Formation Fu Zongjue gave Chen Mobai this elixir along with a token.

This was an entry token for a cave dwelling within the Sun Bathing Sea and Golden Crow Immortal City in the Eastern Yi Territory—a property of their Divine Wood Sect.

Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue, whenever they visited the East Barbarians, would usually stay there.

The cave dwelling boasted a Third Rank Superior Grade spirit vein, which was almost sufficient for a cultivator undergoing Core Formation. If one set up a Spirit Gathering Array with top-grade spirit stones, it would be no less favorable than their location in Giant Tree Ridge.

Chen Mobai was deeply touched by the arrangement of the sect.

They not only helped him refine the Golden Liquid Jade Pill but also considered the potential trouble with Meng Hong when he would undergo Core Formation, thus arranging for him convenience in the Sun Bathing Sea.

However, Chen Mobai knew that after the Heavenly Tribulation of Core Formation in the Tianhe Realm, he was intent on returning to the Immortal Gate for the process.

Moreover, as his Longevity Dao Body was still not perfected, he used this as a reason to stay in the Divine Wood Sect for another two years.

Throughout these years, he mostly sat on top of this Fourth Grade Superior spirit vein and engaged in bitter cultivation.

But he also returned to the Immortal Gate twice.

Once was when his cousin, Wang Xinying, succeeded in Foundation Establishment; it was right after her graduation year was extended, which was very fortunate.

If she hadn’t succeeded then, she would have gone to matchmake and marry.

Chen Mobai had a deep bond with her since childhood and naturally wanted to celebrate for her.

He gave her the golden token he acquired from the Xuan Jinzhi as a gift.

Another time was not long ago when Meng Huang made a breakthrough to the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment.

At that moment, although he had infused all the Longevity Tree Sap into his Taoist Body, he was missing the crucial final step to complete it. After a long period of meditation without success, he took the opportunity to relax back at the Immortal Gate.

Who knew that after he returned from guiding Meng Huang through her breakthrough, his cultivation suddenly flowed smoothly, and his blood and bones connected seamlessly.

With the Longevity Dao Body perfected and the preparations for Core Formation nearly complete, Chen Mobai was ready to set out.

He took the Golden Liquid Jade Pill with him and went to pay a visit to Fu Zongjue.

“When you go to the Sun Bathing Sea, act with discretion. While you can be assured of safety within Golden Crow Immortal City, you must still be wary of hired killers from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace. If you’re preparing for Core Formation, you can secretly use an alias to get another cave dwelling.”

Fu Zongjue, having seen much in the Tianhe Realm, had thoroughly considered Chen Mobai’s Core Formation, and thus gave him a thoughtful suggestion.

“Thank you, Ancestor, for your deep kindness. This trip may take several years, so I ask the Ancestor to take special care of Xuan.

Luo Yixuan went missing in Ming Nation, the main camp of the Five Elements Sect, and only the Sect Leader and the two ancestors of the Divine Wood Sect could command their covert operatives there.

“Hmm, if there’s any news, I’ll let you know.”

Chen Mobai expressed his gratitude once more and was about to leave when Fu Zongjue, with a curious expression, stopped him.

“Aren’t you going to ask about the sect’s secret Core Formation Insights?”

“This… my Daoist Body has reached completion, and in my excitement, I forgot about that,”

Chen Mobai immediately slapped his forehead and came up with an excuse.

Primarily, it was because he could access thousands of unique Foundation Establishment experiences at the Immortal Gate. As for the Core Formation Insights unique to the Divine Wood Sect, which were very personal and not particularly universal, he had little interest.

“This knowledge is passed down orally, and before you receive it, you must swear an oath with your Dao Heart never to divulge it.”

Fu Zongjue’s demeanor became serious as he began to impart the Divine Wood Sect’s most precious knowledge to Chen Mobai.

Apart from Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue’s Core Formation Insights, there were also those of True Person Nu Jiang from the Five Elements Sect, and Mo Douguang from Golden Cliff.

What surprised Chen Mobai the most, however, was the last insight—it was from Ancestor Hunyuan of the Five Elements Sect.

But Ancestor Hunyuan’s Core Formation Insights had some disjointed sentences, as if some content in the middle had been deleted.

Chen Mobai guessed that the complete version might have been “Nascent Soul Formation” experiences. When it was passed down, this aspect might have been removed, resulting in the disjointed sentences of the current Core Formation Insights.

As he lamented the closed nature of knowledge transmission in the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai’s expression was one of respectful attention as he listened to Fu Zongjue’s spoken words.

“Alright, that’s all of them. Have you memorized them?”

Half a day later, after Fu Zongjue finished imparting the five sets of Core Formation Insights of the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai nodded and thanked him again.

“Before you go, let me give you one last piece of advice.”

“Please, Ancestor, enlighten me,”

Chen Mobai held great respect for Fu Zongjue.

“When you’re undergoing Core Formation, find a belief for yourself, one that you must succeed for.”

After saying this, Fu Zongjue shared his own story of Core Formation.

At that time, if he hadn’t succeeded, Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang would not have been able to withstand the pressure of the Five Elements Sect. The newly separated Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff would have been destroyed, and all of his friends and family would have perished in the aftermath of the war. These thoughts constituted Fu Zongjue’s mindset during his Core Formation.

It was with the belief that he would die if he didn’t succeed in Core Formation that he was able to surmount the tribulation and achieve what he had today.

After hearing this, Chen Mobai’s expression shifted subtly; such a belief was unimaginable at the Immortal Gate.

For cultivators of the Immortal Gate, if they couldn’t break through a realm, they simply wouldn’t break through. Living a steady life, creating a family, and dying of old age would also be considered a complete life.

Chen Mobai himself didn’t hold such a belief.

To him, if he failed at Core Formation, then he failed. He could always try again.

After all, he had the resources of both realms at his disposal and was young. Time was on his side.

When he was at the Foundation Establishment stage, he had the same mindset.

Now, having listened to Fu Zongjue, Chen Mobai felt that his attitude all this while might have been lacking.
