Chapter 956: Chapter 525 Golden Flame (Additional Update 1)_2 Chapter 956: Chapter 525 Golden Flame (Additional Update 1)_2 With the cultivation of the Red Flame Sword Jue reaching this point, it was possible to sublimate the Green Flames Sword Slaughter into a move called “Flame Sun Slash,” touted to be able to fuse together all tangible matter, invincible against all.
Above the Flame Sun Slash was the “Extreme Sun Slash,” the power of Rank-4, proclaimed to cut through anything and everything.
If one could master the Extreme Sun Slash, then it meant the Red Flame Sword Jue had been cultivated to its limit, and one could also draw that Rank-4 “Great Sun Sword Talisman”.
The sight of Chen Mobai using Pure Yang Fire to melt the Ghost Cultivator indeed bore a striking resemblance to the Golden Flame, therefore, it was no wonder that Fu Zongjue had been mistaken.
“Is this a branch technique of the Burning Heaven Purifying World Fire?”
At this moment, the Underworld official also retrieved from his ancient memories an image similar to the Pure Yang Fire.
In the past, Ancestor Hunyuan achieved the unity of the Five Elements. With but a thought, he could transform the power of any one of the Five Elements. He also used the perfected Red Flame Sword Jue when he ventured into the Yellow Springs Path.
The origin of this cultivation technique stemmed from Fen Tianjing Di, which was recognized in the history of the East Land as the orthodox great method most effective at restraining malevolent spirits. Caught unprepared on the Yellow Springs Path, the Ghost Cultivators were annihilated by Ancestor Hunyuan, who killed two Rank-4 Ghost Cultivators.
“A mere little guy who has just reached Core Formation could not possibly condense the Golden Flame; it must be a talisman left by Hun Yuan. Such a thing cannot be plentiful…”
Although he thought this way, the Underworld official did not dare to take risks. He saw his meticulously refined Golden Jade Corpse completely melted by the white-gold flames and immediately fled without looking back.
As for Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue, they had no intention of pursuing the enemy.
Their original purpose was simply to drive the enemy away. Moreover, they were still unaware of how many Ghost Cultivators from the Yellow Springs Path were lurking in the dark; it was very possible that the enemy was luring them into a trap.
Out of caution, Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue even retreated back into the Array of Ten Thousand Woods.
About half an hour later, Mo Douguang, who received the news, also arrived via the teleportation array.
“Ghost Cultivator!”
Hearing about the identity of the intruder, he also couldn’t help but be slightly surprised.
In days past, after Ancestor Hunyuan returned grievously injured from his incursion into the Yellow Springs Path, he still managed to lead the Five Elements Sect to eradicate all the Ghost Cultivators that had reached the living world and re-seal the Underworld.
That battle was arguably the most ferocious in the Eastern Wilderness in recent decades and marked the turning point of the Five Elements Sect from prosperity to decline.
“Brother Zhou might have anticipated this, leaving the Golden Flame Sword Talisman to Junior Brother Chen. That powerful Ghost Cultivator from the Yellow Springs Path was severely injured and has fled.”
Fu Zongjue recounted the details of the battle, and Mo Douguang nodded repeatedly, his gaze involuntarily turning to Chen Mobai.
The Golden Flame Sword Talisman was a Third Rank Superior Grade talisman, and while triggering it wasn’t difficult, to control it with ease one needed to have cultivated the Red Flame Sword Jue to an extremely profound realm.
After receiving the Primordial True Qi in the past, Mo Douguang also attempted the path of uniting the Five Elements.
He even condensed fifteen Green Flames Sword Slaughters to prepare for cultivating the Primordial Dao Fruit in the future.
Yet even with his Sword Dao Realm and cultivation level, he merely managed to condense the Golden Flame with great difficulty, and controlling it was quite strenuous.
“Junior Brother Chen truly is a natural-born genius.”
Upon hearing Mo Douguang’s praise, Chen Mobai repeatedly waved his hands. Although he had comprehended the entire Red Flame Sword Jue thanks to his Fire Spirit Body and Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, he had never actually spent any effort on cultivating it. If it evolved into a teaching session, he would definitely be exposed.
“After this battle, the Ghost Cultivator should not come again, but just to be on the safe side, I’ll stay here,”
Mo Douguang took the initiative to offer to stay behind, something that Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue were naturally extremely happy about.
“Thank you both for guarding the place; I’ll go deal with some sect affairs.”
After talking for a while, Chen Mobai thought the time was about right, so he excused himself and returned to Shenmu Hall.
“Greetings, Sect Leader!”
Seeing him come in, everyone showed a look of respect, standing in two rows to offer their salutations. The intense battle between Chen Mobai and the Ghost Cultivator was witnessed by everyone below.
In the eyes of all the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, their Sect Leader was now indisputably the number one Sword Cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness, with unmatched combat power.
“Have you all filled it out? Then let’s count the votes!”
After taking his place as the Sect Leader, Chen Mobai asked Luo Xue’er at his side. Upon receiving a positive response, he gestured for her to open the box that contained all the votes from the Foundation Establishment Practitioners.
This task would have been best suited for Chu Zuoshu to perform, but now he was wholly focused on reaching Core Formation, and since stepping down, he no longer left his residence.
Even the voting slips were delivered by Yue Zutao on his behalf.
[It seems we need to establish a cabinet to help handle these trivial matters!]
The process of voting and vote counting was a first for the Divine Wood Sect, and Luo Xue’er was not quite accustomed to it, making some mistakes along the way, Chen Mobai noticed this and contemplated it internally.
The new cabinet required trustworthy people who could execute his intentions, preferably younger individuals, and naturally, Chen Mobai trusted his own disciples the most.
However, it was necessary to avoid any appearance of favoritism, and Liu Wenbo also had to manage the Little Nan Mountain Shop, handling business on his behalf. If he were to take on sect affairs as well, his power might become too great, which could, in turn, affect his cultivation.
Zhuo Ming was even less suitable, better he stick to farming.
That left E Yun, Yuan Chiye, Yue Zutao, Yu Lian, Yan Jinye, Qi Rui, Xi Jinghuo, and others.
Among them, E Yun was the most suited to take charge of the cabinet, but he was to succeed him as Sect Leader and needed to be appointed as Town Guard first.
Compared to E Yun, Yuan Chiye seemed somewhat immature.
Yue Zutao’s capabilities were not inferior to E Yun’s, but it was uncertain whether he would be willing to take the position.
If all else failed, they could rehire Meng Hongfan and have him cover the position for a while.
As Chen Mobai sat in the Sect Leader’s seat contemplating, Luo Xue’er had already finished vote counting for all Foundation Establishment practitioners.
The highest-voted town guards for the six countries were Zhou Wangshen, Hong He, E Yun, Yan Yuanhao, Wei Liuting, and Dong Xuanze.
“If you take up the town guard position, you will no longer be able to hold your duties within the sect. Have you all considered this thoroughly?”
Chen Mobai said to Yan Yuanhao, Wei Liuting, and Dong Xuanze, who were the deputy heads of the Body Forging Division, Formation Division, and Talisman Making Department, respectively. They had come forth to compete for the town guard position, evidently also eyeing the core formation opportunity.
The reason Chu Zuoshu had hastened his resignation was the spread of news that he had obtained a Core Formation Spiritual Medicine.
The upper echelons of the sect’s Foundation Establishment practitioners had guessed that the sect had obtained an alchemy recipe that could assist in core formation, and even Chen Mobai’s youthful core formation success was owed to this.
For several reasons combined, Yan Yuanhao and the other two were willing to give up the positions they had fought for years to obtain, to compete for the Sect Leader’s post.
“We have all thought it through clearly!”
After receiving affirmative responses, Chen Mobai nodded, then gestured to Luo Xue’er to float a simple map of the Eastern Wilderness in the air above the hall.
Chen Mobai then stood up from his seat and began to delineate territories with a pointed finger.
“Sky Country’s town guard will be Zhou Wangshen.”
“Rock Country’s town guard, E Yun.”
“Rainbow Country’s town guard, Yan Yuanhao.”
“Lei Nation’s town guard, Wei Liuting.”
“Yun Country’s town guard, Dong Xuanze.”
“Rain Country’s town guard, Hong He.”
After the assignments, the six individuals stepped forward to pay their respects to Chen Mobai and received the seals carved from Golden Yang Wood.
These were magic artifacts crafted by Wang Tingbo, the head of the Artifact Refining Department, made from excellent materials that were of Rank-2 quality and symbols of authority for the town guards of the respective countries.
With the positions confirmed, many were left disheartened, but under Sect Master Chen’s irrevocable decree, the situation was set and could not be changed.
Nighttime.
In the courtyard of Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai was having tea with Yue Zutao.
“Nephew Yue, you’ve guarded Rock Country for over a decade, and now I’ve asked you to return. I truly feel guilty.”
“My path ahead has come to an end; it’s only right that I pave the way for my juniors.”
Yue Zutao appeared quite open-minded about it. During his years as the guard of Rock Country, his steady approach repelled the pressure from the formidable Nanxuan sect, and the development of Northern Abyss City was steadily progressing, following Chen Mobai’s prior planning.
“Nephew Yue, are you aware that I am the Saint Son of the Longevity Sect?”
Chen Mobai suddenly asked a rather strange question, which had already spread throughout the Eastern Wilderness following the core formation ceremony and the earth-shattering battle with Xuan Shu.
Yue Zutao: “With the Sect Leader’s exceptional talent, it’s only natural that you hold the inheritance of a supreme holy land.”
After hearing the response, Chen Mobai smiled faintly and spoke a sentence that caused Yue Zutao’s eyes to widen and his body to tremble with shock.
