I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1677: Chapter 843 Snow-blowing Palace Submits

Although the Snow-blowing Palace was sealed off, it could still receive information from the outside.

Because when Lan Lingping sealed the mountain, she led one-third of the disciples away from the sect and had been living in Northern Abyss City.

She originally intended to transition in Northern Abyss City for a while, then go to Yun Meng Ze to find a spiritual island and lead the disciples to establish a branch sect to continue the Snow-blowing Palace’s legacy.

But later she found it more convenient to cultivate on this side of Northern Abyss City.

Over the years, leveraging the large amount of Spirit Stones she brought from the sect, she purchased many resources that were previously unattainable by Snow-blowing Palace, elevating her cultivation level to the completion of Foundation Establishment.

She even had a Rank-4 Water Mist Ice Crystal, which could be used to assist in Core Formation.

However, despite having the conditions, Lan Lingping did not dare to risk forming her core.

After all, she was in Northern Abyss City, although the Five Elements Sect promised that as long as she bought a house, they would protect the safety of the homeowner.

But she was not just a Foundation Establishment practitioner; she intended Core Formation.

And the locals’ style, those in the know, understand!

In such circumstances, Lan Lingping lived cautiously in Northern Abyss City for twenty years. She originally intended to lead the disciples to Yun Meng Ze, but during her seclusion for cultivation, the disciples accepted various tasks from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to pay the high rental costs in Northern Abyss City.

Because the disciples of Snow-blowing Palace were adept at the Cloud and Rain Technique, with some training, they could easily tend to the Spirit Field Spirit Rice and such.

Some whose precipitation techniques were outstanding were even offered double the Spirit Stones by Zhuo Ming to plant trees and combat desertification in Rainbow County.

When Lan Lingping emerged from seclusion, many outstanding disciples had saved enough Spirit Stones from their hard work to pay the down payment for a place in Northern Abyss City.

Those disciples settled in Northern Abyss City naturally didn’t want to follow Lan Lingping to Yun Meng Ze.

After all, here, as long as one worked hard, they could earn Spirit Stones, and even get free Spirit Rice if working on Five Elements Sect projects.

But if they went to Yun Meng Ze, life and death would be beyond their control.

Even Foundation Establishment practitioners faced death when encountering Third-Order Demonic beasts during a beast tide.

Any sensible cultivator would choose to stay in Northern Abyss City.

Seeing that only a handful of loyal disciples were willing to follow her, Lan Lingping decided to remain where she could make use of herself, avoiding the dangers of Yun Meng Ze.

After all, she took plenty of Snow-blowing Palace’s belongings, not only purchasing a Rank-3 Cave Dwelling but also being able to buy any needed elixirs or resources, becoming accustomed to living a life of status in Northern Abyss City.

Later, Lan Lingping witnessed the mighty power of the Five Elements Sect, as rapid and drastic changes occurred.

When news arrived that Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing, the two Nascent Soul cultivators, had been revealed and destroyed the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, she utterly abandoned the idea of revenge.

She even took pride in being a registered resident of Northern Abyss City.

Because after the fall of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, Northern Abyss City’s property prices tripled within a short time.

The protection offered by a Golden Core major faction paled in comparison to that provided by a Nascent Soul major faction.

Northern Abyss City’s protectors upgraded from Golden Core to two Nascent Souls, and any sharp-eyed cultivator knew the value of property in this Immortal City.

This meant that as long as they didn’t offend the Eastern Earth Holy Land, the Five Elements Sect could ensure their safety.

During this time, Lan Lingping began writing letters urging Zhu Jinyu to concede, saying haven’t you seen Yan Shaoyin, a Golden Core cultivator, also offered the millennia-old foundation of Back to Sky Valley to the Five Elements Sect?

After all, while Sect Master Chen of the Five Elements Sect was an honest gentleman, Zhou Shengqing was not, having had many grievances with Kong Lingling before. Once the Five Elements Sect digested the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace’s territory, the next target would surely be clearing out the forces that still didn’t belong to Five Elements Sect in the Eastern Wilderness.

Facing Nascent Soul cultivators, even with a Rank-4 Large Formation, it’s merely a matter of sooner or later before death.

And since Kong Lingling was tainted by the Demon Path, for the Five Elements Sect to eliminate Snow-blowing Palace would even be seen as upholding justice.

Without the Ice Palace to support them, if they didn’t adapt to the circumstances, it would likely mean their extermination once the mountain sealing ended.

In this regard, Zhu Jinyu was also very hesitant, as her heart wavered between the grandmaster’s foundation and her own life.

Ultimately, her own life prevailed.

Who wants to die if they can live?

Furthermore, after hearing from Lan Lingping about the changes in the Eastern Wilderness under Five Elements Sect’s rule, Zhu Jinyu felt she might also manage to form her core.

After all, to a Golden Core major faction, the presence of other Core Formation cultivators in their territory was naturally an eye sore.

But for the current Five Elements Sect, if they attempt Core Formation, the two Nascent Soul cultivators might just shrug indifferently.

With this in mind, Zhu Jinyu decided to give away the grandmaster’s millennia-old foundation to gain freedom in the Eastern Wilderness.

When Chen Mobai arrived in Northern Abyss City, Liu Wenbo brought Xue Ting over.

“Greetings, superior!”

After many years of not seeing each other, Xue Ting was still much the same, graceful and polite.

Chen Mobai greeted her with a smile as he did with familiar faces, and after taking her letter, he invited her to sit down.

But Xue Ting repeatedly declined, choosing to stand with Liu Wenbo while he finished reading.

“Sect Master Zhu’s actions are in accordance with the heavenly way and align with the grand trend. This will certainly lead to remarkable achievements in the future.”

After reading, Chen Mobai praised her with these words.

After all, being able to take over the last force in the Eastern Wilderness without bloodshed was beneficial to both him and the Five Elements Sect.

This success was also attributed to Chen Mobai’s long-standing good reputation in the Eastern Wilderness.

If it were someone else, Zhu Jinyu and Lan Lingping might have fled with the assets of the Snow-blowing Palace and abandoned their disciples upon realizing the Five Elements Sect had two Nascent Soul Cultivators.

“Sect Master Zhu stated that after submitting to the Five Elements Sect, all spirit veins and resources of the Snow-blowing Palace are offered willingly, in exchange for a place for herself and her disciples in Northern Abyss City.”

Xue Ting expressed with some embarrassment.

After all, with Northern Abyss City’s current housing prices, even a cultivation family would have to bite the bullet to purchase a house.

With so many from the Snow-blowing Palace, if we arranged housing for all of them, it would amount to an astronomical figure in Spirit Stones.

“Northern Abyss City no longer has that many vacant houses, and I can’t force other residents to give up their properties either. At most, I can only arrange one for Sect Master Zhu.”

Chen Mobai shook his head and directly refused the request.

“Yes, I will report truthfully after I return.”

Upon hearing this, Xue Ting said no more.

In her view, Zhu Jinyu would surely agree.

After all, it was the Snow-blowing Palace seeking to join the Five Elements Sect, with arrangements made for her in Northern Abyss City.

“I will write a letter for you, Nephew Xue Ting, to take back to Zhu Jinyu. Tell her that after the Snow-blowing Palace submits, it should disband immediately, so the vow to seal the mountain need not be upheld.”

“However, to prevent any gathering and disturbances by the disciples after disbandment, I will arrange work for each of them. As long as they work hard, supporting their cultivation shouldn’t be an issue.”

“The Fourth Grade Spirit Vein left by the Snow-blowing Palace, I plan to develop into a new Scholarly Mansion and Immortal City. Once the Immortal City is established, all former disciples of the Snow-blowing Palace can receive a Cave Dwelling according to their cultivation level.”

The concept of resettlement housing was thus introduced by Chen Mobai.

Xue Ting listened, half-understanding, but Chen Mobai wrote down everything he said.

“Esteemed one, then I shall take my leave now.”

Xue Ting received the letter with a respectful demeanor and saluted.

“No need to hurry. Ming’er is coming over today, too. Why not have a gathering together?”

Chen Mobai stopped her and asked Liu Wenbo to make tea, inquiring about her recent years.

Xue Ting only briefly mentioned a few things.

During the Snow-blowing Palace’s mountain closure, she was the only one allowed to enter and exit. All kinds of resources, including Spirit Rice, had to be delivered through her, earning her respect.

This matter was quite simple because many supplies had already been prepared by Lan Lingping in Northern Abyss City, and she only needed to collect them over time.

However, there were rumors that she was a traitor to the Snow-blowing Palace, having long submitted to the Five Elements Sect, which was why she received such preferential treatment.

Xue Ting did not respond to this when she heard such rumors.

After the Five Elements Sect destroyed Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and the existence of two Nascent Soul Cultivators was revealed, many of her senior and junior sisters at the Snow-blowing Palace actively approached her, hoping to find out if there was still an opportunity to join the Five Elements Sect.

Once the Five Elements Sect demonstrated its formidable strength, the idea of submission and allegiance was already surging among many disciples of the Snow-blowing Palace.

Zhu Jinyu realized this point, so she didn’t hesitate any longer.

Before long, Zhuo Ming arrived as well.

She was very happy to see Xue Ting there.

The two were truly close confidants, and Zhuo Ming was Xue Ting’s first heartfelt friend. The latter’s somewhat aloof expression blossomed into a rare gentle smile upon seeing Zhuo Ming.

“Master, I feel signs of attaining Core Formation.”

After the two old friends caught up, Zhuo Ming revealed the purpose of her visit.

Chen Mobai was delighted to hear this.
