I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1694: Chapter 859: A Corner of Peace

Before leaving, Zhuo Ming and the other two entrusted their current tasks to others.

The task of cultivating fertile fields in the Eastern Wilderness was handed over to Han Zhiling, the third-generation eldest disciple of Xiao Nanshan.

As for the connecting project, Song Huangdae took charge.

A month later, Ning Leshan of the Metal Vein successfully achieved Core Formation and emerged from seclusion. The first thing he did after consolidating his realm was to pay a visit to Chen Mobai.

“Very good, very good. Cultivate well, and hopefully, among our generation, there will be you.”

Chen Mobai primarily encouraged his cultivators.

Ning Leshan listened humbly, not daring to accept too much praise.

Although he had confidence in himself, the Nascent Soul Realm was beyond the capability of Golden Cliff.

This was because, despite the Metal Vein’s cultivation technique being able to reach the early Nascent Soul stage like the Longevity Scripture, no one had ever successfully achieved it.

“This matter is not difficult. Take my order token to the Beiyuan City Library. There, you will find 1,200 Daoist scriptures collected from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, most of which are secret techniques and divine skills of the Metal Attribute. There’s also a Clear Mirror Calming Water Sword technique that can be cultivated to Nascent Soul Complete. If your attribute is suitable, you can switch to that.”

Magnanimously, Chen Mobai directly wrote a note, which Ning Leshan gratefully accepted.

With the comprehensive merger of the Five Element Meridians, aside from Spirit Treasure Pavilion managing various tasks and spirit stone resource distribution, the library collected all Daoist manuals and jade slip books from the five meridians.

Of these, Chen Mobai represented the Wood Vein, offering all cultivation technique manuals obtained from conquering various factions in the Eastern Wilderness over the years. The other four meridians responded immediately as well. After the downfall of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, he brought the Daoist scriptures there and placed them within, and any disciple with contributions could exchange for part of it according to their current cultivation level.

Chen Mobai even added his Core Formation Insights.

Because of this, cultivators in the Five Elements Sect who were ambitious mostly headed to Beiyuan City.

There, they could purchase various resources they needed and easily access diverse knowledge that was previously hard to obtain.

As a result, other major clans in the Eastern Wilderness and loose cultivators eagerly anticipated it, considering the Beiyuan City Library akin to a holy land.

If allowed to enter and take a look, they felt it was worth a shorter lifespan.

Originally, Chen Mobai considered opening the library to outsiders, but given the atmosphere here, he dismissed the notion.

However, he offered an opportunity; cultivators outside the Five Elements Sect could exchange their own books if the library did not possess them, and if the knowledge was useful to the sect, they could trade for three books of equivalent rank.

This rule was added by Chen Mobai after the fall of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, when the Five Elements Sect had solidified its power, allowing him to easily maintain control, even if a few Golden Core cultivators emerged among the loose cultivators or cultivator families.

Regarding this rule, all cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness praised it unanimously, declaring that the sect leader of the Five Elements Sect, Master Chen, could not be adequately described by simply calling him a great sage and good teacher.

They deemed him akin to a living embodiment of an ancient saint!

After the rule was introduced, the collection of the Beiyuan City Library tripled in just one month.

Although many were Rank-1 or Rank-2 books, with few Rank-3 ones, the expansion and completion filled many gaps in the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal.

This content, however, was mixed in quality.

It needed specialized individuals to organize it.

Chen Mobai had long planned for this and intended to personally lead Jiang Zongheng to manage it.

In the process of compiling these writings, past historical records could be preserved while transmitting various inheritances and simultaneously promoting the advancement of the entire Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World, developing a more splendid culture and technology.

At the same time, Chen Mobai also intended, using the philosophy of the Immortal Gate as his main theme, to create a scripture that combines the simple cultivation knowledge of the Tianhe Realm, one that can be passed down through ages, regarded as a guiding principle by millions of future cultivators!

Establish virtue, establish merit, establish words!

Writing scriptures not only serves as a moral teaching but also enlightens the mind, and more so as the discourse of legacy!

This idea had been growing in Chen Mobai’s mind for a long time.

He felt that since coming to the Tianhe Realm, it was necessary to contribute something to this world.

Continuing the supreme knowledge of past saints, bringing eternal peace to generations, inheriting the wisdom of predecessors, and initiating future prosperity!

With peace now achieved, the time was right for establishing a scripture!

After seeing Ning Leshan off, Chen Mobai went to Loquat Valley.

“Master, why have you come?”

Jiang Zongheng had not yet entered seclusion and opened the formation to welcome him.

“I was worried you might rush forward upon hearing E Yun and others successfully formed their cores, so I came to check on you.”

He had high expectations for this disciple, as out of four, only Jiang Zongheng had the wisdom and insight to inherit his philosophy.

However, growing up in the Eastern Wilderness necessitated the clarification of certain concepts.

Authoring scriptures, if there are no heirs, is like a castle in the air.

“Thank you, Master, I am planning to prepare for Core Formation…”

Jiang Zongheng refined the Yi wood power of the green-skinned gourd; last year, he already reached Foundation Establishment Completion. After honing it expertly this year, he felt that his Essence, Qi, and Spirit had reached the most perfect realm.

Chen Mobai guided him once more and shared Core Formation insights from E Yun and Zhou Wangshen.

With more people achieving Core Formation, future disciples can build on the wisdom of their predecessors, making breakthroughs increasingly easier.

This is why knowledge needs to be passed down!

“After forming your Core, help me pen a scripture!”

Before leaving, Chen Mobai said these words, greatly boosting Jiang Zongheng’s confidence, as it indicated the master’s confidence in his ability to achieve Core Formation.

“Master, what kind of scripture?”

“I haven’t decided on a name yet; essentially, it’s a compilation of fundamental immortal cultivation knowledge, to help future generations avoid detours on this path.”

Chen Mobai shared his heartfelt thoughts without concealing them from his disciple.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zongheng deeply admired his master’s grand vision. He became more resolute in his desire to achieve Core Formation, as he eagerly wanted to help Chen Mobai write this scripture.

After leaving Loquat Valley, Chen Mobai visited Mount Tianpeng.

He discussed this matter with Qing Nu, who also lent her full support.

“Using the knowledge system of the Immortal Gate as the main theme, and the local heritage of the Tianhe Realm as branches, you can write a book of sages.”

“You’ll need to take the lead on the alchemy section.”

Chen Mobai, although knowledgeable about alchemy, is certainly not as skilled as Qing Nu, the genius. Moreover, he wanted to share part of this great merit with his Daoist couple.

“No problem.”

Qing Nu nodded in agreement with a smile.

After spending several days at Mount Tianpeng, Chen Mobai went to Northern Abyss City.

Now, it had fully transformed into the magnificent Immortal City he once planned, teeming with people and bustling with activity.

Upon stepping out from the medium transporting formation, the Five Elements Sect’s Foundation Establishment cultivator, who guarded this place, hurried over. He was formerly Guan Xiaolong of the Formation Division under the Divine Wood Sect, who successfully achieved Foundation Establishment during the second breakthrough, thanks to the resources of the Five Elements Sect.

Chen Mobai conversed with him without performing Void Walk, impulsively following the crowd of cultivators to board a flying boat heading to the center of the Immortal City.

Since the medium transporting formation was established here, and barring wartime periods, non-Five Elements Sect cultivators numbering in the thousands are transported daily. Because flying is forbidden below Core Formation level in Northern Abyss City, cultivators traveling between the main city and outskirts faced inconvenience. Yuan Chiye set up twelve flying boats that depart each hour on the dot.

The cost is one low-grade Spirit Stone for ten trips, which is not expensive.

You can buy them at shops outside the Five Elements Sect teleportation array, where you’ll receive ten special talisman papers with the Five Elements Sect’s Dharma Seal. Each time you board a flying boat, submit a paper.

However, for many who are short on funds, especially loose cultivators traveling from various parts of the Eastern Wilderness, even the minimum cost of one Spirit Stone is too expensive.

So, several savvy groups started offering ground transport using spirit beast caravans.

The pricing is flexible, involving fragmented Spirit Stones, herbs, elixirs, cultivation techniques, etc., depending mainly on a loose cultivator’s bargaining skills.

“Usually, in the last few cases, you can easily get a ride by offering an elixir or any item of value. Thanks to our Five Elements Sect’s rules, nobody dares to become rogue cultivators anymore, ensuring the loose cultivators are at ease—though it is slower.”

Guan Xiaolong, responsible for the medium transporting formation here, knows all about these issues, as many groups have negotiated deals through him.

This phenomenon also gave Chen Mobai insights into the lifestyle on the side of the Immortal Gate.

With the peaceful era initiated by the Five Elements Sect spreading across the Eastern Wilderness, a glimpse unfolds before Chen Mobai’s eyes, increasing his interest in the lives of the common people.

After alighting the flying boat and entering the main city, he felt like returning to the Immortal Gate.

Tall buildings constructed under his planning encircle the central North Abyss Mountain, reaching into the clouds and connecting with the sky. Along the streets are numerous shops, with an extensive range of spiritual herbs, Spirit Stones, elixirs, and legal treasures dazzling the eye.

Each cultivator busily navigates the city, some in groups chatting, others alone exploring various shop signs, presumably newcomers to Northern Abyss City, quickly coaxed inside by store clerks.

Upon leaving the central area, Chen Mobai visited a street designated for stalls, a fine tradition of the Tianhe Realm that he specially preserved in Northern Abyss City.

In several squares, there are arenas set up with restrictions, where cultivators can practice spells. There are even stages for alchemy and artifact refining—a place to showcase one’s skills for employment.

The current Northern Abyss City is an unprecedentedly thriving Immortal City in the Eastern Wilderness.

Under the safety guarantee from the Five Elements Sect, cultivators can even make friends sharing like-minded interests here.

Previously, when a stranger approached, the locals’ first thought would be: what does this person want from me?
