Chapter 1553: Chapter 790: Ninth Level of Golden Core
Amidst the flickering silver light, Chen Mobai had already arrived at the Golden Crow Immortal City.
This Immortal City, established by the seashore, was once the domain of the Mysterious Sea, formerly the territory of the Demon Tribe’s Xuanjiao Royal Court. Guarded by a Divinity Transformation Mysterious Jiao, the abundant resources it had were coveted, yet the East Barbarians only dared to gather near the coastal edges of the land.
To the East Barbarians’ Cultivators, the Mysterious Sea bears similarity to Yun Meng Ze to those in the Eastern Wilderness.
Should a cultivator find life unbearable on land, they would venture deep into the Mysterious Sea to hunt demonic beasts, gather pearls, and harvest sea-grown Spiritual Medicine and the like.
During nearly ten thousand years of pioneering, many East Barbarian Cultivators have thus dramatically changed their fates.
The most famed of these is the ancestor of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.
Initially but a disciple of a minor sect, he was schemed against and cast into the deep sea during a voyage with a Commerce Association. Against all odds, he entered a mysterious Undersea Cave Mansion where he obtained a Nascent Soul Cultivation Method, Alchemy Jade Manual, and countless Thousand Year Medicine Herbs.
Leveraging the gains of that cave dwelling, the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace silently developed and eventually became the sect with the highest alchemy proficiency among the East Barbarians. They even cultivated a Nascent Soul Cultivator like Golden Wind Ancestor, who was mentioned in the same breath as those from Kong Sang Valley and Bather of The Sea Cultivator.
Regrettably, after thousands of years of depletion, the legacy left by the sea-bottom cave dwelling was nearly exhausted.
Till this day, signs of decline are visible in the Xuan Xiao Dao Palace.
Within Golden Crow Immortal City, Chen Mobai found Chu Zuoshu, who had been here for a while, running a rented shop by the dock, selling specialties from the Eastern Wilderness. While making a profit in Spirit Stones, he was also gathering and reporting information for the Five Elements Sect.
“Sect Leader, at regular intervals, fleets will set sail from this Golden Crow Immortal City to venture into the deepest parts of the Tianhe Realm’s Mysterious Sea, hoping to change their destiny.”
The two were conversing on the third-floor balcony of the shop, overlooking the vast Mysterious Sea outside, with Chu Zuoshu’s words seemingly filled with yearning.
“Yet another untapped treasure trove,” said Chen Mobai upon hearing this.
The oceans always contain the most resources and treasures.
Regrettably, similar to Di Yuan Star, due to the vast Sea Territory, it is also like a private garden for those Divinity Transformation beings.
“If you, Sect Leader, achieve Divinity Transformation one day and unite the East Barren East Yi regions, our Five Elements Sect might just be able to take possession of the endless resources of this span of Mysterious Sea.”
Expressing his innermost thoughts, Chu Zuoshu received a slight head shake from Chen Mobai in response.
“I have not even undergone Nascent Soul Formation, and yet you’re already looking so far ahead,” Chen Mobai remarked.
Having said this, he took his leave.
The purpose of his visit to Golden Crow Immortal City, through the Large-scale Transmission Array of the Star Heaven Dao Sect, was merely a detour.
Thinking of Chu Zuoshu who had led faithfully for over twenty years here, Chen Mobai felt it was only proper to meet him since he was in the vicinity.
Having now paid his visit and reminisced, it was time to depart.
“Won’t you stay a couple more days, Sect Leader? Golden Crow Immortal City has many attractions to offer,” Chu Zuoshu couldn’t believe that Chen Mobai planned to stay not even a single day.
As the foremost Immortal City of the East Barbarians, even considered the gateway of commerce between the Three Regions of the Dongzhou Frontier and the East Land, the splendor of Golden Crow Immortal City and its wealth of resources were rival to those of the great sects’ cities.
Here, with the right connections and sufficient Spirit Stones, nearly all the major resources produced above East Continent could be purchased.
Several furnaces of elixirs concocted by Yan Shaoyin were composed of numerous expensive Thousand Year Medicine Herbs, all of which were exchanged and purchased here.
“No need, I’ve been away too long, and I am beginning to miss the Eastern Wilderness,” Chen Mobai replied with a smile. As he was leaving, he also mentioned to Chu Zuoshu about the final ingredient needed for the Lingyuan Pill, the Wind Spirit Vine.
“As you wish, Sect Leader. However, the Wind Spirit Vine Sunbathing Sea is usually supplied directly to Dao Morale Sect, it may be difficult to acquire,” Chu Zuoshu agreed immediately but also mentioned the difficulty.
“Do the best you can. And by the way, you have been here for quite some time. If you wish to return to the sect, I can arrange for someone to take your place once I’m back,” Chen Mobai reminded him of this matter, sparking a flicker of interest in Chu Zuoshu.
Chu Zuoshu had come to this place to achieve Core Formation and had stayed after failing, mending his wounds. He then, as per Chen Mobai’s orders, established a shop to gather the necessary resources and information for the sect up to now.
Last year, Chu Zuoshu saw Yue Zutao leading the Five Elements Commerce Association to the East Land.
It was bittersweet to watch his former disciple surpass and outdo him by successfully undertaking Core Formation.
Both were given the same condition – a single dose of the Jade Return Pill.
Yet he had failed, while his disciple had succeeded.
This sparked in Chu Zuoshu a sense of poignancy and desolation.
After learning of Meng Hong’s failure to achieve Core Formation despite using the Golden Liquid Jade Pill in conjunction with a Heterodox Golden Core, Chu Zuoshu felt even more that the era no longer belonged to them old-timers.
“Sect Leader, if the sect intends to train disciples, you can send people here. If manpower is scarce, I can carry on for another decade or more,” Chu Zuoshu then spoke up.
With a slight smile, Chen Mobai finished his drink and disappeared in a flash of silver light.
Half a day after his departure,
Zhu Jun walked out from the Large-scale Transmission Array with a dark expression, accompanied by two junior Disciples.
“Summon the disciples responsible for this month’s rotation at the Transmission Array to see me,” she instructed immediately upon arrival, delegating tasks to the two junior disciples then turning to address the Sect Guarding Cultivators stationed there.
