Chapter 1035: Chapter 567: The Law of the Heavenly Sovereign_2 Chapter 1035: Chapter 567: The Law of the Heavenly Sovereign_2 Fearing that Chen Mobai would lose his rationality in a fit of rage, Elder Ming promptly opened her mouth to remind him.

“Hmph!”

Thinking of this, Chen Mobai could only let out a cold snort, grasping the Soul Nourishing Wood in his palm and beginning to inquire about a solution.

“Saint Heir, having taken three Huangquan Holy Fruits, the Ghost Fetus in the Womb is almost irreversible. But this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. As long as you let me enter her divine sense to take control and ensure that the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power within her forms a core, she would reach the topmost realm in the Eastern Wilderness, a state that countless cultivators dream of…”

“Shut up, my disciple will succeed in core formation without resorting to these crooked and evil paths!”

Chen Mobai said earnestly, speaking what was in his heart out of urgency.

“Yes, yes, Saint Heir…”

Elder Ming agreed outwardly but inwardly she felt that the Divine Wood Sect’s fate couldn’t possibly be so good that, besides you, the Saint Heir, there would be a second genius capable of cultivating to the Golden Core Realm.

“There has never been a cultivation technique or secret method without flaws in this world. The Art of Rebirth in the Underworld must have a way to reverse it. You’d better think carefully, or although I can’t kill you, letting you experience the Pure Yang Fire again wouldn’t be a problem.”

Chen Mobai, for the sake of his disciple, could not but threaten Elder Ming.

“Saint Heir, there are indeed three methods but…”

“Speak!”

With a gloomy voice and under the constraint of the contract, Elder Ming could only reveal what she knew.

“In Kong Sang Valley of the East Barbarians, there grows a Spirit Plant known as ‘Pure Bamboo’, which contains natural Pure Qi capable of suppressing the transformations of the Ghost Fetus.”

“Then, there is the Three Lights Divine Water from the Star Heaven Dao Sect of East Yu, which is the method of addressing the root cause. The Saint Heir could use the Alchemy Demon True Fire to incinerate her flesh that has already transformed into a Ghost Fetus and then guide her to recall her original body, to reconstruct it with the Three Lights Divine Water. But this requires her own divine sense to be strong enough to control the effect of the Three Lights Divine Water.”

“Lastly, there is the ‘Netherworld Scripture’ in the demon sects, a method for cultivating Yellow Springs Spiritual Power in a human body. If she could get her hands on this and switch to cultivating the Demon Path, with the foundation laid by my three Huangquan Holy Fruits, her achievements would be unlimited, and at the very least, she would be able to cultivate to Perfect Core Formation.”

After Elder Ming finished speaking, Chen Mobai fell silent.

The simplest of these was naturally the first one.

If he remembered correctly, the gift he had given Yin Qingmei when she was at the Foundation Establishment stage was a stalk of Pure Bamboo.

After so many years, he wondered how well she had taken care of it?

But even if it had died, Chen Mobai could have Chu Zuoshu help purchase one in the East Barbarians.

This could only provide symptomatic treatment, however.

The other two methods, addressing the root cause, seemed unthinkable. The Three Lights Divine Water was a supreme Spiritual Object even sought after by the Eastern Earth Holy Land.

Although Chen Mobai’s relationship with Yu Shuji was decent and he had a third-rank inner core that the other desired, such treasures were coveted by the latter and would hardly end up in the Eastern Wilderness.

After some thought, Chen Mobai felt that the cultivation method of the Demon Path might actually be the best option.

Having grown up in the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai had no distinction between the righteous path and the demon path.

If used rightly, it is righteous; if used evilly, it is evil!

This was what the Immortal Gate preached every day.

Haven’t you seen how the Huntuanyuanjing Method of the Antiquity Daoist System’s Ruyi Gate, became an environmental protection magic in the hands of the Immortal Gate for dealing with all sorts of rubbish and waste materials?

“Do you have the ‘Netherworld Scripture’?”

Elder Ming immediately shook her head. Just as Chen Mobai’s brow furrowed, preparing to go back and think of another solution, she opened her mouth to provide another clue.

“Tu Daohua, who lives in seclusion in Yun Meng Ze, is a Ghost-route Demon Cultivator. He disclosed about the ‘Netherworld Scripture’ to me during our exchange. If the Saint Heir really wishes to obtain the Netherworld Scripture, you could seek him out.”

At that moment, Chen Mobai finally realized the benefit of the contract he had signed with Elder Ming.

At least she couldn’t hide anything he wanted to know.

“You know where he is in hiding, right?”

“I sought him out once, ten years ago. He is cautious and often changes places; I don’t know if he is still on the same island now.”

“After my visit to Five Elements Sect ends, I’ll be leaving Rain Country. I might as well take a detour to Yun Meng Ze.”

Chen Mobai made his decision within a few brief words.

“Yes, Saint Heir!”

Elder Ming finally sighed in relief upon hearing this.

She was genuinely worried that Chen Mobai would vent his anger on her after learning Luo Yixuan had been transformed into a Ghost Fetus in the Womb.

However, she was somewhat surprised that Chen Mobai would choose a technique from the Demon Path.

It seemed that this Saint Heir was someone whose bottom line was flexible. How long would her oath with him, regarding the Dao Heart, last?

“By the way, how come this Huangquan Holy Fruit looks so much like the fruit of the Longevity Tree?”

Amidst Elder Ming’s worries, Chen Mobai suddenly thought of this and asked.

“Oh, does the Saint Heir not know? The Art of Rebirth in the Underworld was founded by the Heavenly Sovereign.”

“Really? Is that so? Tell me more!”

Chen Mobai had suspected that the Art of Rebirth in the Underworld bore a resemblance to the Longevity Sect, but at that time, his cultivation was too low, and he thought it was just his imagination.

“The Heavenly Sovereign, known as ‘Longevity,’ was a Spirit Plant Transformation full of vibrant life in the Tianhe Realm, a naturally born Great Divine Power wielder. But for this reason, achieving Dao Fusion was even more difficult for him than for ordinary cultivators.”

“The Heavenly Sovereign sought the Dao Fusion Method from the Mother of Water, who guided him to enter destruction from life and to control life and death within the cycle of reincarnation, enabling him to take the step toward Dao Fusion.”

“Therefore, the Heavenly Sovereign cut off a strand of his divine sense and entered the Netherworld to try the path of Ghost Cultivation. The Art of Rebirth in the Underworld originated from this. However, at that time, only the Holy Sons and Daughters within the sect were qualified to cultivate it and become the Saint Embryo of the Heavenly Sovereign’s descent!”

“But we ordinary followers could also benefit from the Heavenly Sovereign’s protection, transforming into Ghost Cultivators after death and continue to sing the name of the Heavenly Sovereign in the Nether Huangquan!”

After listening to Elder Ming’s words, Chen Mobai suddenly fell silent.

Why did he feel that the Great Dao Tree was still somewhat dangerous?

“Does Ghost Cultivation offer unlimited lifespan?”

Chen Mobai then pondered this question. Elder Ming’s previous life had disappeared before the Longevity Sect, at least ten thousand years ago, and she had reawakened her memory after becoming a Ghost Cultivator, undoubtedly continuing an existence that should have ended.

If every cultivator of the Longevity Sect who passed away in meditation became a Ghost Cultivator, then the Nether Huangquan should have been dominated by the Longevity Sect long ago!

“Saint Heir, although we can become Ghost Cultivators under the protection of the Heavenly Sovereign, those who can awaken their memories are one in ten thousand. Moreover, once awakened, ten thousand years have passed, and the other followers have probably become nourishment for other Ghost Cultivators within the Underworld.”

“Furthermore, as Ghost Cultivators, we lose the possibility of reincarnation and rebirth. Once devoured by another Ghost Cultivator, it means the soul is scattered and utterly obliterated. We can only constantly fight and devour one another until the endpoint to make our endless existence meaningful.”

“This is also why we were so eager to escape the Underworld the moment the Yellow Springs Path appeared. Because even though we, as Rank-3 Ghost Cultivators, are powerful in the Eastern Wilderness, in the Underworld, we’re always worried about being discovered and devoured by Rank-4 Ghost Kings.”

Elder Ming’s words also made Chen Mobai understand the hardships of Ghost Cultivators.

Indeed, Ghost Cultivators have an endless lifespan, but over ninety-nine percent of them cannot awaken their past memories, and even with innate wisdom, they live in constant fear of being accidentally devoured by higher-ranked Ghost Cultivators.

Human Cultivators, even in death, still have a chance at reincarnation and might achieve great cultivation in another life, thus transcending the cycle of suffering.

But Ghost Cultivators don’t have this opportunity.

Once they die, they’re gone for good!

No wonder, although the Tianhe Realm has methods for Ghost Cultivation, cultivators generally are hesitant to pursue this path or learn from it.

The same goes for eternal life as a zombie, it must be for similar reasons.

Understanding this, Chen Mobai thought it was still better to maintain human cultivation.

“Mast… Master…”

Just then, a faint yet trembling voice came to his ears.

Turning his head, Chen Mobai saw Luo Yixuan’s lips pale as snow, trembling slightly. She held back her tears, her eyes filled with the excitement and joy of reunion.
