I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1668: Chapter 834: Return to the Eastern Wilderness

Golden Crow Immortal City.

The Baiwu Ancestor courteously escorted Elder Yan Yang of the Fire Cloud Palace to the large-scale Transmission Array.

“Junior Brother, we’ve settled the matter with the Primordial Taoist Child of the Five Elements Sect for you, so don’t cause us any more trouble in the future.”

Before leaving, Elder Yan Yang said earnestly.

“What are you saying, Senior Brother? I have no past grievances, nor recent animosity with Emperor Chen Qing. It was just a slight misunderstanding. Now that the peace talks are complete, my Golden Crow Immortal City will keep its doors open to his Five Elements Sect. Perhaps we might even cooperate in the future.”

With a smile, the Baiwu Ancestor said, after which Elder Yan Yang nodded, turned around, and teleported back to the East Land.

Once Elder Yan Yang vanished, the smile on Baiwu Ancestor’s face disappeared instantly.

He returned to the grand hall of the Sun Bathing Sea with no expression on his face.

All ten True Disciples from the Sun Bathing Sea followed suit, standing on either side.

Zhu Jun was at the forefront on the left.

On the right was a middle-aged cultivator wearing a fiery red robe with a golden sun leaping embroidered on his chest. He was Baiwu Ancestor’s second disciple, Xu Yingsheng.

“Liu Nan Sheng, you need to make another trip to Bright Mirror Mountain…”

The Baiwu Ancestor sat at the head of the discussion hall, his gaze sharp, calling Liu Nan Sheng, whom he had met with Chen Mobai before, to his side, and spoke of certain matters.

After listening, Liu Nan Sheng’s eyes expressed bitterness, but outwardly, he respectfully nodded and then left the Golden Crow Immortal City once more.

…

“Exterminate Empty Mulberry Valley!”

Upon hearing what Liu Nan Sheng said, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but look surprised.

“Yes, Sect Master Chen, as my master said, resources are not particularly abundant here in the East Barbarians, and there are too many Nascent Soul Major Factions.”

“Now that our two sides have reached a peace agreement and have a foundation of mutual trust, as long as we join forces to annihilate Empty Mulberry Valley, each of our territories could increase by at least one-third.”

“As an expression of apology for the Tuosu Mountain Spirit Stone Mine, after the fall of Empty Mulberry Valley, our Sun Bathing Sea only wants the Fifth-Order Pure Bamboo. The Fifth Grade Spirit Vein can be given to your sect, and even the spiritual resources such as the medicine fields, spirit fields, and mines of Empty Mulberry Valley can be chosen by your sect first.”

Liu Nan Sheng conveyed the conditions that Baiwu Ancestor had verbally informed him.

Baiwu Ancestor was somewhat tempted by the Big Yellow Elixir, so he wondered if he could drag the Five Elements Sect into the muddy waters.

However, these matters couldn’t leave any written traces, lest in the future, Ku Zhu truly passed the trials of Submerged Abyss Island and came back to take revenge on him.

Thus, he sent Liu Nan Sheng, his disciple, to probe first. As long as Chen Mobai, a native of the Tianhe Realm, heard Baiwu Ancestor’s conditions, he would surely be tempted.

By then, if Empty Mulberry Valley were destroyed and the Five Elements Sect occupied their Fifth Grade Spirit Vein, Ku Zhu would certainly regard Chen Mobai as an enemy.

In doing so, Baiwu Ancestor could achieve two goals with one move.

But unfortunately, Chen Mobai was an upright person!

“You can return. My leading the Five Elements Sect to annihilate the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace was solely because they courted death. I personally uphold the philosophy of harmony; as long as Empty Mulberry Valley behaves, I will never take the initiative against them.”

Without hesitation, Chen Mobai refused.

After hearing this, Liu Nan Sheng, based on his position, should have tried to persuade a bit more to fulfill the mission Baiwu Ancestor had given him.

But he simply nodded and immediately left obediently, returning to the Golden Crow Immortal City.

“If he comes again in the future, direct him to see Zhou Ye and refrain from bringing him to me.”

Seeing Liu Nan Sheng leave, Chen Mobai said to Luo Yixuan beside him. The latter nodded repeatedly, thinking that the master, as a Nascent Soul Superior, indeed stooped too low by meeting Golden Core Cultivators.

…

Upon returning to the Golden Crow Immortal City, Liu Nan Sheng immediately reported the results of his mission to Bright Mirror Mountain to Baiwu Ancestor.

After listening, Baiwu Ancestor stayed silent for a moment.

Although he anticipated that Chen Mobai might refuse, he hadn’t expected such a hypocritical rejection.

Harmony and peace?

There was no such word as peace in the Tianhe Realm!

However, since the Five Elements Sect wasn’t taking action, their Sun Bathing Sea couldn’t take action against Empty Mulberry Valley either.

But just watching the Five Elements Sect digest the territory of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace was utterly discomforting for Baiwu Ancestor.

After all, compared to Chen Mobai, he was already nearing the end of his journey.

As time passed, the Five Elements Sect would only grow stronger. If he didn’t find a way to hinder them, once the Sun Bathing Sea lost a Nascent Soul, even with the Golden Crow Immortal City and the Fifth-Rank Great Formation, they likely could not resist the rising Emperor Chen Qing.

At this thought, Baiwu Ancestor made a firm decision.

He first dismissed Liu Nan Sheng, then summoned his eldest disciple Zhu Jun and second disciple Xu Yingsheng.

“Back then, I set a seal in the center of Yun Meng Ze. Now I intend to release that Poisonous Dragon Demon Beast. Let it act as my pawn, creating distractions for Emperor Chen Qing in the Eastern Wilderness.”

Hearing Baiwu Ancestor’s words, both Zhu Jun and Xu Yingsheng were startled and alarmed.

In the past, when sealing the Poisonous Dragon, both of them followed Baiwu Ancestor.

The might of that Poisonous Dragon is still vividly remembered.

If it weren’t for the cooperation of the Three Great Nascent Souls, along with the Taoist Soldier War Array of the Three Great Influences, using numerical superiority to eliminate most Rank-1 to Rank-3 demonic beasts, the Poisonous Dragon Demon Beast couldn’t have been sealed by them.

“Master, if we release that Poisonous Dragon, with its power, we’re likely to be unable to escape.”

Zhu Jun spoke, feeling a bit troubled.

Baiwu Ancestor called them both over, obviously to assign this task to them.

“I’ll leave this matter to you two. Whoever does well, I’ll exchange a portion of Three Lights Divine Water for them at the next Beidou Conference.”

Baiwu Ancestor wasn’t keen on saying more to the two disciples and directly mentioned the task’s reward.

Although Zhu Jun had the closest relationship with him, she had previously offended various forces within Jinwu Immortal City because of him, nearly tearing apart the relationship with the Five Elements Sect. He was already having thoughts.

Moreover, the second disciple Xu Yingsheng also had Perfect Core Formation cultivation. Over the years, he had worked diligently, without complaint, and perfectly executed his orders during the Tuosu Mountain Spirit Stone Mine incident, bringing several million raw Spirit Stones to Sun Bathing Sea. He deserved a chance for Nascent Soul Formation.

“Yes, Master!”

Upon hearing Baiwu Ancestor’s words, Xu Yingsheng immediately accepted the order.

Zhu Jun bit her silver teeth and nodded as well.

She knew her previous mistakes couldn’t be erased by mere punishments; her master was already doubting her capabilities.

This task to release the Poisonous Dragon Demon Beast, if she didn’t complete it, she might fall out of favor completely.

The other two junior sisters were always watching greedily.

“Here is the method to lift the Sun Seal; memorize it well.”

Baiwu Ancestor imparted a set of hand seals—only disciples who practiced his core cultivation technique and achieved Sun Bathing True Qi could accomplish the task.

In the entire Sun Bathing Sea, besides him, it was only these two.

Although Baiwu Ancestor knew that whoever released the Poisonous Dragon Demon Beast had a high chance of becoming its meal, great accomplishments require risks. His cultivation to this realm was also honed through countless magic duels and life-threatening adventures.

After the two disciples left Jinwu Immortal City, Baiwu Ancestor commanded Liu Nan Sheng to continuously monitor the situation with the Five Elements Sect.

After the Five Elements Sect completed negotiations with Sun Bathing Sea, other observing Golden Core forces from the East Barbarians sent their Sect Leaders to thank the Five Elements Sect for eradicating the evil forces of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace that plagued the East Barbarians for over three thousand years.

However, Chen Mobai did not meet these people again; he let Zhou Ye handle all these matters.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was naturally seen as justified in doing so.

Over time, the chaotic period in the East Barbarians caused by the destruction of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace gradually settled back into order.

The Five Elements Sect began to replace Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, dominating one-third of the sky in the East Barbarians.

Under their powerful strength, even when some disciples from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace escaped and created chaos, they were easily suppressed by Mobai Dou led by Golden Vein Sword Cultivators.

Chen Mobai, seeing the stabilized situation, considered returning to the Eastern Wilderness.

However, such a large territory in the East Barbarians without a Nascent Soul seated was not ideal, so after discussing with Zhou Shengqing, he let the latter guard first.

After all, post-negotiations with Sun Bathing Sea, Nascent Soul cultivators surely wouldn’t fight anymore.

And to deal with those below Nascent Soul, Zhou Shengqing was invincible.

“Senior Brother, I’ll leave this to you then.”

Besides Zhou Shengqing, Mobai Dou, Zhou Ye, and Fu Zongjue were also left by Chen Mobai there.

He only brought Luo Yixuan, Yin Qingmei, and Chu Zuoshu and a few others back.

“Rest assured, Sect Leader Junior Brother.”

Zhou Shengqing patted his chest, indicating everything would be fine with him.

On the way back to the Ruins of the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai encountered some Five Elements Sect cultivators. It turned out Nu Jiang was still leading an army capturing fleeing disciples from the battlefields of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.

Most of those captured were willing to surrender; after restrictive spells were placed in their Dantian Qi Sea, all were sent back to the Eastern Desolation Plateau, dispatched to mine, manage sand, do labor, and more.

Approaching the Ruins of the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai met Nu Jiang, who received the news and rushed over, conversing with him for a while.

“Withdraw all our Five Elements Sect disciples; the war is over, and it’s time for them to enjoy the fruits of victory.”

Upon hearing his words, Nu Jiang’s face was filled with joy.

Only Chen Mobai or Zhou Shengqing could declare the end of the war, requiring massive Spirit Stone contributions, among other things, to compensate the disciples for the war efforts.

It was a huge expenditure.

Even for the wealth accumulated over the years by the Five Elements Sect, it pinched their heart.

However, obtaining all the territories of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace through these wars, the following years would see the thirty thousand acres of medicine fields in the East Barbarians, if developed well, provide them yearly with at least ten million Spirit Stones.

Returning to Northern Abyss City, after delegating these affairs to the others, Chen Mobai directly took a medium teleportation array to Giant Tree Ridge.

Then he diverted his path and arrived at Mount Tianpeng in Cloud County.
