I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1002: Chapter 550: The Opportunity for Chen Mobai’s Enlightenment Chapter 1002: Chapter 550: The Opportunity for Chen Mobai’s Enlightenment Chen Mobai’s gaze met Bai Cai’s, and he smiled slightly. The latter seemed a little stunned before he quickly nodded in agreement.

“Sect Master Chen, could it be that the border line is somewhat inappropriate?”

Zhu Jinyu’s voice was somewhat soft as she spoke. Facing Chen Mobai, the only Golden Core Cultivator and Sect Leader in the Eastern Wilderness, she tried her best to demonstrate the dignity befitting the Sect Leader of the Snow-blowing Palace, being unwilling to concede on the matter of the border line.

“These boundaries were set by Ancestor Hunyuan and agreed upon by True Person Kong. Does Sect Leader Zhu not know of this or do you perhaps believe that the limits set by the Five Elements Sect are not something our Divine Wood Sect is qualified to inherit?”

Chen Mobai pointed to the map he had brought with him. He was still smiling, but his tone had grown colder.

“You exaggerate the matter, Sect Master Chen. Yet this particular place has been settled by quite a few villagers from Snow Country for four or five generations. If the border line is drawn there, those who cherish their home and land would find it extremely difficult to relocate. Should it lead to unrest, turmoil would again reign in the mortal world, and if that sparks another war between the two nations, I’m afraid it would result in a bloody conflict,” Zhu Jinyu said, using an excuse she had thought through well in advance. When Ancestor Hunyuan was around, the entire Eastern Wilderness had to look to him for their very survival, naturally resulting in boundaries that were particularly unfavorable to the Snow-blowing Palace.

In later years, taking advantage of the division within the Five Elements Sect, the Snow-blowing Palace hinted for the mortal dynasty of Snow Country to extend the borders substantially towards Yun Country and Lei Nation.

At that time, the Divine Wood Sect was too preoccupied with the war against the main branch of the Five Elements Sect to take notice, and later on, to prevent Kong Lingling from siding with the Five Elements Sect, Zhou Shengqing even made a personal visit to the Snow-blowing Palace.

The two Nascent Soul Ancestors discussed many matters and agreed that the Snow-blowing Palace’s occupied territories of Yun Country and Lei Nation would belong to Snow Country, with the Divine Wood Sect not pursuing the matter. Kong Lingling also agreed not to intervene in the internal conflict of the Five Elements Sect, ensuring that those disciples of Ancestor Hunyuan could fight their battle unencumbered.

However, at the time, considering Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang might not be a match for Zhou Xu and his party, Kong Lingling, to avoid being held accountable by the Five Elements Sect in their possible defeat, ensured all agreements were verbal.

Therefore, even though Zhu Jinyu knew that the border lines were agreed upon by Zhou Shengqing and Kong Lingling, she dare not mention it openly.

In the Eastern Wilderness, agreements that were not put down in writing and bound by oaths were often taken lightly and faces could be turned with no recognition.

It was precisely because of this that, although she was on her own territory, Zhu Jinyu felt cornered by the pressure from Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Cultivator.

Over the years, whether the Eastern Wilderness was chaotic or not was all determined by the Divine Wood Sect.

She deeply feared that if her tone was too firm, Chen Mobai, who had led the Divine Wood Sect through many battles to the south and north and had acquired the moniker of a war deity, might become displeased and lose his temper.

Yet to simply return the territory that had been occupied and developed as their own for seventy to eighty years without any fight, Zhu Jinyu was highly reluctant.

“There’s no need for Sect Leader Zhu to worry about that. As long as you return the border line, the Divine Wood Sect will naturally arrange for someone to guide and educate the people, ensuring that there will be no unrest under your jurisdiction in Snow Country,” Chen Mobai reiterated.

As a cultivator born of an Immortal Gate, he knew all too well that a centralized power was the most capable of development and bringing quiet and peace to all beings.

The Divine Wood Sect now occupied one-third of the Eastern Wilderness, and his goal during his tenure as Sect Leader was to cultivate two more Golden Core Cultivators within the sect and then bring the whole northern region of the Eastern Wilderness under his sect’s control.

Currently, the northern Eastern Wilderness was occupied by two powers—the Snow-blowing Palace and the Nanxuan Sect.

Among these, since the Nanxuan Sect was backed by the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, and Zhou Shengqing had not transformed into an Embodiment Nascent Soul, Chen Mobai could only focus on developing his own sect’s power and suppress the other with various methods other than outright force.

Compared to the Nanxuan Sect, the Snow-blowing Palace was much weaker.

However, since Zhou Shengqing had made an agreement with Kong Lingling, without a solid pretext, they would not engage in mutual aggression and invasion.

Moreover, Chen Mobai was a person who favored peace, and he wondered if it was possible to use non-military means to pressure and gradually erode the Snow-blowing Palace, introducing their territories into the Divine Wood Sect with a divide and conquer strategy.

This was also the second decree of the new policy Chen Mobai had set after he took over as Sect Leader.

The so-called new policy could be summarized in four words: Unify the Eastern Wilderness!

However, Chen Mobai was aware that this new policy seemed too grand for many cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect, so up to this point, he had only shared it with a select few like Yue Zutao.

He had always been very disciplined, and upon arriving in the Tianhe Realm and setting foot in the Eastern Wilderness, after witnessing the chaos here, the idea had been continuously in his mind.

Over twenty years had passed, and he came to understand the Eastern Wilderness better and better. The original idea turned into a firm belief over this extended period!

He intended to end the chaos of the Eastern Wilderness and bring an unprecedented peace to this land that had suffered from constant warfare and where mortals were treated like livestock.

To this day, Chen Mobai finally possessed the power and influence to implement this ideal!

As long as he continued to advance towards this goal, one day, the Eastern Wilderness would transform into the “Little Immortal Gate” of his vision.

He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion or something else.

The moment Chen Mobai ascended to the position of Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, all those past scattered thoughts in his mind merged into the four words: Unify the Eastern Wilderness.
