Chapter 1325: Chapter 730: Dividing the Dan (7k) Chapter 1325: Chapter 730: Dividing the Dan (7k) Yu Lian hesitated after hearing this but still voiced the dream he had harbored since childhood.
“Sect Leader, I want to become a swordsmith.”
A swordsmith?
Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised.
This was one type of Artifact Refiner, but because Flying Swords are most needed by Cultivators among all artifacts, in the Tianhe Realm, the profession of a swordsmith was specifically distinguished.
“Alright, next time I will bring over all the materials related to Artifact Refining from the sect, and you can choose the content related to swordsmithing to study.”
After Chen Mobai finished speaking, he thought that if Yu Lian were to stay here for a long time, he needed to ensure that his Cultivation Technique was maintained.
So, he asked about Yu Lian’s Cultivation progress.
Yu Lian, with his exceptional Metal Spirit Root, was cultivating the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture.
This technique was previously considered one of the signature techniques of the Wangu Sect, capable of being cultivated up to the Core Formation Late Stage.
Chen Mobai had once helped him deduce the realm of Foundation Establishment and was familiar with it, so it did not take long for him to guide Yu Lian through the pathway to Foundation Establishment Completion using a Formless Puppet.
Although Yu Lian’s body was very weak, he still mustered his energy and eagerly noted down every word Chen Mobai spoke.
This was an opportunity that all the Eastern Wasteland Cultivators dreamed of.
After listening, Yu Lian’s understanding of the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture jumped up a level, and at least he had no doubts about how to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Late Phase.
“This is the original scripture of the All Laws Persona, one of the Twenty-Four Great Dao Techniques of the Longevity Sect, named ‘External Incarnation.’ I will also pass this on to you. If you can cultivate it successfully, I will present you with Creation upon your emergence.”
Afraid that Yu Lian would be bored, Chen Mobai assigned him another task.
After all, it was Yu Lian who had gifted him the All Laws Persona, so this was somewhat of a repayment of karma.
“Thank you, Sect Leader, for bestowing the technique upon me!”
After inscribing the External Incarnation on the Jade Slip, Chen Mobai also left Yu Lian with fifty Top-grade Spirit Stones, which were enough for him to cultivate to Foundation Establishment Completion.
“Sect Leader, there’s one more thing. I don’t know if it’s true, but Kong Lingling said that after her Core Formation, she went to the Dongtu Ice Heaven Palace and left a Soul Lantern there.”
Upon hearing Yu Lian’s words, Chen Mobai’s expression became slightly grave.
The reason why the Ancestor Hunyuan had maintained the Snow-blowing Palace was precisely because they had the support of the Ice Palace in the background.
This power was established from the remnants of a Holy Land. Although there was now only a single Nascent Soul overseeing it, no one knew whether there was still some legacy from the Holy Land remaining.
It was common knowledge in the Eastern Wilderness that after Core Formation, each generation of Snow-blowing Palace Cultivators would make a trip to the East Land.
If everything Kong Lingling had confided to Yu Lian were true, then her death should already be known to the Ice Palace by now.
Within the entire Eastern Wilderness, only their Five Elements Sect could have killed Kong Lingling silently and without a trace.
Unable to conceal the matter, Chen Mobai quickly thought of the best solution.
“It seems we inevitably need to report this after all.”
Although in the Eastern Wilderness they were not overly fearful of the Ice Palace, Chen Mobai, upon holding the moral high ground, was not inclined to engage in a major conflict with the Ice Palace.
After making Yu Lian recall everything Kong Lingling had said in full detail, Chen Mobai left the place.
Outside the ice wall, upon hearing about Kong Lingling’s Soul Lantern in the Ice Palace, both Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue also showed a subtle change in their expressions.
After the great calamity, the Holy Land of ice and snow had fractured, splitting into several Nascent Soul Major Factions.
The Ice Heaven Palace was one of them, and due to their ancestral mentor’s connection to the Snow-blowing Palace, they found the news to be credible.
“Junior Brother, what do you think?”
Zhou Shengqing asked directly for Chen Mobai’s opinion.
If it came to a fight, with their home advantage, they certainly would not fear the Ice Palace.
But if they could avoid a confrontation, it would be best.
After all, the Ice Palace had some influence in the East Land; if they called upon a few Nascent Soul friends, they might only be able to defend their Main Camp at Giant Tree Ridge.
“What about reporting to the Jiutian Dangmo Sect?”
Chen Mobai voiced his idea.
This?
Zhou Shengqing hesitated, glancing at Fu Zongjue beside him. The latter, frowning and looking at the Demonic Sacred Embryo in his care, finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
“Once the Jiutian Dangmo Sect arrives, we will all need to swear on our Dao Heart, so let’s align our statements first.”
Chen Mobai saw that Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue agreed, and nodded as he began to outline his plan.
They did not need to lie, just tell the truth: they had been searching for a missing disciple and found this mysterious Cave, where they discovered Kong Lingling engaging in demonic practices.
Since they could not confirm whether the Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation was a Demonic Cultivation Technique, they needed a consistent story: that Kong Lingling brutally murdered their sect’s Disciple Fu Xingzhou and even imprisoned Yu Lian, extracting his Essence Blood and Spiritual Power daily.
With this ample reason, their suspicion of Kong Lingling practicing a Demonic Cultivation Technique, coupled with concern for their disciples’ safety, justified their action in executing her.
By the time the Jiutian Dangmo Sect and Ice Palace representatives arrived, all they needed to do was bring them here to see the scattered corpses beyond the ice wall and the imprisoned Yu Lian as the most convincing evidence.
“Let’s just follow what Junior Brother has suggested.”
After hearing the plan, Zhou Shengqing nodded in agreement. With this arrangement, it was estimated that they would have to hand over the Demonic Sacred Embryo.
Only, there was one issue.
