“Greetings, Sect Master Chen. This is from my master for you,”

Upon entering, Ji Guanhai first paid his respects to Chen Mobai, then delivered a letter.

“It’s been four years since I last met Brother Nu Jiang…,”

Chen Mobai felt a trace of sentiment as he opened the letter and his relaxed expression turned slightly serious after reading it.

“Has the situation really become this grave?”

Not long ago, a Dongwu army of cultivators, tasked with exterminating the Cloud Dream Marsh monsters, suffered a devastating blow. One of their treasure ships, anchored by a Golden Core Cultivator, was destroyed by the rampaging monster horde.

From Core Formation to Qi Cultivation, all were slain by the monsters, not a single person escaped.

When the head of the Dongwu Sun Family, Sun Huangji, arrived with a fleet of treasure ships, all he found was a blood-stained expanse of water strewn with floating limbs and wreckage of ships.

And an overwhelming, countless horde of demonic beasts!

Fortunately, Sun Huangji was a proficient cultivator, already at perfect Core Formation, and with the entire Sun Family fleet formed into a battle array, he engaged the monster hordes in direct combat in a fit of rage.

In the end, nearly a thousand monster corpses were left behind, and one of the prized Rank-3 treasure ships was breached and sank.

But the victory was astonishing. Taking advantage of the power of the battle array, Sun Huangji broke into the midst of the monster horde and slaughtered two Rank-3 monsters.

It was precisely because of this that the monster army dispersed; otherwise, the Sun family might have lost more than just one Rank-3 treasure ship, possibly the whole army.

After this massive battle, the war between Dongwu and the monsters could no longer be contained.

The Sun family issued a Yellow Martial Decree, beginning to conscript treasure ship cultivators from all the major Dongwu families into a grand hunting alliance army. Sun Huangji took the role as the alliance leader, determined to avenge the dead cultivators of his family.

Since they wished to eradicate the monsters in Cloud Dream Marsh, the Sun family naturally sought help from the Eastern Wasteland as well.

The Sun family’s second-in-command, Sun Huanglong, came in person to discuss with True Person Nu Jiang, hoping the Eastern Wasteland too would cooperate, and both forces would mount a pincer attack from both the east and west banks along the center of Cloud Dream Marsh.

The intent was to eradicate every monster visible to the cultivators from within the Cloud Dream Marsh.

But the situation was too critical for Nu Jiang to decide alone.

He informed Zhou Ye of the Hunyuan Immortal City, but the latter indicated that the Five Elements Sect only had enough power for self-preservation at the moment and lacked the authority and prestige to unite all the cultivators of the Eastern Wasteland. He felt that observing the situation would be best.

Although he was diplomatic in his words, Zhou Ye’s meaning was clear—he didn’t care about the Sun family’s life or death.

If he could command the entire Five Elements Sect, Zhou Ye would even wish to aid the demonic beasts in annihilating the Sun family while they were battling.

With Zhou Ye’s disapproval, Nu Jiang had to seek assistance elsewhere.

Sheng Zhaoxi of the Fire Vein was quite decent and gave face. Although her cultivation technique would be greatly reduced in the environment of Cloud Dream Marsh, she stated that if necessary, she could personally come to Wind Rain Hamlet, helping Nu Jiang to preside and seal.

With that, Nu Jiang could lead the cultivators of the Water Vein away from Wind Rain Hamlet to fight against the monsters.

But relying solely on the Water Vein was not enough!

Just as the news of the Divine Wood Sect successfully refining Foundation Building Pills came, Nu Jiang wrote a letter, asking his disciple to bring it to Chen Mobai.

“To report to Sect Master Chen, my master feels that if it weren’t for the Sun family holding back the pressure of the monster army on the West Bank of Cloud Dream Marsh, our Eastern Wasteland might have already been in dire straits…”

Ji Guanhai conveyed Nu Jiang’s thoughts, which essentially boiled down to a shared misfortune.

Now, neither Dongwu nor the Eastern Wasteland had any Nascent Soul Cultivators. Should the monster army land, it would be impossible for mere mortals to withstand them; they’d be reduced to blood food.

But that was not the most significant concern. After all, the cultivators of the Tianhe Realm held little regard for mortals, and most wouldn’t raise an eyebrow even if all were to perish.

Against an army of cultivators, they need only defend the Mountain Protection Array.

However, at the center of Cloud Dream Marsh, a Rank-4 Poisonous Dragon was sealed.

If the cultivators of the Eastern Wasteland were to all flee Cloud Dream Marsh, the cage, built upon thousands of water ponds and the spiritual veins of the Eastern Wasteland and Dongwu, would soon be broken by the monsters with the simplest and most brute method.

This Rank-4 Poisonous Dragon was an extremely formidable being that required the intervention of three Nascent Soul Cultivators to be sealed.

Should it break out of its seal, it’s not only Dongwu and the Eastern Wasteland that would be concerned; even the neighboring East Barbarians would frown upon the situation.

“On this matter, my view aligns with Brother Nu Jiang,”

Chen Mobai nodded, uttering a phrase that brought joy to Ji Guanhai.

After all, the Divine Wood Sect was now the hegemon of the Eastern Wasteland, and with its current burgeoning trend, it wouldn’t be long before the number of Foundation Establishment Practitioners increased and another Golden Core Cultivator might emerge.

With their assistance, this war against the monsters could at least see the Eastern Wasteland forming an allied force.

Chen Mobai agreed because he already viewed this territory as his own. If various large-scale projects were implemented as planned, he would essentially possess a small Immortal Sect that completely obeyed his command, with resources at his disposal.

“`

Having arrived in the Eastern Wasteland thirty-two years ago, he had already taken root here, investing most of his emotions and time, and was on the verge of reaping a bountiful harvest. He could not let a single malevolent creature ruin it all.

Chen Mobai sent a reply to Nu Jiang, sharing his thoughts and stating that he would soon mobilize cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect and the Golden Cliff to aid him at Wind Rain Hamlet.

It was fortunate that Jia Songyang was also here. When he returned, he could mention this matter to Mo Douguang as well.

When Ji Guanhai, holding Chen Mobai’s reply, was about to leave via the teleportation array, he looked back in the direction of the Shenmu Hall and, upon bidding farewell to Yue Zutao outside the formation, he said with respect,

“Sect Master Chen of your esteemed sect has a heart that embraces the entire world, truly a blessing for the Eastern Wasteland!”

Upon hearing this, Yue Zutao was slightly taken aback, then remembered what Chen Mobai had told him about the new policies and the various conversations about transforming the Eastern Wasteland and its vast future, prompting him to nod emphatically.

“The Sect Master’s aspirations are as deep as valleys, aiming for the far reaches, and it’s not only the world of this Eastern Wastaland that he concerns himself with.”

This remark from Yue Zutao caused Ji Guanhai to pause briefly.

At that moment, the teleportation array began to brighten up, and he could only wave goodbye.

Xiao Nanshan!

Luo Yixuan sat quietly under the Immortal Peach Tree. A petal of pinkish-white peach blossom, carried by the Fresh Wind and resembling a raindrop, landed on her jet-black hair. The smooth strands of hair gently slid the petal down her snow-white and delicate cheek, and, as beautiful as the petal was, it only served to highlight her radiance even more.

Her face and the peach blossoms set off each other’s beauty!

Chen Mobai, who was seated nearby as her protector, saw that petal finally come to rest on the snowy white fabric draped over Luo Yixuan’s shoulder. With every breath, he was greeted by the fragrance of peach blossoms combined with the soft hues of pale red and white, an undeniably pleasing sight.

He took a sip from the cup of tea that Zhuo Ming had prepared and handed to him.

“Master, two fruits of the peach tree have ripened. I shall pick them for you to taste.”

After brewing the tea, Zhuo Ming pointed to the luxuriant Immortal Peach Tree overhead, its branches filled with a mix of pinkish-white petals and fruits.

“The initial consumption of this fruit can enhance one’s supply by 20 drops of Liquid Spiritual Power, which for me is merely a replenishment of Elemental Energy, satisfying one’s appetite. You should eat it instead,” Chen Mobai said, looking up at the perfectly rounded, abundant fruits on the tree branches with a smile on his face.

This Rank-3 Immortal Peach Tree had grown for a thousand years atop the Hei Yun mountain’s spiritual vein, having already reached the zenith of Third Rank Superior Grade.

When the Yuan family took care of it, the tree would bear fruits every twenty years, yielding roughly five to six peaches each time.

After Chen Mobai executed Yuan Hongyuan, the Spirit Plant Department of Divine Wood Sect immediately took control of Black Cloud Mountain, primarily for the sake of this thousand-year-old Immortal Peach Tree.

However, due to its subsequent transplantation to Xiao Nanshan, the tree’s fruiting was delayed by several years before it began to adapt to the local ley lines and resumed blossoming and bearing fruits.

Under Zhuo Ming’s All Things Spiritual Communication, and with the essence of Tai Sui present in the soil right below the tree, the small portion of Xiao Nanshan where the tree resided became especially rich in nutrients, resulting in an unusually abundant yield of peaches.

After counting them, Chen Mobai found there to be twenty-seven in total.

In fact, two years prior, the tree had already begun to bear fruit, with about forty to fifty peaches. However, due to insufficient Spiritual Energy, many could not grow to maturity.

Zhuo Ming estimated that a Rank-4 Spirit Vein would be needed for the Immortal Peach Tree to fully thrive and for all its fruits to ripen.

Upon learning this, Chen Mobai had the Spirit Vein Division and Formation Division of his sect start considering ways to upgrade Xiao Nanshan’s spiritual vein to Rank-4.

But this was not an overnight process; it also necessitated that part of the Spiritual Vein Core beneath the three Everlife Woods be diverted here.

This not only required Chen Mobai’s consent but also involved consulting Fu Zongjue.

After knowing the details, Chen Mobai did not push for the upgrade.

He knew that if he spoke up, Fu Zongjue would not refuse.

But there was no need.

After all, the value of the Immortal Peach Tree surely did not compare to the importance of the Spiritual Energy necessary for the cultivation of two Golden Core Cultivators.

Moreover, one way to upgrade to a Rank-4 spiritual vein was via a Supreme-grade Spirit Stone, such as the Mother Earth Stone they had fought over at Shake Mountain Peak.

Unfortunately, such a valuable item would only form in the core of a major spirit stone mine, and that particular Mother Earth Stone had already been refined by Zhou Shengqing to foster his Longevity True Qi.

Of course, that’s the method in the Tianhe Realm. The Immortal Gates surely have different techniques, which are undoubtedly more intricate and troublesome to execute than either of the aforementioned.

Chen Mobai planned to systematically learn more when he studied the knowledge pertaining to Earth Master formations.

“Ming’er, since your cultivation has reached a bottleneck at the early foundation stage, consuming the fruit of the Immortal Peach Tree should enable your breakthrough. After Xuan finishes her meditation, you can consume it here, and I will protect you as you do so,” he instructed.

“Thank you, Master!” Zhuo Ming replied with a joyful smile on her face, promptly topping up Chen Mobai’s cup of tea, which he had drained.

Leisurely sipping tea with his disciple attending to him, Chen Mobai wished that he could enjoy this relaxed lifestyle forever.
