I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1263: Chapter 694: Obtaining the Primordial Dao Fruit_2 Chapter 1263: Chapter 694: Obtaining the Primordial Dao Fruit_2 The region of Dong Yue where the Star Heaven Dao Sect was located was filled with mountains and hills, making cultivation difficult. Thus, many of the elders’ Rank-3 and Rank-4 Spirit Rice mainly came from the regions of the East Barbarians, Dongwu, and Eastern Wilderness.

Especially the Ten Thousand Acres of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice of Flower Country, the Star Heaven Dao Sect had cultivated it for a thousand years to harvest it continuously.

If it were really damaged due to the war, it was indeed possible that it would bring forth the intervention of the Primordial Infant Great Cultivators of the Star Heaven Dao Sect.

“Please rest assured on this point, as long as our sect remains the overlord of the Eastern Wilderness, even if Back to Sky Valley cannot protect your Ten Thousand Acres of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice, we will still send people to guard it.”

Chen Mobai probed and, after knowing the determination of Star Heaven Dao Sect regarding the Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice, he made a meaningful remark.

“That’s good, please remember these words, Sect Master Chen.”

Lou Xuelong seemed not to catch the underlying meaning in his words and took his leave after saying that.

Chen Mobai watched his departing figure and looked towards the Donghuang map placed in the grand hall, his gaze landing on Flower Country, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

…

Hunyuan Immortal City!

Chen Mobai’s puppet body was comprehending the Primordial Dao Fruit that Zhou Ye had just taught him. Indeed, left behind by True Lord Yuan, it was truly profound and mysterious, marvelous beyond measure.

After returning, he would need to use the Enlightenment Tea to properly comprehend it.

Thinking this, he opened his eyes.

He was still in Zhou Ye’s courtyard, and the latter was also here, appearing leisurely as he fed the fish while Chen Mobai comprehended the Primordial Dao Fruit.

After issuing a self-blaming decree and taking the entire blame for the separation of the Five Elements Meridians onto himself, Zhou Ye felt as if the sky and sea were open to him.

From now on, he would no longer need to pay attention to trivial matters of the Five Elements Sect, nor worry about the other four meridians joining forces to attack, and could solely focus on his cultivation.

In his decree, in order to punish himself, he announced he would seal himself within the Immortal City, not absolving his sin karma until it was done, vowing not to leave the city.

However, this was just a courteous statement, Zhou Ye knew clearly that only within the Hunyuan Immortal City could he wield the greatest deterrence.

After his surrender, Chen Mobai had given him dignity; he still remained the Supreme Elder of the Earth Vein of the Five Elements Sect, respected by Zhou Shengqing and others who had seen the error of their ways.

But after the unification of the Five Meridians, the actual administration of this Immortal City would undoubtedly be handled by people from his Divine Wood Sect.

For Zhou Ye, he needed to cultivate using the Fourth Grade Spirit Vein here, maintaining merely the deterrence of the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder.

If he were to achieve “Nascent Soul Formation” in the future, that would mean his sins were cleansed, and he could leave the city.

Upon realizing this, Zhou Ye even felt some regret for not surrendering earlier.

“Junior Brother Chen, how goes your comprehension?”

Seeing Chen Mobai rise, Zhou Ye put down the fish bait he was holding and asked warmly.

“Gained some insights.”

Although they now addressed each other as brothers, Chen Mobai would certainly not reveal his true thoughts to Zhou Ye, instead giving a courteous reply.

“Junior Brother Chen truly is a peerless genius. When Master first taught me the Primordial Dao Fruit, it was as if hearing the heavenly scriptures; only after Master explained it for a hundred days did I gain some understanding, and even to this day, I have merely scratched the surface.”

Zhou Ye took it seriously, actually believing that Chen Mobai had gained some understanding of the Primordial Dao Fruit in just a few days, and his face showed astonishment.

“Are you certain there is no problem with the key to opening the Yiyuan Mijing, Brother Zhou?”

Chen Mobai immediately changed the subject, bringing up the matter of Zhou Ye’s utmost concern.

“Yes, before Master passed away in meditation, he taught me the method to open it, but it requires gathering five tokens, subsequently activating it with Primordial True Qi.”

While talking, Zhou Ye took out a dirt-yellow Jade Pendant.

Originally, when Ancestor Hunyuan granted a jade pendant to each of the five disciples at their Core Formation, they represented the Five Elements, serving as the keys to open the Yiyuan Mijing.

Zhou Shengqing was unaware of this matter, assuming it was only a symbol of identity for disciples of Hunyuan.

After the passing of Ancestor Hunyuan, Zhou Ye, not having secured his position, naturally did not reveal this secret to others.

And later when the sects were divided, he certainly wouldn’t mention it.

“At first, I indeed harbored some grand ambitions, wishing to win over each brother and sister, inherit the Master’s wishes and the Secret Realm, leading the Five Elements Sect to greater heights.”

Zhou Ye placed his earth-yellow jade pendant on the table with a sense of sighing.

Chen Mobai, on the other hand, took out three jade pendants—a cyan, a fiery red, and a shining gold one—and placed them alongside Zhou Ye’s.

These belonged to Zhou Shengqing, Sheng Zhaoxi, and Mo Douguang. After hearing about this matter, they were all eager to open the Yiyuan Secret Realm, but they didn’t dare to come to Hunyuan Immortal City, so they all just sent their disciples to deliver their jade pendants.

Among them, the one from Nu Jiang was missing.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling!

Rather, Nu Jiang had just accepted Chen Mobai’s request to go to Dongwu.

With four jade pendants together, there was no reaction, causing Chen Mobai and Zhou Ye both to feel somewhat disappointed.

It seemed they still needed all five to gather.

“I wonder what rare treasures are hidden within this secret realm?”

This Yiyuan Secret Realm, during the time of the Five Elements Sect, only Ancestor Hunyuan could enter, so although Zhou Shengqing and the others knew there must be great opportunities inside, they never had the chance to learn the details.

Before Ancestor Hunyuan passed away in meditation, he left the inheritance to Zhou Ye, who for the sake of the secret realm, straightforwardly taught the Primordial Dao Fruit to Chen Mobai, presumably knowing something about what was inside.

“This secret realm is a small world with balanced Five Element Spiritual Energy, at the center of which is an extremely precious Five Elements Spirit Tree. The Five Elements Spiritual Fruit that we five disciples used for our Core Formation was plucked from it by our honorific master.”

Both parties had already sworn oaths on their Dao Heart, so Zhou Ye did not conceal and shared what he knew.

Chen Mobai was taken aback upon hearing this!

“A Five Elements Spirit Tree?”

In the Tianhe Realm, although there were spiritual objects to assist in Core Formation, in ancient times, cultivators of the Five Elements Cultivation Technique all used the corresponding Five Elements Spiritual Fruit to overcome the great realm of Core Formation.

However, Five Elements Spirit Trees require an extremely harsh environment to grow—they need a Spirit Vein with all five elements present and nearly equal amounts of Spiritual Energy.

This is precisely why the Spirit Vein caves suitable for the growth of Five Elements Spirit Trees are incredibly rare.

Now, only those super sects in the East Land possessed such rare natural treasures, and Mobai had never imagined that there could be one in the Yiyuan Secret Realm.

“I heard from the master that those few Five Elements Spirit Trees in the East Land were mostly created by ancient cultivators using great divine power to forcibly create a small world where all Five Elements Spiritual Energy was present to nurture them.”

“This one in the Yiyuan Secret Realm was originally planted by a great being from the Longevity Sect who opened up a small world, and later discovered by True Lord Yuan, who also reached the Perfection of the Primordial Dao Fruit using it.”

“Later it was the master who obtained the True Lord Yuan’s inheritance jade pendant, came here to open this secret realm, and based on this, established Hunyuan Immortal City and founded the Five Elements Sect.”

“The Five Elements Spiritual Fruit condensed by the Five Elements Spirit Tree are the most pure and unmatched essences of the Five Elements Spiritual Energy, which, in addition to helping cultivators of Five Elements Spiritual Power during Core Formation, is also the best treasure for my cultivation of the Primordial Dao Fruit.”

Without Zhou Ye mentioning these things, Chen Mobai would not have known any of it.

“The Five Elements Spirit Tree bears fruit once every sixty years, and each time, it produces five fruits: one for each of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.”

“And since the ancestor passed away in meditation, it has been a hundred and two years.”

“That means, as long as we open the secret realm, there’s a very good chance to find a complete set of mature Five Elements Spiritual Fruits, and possibly even more than one set.”

Chen Mobai followed Zhou Ye’s thoughts down, quickly understanding why he wanted to include this condition into the Dao Heart oath.

If Chen Mobai opened the Yiyuan Secret Realm and used the Five Elements Spiritual Fruits to cultivate the Primordial True Qi, he might truly be able to refine the Primordial Dao Fruit in a short amount of time.

“There will only be one set of Five Elements Spiritual Fruits because the previous ones have all been used for the cultivation of the Primordial Dao Fruit by our honorary master, and for our Core Formation.”

Zhou Ye regretfully said something that made Chen Mobai slightly relieved.

According to the agreement, he could take half of the items in the secret realm, meaning Zhou Ye could take at most two and a half of the Five Elements Spiritual Fruits.

This could at least delay Zhou Ye’s progress in cultivation.

After two encounters with Zhou Ye, Chen Mobai found him to be a very time-aware person.

If in the future he succeeded in “Nascent Soul Formation” and felt confident to suppress Zhou Ye, he could consider accepting him.

After all, among all the Core Formation cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness, he was the most likely to achieve “Nascent Soul Formation.”

But not now, he needed to be suppressed!
