I Have A Cultivation World

“May I ask why this Daoist Brother is inside my Cave Dwelling?”

Chen Mobai spoke, now that he was the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, he was entitled to claim this Water Mansion as his own.

“Oh, who would have thought that this Water Mansion would actually belong to Junior Brother Chen?”

As the male cultivator spoke, he turned around. Clad in a pale blue Daoist robe, with dark skin yet handsome features and a tall, straight posture, he exuded an ordinary yet eye-catching air of heroism.

“Brother Nu Jiang?”

In the Eastern Wilderness, Golden Core Cultivators were few and far between, and those who would call Chen Mobai a junior brother were only from the Five Elements Sect.

After eliminating all other possibilities, it could only be the owner of Wind Rain Hamlet, True Person Nu Jiang of the Five Elements Sect’s Water Vein, whom he had yet to meet!

“Correct, it’s me. This place was originally opened up by Liu Yanpei at my behest, so that I could have a constant supply of Azure Blood Carps and Jade Bamboo Shoots.”

After hearing Nu Jiang’s words, Chen Mobai felt somewhat embarrassed. He hadn’t expected that his so-called Land of Dragon Prosperity actually belonged to the brother before him.

And he had claimed it to be his own Cave Dwelling.

“During the chaos of war, I plunged into the Azure Waves Lake in my panic, to wake up and find myself in this Water Mansion, where I acquired the Blackwater Cultivation and began my journey of cultivation with the resources here…”

Chen Mobai began to explain to Nu Jiang. This brother had a very good relationship with Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang, but because he was burdened with the heavy responsibility of suppressing the beasts of Cloud Dream Marsh, he could not act on his own accord.

“The top-quality piece I left behind, along with this Cave Dwelling, was merely to satisfy my own cravings. I never expected that it would bring a peerless genius of the Sword Cultivation to the Wood Vein. Consider it repayment for the teachings I received from the second brother.”

Nu Jiang had a free-spirited personality, and after listening to Chen Mobai, he was even more delighted.

“Why has Brother come over here today?”

Chen Mobai, hearing him say this, also relaxed and asked.

“Consider it a visit to see you. After I set foot on the land of Yun Country and remembered this other mansion here, I thought I’d stop by first to check it out. I didn’t expect you to come over and make it your first order of business to visit this place too.”

Nu Jiang’s words made Chen Mobai curious. Although his whereabouts were not secretive, as the master of Wind Rain Hamlet in the Five Elements Sect’s Water Vein, Nu Jiang carried a significant responsibility—wasn’t he worried that leaving his post would lead to the escape of a Rank-4 demonic beast in the center of Cloud Dream Marsh?

“People from the Dongwu Sun family came seeking help, mentioning that the number of demonic beasts on their side is increasing and becoming harder to fend off. They hope our sect can send someone to aid.”

“And what does this have to do with my Divine Wood Sect?”

Chen Mobai was very lucid—Ancestor Hunyuan’s mantle was inherited by Zhou Ye and the Five Elements Sect, and they had already separated from one another.

“They’ve found five Rank-3 beasts. Such a number indicates only one possibility—that the seal left by Elder Sun Huangwu of Dongwu is failing. If we ignore this, it could very well trigger the collapse of the entire barrier, allowing the Rank-4 beast to break free.”

Nu Jiang briefly explained the gravity of the situation. Chen Mobai nodded in understanding.

“The Eastern Wilderness cannot withstand the devastation of a Rank-4 beast at the moment. What would Brother Nu Jiang suggest?”

“Our sect will collaborate with Dongwu for a massive monster hunting operation in Cloud Dream Marsh. It’s difficult for me to leave my post at Wind Rain Hamlet, and within the Eastern Wilderness, only the Divine Wood Sect has the most Golden Core Cultivators. Could you spare two to help?”

“Doesn’t the Five Elements Sect also have Sheng Shijie and Zhou Ye?”

“Sheng Shijie is terribly afraid of water, losing much of her strength in Cloud Dream Marsh, and Zhou Ye will not leave Hunyuan Immortal City for such matters.”

Nu Jiang sighed. If it were possible to secure the help of the two Golden Core Cultivators from the Five Elements Sect, why would he bother coming to Yun Country?

The last time the Cloud Dream Marsh Monster caused havoc, it was he who invited Fu Zongjue and Mo Douguang to assist.

“I will need to return to my sect and discuss this with my three senior brothers.”

Chen Mobai did not agree outright, but indeed, chaos in Cloud Dream Marsh could not be allowed; otherwise, if a Rank-4 beast emerged, even if he managed to unify the Eastern Wilderness, it would probably be turned upside down by its rampage onshore.

“Yes, the Dongwu Sun Family isn’t easy to deal with either. They should be able to hold out for a few years, but Junior Brother Chen is still better off making a decision sooner rather than later, lest the seal truly breaks and fails.”

“`

Today, Nu Jiang came over primarily for this matter.

In the past, he always discussed matters with Zhou Shengqing, but recently he could not contact Zhou Shengqing using the usual talismans, leading Nu Jiang to speculate that his Second Senior Brother might have died. Since Chen Mobai, the new Sect Leader, had arrived in Yun Country, he took the opportunity to come over for a discussion.

“Among the Azure Blood Carps raised by the Liu family, there are Rank-2 ones. Since Brother Nu Jiang has come, why not let me treat you well?”

After discussing the matter, Nu Jiang was about to take his leave when Chen Mobai suggested having a meal together.

“This… is not very appropriate, is it?”

Rank-2 Azure Blood Carps were essentially used for breeding; killing them to eat would be tantamount to making the Liu family bleed. Even when Ancestor Hunyuan was alive, Nu Jiang did not dare to do so.

“Patriarch Liu Jingxian knew I was coming and had already slaughtered one in advance to stew. Green Bamboo Ridge also sent over some treasured dried Rank-2 bamboo shoots. Combined with this Rank-2 Azure Blood Carp, a delicious fish soup should be just about ready.”

Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s words, the gourmand Nu Jiang could no longer resist.

“Junior Brother Chen, let’s go, let’s go…”

Patriarch Liu Jingxian of the Liu family would never have imagined that the fish soup he stewed could make a Nascent Soul Ancestor unable to stop eating.

“Very good, very good. The taste of Rank-2 is indeed better than Rank-1. The fish meat has been stewed for so long yet remains firm and tender. These dried bamboo shoots are also delicious, fragrant and sweet. After absorbing the fish soup, they are even more extraordinary…”

Since Chen Mobai did not eat, Nu Jiang directly reached into the pot of fish soup that was still on the fire, not afraid of the heat, and took out two pieces of fish meat with bones and swallowed them, chewing with his eyes narrowed in pleasure.

“To the two Ancestors, this is the newly harvested Flower Rice. Although it has not reached the Rank-2 level, it is still a top-quality product among Rank-1s.”

At that moment, Liu Jingxian brought over a pot of cooked Spirit Rice and respectfully addressed Chen Mobai and Nu Jiang.

“This Spirit Rice has its own aroma of rice grains. Pour some fish soup over it, add a couple of slices of fish meat, and the flavor is also quite delightful.”

When Chen Mobai was in Xiao Nanshan, he had already developed this way of eating.

After trying it out, Nu Jiang found it a revelation and single-handedly finished a large pot of Spirit Rice.

Chen Mobai then took a small jar of Spiritual Wine from his Storage Bag. It was brewed from Green Jade Spirit Rice and was a Rank-2 Spiritual Wine. Though it was not as good as the Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine, it was particularly strong.

“Junior Brother Chen, this meal has been the best I’ve had in the last twenty years. Isn’t it on par with the Supreme Feast at the Sky Meal Building?”

After the meal, Nu Jiang couldn’t help but let out a satisfied burp, enjoying the wine.

Chen Mobai smiled and exchanged contact talismans with Nu Jiang, then inquired about the Wood Vein and Metal Vein rejoining the Five Elements Sect.

Naturally, Nu Jiang wholeheartedly supported the idea, even if it was just for appearances. Once their sects were allied again, he would have the face to meet Ancestor Hunyuan when the time came for him to pass away in meditation.

“There will come a day for that, and I will work hard towards it.”

Chen Mobai’s statement made Nu Jiang even more pleased, but then his gaze turned sad as he felt that Chen Mobai must have said so because Zhou Shengqing had died.

If his Second Senior Brother had truly achieved “Nascent Soul Formation,” the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff would surely now be contemplating a counterattack against the Five Elements Sect to take over Hunyuan Immortal City.

“By the way, Brother Nu Jiang, since Cloud Dream Marsh still has markets from Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley, we cannot let them stand by idly regarding the threat of demonic beasts. How about we join hands to issue a notice? Let both their sects contribute some manpower; it would be best if Kong Lingling and Yan Shaoyin could also come over to hunt demonic beasts from time to time…”

Chen Mobai’s mind was already thinking of a plan to use the Cloud Dream Marsh Monster to weaken Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley.

“Getting both sects to send some Foundation Establishment Qi Practitioners is probably feasible, but getting those two Golden Core cultivators to take action might not be easy.”

Nu Jiang expressed some doubt.

“We can’t always be the ones shielding others from wind and rain.”

This remark from Chen Mobai struck a chord in Nu Jiang. Over the years, he had painstakingly guarded Cloud Dream Marsh, yet other major sects from the Eastern Wilderness took advantage by leveraging the influence of Wind Rain Hamlet to plunder various resources within Cloud Dream Marsh, leaving him with a profound sense of injustice.
