I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1027: Chapter 563 Ming Nation Guiyuan Mountain_2 Chapter 1027: Chapter 563 Ming Nation Guiyuan Mountain_2 But this was even better, as it allowed them to take in Hunyuan Immortal City in one glance.

Their Teleportation Array was atop a high mountain, and the Immortal City lay at the foothills, leaning against the mountain and beside the water. Two wide rivers intersected at the heart of the city, fostering the largest cultivator city in the Eastern Wilderness.

However, several key areas of the Immortal City were covered by colorful auspicious clouds, preventing even Chen Mobai and his group, who were overlooking from above, from seeing through them.

Soon, Kong Shanxu led Chen Mobai and the others to the main gate of the Immortal City.

The high city walls were built with spirit-enhanced Qing stones, and powerful runes surfaced on the walls, intertwining with the Large Formation that enveloped the entire Immortal City to form an invisible barrier separating the inside from the outside.

There were one large and two small gates on the city wall.

The large one was the main gate, and the small ones were the side gates on the left and right.

The main gate and the left side gate were closed; only the small gate on the right was open, guarded by disciples of the Five Elements Sect. Cultivators who wished to enter or leave the city had to go through here.

“Sect Master Chen, please use the left side gate!”

Kong Shanxu waved at the Five Elements Sect disciples on the city wall, prompting the previously closed left side gate to slowly open. Then, two rows of Five Elements Sect disciples emerged from inside, lining up like honor guards.

“Who could arrive and warrant the opening of the main gate?”

Chen Mobai stopped at the entrance of Hunyuan Immortal City and asked.

“In the days when the old Ancestor was alive, the main gate would be opened to welcome his two friends, Elder Huangwu and Baiwu Ancestor, when they visited,” Kong Shanxu immediately replied, explaining that it was not a slight against Chen Mobai but rather that this was the custom of Hunyuan Immortal City.

Only Nascent Soul Cultivators could enter through the main gate.

Since every Immortal City is equipped with a no-fly zone, being able to walk through a certain gate upon entering on foot signifies one’s status.

Although Chen Mobai was the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, he had not yet reached the status and level of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

“I hope that the next time I come, I will be able to enter through the main gate,” Chen Mobai responded with a smile after hearing the explanation.

Kong Shanxu pretended not to understand and led him towards the small gate on the left, where palanquins and the like were already parked inside.

Chen Mobai followed local customs and sat down in one.

He had wanted to take a closer look at Hunyuan Immortal City, but unfortunately, it seemed that the Five Elements Sect had cleared the area in advance. Other than the Five Elements Sect disciples, he saw no Loose Cultivators or others on the streets.

It seemed he would only be able to see the true customs and culture of the Immortal City after he managed to conquer it in the future.

With these thoughts, Chen Mobai stopped looking around.

After an indeterminate amount of time, he finally arrived at the Chaos Palace, at the very center of the Immortal City.

This was where Ancestor Hunyuan used to cultivate in seclusion, and now, naturally, it was occupied by Zhou Ye.

“I greet Brother Zhou!”

Upon alighting, Chen Mobai saw Zhou Ye waiting at the entrance to the palace and greeted him with a small smile, performing the etiquette of a junior.

“Although we stem from the same root, we have already split into separate sects, so it would be better if Sect Master Chen refrained from calling me your senior,” Zhou Ye said calmly, without giving any face to Chen Mobai.

“Since True Person Zhou has said so, I can rest assured,” Chen Mobai replied.

“Oh, how so?”

“With that being the case, when I take this city in the future, I won’t have to consider the old Ancestor’s reputation, and I won’t need to show any leniency to True Person Zhou,” explained Chen Mobai.

Kong Shanxu and the others broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing the exchange between the two men.

It felt as if these two were about to come to blows at any moment!

If they really fought, the balance of power in the Eastern Wilderness would be compromised in an instant!

For both the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect, it wouldn’t be a good thing. Instead, it would cause factions like the Snow-blowing Palace, Back to Sky Valley, and Nanxuan Sect to cheer.

Zhou Ye clearly had not expected Chen Mobai to be so direct. Hadn’t they said that although Sect Master Chen was a Sword Cultivator, he was supposed to be quite tactful?

“It seems Sect Master Chen has not come for a friendly visit.”

However, having said that and under the scrutiny of so many Five Elements Sect disciples, Zhou Ye simply couldn’t show weakness and could only respond with an icy tone.

In Chen Mobai’s mind, if he wanted to unify the Eastern Wilderness, it would be best if Zhou Ye, the heir of Ancestor Hunyuan, were dead.

Only then would he have sufficient moral high ground to annex the Five Elements Sect.

But before that, he still needed to obtain the cultivation method of the Primordial Dao Fruit from Zhou Ye’s mouth.

“It was a tiring journey coming all the way south, I’m somewhat exhausted. How about I take a few days to rest before I pay a friendly visit?”

Chen Mobai’s attitude made Zhou Ye frown. After a cold snort, he turned around and went straight back into the Chaos Palace.

“Since Sect Master Chen is tired, I will take you to rest at Qingmu Hall first.”

Kong Shanxu immediately came over and led Chen Mobai towards Qingmu Hall in the center of Hunyuan Immortal City.

This great hall, once presided over by Zhou Shengqing, was an appropriate place to accommodate Chen Mobai.

“The spiritual energy here is somewhat weak.”

After entering Qingmu Hall, Chen Mobai felt and commented to Kong Shanxu, who immediately indicated that he would notify the Formation Division in the Immortal City. Since Zhou Shengqing’s departure, Qingmu Hall had been without a master for nearly a century, and its spiritual energy had been extracted by the Mysterious Five Elements Array and sent to the Chaos Palace.

…

Ming Nation, Guiyuan Mountain!

Guided by Liu Wenbo, Chen Mobai arrived at the last place where Luo Yixuan disappeared.

“Master, there’s a Foundation Establishment Practitioner in the Guiyuan Sect. She’s quite old, so everyone calls her Elder Ming. Aside from her, the rest are insignificant.”

Over the years, Liu Wenbo had been developing the Little Nan Mountain Shop within the territory of the Five Elements Sect. Using the identity of Chen Mobai’s eldest disciple, he was almost treated as an honored guest by all powers and commerce associations.

He had quietly gathered detailed information about the power of the Guiyuan Sect a long time ago. If it weren’t for Chen Mobai’s order to personally investigate, he would have been tempted to take action himself.

Chen Mobai, with his Void Spirit Eye, glanced at Guiyuan Mountain, a very ordinary Rank-3 intermediate-grade spiritual vein land. Indeed, there was an aged spiritual power lurking within.

It must be that Elder Ming.

“Let’s go!”

After reaching Core Formation, Chen Mobai no longer feared anyone in the Eastern Wilderness. Thus, he directly headed with Liu Wenbo towards the most vibrant part of the spiritual vein on Guiyuan Mountain.

“Which fellow daoist…?”

At the very peak of Guiyuan Mountain, an old crone with an ashen face felt Liu Wenbo’s presence and emerged discontentedly from her wooden hut, leaning on a wooden staff.

However, upon coming out and seeing two people, her expression suddenly changed.

Because Chen Mobai was standing there, yet she couldn’t sense any spiritual energy from him.

There were only two possibilities for this.

One was that he had cultivated their sect’s secret Returning Essence Technique to the peak, and the second possibility was that this person’s cultivation realm was far above hers.

“How should I address this fellow daoist?”

Elder Ming’s expression became grave as she planted her wooden staff on the mountaintop. The large formation at the heart of Guiyuan Mountain silently activated.

“You must have realized by now, I have cultivated your Returning Essence Technique.”

With a light smile, Chen Mobai then dispelled this technique. The powerful spiritual power of the Golden Core Stage emerged, and along with a bronze mirror flying out from his sleeve, the Guiyuan Sect’s formation had hardly begun to operate when it was forcefully interrupted and suppressed by him.

Elder Ming felt the formation, which she usually controlled effortlessly, suddenly become sluggish and even felt the sensation from the spirit vein growing weak, which greatly changed her complexion.

“It turns out to be Sect Master Chen of the Divine Wood Sect!”

Golden Core Cultivators in the entire Eastern Wilderness were few, and Chen Mobai’s Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, after several battles, had also become well-known, so she recognized him immediately upon his action.

“This Returning Essence Technique was brought to me by my young disciple from your Guiyuan Sect, but she has since disappeared on your Guiyuan Mountain. I believe you should be able to clarify this matter for me.”

As Chen Mobai spoke, he stepped forward, golden flames rising in his eyes. The formidable and terrifying power of the Golden Flame made Elder Ming’s gray hair begin to burn and melt away.
