Chapter 946: I love you Chapter 946: I love you “`
Divine Wood Sect is making them choose sides.
As long as they accept the Divine Wood Sect’s Spirit Rice seedlings, it’s clear in the eyes of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace that they would be a vassal family to the Divine Wood Sect.
Luckily, they were cautious; otherwise, they would have plunged headfirst into the collision of the two great forces, and in the future, if the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace were to attack, the Lou family could be easily wiped out over such an incident.
It wasn’t just the Lou family ancestors who realized this point.
The Foundation Establishment practitioners not tempted by the Divine Wood Sect’s Spirit Rice seedlings all felt fortunate that their Dao Heart was firm.
Seven days later, Yue Zutao, the Town Guard of Rock Country, returned personally.
“Xuan Shu has reopened the Nanxuan sect!”
After hearing this news, Chen Mobai and the others exchanged glances, simultaneously heaving a sigh of relief.
Fu Zongjue, “That Great Elder of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace really couldn’t bear to part with his own lifespan. As long as ‘Nascent Soul Formation’ does not come, we still have room to maneuver.”
Chen Mobai, “And what about Zhao Xuankang?”
Yue Zutao: “To report to Elder Chen, this reopening of the Nanxuan sect has temporarily not shown Zhao Xuankang’s presence, but considering his level of understanding of the Eastern Wilderness, it’s impossible for him not to come. He is likely hiding in the background, planning to cooperate with Xuan Shu, one in the open and one in the dark.”
Fu Zongjue, “It’s nothing more than the original Nanxuan Jing being replaced by Xuan Shu. The pattern of Rock Country and Sky Country remains unchanged. It is the same as before. If you encounter a Golden Core Cultivator who shamelessly strikes at you, just immediately abandon the territories of the two countries and return to the sect.”
After discussing for a while, the three Golden Core Cultivators quickly came to the decision to wait and see how things would unfold.
Although no Nascent Soul came from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, Xuan Shu was also considered the most top-notch Golden Core below them. If it weren’t for Chen Mobai using the Purple Electric Sword to drive him away, Giant Tree Ridge might have already been blocked by him alone.
Now for Divine Wood Sect, the biggest task is to guard Zhou Shengqing during his Nascent Soul Formation. For this matter, even if it means surrendering all territory beyond Giant Tree Ridge, it is tolerable.
“Then I’ll head back to Golden Cliff first, call me if you need anything.”
Having confirmed there was nothing else concerning him, Mo Douguang directly left Giant Tree Ridge using the Teleportation Array.
After sending him off, Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue immediately instructed Chu Zuoshu to convene a grand assembly of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, to pass down their directives for the time to come.
Among them, the spread of the Spirit Rice seedlings was deemed particularly important.
This was Chen Mobai’s first step in trying to change the Eastern Wilderness. However, the reason used was to have the Foundation Establishment forces outside the Divine Wood Sect side with them.
To this, both Fu Zongjue and Chu Zuoshu even felt that the strategy was extremely exquisite.
Since this grand assembly of the Divine Wood Sect was the first since Chen Mobai’s Core Formation, everyone was very clear about its importance.
Apart from the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, the Town Guards of various countries also rushed to attend upon receiving the news.
“E Yun, long time no see.”
When E Yun returned, still pondering over how to interact with Chen Mobai, his old friend, Yuan Chiye, who had returned earlier, had already come to find him.
“Yuan Junior Brother, I heard Elder Chen recommended you to be the Town Guard of Rainbow Country, congratulations.”
Aside from the positions of real authority in the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, commanding a country as a Town Guard was the most influential in terms of gathering cultivation resources.
“Oh, it’s nothing, it’s just because the sect has just taken over Rainbow Country, there’s no specific selection process for Town Guard yet. So, Elder Chen let me stand in as a Town Guard. After this sect assembly, perhaps a highly esteemed senior brother or senior sister will take my place.”
Yuan Chiye was very clear about his own weight; it was simply because among the group of Foundation Establishment practitioners who stayed in Rock Country, he and Chen Mobai were the most familiar.
“Junior Brother is being modest. Since Elder Chen has spoken for you, then among the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, no one will make things difficult over this matter.”
Compared to Yuan Chiye, E Yun was even clearer about the operational rules of the Divine Wood Sect system.
The word of a Golden Core Cultivator is everything.
Although Chen Mobai had only recently achieved Core Formation, as a supreme sword cultivator, he vanquished Nanxuan Jing and repelled Xuan Shu with Purple Lightning. His combat power was so formidable that he could be said to be the first in the Eastern Wilderness.
As long as Fu Zongjue does not speak against it, within the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions of the Divine Wood Sect, definitely no one dares to defy Chen Mobai.
“It’s just that I fear some senior brothers and sisters may not be willing to accept this.”
“`
Yuan Chiye smiled wryly as he spoke; E Yun thought for a moment before he also understood what he meant.
Within the Divine Wood Sect, there were still a few elders whose bodies had passed their peak years yet had broken through to the late phase of Foundation Establishment. Their belief in wanting to achieve Core Formation surpassed that of all others.
On ordinary days, they would mostly gather at Yun Meng Ze, all for a slim chance at Core Formation.
And after Chen Mobai rose to prominence and succeeded in Core Formation, they all thought about how to attract the attention of this new elder.
The matter of Yuan Chiye acting as the Town Guard for Rainbow Country was very suitable for them to use as an excuse to draw Elder Chen’s attention.
“Let’s take it one step at a time.”
Though E Yun was clear about Chen Mobai’s character, after the latter’s Core Formation, E Yun did not dare to measure a Golden Core Cultivator by his own thoughts and could only speak to Yuan Chiye in this manner.
At this time, a Foundation Establishment practitioner came to visit.
“Greetings to E Shixiong and Yuan Shixiong.”
The visitor was very familiar to them; he was Chen Mobai’s eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo–who used to be under their command when he just came out of Bud Hall.
Back then, E Yun felt that given Liu Wenbo’s potential, he would at most be a lineage inheritor; Foundation Establishment seemed impossible.
But unexpectedly, after becoming a disciple under Elder Chen, he was now at the same realm as them.
“Please have a seat, Liu Shidi.”
E Yun invited him courteously. However, Liu Wenbo shook his head and uttered a sentence that made the two of them tense.
“My master is currently in the courtyard of Divine Wood City; he’s sent me to invite both Shixiong over for a talk.”
“Liu Shidi, lead the way.”
E Yun and Yuan Chiye dared not keep a Golden Core Cultivator waiting and immediately followed Liu Wenbo to the familiar place.
This courtyard was the sect privilege that E Yun had helped arrange for Chen Mobai when he had just achieved Foundation Establishment. Afterwards, the three of them had also drunk quite a lot of wine here.
Upon entering the gate, they saw the back of a young man in front of a greenish-blue Spirit Tree, pointing and discussing something.
There was also a young girl in village attire by the youth’s side; the two seemed to be discussing Spirit Plant techniques.
“We pay respects to Elder Chen.”X2
As soon as E Yun and Yuan Chiye arrived, they paid their respects to Chen Mobai.
“We don’t need to be so formal among the three of us.”
Although it was impossible to change the custom within the Tianhe Realm that dictated seniority by Cultivation Realm, Chen Mobai still tried to follow the habits he had cultivated since childhood in the Immortal Gate when dealing with his own people.
Zhuo Ming immediately extended her hand and pointed at the ground where the soil swelled and shaped into a round table and several stools on its own.
After inviting E Yun and Yuan Chiye to sit down, Liu Wenbo had already brought out a large jar of Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine from the courtyard storeroom.
“Chu Shizhi told me a few days ago that he wanted to enter retreat to comprehend Nascent Soul and was thinking of stepping down from the Sect Leader position.”
After the three had drunk their first cup, Chen Mobai said something that made the expressions of E Yun and Yuan Chiye change dramatically.
“Who does Elder have in mind to take over?”
Suppressing the tumult in his heart, E Yun put down his cup and asked Chen Mobai.
“Naturally, my inclination is towards you, but your two competitors are just too strong. King Zhou has an outstanding record of meritorious deeds, and Fu Shixiong’s disciple, Hong He, is at the late phase of Foundation Establishment. Compared to them, even with my support, you still have no advantage whatsoever.”
Chen Mobai forthrightly expressed his thoughts to his friend, E Yun.
Owing to the refinement of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, Chu Zuoshu’s resignation to prepare for Nascent Soul Formation came much earlier than previously scheduled, by more than a decade.
He had sensed E Yun’s aura, and although he was now at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, it seemed quite unsteady for assuming the position of Sect Leader.
“I ask for Elder’s guidance!”
