I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 628: Chapter 401 Sowing Seeds_1

Three days later, Meng Hong arrived with Mu Yuan.

“The two Ancestors highly admire your idea. However, if we proceed exactly according to your plan, the changes will be substantial, which might potentially trigger another war in our sect. Therefore, they resolve not to disturb the Mountain Protection Array,” Meng Hong explained.

Chen Mobai intended to cultivate the entire southern side of the Giant Tree Ridge. This would inevitably cause changes in the earth’s veins, leading to part of the Array of Ten Thousand Woods, which had been stable for several decades, to fail.

Even if the two Ancestors held a high opinion of Chen Mobai, they would not take such a risk at this critical juncture.

After all, many enemies had emerged when Meng Hong was in the Core Formation stage.

At this crucial time, stability was their priority.

“This matter has a long-term benefit. The sooner, the better.”

However, Chen Mobai sighed, understanding the concerns of the two Ancestors.

After all, not long ago, Ji Zhenshi and Nan came to pressure them, and there were two Golden Core Ghost Cultivators coveting them in the dark. If he were in the Ancestors’ shoes, he would make the same choice.

“That’s what I said too. So, I have negotiated on your behalf.”

While speaking, Meng Hong took out the map of the Giant Tree Ridge and circled an area with Xiao Nanshan at the center.

“There are about 500 acres of spiritual land here, but they are separated by four Spirit Mountains,” Meng Hong explained.

“I have discussed with the four department heads of the formation, and they agree to first use this area as a test field. The formation department will slightly modify the Mountain Protection Array here. The spirit plant department will supply you with the necessary crop seeds, and the spirit beast department will take away the spirit beasts cultivated here.”

“If you can successfully cultivate this area as a whole, once the outside powers of the sect stabilize in the future, we can then extend your method to the entire southern side of the Giant Tree Ridge, or even the whole sect.”

Meng Hong’s strenuous efforts over these three days had paid off. With the two Ancestors not explicitly opposing him, he pulled some strings within the formation departments, securing the rights to use the 500 acres of spiritual land for Chen Mobai.

“Thank you, Elder Meng.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately thanked Meng Hong.

The central plains of the sect, its core medicinal field, only had about 1700 acres. Although much of Chen Mobai’s 500 acres were still uncultivated wastelands, having the right to use so much spiritual land was already quite remarkable.

“Little Chen, you don’t need to work this hard. Given your talent, if you diligently cultivate like Hong He, reaching the Core Formation stage early would be a great help to the sect,” Elder Meng advised sincerely.

Meng Hong had watched Chen Mobai grow from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment, and then receiving the legacy of the Longevity Doctrine. He believed that Chen was a true genius who could surpass him and become a Golden Core cultivators.

Although he supported Chen Mobai’s idea of cultivating for the future development of the sect, he was hesitant to let it impede Chen’s opportunity to rise even further.

In the Eastern Wilderness, it was rare to find someone like Chen Mobai who would forsake their personal cultivation time for the sect’s welfare.

“Don’t worry, Elder Meng. Even if I spend every day farming and making puppets, no one in the sect will be able to catch up to my cultivation speed.”

Chen Mobai spoke those words with self-assured confidence.

At this, Meng Hong didn’t know how to persuade him otherwise.

“If you need anything in the future, feel free to find me. If you need extra hands, I’ll send Mu Yuan to help you.”

In the end, Meng Hong could only leave Chen Mobai with these words and the services of Mu Yuan.

Meng Hong currently held no particular responsibilities within the sect. The only ones he could give orders to were his disciples. With E Yun absent, only Mu Yuan remained.

“Just take this time to rest, Elder Meng. You have been immensely helpful,” replied Chen Mobai graciously, sending off Meng Hong with the document granting the use of 500 acres of spiritual land.

In the subsequent time, his real body was instructing Li Yixian and the others to make agricultural puppets in the Divine Wood City. Meanwhile, his Clone with the Unseen Puppet was surveying the newly obtained four Spirit Mountains and 500 acres of spiritual lands with Zhuo Ming.

Since these were all near Xiao Nanshan, it was relatively easy for the master and disciple to explore and contrast with the survey.

During this time, the cultivators from the formation department visited to discuss with Chen Mobai about changing the earth’s vein formation to be dependent on the four Spirit Mountains.

If they wanted to develop a spirit field, they would need to disperse the accumulated Spirit Vein Qi to distribute evenly across every inch of land. This would inevitably weaken or even nullify the formations relying on the spirit vein.

“Are there any formations that use Spirit Fields as array flags?”

Thinking of his future plan of cultivating the entire Giant Tree Ridge into a Spirit Field, which would mean the core Array of Ten Thousand Woods of the Divine Wood Sect would cease to function, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but ask the cultivator from the spirit vein department this question.

“For that, we need a master of formations to come and help redesign it. The Array of Ten Thousand Woods of our Divine Wood Sect was arranged with the help of Master Jie from Kong Sang Valley.”

The Array of Ten Thousand Woods is actually an upgraded version of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation. It is a combination of multiple Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formations, centered around three Rank-4 Everlife Woods, reconstituting into a giant Rank-4 formation.

The Divine Wood Sect does not have a Rank-4 Array Master. It was Zhou, the old Ancestor, who paid a hefty price to request someone from the Eastern Yi Territory to arrange the Mountain Protection Array.

“I’m afraid this will trouble Brother Duan.”

The person leading the formation department was called Duan Shaojiu, a veteran cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage. Even though his cultivation level was low, he was one of the four Rank-3 Array Masters in the sect.
