Chapter 933: Chapter 514 Secret Technique Chapter 933: Chapter 514 Secret Technique Chen Mobai had long since completed his ten-year task of guarding Rain Country, but afterwards, he did not choose to return to the sect and instead undertook the task of guarding Cloud Dream Marsh.

Apart from him, E Yun did the same.

Because Cloud Dream Marsh was rich in resources, with many areas yet to be developed, with their cultivation level, controlling a Fang Market there made it easier to obtain cultivation resources than at the sect.

Many Foundation Establishment Practitioners in the Divine Wood Sect who still aspired to reach Core Formation took on the task of guarding Cloud Dream Marsh every so often.

Typically, they would guard for ten years, return to the sect to cultivate for ten years, and the cycle would continue…

As Chen Mobai’s previous peerless direct disciple of the sect, Chen Mobai’s talent was highly regarded by everyone in the Divine Wood Sect.

His personality, completely different from Chen Mobai’s steady growth, preferred to put pressure on himself and continuously forced himself to break through realms and improve.

During the minor Foundation Establishment gathering initiated by Yin Qingmei, Hong He confidently sparred with Chen Mobai, only to be defeated without withstanding a single move under the Sword Sha.

Although this was a blow to Hong He, it paradoxically ignited his fighting spirit, making him even more diligent in his cultivation over the next ten-plus years, fighting against demonic beasts and enhancing his cultivation level while also honing his magic duel techniques.

With his own efforts, plus the abundant resources at Cloud Dream Marsh, Hong He finally felt his bottleneck loosen recently.

Without any hesitation, he immediately consumed a precious elixir he had painstakingly refined and wholeheartedly broke through, finally advancing to the late phase of Foundation Establishment after one year, and even mastered a Rank-3 spell.

Following his breakthrough, Hong He felt as if the sky was vast and the mountains and rivers long; everywhere he looked, every grass and tree was filled with vitality.

Just as he couldn’t help but laugh heartily, preparing to return to the sect to rechallenge Chen Mobai’s Sword Sha, a piece of shocking news changed his expression dramatically.

What? The sect and Nanxuan Sect have gone to war in Rock Country?

Without the care of Zhou Laozu, the Divine Wood Sect was surely no match for Nanxuan Sect, and they also had to guard against Liu Jia Mountain, which had been watching covetously for some time.

Upon hearing this news, Hong He instantly analyzed the situation between both sides, and just as he was preparing to take the Teleportation Array to Rock Country to aid his sect, the Fang Market director Wei Chunfu reported to him with a relaxed expression that the war was already over.

“It’s over? Did we lose?”

Hong He had considered all the powers in the Eastern Wilderness and felt the sect’s chances of victory were less than twenty percent. However, upon seeing Wei Chunfu’s easygoing expression, he felt something was amiss.

“We won. Nanxuan Sect’s headquarters at Baose Mountain Array has been breached by our sect, the Golden Core Cultivator Nanxuan Jing was killed by our sect’s Elder Chen on the battlefield, and Golden Cliff’s Gui Xian slew Nanxuan sect’s Elder South Teacher Dao with his sword. Only Zhao Xuankang managed to escape.”

“Elder Chen? Is he an external ally invited from outside the Barren by the two elderly ancestors?”

Hong He asked in surprise, as there were no Golden Core Cultivators surnamed Chen in the Eastern Wilderness.

“It’s Elder Gui Xian, Chen Guixian. He had left Giant Tree Ridge to find a secluded place for Core Formation and succeeded just in time for the great battle between our sect and Nanxuan sect.”

“Nanxuan Jing, thinking highly of his own cultivation level, was unaware that Elder Chen was a peerless Sword Cultivation Genius with talent even greater than Elder Mo. After achieving Core Formation, his Sword Dao Realm reached an unfathomable level.”

“It’s said that Elder Chen conquered Tribulation Thunder with his sword, with one sword summoning divine punishment and two swords defeating the enemy. Finally, with a single breath, he exhibited the profound Sword Practicing into Marrow, effortlessly beheading Nanxuan Jing and his unparalleled heroism was something to long for just thinking about it.”

Having heard Wei Chunfu’s words, Hong He stood there dumbfounded for a long time without speaking.

He’s achieved Core Formation!?

And I have just reached the late phase of Foundation Establishment!

Thinking back to when he emerged from seclusion and wanted to ask Chen Mobai about the Sword Sha using his Rank-3 Bi Bo Condensed Light, Hong He felt his cheeks grow slightly warm.

Fortunately, at that time he had only thought about it in his mind and had not yet spoken out to pressure himself.

Hong He liked having pressure, but challenging Core Formation as a Foundation Establishment Practitioner wasn’t pressure, it was madness.

How could he cultivate so quickly?

After regaining his composure, Hong He was shocked to learn that Chen Mobai had progressed from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation in just over twenty years.

Before joining the Divine Wood Sect, Hong He had had a fortunate encounter, which is why he could cultivate nearly as fast as someone with a Heavenly Spiritual Root and make rapid progress.

And in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he had gained yet another divine opportunity.

Only with these could he have advanced swiftly after Foundation Establishment and cultivated to the late phase in just thirty years.

Yin Qingmei, with her Heavenly Spiritual Root, didn’t cultivate as fast as him.

It was precisely because of this that he felt confident he could chase after Chen Mobai and even surpass him.

But now, he was being told that the very target he wanted to chase had achieved Core Formation!

This… seems beyond reach!

Although Hong He had great confidence in himself, he still held awe for the major milestone of Core Formation, and even with his rich opportunities, he wasn’t completely certain of success.

And yet, Chen Mobai had succeeded on his first try after reaching Foundation Establishment Completion!?

Hong He thought deeply, considering Elder Chen’s identity as a Sword Cultivator, and the environment before and after Core Formation, and felt he had vaguely guessed some “truths.”

It must have been under the immense pressure from Nanxuan Sect, with the strong sense of responsibility to carry the sect’s banner, coupled with an indomitable Sword Dao will and the firm belief of success or death, that Elder Chen took the step to Core Formation.
