Chapter 1008: Chapter 553: Primordial Stone Chapter 1008: Chapter 553: Primordial Stone After the Core Formation, in the Eastern Wilderness realm, Chen Mobai, with the Purple Electric Sword in hand, truly had nobody to fear.
However, defeating Kong Lingling so easily was still somewhat unexpected to him.
Kong Lingling was an old Core Formation expert, a senior who had survived under the pressure of Ancestor Hunyuan in the Eastern Wilderness. Chen Mobai had thought the fight would be tough and that he might need to use the Purple Electric Sword.
But who would have thought that after the Great Achievement of the Red Flame Sword Art, the Flame Sun Slash was much more powerful than he had imagined.
Especially when facing Kong Lingling’s Ice Spirit Power, it had invoked the strongest might of the attack, and coupled with the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, which neutralized the Cold Moon Twin Hooks, he managed to win quite effortlessly in a head-on confrontation.
“Sect Master Chen truly deserves the reputation of being the top sword cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness; I am no match for you,” said Kong Lingling graciously after her defeat.
The atmosphere within the spirit vein of the Snow-blowing Palace shifted, and a stream of icy blue mist emerged, coalescing into the silhouette of a graceful and beautiful woman, who respectfully bowed to Chen Mobai.
“Huh?”
Chen Mobai couldn’t help but feel surprised at Kong Lingling’s remark, but after careful thought, he began to vaguely understand why she had suddenly made a move when he was about to leave, and why she seemed so composed about losing to him.
“If True Person Kong is at a critical moment in her cultivation, she shouldn’t exhaust her mind or spirit. I will soon take the Sect Disciples and leave the Snow Country.”
“Why the rush, Sect Master Chen? Why not stay a couple more days? Was the hospitality insufficient?”
Kong Lingling had used a method akin to that of a Taoist Soldier, leveraging her Lifespan Artifact and the Large Formation’s spirit veins of the Snow-blowing Palace to contend with Chen Mobai. In doing so, she could display 80% of her strength without harming the foundation of the spirit veins, yet even this was not enough to withstand the Flame Sun Slash.
Knowing this, Kong Lingling became even more wary of Chen Mobai.
Although she had heard of his fame as the top sword cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness and his unrivaled swordsmanship talent in a millennium, without having personally crossed swords with him, she had always been skeptical.
Now that she had tested his strength, she realized that unless she was willing to risk her life, she most likely wouldn’t stand a chance against this Sect Master of the Divine Wood Sect.
It was this realization that led to a profound change in her attitude.
“Not at all, Sect Leader Zhu. You’ve been very courteous. It’s just that I need to visit the Golden Cliff in Wind Country and I don’t want to keep Brother Mo waiting.”
Chen Mobai spoke with ease. He was leading the Divine Wood Sect’s disciples on this trip, with their route circling the Donghuang Border, meant to deter hostile forces beyond the Sect.
Between the Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley lies the Wind Country of Golden Cliff.
Since they were passing through, it was a certainty that Chen Mobai would visit Mo Douguang. Yue Zutao had been informed in advance and upon hearing the news of his arrival, even exited seclusion especially for this.
Upon hearing Mo Douguang’s name, Kong Lingling felt even more disheartened.
The two most capable fighters in the entire Eastern Wilderness were on either side of the Snow-blowing Palace, and she feared that one day while she was in seclusion, these two swords might suddenly strike.
Against Mo Douguang, she had no chance of winning at all.
And now facing this excessively young Sect Master Chen, having tested him today, she also realized she might not be a match for him, making her even more discouraged.
However, she still maintained a smile to see off the guests on the surface.
“Since that is the case, I shall not detain you any longer. Jinyu, send someone to escort Sect Master Chen and his party safely to the border.”
“You are too kind, True Person Kong,” Chen Mobai responded.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Kong Lingling, she took her leave first.
“Junior Sister Xue Ting, I’m afraid I have to trouble you once more,” said Zhu Jinyu to Xue Ting at her side, who nodded expressionlessly in response.
“Sect Leader Senior Sister, allow me to escort Sect Master Chen,” suddenly spoke up Bai Cai, who had been silently standing by. Zhu Jinyu looked hesitant, but after some thought, she nodded her agreement.
Using the Teleportation Array of the Snow-blowing Palace, Chen Mobai and his party arrived at the border between Snow Country and Wind Country.
However, there was still a distance of three hundred kilometers to go.
Chen Mobai utilized the “Red Misty Cloud Silk,” carrying everyone as they flew mid-air toward Wind Country.
The border between Snow Country and Wind Country was a barren and desolate land of mountains, home to only a few weak Rank-1 Spirit Veins, which is why the Snow-blowing Palace didn’t put much effort into the area.
“Sect Master Chen, look over there,” said Xue Ting, standing next to him in the smoke clouds, pointing towards a fiery red Spirit Field nestled between the valleys below.
“This was the experimental field for planting Fire Spirit Rice when I first returned from Xiao Nanshan…”
As Xue Ting spoke, she pointed out various oddly shaped Spirit Fields scattered across the mountainous terrain below, some of which were terraced fields, clearly also inspired by what she learned from Xiao Nanshan.
“Very good, very good. In the realm of farming, you are second only to Ming’er, having received my heritage,” praised Chen Mobai, moving to the edge of the misty clouds alongside Xue Ting, carefully observing along her pointed fingertip. After activating his Void Spirit Eye, even from mid-air, he could clearly see the stalks in the Spirit Fields, not very plump, but laden with grain panicles.
“When cultivating these Spirit Fields, I came across many difficulties and resolved them only by writing letters and asking for advice from Senior Sister Zhuo. However, the Fire Spirit Rice harvested here is of ordinary quality, not comparable to that from South Mountain,” Xue Ting expressed her modesty, delighted by Chen Mobai’s words as this was the first time she received praise in her cultivation journey. She maintained a humble attitude, acknowledging her inadequacies.
