I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1615: Chapter 805: The Number of Cultivators

“If someone as talented as you emerges again, exceptions can naturally be made.”

“The resources of the entire Di Yuan Star, if fully utilized, can actually support six God-Transcending cultivators. The limit we currently have is only to leave room for future Divinity Transformation cultivators.”

“The spiritual energy consumed by about fifty Nascent Soul cultivators is equivalent to one God-Transcending cultivator. Right now, on Di Yuan Star, we have me, Bai Guang, and the Spiritual Venerable, so there are still three slots available.”

“If, in the future, either you or Qi Yuheng achieves Divinity Transformation, then an opening war must be initiated, or Bai Guang and I must leave here, following the star map left behind by the Five Ancestors of the Immortal Gate to seek the original arena.”

“Within the Immortal Gate, aside from Bai Guang and me, the spiritual energy reserved for the other three billion cultivators is equivalent to just one Divinity Transformation cultivator’s spiritual energy capacity. Based on my calculations, twenty Nascent Soul cultivators, eight hundred Gold Core cultivators, and one million Foundation Establishment cultivators constitute the ideal upper limit. Under such conditions, the Celestial Canopy and Earthly Network formation can absorb cosmic spiritual energy and convert star and moonlight adequately, with even some surplus to prepare for future opening wars.”

“However, even if we slightly exceed this limit, it won’t be too concerning. After all, the portion of spiritual energy from the sea territory isn’t fully utilized yet. At the worst, we could borrow some from the Spiritual Venerable.”

After hearing Leading Star Ancestor’s explanation, Chen Mobai gained a more detailed and direct understanding of the resource scarcity within the Immortal Gate.

It pales in comparison to Tianhe Realm’s East Continent.

Not to mention during the Heavenly Sovereign’s era—even in the era of the Eastern Emperor Court—there were double-digit numbers of God-Transcending cultivators. These individuals cultivated atop the East Continent, and he had never heard of spiritual energy shortages during that time.

“Indeed, Ancestor. This Stat Fire can only be utilized by cultivators who have cultivated the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book foundation. Aside from me, perhaps only Pei Qingshuang would be capable of using it within the Immortal Gate.”

Chen Mobai spoke. Among Immortal Gate cultivators, those practicing the Qing Shi and Qing Jing cultivation techniques were numerous, but the ones personally connected to him numbered only Pei Qingshuang. Thus, his words indirectly requested permission from Leading Star Ancestor on her behalf to use the Stat Fire in the future.

“Pei Qingshuang? Who is that?”

Leading Star Ancestor, puzzled by the name, asked.

“She is the daughter of Peach Blossom Sage and the Sword Master of the Qing Shuang Sword.”

Chen Mobai quickly explained. He hadn’t expected that Pei Qingshuang, in Leading Star Ancestor’s eyes, was so inconsequential.

“Peach Blossom’s daughter? Isn’t her name Pei Cui? Did she change it?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai realized that Leading Star Ancestor was unaware of Pei Qingshuang’s name change.

“She devoted herself to the sword, striving for the unity of man and weapon with the Qing Shuang Sword’s Clear Heart of Sword. Thus, she changed her name accordingly.”

With Chen Mobai’s explanation, Leading Star Ancestor nodded in realization.

“The originally allocated twenty Nascent Soul slots were distributed across the four lineages, five for each. However, only the Heaven-Repairing lineage has consistently utilized theirs.”

“With the opening war imminent, we don’t know the background of the alternate world bordering Di Yuan Star. Hence, over the years, I’ve been assisting talented juniors capable of Nascent Soul Formation, so as to maximize the number of high-order cultivators within the Immortal Gate within the limits of available spiritual energy.”

“The spiritual energy slot allocated to Narcissus always falls under the sea territory. Thus, going forward, your Weapon Dancing Sect and Jumang Sect can accommodate one or two more Nascent Soul cultivators, all within the permissible range of the quota. This matter can be internally discussed among the main leaders of the Three Great Halls representing the four lineages. Even slightly exceeding the quota isn’t an issue; those additional needs can be balanced by reducing the spiritual energy allocated to high-grade spiritual plants.”

Hearing this explanation, Chen Mobai understood why the Heaven-Repairing lineage housed so many Nascent Soul cultivators.

It turns out, in Leading Star Ancestor’s eyes, this arrangement was merely to avoid wasting spiritual energy.

Chen Mobai calculated further: the Weapon Dancing Sect currently had three Nascent Soul cultivators, meaning it had two remaining slots.

As for Jumang Sect, it currently only comprised Peach Blossom Sage and Three Extremes Sage. Even if Wen Ren Xuewei and Pei Qingshuang both formed their Nascent Souls in the future, there would still be an additional slot available.

“To prepare for the opening war, I’m considering activating spiritual energy reserves accumulated over the last thousand years to boost Immortal Gate’s strength, enough for one more Divinity Transformation cultivator’s quota.”

At this moment, Leading Star Ancestor made another statement that caused Chen Mobai’s face to darken. After hearing this, he couldn’t help but inquire further.

“Has the portal sensed the approach of the alternate world? When will we be able to dispatch people to explore the other side?”

In past opening wars, Immortal Gate would send its people through the portal before the alternate world fully approached to gather preliminary intelligence about the enemy.

“Soon, likely in about ten years. Coincidentally, Nangong Xuanyu has made a mistake recently, so I’ve decided to send him to lead the expedition as a means to redeem himself.”

After hearing this, Chen Mobai felt complete admiration for Leading Star Ancestor.

It was clear that Immortal Gate’s current era of peace owed much to the Ancestor’s wise leadership.

Any previous resentment Chen Mobai had toward the Heaven-Repairing lineage disappeared completely at this moment.

“Ancestor is fair and impartial, rewarding and punishing appropriately. I am wholeheartedly convinced.”

Leading Star Ancestor responded with a faint smile and then brought up another matter.

“Your previously unveiled Asura Dharma Aspect—Yuan Xu has developed a replacement for Soul Nourishing Wood. However, due to spiritual energy constraints, I have not permitted its release yet. If the alternate world proves a formidable enemy during the opening war, this replacement could be used to quickly elevate several Nascent Soul-level warriors. Including your report on Master Huakai, these would all be significant contributions.”
