I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 2082: Chapter 989

”Senior Brother Zhou, you got one thing wrong.”

Chen Mobai listened to Zhou Ye’s words, but responded with an unchanged expression.

”The only place the Five Elements Sect might be unable to hold is the land of East Wu. In the Eastern Wasteland, even if Divinity Transformation True Spirits come, we stand as firm as a mountain!”

Such intense confidence caused Zhou Ye and Mo Douguang’s expressions to shift slightly.

”I was overthinking it.”

Zhou Ye spoke apologetically.

”No worries, I still need you to sit and hold the fort for me to be at ease.”

Chen Mobai smiled reassuringly, speaking the truth. Although the Sky Curtain Ground Network he set up in the Eastern Wilderness is powerful, without a formidable cultivator to oversee it, it cannot exert its fullest effect.

”I shall not fail the responsibility entrusted by Sect Leader Junior Brother!”

Zhou Ye responded with a serious face.

”Master, you called for me.”

At this time, Zhuo Ming, having received the summons, also walked into the tent. After recovering from her injuries, she returned to the frontline in East Wu.

Chen Mobai: ”There might be a great war in the Eastern Wilderness. Go to Northern Abyss City and take charge of the Direct and Inverse Nine Palaces Formation...”

In the Five Elements Sect, apart from Chen Mobai, Zhuo Ming’s realm in formations is the highest. When he needs to oversee the overall situation at the frontline in East Wu, Zhuo Ming has to bear the hardship.

”Yes, Master!”

Zhuo Ming obediently nodded her head.

”Take half of the Formation Division disciples with you. Choose more elites; with me here, a slightly inferior level of array masters can be compensated for...”

Looking at the disciple in front of him, who had shed her gentleness on the battlefield, with a firm gaze and sharp aura, Chen Mobai felt a slight heartache.

If possible, he hoped this disciple could spend her life farming and nurturing spirit plants.

Unfortunately, living in the Tianhe Realm, one has no choice but to compete.

”Thank you, Master. Over the years, Jin Ling’er has been following Master Nephew Duan Shuyu, learning the art of formation and deployment well. It’s better to let her go with me, as Northern Abyss City lacks a competent commander.”

Zhuo Ming asked Chen Mobai for only one person. When she came to the battlefield after recovering, Qing Nu had her bring Jin Ling’er for training. Now that she was returning, she decided to take Jin Ling’er back with her.

”Very well.”

Chen Mobai nodded.

”Let Zhi Ling stay. She has broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment and has just started integrating the Red Flame Sword Scripture. Staying by the Master’s side, she can receive better guidance.”

When Zhuo Ming came over earlier, besides Jin Ling’er, she also brought her disciple Han Zhiling with her.

Because the great war started, the Five Elements Sect would mobilize all disciples to take turns going to the frontline.

As the leader, Chen Mobai naturally had to lead by example, and the Xiao Nanshan lineage couldn’t avoid it.

However, due to the war starting while Han Zhiling was in seclusion breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, she was left in the Eastern Wilderness.

After she successfully broke through and came out of seclusion, she was deployed to the East Wu battlefield as per sect arrangements.

After Han Zhiling’s cultivation level breakthrough, Chen Mobai, through Zhuo Ming, imparted his revised and refined Red Flame Sword Scripture, but Zhuo Ming herself was not very adept with the fire attribute, so she couldn’t provide much guidance.

Hence, it was crucial for Han Zhiling, during the key moments of cultivation technique transformation, to stay by Master Chen Mobai’s side to avoid going astray.

To this, Chen Mobai naturally nodded.

In the Xiao Nanshan lineage, all second-generation disciples have reached Core Formation. Among the third generation, Han Zhiling has the highest talent. Over the years, by adhering to guidance and guarding Mount Tianpeng to look after that Five-Cornered Ancient Maple, she has solidified her foundation with high hopes for Core Formation.

Once she attains Core Formation, she would rightfully become the eldest disciple of the third generation within the Xiao Nanshan lineage.

Thinking of this, Chen Mobai felt a sense of fulfillment in seamless succession.

He has a particular fondness for teaching and nurturing, and witnessing the growth of the younger disciples, his Divine Sense, which had somewhat stagnated due to the inoperability of the Great Dao Tree, suddenly grew a bit, nearly reaching the eighth layer of Nascent Soul.

After sending off Zhou Ye, Zhuo Ming, and the others, Chen Mobai immediately returned to the mountain top of Jin Feng Slope, in the tent with the densest Spiritual Energy, sitting cross-legged on a meditation mat.

He operated the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Chart, using inner observation to examine this Divine Consciousness Technique, discovering that the progress bar originally stuck at the Law of the Five Tones suddenly leaped forward.

Upon entering the seventh layer, the Nine Virtues Introspection, the progress was already at 13%.

This is the last layer of the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Chart, requiring the unity of knowledge and action to cultivate.

The so-called Nine Virtues are: Dù, Mò, Míng, Lèi, Cháng, Jūn, Shùn, Bǐ, Wén.

The heart should be able to control righteousness, termed Dù; virtue in proper harmony termed Mò; illuminating all four directions termed Míng; exerting diligence without selfishness termed Lèi; teaching tirelessly termed Cháng; proper celebration and enforcement termed Jūn; flexible compassion throughout termed Shùn; choosing and following goodness termed Bǐ; structuring heaven and earth termed Wén.

The cultivator’s realm should be complemented by corresponding virtues, establishing oneself, cultivating the Dao, and uniting hearts in virtue.

Heart’s ability to control righteousness, termed Dù: represents justice and righteousness, establishing rules, and adhering to them.

Virtue in proper harmony, termed Mò: signifies upright morality, aligning with the heavenly Dao and human hearts, gaining the support of all beings.

Illuminating all four directions, termed Míng: akin to the radiance of the sun and moon, spreading justice and regulations worldwide, leaving nothing untouched, achieving universal harmony.

Exerting diligence without selfishness, termed Lèi: involves diligent governance, devoid of selfish intentions, catering to the needs of all groups.

Teaching tirelessly termed Cháng: refers to education, awakening spiritual wisdom, guiding all beings towards enlightenment.

Proper celebration and enforcement termed Jūn: implementing rewards and penalties judiciously, maintaining authority, is the means of thunder.

Flexible compassion throughout termed Shùn: signifies winning over people with compassion and mildness.

Choosing and following goodness termed Bǐ: encourages avoiding obstinacy, being open to adopting good strategies, uniting collective wisdom.
