Chapter 1221: Chapter 670: Extreme Sun Slash Success_2 Chapter 1221: Chapter 670: Extreme Sun Slash Success_2 But Chen Mobai’s Pure Yang Spiritual Power was of higher quality, and it even encompassed all the characteristics of Red Flame Spiritual Power, so this step was greatly shortened.
One could see the two distinctly incompatible and clearly separated scorching energies in the palm of his hand begin to slowly merge…
One year later!
A faint white light that twisted the void itself danced forth.
The white light was like lightning, dazzlingly bright!
Unable to resist, Chen Mobai reached out to grasp it. In an instant, the light burst forth, its terrible sharpness and intense heat almost too much to handle, forcing him to release it with a flick to the side.
With a hiss!
One could see the limb of the Rank-4 Everlife Wood, cleanly severed, falling toward the ground.
The power of that white light clearly hadn’t been fully unleashed, as it cut straight into the main trunk of the Everlife Wood before Chen Mobai’s astonished gaze, nearly splitting the thick trunk.
However, at that moment, the power of the white light had also been exhausted.
Chen Mobai flew to the trunk’s wound and saw that searing white sparks were still burning on it.
But the Everlife Wood was, after all, a Fourth Order Spirit Plant, tempered by Green-sun Fire for hundreds of years, and its resistance to flames was extremely high. Streams of greenish Qi accompanied by the vibrant sap of the Longevity Tree emerged, quickly covering and extinguishing the sparks.
This also let Chen Mobai realize the power of his Extreme Sun Slash.
In the Eastern Wilderness, magic weapons and Spirit Talismans below Rank-4 were already something he could ignore; as for those on the Rank-4 level, unless they could suppress the attribute of Extreme Sun Slash, it was estimated they would have a hard time withstanding it.
As newly mastered Extreme Sun Slash was at his disposal, while Chen Mobai was contemplating how to train his control, a clear and agile female cultivator flew up.
“Sect Leader!”
Gu Yan’s expression was respectful as she held a charred twig in her long, snow-white hands–it was the very limb that the Extreme Sun Slash had cut down, which she found below while extracting Longevity Tree Sap.
This was Fourth Order Spirit Material, invaluable beyond measure, so she immediately presented it to him.
“Practicing sword techniques, the power was somewhat beyond expectations.”
Seeing it was Gu Yan, Chen Mobai didn’t bother to hide it and spoke out.
After hearing this, Gu Yan looked up just in time to see the arm-length cut on the trunk of the Longevity Wood beside Chen Mobai, her face revealing a look of shock.
One must know that for these Foundation Establishment practitioners, even if they went all out, they couldn’t pluck a single leaf from a Fourth Order Divine Wood.
So, even though they knew as soon as the bark of the Longevity Wood was cut, sap would ooze out, they still needed a Secret Technique to extract it.
Because even Golden Core Cultivators were not able to break through the bark of this Fourth Order Spirit Wood.
At most, they could sever some small branches or take a few leaves.
But now, Gu Yan saw this Rank-4 Spirit Wood, revered as a Divine Tree within their Sect, not only had its bark been slashed, but it seemed the main trunk had been deeply cut as well.
The charred wound on the trunk and the sap that overflowed from it made Gu Yan worry whether she would still be needed by the Sect Leader in the future.
“Has anything major happened in the Sect recently?”
Chen Mobai asked. While he was in seclusion, only Gu Yan and disciples from Xiao Nanshan were allowed to enter this Longevity Wood Dojo.
Gu Yan, who was there for a long time, would usually be the first to be informed of any matters by the likes of Yue Zutao and Liu Wenbo when they came to visit.
Every time Chen Mobai finished his cultivation practice and came down for a breather, Gu Yan would tell him any important matters if she encountered him.
“Elder Liu came by several times, but he didn’t say what for.”
After listening, Chen Mobai nodded slightly and then had Gu Yan go down to notify the Sect that he had emerged from seclusion.
It wasn’t long before Yue Zutao came over first.
During the year Chen Mobai was in closed-door cultivation practicing Extreme Sun Slash, nothing of great importance that required his attention happened in the Eastern Wilderness, but Yue Zutao still reported a piece of news that pleased him.
That news was about Zheng Deming, a Sect disciple who had long been stationed in Yun Meng Ze, who exchanged for a Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruit and achieved Foundation Establishment Completion in his cultivation realm.
Chen Mobai was naturally aware of this person; after all, when he first came to the Eastern Wilderness to earn Spirit Stones in Yun Meng Ze, it was under his command on Green Light Island.
Chen Mobai: “How old is Zheng Deming?”
Yue Zutao: “This year, Zheng Deming is exactly 170 years old.”
Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret. According to the theories of the Immortal Gate, a Foundation Establishment practitioner is still in the peak of their Essence, Qi, and Spirit before the age of 150, with a higher possibility of breaking through major realms.
At 170 years old, Zheng Deming has reached the Completion of Foundation Establishment, and since he doesn’t practice the Longevity Scripture, his hopes of reaching Core Formation are probably slim.
However, it’s certainly a cause for celebration for the sect to have another Foundation Establishment Completion practitioner.
Moreover, Zheng Deming has been stationed in the Cloud Dream Marsh for many years, slaying demonic beasts, and his cumulative contribution to the sect is said to be the highest among Foundation Establishment practitioners; it’s just that he hasn’t received the same background as Zhou Fu, so previously all his contributions were exchanged for cultivation resources at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.
And now, after reaching Foundation Establishment Completion, he only has the goal of Core Formation left.
For this, he will surely slay more demonic beasts, driving the rest of the Divine Wood Sect’s Foundation Establishment practitioners who seek Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine to become even more involved.
“What a pity Zheng Deming practices the Yellow Sand Sword Art, which has different properties from my cultivation techniques…”
Chen Mobai, who enjoyed mentoring others, regretted that he couldn’t offer guidance.
Zheng Deming was a loose cultivator before joining the Divine Wood Sect, and even after joining, he didn’t change his cultivation techniques, so if he wishes to reach Core Formation in the future, he will have to rely more on himself.
Nevertheless, Chen Mobai still had Yue Zutao notify Zheng Deming to return to the sect for a visit, intending to impart the sect’s Core Formation Insights to him, which could save him a lot of detours.
“Sect Leader, should we not test him further?”
Yue Zutao hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth to speak, revealing the locally prevalent mentality.
“Why?”
“After all, Elder Zheng entered the sect as a loose cultivator, not a direct descendant of our Divine Wood Sect…”
Yue Zutao’s words were cut short when he saw Chen Mobai shake his head in disappointment, rendering him unable to continue.
“I too entered the sect as a loose cultivator. According to you, shouldn’t Fu Shixiong have tested me thoroughly before imparting anything to me?”
“This…”
After hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Yue Zutao’s face turned white, and he was speechless.
However, it wasn’t his fault, as this was the custom in the Eastern Wilderness. Insights on breaking through major realms were fundamentally what made great sects what they were.
Loose cultivators lack these things, which is why, although many strive to reach Qi Cultivation Perfection, one in ten thousand can break through to Foundation Establishment.
As for loose cultivators reaching Core Formation, the Eastern Wilderness has yet to see one.
Zheng Deming cannot be considered as someone nurtured by the Divine Wood Sect since his cultivation resources were primarily fought for by himself in the Cloud Dream Marsh, unlike Xie Yuntian’s noble background.
Therefore, when Yue Zutao heard that Chen Mobai intended to impart Core Formation Insights to him, he couldn’t help but speak out of turn.
“Before each cultivator in the sect is transmitted insights, they take a Dao Heart oath, so there’s absolutely no need to worry about leaks, and by imparting it to him in advance, we can better cultivate his recognition and sense of belonging to the sect.”
After hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Yue Zutao’s expression cleared. However, this was also because he had never experienced such a matter himself; after all, he wasn’t qualified to take part in the transmission of Core Formation Insights before.
While Yue Zutao personally went to notify Zheng Deming at the Cloud Dream Marsh, Liu Wenbo, upon learning of Chen Mobai’s emergence from seclusion, also returned.
“Greetings, Master!”
Liu Wenbo came over to pay his respects, then spoke of two matters.
The first was that during the year Chen Mobai was in seclusion cultivating the Extreme Sun Slash, Zhuo Ming’s Ninefold Law Body achieved a breakthrough to the fourth layer.
This meant that her physical strength was now comparable to a Second Order High Grade defensive magic weapon.
Combined with the All-Things Altruistic Cauldron, basic Foundation Establishment practitioners would no longer be able to penetrate her defenses.
“That’s great news. If Ming’er could cultivate the Ninefold Law Body to the fourth layer before reaching Core Formation, then reaching Core Formation shouldn’t be a problem at all.”
Chen Mobai was also very pleased. He calculated with his fingers; the last time Zhuo Ming’s Ninefold Law Body broke through along with her cultivation realm was exactly ten years ago.
This speed was already quite fast. The influence of the Spiritual Root on the Body Refining Technique isn’t as significant as it is on Spiritual Power. Zhuo Ming’s rapid progression is mainly due to her having the same abundant resources as her master.
The Superior Quality Clear Bamboo Spirit Rice she cultivated, originally meant for Golden Core Cultivators, was of no interest to Chen Mobai, so he left it all for her to use in body forging.
Precious Third Order Spirit Rice, along with a sufficient amount of Second Order High Grade Spirit Rice, the endless supply of demonic beast meat sent from Cloud Dream Marsh, and the Longevity Tree Sap gifted by Chen Mobai, allowed Zhuo Ming to make such rapid progress to the fourth layer of the Ninefold Law Body without consuming elixirs.
After sharing the good news, Liu Wenbo’s expression became serious as he started discussing the second matter.
