Chapter 1980: Chapter 961_2
After Ye Qing finished speaking, Chen Mobai’s expression was suddenly enlightened.
So that’s what it was all about.
"So that means, the highest level in this world is the Perfection of Spirit Transmutation, with no Cultivating Void capabilities left."
Chen Mobai asked again. In this case, if he really offended some Holy Land in the future, he could also pull people like Qian Xing from the Immortal Gate without being so cautious.
"In theory, that’s the case."
However, Ye Qing said this, which made Chen Mobai shiver with fear.
"The Great Holy Lands in the Central State, and superpowers like the Sky Sea Jellyfish Palace, are all capable of communicating with the Upper Realm. The Great Dao rules of this world were modified by the ancestors of these factions, so there might be some hidden means."
Fine, it’s better to continue being steady.
After hearing this, Chen Mobai decided to continue maintaining his original intentions.
"Then, does your esteemed sect have any heritage beyond the Spirit Transformation Stage?"
Eventually, Chen Mobai couldn’t resist his curiosity and asked.
In response, Ye Qing just smiled without speaking further.
Chen Mobai tactfully did not continue asking.
At this time, Qing Nu also informed Yuan Zhen of the method and taboos of taking the Infant-Feeding Elixir, and Chen Mobai then proceeded to take his leave.
"Sect Master Chen, the war between the righteous and demonic paths is about to begin, and Yi Yuan Dao Palace will also step in. How do you plan to respond then?"
As he was leaving, Ye Qing asked a question.
"You know that I’m a fake, so how can I participate in the war with any real identity?"
"What if Yi Yuan Dao Palace acknowledges you?"
This question from Ye Qing caused Chen Mobai to hesitate.
If someone else had said this, he wouldn’t believe it. But coming from Ye Qing, there might actually be a chance for him to make Yi Yuan Dao Palace yield and recognize him as a fake Saint Heir.
He certainly didn’t want to get involved in this muddled situation. Given his strength, with no opponent among the Nascent Souls, he would be extremely prominent on the battlefield. If he inadvertently killed all the Demon Cultivator Nascent Souls, it would surely attract Ming Zun’s attention, who harbors great resentment against Yi Yuan Dao Palace.
Chen Mobai had a great deal of reverence for the Spirit Transformation level, knowing he couldn’t possibly prevail.
So he needed to come up with an excuse to keep Yi Yuan Dao Palace at bay!
"If they were willing to let me refine the Dao Fruit, I might consider helping them to restore Yi Yuan Dao Palace’s prestige!"
Eventually, Chen Mobai didn’t believe that Yi Yuan Dao Palace would let an outsider like him refine the Dao Fruit left by Yi Yuan Daoist Monarch.
"With my master and the Dustless True Monarch guarding the Eastern Land Border, the Demons surely cannot break through, but I’m concerned they might detour from the sea. If the Demon Path and the Royal Court of the Demon Tribe join forces, East Wu and East Barbarians would be the first to bear the brunt. My master suggests that if such a situation indeed arises and the Great Holy Lands are unable to take care of it all, the Star Heaven Dao Sect would guard the Mysterious Sea, while your sect would assist East Wu."
East Wu borders the Desolate Sea, and East Barbarians border the Mysterious Sea!
The Mysterious Sea has the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, whose strength is even greater than a Holy Land.
And the Desolate Sea doesn’t have a Demon Tribe Royal Court, but there are also many powerful demons, though, overall, they’re definitely not as strong as the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court.
Chen Mobai definitely couldn’t refuse this arrangement from the Holy Land. After all, he still needed to operate in the East Continent.
"Leave it to me!"
With this in mind, Chen Mobai began to understand why Xing Ji wanted him to seize Golden Crow Immortal City.
If the Five Elements Sect took over the Sun Bathing Sea territory, they’d have to face the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court head-on, giving the Star Heaven Dao Sect an excuse not to intervene.
After all, on the Eastern Land Border battlefield, although facing the Demon Path army, as long as a Holy Land is at the top, Star Heaven Dao Sect just needed to be cautious. With eight Nascent Souls on their side, the Demon Path wouldn’t dare challenge them recklessly.
But coming to the East Barbarians changes everything.
Directly facing the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, if a Flood Dragon of Spirit Transformation stage intervenes, even with the protection of a Fifth Rank Great Formation, life and death would be out of their control.
Xing Ji, you sly old man!
After realizing this, Chen Mobai’s slight positive feelings towards Xing Ji were suddenly gone.
But since they were still doing business together, he’d remember this misdeed for now.
Back at the courtyard of the Five Elements Sect, Chen Mobai called Mo Douguang and Zhou Ye over.
He recounted the information he’d just acquired in the room, and Mo Douguang, not having many complex thoughts, just said he’d follow the sect leader’s arrangement.
"Senior Brother Zhou, what do you think?"
Chen Mobai knew Zhou Ye was a capable person, more than able to handle things independently. The sect had initially planned for Zhou Ye, once he completed his Nascent Soul Formation, to oversee their territory on the East Barbarians side.
"This matter needs early planning. If the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court indeed plans to land on East Barbarians, our sect’s strength is insufficient, so we must prepare to destroy the Teleportation Array and retreat to the Eastern Wilderness."
Zhou Ye had no hesitation, speaking of giving up territory to save people.
"If we don’t resist and just retreat, after the righteous-demon war ends, it will be hard for me to explain to the Holy Land. So, if a war does break out on the East Barbarians side, as neighbors, we need to support the Sun Bathing Sea. If we truly can’t hold it, then let the disciples from Bright Mirror Mountain retreat."
"When the war begins, immediately pack up all sect resources on the East Barbarians side and transfer them to the Eastern Wilderness. Golden Crow Immortal City has a Fifth Rank Great Formation. Even against a Spirit Transformation stage, we can buy some time."
"If the Star Heaven Dao Sect takes over Golden Crow Immortal City then, Senior Brother Zhou, lead the sect cultivators from East Barbarians to support them. If it’s the Sun Bathing Sea scenario, just hire a group of Loose Cultivators to make an effort."
