Of the three border regions in the East Continent, only Dongyi had yet to fall under the rule of the Five Elements Sect. The biggest obstacle, naturally, was the Golden Crow Immortal City.
There was also the territory of Kongsang Valley, but after the last war between the righteous and demonic factions, Bitter Bamboo led his core disciples in an escape from which they have not yet returned. As allies, and to prevent the territory from being occupied by rogues, Chen Mobai had the Five Elements Sect temporarily manage it. This meant that the only area not yet under the control of the Five Elements Sect was the Sunbath Sea.
After Chen Mobai achieved the Soul Transformation realm, if he were willing to act, he could easily eliminate Old Ancestor Baiwu. The Golden Crow Immortal City's so-called fifth-tier formation was as fragile as paper against him, who possessed the Tongtian Zhiyidiling realm.
However, he had just cultivated the Grand Dao of Saintly Virtue. Such acts of bullying were definitely out of the question, as they would tarnish his virtue. Furthermore, his lifelong good reputation could not be ruined by this. The Sunbath Sea needed to willingly offer up its Immortal City and territory. Chen Mobai's thoughts shifted, and he immediately grasped the key.
“It's a great loss for our righteous path in the East Continent that Fellow Daoist Hongyun was ambushed and disappeared,” Chen Mobai sighed, reaching for the half-sixth-tier tree heart. He then continued, “Not long ago, I collaborated with the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect to severely wound and repel two fifth-tier true spirits from the Black Flood Dragon Royal Court. Before escaping, the old flood dragon vowed to lead millions of demons from the Profound Sea ashore to avenge this defeat. As the foremost defensive line of the East Continent's righteous path, the Sunbath Sea, without a prominent figure like Fellow Daoist Hongyun leading, I hope you will diligently perform your duties and remember not to let the Golden Crow Immortal City fall!”
Upon hearing this, Liu Nansheng's face paled slightly, and his body nearly swayed. During the last righteous-demonic war, even with a Soul Transformation realm expert from the Grand Void Ethereal Palace guarding it, the Golden Crow Immortal City was on the verge of collapse, almost overwhelmed by the Profound Sea demon race. It was clear that the Black Flood Dragon Royal Court had not been serious then, merely cooperating with the demonic path to see if they could seize the opportunity to weaken the East Continent's righteous forces. If Chen Mobai's words were true, then the Sunbath Sea would soon face an unprecedented catastrophe. The Sunbath Sea, by itself, would certainly not be able to hold out.
“As a Soul Transformation venerable of our East Continent's righteous path, Immortal Venerable Chen will surely lend a hand, won't he?” Liu Nansheng asked somewhat reservedly, after thinking it through.
“Of course, but my Five Elements Sect also has territories bordering the Profound Sea in Dongyi. I am spread thin and will certainly prioritize defending my own territory first. As a legacy of the Burning Heaven Holy Land, and with its fifth-tier grand formation, I believe the Golden Crow Immortal City can be held.” Chen Mobai placed the metallic-looking jade tree heart back into its box and gestured for Gu Yan beside him to put it away.
Gu Yan had recently successfully formed her core. Considering that Chen Mobai was now a Soul Transformation ancestor, it wouldn't do for him to be without an attendant, so Qing Nü reassigned her. Chen Mobai had no objections. After all, his disciples were now all capable of handling their own affairs, each burdened with important tasks he had assigned. For other trivial matters like communication, it was indeed convenient to have an assistant. Because of this, Gu Yan, who had just formed her core, became an object of envy for all cultivators in the Five Elements Sect. Everyone wished they could take her place. Even several Nascent Soul cultivators felt the same.
“I'll accept the gift. Please thank Fellow Daoist Baiwu for me. However, business is business, and personal matters are personal. If the Golden Crow Immortal City falls, as a Soul Transformation venerable of the righteous path, I will show no mercy.”
As soon as Chen Mobai uttered these words, Liu Nansheng's face became uglier than if he were crying. But facing a Soul Transformation expert, he could only take these words back with him.

In the Sunbath Sea.
After listening to Liu Nansheng's report, Old Ancestor Baiwu also sighed repeatedly. At that moment, he deeply regretted why he had opposed the Five Elements Sect in the first place. The incident began with his deceased disciple, Zhu Jun. However, Old Ancestor Baiwu knew very well that the root cause was even earlier. When Old Ancestor Hunyuan died, the Five Elements Sect's methods were, in his view, unsavory.
Previously, relying on being part of the Five Veins of Burning Heaven, even as the Five Elements Sect grew stronger, he hadn't felt his life was in danger. At worst, he could hide in the Immortal City for life, or if absolutely necessary, go to the Eastern Lands. But after Chen Mobai displayed Soul Transformation strength during the pioneering period, he grew worried. Now that Chen Mobai had truly reached the Soul Transformation realm, and Hongyun, the greatest reliance of the Five Veins of Burning Heaven, had disappeared, Old Ancestor Baiwu knew that his life and death were no longer his own.
Old Ancestor Baiwu clearly understood that his continued survival was due to Chen Mobai being a virtuous person of noble character! Having such an opponent made Old Ancestor Baiwu both thankful and greatly perplexed. How could such a character not have died young, or been harmed by others?
“Master, Old Ancestor Chen's meaning is very clear. The Sunbath Sea will only receive his protection once it becomes his territory. We...” Liu Nansheng watched Old Ancestor Baiwu pace back and forth in the hall, also understanding the meaning of Chen Mobai's words. He felt conflicted but, inwardly, quite hopeful as he spoke.
As their biggest rival, the Sunbath Sea's research into the Five Elements Sect was thorough. Liu Nansheng knew that the Five Elements Sect treated all surrendered forces equally. As long as they weren't deeply wicked and unrepentant rogue cultivators, they could enjoy the normal treatment of Eastern Barren residents after surrendering. With Liu Nansheng's wealth as a Core Formation cultivator, he would be able to fully purchase a residence in an Immortal City under the Five Elements Sect. He would also enjoy various privileges, such as participating in lotteries to buy limited resources. He had long coveted several elixirs from the Danxia Pavilion; if he could acquire them, he estimated he could break through his bottleneck. Therefore, Liu Nansheng was very much looking forward to Old Ancestor Baiwu surrendering the city.
But he certainly couldn't say that. After all, Old Ancestor Baiwu was not Immortal Venerable Chen. Though he was his master, he was a true petty person.
“The Golden Crow Immortal City has stood here for ten thousand years, enduring countless storms and waves, remaining unyielding. Now that its legacy is in my hands, it will continue to exist. Chen Guixian isn't the only Soul Transformation expert in the East Continent!” Old Ancestor Baiwu stopped pacing, his face having regained its composure, and uttered words that deeply disappointed Liu Nansheng.
“Yes, Master.” Just as he was about to bow out, Old Ancestor Baiwu called out to him.
“Go to the Eastern Lands and inquire about the situation of the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect to see if Chen Guixian's words are true. I will contact a few of my fellow senior disciples to see if we should visit True Monarch Wuchen at the Daoist Sect...” In Old Ancestor Baiwu's opinion, the Daoist Sect was highly suspicious regarding Hongyun's disappearance. After all, if Hongyun died and True Monarch Wuchen concealed the Pure World Gourd, the Five Veins of Burning Heaven would have no means, nor the courage, to demand it. But precisely because of this, the Daoist Sect would certainly try to prove its innocence. Perhaps they could even gain some benefits from this situation.
Thinking this, Old Ancestor Baiwu could not sit still. After Liu Nansheng left, he immediately contacted the other Nascent Soul cultivators of the Five Veins of Burning Heaven. After all, the Sun God Tree in the Golden Crow Immortal City, like the Pure World Gourd, was considered common property of the Five Veins of Burning Heaven. Now that their nefarious neighbor coveted this and wanted to claim it for himself, Old Ancestor Baiwu naturally had to notify all potential allies first.

Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect.
Yuan Zhen secretly flew out from the Heaven-Reaching Dao Refining Pagoda, searching for something within the transformed Heaven-Reaching Peak mountain range. After a long while, she arrived at a valley covered by the edge of the Profound Heaven Demon-Slaying Formation. Even with the protection of the grand formation, the trees here were scattered and askew, with some of the tallest even broken. Following a mysterious mental connection, Yuan Zhen came before a broken giant tree. With a gentle wave of her delicate hand, the giant tree lifted, revealing a communication talisman pressed beneath it.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhen couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. At that time, she thought she was certainly going to die, so she unleashed this communication talisman meant for Chen Mobai. However, she hadn't anticipated that the Soul Transformation battle above Heaven-Reaching Peak would involve the chaotic control and mobilization of various Heaven and Earth spiritual energies. Not long after the talisman flew out, its core runes were damaged by the aftermath, and it fell.
“Thankfully, it wasn't sent!” Yuan Zhen thankfully put away the communication talisman, looked up at the sky, and recalled Chen Mobai's glorious image from not long ago: appearing like a god, slaying the White Bone Dharma King with a single sword, and his Three Phoenix Dharma Idol repelling the Black Flood Dragon Royal Court. If it weren't for him, she would now be ashes, unable to withstand the power of the Void Refinement realm. Furthermore, recalling that Chen Mobai had thoughtfully left behind a stream of Three Lights Divine Water before departing, the more Yuan Zhen thought about it, the more she felt that she would likely never be able to repay this kindness in her lifetime.
Just then, a communication talisman flew over and landed in front of Yuan Zhen. It was from Ni Yuanzhong, summoning her to discuss important matters. Yuan Zhen immediately composed herself and headed towards the main hall of the sect.
Yuan Qingque had long since returned to the Spirit Void Immortal Realm. After all, the essence of his Void Refinement cultivation was a tremendous burden for Yuan Zhen every moment it remained within her. However, before leaving, Yuan Qingque had given instructions on several important matters. The most important of these was naturally the gift of gratitude for Chen Mobai.
He had previously discerned that Chen Mobai's Grand Art of One Yuan Dao Body was not yet completely perfected due to a lack of Nine Heavens Pure Qi. Conveniently, the top floor of the Heaven-Reaching Dao Refining Pagoda could draw in seventh-tier immortal spiritual energy. This was the source of Nine Heavens Pure Qi. It was precisely because Yuan Qingque had access to such resources that he was able to become another ascended cultivator after True Monarch Yiyuan.
Originally, according to tradition, after Ni Yuanzhong reached the Soul Transformation realm, he could use and refine this immortal spiritual energy, thus allowing him to raise his cultivation level in the shortest possible time. But now, according to Yuan Qingque's wishes, this immortal spiritual energy was to be given to Chen Mobai as a gift of gratitude, to help him perfect his One Yuan Dao Body. Ni Yuanzhong also agreed to this. After all, if Chen Mobai hadn't intervened, he would have long since died at the hands of the White Bone Dharma King.
The current discussion within the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect was whether to invite Chen Mobai directly to the topmost floor of the Heaven-Reaching Dao Refining Pagoda to refine the immortal spiritual energy, or to seal the energy and send it to him. The former naturally showed more respect, but as it was a forbidden area, outsiders were, in principle, not allowed to enter. Furthermore, doing so would require informing the Ancestral Master of the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect. Yuan Qingque, however, found it irrelevant. Given Chen Mobai's talent, he would ascend sooner or later anyway, so he felt it was fine to introduce him to the Ancestral Master early.
Before he left, he specifically instructed Ni Yuanzhong and others to treat this matter with the highest priority. Besides the immortal spiritual energy, they were to check the sect's treasury for any other suitable treasures to serve as a congratulatory gift for his Soul Transformation. The main reason for summoning Yuan Zhen now was to discuss this.
“Junior Sister, please sit.” Seeing Yuan Zhen arrive, Ni Yuanzhong, his face still slightly pale, smiled and pointed to a meditation mat beside him. Many influential Nascent Soul elders present also nodded at her with smiles. Although Yuan Qingque hadn't taken action, Yuan Zhen's willingness to sacrifice herself to save the sect still earned the admiration of all cultivators in the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect.
Originally, many Nascent Soul elders had complained that her talent was ordinary and that she had become a Saintess merely by relying on the Yuan family. Now, after learning the truth, they all felt ashamed. It turned out that becoming a Saintess was a sacrifice. They had misunderstood. Yuan Zhen, with a reserved expression, nodded in return to the elders, then sat beside Ye Qing.
“This is the list of congratulatory gifts we discussed. See if there's anything you'd like to add?” Ni Yuanzhong handed a jade slip to Yuan Zhen. He had consumed a precious medicine from the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect, which could temporarily suppress his injuries. Once the aftermath was handled, he would step down and enter seclusion. After reaching the Soul Transformation realm, there was no longer a need for him to remain in the position of sect leader. With Ye Qing, his excellent junior brother, Ni Yuanzhong felt very much at ease. Now, most other matters were settled; only Chen Mobai's gratitude gift remained.
Yuan Zhen quickly finished reading the jade slip. It contained many precious medicinal ingredients, which, if she recalled correctly, the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce had been acquiring from the Eastern Lands for a long time. Because the lowest grade was fourth-tier, only a few plants had been collected over many years. Relying on the holy land's foundation and influence, the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect had now almost completely gathered all of them. However, Yuan Zhen felt it was still not enough. After all, the most precious items on the list were merely some fifth-tier medicinal ingredients, which would be of little use to Chen Mobai, a Soul Transformation ancestor.
“I recall that within the sect's treasury, there is a piece of sixth-tier Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Gold. As the East Continent's foremost artifact refiner, presenting this as the culminating congratulatory gift would truly demonstrate our sect's sincerity!” After closing the jade slip, Yuan Zhen voiced her opinion.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions instantly turned to shock.“That was left by the third generation ascended Ancestral Master.”“In the past, the Taihe Sword was refined by incorporating the Nine Splendor Immortal Green Stone that accompanied it, allowing it to advance from low-grade sixth-tier to mid-grade...”“Isn't this too much sincerity?!”
Even for a ten-thousand-year-old holy land sect like the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect, sixth-tier spiritual items were exceedingly rare, and the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Gold was one of them. In the past, when the third generation Ancestral Master was condensing his Dharma Idol during the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation, two pieces of immortal gold fell from the upper realm and were intercepted and acquired by him. One of them, the Nine Splendor Immortal Green Stone, which was compatible with the Taihe Sword's attributes, was requested by them from a Soul Transformation realm artifact refiner in Nanzhou to be incorporated into the sword for its enhancement. That artifact refiner also achieved the sixth tier through this. As for the remaining piece of Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Gold, had its properties not been incompatible with their sect's cultivation methods, it would likely have been used up like the Nine Splendor Immortal Green Stone. Handed down to the present, this item had become one of the symbols of the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect's treasury.
If it were simply given away, many Nascent Soul elders would be reluctant. After all, seventh-tier immortal spiritual energy could continuously accumulate in wisps as long as the Heaven-Reaching Dao Refining Pagoda and the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Ancestral Master in the upper realm existed. But this Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Gold was unique; once given, it would be gone.
“Old Ancestor, what do you think?” One of the Nascent Soul elders looked at Ni Yuanzhong, seeking his opinion. After this tribulation, Yuan Zhen's status in the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect was completely different, second only to Ni Yuanzhong and Ye Qing, the next sect leader. If anyone wanted to object to her, only they could speak. However, Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen had grown up together, and he was also a close friend of Chen Mobai. His current silence clearly indicated his tacit agreement. Now, it was up to Ni Yuanzhong, the Soul Transformation ancestor, to make the final decision.
“Add it!” To this, Ni Yuanzhong simply uttered these two words. As a Soul Transformation cultivator, he understood Chen Mobai's strength better than anyone. To have such terrifying achievements right after entering Soul Transformation implied that in the future, he would at least reach the peak of Soul Transformation, or even ascend. Moreover, the debt of gratitude he and the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect owed this time was immense. If giving this piece of sixth-tier Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Gold could repay it, Ni Yuanzhong even felt it would be worth it. This would also prevent future generations of disciples from feeling subservient to the Five Elements Sect because of this connection.
After Ni Yuanzhong nodded, the matter could no longer be changed.
“As for the immortal spiritual energy, Junior Brother, please trouble yourself to ask Fellow Daoist Chen when you deliver the congratulatory gift if he is willing to come to our sect's Heaven-Reaching Dao Refining Pagoda to refine it?” After handling this last and most important matter, Ni Yuanzhong, in front of all the Nascent Soul elders present, took out a dark jade seal and handed it to Ye Qing. “From this day forward, the sect is entrusted to you, Junior Brother!”
Ye Qing stood up solemnly, approached Ni Yuanzhong, and received the dark jade seal with both hands. After receiving the seal, he would become the sect leader of the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect. Originally, according to the standards of a holy land, a grand ceremony would be held to announce this matter to all forces in the East Continent. However, given the current circumstances of the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect, it was not suitable for a grand celebration. Thus, everything was simplified. After the internal succession of the sect leader's position, only holy lands of comparable status and forces allied with them in the Eastern Lands received notifications.
After assuming the position of sect leader, Ye Qing's first task was to prepare all the congratulatory gifts listed in the jade slip and travel to the Eastern Barren. Yuan Zhen also very much wanted to go, but she needed to seize this rare opportunity to improve her strength. Yuan Qingque's descent had forcefully raised her Dao Body to the fifth-tier level to unleash his power. Now that he had departed, this realm was slowly declining. Therefore, Yuan Zhen had been cultivating on the topmost floor of the Heaven-Reaching Dao Refining Pagoda these days. She aimed to take advantage of her current fresh memories and profound impressions to stabilize her fifth-tier body tempering realm and simultaneously refine the Nine Heavens Dao Fruit more deeply. She fully understood that this was a rare opportunity in the ten-thousand-year history of the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect. She was the first to experience an ascended Ancestral Master from the upper realm descend and act through her, without her own cultivation being the primary force. If she could achieve Soul Transformation through this, living for two thousand years, she might even outlive Qing Nü. With her sights set on the future, Yuan Zhen gritted her teeth, cultivating with an intensity unmatched since her birth.

Eastern Barren.
North Abyss City, already densely populated, had become even more crowded with people recently. After Chen Mobai achieved Soul Transformation, the real estate prices in this Immortal City soared several times over again. Cultivators who owned property in North Abyss City had never imagined there was such a way to suddenly increase their net worth by several times.
Shen Shanqing, who had already made real estate his primary business, even convinced Old Ancestors Pao Long and Peng Feng to have Heavenly Cuisine Pavilion enter the real estate industry in addition to catering. He thumped his chest and declared that North Abyss City's real estate prices would certainly skyrocket again within the next century. This was because it was the foundational Immortal City of the Five Elements Sect, and according to Chen Mobai's formation cultivation, it might even be upgraded to a sixth-tier spiritual vein in the future.
Old Ancestors Pao Long and Peng Feng conducted a market survey and personally witnessed North Abyss City's real estate prices soar within a single month, with the increase exceeding the total value of over a hundred Heavenly Cuisine Pavilions. They only regretted why they hadn't bought more properties. This was because with Chen Mobai's Soul Transformation, almost all Nascent Soul forces from the Eastern Lands sent their disciples to deliver gifts and, at the same time, purchased real estate. After all, if another righteous-demonic war broke out in the Eastern Lands, they could seek refuge here. In that case, even the Daoist Sect and the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect would have little to say. After all, this was Immortal Venerable Chen's territory. The entry of over a hundred Nascent Soul forces from the Eastern Lands was also one of the reasons for North Abyss City's surging real estate prices.
It wasn't just North Abyss City; real estate prices in all Immortal Cities under the Five Elements Sect, even the most remote ones like Dongwu, Dongyi, and the Barren Ruins, were rising daily. E Yun was the happiest. The spiritual stones in the Five Elements Sect's account had increased by several billion within a month due to real estate transactions. Let alone the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect, no one in the entire East Continent had ever encountered such a situation.
“Sect Leader, even plundering and mining a large spiritual stone mine wouldn't bring in spiritual stones this fast!” E Yun immediately reported this good news to Chen Mobai, using a vivid analogy.
“Wealth moves hearts. Have Yu Lian strengthen the defensive capabilities of all major Immortal Cities to prevent rogue cultivators from causing trouble.” Chen Mobai, however, remained expressionless. After all, the Immortal Gate had long since experienced such times; now it was even a real estate bubble. Moreover, for him, spiritual stones were of little use anymore; only top-grade spiritual stones were worthy of being put into his storage bag. But for other cultivators, this was a vast fortune that could ensure a lifetime of worry-free living.
North Abyss City had the most high-level cultivators from the Five Elements Sect, so there was no need to worry. However, other remote Immortal Cities, especially Dongwu, Dongyi, and even the Barren Ruins, might see rogue cultivators taking desperate measures because of this. After all, according to Chen Mobai's new policies, most of the spiritual stones obtained from real estate sales in the various Immortal Cities were to be kept locally for local development.
“Yes, Sect Leader. This is a good opportunity to dispatch all the Core Formation cultivators in the sect to stand guard, to prevent them from lounging around North Abyss City all day.” E Yun nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. As the core of the Eastern Barren, North Abyss City's resources were unparalleled elsewhere. Additionally, being a fifth-tier spiritual vein, most of the Five Elements Sect's Core Formation cultivators stayed here when there were no urgent matters.
After E Yun left, Yin Qingmei also returned from Dongling Immortal City. Pioneering was still ongoing there, but upon hearing the news of Chen Mobai's successful Soul Transformation, all disciples of the Five Elements Sect were greatly encouraged. However, since there was no direct teleportation array, Yin Qingmei, as their representative, had only just arrived.
“Congratulations, Sect Leader, on achieving Soul Transformation and a lifespan of two thousand years!” Since Gu Yan was present, Yin Qingmei addressed him by his title when offering congratulations. Chen Mobai smiled, bade her to rise, and inquired about the situation in the Dongling Region.
His Soul Transformation was truly too fast. The deadline set by True Monarch Wuchen for exchanging the last half-pill of the Heavenly Saint True Spirit Pill had not yet arrived, so Xing Ji and Tude were still leading their disciples in hunting demon beasts in the Barren Ruins. Among them, Tude was very lucky. He encountered a mid-fourth-tier Golden-backed Ape in the depths of the Barren Ruins, used his Primordial Dao Fruit to unleash his One Yuan Dao Body, and slew it, surpassing Xing Ji. But Xing Ji also played it safe, hunting various third-tier demon beasts while leading the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Stargazing Dao Sect deeper into the Barren Ruins, also preparing to hunt fourth-tier demon beasts. This struggle would likely only settle in the final moments.
“They're still competing?” Chen Mobai paused slightly after hearing this. Did this not mean that Hongyun's ambush was not their doing? If it were them, it would surely have been one Heavenly Saint True Spirit Pill per person, agreed upon in advance, and the competition wouldn't be so fierce now. So, who was it then? Hongyun's cultivation wasn't weak. To make him disappear without a trace, could it be... a Soul Transformation expert!? Thinking of this, Chen Mobai also thought of True Monarch Wuchen. After all, according to local customs, he was the most suspicious. However, Chen Mobai's few brief exchanges with True Monarch Wuchen made him realize that although this senior's virtue was not as noble as his own, he was a true righteous cultivator and should not be capable of such an act.
Just then, Chen Mobai's mind stirred slightly. He sensed Ye Qing's aura.
“Go invite Brother Ye over here!” Chen Mobai instructed Gu Yan. Ye Qing had arrived via a large teleportation array, and besides him, there were two other peak Nascent Soul auras. These were likely the three highest-ranking individuals in the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect, apart from their Soul Transformation expert.
“Brother Chen!” After Ye Qing entered the main hall with Gu Yan, he greeted him with a smile.
“Please sit. And how should I address these two fellow Daoists?” Chen Mobai responded with a smile, then looked at the two who had entered with Ye Qing: a middle-aged man in luxurious robes and a white-haired elder.
“Wu Tianchi (Yuan Huanghe), greetings to Old Ancestor Chen!” Without needing Ye Qing to speak, both immediately introduced themselves and bowed deeply to Chen Mobai.
“I have indeed heard of your esteemed names. Please, be seated!” Chen Mobai was aware of the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect's top Nascent Soul cultivators, especially Yuan Huanghe, the head of the Yuan family and Yuan Qingque's grand-nephew.
“Thank you, Old Ancestor Chen. This is our sect's congratulatory gift. Please accept it!” Yuan Huanghe took out a storage bag and presented it respectfully with both hands.
“Oh, how could you? Your presence alone is enough...” Chen Mobai naturally demurred at first.
