Chapter 1985: Chapter 962: Top Divinity Transformation Experts of This World (Part 3)
As for the True Lord Tianling of the Central State Holy Land’s Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, after forcefully breaking through the Ninth Level of the Tian Gang recently, hoping to rely on the Kui Beast True Spirit Dharma Aspect for ascendance, he returned dejected after enduring three Heavenly Tribulations.
Every time Ye Qing spoke of these tales, Chen Mobai’s eyelid twitched.
In his mind, the Central State was already becoming a dragon’s lair and a tiger’s den.
He thought it best to stay in the East Continent and develop slowly, and perhaps visit the Central State after reaching Divinity Transformation to broaden his horizons.
"This True Lord Tianling, compared to your honored teacher, who is stronger?"
Chen Mobai had heard a bit about the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, after all, Ye Qing had once come to the Eastern Wilderness to slay a Devil Cultivator from the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering, and both the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering and Eastern Land Beast Taming Sect had founders originated from the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect.
Although the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect does not recognize the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering, they do recognize the Beast Taming Sect.
Chen Mobai hadn’t forgotten that the Poisonous Dragon Demon Beast he had slain was the handiwork of the Beast Taming Sect, and he wondered if this might pose a karmic consequence in the future.
"The fifteen top-tier cultivators of this realm are known as the Five Demons, Four True Monarchs, Three Immortals, Two Swords, One Palace."
"Aside from the One Palace which refers to the Sky Sea Jellyfish Palace, the rest are all at the peak of Divinity Transformation."
"True Lord Tianling, True Monarch Yuancheng of the North Zhou Star Celestial Temple, Pure Wind True Monarch of the West Continent’s Pure Palace, and my master, Profound Heaven True Monarch, collectively referred to as the Four True Monarchs!"
Upon hearing what Ye Qing had said, Chen Mobai completely gave up on the idea of expansion.
Based on this description, it’s equivalent to having fifteen Yu Baiguangs in this realm, which was terrifying.
"I wonder who the Five Demons, Three Immortals, and Two Swords refer to?"
Chen Mobai had already offered a price for the Three Lights Divine Water before, and although he’d receive a portion after partnering with Xing Ji for alchemy, it’s a strategic resource that can never be too plentiful. The current Five Elements Sect can protect this now. With nothing much to do, he casually chatted with Ye Qing at the side, while gathering information on the top-tier combat power in the Tianhe Realm.
"The Five Demons refer to the leaders of the Demon Path in the Five Continents, previously, here in the East Continent, it was the Ghost God of the Qu Shen Demon Sect, but after Ming Zun emerged, it became him..."
After giving his price, with nothing left to do, as they chatted, Zhang Pankong approached upon seeing them.
In terms of knowledge on the Five Continents and Four Seas, Taixu Miaomiao Palace’s Taoist Child Zhang Pankong surpassed Ye Qing, who then mainly supplemented the information thereafter.
"These fifteen top-tier cultivators are the pinnacle of our human race’s Divinity Transformation. Among the demon tribe, there are also the ’Nine True Spirits’, and those not belonging to any major forces, the ’Six Wonders of the World’. Plus, powerful ancient beasts from the depths of the barren ruins and depths of the Four Seas, surviving since the ancient times..."
Zhang Pankong eloquently elaborated, at this time, many Nascent Soul cultivators who had come to the grand hall for the Three Lights Divine Water turned their gaze.
After all, whether Ye Qing or Zhang Pankong, they were Saint Land Taoist Children, having refined the Dao Fruit of their future spirit transformation, surely the highest heavens of the future Lands of Eastern Continent.
Standing among them was Chen Mobai, who naturally caught many a sidelong glance.
Some unfamiliar with him inquired, and soon they realized with a look of dawning understanding.
So it turned out to be Taoist Child Yi Yuan, Emperor Chen Qing, no wonder.
In the crowd, Old Ancestor Bai Wu mingled among them, and it was he along with the Star Heaven Dao Sect members within the grand hall who propagated Chen Mobai’s identity.
Although the goal was achieved, seeing Chen Mobai standing alongside Ye Qing and Zhang Pankong, with a demeanor and cultivation level completely matched, he was not at ease at heart.
He cultivated for over four hundred years, possessing resources like the Rank-5 Sun God Tree, only reaching the Nascent Soul Middle Stage peak.
And Chen Mobai had only formed his Nascent Soul for a few years, yet he was already on par with him.
This made Old Ancestor Bai Wu feel very uncomfortable.
If time could be reversed, he certainly wouldn’t care about appearances, taking advantage of his seniority to destroy the Divine Wood Sect in the Eastern Wilderness.
And just at this moment, a graceful figure approached the trio of Chen Mobai, Ye Qing, and Zhang Pankong. They nodded in acknowledgment.
For someone whom Saint Land Taoist Children would greet, naturally, her status was equivalent.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Qi!"
Chen Mobai also greeted Qi Jiannu, who very courteously returned the gesture.
"What are the three of you discussing? Mind if I join in?"
"Oh, nothing much, we were discussing the top-tier Divinity Transformation beings of this realm, wondering when we three will be counted among them."
Zhang Pankong casually remarked, and as Star Fire and Xingxuan who just joined them overheard this, they immediately felt a sense of inferiority.
Star Fire and Xingxuan were locals, chosen representatives of the Star Heaven Dao Sect to compete with the Four Great Holy Lands.
It’s a pity that even they dare not dream of reaching the Spirit Transformation Stage ordinarily.
Since ancient times, the Star Heaven Dao Sect had never produced a God-Transcending cultivator.
They couldn’t see their path to Spirit Transformation at all.
Yet these before them were already discussing their potential future places among the elite in Spirit Transformation.
Realizing this, Star Fire and Xingxuan’s steps froze in place.
"Have the two of you compiled all the bids?"
Seeing Star Fire and Xingxuan approach, Qi Jiannu asked.
"We’ve already reported to the Great Elder, and presumably, soon those awarded will be notified."
The slightly more mature Star Fire spoke, then stood with Xingxuan next to the four of Chen Mobai, forcing their presence into the limelight.
"When will the trade fair start?"
Zhang Pankong knew it was what Chen Mobai cared about, so he asked.
