I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1566: Chapter 793 Luo Yixuan Achieves Core Formation_2

If only he could cultivate both, he surely wouldn’t be like this now.

“Your talent, even without the resources of the Tianhe Realm, is still the greatest in the history of the Immortal Gate.”

Qing Nu looked admiringly at Chen Mobai. The man before her, her Daoist companion, not only cultivated the Pure Yang Scroll but also had the energy to train in the Guidance Book and “The Union of Differences.” He handled all three Divine Transformation Techniques simultaneously, and each had achieved extraordinary mastery.

This was not something mere resources could accomplish; it required genuine transcendent insight.

“You flatter me. Many Seniors and Patriarchs in the Immortal Gate could do this as well; they just choose not to waste their time in such ways,” said Chen Mobai modestly.

The Immortal Gate revered perfection in one’s craft. As for other shortcomings, they would simply find someone else who had honed that specialty to perfection to complement them.

For instance, among the Immortal Gate’s Nascent Soul Superiors, Fifth-Order Artifact Refiners, and Fifth-Order Talisman Makers, there was often only one person for each specialization.

Alchemical needs, being more substantial, required three specialists in that particular field.

Each cultivator in the Immortal Gate functioned as a cog in a vast, flawless machine of cultivation society.

Other Nascent Soul Superiors of the Immortal Gate, if willing, could also practice three Divine Transformation Techniques simultaneously. But there was neither necessity nor resources to do so.

As they spoke, Chen Mobai and Qing Nu made their way toward Northern Abyss City.

“The Teleportation Array is truly convenient…”

The Immortal Gate’s sole shortfall compared to the Tianhe Realm was likely its Teleportation Array technology.

Chen Mobai even entertained the thought: once he reached Nascent Soul and had the opportunity to study the Heavenly Book Academy’s scriptures, could he perhaps make Teleportation Arrays a tangible result of his study of the Universe Scripture?

However, on second thought, such arrays required Void Stones for setup. With the Immortal Gate’s reserves, even mastering the technique would likely lead nowhere due to resource constraints.

Perhaps that was precisely why the Immortal Gate had never developed such technology.

After all, across countless ages, so many unparalleled geniuses had passed through the Immortal Gate. With treasures like the Portal at their disposal, it seemed unlikely they couldn’t figure out Teleportation Arrays.

“Come, let me show you around my Northern Abyss City.”

Chen Mobai was the first to step out of the grand hall housing the Teleportation Array. Qing Nu, full of anticipation, followed him eagerly.

“Greetings, Sect Leader!”

The moment they exited, Qing Nu saw seven Foundation Establishment practitioners waiting outside. Lined up on either side stood over a hundred Qi Practitioners, all clad in five-colored uniforms and bowing respectfully to the pair.

“Dispense with formalities, disciples.”

Chen Mobai waved his hand toward Yuan Chiye and the others at the forefront. These seven Foundation Establishment cultivators were in charge of the Five Element Meridians at Northern Abyss City—three of them belonging to the Wood Vein.

Since the unification of the Five Veins, Northern Abyss City had become the communication hub of the Five Veins at Chen Mobai’s initiative. Distribution of tasks, Spirit Stones, and Spirit Rice was all managed from here.

Consequently, the other four veins immediately sent their brightest and most capable elders to assist.

Learning the Sect Leader would be visiting, no one wanted to fall behind, so they followed Yuan Chiye here to greet him.

After a brief exchange with them, Chen Mobai signaled for them to disperse.

In the end, only the Wood Vein members remained.

Besides the familiar Yuan Chiye and Qi Rui, there were two others: Chen Mobai’s young disciple Jiang Zongheng and his disciple’s disciple, Duan Shuyu.

It had been many years since they met. Jiang Zongheng now sported a black beard, likely evidence of his many years as a Grand Preceptor, lending him an air of authority he once lacked.

“Master.”

Yet, before Chen Mobai, he still bowed with utmost respect.

In these years, Jiang Zongheng governed the Great Zhao Dynasty, established after unification, with remarkable order. Today, the overall population of the Eastern Desolation not only recovered to pre-war levels but continued to grow annually. It was projected to soon surpass ten million.

This would be a historic milestone for the Eastern Desolation, something it had never achieved since its founding.

All this was credited to the widespread development of fertile fields within the Eastern Desolation. Once plagued by war, the Nineteen Prefectures often lay fallow, with many Spirit Fields and Spirit Veins deserted.

Jiang Zongheng implemented policies rooted in agricultural reform, redistributing land and heavily promoting the farming civilization.

In the aftermath of chaos comes order. With policies granting everyone their own land, the mortals of the Eastern Desolation quickly stabilized, even embracing a vitality previously unseen in their lives.

Guided by Chen Mobai’s insights, Zhuo Ming developed a strain of rice capable of two harvests a year. Under Jiang Zongheng’s orders, this strain was distributed throughout all suitable regions of the Nineteen Prefectures.

As a result, the longstanding issue of food shortages, which had inhibited population growth, was entirely resolved.

According to Jiang Zongheng’s estimations, the Great Zhao Dynasty could maintain its rapid development for another century. By then, however, the Eastern Desolation’s population would reach its limit, and there would no longer be enough land to distribute.

This scenario would repeat the downfall of previous dynasties in the Eastern Desolation—land consolidation leading to chaos.

“What happens a century from now is a matter for that time. The Dao of Heaven lies in change. If waters stagnate and remain unchanging, it becomes unappealing,” Chen Mobai said with a slight smile.

He had spoken words that left Jiang Zongheng deep in thought. These echoed the wisdom of a great thinker from the Immortal Gate’s ancient past.

Better to redirect than to block.

So long as they remained, any temporary unrest breaking the status quo could eventually lead back to order and peace.

“Master, is there no way to escape this cycle entirely?”
