I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 2620: Chapter 1196: Imperial Court Secret Realm (2)

Shenxi briefly explained that in the past, one of the ancestors of their Dao De Sect, Wuwei True Monarch, only managed to cultivate to the Void Refining Realm after obtaining resources left by the Eastern Royal Court.

Before ascending, Wuwei True Monarch, who was a Talisman Master, left behind many sixth-grade talismans as the sect’s foundation, among which the Six Dragons Talisman was included. It was precisely because of this that the Dao De Sect had a deep heritage, as no one knew exactly how many sixth-grade talismans they possessed.

However, Chen Mobai felt there might not be too many of them.

Moreover, even a God-Transcending cultivator would have to pay a great price to activate a powerful sixth-grade spirit talisman.

”Back in the peak days of the Eastern Royal Court, there were twelve Golden Armored Celestials, each guarding various Immortal Cities and borders of the East Land. Since Guangwu Immortal City was the Imperial City, it had three. Our sect helped the Nine Heavens Morality Sect and other Holy Lands to refine the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, thus gaining management rights over this Secret Realm. These three Golden Armored Celestials were also under our sect’s name. However, in battles with Demon Clan True Spirits, these puppets were damaged and remained here without Puppet Masters to repair them.”

Shenxi led Chen Mobai and the others to the three half-kneeling Golden Armored Celestials. Chen Mobai observed that these lifelike puppet bodies were covered with deep claw marks.

One of the statues was even torn apart and reassembled, with cracks all over its body.

The most intact statue was broken at the waist.

After examining them, Chen Mobai looked regretful, as all the core components of the puppets had been completely destroyed. Repairing them would be harder than creating a new one, which explained why the Dao De Sect let the three Golden Armored Celestials remain here.

”Back then, no one knew where those True Spirits came from. Their strength was comparable to at least an old Flood Dragon.”

Da Kong True Monarch seemed to be aware of the battle that led to the complete decline of the Eastern Royal Court. Not only was the Imperial City ravaged by the Demon Clan True Spirits, but even the Dragon Capturing Tripod was taken away.

Power at the very least would have been necessary, equivalent to forces like Taixu MiaoMiao Palace.

They investigated for a long time afterward, but couldn’t find any meaningful conclusions.

”In that battle, surely forces of the Void Refining level intervened, otherwise it would have been impossible to breach the Imperial City’s defense array.”

Shenxi also revealed some information known to the Dao De Sect. Their ancestor, Wuwei True Monarch, once served as the State Preceptor for the Eastern Royal Court and understood the defense array of Guangwu Immortal City, knowing that even an ordinary Void Refining realm cultivator couldn’t cause such destruction.

It was for this reason that all the Holy Lands in the East Continent remained silent after the incident.

”Alas, what a pity, they surely can’t be repaired.” At this moment, Da Kong True Monarch finished inspecting the severely damaged Golden Armored Celestials and stood up, sighing.

”My master said that Chen Sect Master and Elder could each choose one statue.”

Shenxi spoke, a bit embarrassed. After all, although Dustless True Monarch exchanged the secrets of Dragon Abyss Cave for them, the items were in poor condition.

”Young friend, you choose first.”

Seeing Chen Mobai earnestly disassemble and inspect the materials of one of the Golden Armored Celestials, Da Kong True Monarch couldn’t help but offer.

”Then I’ll take this one.”

Chen Mobai gracefully pointed to the one he’d dismantled.

After his inspection, even the fragments were all Rank-5 materials, with some remaining traces of sixth-grade.

”Hmm, this puppet seems a bit strange.”

When Da Kong True Monarch was about to take the statue that was broken at the waist, he noticed something unusual.

Chen Mobai immediately went to check, and upon seeing the severed spinal bone, his pupils involuntarily shrank.

”A Human Puppet!?”

He looked at the spinal bone in the wound and couldn’t help but feel grave.

The raw material for this Golden Armored Celestial was human.

Was it a corpse or a living cultivator?

How could the Eastern Royal Court be so cruel?

Chen Mobai and Da Kong looked at Shenxi, who seemed a bit awkward, and then explained the reason.

”This was a Golden Armored Zombie nearly advancing to become a Flying Night Fiend, caught during the suppression of the Corpse Disassembling Devil Sect by the Hall of Ten Directions. Later, the Imperial Court’s Puppet Masters refined it into a Golden Armored Celestial. This is actually where the Golden Armored Celestials originated from, but at that time, our sect had little influence...”

Shenxi sighed, knowing that as an Orthodox Holy Land, discovering the Eastern Royal Court using Demonic Way Secret Methods to refine puppets without stopping it was wrong.

However, at that time, the Dao De Sect indeed did not have the standing to criticize the Human Emperor.

”Then I’ll choose another one.”

After hearing this, Da Kong True Monarch quite graciously selected another, as only one of the three was refined from a Golden Armored Zombie.

Shenxi said nothing further.

”What’s over there?” After selecting their puppets, Chen Mobai, having set the coordinates with Turtle Treasure, pointed to the nearby pavilions and asked.

”That’s where past Human Emperors went into seclusion for cultivation. Originally, it connected directly to the Upper Realm via a seventh-rank spiritual vein, but after the Utter Desolation Barrier, it’s been severed, now barely maintaining a sixth-rank lower-grade level.”

Shenxi responded, then activated the Six Dragons Talisman to lead them inside.

Inside was naturally incredibly luxurious, but what interested Chen Mobai the most was a pavilion full of jade slips.

”These are the records of the governance of each era’s Human Emperor in the Eastern Royal Court, considered as the Imperial Court’s history. We initially sent people from several Holy Lands to copy them, and what’s here is the original.”
