Chapter 216: Chapter 216 Domain Expansion_l
Translator: 549690339
Chen Mobai had no idea that his mere application of liquid spiritual power at the Foundation Establishment level to wield the maximum strength of the Divine Wood Sword had led the Divine Wood Sect to acclaim him as an unparalleled genius in sword cultivation.
There was just one thing on his mind right now.
Defeating his current opponent to avenge his humiliating defeat last year.
“I don’t know what you’re capable of, but against me, you have no choice but to lose.”
Before Chen Mobai could even reply, Mu Yuan took the initiative to speak. After he finished speaking, he directly activated a light-blue talisman.
The Heavenly Wood Talisman!
But unlike Ding Ying, he activated this talisman in conjunction with a lightly gray-green seed.
The moment the seed hit the ground, it immediately sprouted, instantaneously transforming into a three-meter-high tree with a crown as radiant as the morning clouds.
Since Chen Mobai had previously only exchanged for the cultivation method of the Scripture of Longevity and had not exchanged for any corresponding spells, he was unaware that this Heavenly Wood Talisman was the corresponding talisman for the most powerful “Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation” of the Scripture of Longevity. It is also the most perfect and robust magic system in the Divine Wood Sect.
Above Green Light Island, Chen Mobai had already witnessed the prowess of the “Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation”. It includes cultivation of the spirit veins, gathering spiritual energy, attacking with Heavenly Wood Divine Light, defending with a Spirit Leaves Light Shield, and can be regarded as the most all-rounded formation with no blind spots.
The highest culmination of the Scripture of Longevity’s cultivation leads to becoming the formation itself.
Wherever you are, you become a “Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation”, covering heaven and earth with Heavenly Wood Divine Light, sweeping through all directions.
However, cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm certainly cannot achieve this.
Therefore, before the Divine Wood lineage split from the Five Elements Sect, the Hun Yuan ancestor developed the “Heavenly Wood Talisman” to assist Qi refining disciples in using the “Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation”.
The Heavenly Wood Talisman seals within it a spirit of wood which can make the prepared “tree seed” grow instantly, transforming into the spirit tree array eye needed for the “Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation”.
While the grade of this Heavenly Wood Talisman varies, most of its power still depends on the quality level of the tree seed.
Although Ding Ying had a Rank-2 Heavenly Wood Talisman, the tree seed was only at Rank-1 peak. Naturally, it was incredibly powerful when facing the Qi Refining level, but against genuine Rank-2 Sword Qi, it could only end in devastation.
However, the aura of Mu Yuan’s tree seed was different. The luxuriantly verdant spirit tree that blossomed radiated a faint presence, reminding Chen Mobai of the spirit tree he had defended on Green Light Island.
A Rank-2 Qingyang Spirit Tree!
Because Mu Yuan had used this move in his battle against Yuan Chiye, Chen Mobai had already thoroughly investigated his moves.
Even though he was quite confident in his own half-step Foundation Establishment realm, being confident does not mean being arrogant. He made it a point to ask about anything he didn’t understand.
As a second-generation immortal cultivator and practitioner of the dual-phase technique, Xi Jinghuo is very knowledgeable about the Scripture of Longevity.
When Chen Mobai asked, he explained everything about the Heavenly Wood Talisman and tree seeds to him.
Cultivators outside the Eastern Wilderness call the Divine Wood Sect’s move— “Domain Expansion”.
Once the “Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation” is activated in the right spirit vein, even the formidable sword cultivators dare not fight head-on with the Divine Wood Sect’s cultivators.
If it weren’t for the fact that the formation cannot be moved once activated, the Divine Wood Sect would have long dominated the Eastern Wilderness.
However, this weakness is perfectly compensated for in this kind of competition held in a ring with defined borders.
It was precisely by relying on this move that Mu Yuan defeated Yuan Chiye.
“I hope that this time, you can withstand ten moves.”
When Chen Mobai heard the words of Mu Yuan, he recalled last year’s disastrous defeat where he was utterly powerless to fight back.
“Junior brother, that’s exactly what I wanted to tell you.”
But this time, Chen Mobai’s confidence was entirely different.
A mere peak Qi Refining Realm, under the suppression of the half-step Foundation Establishment Realm, could he actually go against the heavens?
At this moment, Mu Yuan sneered and plucked two leaves from the Qingyang Spirit Tree beside him.
He flicked his finger, and a clear layer of Sword Attack Fly Flower appeared on the leaves, akin to two streaming lights, emitting a sharp whistling sound as they shot in front of Chen Mobai.
Mu Yuan’s understanding of the Sword Dao was also commendable, his move of Sword Training to become Gang, as shown in his Leaf Picking technique, reveals his exceptional talent.
Seeing this move, the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect watching the battle under the stage couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
However, those who knew Chen Mobai’s true abilities, like Zhou Wangshen on the second floor of the restaurant, couldn’t help but sneer.
In their opinion, Mu Yuan was like a beginner making a fool of himself before a unique sword cultivation genius.
But it seemed that junior brother Chen did not want to be too harsh on Mu Yuan, he chose not to use his Rainbow Sword Qi realm but instead unleashed a Crimson Flame Sword Talisman.
Two fiery red sword auras burst forth, just enough to resist Mu Yuan’s Sword Attack Fly Flower, causing a huge burst of sparks in mid-air.
“It’s the Crimson Flame Dual Sword Talisman!”
Seeing a talisman bursting with two bright red sword auras, the crowd below the stage was shocked. This kind of talisman, with its extremely low cost-effectiveness, was almost unsellable on the market.
Did he refine it himself?!
Just as this thought flashed through the minds of Zhou Wangshen and others, Chen Mobai took out eight Crimson Flame Sword Talismans with both hands.
The brilliant red sword aura erupted, like a weaving of flowing light, covering Mu Yuan and his Rank-2 Qingyang Spirit Tree.
A green leaf fell, conveniently landing in Mu Yuan’s palm. His potent Longevity Spiritual Power surged out, and he immediately unleashed the “Spirit Leaves Technique” in an instant.
A huge light shield shaped like a giant leaf covered both him and the entire spirit tree, blocking in the incoming net of Crimson Flame Sword Qi.
“My spiritual power is being depleted rapidly. I need to end this quickly.”
After stopping Chen Mobai’s talisman bombardment, Mu Yuan felt that there was only about 80% of his spiritual power left in his body and felt he couldn’t fall into his opponent’s rhythm.
His face shone with a green spiritual light. He stretched out his hand to pat the Qingyang Spirit Tree beside him, then strands of green light were drawn out from the tree by him, converging into a clear, green spiritual light in his palm.
It was the simplified version of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light previously used by Ding Ying – the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light!
Just then, Chen Mobai took out a gold bamboo leaf-shaped Crimson Flame Sword Talisman. As Mu Yuan’s expression slightly changed, a purple flame sword aura appeared, like a thread of fire, bursting instantly before his forehead.
It was the Crimson Flame Triple Sword Talisman!
This strength was equivalent to the Rank-2 level. With no other choice, Mu Yuan could only take out a green spiritual pearl from his storage bag.
Chen Mobai identified it as a grade-2 Azure Spirit Bead which, once filled with Spiritual Power, could form a phenomenal light shield.
While battling Yuan Chiye, Mu Yuan had already completely exposed his trump cards.
And Chen Mobai was waiting for precisely this moment. He intended to break through all of Mu Yuan’s ultimate techniques and magical treasures, letting him experience the most complete defeat!
Just as Mu Yuan expelled a pure breath of Longevity Spiritual Power, morphing the Azure Spirit Bead into a light curtain that blocked the impressive Purple Fire Sword Aura, Chen Mobai also opened his storage bag.
A vibrant green flying sword sprang out, like a lively spirit fish.
“He’s finally getting serious!”
Seeing that Chen Mobai finally unsheathed his sword, Zhou Wangshen and the others who knew his “true skills” couldn’t help but sigh for Mu Yuan.
They knew that their Sect Leader junior brother’s journey in the tournament had come to an end..
