I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1106: Chapter 608: Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion_2 Chapter 1106: Chapter 608: Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion_2 Sheng Zhaoxi generously said that within the entire Eastern Wilderness, it was only with her intervention that the two turtle shells could be refined into Rank-2 peak defensive magic artifacts.

It was this time she owed Chen Mobai a life debt, which is why she took the initiative to speak up; otherwise, her stand as the number one artifact refiner in the Eastern Wilderness was also quite high. Even if common folk obtained complete materials like turtle shells and sought her services, she might not agree to help.

“Having you refine it would be a terrible waste!”

But this thought surfaced in Chen Mobai’s mind, and he immediately shook his head to refuse.

Nevertheless, he was still full of emotional intelligence, thinking of a very good excuse.

“Sister Sheng, you also suffered severe damage to your vital energy in the battle against the demonic beasts. How could I allow you to expend more energy refining magic artifacts? I plan to boil these turtle shells into a medicinal soup to replenish the body of my body refining apprentice.”

Turtle shells are indeed an exceptional medicinal ingredient; whether boiled into medicinal powder or steeped in liquor, both can replenish essence blood and strengthen the heart and kidneys.

Turtle shells of Rank-3 are a treasure that body refining cultivators dream of obtaining.

However, many who possess such items usually refine them into magic artifacts because, after all, once you consume them as medicine, they are gone.

“That disciple who cultivated the Ninefold Law Body? That is indeed a good idea. However, these turtle shells are abundant in elemental energy and mixed with demonic power; you must be careful to dilute them when boiling.”

Previously, when Chen Mobai went to rescue Nu Jiang, Sheng Zhaoxi, who had taken charge of the entire battlefield, naturally noticed Zhuo Ming, whose unique painting style was noteworthy. She couldn’t stop singing her praises, thinking it befitting of Junior Brother Chen’s successor—cold in killing intent, merciless in execution!

“Thank you for the reminder, Sister.”

As the two conversed, Nu Jiang finally put down the array plate that was floating in front of him.

He called over his disciple Ji Guanhai, informing him of the damaged parts of the large formation detected through the array plate’s operation, and instructed him to lead his disciples to repair them one by one.

After Ji Guanhai left, Nu Jiang sighed deeply, took out some materials from his storage bag, and repaired a missing corner of the array plate in his hand.

“The seals outside the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion will probably completely fail in at most sixty years; when that happens, it will be the time of Wind Rain Hamlet’s demise.”

The very center of Yun Meng Ze was the cave dwelling of the Rank-5 Yellow Dragon from the past.

However, following the ascendance of True Lord Yuan, the cave dwelling disappeared without a trace, and no one could find the entrance to get in.

It was only until a few hundred years ago, when the Poisonous Dragon flew out of the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, rampaged Yun Meng Ze with the might of a Rank-4, gathered myriad water demons, and stirred up massive waves, assaulting the shores on both sides.

At that time, there were no Nascent Soul cultivators in either the East Barbarians or the Dongwu domain. Faced with a Rank-4 demonic beast, they could only retreat step by step, allowing it to slaughter at will.

Although there were Nascent Soul cultivators in the East Barbarians, they were too lazy to come over and play the role of heavenly avengers, to save the common people.

It wasn’t until Sun Huangwu formed his Golden Core in the Dongwu domain that the Poisonous Dragon found an opponent.

However, the Poisonous Dragon had inherited the legacy of the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion; it had strong bloodlines and startling divine skills. After Sun Huangwu’s Core Formation, they dueled seven times, and he was outmatched in each one.

To protect the Eastern Wu Territory, the Sun family made use of the external threat of the Poisonous Dragon to incorporate all the immortal cultivation clans into their alliance. Then, along the shore, they arranged an immense Fourth Grade Superior large formation. With Sun Huangwu personally overseeing it, they finally managed to repel the Poisonous Dragon, ensuring it could not set foot in the Eastern Wu Territory.

More than a hundred years after Sun Huangwu’s Core Formation, Ancestor Hunyuan returned from his ascendance journey in the East Land.

Together with Baiwu Ancestor from the East Barbarians, these three cultivators joined forces to try to slay the Poisonous Dragon, eradicate the water demons of Yun Meng Ze, and remove this great peril.

The Poisonous Dragon, however, was extraordinary in strength, and also had two powerful legal treasures. It managed to form a battle formation with its followers and flee back to the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, even under pursuit by three armies led by Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Of course, Ancestor Hunyuan and the others wanted to pursue and kill it inside.

Unfortunately, the cave dwelling left by the ascendant demonic beast contained a natural killing formation. Baiwu Ancestor’s fellow disciple, Grey Feather Daoist, died within it. If the three Nascent Soul cultivators didn’t retreat promptly, they likely would have been trapped inside as well.

After escaping, the three great Nascent Soul Cultivators, to prevent the Poisonous Dragon from wreaking havoc again, joined hands to set up a massive seal outside the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion.

Equivalent to sealing the door, this cave dwelling not only became a sanctuary for the Poisonous Dragon but also its prison.

However, the power of Nascent Soul Cultivators can’t remain forever.

With the passing away in meditation of Sun Huangwu and Ancestor Hunyuan, the power of the seal, lacking replenishment, couldn’t maintain its integrity after nearly a hundred years, and fissures appeared.

This fissure was tiny, unable to let a Rank-4 being like the Poisonous Dragon squeeze through, but it could allow Rank-1 and Rank-2 Demonic beasts to escape.

Some weaker Rank-3 Demonic beasts were also forcefully sent out by the Poisonous Dragon.

This was the conclusion reached by observers at Nu Jiang in recent years.

“Unfortunately, it was still discovered too late. The mysterious Rank-3 Demonic beast that wreaked havoc in Yun Meng Ze over thirty years ago should be the first Rank-3 that came out of the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion. We thought it was a native Demonic beast of Yun Meng Ze that had advanced…”

Nu Jiang sighed as he spoke, and Chen Mobai was reminded of his own arrival at Yun Meng Ze, when Green Light Island was destroyed due to a mysterious Rank-3 Demonic beast breaking the Formation.

Later, Chen Mobai also asked Fu Zongjue about it, that time Fu and Mo Douguang chased the beast but let it escape into the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion.

Because they thought it was a newly advanced Demonic beast from within Yun Meng Ze, and after confirming that it had entered the sealed area and would not reappear, they relaxed their vigilance, believing that they had rooted out the trouble.

But in recent years, as more and more Rank-3 Demonic beasts began appearing in Dongwu territory, Nu Jiang also noticed something was amiss.

After numerous verifications, it was finally confirmed that a gap had appeared in the seal formed by the three Nascent Soul Cultivators around the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, and the Demonic beasts under the Poisonous Dragon’s command were surging out one after another.

It seemed that because Sun Huangwu died relatively early, the seals at the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion’s exit facing Dongwu broke more quickly, resulting in a greater outflow of Demonic beasts.

On the side of Wind Rain Hamlet, Ancestor Hunyuan passed away several decades later, so the seals were still relatively intact, with few Demonic beasts squeezing through.

It is also thanks to Dongwu that they withstood the pressure and their defensive lines did not collapse under the onslaught of Demonic beasts.

Otherwise, Wind Rain Hamlet might have already fallen.

After all, the number of Golden Core Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness is actually less than that in Dongwu.

Especially since Ji Zhenshi and Librarian Nan were cut down, the situation where the previous seven sects harmoniously co-developed Yun Meng Ze completely collapsed, and only the Five Elements Sect and Divine Wood Sect were left to shoulder the responsibility!

“We will hold out for as long as possible. If Wind Rain Hamlet fails, Dongwu will have to bear pressure from both sides, which will be even tougher,” Sheng Zhaoxi said with a helpless expression on her face.

There are so few Golden Core Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness, Zhou Ye hardly leaves Hunyuan Immortal City, and in recent years, Divine Wood Sect has been on a killing spree, causing Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace to band together for warmth. Back then, we really didn’t expect the seals of Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion to fail so quickly, putting all the pressure on her and Nu Jiang.

Thankfully, Divine Wood Sect still cared about ties to the same sect, or perhaps they understood the grave consequences should Wind Rain Hamlet fall. Over the years, they have sent many Foundation Establishment and True Disciples to help.

This time, faced with the Rank-3 Demonic beasts’ siege, Sect Leader Chen Mobai personally led a team, helping to stabilize the situation.

“Very soon, Brother Fu will bring disciples from our sword training and spirit beast departments. Brother Mo is in closed-door cultivation, but four of the twelve sword wielders have already set out with their own disciples,”

Chen Mobai shared the news he knew, and this allowed Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi to breathe a sigh of relief.

“It’s just a pity that after our master passed away, the favors from Baiwu Ancestor faded. If he was willing to come and reinforce the seal, Dongwu and the Eastern Wilderness would not have to bear such enormous pressure,”

Sheng Zhaoxi mentioned another private matter, having once gone to the Sun Bathing Sea to request Baiwu Ancestor’s presence in Yun Meng Ze in hopes that he would personally come. However, she was flatly rejected.

“We still need our own Nascent Soul Cultivator, whether it’s Dongwu or the Eastern Wilderness. Just one would suffice,”

Nu Jiang let out a sigh. Ever since his Core Formation, he had been stationed at the great formation of Wind Rain Hamlet, deeply longing for release.

Upon hearing his words, Chen Mobai felt an irresistible urge rising within him.
