Chapter 252: Chapter 238: Ceremony of Acknowledging a Master 1
South Mountain.
Chen Mobai sat in front of his wooden cabin, idly tossing a wisp of purple flame in his palm.
After demonstrating the “Sword Rainbow Fission” at the Shenmu Hall, Meng Hong immediately had Zeng Woyou and Yan Jinye swear on their Dao heart that they would never divulge this matter.
Sword Cultivators are known for their unrivalled combat prowess within their own rank, which mainly relies on the powerful single strike power after cultivating sword light.
The first three realms of sword cultivators-Sword Training to become Gang Sword Gang Transforming Qi, and Rainbow Sword Qi-are indeed formidable but are not invincible within their rank.
Only after cultivatation of Sword Light, harnessing all spiritual power focused into one point, can a sword cultivator truly rise above the rest.
Rainbow Sword Qi draws multiple times more elemental energy from a single point of spiritual power, forming a sky-covering sword Qi long rainbow to suppress opponents.
Despite its power, this attack can be defended against with a defensive magic weapon or a spirit talisman due to its lack of concentration.
As an example, during the grand competition of the sect, the Spirit Leaf Talisman that Zhou Wangshen gave to Feng Hongxue easily blocked Chen Mobai’s Sword Qi Long Rainbow.
To remedy this shortcoming, the fourth realm of sword cultivators is “Sword Rainbow Fission”.
Tying the sky-full-of sword rainbows into a string, it collects all the power and transforms into an extreme terrifying sword light. Its power is more than ten times that of the sword rainbow.
Generally speaking, those who are able to cultivate sword light are at least mid-stage foundation sword cultivators and even then, they are considered extraordinarily talented.
In the history of the Eastern Wilderness, it’s recorded that more than 80 percent of sword cultivators who could achieve Sword Rainbow Fission were in the late foundation stage.
Having reached this realm of sword Dao at the early foundation stage Chen Mobai was, according to the records of the Divine Wood Sect, the first one in the Eastern Wilderness to do so.
It’s precisely because of this that Meng Hong, staking his position as a sect leader, made Zeng Woyou and Yan Jinye swear a Dao heart oath after seeing the Purple Fire Sword Light.
This is akin to drawing a divine sword, which when unsheathed must not unleash destruction lightly, and absolutely must not run the risk of exposure to opposing sects.
After cultivating the sword light, those who can stand up to Chen Mobai are only those in the late foundation stage and a few remarkably talented individuals in the mid foundation stage.
After Chen Mobai recovered, Meng Hong had him return to South Mountain.
The Sect Leader only had one directive.
Keep on practicing your sword!
The realm of “Sword Rainbow Fission”, being the starting point for a sword cultivator’s peerless ability among peers, is also broad and profound Cultivating sword light is just the beginning, sword light differentiation is when one truly gains mastery.
At Chen Mobai’s current level, he can only condense a Purple Fire Sword Light, and that’s only with the aid of the Qingyang Fire Seed.
When he is capable of differentiating hundreds or thousands of sword lights, he will truly be an invincible force when pitted against individuals or a horde. Thinking of this, Chen Mobai’s mind moved and he ignited the Qingyang Fire Seed in his palm, which absorbed the free spiritual energy from the peak of South Mountain, and instantly condensed into a jade-like, flowing molten sword light.
This was the “Purple Fire Sword Light” from Red Flame Sword Jue.
Through the manipulation of his divine sense, a second small Purple Fire Sword Light sprouted from the top of the Purple Fire Sword Light floating in his palm, much like a branch from a tree.
This newly differentiated sword light burst forth and landed on a rock at the peak of the mountain.
The sword light sank into the rock, silently melting it into molten lava, scorching a large swath of green grass. This was “Sword Light Differentiation”.
The divine tree had empowered him with the complete understanding of this realm. With a mere thought, it was as if the practice and realization of many years came to him, and he could execute it with ease.
It’s a pity that his divine consciousness strength is not sufficient. While it’s considered decent at his current level, it only allows him to differentiate a second Purple Fire Sword Light.
Naturally, he didn’t demonstrate this level at the Shenmu Hall.
This was to maintain his persona of an unparalleled sword Dao prodigy. A few years later, he could casually use it, giving the impression it was of his own understanding.
The main reason he fabricated the story of the Blue Emperor was for this reason.
Firstly, it portrayed that he ascended to the realm of “Sword Rainbow Fission” by observing the Blue Emperor’s Immortal Sword, showcasing his authentic natural gift for sword Dao.
To further consolidate his persona.
Secondly…
Chen Mobai took out his mobile phone and opened “Turtle Treasure”.
The single teleportation button that was originally there had become two.
[Teleportation 1], [Teleportation 2].
He named Teleportation i “Tianhe Realm”, and Teleportation 2 “Divine Wood Realm”.
The Turtle Treasure was indeed amazing. Even though its master had been unconscious, it still successfully anchored the Divine Tree Secret Realm.
Chen Mobai planned to develop this secret realm later when his cultivation level was high enough for him to be in control of the overall situation.
As just one person, he might not be able to fully utilize all the resources of the Divine Tree Secret Realm and may need the assistance of the sect or the Immortal Gate in the future.
However, compared to the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai believed the Divine Wood Sect would make better partners.
He felt that if he stayed here for a few decades, he might even become sect leader. If the two Gold Core Elders died, wouldn’t he have the final say?
Moreover, he didn’t want to expose the existence of the Turtle Treasure. He wouldn’t be able to fool the Immortal Gate, so it would be best to deepen his roots in Tianhe Realm first.
Therefore, Chen Mobai laid the groundwork in the Divine Wood Sect by fabricating the story, so when the time comes, he could claim that he had comprehended the Immortal Sword and can freely enter and exit the Divine Tree Secret Realm..
