I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1280: Chapter 704: The Secret of the Family Division Chapter 1280: Chapter 704: The Secret of the Family Division “Junior Brother Chen, who do you plan to let use the three Five Elements Spiritual Fruits for Core Formation?”

Within the Hunyuan Immortal City, Zhou Ye, who had just emerged from the secret realm in good spirits, asked Chen Mobai.

“I haven’t decided yet, I’ll see which of the junior disciples are suitable when the time comes.”

Chen Mobai, however, did not directly answer the question.

“Junior brother, there’s something I’ve been suppressing in my heart for a long time. I didn’t want to mention it, but after spending time with you these past days, I’ve come to realize that you are a responsible person with a sense of duty. Now that the Five Elements Meridians are in your hands, I should let you know about it.”

Zhou Ye suddenly spoke with a heavy tone, causing Chen Mobai to be slightly surprised and his expression to become serious.

“Is it about the First Origin Dao Palace?”

According to Chen Mobai’s understanding, Zhou Ye had received Ancestor Hunyuan’s heritage, so he must know a bit about the matters regarding this Eastern Earth Holy Land, and what he was about to discuss might be related to it.

“What does Junior Brother Chen think about Chun Yusu, the Sect Leader of the Earth Vein?”

But Zhou Ye shook his head, then asked a question that seemed baffling to Chen Mobai.

“I haven’t had much contact with him, but I’ve heard that Chun Yusu is a very capable person.”

Chen Mobai spoke honestly; before him, Chun Yusu was acclaimed as the number one Sect Leader in the Eastern Wilderness, having achieved Foundation Establishment Completion quite early, making the likes of Meng Hong from the Divine Wood Sect very wary of him.

Now that the Five Elements Meridians were unified once again, Chun Yusu was one of his people. Chen Mobai had considered, after his “Nascent Soul Formation,” to open up the exchange for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill to the other four veins, and this person would likely be the most probable Core Formation candidate.

“He came from the Day Bathing Sea Sect, becoming my disciple in order to have me transmit the Primordial Dao Fruit to him, which he intended to take back to Baiwu Ancestor.”

Zhou Ye said calmly, revealing a piece of information that left Chen Mobai’s face in shock.

“Isn’t Baiwu Ancestor a good friend of the Primordial Ancestral Master?”

Chen Mobai’s remark made Zhou Ye coldly laugh out loud, rising to his feet and looking in the direction of the East Barbarians with fists clenched tight.

“Within the Tianhe Realm, where is there such a thing as true best friends? When the master was alive and had the upper hand, Baiwu Ancestor took a beating and acknowledged the master as the big brother. As soon as the master died, he wanted to wipe us out.”

“Do you think that during the initial separation, it was only the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace pushing from behind? In reality, Baiwu Ancestor also sent Chun Yusu to deliver a message to me, saying that if I handed over the Primordial Dao Fruit, he would help me suppress the Wood Vein and Metal Vein.”

“Xuan Xiao Dao Palace wants the entire Eastern Wilderness, while Baiwu Ancestor wishes to obtain the master’s One Yuan Heritage using the pressure from Xuan Xiao Dao Palace.”

After listening to Zhou Ye’s words, Chen Mobai fell into deep thought.

No wonder Baiwu Ancestor, well-known as Ancestor Hunyuan’s good friend, had kept silent about the Five Elements Sect’s internal division, and even later on when the seal of the Poisonous Dragon in Yun Meng Ze became problematic, he ignored it.

Chen Mobai originally thought that Baiwu Ancestor did not want to get involved, but now it seemed that he was probably waiting intentionally for the Poisonous Dragon to appear.

“With such an undercover agent, Brother Zhou, why do you still keep him around? Do you want me to take action and deal with him for you?”

If it were any other time, Chen Mobai would definitely still be wary of Baiwu Ancestor, but now that Zhou Shengqing had achieved Nascent Soul Formation, with the Five Elements Meridians seated firmly in the Eastern Wilderness, they had the ability to hold their ground even against a Nascent Soul Major Faction.

“Chun Yusu is indeed competent, and moreover, Hunyuan Immortal City has been able to obtain many resources not available in the Eastern Wilderness through him, from within Dongyi’s Golden Crow Immortal City.”

Zhou Ye spoke frankly, and after hearing it, Chen Mobai suddenly realized.

No wonder their Divine Wood Sect’s attempts to acquire resources from the Golden Crow Immortal City were always unsuccessful. He had originally thought it was due to Baiwu Ancestor’s dissatisfaction with Zhou Shengqing over the division, but now it seemed they had been deliberately suppressing their Wood Vein to benefit Zhou Ye.

“Brother Zhou, you prevented the Primordial Dao Fruit from being leaked to the Day Bathing Sea and preserved our Five Elements Meridians’ supreme heritage, showing your respect for our master’s teachings. One day, when you meet the Primordial Ancestral Master in the afterlife, you can stand proud and tall.”

Chen Mobai sincerely complimented him. Honestly, if he had been in Zhou Ye’s shoes back then, with the internal divide of the Five Elements Meridians and external threats like Xuan Xiao Dao Palace and Day Bathing Sea Sect looming, he might not have been able to protect the Primordial Dao Fruit himself.

In his mind, if he could exchange a cultivation technique for strong allies to quell internal strife, he would not hesitate.

Especially coming from an Immortal Gate, he did not value inheritances as highly as those from the Tianhe Realm did.

And he did not believe that Baiwu Ancestor could successfully cultivate it, even if he obtained the Primordial Dao Fruit.

“I also considered submitting entirely to the Day Bathing Sea Sect; after all, aside from Baiwu Ancestor’s willingness to help me settle internal strife, he had other enticing offers, such as Baby-forming Spiritual Things.”

“But upon further thought, if I were to do so, my brothers Nu Jiang and Sheng Shijie would surely not stand by me; even if we managed to quell the internal unrest, I would probably end up all alone.

“After all, our master was as kind as a mountain to me; although my bonds with my fellow brothers and sisters aren’t deep, I still wouldn’t want to see them die at the hands of Baiwu Ancestor, so in the end, I did not agree.”

“Junior brother, you might not be aware, but before the division, Baiwu Ancestor personally came to this Hunyuan Immortal City. Guided by Chun Yusu, he effortlessly came before me. Had it not been for the fear of the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder, the Five Elements Meridians would probably already be a subsidiary to the Day Bathing Sea Sect by now.”

This revelation caused Chen Mobai’s expression to turn even more shocked.
