I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1297: Chapter 713: Capturing Frost Country (25,600 Monthly Votes Bonus Chapter) Chapter 1297: Chapter 713: Capturing Frost Country (25,600 Monthly Votes Bonus Chapter) Chen Mobai felt the piercing cold of the sword intent and couldn’t help but feel slightly astonished.

With his experience in magical duels, he determined in an instant that there were only a handful of ways he could counter this sword intent.

But a few did not mean none. Chen Mobai’s eyes lit up, and he raised his right hand, a brilliant five-colored stream of energy swirling in his palm, ready to unleash his Primordial True Qi.

However, at that moment, Shen Shanqing, who had been sitting with eyes closed, suddenly stood up.

As the piercing cold sword intent had just entered the room and reached behind him, it halted in an instant and then dissipated into nothingness.

Seeing this, Chen Mobai also lowered his right hand, and the brilliant five-colored Primordial True Qi vanished from his palm.

“Thank you, Sect Master Chen, for the wine. May I know its name and whether it’s possible to purchase it for our Sky Meal Building?” Shen Shanqing asked with a face full of respect, bowing to Chen Mobai. His divine sense had broken through the long-standing shackles with the help of these three cups of wine, reaching the late phase of Foundation Establishment.

It is worth noting, he had been stuck at this bottleneck for nearly thirty years.

“Lucky for us that Chef Shen woke up, otherwise, it would have been difficult to explain to the True Person next door,” Chen Mobai said with a smile.

Shen Shanqing and the others didn’t dare respond to that remark, causing a somewhat awkward silence.

“Forgive the misunderstanding.”

After a while, Ye Qing’s voice sounded, and then the door to the bamboo room opened, and he came out, bowing to Chen Mobai with his hands cupped.

“It was just a misunderstanding. May I know how this Daoist Brother is called?”

Although Chen Mobai had not probed Ye Qing’s cultivation level, the piercing cold sword intent had already shown that the latter’s cultivation was above his own, so he was very polite in his demeanor.

“Jiutian Dangmo Sect, Ye Qing!” Ye Qing revealed his name without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai showed a look of shock.

The reputation of the Saint Land Taoist Child was something even he had heard thunderously, despite being from the remote Eastern Wasteland.

After all, the Eastern Wasteland was not lacking in resources, and there were quite a few powers like the Sky Meal Building that had set up branch commerce associations here. While conducting business here, they also brought information about the major forces of the six realms of the Eastern Region.

Since taking over control of the Divine Wood Sect and devising a plan to unify the Eastern Wasteland, Chen Mobai had also set his sights on the entire Eastern Region.

Among them, the most crucial information about the Four Great Holy Lands, Huashen Zhenjun, Nascent Soul Superiors, Taoist Saintesses, and the like had been collected by those he sent out.

Chen Mobai was deeply impressed with the name of Ye Qing.

After all, among the Four Great Holy Lands, the Profound Heaven True Monarch of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect was known as the number one person in the Eastern Region. As his personally raised disciple, Ye Qing boasted the Qualification of Deification.

This had left a strong memory in Chen Mobai, who also possessed the Qualification of Deification.

To think that such a person would come to the Eastern Wasteland.

“I’ve long admired your great name!”

Chen Mobai stood up and returned the salute to Ye Qing, who nodded his head and then turned back into his bamboo room.

“Sect Master Chen, I’ll go greet True Person Ye. Put today’s meal on my tab, and please take good care of everything here,” Shen Shanqing said, although he was eager to inquire about Chen Mobai’s Rank-3 Spiritual Wine. Clearly, the matter concerning Ye Qing was of greater importance, so he had no choice but to apologize and call Lan Youxiang in to take over the hosting duties.

“Chef Shen, please do as you wish, I’ll be on my way after I finish eating.” Chen Mobai’s main purpose for this visit was to find out who the new Golden Core Cultivator entering the city was. Now that he knew it was the Saint Heir from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, his objective was achieved.

Although he was very curious, he didn’t inquire further about Ye Qing’s reasons for visiting.

However, thinking carefully about the reputation of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, he could guess a thing or two.

Were there Devil Cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland?

Realizing this, Chen Mobai thought of Hong He, who had left the sect a long time ago, wondering how he was doing now.

He was a good fellow sect member; had he not practiced demonic techniques, he might already be a sect cultivator at the completion of Foundation Establishment, ready to exchange for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill for Nascent Soul Formation.

Besides Hong He, there was also Tu Daohua, whom Elder Ming had mentioned before—a confirmed Golden Core Stage cultivator and a ghost-route Devil Cultivator. Perhaps Ye Qing was here to slay him?

When Chen Mobai left the Sky Meal Building, his thoughts were racing, and he then thought of his disciple, Luo Yixuan.

Although she had not practiced demonic techniques, her Core Formation with Yellow Springs Spiritual Power classified her as part of a Side Sect or Evil Path. To avoid drawing Ye Qing’s attention, Chen Mobai immediately issued a command for her to hand over the task of opening up Dark Water to Yin Qingmei.

The reason was the resurgence of the Demonic Beasts in Cloud Dream Swamp, with numerous Rank-3 Demonic Beasts making their presence known. To prevent Wind Rain Hamlet from falling, Luo Yixuan was instructed to go over and provide support immediately.

Luo Yixuan always treated Chen Mobai’s words as if they were divine commands, directing her to the east without ever questioning whether she should go west instead.

So upon receiving the order, without a second word, he immediately transferred the task of pioneering Dark Water and prepared to set out that very night after packing his things.

According to the original route, it would have been fastest for Luo Yixuan to travel from Rainbow Country, pass through Eastern Desolation Plateau, and use the teleportation arrays in the various fang markets via Northern Abyss City.

But Chen Mobai also instructed her to return to Giant Tree Ridge first and then lead ten Foundation Establishment Practitioners and eight hundred Qi Practitioners to provide support.

To ensure Luo Yixuan understood the seriousness of the matter, Chen Mobai had Qi Rui, who relayed the message, tell her about the presence of Ye Qing from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect in Northern Abyss City. He advised her to request Zhou Shengqing’s presence in Northern Abyss City once she reached Wind Rain Hamlet.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan, who originally wanted to take a detour to Northern Abyss City to see her beloved master, had to painfully give up on the idea.

Her Dan Forming with Yellow Springs Spiritual Power, although not enough to make her a target for condemnation by everyone in the Demon Path, still made her somewhat unwelcome in the eyes of the Righteous Path.

The last time Gu Zhiqin, a Golden Core Cultivator from the Star Heaven Dao Sect, came visiting, Chen Mobai had also asked her, who was then in Rainbow Country, to avoid him.

Because of Ye Qing’s unexpected arrival in Northern Abyss City, Chen Mobai had no choice but to stay put and take charge again.

At the same time, the older cultivator who came with Brother and Sister Ye Qing was investigated by E Yun and had his background uncovered.

He was a deacon in charge of commercial affairs in the Eastern Wasteland for Sun Bathing Sea, named Yu Hai, with cultivation at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

The East Barbarians bordered the East Land, possessing a large-scale transmission array that directly connects the two domains. For this reason, Sun Bathing Sea’s Wu Immortal City, rich with Eastern Land unique elixirs, magic artifacts, spirit materials, medicinal herbs, and even lineages of cultivation techniques, is deservedly the number one immortal city in the East Barbarians.

Although it was unclear why they came from East Land to the Eastern Wilderness, Ye Qing definitely wasn’t familiar with the area, which is why he brought Yu Hai along.

“Sect Master, do we need to invite Yu Hai for a meeting?” asked E Yun.

Chen Mobai shook his head.

Wouldn’t that clearly be an attempt to find out the purpose of Ye Qing’s visit? If he meets with Yu Hai, surely he wouldn’t keep it a secret from Ye Qing. Best not do anything that might cause misunderstandings.

“Sect Master, if we could establish relations with the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, it would definitely be more convenient to expand the market in East Land after unifying the Eastern Wasteland in the future,” suggested E Yun, who had never before encountered an heir of such a legendary holy land, the famous Taoist Child, and was somewhat getting carried away.

“Some things are a blessing, not a disaster,” Chen Mobai commented.

If possible, Chen Mobai wished that forces from East Barbarians and East Land would stay away from the Eastern Wasteland, allowing him to focus on unifying it and developing in secret for a while. It would be best if they could wait until after his “Nascent Soul Formation” before they have dealings with the outside world.

The arrival of Jiutian Dangmo Sect was surely connected to Devil Cultivators, and it must be no ordinary character to warrant the personal attention of Taoist Child Ye Qing.

That is why Chen Mobai wanted Zhou Shengqing to come.

Before Ye Qing had the intention to explain, Chen Mobai decided to maintain a cautious stillness, handling another matter first.

“Xie Yuntian and Quan Shanlin should have completed their tasks, have them go to the battlefields of Frost Country.”

“And Zheng Deming, after Xuan gets there, with the Five Elements Sect’s strength already sufficient in Cloud Dream Marsh, have him go support Zong Heng as well.”

“To prevent Kong Lingling from acting dishonorably, please also ask Fu Shixiong to leave his retreat and help oversee the army.”

The stirring letter Chen Mobai had sent to Snow-blowing Palace had not elicited any response, which left him feeling quite slighted.

What irritated him even more was that the messenger Yu Lian had also disappeared.

This prompted an immediate reaction from Chen Mobai, who had originally planned to take things slowly.

Yu Lian, talented and already at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, could only have been silently taken by either Snow-blowing Palace or Back to Sky Valley in the whole of the Eastern Wasteland.

Right now, the main suspect was Snow-blowing Palace.

Under these circumstances, if it weren’t for Ye Qing in Northern Abyss City, Chen Mobai would have considered going to confront Kong Lingling himself.

But unable to leave, he could easily muster a formidable army capable of annihilating Snow-blowing Palace, through his authority as the Sect Master.

On the day he received the news of Yu Lian’s disappearance, he had already sent Meng Hong to the front lines.

It was just unfortunate that Mo Douguang was in seclusion, aiming for the realm of Perfection in Core Formation; otherwise, the strength of his sword alone would have been enough to destroy all of Snow-blowing Palace’s resistance on the battlefield.

Following Chen Mobai’s orders, the Five Elements Sect’s Wood Vein swiftly mobilized.

Within the short span of half a month, Fu Zongjue, Meng Hong, Xie Yuntian, Quan Shanlin, and Zheng Deming had all flocked to Jiang Zongheng’s command.

By this time, the army had gathered two Golden Core Cultivators, four at the Completion of Foundation Establishment, twenty-seven ordinary Foundation Establishment Practitioners, and several hundred Qi Practitioners.

The Rank-3 Great Formation set up by Snow-blowing Palace, taking advantage of the terrain, endured with difficulty for one and a half months before finally collapsing under the onslaught of Jiang Zongheng’s cultivator army.

With the formation broken, Frost Country fell to the advancing forces of Rock Country, led by Duan Shuyu. In just two months, they conquered twelve cities and made a beeline for the royal capital.

After Frost Country, Jiang Zongheng led his troops southward again.

The cultivators of Snow-blowing Palace, under the leadership of Sect Master Zhu Jinyu, took twenty-four Foundation Establishment Practitioners and eight hundred Qi Practitioners to occupy the medium-sized Spirit Stone Mine at the border, setting up the Ice Snow Formation, determined to fight a decisive battle with the Five Elements Sect.

“True Person Fu, our Snow-blowing Palace is inherited from Dongtu Ice Heaven Palace. Aren’t you afraid that Elder Bingyun will be furious when he learns of this?” Zhu Jinyu stood fierce and erect, her willowy eyebrows raised as she loudly reprimanded Fu Zongjue before the Great Formation.
