Chapter 2266: Chapter 1039: Connections at the Top

Jumang Academy.

Peach Blossom Sage reluctantly took out a Spirit Sealing Tube from her own domain and handed it to Chen Mobai: ”Pure Yang Master intends to use this Fifth Rank Water of Ten Thousand Transformations to nourish the Jade Phoenix Tree on Danxia Mountain?”

The inheritance of the four great academies of the Immortal Sect is remarkable; evidently, Peach Blossom Sage also knew about the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree and the Nirvana Great Dao. When Chen Mobai initially asked her to refine this Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, she had already thought of this.

”Indeed, that’s the plan, though I’m not sure if it will work.”

In fact, when Chen Mobai asked Peach Blossom Sage to refine the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, he wasn’t yet aware of the Nirvana Great Dao, but it turned out to be a stroke of luck. This Fifth Rank Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, after raising the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple to Fourth Rank Peak, might have some leftover, which could then potentially help the Jade Phoenix Tree advance.

Chen Mobai can clearly distinguish the importance between the two Spirit Plants.

The most important thing now is, of course, Divinity Transformation.

The Jade Phoenix Tree is related to the path after Divinity Transformation.

This Fifth Rank Water of Ten Thousand Transformations in hand must be prioritized for the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple.

”Pure Yang, there’s something I must remind you. When a Spirit Plant advances to Fifth Rank, the resulting disturbance in the earth veins and Spiritual Qi could provoke a backlash from the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation. If you notice the Jade Phoenix Tree showing signs of advancement, you must communicate this in advance with the two Patriarchs.”

Since Chen Mobai provided Pei Qingshuang with Foundation Establishment Resources and also helped upgrade the Qing Shuang Sword to a Fifth Rank, Peach Blossom Sage was increasingly fond of him.

Especially now, with White Light Ancestor gone and Shi Wanyu sitting in meditation, Chen Mobai has returned to being single. Although he still has a daughter, she possesses a Pure Yin Body and her future achievements will be at least Nascent Soul. Peach Blossom Sage’s thoughts of seeking a son-in-law started to rekindle.

Therefore, in interactions with Chen Mobai, she changed her usual lazy demeanor not only by helping to refine the Fifth Rank Water of Ten Thousand Transformations but also by offering proactive advice.

”Oh, what is the reason for this?”

Chen Mobai truly did not know about this aspect and immediately inquired for guidance from Peach Blossom Sage.

”The Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation of the Immortal Sect, the spiritual pivots for the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves, and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands all require corresponding cores to manage and direct the Spiritual Qi. Many of these use Spirit Plants as replacements, so our Jumang Academy also contributed to the formation on Earth Element Star at the time.”

”The Jade Phoenix Tree on Danxia Mountain is one such example. The Spiritual Qi of the entire Red Sandstone City connects to the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation through it, circulating and interlinking.”

”If it advances, it might be mistakenly perceived by the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation as a problem with the spiritual veins in the direction of Red Sandstone City. Should this trigger an opposing suppression by the formation, its advancement would certainly fail.”

”Now that Qian Xing Ancestor is in closed-door cultivation, his previous Fifth Rank Heavenly Calculation Bead, which governs the formation core, is in Qi Yuheng’s hands. With his talent, he is now likely a Fifth Rank Formation Master. You have a good relationship with him and can discuss how to handle this situation appropriately.”

Previously, due to lack of Spiritual Qi, the Immortal Sect generally had Spirit Plants absorbing Spiritual Qi as per standard routine, with most of it being transported through the Sky Curtain Ground Network to the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains to maintain the Sixth Rank spirit vein.

As a result, the high-ranking Spirit Plants in the Immortal Sect consumed less Spiritual Qi compared to Nascent Soul Cultivators because they primarily served as core conduits for circulating Spiritual Qi. The Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation only supplied them with enough energy to maintain their rank.

Of course, only Spirit Plants of Fourth and Fifth Rank were given such priority by the Immortal Sect.

Some special high-ranking Spirit Plants, like the Fifth Rank Vermillion Fruit Tree deep within the Treasure Trove, would have additional fire spiritual power provided by the Immortal Sect according to the energy required for fruit-bearing.

Within the Immortal Sect, occasionally some Spirit Plants below Fourth Rank would advance, while those below Third Rank would be managed by the local Forestry Administration. For Third Rank advancing to Fourth, an application to the Forestry Administration of Wangwu Cave Heaven was necessary, followed by reporting to the Xianwu Hall through them.

If Xianwu Hall disapproved, then the Spirit Plant would remain stuck at Third Rank Peak without any chance to advance.

If one had good connections and could get approvals from relevant departments in Xianwu Hall, a notice could enable the lifting of restrictions by the Sky Curtain Ground Network Management Bureau.

However, there’s never been an instance approved by Xianwu Hall for a Fourth Rank Spirit Plant to advance to Fifth Rank.

Peach Blossom Sage is a typical example.

She was enlightened with a spiritual nature long ago, but due to continual disapproval from Xianwu Hall, she couldn’t lift the restrictions from the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation on her main body to advance to Fifth Rank.

Subsequently, she had no choice but to give up on advancing her main body Spirit Plant, eventually undergoing a Transformation herself.

This was the solution Jumang Academy diligently secured for her over the years.

Her Spirit Plant main body wouldn’t be promoted using the Immortal Sect’s resources, but if she pursued the Mystic Gate Path and achieved Primordial Spirit, she could be considered to have broken her own shackles.

It’s just unfortunate that after a thousand years of effort following Transformation, Peach Blossom Sage remains stuck at the threshold of Divinity Transformation, with no clear path forward.

Though she appears free and unrestrained to outsiders, the frustration of being unable to progress leaves a knot in her heart.

Her reminder to Chen Mobai harbors an additional intention: if the Jade Phoenix Tree can advance to Fifth Rank, she may be able to take advantage of the situation to apply for her main body’s advancement.
