I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1032: Chapter 566: Finding the Disciple Chapter 1032: Chapter 566: Finding the Disciple “If cultivators from the living world wish to become ghost cultivators, they must completely extinguish their physical bodies that remain in the yang realm before they can enter the yin world.”

“Correspondingly, if a ghost cultivator from the yin world enters the living world, they will trigger a Heavenly Tribulation due to the lack of yang energy, and the higher their cultivation level, the stronger the tribulation.”

“The so-called ‘yang energy’ refers to one’s lifespan. Thus, we ghost cultivators who have come to the living world through the Yellow Springs Path must use the Art of Rebirth in the Underworld to find a body that still has an unspent lifespan to possess, to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation.”

Elder Ming explained in detail.

In times past, some ghost cultivators who reached the living world via the Yellow Springs Path, unaware of these heavenly rules, soon after bursting out of the path, they were locked onto by the Heavenly Tribulation due to their unrestrained release of ghostly qi, turning to ash.

Elder Ming, who hailed from the Longevity Sect and was aware of this, did her utmost to conceal herself. It wasn’t until she successfully cultivated a Ghost Fetus in the Womb and possessed a new body that she began to reveal her strength and presence bit by bit.

Even so, these ghost cultivators didn’t dare to strike with their full power.

Because even with a body cultivated from a Ghost Fetus in the Womb, it would not be a perfect fit with their own soul, and the erosion of lifespan by ghostly qi meant their yang energy depleted at twice the rate of ordinary people.

Thus, the previous Ghost Fetus in the Womb Elder Ming had cultivated to the stage of a Ghost Pill, though seemingly powerful, actually had only half the lifespan of a typical Golden Core Cultivator after her possession.

For this reason, after over two hundred years, her yang energy was nearly exhausted, and she needed to prepare another new body to help her avoid the Heavenly Tribulation.

Ghost cultivators generally do not search for a Ghost Fetus in the Womb near their place of hiding.

Elder Ming’s previous targets included a true successor of Back to Sky Valley, the natural daughter of Lu family of Spring Country that practiced immortal cultivation, and a loose Foundation Establishment practitioner from Yun Meng Ze.

Each of these three had their advantages and disadvantages, and Elder Ming had been indecisive about which one to choose.

But at that time, Luo Yixuan appeared before her, which was exactly what she needed—like finding a missing piece to a puzzle.

Luo Yixuan alone was better than the three she had chosen combined.

After inquiring, she learned that Luo Yixuan was a cultivator from the Divine Wood Sect with a mentor who was hailed as a Sword Cultivation Genius, born into a family with only a Foundation Establishment Practitioner and with a rather ordinary background. So, Elder Ming felt at ease kidnapping her.

However, the news of Chen Mobai’s Core Formation came while she was cultivating Luo Yixuan.

This was somewhat unexpected for Elder Ming.

Because in the Eastern Wilderness, she had heard of no fewer than a hundred cultivators hailed as geniuses, but the number who had actually managed to achieve Core Formation could be counted on one hand.

But now that the Huangquan Holy Fruit had been consumed, she would have to stick to the chosen path.

If Chen Mobai really did come looking for his disciple, Elder Ming was confident she could capture him within one move, even though he was a novice Golden Core stage Sword Cultivator.

It wasn’t until the news that Zhou Shengqing might have “Nascent Soul Formation” and had effortlessly killed three great ghost cultivators and two Golden Core cultivators came that Elder Ming was truly shaken.

She even began considering leaving the Eastern Wilderness.

However, after waiting for some time, she found that there was no movement from Zhou Shengqing, who was said to be recuperating his elemental energy in seclusion according to the Divine Wood Sect. But Elder Ming, who came from the Longevity Sect, immediately thought of a Forbidden Technique.

The Reverse Longevity Technique!

Realizing this, she completely reassured herself.

As long as no Nascent Soul Cultivator intervened, she was invincible in the Eastern Wilderness!

Then, she encountered Chen Mobai, who had cultivated the Pure Yang Scroll. Full of confidence, she unleashed all her divine skills and magic artifacts, yet she was refined down to the last wisp of soul’s spiritual light.

“How many ghost cultivators are hidden in the Eastern Wilderness?”

Chen Mobai did not know the journey of Elder Ming’s heart and asked another question.

As a ruler aspiring to unify the Eastern Wilderness, he needed to know how many obstacles and opponents still lurked in the shadows.

“To my knowledge, including myself, there were six of us at the Golden Core level. Three have been slain by your Divine Wood Sect, one is hidden in the ruins near the three northern countries of the Eastern Wilderness, and another is on an island in Yun Meng Ze, pretending to be a Magic Daoist monk—which is not really pretending, as he was a Devil Cultivator in his past life.”

After hearing Elder Ming’s answer, Chen Mobai felt relieved.

Six great ghost cultivators, three killed by Zhou Shengqing, with Elder Ming falling into his hands, and the remaining two, once he had time to track them down, would also experience the power of the Pure Yang Scroll.

“There are no Nascent Soul level ones, right?”

But, just to be cautious, Chen Mobai asked again.

“There are none here in the Eastern Wilderness, because ghost cultivators of that level have such dense yin energy that as soon as they show themselves in the living world, they almost immediately trigger a Heavenly Tribulation, which is hard to hide from. Moreover, to exert their full strength, they need to possess the flesh of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator—beings whose power is even greater than their own.”

Elder Ming’s words put Chen Mobai at ease.

However, deep inside, he still held a slight regret, wondering whether his Pure Yang Scroll could overcome a large gap in the realm and counter ghost cultivators.

But it was just a thought, for if he really faced a Nascent Soul Cultivator, running as fast as possible would be the course of action.

As Chen Mobai pondered this, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and a sudden chill enveloped everything between heaven and earth.

“The Midnight Cold Tide is upon us, we can open the Yin Yang Rift now…”

Elder Ming’s divine sense transmitted a peculiar and unfathomable technique into Chen Mobai’s mind. After reading through it once, to ensure there were no accidents, he carefully sought further instruction.

[The Saint Heir cares so much about his disciple, I hope when they meet, they won’t blame me.]
