I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 2799 - 1299: In the Sea Eye (Part 2)

The cultivator from Submerged Abyss Island summoned his Puppet Body from within a bubble and gradually advanced towards the interior of the Sea Eye.

Inside the Sea Eye, scattered, pitch-black steles could be seen.

These were Fifth Rank True Spirits from the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court who had sat in meditation until their passing.

Once cultivation reaches the level of the Fifth Rank, it’s barely possible to withstand the suction at the mouth of the Sea Eye, and even to use the Sea Eye’s power to temper the body and strengthen the bloodline. This place is a Holy Land for the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court.

But one can only remain near the mouth of the Sea Eye; venturing deeper still results in being drawn in with no escape.

The Puppet Body of the Submerged Abyss Island cultivator, refined with Bipolar Yuan Magnets, could enter a bit deeper into the Sea Eye.

But soon, he reached his limit, halting before a golden stele.

"Disciple Zhao Nancheng requests an audience with Master!"

The Submerged Abyss Island cultivator bowed with both hands, paying respects to a blurred silhouette deep within the Sea Eye.

His name was Zhao Nancheng, a descendant of the Eastern Emperor Court that fled to the Bubble Cave Heaven in the Mysterious Sea. Initially, his lineage sought to reconstruct the King’s Court.

However, after the Dao Morale Sect and other Holy Lands took power, they severed the Dragon Pulse upon the East Continent, making them realize that if they revealed themselves, these Holy Lands, once family retainers, would immediately turn against them, annihilating them.

When the Eastern Emperor Court fell, every Deity Transformation individual was on the list for liquidation, so their lineage fled, with the highest cultivation level being only Nascent Soul. In this situation, they had to endure and cultivate in secret, hoping to reclaim the East Continent after gaining enough power to resist.

Yet, a millennium passed and several Nascent Soul individuals from this royal lineage repeatedly failed to break through to Deity Transformation.

Moreover, over time, to maintain purity of the bloodline, internal royal marriages led to increasingly lower Spiritual Root Talent among offspring, even causing deviations.

To resolve this issue, they began abducting talented female cultivators from the Mysterious Sea, even intermarrying with the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, marrying Dragon Girls or marrying off daughters.

Zhao Nancheng’s mother was from the royal family, his father a Dragon Son from the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, half-human, half-dragon.

Due to this, he had means to access the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court.

Yet in his youth, due to mutual suppression from the two bloodlines, his cultivation progressed slowly, and during a certain incident, he was bullied by the direct lineage Dragon Son and pushed into this Sea Eye. However, he miraculously encountered an Eastern Emperor Court Deity Transformation True Monarch being suppressed by the Sea Eye.

This person was once the Fu Hai True Monarch from the Hall of Ten Directions, who after being cast into the Sea Eye, amidst the terror of life and death, came to comprehend an ultimate transformation of his cultivation technique, sublimating his Primordial Spirit, stepping into the Great Tao, achieving Void Refining.

But within the Sea Eye, even ascendancy couldn’t free him, so he remained confined. Yet through reliance on the Void Refining Realm, he halted his descent and no longer plunged into the bottomless abyss.

In the rare encounter within the Sea Eye, possessing royal bloodline, Zhao Nancheng was verified by the Fu Hai True Monarch, who immediately accepted him as a disciple.

Guided by the Fu Hai True Monarch, Zhao Nancheng first utilized the Sea Eye’s power to temper his Mysterious Flood Dragon bloodline, spending a thousand years reaching the Fifth Rank Peak Realm. Yet because he fell too deeply into the Sea Eye, even so, he couldn’t break free.

Next, Zhao Nancheng further cultivated the Heavenly Pool Dao Technique, a profound cultivation technique of Submerged Abyss Island containing a very mystical Secret Technique, which allows the sensing of fellow cultivators training in the same technique and like a big fish consuming smaller ones, it devours and refines them.

Moreover, during the Supreme True Demon calamity, the cultivator from Submerged Abyss Island was possessed, and upon discovering the Heavenly Pool Dao Technique, it was merged with the Heart Demon Great Dao, making it possible to directly manifest as a Heart Demon, seizing its Essence Qi, Spirit, and all.

Zhao Nancheng exploited the dark currents that periodically surged from the Sea Eye, spreading this technique among the cultivators on major Spiritual Islands in the Mysterious Sea, then utilized a powerful Heart Demon arising from someone who reached Nascent Soul Realm, to revive on their body.

With a body now active, Zhao Nancheng easily controlled the Bubble Cave Heaven and became the king of his lineage. He even stole the Tianyuan Dao Fruit sealed by the Four Seas Bottle from the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court.

Later, he devised a plan to disguise the Heavenly Pool Dao Technique as the Devouring Sea Demonic Art, spreading it across the East Continent.

However, given the presence of Holy Lands like the Nine Heavens Morality Sect on the East Continent, no one dared to cultivate demonic arts unless absolutely necessary.

Only in the Three Regions of the Eastern Continent Frontier, due to distance from the Holy Lands, were some practicing it.

But at most it’s just Core Formation, useless to Zhao Nancheng.

As time passed, Zhao Nancheng’s Heart Demon-possessed body began aging, forcing him to seek another vessel capable of bearing more of his power.

The ideal host could contain the Tianyuan Dao Fruit, granting him peak Deity Transformation prowess even as an avatar. Paired with the foundation of the Eastern Emperor Court, he could dominate the Five Continents and Four Seas, unafraid even facing the top Two Swords and Three Immortals.

So Zhao Nancheng carefully selected Ku Zhu.

Though deviating somewhat from his path, it ultimately resulted in him becoming the perfect shell he envisioned.

However, during this process, the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor emerged as a variable.

Even with great confidence, Zhao Nancheng hesitates before the one who slew the White Bone Demon King and Old Flood Dragon, forcing the Sixth Rank Kui Beast to self-destroy during tribulation, the foremost in the East Continent.

Even if Zhao Nancheng’s true body emerged from the Sea Eye, he’d be slightly stronger than the Old Flood Dragon; with the Suppressing Sea Bead, it might be a tough match.

But against the Sixth Rank Kui Beast, he’s certainly no match.

The gap is vast.

The Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor forced the Sixth Rank Kui Beast to ascend in escape, even without Void Refining his prowess likely equates to it.

Thus, facing this scenario, Zhao Nancheng decides to return to the Sea Eye to consult his master.

How should one handle such a formidable opponent?

"The best course is recruiting him, claiming we only want the East Land; as long as the Imperial Court can be rebuilt, he could replace the Dao Morale Sect and the Nine Heavens Morality Sect, becoming the greatest Holy Land of the East Continent, and even honored as the new State Preceptor, endorsed by the Generation Emperor."

Upon hearing Zhao Nancheng’s account of Chen Mobai’s life, the voice of Fu Hai True Monarch, suppressed within the Sea Eye, rumbled.

"Master, this may not work, as he is known as a contemporary sage, highly principled, unlikely to betray allies." Zhao Nancheng shook his head after hearing this.

Since the Five Elements Sect claimed the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, he had observed secretly and found that Chen Guixian wasn’t feigning virtue.

Despite his bloody hands and countless slayings, his word was his bond, held in high moral standing.

For over two centuries, he remained steadfast, noble, clean as jade, distinct from the mundane world.

Under his leadership, the Three Regions of the Eastern Continent Frontier now surpassed the prosperous scenes depicted in ancient texts of the Eastern Emperor Court.

"Is there really someone on this land possessing such high moral values?" Fu Hai True Monarch appeared incredulous.

"It’s absolutely true. Initially, I believed such a person would soon be consumed by the murky world, yet astonishingly, he turned this mindset into the Supreme Sword Path, his Sword Intent stunningly formidable, likely already ready to ascend, only short of perfection in the power of the Great Dao."

Based on two centuries of observation, Zhao Nancheng concluded, albeit with some deviation, inadvertently hitting the mark.

"Since he can’t be corrupted and I can’t act rashly to kill him, it appears only the last resort remains." Fu Hai True Monarch pondered for a long time, then spoke.

"Your disciple is dull, may I ask for detailed guidance from Master?" Zhao Nancheng pursued further.

"Send him to ascend!"
