I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1702: Chapter 867 People from the Demon Slaying Sect Arrive (19000 Monthly Votes Addition)

“Don’t worry, Junior Brother; once Master comes out of seclusion, I’ll take you to meet him right away.”

Yuji Hermit still thought Hong He was concerned about the Demonic Dao Dafa he had promised before, and earnestly spoke up.

“Then at that time, I’ll have to trouble Senior Sister to put in a good word for me in front of Master.”

Hong He could only nod helplessly, and then the two parted ways.

But little did they know, their conversation on the water surface was completely reflected in Qing Nu’s Water Mirror Reflection.

Chen Mobai was watching the round light of the water mirror from the side, using the lip-reading skill from the Guidance Book to decipher their dialogue.

“Do you know this person?”

Qing Nu, seeing Chen Mobai focusing on Hong He, couldn’t help but ask.

“He was formerly a disciple of the Five Elements Sect, but unfortunately, he strayed from the righteous path…”

Chen Mobai briefly explained Hong He’s background, and Qing Nu also showed a face full of regret upon hearing it.

Chen Mobai: “You go catch that female devil cultivator; I’ll go meet him.”

Qing Nu nodded and executed her Water Escape, pursuing Yuji Hermit.

Chen Mobai, meanwhile, flashed silver light in place and directly Void Walked to appear in front of Hong He, who was flying above Yun Meng Ze towards Dongwu.

“Greetings, Sect… Immortal Venerate Chen!”

Hong He, upon seeing Chen Mobai, instinctively wanted to call out Sect Leader, but quickly remembered the latter’s statement that he was no longer a disciple of the Five Elements Sect, and could only change his wording with gloom.

“This time, because of your warning, the Five Elements Sect and the Eastern Wilderness avoided a great calamity, which can be considered as commendable merit.”

Chen Mobai nodded to Hong He, mentioning Zhu Jun’s attempted actions and acknowledged his contribution.

“Though I took the wrong path, I will never forget the sect’s guidance.”

Hearing this, Hong He was also very pleased, though Yuji Hermit hadn’t told him about the matter of unsealing the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, he had guessed most of it during the process.

He was also very fortunate that Chen Mobai understood his hints and resolved the matter by following the clues.

“Here is a Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, during my battle with a demonic beast in Yun Meng Ze, it accidentally fell and you picked it up.”

Chen Mobai has always been clear in rewards and punishments; Hong He’s warning prevented the emergence of the Poisonous Dragon, and he felt he should reward him with a Water Primordial Golden Core Pill.

He still had six of these on him.

However, considering the presence of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, Chen Mobai still wanted to find an excuse.

“Indeed. I picked up this elixir!”

Hong He, being a clever person, quickly understood Chen Mobai’s meaning.

Chen Mobai slightly nodded upon hearing this, then released the jade vial containing the Water Primordial Golden Core Pill from his hand.

The jade vial fell toward the water surface, and Hong He immediately flew over to catch it.

With a face full of joy, he held the elixir and was about to thank Chen Mobai, only to discover there was no one in mid-air anymore.

Hong He, with a solemn expression, stood on the water surface and paid respects to the direction of the Eastern Wilderness.

…

Yuji Hermit was dumbfounded when Qing Nu caught her, not knowing how she had offended this mysterious Core Formation cultivator.

Soon, Chen Mobai also arrived.

Yuji Hermit hadn’t seen Chen Mobai’s true face before and didn’t know that the clean and graceful youth in front of her was the master of the Eastern Wilderness.

“Thanks for your hard work!”

Chen Mobai smiled at Qing Nu, then sealed Yuji Hermit’s cultivation level.

At this moment, Yuji Hermit realized that the youth’s cultivation was even more formidable than Qing Nu’s.

She imagined that powerful cultivators were often capricious, and even thought it was an enemy of her master coming for revenge, or believed it was Zhu Jun’s backup plan to deal with her to prevent future leaks, so she obediently followed them without any resistance.

Then, the three of them arrived at Wind Rain Hamlet, where Nu Jiang was already waiting at the Teleportation Array’s entrance and signaled for the disciples nearby to take Yuji Hermit away.

“I am a resident of Northern Abyss City, what reason do you have to capture me…”

By this time, Yuji Hermit roughly guessed the reason internally, but she still shouted loudly, claiming to be a law-abiding and good resident.

She even claimed that she was quite famous among the East Wu cultivators, and if she wasn’t given an explanation, the impression of the Eastern Wilderness and even the Five Elements Sect on the East Wu side would worsen.

“Immortal Venerate Chen’s rules, don’t you adhere to them in the water vein of the Five Elements Sect…”

In the end, Yuji Hermit even invoked Chen Mobai’s name.

“Wretch, still trying to stir trouble at this point!”

At this moment, nine pallid-looking Foundation Establishment practitioners entered from outside; it was Xiang Xieyuan’s nine people who had stepped out of the Teleportation Array earlier.

Having not gone far, they heard Yuji Hermit’s shouting and immediately returned to see their foe as a prisoner.

“Impossible, how are you still alive!”

Seeing Xiang Xieyuan’s nine alive in front of her, Yuji Hermit widened her eyes with disbelief.

She couldn’t fathom how these nine Foundation Establishment practitioners escaped from Zhu Jun and that formidable Third-Order Demon Beast’s hands.

“Thanks to Immortal Venerate Chen, the demonic harpy from Sun Bathing Sea and that demonic beast have already been executed; the Eastern Wilderness is the territory of the Five Elements Upper Sect, your vile plot is utterly doomed…”

Miao Yibao first saluted Chen Mobai, then turned to Yuji Hermit and viciously cursed her.

At this moment, Yuji Hermit realized that the clear and graceful youth beside her was actually the supreme master of the Eastern Wilderness!

Her face immediately turned pale.

“Immortal Venerate, it was but a moment of folly, lured by Zhu Jun with a Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, which led me to commit such a rogue cultivator’s deed. The real culprit is that Sun Bathing Sea. I plead for you to spare my life.”

Yuji Hermit immediately showed remorse before Chen Mobai and began to argue.

“North Abyss City has rules; should rogue cultivations result in the death of a cultivator, it requires a life in return.”

Chen Mobai said, and Yuji Hermit quickly pointed at the still-living Xiang Xieyuan and the others.

“Immortal Venerate Chen, they’re all still alive; hence my crime isn’t worth death.”

After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded: “Indeed, nobody died, but your intention to place them in mortal peril calls for severe punishment.”

“I’m willing to mine, farm, and reclaim the desert…”

Yuji Hermit saw a glimmer of hope, admitting guilt and willing to accept any punishment as long as she doesn’t die.

“Then let’s pursue another charge against you.”

Chen Mobai said with a smile, causing Yuji Hermit’s heart to suddenly grow cold, yet she held onto the hope asking: “What crime?”

“Practicing demonic cultivation!”

The moment these four characters were uttered, Yuji Hermit’s face showed not a trace of blood!

“Lock her up and keep a close watch; don’t let her die, as I still need her testimony before the Jiutian Dangmo Sect.”

After saying this, Chen Mobai gave orders to Nu Jiang, who immediately nodded.

…

A month later, people from Jiutian Dangmo Sect arrived at North Abyss City.

Because the matter involved Baiwu Ancestor, Chen Mobai directly contacted Ye Qing.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qing not only came personally but also brought Yuan Zhen along. Upon inquiry, it turned out Yuan Zhen had insisted on coming along.

“Greetings, Qing Emperor Daozi!”

Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen beamed as they raised their hands in greeting upon seeing Chen Mobai.

Chen Mobai: “No need for jokes between us.”

Though there were rumors in East Land that Chen Mobai was the Qing Emperor Daozi of the First Origin Dao Palace, Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen knew the truth, it was merely a fabricated identity for the Three Lights Divine Water.

“Sect Master Chen is indeed a prodigious talent, successfully forming a Nascent Soul with just one portion of the Three Lights Divine Water.”

Yuan Zhen looked at the now entirely different demeanor of Chen Mobai, full of envy. A few years prior, she had also attempted Nascent Soul Formation but fell short at the Nurturing Infant stage due to insufficient foundation.

Thankfully, the Three Lights Divine Water ensured there were no hidden dangers upon failure.

However, after one failure, any future attempt at Nascent Soul formation would require self-collected resources. Of course, as a cultivator from the Yuan family, while she couldn’t receive assistance from the sect, her family would grant her one more chance.

This failure allowed Yuan Zhen to see the disparity between herself and true Daozi-level geniuses like Ye Qing and Chen Mobai from East Continent.

“Oh, I just leveraged some of the sect’s resources and took a spirit pill that aids in Nascent Soul formation.”

Chen Mobai, while in Tianhe Realm, wanted to keep a low profile; the Three Lights Divine Water merely offered another chance, with no effect on Nascent Soul formation.

If word spread that he succeeded without any elixirs or spiritual objects, it would bring great fame but unquestionably attract attention from the demon path sects of East Li.

With the prior example of the former First Origin Dao Palace’s Taoist Saintess, Chen Mobai, though having succeeded in Nascent Soul Formation, wished to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen nodded at his statement.

They knew that when Ancestor Hunyuan Yi left East Land, First Origin Dao Palace had gathered materials for a batch of Coagulation Infant Pills and sought Dao Morale Sect’s help for refinement.

Presumably, Chen Mobai must have taken a Coagulation Infant Pill to succeed in forming a Nascent Soul.

“I wonder if your sect might have extra Coagulation Infant Pills…”

Yuan Zhen asked expectantly, as while the Three Lights Divine Water could wait for the next Beidou Conference, there was no source for Coagulation Infant Pills. The Yuan family wouldn’t gather materials for a batch solely for her.

Chen Mobai immediately shook his head, indicating he had no Coagulation Infant Pills at hand.

Though Zhou Ye possessed one pill, he certainly wouldn’t warm the hearts of outsiders over his own kin.

Yuan Zhen listened and lowered her head in disappointment.

But this was to be expected; after all, when Li Zhongji’s batch of Coagulation Infant Pills was refined by Dao Morale Sect, they retained half as a fee.

“Sect Master Chen, you mentioned capturing a cultivator practicing demonic cultivation and linking it to Sun Bathing Sea.”

This brought Ye Qing to broach the main topic.

“Indeed, I initially thought it was merely a misguided cultivator. Unexpectantly, upon capturing her and delving deeper, I uncovered this shocking matter…”

Chen Mobai narrated with premeditated words he had planned.

While apprehending the demon path cultivator, he found Yuji Hermit was instructed by Zhu Jun, who, as a Golden Core Cultivator from Sun Bathing Sea, schemed to unseal Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion and release the Rank-4 Poisonous Dragon, which had been arduously sealed to wreak havoc upon the mortal realm.

“Is there evidence?”

Ye Qing asked as per procedure after hearing this.

“Certainly. The witness is in North Abyss City; for material evidence, I can take you to the seal location.”

Before informing Jiutian Dangmo Sect, Chen Mobai had already arranged everything.

Xiang Xieyuan and eight other Foundation Establishment Practitioners could testify against Yuji Hermit, and the fact that she practiced demonic cultivation was indeed true.

Yuji Hermit had previously admitted in front of everyone she was under Zhu Jun’s command, following which Chen Mobai took Ye Qing to the seal’s location, where Xiang Xieyuan and others described the scene of sacrificial blood binding, clearly demonstrating it as a rite-utilizing method to break the seal.

Thus, evidence of Zhu Jun conspiring with demon path cultivators to release the Poisonous Dragon formed a closed loop.

“The only pity is Zhu Jun is dead; otherwise, I could have brought her to Golden Crow Immortal City as well.”

After inspecting the seal site and Zhu Jun’s corpse, Ye Qing remarked regretfully.
