I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1567: Chapter 793 Luo Yixuan’s Core Formation_3

Jiang Zongheng posed the question.

Among all of Chen Mobai’s disciples, his thoughts and considerations were the most profound. He was a rare cultivator who contemplated the fate of ordinary people.

“That would require a different societal system and structure. But even with such changes, whether the cycle can be broken remains uncertain.”

Chen Mobai spoke, explaining that the framework of the Immortal Gate, upheld by strict rules, had sustained for over six thousand years—a period of unprecedented stability and prosperity.

Still, he was uncertain whether the Immortal Gate could persist eternally and establish a thousand generations of peace.

“Master, I humbly ask for your guidance.”

Jiang Zongheng inquired again.

This time, however, Chen Mobai shook his head, refraining from answering the question.

“It is not yet time.”

Chen Mobai’s words left Jiang Zongheng deep in thought. Only Qing Nu seemed to grasp his meaning.

The stability brought by the Immortal Gate’s system on Di Yuan Star was a product of fortuitous circumstances—a gradual fusion and mutual acceptance between cultivators and the ordinary world.

That process was also steeped in bloodshed.

Without the suppression and enforcement of the rules by generations of Huashen Ancestors, the peace of the Immortal Gate would be nothing more than an illusion.

“Nephew Duan seems to be nearing Foundation Establishment.”

At that moment, Chen Mobai noticed Duan Shuyu standing behind Jiang Zongheng. Compared to their last meeting, Duan seemed even older, his hair entirely white.

After all, Duan Shuyu had been quite advanced in age when he first encountered the path of immortal cultivation. Nonetheless, his exceptional talent had allowed him to reach the Ninth Level of Qi Refining within a decade.

“My respects, Master Ancestor. This time, I have come to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.”

Seeing Chen Mobai’s gaze land on him, Duan Shuyu, under Jiang Zongheng’s signal, explained his purpose for visiting.

“Chance has brought us together. Yuan Chiye, retrieve a Foundation Building Pill from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion for him. Deduct the contribution points from my account.”

Chen Mobai commanded generously, and Yuan Chiye immediately nodded in agreement.

“Thank you, Master Ancestor.”

Duan Shuyu expressed his gratitude sincerely.

He had led the Great Zhao Dynasty’s army to unify the Eastern Wilderness—a significant contribution to the Five Elements Sect. Back then, Chen Mobai had approved his reward of eight thousand sect contribution points. Over the years, under Jiang Zongheng’s arrangement, Duan had completed several tasks, finally accruing ten thousand.

Unexpectedly, meeting Chen Mobai today saved him the need for an exchange transaction.

“How have you been progressing in the Unbreakable Body cultivation technique I taught you earlier?”

Looking at Duan Shuyu, Chen Mobai recalled their first meeting, during which he had transmitted the Metal-based Grand Way—a Body Refining Technique capable of rendering the flesh immortal and unbreakable when cultivated to perfection. Only spiritual power condensed through the White Emperor Military Formation Scripture could be used to advance it further.

This Grand Way was precisely a balance to the Water Droplet Sword.

During the era of the Ancient Changsheng Sect, disciples who practiced these two techniques often challenged one another, using each other as a grindstone for mutual progress.

“This disciple has been dull-witted and has only just grasped the fundamentals!”

Duan Shuyu confessed with some embarrassment. After breaking through to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining years ago, he had finally grasped the core principle while tempering his body, condensing his first strand of Unbreakable Spiritual Light to refine his flesh.

“To master this in the Qi Cultivating Realm is already impressive.”

Chen Mobai praised him and then retrieved two jade slips from his storage bag.

These were Grand Ways he had obtained during his exploration of the Divine Tree Secret Realm while cultivating the Earth Spirit Root through the Earth Gathering Art. As purely Metal-element techniques, they were of no use to him and had simply been set aside.

Seeing Duan Shuyu now reminded him of them.

“Thank you, Master Ancestor, for bestowing these immortal laws.”

Duan Shuyu spoke, following the Eastern Wilderness’ customs by first swearing an oath before accepting the jade slips.

“Once he attains Foundation Establishment, arrangements can be made for him to cultivate here in Northern Abyss City.”

Chen Mobai addressed Jiang Zongheng, pointing out that Duan Shuyu’s age placed him at a disadvantage. If he aimed to achieve Core Formation, diligence would be essential, requiring cultivation in a place of strong Spirit Veins such as Northern Abyss City.

“Understood, Master.”

Jiang Zongheng nodded; he, too, held similar thoughts.

With stability in the mortal world and the domain secure, Jiang had even considered retiring from officialdom. Yet, after conversing with Chen Mobai today, he realized he ought to delve deeper into grassroots efforts to uncover a genuine solution to the cyclical collapse of dynasties.

“This is my dear friend, Qing Nu.”

At this moment, Chen Mobai smiled and gestured toward his Daoist companion beside him. Jiang Zongheng, Yuan Chiye, and the others, as Foundation Establishment-level elders in the Five Elements Sect, had some understanding of Qing Nu’s origins.

After all, the ministers and vice-ministers of the Alchemy Department often visited Mount Tianpeng to seek her advice, with sect disciples frequently delivering medicinal materials as well.

Over time, it became common knowledge that the Sect Leader had invited an Alchemy Master.

“Greetings, Qing Nu Senior.”

Though Qing Nu’s true background was unknown, anyone befriending the Sect Leader was undoubtedly not a mere mortal.

Furthermore, her uniquely ethereal and untouched elegance was something rarely seen in the Eastern Wilderness.

Thus, everyone extended their greetings with utmost respect and politeness.

“Xuan is preparing for Core Formation. Now that you’re here, accompany me, will you?”

Chen Mobai suggested to Jiang Zongheng, who immediately agreed.

The group then set out for Cold Jade Lake.

Following the path carved through the Dark Water, Chen Mobai flew forward alongside Qing Nu, describing the original landscape of the Eastern Wilderness and recounting the arduous challenges of transforming the realm.
