I Have A Cultivation World-Chapter 2585 - 1175: Immortal Book Jade Slip of the Jellyfish Palace (Part 2)
Previously, Chen Mobai had slain a million demons of the Desolate Sea, including the inner cores of powerful demonic beasts like the Green Sea Great King, which over the years had been gradually refined by Qing Nu into elixirs to enhance her cultivation level.
Coupled with the rapid absorption and devouring characteristics of the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture, she had actually reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Early Stage a long time ago, just wanting to consolidate her foundation a bit.
But now, she felt it was about time.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai personally assisted Qing Nu in protecting her, and the latter did not disappoint him. After consuming the long-prepared barrier-breaking elixir, she easily broke through the bottleneck and advanced to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
"In forty years, your speed has taken you from entering the Nascent Soul stage to the middle stage. Even within the Immortal Gate, this is among the top ranks."
Chen Mobai calculated the time when Qing Nu formed her Nascent Soul and could not help but smile.
"It’s still a bit slow. The top Taoist children and saintesses in the Tianhe Realm can reach Nascent Soul Completion in just about two cycles of sixty years."
Qing Nu, however, was somewhat dissatisfied with her speed. Over the years, she often corresponded with Qi Jiannu of the Dao Morale Sect, and the people she interacted with were the top female cultivators like the Azure Fall Palace Master and Taixu Saintess from the East Continent. She set her standards based on them.
"Among the East Continent, only Ye Qing and I can reach Perfection in two cycles, the average being around two hundred years. Your cultivation of the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture becomes increasingly rapid, and with the aid of elixirs, I estimate you will be as fast as Ye Qing."
Chen Mobai roughly estimated Qing Nu’s cultivation speed and said.
He was sure she couldn’t catch up to him, but achieving Nascent Soul Completion in two cycles was possible.
"I wasn’t in such a hurry initially, but now that you’ve reached the Middle Stage of Deity Transformation, I’m truly afraid that one day you’ll suddenly ascend and leave, unable to fulfill your promise to stay with me."
Qing Nu expressed her reason for wanting to rapidly break through her cultivation level. Chen Mobai was greatly touched upon hearing this and embraced her.
"Rest assured, I have already comprehended the Void Great Dao in the Purple Cloud Palace this time, so even if I ascend and leave, I might be able to descend again."
Upon hearing this, Qing Nu was slightly relieved.
She didn’t think about hiding in the Immortal Gate with Chen Mobai then, as she believed the Immortal Gate and the Tianhe Realm’s Great Dao rules were the same—cultivating the Void led to ascension, merely at opposite ends of the cosmic starry sky.
Perhaps this was why no one had ever cultivated the Void within the Immortal Gate.
"However, the earlier you achieve Deity Transformation, the more stable the sacred place position of the Five Elements Sect will be. In the recent battle with the Mysterious Sea Monster Race, we also killed many Fourth Rank Monsters. I’ve asked Senior Brother Fu to deliver all the inner cores to you."
After a moment of intimacy with his beloved wife, Chen Mobai spoke to Qing Nu, who was nestled in his embrace.
The Five Elements Sect spent massive resources, allowing the righteous cultivators of the Eastern Continent to hunt the Mysterious Sea Monsters. Naturally, the inner cores and other parts of the demonic beasts belonged to them. To facilitate handling, they were processed and preserved directly on-site at the East Barbarians’ area.
The most precious inner core resources were in the hands of Fu Zongjue, the person in charge at the frontline.
"Okay."
Qing Nu nodded obediently.
After reassuring his beloved wife, Chen Mobai went back to the Immortal Gate.
The Five Elements Sect was now on the right track, and he didn’t need to worry about various issues.
Chen Mobai was considering stepping down, but E Yun’s Core Formation cultivation level was a bit insufficient. As the sect leader of the sacred place, one should at least reach Nascent Soul Formation, so he continued to hold the title, though he was entirely hands-off.
...
Above the Mysterious Sea, Ku Zhu sat at the highest point of the treasure ship, placing the refined flying sword across his knees, communing with the newly born sword spirit with his sword intent, nurturing and enhancing its spirituality.
The person in charge of this treasure ship was Mysterious Water from the Yi Yuan Dao Palace.
Before leaving, she had already obtained an advance portion of the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture from the Five Elements Sect, so she spent most of her time on the ship cultivating in the cultivation room.
Because Ku Zhu was a reserved person, he had only communicated with Mysterious Water once when boarding the ship. The rest of the time, they practiced independently without interfering with each other.
That night, after Ku Zhu completed his commune spirit with the flying sword, he suddenly became alert.
"It seems there are some demon beasts following us. I’ll go and slay them."
Mysterious Water inside the cabin was a bit surprised to hear Ku Zhu’s voice transmission, but didn’t think much of it.
"I should go. According to the Sect Master’s orders, I should be the one escorting you, since you’re a guest..."
Before Mysterious Water could finish her voice transmission, she discovered that Ku Zhu had already vanished on the spot. In an instant, he had used sword escape to move beyond her divine sense’s range.
[This person is actually so powerful!]
At this moment, Mysterious Water realized that this Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator from the East Barbarians, though young, far surpassed her in cultivation level, causing her to be secretly astonished.
As an elder of the Yi Yuan Dao Palace, although she hadn’t managed to attain the position of Water Virtue Sect Leader, her cultivation level had reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage peak, just half a step away from breaking through. In the East Land, she was considered a strong figure.
She originally thought that even the Nascent Soul cultivators of the East Barbarians, even if they were sword cultivators, would at most be comparable to Mo Douguang from the main lineage.
But now, seeing Ku Zhu’s actual cultivation was above her own.
It might even be beyond the Nascent Soul Late Stage, exuding an aura of completion.
As the outer sect elder in charge of intelligence, Mysterious Water was familiar with Ku Zhu. Calculating with her fingers, she found he had only achieved Nascent Soul Formation for less than two hundred years.
This was already at the level of top Taoist children and saintesses.
No wonder the Sect Master treated him so politely and even had us send a treasure ship for him.
Thinking of this, Mysterious Water felt a strong curiosity towards Ku Zhu.
At this time, Ku Zhu, having achieved unity of man and sword, swiftly traversed the sea’s surface at the speed of Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound. Amidst the dazzling and chilling sword lights, a Fourth Rank Monster that had hidden its aura in the seabed was already slain by him.
Sweeping the sword light, a dark green inner core fell into Ku Zhu’s hands.
After slaying this monster, his sword light blossomed again, turning some Rank-3 and Rank-2 demon beasts into corpses.
Until the sea surface was dyed red and no demon beast auras were sensed within his divine perception, Ku Zhu finally stopped.
This slaughter also somewhat strengthened the spirituality of the newly born sword spirit of the flying sword.
However, after withdrawing his sword, he still didn’t leave.
After waiting for a while on the sea surface, a pitch-black reef suddenly emerged from the seabed.
The familiar black-robed cultivator atop the reef caused Ku Zhu to frown.
He had detected the unique fluctuations of Submerged Abyss Island released by him, which was why he found an excuse to leave the treasure ship.
"It seems your offering of the Sun God Tree gained the favor of the Eastern Wilderness Blue Emperor, who is truly a sage that repays kindness."
The black-robed cultivator looked at the lifebound flying sword with a newly established spirituality, hovering beside Ku Zhu, and commented with emotion. Previously, he had seen this flying sword. The roughly refined technique only managed a Fourth Rank quality due to the Rank-5 materials.
But now, not only was the sword qi pure, its spirituality was active, and its sword body was clear without impurities. This indicated that as long as its spirituality was strong enough, it could easily advance to Rank-5.
Throughout the Tianhe Realm, only Chen Mobai possessed such artifact refining mastery.
"Is there something you need?"
Ku Zhu merely asked this one question in response. He was internally worried about whether the unsealing of the Four Seas Bottle had been detected by him.
However, it was clear that the bottle stopper refined by Chen Mobai was impressive, as the black-robed cultivator was completely unaware.
"Here!"
The black-robed cultivator took out a jade vial from his sleeve and tossed it in mid-air towards Ku Zhu, who caught it without opening it, waiting for the former to explain.
"With your current cultivation, you would find heading to the West Continent to seek revenge at the Thunder Zen Temple is doomed to fail."
"You are, after all, a successor handpicked by me from Submerged Abyss Island, so I don’t wish for you to perish in the West Continent."
"Now your cultivation level has reached Nascent Soul Completion. Go to the West Continent and slay enough Nascent Soul cultivators, and you can fully unseal the Four Seas Bottle. When the time comes, infuse the Tianyuan Dao Fruit into your body and, with this Dan, the hope of breaking through to Divinity Transformation is not small."
"Once you achieve Divinity Transformation, you can truly inherit all of Submerged Abyss Island; don’t disappoint me."
After hearing these words, Ku Zhu frowned slightly and asked, "What kind of Dan is this?"
The black-robed cultivator replied, "Communicating Holy Spirit Pill."
