I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 664: Chapter 412: Turning over (10k)_1

After leaving the hospital, Chen Mobai returned to the Daoist Academy.

Zhongli Tianyu had matured a lot. He stayed with the student council last year without going back home, and handled many affairs very capably in Chen Mobai’s stead.

He is a true genius; there are only things he does not want to do, there’s nothing he cannot do.

After visiting the student council, Chen Mobai naturally went to greet Che Yucheng.

Beyond expressing his respect for his teacher, his main aim was to inquire about the progress of the Purple Electric Sword issue.

“Shan-Hai College has capable people. They actually made the Purple Electric Sword a condition for recruiting new students. They announced that the students enrolling this year will have a chance to obtain this Rank-4 sword artifact,” Che Yucheng admired when discussing the matter.

...
Because the Purple Electric Sword was originally destined to be given away, Shan-Hai College used this sword artifact to its fullest. This year, the new students’ resources of Shan-Hai College were ranked first among the Ten Great Academies, even far ahead of others.

The talented individuals who failed to make it into the top four Daoist Academies have basically listed Shan-Hai College as their first choice.

“Qi Practitioners probably won’t be favored by the Purple Electric Sword,” Chen Mobai said aloud after hearing this, but deep down he was slightly worried in case some peerless Sword Cultivation Genius emerged out of nowhere.

“It’s not necessarily the case. But the principle and several senior council members had a verbal agreement that even if the Purple Electric Sword chooses its master ahead of time, you and several others will be allowed to try it out last,” Che Yucheng explained, saying that Chen Mobai and several other Core Formation cultivators related to the ownership of the Purple Electric Sword were guaranteed to be in the final round.

If the Purple Electric Sword still chose an outsider after comparing, then they would follow the rules of the Immortal Sect; nobody could complain.

Hearing this, Chen Mobai felt slightly relieved.

After all, over the years his spiritual root talent has improved to the level of a genius. The value of his fire spiritual roots was just a digit away from becoming a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Moreover, he also possesses the Rank-3 Perfect Yi Wood Divine Thunder, which indeed goes well with the two main attributes of the Purple Electric Sword.

After leaving Che Yucheng’s, Chen Mobai returned to his wooden house.

He used the Turtle Treasure to teleport to Xiao Nanshan and returned the upgraded Five Elements Umbrella and armor to his two disciples.

“Thank you, master.”

Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan, both felt the powerful change in the magic artifacts, and their faces lit up with joy.

“Recently, there have been no major events in our sect, right?”

“There has been occasional friction with cultivators from Shake Mountain in Lei Nation. The sect leader sent quite a few of the Foundation Establishment elders to assist Uncle Zhou. This might trigger a major conflict between our sects again,” Luo Yixuan discussed a recent, hot topic. Given that Meng Hong failed to form his core lasy year – in part due to Ji Zhenshi exposing his hidden power – it’s certain these elders hold a grudge.

Considering the customs of the Eastern Wilderness, another conflict is likely.

But this time, if they formally arrange for a battle, it might not be as easy as catching Ji Zhenshi off-guard that one time.

The Divine Wood Sect has enemies all over Eastern Wilderness, with Golden Cliff as its only ally.

If they really go to war with Shake Mountain again, not only do they have to consider Ji Zhenshi and South Dao Master, but also the Five Elements Sect and the elusive Netherworld Path Ghost Cultivators.

Even Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace, which have long remained neutral, would likely kick the Divine Wood Sect while it’s down if they notice it’s waning.

If they go to war, Chen Mobai believes that their best strategy is to fight swiftly.

However, the sect’s strategy ultimately depends on the two elder’s will, and all Chen Mobai can do is be prepared for war.

Being recognised as the Divine Wood Sect’s top sword cultivator, second only to the two seniors in battle power, and having become a well-known figure in Eastern Wilderness, he certainly couldn’t stay at the sect to defend it.

Once the war starts, with the Sect Leader Chu Zuoshu unable to go into action, Chen Mobai would have to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

He might even have to lead the entire battlefront directly.

After all, here in Eastern Wilderness, seniority doesn’t matter; only strength does.

Thinking of this, Chen Mobai instructed Luo Yixuan to be ready for war at all times. Of the three disciples, she is the most quick-witted and gives Chen Mobai the most peace of mind.

If she could get some practical experience on the battlefront between the two sects, it would be very helpful for her last step of forming a foundation, spirit sense leaving the body.

Moreover, Chen Mobai being present would guarantee her safety.

“Master, there’s also another issue. There are signs of a demonic beast wave at Yunmeng Great Marsh again. Elder Fu took a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Penalty Evil Hall to suppress it,” Luo Yixuan added.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but recall his experience at Yunmeng Great Marsh.

If he hadn’t had the Turtle Treasure to transport him, he would have likely died on Green Light Island.

As the number one holy land in the Eastern Wilderness, Yunmeng Great Marsh is the Holy Land of countless cultivators, and the burial place for many Loose Cultivators.

“There is a mysterious ruin discovered within the borders of Snow Country; there seem to be Devil Cultivators active in Mist Country, lots of loose cultivators have died horribly, their bodies drained of all essence; and Back to Sky Valley is about to refine a Rank-4 elixir and is still short of three types of thousand-year-old medicinal ingredients, they are currently collecting from the whole Eastern Wilderness…”

Luo Yixuan talked about the major events that happened in different parts of the Eastern Wilderness recently, and Chen Mobai admired her attention to detail.

However, for the Divine Wood Sect, what they probably care about the most is the war with Shake Mountain.

Chen Mobai stayed in Xiao Nanshan for two days.

During this time, he also took Luo Yixuan to visit Divine Wood City, where they paid their respects to the sect leader Chu Zuoshu and a series of other Foundation Establishment elders in the sect, and brought them some newly brewed Spiritual Wine.
