I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1673: Chapter 839: Entering the Great Dao Tree

Chen Mobai stood before the Great Dao Tree, gazing at its enormous trunk that seemed to support the heavens and earth, feeling deeply moved.

The achievements he has today, this Great Dao Tree can be said to have played an immense role.

Without its empowerment, many things might still be incomplete to this day.

Such as the Sword Dao Realm, or the Grand Spells like One-Leaf Blindness.

Without the Fourth Rank’s Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth, the development of the Five Elements Sect wouldn’t have been this fast, and Zhou Shengqing’s achievement of the Legal Body Nascent Soul also benefitted from it.

However, this Great Dao Tree, while providing various creation foundations to the Longevity Sect, has also left him with profound shadows.

The scene nearly being absorbed as a Saint Embryo surged into his mind, and Chen Mobai couldn’t help but grip the Purple Electric Sword.

[Master, shall we cut it now?]

The Purple Electric Sword sensed Chen Mobai’s somewhat fluctuating emotions and immediately became excited.

“Not for now!”

Chen Mobai shook his head, holding the Purple Electric Sword, he effortlessly took thirteen steps, perfectly passing the Longevity Trials.

The enormous pressure that could previously make his Divine Sense and body tremble, now in front of him, felt as gentle as a breeze.

During this process, he paused a bit at the last two steps, hoping the Great Dao Tree would empower him again.

To see if he could directly empower the Grand Spell he practiced to the Fifth Rank.

But unfortunately, the Great Dao Tree’s limit is the Fourth Rank. Multiple empowerments can at most deepen his comprehension at the Fourth Rank, but can’t help him cross that substantial bottleneck.

For this, Chen Mobai felt slightly disappointed.

Thinking that he’d need to rely on himself to breakthrough the Grand Spell to the Fifth Rank felt like a waste of time.

Just then, a verdant green leaf drifted down from the sky, merging with the leaf mark glowing on his forehead.

[Thirteen steps before the Great Dao Tree, achievement of immortal quality, can be the Saint Embryo of my Longevity Sect.]

Chen Mobai felt the information arising in his Sea of Consciousness and couldn’t help but nod lightly.

It’s still that familiar taste.

This time, however, the Great Dao Tree did not immediately absorb him.

Could it be that after being cut by the Purple Electric Sword, it hasn’t recovered yet?

While waiting, Chen Mobai saw the latest deep sword mark on the Great Dao Tree’s rough bark, thinking along these lines.

Echoes in the Void had already been pushed to its limit by him, and he heard inside the Great Dao Tree, itself hiding a secret space.

But this time, he did not rashly use Void Walking to step in.

Finally, a powerful green light surged out of thin air, enveloping him entirely, and then a black crack split in the center of the Great Dao Tree, the inner space opened a door, trying to pull him in.

Chen Mobai first attempted with Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, discovering this Fourth Grade Superior Magic Artifact could only contend with the Great Dao Tree’s green light, and as time passed, his body along with the five-colored smoke clouds on the surface, were still slowly drawn by the green light towards the crack.

He immediately switched to the Heavenly Bead in his palm.

The Fifth Rank Magic Artifacts are different.

Under the Heavenly Bead, Chen Mobai’s form was like the Sea God Needle, no matter how powerful the green light was, it remained firmly in place before the Great Dao Tree, unmoved by an inch.

Though having already achieved Nascent Soul Formation, Chen Mobai’s cautious nature wouldn’t change.

Since this Great Dao Tree is the fundamental source of the Longevity Sect’s heritage, and also shoulders the task of selecting a Saint Embryo for the Heavenly Sovereign, it certainly wouldn’t be so simple.

Perhaps inside it holds restrictions of the Fifth Rank or similar, and without understanding the details, it’s best not to risk entering with the true body.

Chen Mobai took out the Formless Puppet he had prepared long ago, infused his Divine Sense within, and then, along with the Purple Electric Sword, followed the green light into the crack of the Great Dao Tree.

Once the Formless Puppet was absorbed, the green light of the Great Dao Tree paused, seemingly sensing that the Saint Embryo had already entered, it gradually faded away.

Chen Mobai’s true body guarded with the Heavenly Bead, Divine Sense began to control the Formless Puppet to explore the deepest secrets hidden by the Great Dao Tree.

About a few breaths later, the Formless Puppet arrived inside a mysterious hall.

The Purple Electric Sword circled around Chen Mobai’s puppet body, somewhat unused to it, took a spin.

This Formless Puppet, installed with a Supreme-grade Spirit Stone by Chen Mobai, along with his modifications, can wield the power of a normal Core Formation cultivator.

[Master, why did you suddenly become weaker?]

Chen Mobai explained it was an embodiment, then, with the Purple Electric Sword, moved towards the interior of the hall.

The footsteps of the Formless Puppet echoed through the ancient corridor, meanwhile, with the energy support of the Supreme-grade Spirit Stone, the exploration mode launched at full power, soon the structure of the hall appeared on the screen.

Passing through the long corridor, he entered the central area of the hall.

To his surprise, it was a dry pool.

Divine Liquid Purification!

The term surfaced in Chen Mobai’s mind.

To become a Saint Embryo, one must first purify the body, then infuse it with the Heavenly Sovereign’s Spiritual Sense.

This is known as “Divine Liquid Purification” and “Soul Sensing Enlightenment.”

This pool should be where Divine Liquid Purification takes place, except, to his surprise, over the long years, the divine liquid had dried up.

As Chen Mobai thought along these lines, he suddenly noticed something amiss.

He saw fragments like some kind of debris in the pool, picked up a piece, analyzed it with the Formless Puppet, discovering it was human skin.

[Someone was refined into a Saint Embryo here!]

This thought suddenly flashed through Chen Mobai’s mind.

If that’s the case, then the divine liquid in this pool isn’t dried up, but used up.

Who could it be?

In Chen Mobai’s mind, a figure quickly emerged.

True Lord Yuan!

This ascended cultivator, having acquired the divine legacy of the Longevity Sect in the Eastern Wilderness, was already a well-known fact.

Could it be that it was here that he laid down his supreme foundation!?

Or could it be…

Chen Mobai thought of the soul-sensing enlightenment after the purification by divine liquid, and his heart surged with immense waves.

After scanning the entire dried-up pool, Chen Mobai saw more fragments of human skin and bits of hair in the corner.

Upon confirming there was no other information, he took the Purple Electric Sword and proceeded towards the rear hall.

As soon as he entered, his gaze was captivated.

It was a tree branch rooted in the void, half a meter long.

The branch was completely crystalline, with seven leaves as green as jade, exuding an incredibly profound aura.

Beep beep beep!

As the scanning halo of the Formless Puppet landed on the tree branch, it erupted with a bright red warning, the highest level of alarm.

[Master, this branch… seems… more powerful than me…]

At this moment, the Purple Electric Sword also stammered out a sentence.

Chen Mobai was instantly shocked.

Even though his true body hadn’t entered, he could roughly analyze that this branch might be a sixth-rank item.

Or even beyond the sixth rank!

[Could this be a branch from the Heavenly Sovereign’s true form?]

Thought Chen Mobai, relieved that he had let the Formless Puppet test the waters first.

But after waiting for a while, he still didn’t reach the stage of soul-sensing enlightenment.

The Formless Puppet had scanned the rear hall by now, discovering that there should have been a lot of books and items, but the shelves were empty.

It was evident that someone had taken them all, leaving him nothing.

Thinking of this, Chen Mobai felt that True Lord Yuan was a bit excessive.

But immediately, he turned his gaze to the green tree branch suspended in the void.

If it is indeed True Lord Yuan, why would he leave this behind?

Chen Mobai quickly figured out this problem; by the local customs, they would take all the benefits with them. Since it was left behind, there was only one answer.

It couldn’t be taken!

Having understood this point, Chen Mobai increasingly felt that this tree branch must have been plucked from the Heavenly Sovereign’s true form.

Given the realm of the Heavenly Sovereign, even before True Lord Yuan’s ascension, he probably couldn’t move it.

But upon understanding, Chen Mobai felt discouraged.

If True Lord Yuan couldn’t take it, there’s no way he could either!

However, he soon adjusted his mindset.

Although he couldn’t take it, the Divine Tree Secret Realm and the Great Dao Tree were now in his hands, equating to an indirect possession.

Thinking this, Chen Mobai commanded the Formless Puppet to approach the green tree branch.

This branch seemed devoid of consciousness, yet the immense energy it contained caused the Formless Puppet’s warning signal to grow louder and louder.

Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment but still reached out to grasp the branch.

At the moment of contact, a vast torrent surged in, instantly filling the Formless Puppet’s memory.

The Purple Electric Sword immediately knocked him away from the branch.

After a while, Chen Mobai cleared part of the memory, and driving the Formless Puppet, he stood up again.

From the contact just now, he finally understood why the Great Dao Tree could empower.

The source was this branch.

It contained all the inheritances of the Longevity Sect, be it the Five Great Immortal Sutras or the Twenty-Four Great Dao Techniques, even skills related to Sword Dao, talisman crafting, artifact refining, alchemy, and others could all be found within it.

And this branch was precisely the source of the Divine Tree Secret Realm.

The Three Divine Trees and all the spirit woods originated from this.

If one could absorb all the inheritances on this branch, it would be equivalent to obtaining the spirit of the Heavenly Sovereign.

Those with insufficient cultivation level would be irresistibly overwhelmed by this knowledge during the inheritance process, thus becoming a minor Heavenly Sovereign.

If one’s willpower was strong enough, they could, conversely, digest the spirit of the Heavenly Sovereign, transforming all of the Longevity Sect’s legacies into their own foundation and heritage.

Fortunately, he had the Purple Electric Sword by his side this time and had given prior instructions, otherwise, facing this green tree branch, at least the Formless Puppet’s divine consciousness would be overshadowed, leading to the loss of this Formless Puppet.

With a sense of relief, Chen Mobai suddenly thought of a question.

Was True Lord Yuan back then overshadowed by the spirit of the Heavenly Sovereign?

Being able to leap from an ordinary pioneer cultivator to become one of the pinnacle divinity-transcending True Monarchs in the Tianhe Realm, True Lord Yuan’s experience is legendary.

It was precisely because this experience was so mystical that Chen Mobai had deep suspicions.

After all, the atmosphere in the Tianhe Realm was exceedingly perilous, with countless examples of those who acquired mighty legacies falling midway.

Yet True Lord Yuan ascended!
