I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 2575: Chapter 1168: Yellow Middle Plum (Part 2)

As Chen Mobai’s words ended, Peach Blossom Sage hesitated, pondering for a moment before asking, “When I leave, should I take my true form with me or leave it on the Earth Element Star?”

For her, the greatest mission was to ensure the master’s resurrection and return.

However, apart from Bai Guang, all those who left the Immortal Gate from the Earth Element Star perished in the vast Star Sea, leaving her without confidence in herself. So, deep down, she hoped to leave her true form here, at least so the master would still have the hope of resurrection.

If she were to leave the Immortal Gate, the master in her true form at the Jumang Academy would lose a pillar of support. Alerting Wenren Xuewei and other Nascent Souls might also risk exposure.

After all, all cultivators raised under the Immortal Gate might choose the Immortal Gate over the Jumang Lineage when faced with the greater good.

“If you swear never to return, I can let you and your true form leave together in liberation,” Chen Mobai misunderstood, thinking that Peach Blossom Sage was reluctant to part.

He was not a heartless person. Apart from the Flat Peach, when he reaches the Void Cultivation stage in the future, the Great Chun Divine Tree will also be released, granting them freedom beyond the Earth Element Star.

Without these two Longevity Immortal Spiritual Plants, the Kunpeng Lineage’s hesitation to devour all the Spirit Veins of the Earth Element Star would vanish, and perhaps the two lineages could reconcile.

“I need to give this some thought. After all, this is the hometown that birthed and raised me, and Cui may not be able to transform into Divinity, possibly ending her days here. I don’t want to miss the chance to see her one last time,” Peach Blossom Sage said.

Hearing this, Chen Mobai knew she was unwilling, a bit surprised.

But he did not insist.

“True Monarch, is there really no other way?” Peach Blossom Sage implored as she saw Chen Mobai preparing to leave.

“There’s one more way, but you’re unlikely to agree,” Chen Mobai considered their long-standing alliance and spoke up.

Peach Blossom Sage: “Could you please enlighten me, True Monarch?”

Chen Mobai: “I promised that after reaching Void Cultivation, I would release the Great Chun Divine Tree, but the Immortal Gate’s Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation requires another core. If you’re willing to let your true form substitute, the Kunpeng and Patching Heaven lineages likely wouldn’t mind.”

The Jumang Lineage was suppressed because they already possessed the Rank-6 Great Chun Divine Tree. If Peach Blossom advances, its lifespan would outlast any Divinity Transformation cultivator of the Immortal Gate.

Hence, if Peach Blossom is to advance, the Great Chun must leave the Earth Element Star.

Just right, Chen Mobai could seize this opportunity to fulfill his promise.

If Peach Blossom’s true form became the core of the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, since the Heavenly Calculation Bead was controlled by Yunhai, the Kunpeng Lineage could suppress the Spirit Veins of the Earth Element Star at any time, putting Qi Yuheng at ease.

“This…”

Peach Blossom Sage’s expression grew more hesitant, knowing all too well that only two paths lay before her.

“Thank you for the guidance, True Monarch. I have nothing to offer in return except this Huang Zhongli seed, which my master brought from the White Crane Dao Arena. Please accept it.”

While speaking, Peach Blossom Sage handed over a pre-prepared gift to Chen Mobai.

“Huang Zhongli?”

Initially wanting to decline, Chen Mobai changed his mind upon hearing this, extending his hand to take it when he saw the Jade Box.

Upon opening it, he found a fruit shaped like a pearl, long deprived of Spiritual Energy nourishment and hence shriveled, yet still radiating a rich vitality and Innate Earth Essence Qi.

“This Huang Zhongli blossoms every ten thousand years, bears fruit every ten thousand years, and matures every ten thousand years. In the past, the Huang Zhongli Patriarch left nine fruits in the Central Dojo before heading to White Crane Dao Arena. Each cultivator who refines one could possess an Innate Earth Spiritual Body and Heavenly Earth Spirit Root, typically bestowed to disciples practicing the Lasting Spring Cultivation.”

“This Huang Zhongli was also once a fruit, but after the master completed the Lasting Spring Cultivation in the Purple Cloud Palace to advance to a higher realm, he refined all its essence into his body, leaving only this seed.”

“The master initially planned to plant it after I matured, but considering the current situation of the Immortal Gate, that’s impossible. After the master passed, I gathered his belongings and found this, understanding the Jumang Lineage’s peril under the Kunpeng and Patching Heaven fears, and thus kept it hidden.”

Peach Blossom Sage explained this Huang Zhongli, which brightened Chen Mobai’s eyes upon hearing.

The Immortal Gate was unsuitable for planting because of the lack of Spiritual Energy, but with the resources of the Tianhe Realm, he could nourish it.

Moreover, the Lasting Spring Cultivation required refining three Lifebound Spirit Plants to merge celestial essence. If Huang Zhongli could grow, Qing Nu’s cultivation of this technique would be more promising.

“This Huang Zhongli seed has another function; when carried by a cultivator, it aids in comprehending the Earth Element Great Dao, even linking to the Primordial Great Dao. True Monarch’s creation of the Primordial Bead technique could find inspiration here, perhaps unveiling the Innate Great Dao.”

At this point, Peach Blossom Sage disclosed another secret.

The Huang Zhongli Patriarch of their lineage once not only grasped the Earth Element Great Dao and Great Dao of Life but also the Primordial Great Dao. Among the three Longevity Immortals, he was the most profound in cultivation, just a step away from Harmonization.

In the White Crane Dao Arena, aside from Wangji Daojun, only Huang Zhongli, who comprehended the Primordial Great Dao, was unrivaled.

“That’s sort of wasted; I had already enlightened this Great Dao before the Purple Cloud Palace visit.”

Chen Mobai expressed slight lament upon hearing this. Peach Blossom Sage was astonished.

“With True Monarch’s talent, it’s natural. Indeed, you are the Immortal Gate’s most insightful, exceptionally talented, and gifted individual throughout history…”

Peach Blossom Sage forced a smile, paying insincere compliments.

At that moment, Chen Mobai finished examining the Huang Zhongli seed encased in withered fruit skin in the Jade Box. As Peach Blossom Sage said, it contained not only pure Earth Element Great Dao power but also faint traces of the Primordial Great Dao.

If it could be cultivated, it would benefit not only Qing Nu but also disciple Zhuo Ming immensely.

“Aside from the Huang Zhongli seed, are there also seeds of the other two Spirit Plants required for the Lasting Spring Cultivation?”

With his Law Domain established, Chen Mobai’s realm was self-contained. Planning to plant Huang Zhongli, he might as well sow the other two Spirit Plants too, achieving full synergy and cultivation perfection.

“I can cut a branch from my true form and the Great Chun Divine Tree, but since my true form is only at the Fourth Rank Peak, it might take more resources to successfully plant and grow,”

Peach Blossom Sage promptly agreed. Chen Mobai nodded and communicated remotely with the Spirit of Great Chun, which, without hesitation, sent a verdant branch flying over.

After receiving it, Peach Blossom Sage bid farewell to head to her true form’s island.

“Speaking of which, I’ve never seen your true form, Sage. Might I have the honor of witnessing it?”

As she was about to leave, Chen Mobai suddenly asked.

Peach Blossom Sage’s body immediately stiffened, her aura fluctuating.

“That might be inconvenient; over the years, I’ve taken on some aspects of human morality and decency through transformation. My true form is essentially unclothed, and with True Monarch being male…”

Peach Blossom Sage quickly thought of an excuse to refuse.

“I see, then I was presumptuous.”

Chen Mobai apologized, sitting down.

“Please wait a moment, True Monarch, I’ll be right back.”

Peach Blossom Sage sighed in relief, then vanished into the Void Walk.

Soon, before Chen Mobai could finish a cup of tea, Peach Blossom Sage teleported back, presenting a peach branch still dewy with moisture.
