I Have A Cultivation World-Chapter 2582 - 1173: Millennium Plans, Ten-Thousand-Year Grand Designs (Part 2)
Meanwhile, Luo Yixuan cast the Ganlin Rainfall Technique at the same moment. Zhuo Ming scattered a vial of Rank-5 Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, mixing it into the rain to water the Sun God Tree that had just been planted into the earth of Wandering Mountain.
"Master, the seal can be lifted now!"
After Zhuo Ming finished her sensing with All Things Spiritual Communication, she spoke to Chen Mobai, who nodded. The radiance from the Primordial Bead illuminated the pit, dissolving a restriction at the severed section of the Divine Tree meant to preserve its spirituality.
With the removal of this restriction, the spiritual light of the Sun God Tree began to pour out zealously from the cut section, like drops of dense golden liquid, causing the nearby ground to emit smoke, seemingly unable to withstand such high temperatures.
Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming, as master and disciple, one controlled the power of the Divine Tree while the other regulated the spirit vein of Wandering Mountain, allowing the originally incompatible forces of nature to start finding a harmonious balance.
This process was incredibly complex and challenging, and if it had been other God-Transcending cultivators from the Tianhe Realm or Fifth Rank Spirit Plant Masters attempting it, they likely would have failed.
However, Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming worked together seamlessly, one suppressing the power of the unsealed Rank-5 Sun God Tree, while the other continuously adjusted and matched using All Things Spiritual Communication. Gradually, the dimming branches and leaves of the tree suddenly brightened for a moment.
At that instant, sunlight showered down from beyond the sky, beginning to be absorbed by the emerald-golden leaves.
Chen Mobai, with Echoes in the Void always active, clearly heard the sprouting of a bud at the break, which quickly grew into roots under the nourishment of the earth’s energy controlled by Zhuo Ming, penetrating deep into Wandering Mountain.
With the initial root established, a second soon followed as the root system spread like a web. The Sun God Tree, which had been continually leaking spiritual liquid, finally adapted to the spirit vein environment of Wandering Mountain.
This was just the beginning, though; it would require maintenance for a period of time until both sides completely harmonized, allowing them to rest assured.
But for the master and disciple duo, reaching this stage already counted as success.
For what remained was Zhuo Ming’s area of expertise.
"Ming’er, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Mobai withdrew the Thousand Swords Dharma Body and looked at Zhuo Ming, who was pale from severe spiritual power depletion. He couldn’t help but summon the Primordial Bead, using the Co-cultivation Method to convert his Primordial True Qi into Thick Virtue True Qi, transferring it into her body.
As a God-Transcending cultivator, Chen Mobai could refine more spiritual energy in a single breath than Zhuo Ming could altogether. With his aid, she quickly felt her dantian and qi sea fill, and even her Gold Core slightly expanded.
"It is an honor for a disciple to be able to assist the master."
After recovering, Zhuo Ming stood up and promptly bowed to Chen Mobai.
Luo Yixuan watched from the side, seeing that her master only had eyes for her senior sister, and once again activated the Ganlin Rainfall Technique to provide supplementary watering for the freshly rooted Sun God Tree.
"Xuan, you’ve worked hard as well."
Chen Mobai said with a smile, causing Luo Yixuan to beam with joy, her movements in casting spells becoming even more diligent.
For the time being, the master and his two disciples stayed at Wandering Mountain to tend to the newly planted Sun God Tree.
With Zhuo Ming present, Chen Mobai essentially had nothing to do.
However, upon hearing that he’d emerged from seclusion, responsible figures from various sectors of the East Barbarians area immediately came to pay their respects.
For instance, Chen Lingming, who was in charge of the Treasure Ship, upon seeing the command token brought by Ku Zhu, deployed a Rank-4 Treasure Ship to escort it to the West Continent.
"Sect Leader, in the future, the sect will surely not be limited to the East Continent. This time, I’ve arranged for Elder Mysterious Water to escort Ku Zhu to the West Continent and simultaneously scout out the conditions there to see if our sect’s influence can extend that way."
While reporting, Chen Lingming also mentioned the arrangements he had made.
After the great war with the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, Chen Mobai opened the exchange rights of the Five Elements Immortal Scripture to Yi Yuan Dao Palace, vastly boosting the enthusiasm of the Nascent Soul cultivators there. Mysterious Water, Yan Huo, and others, who used to be lazy by nature, were now scrambling to undertake the Five Elements Sect’s main tasks to accumulate contributions.
Chen Lingming, serving as the communicator between the Five Elements Sect and Yi Yuan Dao Palace, naturally sought ways to help with arrangements.
This reconnaissance mission to the West Continent, to gather intelligence on various forces, was his submission.
There was no obstruction from Northern Abyss City, which approved it without issue, allowing Chen Lingming to allocate resources himself. Because Yan Huo’s artifact refining skills were superior, he stayed at the Treasure Ship Factory, while Mysterious Water took this mission.
"Indeed, the younger generation is quick-witted, and beginning to explore the other territories and forces across the Five Continents and Four Seas is indeed necessary. I’ve neglected this while engaged in seclusion these past years..."
Chen Mobai highly appreciated Chen Lingming’s actions.
The two even engaged in a thorough discussion about the future development trend of the Five Elements Sect. Chen Mobai discovered that, while Chen Lingming’s thinking had its local limitations, he possessed intense comprehension and learning abilities. Anything Chen Mobai mentioned just once would be meticulously remembered and held as guidelines to be steadfastly executed.
This realization made Chen Mobai feel he might have decided on his successor too early, as Chen Lingming seemed more suitable than E Yun.
At the point of inspiration, Chen Mobai directly condensed water vapor, sketching a map of the Five Continents and Four Seas in the void atop the mountain, while sharing his grand vision with Chen Lingming:
"The Lands of the Eastern Continent, although vast, will eventually be fully developed by our human race’s Righteous Path. This is also part of the Three Great Sacred Lands’ plan for the next few millennia— as the number of cultivators grows, the land will no longer suffice, prompting exploratory developments. For this, our Five Elements Sect can assist. As long as I live for another day, our share of resources will not diminish."
"However, our Five Elements Sect’s territory lies within the Three Regions of the Eastern Continent Frontier, meaning our control over the interior lands of the ruins cannot match Dao Morale Sect’s and others. Therefore, I plan to begin progressively expanding overseas after solidifying the sect’s existing holdings."
"A generation ago, I eradicated the elite of the Barren Sea Demon Tribe, rendering them no longer a threat. With our sect’s army, we could easily seize control. However, the Barren Sea is resource-poor, and with the sect being understaffed, we’ve merely occupied the near seas of East Wu, primarily focusing on trade and employing local powers like Flying Sand Sect to gather needed resources."
"The Mysterious Sea, in contrast, has resources far exceeding those of the Barren Sea and even the East Continent. Although the old Flood Dragon was slain by me, smaller Flood Dragons remain, and undoubtedly many powerful demonic beasts are still hidden and dormant in the sea’s depths. Therefore, after assimilating the East Barbarians’ territory, our sect’s goal is to establish a strong Five Elements Treasure Ship fleet along the coast, using absolute strength to gradually encroach into the Mysterious Sea’s depths, eventually assimilating the entire Mysterious Sea under our banner."
"Beyond the Mysterious Sea lies the West Continent, arguably the weakest of the Five Continents and Four Seas. After claiming the Mysterious Sea, our sect’s power will assuredly dominate the West Continent. It’s not about conquest but rather the notion that the Five Elements Sect can, like the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, establish Sacred Land branches across the Five Continents— possibly even the Four Seas— preaching benevolence and righteousness, imparting teachings of virtue."
Here, Chen Mobai paused.
If he truly could accomplish all he envisioned, the Fruit of Dao’s Rule of the Five Elements Sect would likely become unimaginably strong, beyond what the Immortal Gate could comprehend.
"Sect Master’s grand vision and great strategies, the disciple is in awe. One day, the Sect Master’s love and righteousness will be praised throughout the entire Five Continents and Four Seas!"
Chen Lingming seemed genuinely thrilled, possibly excited by Chen Mobai’s grand plans, his face slightly flushed as he spoke.
"To accomplish this will take at least a millennium, perhaps even ten thousand years. By then, I will likely be compelled to ascend, so it will require generation after generation of successors to inherit my will. You are quite remarkable."
Chen Mobai spoke sincerely to Chen Lingming, considering his potential, combined with the passing down of the Primordial Dao Fruit and the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, the hope of achieving Divinity Transformation was significant.
Chen Mobai harbored no sectarian bias, acknowledging that the Five Elements Sect would eventually need a strong sect leader. Although E Yun might only reach Nascent Soul, if Chen Lingming demonstrated outstanding performance and noteworthy accomplishments, he was willing to make him the third-generation sect master.
Chen Lingming, upon hearing Chen Mobai’s words, felt somewhat overwhelmed by the honor. Under Luo Yixuan’s penetrating gaze, he humbly said, "The sect master has excellent successors like Senior Sister Zhuo. This disciple is too ashamed to assume such responsibility."
