Chapter 1079: Getting the Sacred True Elixir

Chen Mobai was in the courtyard, intending to visit True Monarch Wuchen, when the latter's voice transmission reached him.

"Hahaha, I'm coming right over!"

True Monarch Wuchen had invited him to Qianyuan Tower, openly stating the reason: the Sacred Spirit Pill had been successfully refined. Hearing this, Chen Mobai laughed heartily. After instructing Han Zhiling to look after the house, he immediately flew to the tallest building in Dongling Immortal City.

"Please have a seat, little friend," True Monarch Wuchen said. "We're waiting for a few others to arrive."

True Monarch Wuchen was seated at the head of the table, with an empty seat beside him, clearly reserved for Chen Mobai. To their left and right were rows of cushions. Shenxi and the Palace Master of Biluo were already seated on the first cushions on each side. Seeing Chen Mobai arrive, they both stood to greet him.

"Senior truly lives up to your reputation as the foremost alchemist in the Eastern Continent," Chen Mobai said, "How many pills did you manage to refine this time?"

After taking his seat, Chen Mobai accepted the Longevity Eyebrow Immortal Tea from Wuchen and asked, his face full of anticipation.

"As expected, seven and a half pills."

As True Monarch Wuchen spoke, he patted the storage pouch at his waist. Immediately, eight jade vials flew out and settled onto the table between them. Seven of the jade vials were carved from green jade, but one was blue, likely indicating it contained the pill with the most impurities.

"Little friend, once everyone has arrived, you may select one first," True Monarch Wuchen said, indicating the seven green jade vials, which indeed contained high-quality Sacred Spirit Pills.

The culmination of a century of planning by the Righteous Path of the Eastern Continent now lay before Chen Mobai, contained within these eight jade vials.

"Thank you, Senior! With the Sacred Spirit Pill, my chances of achieving Soul Transformation have increased by another twenty percent..."

Even Chen Mobai, with his usually composed demeanor, couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. If his chances of achieving Soul Transformation were previously considered "ninety percent certain," they had now finally surpassed "one hundred percent." He could now pursue his breakthrough without any reservations.

"You're too modest, little friend. This was originally yours, including the hide of the Golden-Flame Suanni..."

While the Sacred Spirit Pills were to be distributed fairly among all Nascent Soul cultivators of the Eastern Continent's Righteous Path, the Golden-Flame Suanni hide was Chen Mobai's war trophy, and True Monarch Wuchen had produced it as promised.

"What excellent material," Chen Mobai remarked. "Besides crafting magical robes, the leftover scraps can also be used to refine fifth-grade talismans."

Chen Mobai carefully examined the golden-white hide in his hands, sensing the innate restrictions and the profound, restrained fifth-grade true fire it contained. He turned it over and over, clearly captivated. As the Square Inch Scroll activated, it quickly scanned the nearly intact hide. Within his mind, the Scroll then completed all the necessary design work for a magical robe, including patterns, cutting, piecing, sewing, and even accessory materials. The Golden-Flame Suanni hide was quite large, enough for Chen Mobai to fashion a full-body magical robe. Knowing that some of the hide would inevitably be trimmed and wasted, he had already decided to use those scraps for talisman crafting.

"Little friend, you truly live up to your reputation as the most versatile talent in the Eastern Continent," True Monarch Wuchen remarked. "It seems your talisman crafting skills will soon reach the fifth-grade as well."

True Monarch Wuchen listened to Chen Mobai's words and offered his blessings. In the Little Nanshan Workshop of the Eastern Lands, the highest-grade talismans Chen Mobai had refined were peak fourth-grade Great Sun Sword Talismans. Thus, his talisman crafting skill was generally considered quasi-fifth-grade, a relatively weak link compared to his fifth-grade artifact refining and array formation.

"Then I shall take your auspicious words to heart, Senior."

Chen Mobai smiled slightly after hearing this. In truth, with some focused practice using the Rhythmic Five Tones technique, he could easily pass the Immortal Sect's fifth-grade talisman master examination. However, prior to this, it held little significance for him. Not only was his reputation within the Immortal Sect already well-established, with a fifth-grade talisman master title adding little to his prestige, but the Immortal Sect also lacked a supply of fifth-grade talisman paper and ink. His only limitation was the availability of materials.

"By the way, when do you plan to attempt your breakthrough, little friend? Have you chosen a location for your seclusion? There are no sixth-grade spiritual veins in the Eastern Barrens; will you return to the Five Emperors Mountain?"

While other Nascent Soul cultivators had yet to arrive, True Monarch Wuchen began to inquire about Chen Mobai's preparations for Soul Transformation. For the future of the Eastern Continent's Righteous Path, new Soul Transformation cultivators were certainly needed. However, the Moral Sect didn't desire too many; a formidable individual like Chen Mobai, capable of standing in for two or three others, was ideal. The Moral Sect had thoroughly investigated Chen Mobai's entire history since his emergence. Although he was known as the "God of Slaughter" and had committed grave offenses, in the Eastern Barrens, he also bore the titles of "Great Sage and Benevolent Teacher" and "Contemporary Saint." This was precisely the future pillar the Righteous Path required!

True Monarch Wuchen finally understood why Yuan Qingque had recognized this young man's potential after only a single encounter, even using the favor owed to the One-Origin Dao Palace on Chen Mobai. This young man was truly worth nurturing; he possessed the capability to uphold the Eastern Continent after their time! Even for the Holy Lands of the Eastern Continent, Soul Transformation resources were incredibly precious. If a chosen individual failed in their breakthrough, it would be a significant loss that even Soul Transformation cultivators would regret. Ni Yuanzhong's past failure had compelled Yuan Qingque to consume longevity pills, forcibly extending his stay in the mortal realm. Therefore, even though the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect showed signs of division due to Ye Qing's impending emergence from seclusion, True Monarch Wuchen knew very well that if the situation escalated beyond control, Yuan Qingque from the upper realm would certainly intervene.

"I'm not very familiar with Five Emperors Mountain, so I'll return to the Eastern Barrens."

Chen Mobai nodded, answering True Monarch Wuchen's question and stating that he would delegate his current responsibilities within a few days before departing the Dongling Region.

"Your Dao heart is resolute, little friend. I wish you success in your Soul Transformation beforehand."

True Monarch Wuchen was also very happy after hearing this. The sooner Chen Mobai broke through, the faster the Righteous Path could counterattack the Demonic Path.

Just then, a streak of Nascent Soul spiritual light flared at the teleportation array in Dongling Immortal City. The arriving cultivator seemed very anxious, flying directly towards Qianyuan Tower immediately after exiting the array. However, upon nearing the tower, they promptly descended to the ground, entered through the main door, and ascended the stairs.

"Xingji greets the two True Monarchs and fellow Daoists!"

It was an acquaintance of Chen Mobai. After greeting everyone, he noticed Shenxi had taken Chen Mobai's previous seat, hesitated briefly, then settled onto the third cushion. Following this, the teleportation array glowed repeatedly as Nascent Soul cultivators, who had been opening up barren lands across the Dongling Region, arrived one by one. For example, Ni Yuanzhong, Hongyun, Han Xingzi, and others familiar to Chen Mobai. Tude was the last to arrive. Zhang Pankong had not set up a teleportation array in the Kan position, which the One-Origin Dao Palace was responsible for. Consequently, Tude had to fly there himself.

"My apologies, apologies, I'm a bit late..."

Upon entering, Tude offered repeated apologies. The others remained silent, their gazes turning towards Chen Mobai. While the feud between the Five Elements Sect and the One-Origin Dao Palace might not have been widely known at first, it had become common knowledge now that Chen Mobai's status was comparable to that of a Soul Transformation cultivator.

"Sit."

However, Chen Mobai, with great composure, pointed to the second cushion on the right, below the Palace Master of Biluo. That seat was empty, directly opposite Ni Yuanzhong. Earlier, Xingji had assessed the situation and, feeling himself unqualified for such a prominent position, had yielded the seat reserved for the Four Great Holy Lands, despite being among the first to arrive.

"Yes, Sect Master."

Tude, relieved by Chen Mobai's words, had feared being publicly humiliated in such a prominent gathering. It proved that Chen Mobai's magnanimity was far greater than he had anticipated.

"Everyone is here, so let me say a few words."

Seeing that all Nascent Soul cultivators had taken their seats, True Monarch Wuchen set down his teacup and began to speak softly. His words, however, resonated clearly in everyone's ears.

"The Sacred Spirit Pills have been refined," he announced. "According to the established rules, the exchange order will be determined by the amount of 'Moral Coins' each person possesses."

As his voice faded, Shenxi waved the whisk in his hand, and a list, formed from condensed mist, quickly appeared in the hall. Among them, the top three were Chen Mobai, True Monarch Wuchen, and True Monarch Dakong. They jointly killed the Golden-Flame Suanni, sharing one hundred million Moral Coins. Although the fifth-grade Li Li demon was slain by Chen Mobai, no Moral Coins were awarded for it, as the complete corpse was not submitted to the Moral Sect. Nevertheless, due to contributions from the Five Elements Sect disciples and numerous rogue cultivators, Chen Mobai's Moral Coin total surpassed those of the two Soul Transformation True Monarchs.

Following the three Soul Transformation cultivators were Ni Yuanzhong, Shenxi, and the Palace Master of Biluo—the three leaders of the Holy Lands. Just as Chen Mobai could command the Five Elements Sect, they could also command the elders and disciples of their Holy Lands. After these six, ranking seventh was Hongyun. As the Moral Coin ranking was managed by Shenxi, he knew precisely what amount was required to place Hongyun in this position, thus fulfilling True Monarch Wuchen's directive. As a Holy Land Master, Shenxi naturally wouldn't directly alter the numbers. Instead, he arranged for Hongyun to join Ni Yuanzhong on the front lines of Shituling, and then had the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect and the Moral Sect assist the cultivators of the Five Sky-Burning Meridians by directing newly found demonic beasts to Hongyun for handling. Through these maneuvers, Hongyun managed to surpass Xingji by a slender margin of 100 Moral Coins.

Xingji, who had always been mild-mannered, turned ashen-faced upon seeing this. But even more displeased was Tude, who ranked ninth. He had poured out the entire foundation of the One-Origin Dao Palace, yet he still lagged behind both Xingji and Hongyun by over two million Moral Coins.

"Little friend, you take one first!"

True Monarch Wuchen feigned a glance at the list, then smilingly prompted Chen Mobai beside him to take a Sacred Spirit Pill. Chen Mobai didn't hesitate. Using his fifth-grade Empty Valley Echo, he subtly assessed the pills and selected the one with the most potent medicinal properties.

"Senior Brother Dakong didn't come; his pill will be taken by the Palace Master of Biluo on his behalf."

Next, Wuchen took his own pill and addressed the Palace Master of Biluo below. The latter immediately rose with a joyful expression, taking both her pill and True Monarch Dakong's. Next was Ni Yuanzhong. Chen Mobai observed his composed expression, yet his Empty Valley Echo detected a tumultuous heart rate, indicating intense emotional fluctuation. Chen Mobai looked at Yuan Zhen. On Tongtian Peak, Ye Qing still hadn't emerged from seclusion in the pagoda. Even if Ye Qing had arrived, by the rules, this Sacred Spirit Pill would still have been taken by Ni Yuanzhong, as anyone claiming a pill would have all their Moral Coins reset by the Moral Sect. Ye Qing had made no contribution, and thus had no Moral Coins.

"Master, I wish to return to the sect for secluded cultivation. Who would be suitable to take charge here?"

After Shenxi took the last pill for the Four Great Holy Lands, he asked True Monarch Wuchen for instructions. The Dongling Region, envisioned by the Eastern Continent's Righteous Path as the future core of humanity, had been overseen by Shenxi from its initial development to its current state. If he were to depart, it could lead to a period of disorder.

"Those are minor matters," True Monarch Wuchen replied casually. "Let Su'er come. It's time for her to take on significant responsibilities."

True Monarch Wuchen, however, was not particularly concerned; for the Moral Sect, nothing was as crucial as the emergence of a new Soul Transformation cultivator.

"Hongyun, this one is yours."

Finally, True Monarch Wuchen pointed to the last green jade vial. Hongyun immediately rose and bowed deeply to the Soul Transformation cultivator, knowing that without the Moral Sect's backing, he could never have outcompeted Xingji for this spot.

"Many thanks, True Monarch!"

After Hongyun took the Sacred Spirit Pill, he returned to his seat with a look of smug satisfaction.

"May I inquire, True Monarch," Xingji asked, unable to contain himself, "there's still one vial here. Is it also a Sacred Spirit Pill?"

The opportunity for Soul Transformation and the chance for the Star Heaven Dao Sect to become a Holy Land all hinged on this day.

"That's right, it is, but it only counts as half a pill..."

True Monarch Wuchen, who had been waiting for the question, immediately nodded and explained the nature of the last Sacred Spirit Pill.

"This junior ranks eighth," Xingji immediately requested. "I humbly ask the True Monarch to permit me to claim it!"

Mere pill impurities, he reasoned, would at most slightly affect its efficacy, but its primary function of aiding Soul Transformation would certainly remain intact. Moreover, the Star Heaven Dao Sect possessed a cherished, genuine Three Lights Divine Water, so he was willing to take the risk.

"Since you are willing, I naturally won't stop you!"

True Monarch Wuchen had been waiting for this. He pointed to the last vial of Sacred Spirit Pill on the table, motioning for Xingji to come forward and take it.

"True Monarch, I think this is inappropriate!"

But at that moment, Tude could no longer hold back. He stood up and blocked Xingji, who frowned, his pupils suddenly turning silver-white, his eyebrows and hair transforming into wisps of starlight as he glared furiously at Tude.

"Tude, this is a rule jointly established by the Four Great Holy Lands, and furthermore, Sect Master Chen is present!"

Xingji's murderous intent nearly erupted, but Tude, who had waited centuries for a Sacred Spirit Pill, no longer cared about losing face.

"Please, Sect Master, make the decision!"

Tude immediately turned around, performing a grand bow to Chen Mobai, asking him for help.

"Senior Brother Tude," Chen Mobai stated, "the rules for exchanging the Sacred Spirit Pills were discussed and unanimously agreed upon by all of us before the reclamation project began. If I were to make the decision, I could only permit Fellow Daoist Xingji to claim this last pill."

Chen Mobai, however, sided with reason over personal ties. He declared his stance with justice, even frowning slightly and looking at Tude with a hint of displeasure.

"Sect Master," Tude countered, "I naturally understand the rules. But hasn't this reclamation project yet concluded? The Dongling Region hasn't been fully developed. I believe it's improper to determine the order based on today's Moral Coin ranking. Please grant the rest of us a little more time..."

As Tude spoke, he subtly implicated all the Nascent Soul cultivators present. As his words fell, the other Nascent Soul cultivators present, who also coveted the Sacred Spirit Pill, nodded in agreement. Some of the bolder ones even openly expressed their support for Tude.

"That's true," many chimed in. "The reclamation has only been ongoing for a mere three and a half years. While it's thanks to the powerful might of the three True Monarchs that the formidable Golden-Flame Suanni was easily slain, the Dongling Region itself is still merely a prototype. I believe we should at least wait until this seventh region of the Eastern Barrens is fully developed and constructed before finalizing the ranking."

As the crowd buzzed with discussion and the tide appeared to be turning in Tude's favor, Xingji grew anxious. He addressed True Monarch Wuchen and Chen Mobai, saying, "To the two True Monarchs, the Eastern Li region has already suffered a counterattack from the Demonic Path. If we were to wait until the Dongling Region is fully developed before finalizing the list, wouldn't that grant the Demonic Path an opportunity to grow stronger? Time is of the essence. I believe our immediate priority should be for the Righteous Path to produce new Soul Transformation cultivators to suppress the Demonic Path."

As soon as Xingji spoke, True Monarch Wuchen and Chen Mobai both nodded. If they truly followed Tude's proposal, wouldn't it mean that their Four Great Holy Lands would also have to wait again? This was absolutely impossible! They, the Four Great Holy Lands, had already distributed the pills today; there was no reason to retract them.

"I think Xingji makes sense, little friend Chen, what do you say?"

True Monarch Wuchen intended to dismiss Tude's suggestion, but since Tude was ostensibly under Chen Mobai, he courteously sought Chen Mobai's opinion.

"I concur."

Chen Mobai nodded, showing agreement. He was eager for this matter to conclude so he could immediately return to the Immortal Sect for his seclusion; there was no way he would delay here any longer.

"Sect Master, your Moral Coin totals, and those of others, vastly surpass ours who are lower on the list," Tude explained. "My proposal is that, besides the initial six pills, Fellow Daoist Hongyun's pill and the half-pill still on the table could await their final distribution until the Dongling Region is fully developed. This would give all of us present continued motivation and better stimulate everyone's enthusiasm."

Tude had clearly thought this through. He knew that even if all the Nascent Soul cultivators present combined their efforts, they couldn't defy the will of two Soul Transformation True Monarchs. So, he focused on securing the six pills for the Four Great Holy Lands first, then concentrated his efforts on Hongyun's pill and the remaining half-pill.

"If you put it that way, Fellow Daoist," Xingji conceded, "I suppose there's some merit to it."

Xingji heard Tude's words, and suddenly felt that he was not so annoying. There was only a 100 Moral Coin difference between Xingji and Hongyun. Given more time, Xingji was confident he could surpass Hongyun's total. If he could claim the pill Hongyun possessed, Xingji would certainly not opt for the half-pill tainted with impurities.

Hongyun, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, suddenly felt a jolt as the focus shifted to him. Seeing the gazes of everyone present, he immediately bristled with indignation and roared, "I object!"

"Please, True Monarch, make the decision!"

After speaking, Hongyun immediately bowed to True Monarch Wuchen. He knew very well that without the support of a Soul Transformation cultivator, he might indeed have to relinquish his Sacred Spirit Pill today. Since he had a grievance with Chen Guixian, the latter might well seize this opportunity to make him suffer.

"Please, True Monarch, have mercy on our strenuous efforts in reclaiming this land!"

To everyone's surprise, both Xingji and Tude simultaneously bowed to True Monarch Wuchen and Chen Mobai. They were not alone; dozens of other Nascent Soul cultivators present followed suit. For most of them, acquiring a Sacred Spirit Pill was practically impossible, but seeing Hongyun potentially lose his was a welcome development. After all, the other six pills belonged to the Four Great Holy Lands—entities with profound backgrounds and immense power whom they dared not offend.

"Rules are rules," True Monarch Wuchen declared. "The seven Sacred Spirit Pills will be distributed according to today's ranking. However, I will give due consideration to the collective opinion of you all. As for this last half-pill, its exchange will be decided by the person with the most Moral Coins on the list, once the Dongling Region has been fully developed and constructed."

True Monarch Wuchen could hardly contradict himself. After all, he had personally promised Hongyun that pill, and the Pure World Pot was still in his possession, not yet returned. At his words, Hongyun, who had feared incurring collective wrath, visibly relaxed. He inwardly acknowledged that in the Eastern Continent, the Soul Transformation cultivators ultimately held sway.

"I object!" This time it was Xingji's turn to disagree. Why should he be singled out? If he had to wait along with Hongyun, he could accept it. But to have a Sacred Spirit Pill, already almost in his grasp, taken from him to appease the others—that, Xingji could not accept.

"Xingji, consider your words carefully before you utter them."

True Monarch Wuchen narrowed his eyes at Xingji, his tone slightly chilling. The words instantly reminded Xingji: a Soul Transformation cultivator must not be insulted. What he said in anger was equivalent to directly slapping True Monarch Wuchen's face. Under the oppressive might of the Soul Transformation, he immediately calmed down, bowing his head in apology. "Please forgive me, True Monarch," he said, "I lost my composure and spoke out of turn."

"Perhaps we should set a specific timeframe instead," Chen Mobai interjected, trying to smooth things over. "After all, 'the Dongling Region's full development and construction' is a rather broad and abstract outcome. This way, I believe everyone can accept it."

He was somewhat impressed by Tude's performance today. If Tude had displayed such courage during their past confrontation in the Eastern Lands, Chen Mobai might have genuinely struggled to ascend the Five Emperors Mountain and seize the One-Origin Dao Palace's legacy.

"Everything will be as the two True Monarchs decide."

Xingji nodded immediately, assuring them that he had truly been overcome by anger earlier and had no genuine intention of disrespecting a Soul Transformation cultivator.

"Then let's set a limit of ten years."

True Monarch Wuchen also did not object to Chen Mobai's proposal, and directly set a time limit.

"True Monarch is truly righteous!"

Seeing their struggle yield a result, albeit one akin to a stay of execution, Tude and the other Nascent Soul cultivators present all offered their thanks to True Monarch Wuchen and Chen Mobai.

"The initial three and a half years will be included, leaving you another six and a half years," True Monarch Wuchen clarified. "By then, I will personally come to unveil the final list and determine the ownership of this last half Sacred Spirit Pill." True Monarch Wuchen considered this; ten years still felt a bit long. He reasoned that those who consumed this half-pill would likely struggle to succeed, so it was better for them to take it sooner and confirm failure, saving himself, a Soul Transformation cultivator, the continued concern over the matter. Thus, he added the clarification.

Tude and the others also dared not object.

"Then let's disperse."

Seeing everyone nod, True Monarch Wuchen waved his hand. Soon, only people from the Four Great Holy Lands remained. Of course, Tude tactfully left.

"I will escort you back to your sects. All of you should hand over your current affairs."

True Monarch Wuchen said to Shenxi, Ni Yuanzhong, and Palace Master Biluo. Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised to hear this. Did these three really require a Soul Transformation cultivator's escort?

Just then, a violent spiritual energy fluctuation erupted within Dongling Immortal City. Using his fifth-grade Empty Valley Echo, Chen Mobai quickly discerned that Nascent Soul cultivators were engaged in combat. There were two Nascent Souls, encircling and attacking Hongyun.

"How audacious! I am still here!"

True Monarch Wuchen's formidable divine sense surged forth. With a grim expression, he produced a pill and flicked it towards the site of the combat. A dazzling purple-gold light erupted from the top floor of Qianyuan Tower, streaking across Dongling Immortal City like a meteor and incinerating the two hidden, masked Nascent Soul cultivators into ash.

"Many thanks, True Monarch, for your assistance!"

Hongyun immediately bowed towards Qianyuan Tower. With his cultivation, he could have easily handled the two attacking Nascent Souls. However, he had sensed the gazes and divine senses of over a dozen other Nascent Soul cultivators fixating on him the moment he left Qianyuan Tower. Had True Monarch Wuchen not intervened, he might very well have lost the Sacred Spirit Pill in his possession today.

"Fighting is prohibited within Dongling Immortal City. Violators will be killed without mercy!"

True Monarch Wuchen's chilling words, accompanied by his vast divine sense, echoed throughout Dongling Mountain. At that moment, Hongyun felt that giving away the Pure World Pot to the Five Sky-Burning Meridians had been an incredibly worthwhile exchange. Even if Wuchen didn't return it, Hongyun felt it was fine.

Under the deterrence of the Soul Transformation True Monarch, Hongyun safely returned to his courtyard in Dongling Immortal City and began making arrangements for his Soul Transformation.

"I apologize for showing such a spectacle to you, little friend Chen."

In Qianyuan Tower, after retrieving his pill, True Monarch Wuchen looked at Chen Mobai with a helpless expression. In a place like the Heavenly River Realm, cultivators were unbelievably brazen. Driven by avarice, they even dared to commit robbery in the very presence of a Soul Transformation cultivator. At this time, Chen Mobai also understood why True Monarch Wuchen personally escorted the three sect masters back to their sects. It was because there truly were cultivators who would make a move against them for the Sacred Spirit Pill. This was especially true for Ni Yuanzhong, as the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect no longer had a Soul Transformation cultivator, diminishing its deterrent power against others.

"It seems I also need to be a little careful when I go back."

Chen Mobai, however, said this with a smile, easing the atmosphere.

"I doubt there are any rogue cultivators audacious enough for that!" True Monarch Wuchen couldn't help but burst into laughter. In the entire Eastern Continent, only a Soul Transformation cultivator could possibly rob Chen Mobai, and the two from the Righteous Path certainly wouldn't. It wasn't as if the Flying Yaksha from the Eastern Li region would fly thousands of miles just for that, or the Xuanjiao Royal Court overseas.

Three days later, the three sect leaders, who had eagerly awaited the Sacred Spirit Pills, quickly delegated their responsibilities and vanished into the teleportation array with True Monarch Wuchen. Chen Mobai waited two days after seeing them off. Afterward, combat erupted once again in Hongyun's courtyard. As a Soul Transformation cultivator of the Righteous Path, he naturally had an undeniable duty to intervene. What surprised him, however, was that Hongyun had already left, and the one remaining in the courtyard was another Nascent Soul cultivator from the Fire Cloud Palace. The cultivators here clearly had extensive experience with such matters.

As Chen Mobai delegated the remaining affairs to Mo Douguang and prepared to return to the Eastern Barrens, Xingji suddenly approached him.
