Chapter 414: Chapter 306: Gold Core Takes Action_2
“Doesn’t Mountain Shaker Peak want to go to war with our Divine Wood Sect?”
From the simplest perspective, Yan Jinye voiced her understanding.
“Mountain Shaker Peak only has one Gold Core elder, how could they dare to go against our Divine Wood Sect?”
Yue Zutao didn’t understand at all, and Chen Mobai knew even less.
They could only wait for news from Yuan Chiye.
After finishing their drinks, the two of them bid their farewells and left with heavy hearts.
After exchanging the news, they both sensed a storm brewing.
The Eastern Wilderness, which hadn’t seen conflict in over fifty years, might once again be on the brink of war.
Chen Mobai could only sigh.
If it were possible, he would prefer to just farm, practice his swordplay, and paint his talismans.
However, in the Tianhe Realm, these aspirations were a luxury for most cultivators.
The last prolonged era of peace in the Eastern Wilderness was when the Hun Yuan elder was alive. The Five Elements Sect then reigned supreme for five hundred years, with all cultivation forces bowing their heads in deference.
Now, in the Seven Great Sects of the Eastern Wilderness, the one with the most promising chances of Nascent Soul Formation was Zhou Shengqing from the Divine Wood Sect.
However, moving into the Nascent Soul Formation stage is considered a life-and-death situation for Eastern Wilderness cultivators. Therefore, Zhou Shengqing might need to cultivate another Golden Core cultivator for the Divine Wood Sect before attempting it.
When he was alone, Chen Mobai speculated about the thinking of the higher-ups in the sect and the situation in the Eastern Wilderness.
The more Golden Core cultivators the Divine Wood Sect had, the worse it would be for the other major sects in the Eastern Wilderness.
After all, during the peak of the Five Elements Sect’s prominence, they only had one Nascent Soul and six Golden Core members.
If the Divine Wood Sect had three Golden Core cultivators, they might even be able to challenge the remaining three branches of the Five Elements Sect alone.
So, did the Five Elements Sect have a hand in all this?
Chen Mobai felt as though he had grasped a hint of the truth when he thought up to this point.
However, as far as he was concerned, the best thing would be to avoid conflicts.
To avoid missing out on the latest news from the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai spent most of the year in Xiao Nanshan.
Hua Zijing still had a year left in the Daoist Academy, so it wouldn’t be a waste of her talent.
One day.
While Chen Mobai was explaining laws to Liu Wenbo on the peak of Xiao Nanshan, his expression suddenly changed as he looked towards the very center of Giant Tree Ridge.
A surge of great and vast spiritual power emerged from the top of an Everlife Wood, turning into a Qingyang green sun, breaking through the sky and heading north.
“Master, this is…”
Liu Wenbo voice trembled. He had never felt such a powerful spiritual machine. It was like a tremendous wave sweeping half the sky. Faced with this spiritual power, he felt like an ant facing an elephant, liable to be crushed at any moment.
“It should be Elder Zhou.”
Although Chen Mobai had encountered many Golden Core cultivators from the Immortal Sect, the only time he truly faced one was back in Red Sandstone City when dealing with the mysterious person from the Ascension Sect.
He had the same feeling this time round.
Even though his cultivation level had improved, facing the vast spiritual power of the Golden Core cultivator, he still felt a sense of unstoppable power.
“Master, are we going to war?”
At this time, Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan also hurriedly rushed up from the bottom of the mountain. With looks of panic on their faces, they had nearly the same thoughts as Chen Mobai.
“Wen Bo and Xuan, prepare yourselves. If the Divine Wood Sect goes to war with another sect, Ming will stay at Xiao Nanshan. You two will come with me into battle.”
Although Chen Mobai was reluctant to fight, he has, over the years, come to see himself as a part of the Divine Wood Sect and had long since made up his mind about what he would do in such a situation.
“Yes, Master!”
Both Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan didn’t hesitate at all. As cultivators born and raised in the Tianhe Realm, they saw this kind of situation as a matter of course.
On the other hand, Zhuo Ming looked a bit hesitant. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to volunteer, but at this moment, Chen Mobai had already mounted his “Red Misty Cloud Silk” and left Xiao Nanshan, heading for Reward Virtue Hall.
After all, he was currently part of the Reward Virtue Hall’s organization. Plus, why would Elder Zhou suddenly leave the sect in what seemed like a fit of rage?
As the next sect leader, Chu Zuoshu certainly knew about these matters.
“They are here.”
Unexpectedly, when Chen Mobai arrived, most of the people he recognized from the Reward Virtue Hall were already there. Yue Zutao and Sun Gaochang greeted him, and Chen Mobai joined them.
Chu Zuoshu sat calmly in his own seat, nodding in acknowledgment as he saw Chen Mobai enter.
On his left and right, there were two Foundation Establishment cultivators, a man and a woman, who were strangers to him.
Through Yue Zutao’s voice transmission introduction, Chen Mobai found out that these were the Vice Hall Masters of the Reward Virtue Hall, Luo Xue’er, and the Inspector, Fu Huakun.
Luo Xue’er was from the Shenmu Hall, and Fu Huakun was from the Penalty Evil Hall, both were late stages of the Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Sometime later, six more Foundation Establishment cultivators arrived.
One of them was Shan Hongyi, who Chen Mobai knew. They exchanged greetings through eye contact.
“Jiang Shougang and Xu Gongming are not in the sect and He Ruping is in closed-door cultivation, so we don’t need to wait for them.”
At this time, Chu Zuoshu spoke up.
There were twelve Inspection Envoys of the Foundation Building Realm in the Reward Virtue Hall, and Chen Mobai, Yue Zutao, and Sun Gaochang were among them.
Some of these inspection envoys also belonged to the factions of the vice hall masters and inspectors.
If it weren’t for the grand spiritual sense of Elder Zhou coming out of seclusion that startled them, even Chu Zuoshu might not have been able to summon them all so easily on a normal day.
“Our elder has gone to fight Ji Zhenshi, we should also prepare, we may have to go to war with Shake Mountain.”
Chu Zuoshu’s speech was very straightforward, getting right to the point.
Luo Xue’er and Fu Huakun, who were next to him, seemed to have known this in advance, and their expressions were serious.
“I will ask for the leader’s permission to lead a team to Lei Nation. You will be in charge of the things in the hall, and Inspector Fu will accompany me.”
The three of them seemed to have discussed it beforehand, and as Chu Zuoshu gave his orders, Fu Huakun, who usually liked to argue a bit, immediately nodded in agreement.
“You two arrange the following matters, Inspector Yue and Inspector Chen will accompany me to the Shenmu Hall.”
Chu Zuoshu waved his sleeve and rose from his seat. Yue Zutao immediately pulled Chen Mobai, and it took him a moment to realize that he was the “Inspector Chen” being referred to.
On the way, Chen Mobai finally learned what had happened.
It turned out that today, the soul lantern of Luo Shupin, the town guard of Lei Nation stationed inside the Shenmu Sect, had shattered. This signified that he had been killed.
Moreover, the soul lanterns of Yuan Chiye and Fu Xingzhou had started to dim, indicating that their divine senses had suffered serious damage and were in a very dangerous situation.
For this reason, Fu Huakun was eager to go to war, because Fu Xingzhou was his grandnephew.
The soul lanterns of the Shenmu Sect corresponded to the nameplates of the sect. The sect could sense the general situation and location of its disciples through this.
“Both of them have already fled from Lei Nation, but they did not come to Giant Tree Ridge. One entered the territory of Shake Mountain in Rock Country, and the other ran to Snow-blowing Palace in Frost Country.”
In the Shenmu Hall, Cang Qi of the Witchcraft division opened his eyes, put down the soul lanterns of the two in his hands, and asked with a pale face.
“It seems that Shake Mountain really wants to go to war.”
The always kind Meng Hong had a cold face at this time. In the hall, Chen Mobai had just arrived with Chu Zuoshu.
“You are about to reach the Core Formation. I will go this time.”
Chu Zuoshu took the initiative to speak up, showing great responsibility. Among the Shenmu Sect, besides the two elders, he and Meng Hong had the highest cultivation level. They would have the most confidence if they took action.
“It’s a pity that Elder Fu is not here, otherwise the two elders would join hands. Ji Zhenshi would not die, but he would have to lose a layer of skin”
The other Core Formation elder of the sect had been stationed at Yunmeng Ze Windy Rain Dock for the past ten years. Now only Zhou Shengqing could take action.
Ji Zhenshi was the Core Formation elder of Shake Mountain.
Although he was only in the middle stage of Core Formation, he was a body cultivator. His cultivation of the Void Law Body combined with Shake Mountain Fist made him almost invincible in the Eastern Wilderness.
When Zhou Shengqing was still in the Five Elements Sect, he had fought Ji Zhenshi three times. He could only trap Ji Zhenshi with the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation and could not kill him.
However, without the threat of the Core Formation, the two who were perfect in the Foundation Establishment, Chu Zuoshu and Meng Hong, were not afraid of anyone from Shake Mountain.
As the Sect Leader could not act lightly, and Meng Hong was preparing for Core Formation, Chu Zuoshu was the most suitable person to lead the team to this battle.
“Ji Dingjin might take action, you still have to be careful.”
Shake Mountain also had a Body Cultivator whose cultivation was perfect at the Foundation Establishment stage. He was the offspring of Ji Zhenshi’s family. Although he no longer has the chance to reach Core Formation, it was his very reason for being feared by others.
