I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 958: Chapter 526 The First Step to Change the Eastern Wilderness_2 Chapter 958: Chapter 526 The First Step to Change the Eastern Wilderness_2 After Chen Mobai finished speaking, a sliver of spiritual light faintly emerged in Yue Zutao’s mind, and he thought of the supreme method of the Five Elements Sect, his complexion changing dramatically.

“Isn’t this the Primordial Dao Fruit!?”

The Five Elements revolve, and Hun Yuan returns to unity; that is the theory.

However, the specific cultivation method is not at all inherited by the Divine Wood Sect!

“To achieve the Primordial Dao Fruit, one needs to cultivate all Five Elements Cultivation Techniques to the utmost extent, grasping their true essence. Only when the Five Elements unite at the end, can one possibly generate Primordial True Qi. You do not need to do this, you just need to go through the process of converting the Five Elements Essence, which is much simpler.”

As the highest method of the Five Elements Sect, although Zhou Shengqing was not taught it, he often listened to Ancestor Hunyuan expound some of its principles during his cultivation.

When the family split later, Zhou Shengqing organized these into a booklet, originally intending to let the descendants of the sect have some understanding of the Primordial Dao Fruit. Should there ever be a prodigy within the Five Elements Sect who managed to cultivate it, they would have a foundation for understanding and dealing with it.

After Chen Mobai’s Core Formation, all the inheritances of the Divine Wood Sect were opened to him, naturally including this booklet.

The method he had devised for Yue Zutao to dismantle and rebuild his cultivation base was much easier compared to the Primordial Dao Fruit, akin to solving a math problem where the former involves directly applying a formula to find the answer, while the latter requires one to derive the formula from scratch.

A difference between heaven and earth!

“In that case, will my lifespan be enough?”

After listening, Yue Zutao felt that the comprehensive strategy Chen Mobai had devised for him was the best, but he still had some concerns.

“After taking a complete set of Tree Fruits of Immortality, the bottleneck of your Dantian Qi Sea will be broken, which means as long as you have enough elixirs and spiritual energy, you can easily cultivate any Five Elements technique to Foundation Establishment Completion. Although you will need the Five Elements to generate each other, which will waste a lot of time, based on my estimation, the remainder of your lifespan should just about be sufficient.”

Chen Mobai’s understanding of the Five Elements Cultivation Techniques far exceeded that of anyone in the Divine Wood Sect, as his foundation was the Five Elements Cultivation, and he had listened to Elder Qingping’s entire Five Elements Cultivation video course from Qi Cultivation to Nascent Soul more than a dozen times.

“Thank you, Sect Leader, for your guidance. For the rebirth you’ve granted, I’ll heed any command, and dare not disobey!”

Upon hearing this, Yue Zutao stood up and paid his respects to Chen Mobai with the utmost reverence.

“You have toiled thanklessly in Rock Country, defending Northern Abyss City for over a decade, and in the two major battles with Shake Mountain Peak, you fought alongside me on the front lines. Apart from myself, your contributions to the sect are the greatest. Now that I am the Sect Leader, naturally, I will not mistreat anyone who has made significant contributions.”

These words from Chen Mobai filled Yue Zutao with an impulse of ‘a man dies for those who appreciate him,’ and they also revived the ambition that had been bound in his heart for decades.

When he had completely given up, he thought his state of mind was lofty enough to watch the clouds roll by without any intention to stay or leave.

But now, seeing the hope of breaking through his restraints and ascending to higher realms, Yue Zutao realized that deep down, he was still unwilling to accept his fate!

After all, he was once the number one direct disciple, hailed as a genius with the demeanor of “Nascent Soul Formation”!

If it weren’t for the Tree Fruits of Immortality and without Chen Mobai, he would definitely be the third-generation Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect after Chu Zuoshu.

No Hong He, no King Zhou, no E Yun – none of them would have been his match!

The confidence and pride in Yue Zutao’s heart began to emerge at that moment.

With a goal in mind, his entire demeanor changed completely.

Chen Mobai discussed the matter of establishing the inner cabinet with him, something he learned during his time at the Repairing Heaven Institute – those in high positions need a supporting institution that wholeheartedly implements their will.

With his intelligence and mature way of handling things, Yue Zutao quickly understood the role of the inner cabinet.

“Sect Leader, I suggest we also invite Elder Meng, the former Sect Leader, into the inner cabinet. He has a lot of influence within the sect’s Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, and the inner cabinet cannot be composed entirely of young people,” Yue Zutao advised.

After hearing this, Chen Mobai felt it made sense, but he didn’t know whether Meng Hong would be willing.

After all, he had retired and had no hope for Core Formation. He seemed very content fishing and playing chess every day, and the inner cabinet would undoubtedly conflict with the traditions of the Divine Wood Sect in the future. Chen Mobai was not too keen on dragging him into it.

“We can first invite him to take a nominal position, and let Disciple Mu Yuan handle the specific affairs. I believe Elder Meng would be amenable to that.”

Yue Zutao’s words made Chen Mobai nod in agreement. Mu Yuan also had exceptional talent; with some mentoring, he would at least not fall behind Meng Hong and Chu Zuoshu.

The two discussed once more, and Chen Mobai briefly revealed the reforms he planned to implement within the Divine Wood Sect and even across the entire Eastern Wilderness.

Even Yue Zutao, with his wisdom, couldn’t help feeling a tingling sensation in his scalp after hearing the plans.

But what followed was an urge to witness and follow Chen Mobai as he changed the Eastern Wilderness and led the historic current.

In this case, the mediocre were no longer considered.

“Xi Jinghuo has good talent, and you have always had utmost faith in him, so he could serve as a candidate for the cabinet,” suggested Yue Zutao.

Chen Mobai nodded and entrusted the cabinet’s affairs to him.

He had intended to include Yu Lian as well, but upon reflection, Yu Lian’s temperament tended toward the morose. Furthermore, Chen Mobai needed a sharp sword in the shadows, so he decided to observe and test him further.

After confirming the Town Guards for the six nations, Chen Mobai, as the Sect Leader, issued supplementary provisions for the new policies.

The Town Guards could establish small versions of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions within their own territories, which would be under the command of the Town Guard. They could choose their own leaders but had to report to and register with the sect for approval.

Moreover, these small Three Halls and Twelve Divisions had to report their duties to the sect’s equivalent each year and be subject to oversight.

If there was a conflict between the orders of the Town Guard and the higher departments, the matter would be submitted to Shenmu Hall, where the Sect Leader or the cabinet would make the final decision.

Chen Mobai slightly modified the Immortal Gate’s system and applied it to the Divine Wood Sect.

While ensuring that all powers had oversight and restrictions, he also sought to empower the Town Guards with strong subordinates.

Zhou Wangshen, as a member of the Zhou family, displayed his extensive connections at this time, attracting three Foundation Establishment Practitioners from within the sect to serve as Hall Masters in the small Three Halls in Sky Country, and many disciples were willing to join him in the Twelve Divisions.

Although E Yun had many friends, only Yuan Chiye was willing to follow him to Rock Country.

After all, the news that Xuan Shu had re-established the Nanxuan sect at Treasure Color Mountain had spread. Rock Country was where one could most easily earn merits, but it was also the most dangerous of the six Town Guards.

If the Divine Wood Sect went to war with the Nanxuan sect, the disciples in Rock Country would be in the most danger.

As E Yun’s supporter, Chen Mobai naturally couldn’t let him fall behind Zhou Wangshen, so he used his own connections to inquire with Qi Rui and Yu Lian.

Both of them were Chen Mobai’s direct subordinates, and without hesitation, they agreed to follow E Yun to Rock Country.

In this way, the leaders of the three small Halls were assembled.

It was the same with Hong He; three Foundation Establishment Practitioners were arranged from the Penalty Evil Hall to accompany him to Rain Country.

Actually, Hong He had wanted to refuse since his choice of distant Rain Country was not due to a fear of war but because he did not want to be involved in the competition for the Sect Leader.

However, being part of the sect, competition was inevitable; whatever Zhou Wangshen and E Yun had, his side must also have.

Compared to them, the remaining three Town Guards, who had stepped down as deputy heads of the Twelve Divisions, found it somewhat awkward; only one or two Foundation Establishment Practitioners were willing to follow them.

However, when it came to recruiting Qi Practitioners, they were much more efficient, as many disciples had originally been under their command.

“Once affairs here at the sect come to a close, I will also tour your territories and visit the other sects in the Eastern Wilderness. I hope the results will satisfy me,” Chen Mobai said as he bid farewell to the six.

The matters here naturally referred to Zhou Shengqing’s Nascent Soul Formation.

After that, he planned to visit the Five Elements Sect to investigate the disappearance of his little disciple in Ming Nation.
