I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1219: Chapter 669: Turbulent undercurrents_2 Chapter 1219: Chapter 669: Turbulent undercurrents_2 However, most of the Spirit Fields were the lands by the shore of Yun Meng Ze, basically all occupied by the local Cultivator Families. Zhou Wangshen followed Chen Mobai’s command, not seizing those lands but instead leading the Sect Disciples to open up new areas.

But the Spirit Plant Masters from Sky Country surely couldn’t compare to those from the Xiao Nanshan Lineage.

Moreover, most of the manpower was dispatched by Zhou Wangshen to dig canals, resulting in Sky Country lagging far behind Rock Country in terms of Spirit Field development and Spirit Rice cultivation.

“Who is this Han Shizhu?” Zhou Wangshen asked Qi Rui, since the previous two batches of laborers had been led by Foundation Establishment Practitioners, how come the third batch suddenly had Qi Practitioners instead.

“What, Brother Zhou doesn’t know… She is Zhuo Shimei’s disciple, and as long as she achieves Foundation Establishment, she will become the third-generation Eldest Disciple of the Xiao Nanshan Lineage.”

Upon hearing this from Qi Rui, Zhou Wangshen immediately realized.

He had heard of Han Zhiling’s reputation.

“I will have Bing Yan personally welcome her.”

Zhou Wangshen didn’t look down on Han Zhiling just because she was only in the stage of Qi Cultivation; after all, being accepted by Xiao Nanshan meant she must have been granted permission by the Sect Leader.

Plus, most importantly, Chen Mobai was still in Sky Country.

Once the third batch led by Han Zhiling arrived, the Qi Practitioners from Sky Country and Rock Country finally balanced out.

But those Foundation Establishment Practitioners, since they all volunteered to help Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai could not really give orders to them.

He could only have Spirit Treasure Pavilion provide more conveniences for Zhou Wangshen, listing more tasks from Sky Country; whether or not Zhou Wangshen could retain them when they came would depend on his tactics.

When Han Zhiling arrived, Chen Mobai had just finished turning all the Green Wood Evil into Green Flames Sword Sha.

As his chosen third-generation Eldest Disciple, Chen Mobai naturally wanted to meet her.

Not long after Han Zhiling was accepted by Xiao Nanshan, she came to Rock Country with Zhuo Ming.

Her talent was undeniable, and combined with diligent hard work, she had already become a Rank-2 Spirit Plant Master, specializing in Fire Spirit Rice.

This was the reason Zhuo Ming had her lead the team this time.

Chen Mobai’s meeting with Han Zhiling was not to assess this aspect, but to ask if she had any doubts about her cultivation, for he was already inferior to Zhuo Ming in the field of Spirit Plants; it was better to stick to his strengths.

Han Zhiling had already reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, but she felt her practice was not profound enough and wanted to wait another two years before attempting Foundation Establishment.

Chen Mobai’s personal inquiry naturally led her to ask all the questions she had accumulated over the days.

Chen Mobai, renowned in the Eastern Desolation as a Great Sage and Good Teacher, easily guided a Qi Practitioner.

After some answers, Han Zhiling no longer had any doubts about using Melting Fire Cultivation to establish her Foundation and felt confident that once she reached Qi Cultivation Perfection, she would be ready to take a Foundation Building Pill.

However, after Foundation Establishment, the Melting Fire Cultivation would reach its limit, and Han Zhiling would either have to cultivate the Earth’s Core True Fire Technique from Back to Sky Valley or switch to another Fire Attribute Technique.

Chen Mobai also asked her about her own thoughts on this.

Han Zhiling hesitated, expressing her admiration for the founder’s formidable Sword Dao and her aspiration for the Red Flame Sword Jue.

“It’s not impossible, but right now you should focus on Foundation Establishment. I’ll take care of the subsequent Cultivation Techniques for you,” he reassured her.

If Chen Mobai was willing, creating a mantra to bridge the transition from Melting Fire Cultivation to Red Flame Sword Jue wouldn’t be difficult, especially since he had the Formless Puppet at his disposal.

Thus, he did not make Han Zhiling switch her Cultivation Technique at the moment. After all, she had practiced Melting Fire Cultivation for the better part of her life; making a switch at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation would certainly affect her Foundation Establishment.

It was better to wait until after achieving Foundation Establishment to consider changing her Cultivation Technique.

With his assurance, Han Zhiling was completely at ease.

After the exchange with his granddaughter-student, Chen Mobai left Sky Country.

He didn’t continue to Rainbow Country, but instead planned to return and master Extreme Sun Slash.

Unknown to Chen Mobai, his whereabouts were always being monitored by others.

After he left the Eastern Desolation Plateau, Nanxuan sect’s Fang Xuanyang’s face grew solemn as he put down the letter that had just arrived from the East Barbarians.

The letter contained the latest instructions from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace for him.

The negotiations between Golden Wind Ancestor and Ku Zhu had broken down, and both sides were now preparing to mobilize all of their forces for a major conflict.

As a Golden Core Cultivator, Fang Xuanyang would naturally be called back.

However, before returning, Golden Wind Ancestor had another directive for the Eastern Wilderness.

That was to make this place a retreat for Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.

Should the war against Kong Sang Valley fail, their remaining people could withdraw here to lie in wait, preparing for a comeback.

But to turn the Eastern Wilderness into Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace’s fallback strategy, the biggest issue was the Divine Wood Sect.

After all, according to the original strategy of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, once Mountain Shaker Peak was destroyed, they would step in to gradually wear down Rock Country, Sky Country, and others, seizing the Eastern Desolation Plateau, which connected to the Land of Ruins, to establish a branch.

Unfortunately, the resistance from Divine Wood Sect erupted beyond Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace’s expectations. Both Nanxuan Jing and Zhao Xuankang died; even the highly-anticipated Xuan Shu arrived only to return severely wounded.

When Fang Xuanyang was dispatched, he too was trembling with fear, deeply worried that Chen Mobai and the other three Golden Core Cultivators would come knocking on his door to slaughter him.

Thankfully, the reputation of Golden Wind Ancestor of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace still managed to hold sway.

But from this, Fang Xuanyang guessed one thing, that Zhou Shengqing must not have succeeded in his “Nascent Soul Formation.”

A major sect with a Nascent Soul powerhouse would never allow any other Nascent Soul forces to establish a branch within their territory.

Since he guessed this much, Fang Xuanyang naturally thought of a way to verify it.

Thus, he founded the Restoration Society and summoned over the Cultivators from the East Barbarians who had been annihilated by Divine Wood Sect to draw on their connections in the Eastern Wilderness and continually gather intelligence.

Among these, the Restoration Society encountered another secret organization when they reached Rainbow Country. Fang Xuanyang personally made a move to test them but backed off with trepidation.

Yet, this organization also had deep-seated hatred for Divine Wood Sect and had even buried many of its members with significant identities and statuses among the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness.

Fang Xuanyang immediately collaborated with this organization and indeed obtained more detailed and specific information about Divine Wood Sect.

Unfortunately, this organization was not cautious in its actions. The Killing God of Divine Wood Sect traced them, drew his sword, and ascended Liu Jia Mountain, leading to another East Wilderness Major Sect being annihilated.

Fang Xuanyang had mixed feelings about this; he rejoiced that after the fall of Liu Jia Mountain, the Foundation Establishment Practitioners led by Yu Changjian weren’t completely exterminated. He managed to find and recruit those who concealed themselves under his command.

His worry stemmed from the terrifying strength that Divine Wood Sect displayed in the process of conquering Liu Jia Mountain, which made him dare not command the Restoration Society to take any further actions.

If possible, Fang Xuanyang hoped that things would continue peacefully as they were.

But sadly, the orders from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace obliged him to prepare for a falling out with Divine Wood Sect.

Fortunately, as a Golden Core Cultivator, he had some semblance of prestige; this letter sought his opinion.

Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace planned to sweep through the Eastern Wilderness before the major showdown with Kong Sang Valley, at the very least, to eradicate Divine Wood Sect, their greatest enemy, to prevent possible retaliation in the future should they retreat to the Eastern Wilderness after a defeat.

And now, supporting Divine Wood Sect was the key figure, the young Sect Leader Chen Guixian.

As long as he was slain, the rest was not a concern.

For this, Fang Xuanyang mobilized all the hidden agents of the Restoration Society, keeping a close watch on Chen Mobai’s movements.

He didn’t consider himself a match, so he waited for a more powerful Golden Core Cultivator from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to arrive.

Only this time they hadn’t been quick enough.

Chen Mobai didn’t stay long on the Eastern Desolation Plateau and had returned home.

Fang Xuanyang remained very calm about this. After all, his Restoration Society had a highly placed mole in Giant Tree Ridge who could inform him at any moment of Chen Mobai’s next visit to the Eastern Desolation Plateau.

Next time, when Sect Master Chen visited, he’d also take out Chen’s prized disciple, and that Heavenly Spiritual Root as well.

Completely severing any chance for Divine Wood Sect to rise again!
