Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Future Planning^
Translator: 549690339
After hearing Qi Rui’s introduction, which carried a hint of pride, Chen Mobai had only one thought in his mind.
What a braggart!
His boasting even surpasses that of the Seven Elemental Soul Cultivation
Techniques of the Celestial Sect on Deyuan Star.
The “Six Sovereign Sutra” of Kunpeng Daoist Institute claims that when perfected, one would control the six elemental energies-Yin, Yang, Wind, Rain, Darkness, and Brightness-with the laws of the universe at their fingertips, and their Primordial Spirit could roam endlessly through boundless realms.
Even so, the “Six Sovereign Sutra” wouldn’t dare claim to surpass all Five Elements Cultivation techniques.
That’s because the Wood Attribute Lasting Spring Cultivation technique passed down by Jumang Daoist Institute, though ordinary in name, promises to stop time and preserve youth once one achieves primordial spirit, maintaining their peak state forever before their life ends.
Bearing no power over the Lasting Spring Cultivation technique, the “Six Sovereign Sutra” certainly wouldn’t dare to assert its dominance over all Five Elements Cultivation techniques.
Chen Mobai didn’t argue but feigned astonishment after hearing about it, wondering how something as powerful as the “Primordial Dao Fruit” could exist!
But in his heart, he thought that if the “Primordial Dao Fruit” was this mighty, then why did the ancestor of the Wu Xing Sect not breakthrough to Divinity Transformation but instead died of old age!
From this, it became apparent that this so-called best divine skill in the Eastern Wilderness, despite being excellent in magic duels, probably doesn’t compare to the Jade Purity Scripture of the immortal sects when it came to breaking through realms or even chasing longevity.
This was why he agreed particularly with something Qi Rui said.
Compared to the inaccessible and grueling cultivation of the Primordial Dao Fruit, the “Dual Elements Cultivation” might be more suitable for him.
Just with a 30% increase in Core Formation chance after Foundation Establishment, he felt ecstatic.
Remember, the “Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill” of the immortal sect even guaranteed a 20% increase in the Core Formation chance.
Combining these two, if he could make it to Foundation Establishment, he felt he could already swallow half of the Gold Core.
Perhaps he was thinking too far ahead.
Chen Mobai took a deep breath to calm himself down.
“Is this ‘Dual Elements Cultivation’ so miraculous?”
He was a bit skeptical. After all, though there were cultivation techniques within the immortal sects that could increase the chance of Core Formation, none of their effects were as exaggerated as a direct 30% increase like the “Dual Elements Cultivation”.
“Indeed! Thirty years ago, our sect’s Elder Fu advanced to Core Formation with the ‘Dual Elements Cultivation’ and became the second Gold Core cultivator in our Divine Wood Sect.”
“Precisely because of this, the Wu Xing Sect, which would not have compromised under any circumstances, was willing to sit down and negotiate with us, acknowledging our Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff s independence.”
“In essence, isn’t it all because we have one more Gold Core cultivator, balancing the power on both sides that the peace agreement for these hundred years could be signed?”
Qi Rui’s words gradually convinced Chen Mobai.
Before the Wu Xing Sect’s split, with one Nascent Soul cultivator and five Gold Core cultivators, indeed dominated the Eastern Wilderness.
“Did you also cultivate this ‘Dual Elements Cultivation’, Qi Rui?” Chen Mobai asked.
The other party immediately shook their head and gave a bitter smile.
“This is an honor exclusive to True Disciples.
“Moreover, cultivating the Dual Elements Cultivation requires more resources and time than cultivating a single cultivation technique.”
“During Qi Cultivation, it doesn’t make much of a difference, but after Foundation Establishment, each bottleneck is extremely challenging. Without the ‘Eternal Life Scripture’ providing an additional lifespan of 60 years, Elder Fu might not have been able to reach the Core Formation stage.”
Hearing this, Chen Mobai didn’t mind.
He already knew that although the major realms of the Tianhe Realm were the same as those of the immortal sects, the division of the minor realms was completely different.
Tianhe Realm’s Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul stages all only had four minor realms—early, mid, late, and Perfection. However, within the immortal sects, like Qi Cultivation, the stages of Foundation Establishment, Core Formation and Nascent Soul, are divided into nine minor realms. This is because breaking through this way, the bottlenecks are significantly smaller.
Initially, when the Immortal sects started teaching the cultivation methods on Deyuan Star, the three major stages after Qi Cultivation were also divided into four minor realms—early, mid, late, and Perfection.
However, after hundreds of years, due to a lack of resources, these minor realm bottlenecks blocked nearly all cultivators.
So later, the Divinity Transformation ancestor of the Repairing Heaven Institute created the cultivation techniques of Foundation Establishment Nine Levels, Core Formation Nine Levels, and Nascent Soul Nine Levels.
Sharing these methods with his disciples, the first Nascent Soul cultivator from Deyuan Star was eventually cultivated after two hundred years. As proven by practice, after breaking the original four minor realm bottlenecks into nine, the difficulty of breaking through reduced considerably.
The chances of ultimately cultivating to Perfection was nearly fifty percent higher.
Chen Mobai felt that if he could join the Divine Wood Sect, he could first choose to cultivate the ‘Eternal Life Scripture’, then become a True Disciple, get the “Dual Elements Cultivation”, and swap the fire attribute cultivation technique that comes with it with the “Pure Yang Scroll” that he had prepared in advance.
And if he could successfully reach the Foundation Establishment stage, the Nine Stages of Foundation Establishment in the “Pure Yang Scroll” would gradually melt the essence of the spiritual energy cultivated by the wood attribute ‘Eternal Life Scripture’.
And what was considered the most difficult minor realm bottleneck for the disciples of Divine Wood Sect, might not be too difficult for him.
Furthermore, after he cultivates the “Pure Yang Scroll” to Gold Core Perfection, his spiritual root attribute could be elevated to Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, which would be perfect to comprehend the requirements of the “Primordial
Dao Fruit”.
Although he felt that this number one divine skill of the Eastern Wilderness might not compare to the seven great elemental soul techniques passed down by the Immortal Sects, Qi Rui’s praise made him think that if he had a chance in the future, he could give it a try.
In an instant, Chen Mobai had roughly planned his future cultivation techniques.
However, whether it would work still required more thought and consideration.
But foremost, he needed to join the Divine Wood Sect.
On that night, Chen Mobai and Qi Rui engaged in deep conversation, feeling as if they hadn’t met soon enough.
Shi Pengyi, after listening for a while, began to cultivate seriously, holding a spirit stone in his hand and meditating with his eyes closed.
On the other hand, Luo Lin, whose arm had just been mended, could only rest and listened with great interest as Chen Mobai and Qi Rui discussed topics ranging from the Divine Wood Sect and cultivation techniques to the sharing of experiences in talisman making.
On these matters, Chen Mobai naturally couldn’t compare with Qi Rui, a Rank-1 Talisman Maker. But as his perceptions were based on entirely different system of learning from the Immortal Sects, his occasional remarks about what he learned in class greatly astonished Qi Rui who praised that Chen Mobai would definitely become an outstanding talisman maker.
To this, Chen Mobai could only modestly dismiss. His theoretical knowledge might be fine but his practical skills were a mess.
After the talisman-making discussion, both of them went on to speak about their experience of dealing with Demonic beasts like the Black Plague Bird. In their conversation, they occasionally sought Luo Lin’s opinion and discussed how their team could coordinate to survive the Island Defense Battle while killing more demonic beasts.
It wasn’t until the break of dawn, when Wang Yuanwu distributed the Spirit Stones of the day that Chen Mobai and Qi Rui reluctantly ended their chat..
