I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1298: Chapter 714: Ruins of the Silver Sky Sect Chapter 1298: Chapter 714: Ruins of the Silver Sky Sect The Huashen Zhenjun of the Ice Palace perished amidst the great calamity, and from then on, the Eastern Earth Holy Land crumbled and fell apart.

But even a dying camel is larger than a horse, and there were still a few Elders who, after leaving the Fifth Grade Spirit Vein of the Holy Land, founded anew the Ice Palace. Even until today, they remain a Nascent Soul Force.

Among the Elders who founded the Ice Palace was an Ancestor from the Snow-blowing Palace, the current Nascent Soul Bing Yun Hermit, whose lineage if traced, is precisely that of this Ancestor.

Thus, the lineage of the Snow-blowing Palace has always flaunted this Ancestor’s prestige around the Eastern Wilderness.

Fu Zongjue might have been wary before, but ever since Zhou Shengqing’s “Nascent Soul Formation,” his visions too have expanded.

Even a powerful dragon does not suppress the local snakes—Fu Zongjue did not believe that Bing Yun Hermit would truly dare to step into the Eastern Wilderness.

Facing Zhu Jinyu’s questioning, Fu Zongjue couldn’t be bothered to deal with a minor character at the Foundation Establishment level. Jiang Zongheng promptly stood out and flew to the front of the Formation with all due propriety and protocol.

“Sect Master Zhu, we have no covetous intentions toward the Spirit Stone Mine, we merely wish to help unify the mortal world and usher in an era of peace and prosperity,” he said.

“This is fated, and it’s also the trend of the times. As long as you open the Large Formation and let us through, I can make a Daoist Heart Oath that I will not encroach upon any of Snow-blowing Palace’s mines or Spirit Fields.”

“But if you insist on defying fate,” he continued, “then don’t blame us for resorting to forceful measures and reducing your sect’s inheritance to ashes.”

Jiang Zongheng’s words, a mix of civility followed by threats, left Zhu Jinyu with an expression of shocked suspicion.

She did not believe that the Five Elements Sect had mobilized such a show of force just to help Rock Country unify the Eastern Wasteland and suspected it was a pretext to seize their Spirit Vein Mines.

But the prospect of a Daoist Heart Oath lent some credibility to the claim.

However, Jiang Zongheng was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, albeit a disciple of Xiao Nanshan, and still lacked adequate stature.

“Can either True Monarch Fu or Sect Master Chen make this Daoist Heart Oath instead?” Zhu Jinyu asked a bit greedily, drawing an angry huff from Fu Zongjue.

“Don’t push your luck. If you continue to obstruct us, not even Kong Lingling will be able to save you.”

After carefully weighing her own sect’s strength against that of the Five Elements Sect, Zhu Jinyu felt she had no choice but to grit her teeth. But this was too momentous a decision for her to make on her own.

“Master, what do you think?”

She took two steps back and respectfully inquired of the shadowy figure concealed within a cluster of ice mist.

Only with Kong Lingling anchoring their forces did she dare to bring out the elite cultivators of the Snow-blowing Palace, relying on the Large Formation laid out within the Spirit Stone Mine, ready to engage in a life-or-death battle with the cultivators of the Wood Vein of the Five Elements Sect.

“Agree to their terms.”

Kong Lingling’s cold voice rose from within the ice mist, and then the mist dispersed, but she had already vanished from her spot.

Empowered by her Master’s consent, Zhu Jinyu approached the Formation to negotiate terms with Jiang Zongheng, and both sides made their Daoist Heart Oaths.

The agreement stipulated that the Snow-blowing Palace wouldn’t hinder the unification of the Eastern Wasteland, and the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect wouldn’t encroach upon the Spirit Fields and the mines of the Snow-blowing Palace.

“Grand Tutor Jiang, once the mortal world is unified, our Sect must also be allowed to accept disciples as we see fit, and you must not obstruct this,” she added.

Jiang Zongheng nodded, agreeing not to strip away this right from Snow-blowing Palace but imposed a condition.

“It’s limited to Frost Country and Snow Country, and furthermore, if mortal individuals with a Spiritual Root wish to join our Five Elements Sect, you of Snow-blowing Palace must not obstruct them. To do so would be to breach the contract, nullifying the previously made Daoist Heart Oaths,” he declared.

Naturally, Zhu Jinyu disagreed with this statement.

But Jiang Zongheng would not budge on this point. If the Snow-blowing Palace was unwilling, then henceforth across the Eastern Wasteland, they wouldn’t be allowed to recruit any new disciples.

After all, the Daoist Heart Oath stated that the Five Elements Sect wouldn’t seize the Spirit Fields and mines of Snow-blowing Palace, but they could still effectively blockade them, preventing them from stepping beyond their sect’s gate.

Facing the resolute stance of Jiang Zongheng, Zhu Jinyu clenched her teeth, knowing her Master needed more time and could only pretend to agree for now.

[Just a few more years, once the Holy Son has grown…]

With that thought, Zhu Jinyu accepted Jiang Zongheng’s condition.

“Sect Master Zhu, from now on, the land of the Eastern Wasteland shall follow the principles of Dao Morale Sect. In the mortal realm, there will be dynasties, and we cultivators shall cultivate in solitude amidst Spirit Veins, hidden from the world,” Jiang Zongheng said, invoking the doctrine of Dao Morale Sect, and Zhu Jinyu actually believed that the Five Elements Sect wished to emulate the governance of this Holy Land to accumulate virtue.

It is said that Dao Morale Sect has had successive Deities because the Sage Ancestor set down the rule that as long as mortal dynasties are at peace, with clear rivers and calm seas, they will continuously be blessed by the five virtues, untouched by calamities, making cultivation breakthroughs almost inevitable.

However, aside from Dao Morale Sect, other forces that have tried this found that despite having exerted a great deal of effort to support a dynasty, none have seen as much success as Dao Morale Sect, feeling the investment unrewarding.

Thus, over time, other than Dao Morale Sect, few in the Tianhe Realm have attempted this path.

“Sect Master Chen has grand ambitions, hoping that our Eastern Wasteland may also bring forth its own Daoist Sage,” Zhu Jinyu said, forcing a smile. The Ancestor of Dao Morale Sect was the first Human Race cultivator to achieve Ascension, revered as a Sage.

In the entire Eastern Region, Dao Morale Sect has produced the most Ascended Monks and boasts the most ancient pedigree, a supreme Holy Land that has never once broken its lineage from ancient times until now.
