I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1638: Chapter 811: Preparing to Transcend the Tribulation

The condition of Elder Muqin was something Chen Mobai understood very well—she was essentially at the brink of exhaustion.

If it weren’t so dire back then, she wouldn’t have swallowed her pride in Northern Abyss City and offered the Fourth Grade Superior Pure Bamboo to make amends.

During their journey to Star Heaven Dao Sect, Chen Mobai had secretly used Echoes in the Void to investigate and discovered that, although her body still contained the immense energy of the Nascent Soul, it was nearly uncontrollable, signaling that her physical body had already entered the stage of decline.

For a cultivator, once decline begins, it is an irreversible path to death.

In that condition, even if Elder Muqin fought desperately, it would be hard for her to inflict meaningful harm on a true Nascent Soul cultivator.

“Chef Shen, what’s the current situation with the three major factions of East Barbarians after the recent battle?”

Chen Mobai asked with concern; this involved the Five Elements Sect’s next decisions.

“After the large formations of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and Sun Bathing Sea were broken, they retreated a hundred miles to regroup. The key lies with the four Nascent Soul cultivators…”

Shen Shanqing didn’t hold anything back and shared the intelligence he had.

Since Elder Muqin and Ku Zhu had made their move, they were clearly intent on delivering a decisive blow. Baiwu Ancestor and Golden Wind Ancestor, on the other hand, would undoubtedly not retreat now after years of bloody rivalry.

In the Tianhe Realm, cultivators, faced with an uncertain victor, tend to become gamblers, convinced of their ability to triumph.

If they just win this fight, they believe they can win it all!

The four East Barbarian Nascent Soul cultivators have thus gone all out, deploying lifespan artifacts, valuable talismans, and even various powerful desperate secret techniques.

The battle has raged for several days now. All four are utterly consumed with rage, fighting with unyielding determination. The battlefield has shifted drastically, wreaking havoc as mountains collapse and rivers are severed. Currently, they have entered the Mysterious Sea.

The intelligence from Sky Meal Building stops here.

After hearing this, Chen Mobai fell into deep thought.

He wondered whether Elder Muqin and Ku Zhu might resolve Golden Wind Ancestor on their own, rendering his involvement unnecessary.

Regardless, this was undoubtedly good news for the Five Elements Sect.

After such a battle, Golden Wind Ancestor’s foundation would undoubtedly suffer some damage, given the desperate measures being undertaken.

The Five Elements Sect would continue preparations as planned, waiting for the result of the conflict between the four Nascent Soul cultivators to determine their next move.

After thanking Shen Shanqing, Chen Mobai personally escorted him out.

Soon after, Zhou Shengqing arrived, summoned by Chen Mobai. Upon learning the situation of the three East Barbarian factions, he was elated.

“Junior Brother, should we seize this opportunity to lead our army into the East Barbarians and crush Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace?”

Zhou Shengqing’s suggestion was tempting, but Chen Mobai contemplated and decided to refuse.

“Senior Brother, traveling from Eastern Wilderness to the East Barbarians is far too lengthy without a teleportation array. Additionally, encountering demonic beasts or other dangers in the ruins could result in heavy casualties. We should wait and observe for now.”

Chen Mobai had personally traversed the ruins between Eastern Wilderness and East Barbarians. Though cultivators from both regions had worked on clearing it for millennia, reducing the risks significantly, the area still remained the domain of demonic beasts. If their immense Five Elements Sect army passed through, it would undoubtedly alarm the local demonic beasts.

This route was both perilous and narrow. Even with Chen Mobai and others ensuring security during the journey, the resources and spirit stones consumed would be astronomical. Once in the East Barbarians, engaging in foreign battles would be even harder. Should Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace activate their Rank-4 Large Formation in time, breaking through promptly might be impossible. Such aggressive behavior could provoke resistance among all East Barbarian factions.

Moreover, should major Commerce Associations from East Land, which had footholds in the East Barbarians, intervene, the situation could escalate uncontrollably.

If Golden Wind Ancestor returned triumphantly, their foreign-invading Five Elements Sect could suffer disastrous losses.

Zhou Shengqing, after hearing Chen Mobai’s analysis, found it quite reasonable.

Their major concern remained Golden Wind Ancestor.

“Junior Brother, the lack of spies and intelligence channels in the East Barbarians is a disadvantage for the sect. How about I take a few disciples there myself?”

Zhou Shengqing made his suggestion, seeing that he was the most qualified to handle such a task within the sect.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, his presence in the East Barbarians essentially granted him immunity to restrictions.

“I’ll have to trouble you, Senior Brother.”

Chen Mobai nodded and then asked which disciples Zhou Shengqing intended to bring along.

“Whom do you think is suitable? You’ve been managing the sect these years, so I don’t know much about the disciples anymore.”

After hearing Zhou Shengqing, Chen Mobai deliberated and suggested a few promising candidates.

“My Primordial True Qi has now reached completion; I can set aside the Five Elements Essence cultivation for now. How about letting Zhou Wangshen accompany you, Senior Brother? He’s nearing Foundation Establishment Completion. Once the surrounding environment stabilizes, he can attempt Core Formation.”

During Qing Nu’s crafting of that batch of Golden Liquid Jade Pills, ten were successfully refined. Two have already been used, one is reserved for Zheng Deming, leaving Chen Mobai with seven pills.

Of course, these pills would first be distributed among his close associates.

Among these, E Yun and Zhou Wangshen, having labored diligently and contributed significantly over the years, were guaranteed their shares.

As for his own disciples, Liu Wenbo, still a fair amount of time away from Foundation Establishment Completion, wouldn’t receive one from this batch.
