I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1235: Chapter 678 Tension between Drawn Swords and Bows_2 Chapter 1235: Chapter 678 Tension between Drawn Swords and Bows_2 Chen Mobai spoke, and with a wave of his hand in the void, the Heterodox Golden Core of Water Attribute had already fallen into his palm.

Luo Xue’er’s bright eyes immediately fixed on it, her pale cheeks flushed red, her excitement overflowing beyond words.

“With this item, when you attempt Nascent Soul Formation, it will either bring life or death. I give you one last chance, do you choose to refine it?”

Chen Mobai still held great respect for each cultivator under his command; Meng Hong used the Heterodox Golden Core because he had no other options left.

But it was possible for Luo Xue’er to try forming her core using her own foundation.

“Sect Master, I’m willing!”

But Luo Xue’er didn’t hesitate at all.

For the cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness, having the hope to form a Nascent Soul was already a tremendous honor.

Although the outcome of the Heterodox Golden Core was unpredictable, it offered a higher hope of forming the Nascent Soul than any elixir or external object.

After witnessing the failures of Meng Hong and Chu Zuoshu in forming their Nascent Souls, Luo Xue’er, who believed her talent was comparable to theirs, had already weighed her options.

Chen Mobai: “You can choose to refine it here in Northern Abyss City or return to Giant Tree Ridge. If you go back, you can find Gu Yan and have her take you to my Longevity Wood Dojo to use the Rank-4 Spiritual Energy there.”

Luo Xue’er: “I’ll stay in Northern Abyss City, as I still have many questions to seek guidance from the Sect Master on.”

The key to the Heterodox Golden Core lies in the refining, the amount of Spiritual Energy has a minimal impact.

Chen Mobai wasn’t familiar with the Heavenly Waterfall Cultivation Technique, but with the Formless Puppet at his disposal and sparing no Spirit Stones, he could easily deduce this technique up until the point of forming a Nascent Soul.

Although Luo Xue’er had reached Foundation Establishment Completion, her understanding of this technique was not yet profound.

After receiving guidance from Chen Mobai from start to finish, she suddenly saw the light and realized her previous understanding of the technique was somewhat biased.

“Before you formally attempt Nascent Soul Formation, you can go to Wind Rain Hamlet to substitute for Meng Hong for a while, and seek guidance from Senior Brother Nu Jiang.”

Nu Jiang had formed his Nascent Soul using the Heavenly Waterfall Cultivation Technique and had fought with demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze for two hundred years using this technique, achieving a profound mastery.

“Yes, Sect Master.”

Luo Xue’er was also very pleased with this, as Nu Jiang’s insights into forming a Nascent Soul were the most useful to her.

Since Chen Mobai said so, it meant that Nu Jiang would surely oblige.

At this time, Zhou Shengqing had already gone to the Land of Ruins, so the Cave Dwelling prepared at the mountain peak was given to Luo Xue’er by Chen Mobai.

Time passed quickly.

The elite of the Divine Wood Sect’s Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, led by two Foundation Establishment Completion cultivators, Xie Yuntian and Quan Shanlin, arrived at Northern Abyss City on a Flying Boat.

Thirty Foundation Establishment Practitioners and three thousand Qi Cultivating Disciples in Battle Array formation stationed themselves on the open ground outside Northern Abyss City, occasionally practicing the terrifying presence of Alpha Wood Soldiers, inciting fear among all the Loose Cultivators and clan disciples in the city.

It seemed that a major battle with the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace was inevitable.

Although the Divine Wood Sect was the overlord of the Eastern Wilderness, the reputation of a Nascent Soul Major Faction still commanded respect from many cultivators. Thus, several cultivators started to sell their properties in Northern Abyss City before the battle, hoping to leave this place which was destined to become a battlefield.

In response, Chen Mobai didn’t stop them, seeing it as a good opportunity to see who truly stood with the Divine Wood Sect.

It was no problem for the Loose Cultivators to flee, but it was important to see what the major families would do.

As it turned out, facing the potential confrontation with a Nascent Soul Major Faction, most families chose to pull back.

They all found excuses to move the core members of their families back to their own territories from Northern Abyss City, avoiding being conscripted by the Divine Wood Sect and becoming cannon fodder.

Under Chen Mobai’s orders, the Divine Wood Sect didn’t obstruct them.

Soon, the bustling and bustling Northern Abyss City lost more than half of its population.

On the real estate market, the daily transaction prices kept falling, quickly reaching a low point.

At this point, Liu Wenbo, who had just been summoned by Chen Mobai, immediately saw a business opportunity. After consulting with Chen Mobai, he had his disciple Song Huangdae start buying up properties at low prices.

With sufficient Spirit Stones, almost half of the properties in Northern Abyss City soon fell into the hands of Little Nan Mountain Shop.

This action naturally could not be hidden from those with keen interests.

Many Foundation Establishment Practitioners of the Divine Wood Sect, though not very confident about the battle with Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, were already bound to their sect, and this battle for them was a must-win.

Thus, they also took the opportunity to buy at low prices, some even purchasing several properties.

When half a month later, Luo Yixuan led the Divine Wood Sect army and flattened Nanxuan Sect, did the selling frenzy of properties in Northern Abyss City finally come to a halt.

At this time, the cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness were all puzzled.

Half a month had passed, and even if the reactions from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace were slow, they should have definitely received the news by now. So why was there no response at all?

Where was Fang Xuanyang?

Could it be that he had been slain by the fierce Sect Master Chen of the Divine Wood Sect?

And what about the Golden Wind Ancestor, that highly reputed Nascent Soul Cultivator?

Surely he hadn’t been held up by the demonic evils in the Land of Ruins, had he?

Just as the various major factions of the Eastern Wilderness, and even Chen Mobai himself, were wondering why there had been no movement from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, Zhou Shengqing sent a message.

He had cleared some demonic exotic beasts in the Land of Ruins and found a suitable battle ground.

There was a Rank-3 Spirit Vein there with a wood attribute, which would enhance the power of the Divine Wood Sect’s Alpha Wood Soldiers if deployed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately led the army of the Divine Wood Sect to the battlefield personally.

As for Northern Abyss City, he left it in the hands of E Yun, who had returned after annihilating the Nanxuan Sect.

Luo Yixuan, a warrior capable of Core Formation, was naturally taken along by him.

The actions of the Divine Wood Sect’s army were upright and justified, and in an instant, the entire Eastern Wilderness began to stir with excitement!

The battle was finally about to commence!

It was uncertain on what reliance the Divine Wood Sect dared to confront a Nascent Soul Major Faction.

Yan Shaoyin and Kong Lingling even prayed that the two sects would both suffer great losses, giving them time to develop toward “Nascent Soul Formation.”

However, a month passed and the disciples they had stationed at the front line had still not seen the large army from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.

What was going on?

Were their responses really that slow?

Two months passed and still, there was no large battle!

Could it be that Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace had backed down?

Three months later, Yan Shaoyin and Kong Lingling couldn’t help but feel contempt for the Golden Wind Ancestor.

A formidable Nascent Soul Cultivator being made a fool by a local sect in the Eastern Wilderness and acting like a coward, was utterly unworthy of being a Nascent Soul!

If it were them who had reached “Nascent Soul Formation,” even if the Divine Wood Sect had killed a Qi Cultivating Disciple of theirs, they would make that Sect Master Chen kneel and come to apologize!

While the entire Eastern Wilderness was bewildered by the retreating behavior of the Golden Wind Ancestor and Xuan Xiao Dao Palace, it was the same case on the side of the East Barbarians.

The Baiwu Ancestor of the Sun Bathing Sea had even summoned Chu Zuoshu specifically to ask him why the Divine Wood Sect dared to make a move on the Nanxuan Sect.

Chu Zuoshu naturally couldn’t come up with a solid reason; however, with his many years of experience as a sect leader, he handled it properly.

He directly pinned various charges of oppression of local Eastern Wilderness cultivators, selling Foundation Building Pills without providing protection, and allowing disciples to plunder, among others, on Nanxuan Sect.

Bai Wu Ancestor listened with a face full of puzzlement.

Weren’t these all normal behaviors? Which major faction in the Tianhe Realm didn’t act this way? Was the Divine Wood Sect really so intolerant over such trivial matters?

The newly appointed Little Chen seemed to have a rather firm character. It’s worthy of a Sword Cultivator!

This was Baiwu Ancestor’s first impression of Chen Mobai!

However, what he didn’t know was that his summoning of Chu Zuoshu had been learned by a spy from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace who was lurking in the Sun Bathing Sea, and it was swiftly passed back to Bright Mirror Mountain.

“That old thief really wants to harm me!”

Upon hearing this news, the Golden Wind Ancestor became enraged.

And those below, such as Xuan Guang and other Core Formation practitioners, also repeatedly accused Baiwu Ancestor of being tricky and malicious, their hearts filled with evil. Luckily, the Ancient One’s vision was sharp and had long seen through the plot, otherwise their forces might have been ambushed and wiped out by Kong Sang Valley and Sun Bathing Sea.

“Send a disciple with my letter of command to invite the heads of all the major commerce associations in East Barbarians like Star Heaven and others.”

After venting his anger, the Golden Wind Ancestor could only calm down to face reality.

If Kong Sang Valley and Sun Bathing Sea were to join forces, he had to seek external help if he wanted to resolve this war.
