I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 2204: Chapter 1019: Ascending Mount Wudi (Part 2)

“Senior Brother Earth Virtue, why aren’t you taking action.”

Upon hearing the words of Gold Virtue, Earth Virtue smiled slightly and began to speak about Chen Mobai’s reason for coming to Mount Wudi today.

“After a conversation with Junior Brother Chen, I realized it was all a misunderstanding. We are all inheritors left by the Ancestor of Yi Yuan, and we are brother sects…”

Hearing that Earth Virtue had reached such a humiliating agreement with Chen Mobai, Gold Virtue was furious. Even Water Virtue and Wood Virtue, standing beside him, showed dissatisfaction.

“Senior Brother Earth Virtue, I do not agree with this matter.”

“Neither do I!”

After Water Virtue and Wood Virtue finished speaking, Gold Virtue directly summoned his lifebound flying sword, aiming it at Chen Mobai.

“Today, we will slay this traitor here, and we will still honor you as the Great Elder of the Dao Palace, our senior brother.”

With a cold expression, Gold Virtue aimed his flying sword at Chen Mobai and spoke to Earth Virtue.

“Who allowed a demon thief from a different sect to point a sword at me.”

Chen Mobai furrowed his brow, speaking with displeasure.

Then, as Gold Virtue coldly sneered, the gigantic left arm of the Thousand Swords Dharma Body emerged within Yi Yuan Hall.

The left hand of the Thousand Swords Dharma Body stretched out, falling toward Gold Virtue. As the terrifying Purple Brilliance Sword Intent gathered, the entire main hall began to tremble.

Having come to the East Land this time, Chen Mobai naturally brought all his strongest techniques.

The refining Purple Electric Sword was no exception.

However, even in this attack, Chen Mobai did not utilize the true form of the Purple Electric Sword, merely using the sword intent captured by the Thousand Swords Dharma Body.

But even so, it was already a Rank-5 method.

“Yi Yuan Dao Body!”

Upon seeing this scene, the three of Gold Virtue were shocked. Gold Virtue radiated a dazzling golden glow, channeling it into his side’s golden flying sword, and a surge of golden sword qi erupted, attempting to clash with the Purple Brilliance Sword Intent gathered at the fingertips of the Thousand Swords Dharma Body.

However, at the moment of contact, the golden surge shattered, and Gold Virtue, spewing blood, was suppressed by the sword intent and fell to the ground.

With a whoosh, the golden flying sword, at the moment it touched the fingertips of the Thousand Swords Dharma Body, flew backwards, embedding itself in the floor before Gold Virtue, trembling and wailing continuously.

Water Virtue and Wood Virtue saw strands of purple current flowing along the golden flying sword. If the sword weren’t refined with Rank-5 materials, it might have shattered instantly.

“Drawing a sword against me demonstrates a true lack of self-awareness.”

As Chen Mobai said this, he continued admiring the mural, with his back to the three of Gold Virtue.

“Earth Virtue, what exactly are you trying to do?”

“The Dao Palace’s thousand-year orthodoxy is to be destroyed in our generation?”

After seeing the Yi Yuan Dao Body, Water Virtue and Wood Virtue knew they were no match for Chen Mobai, but they directed their accusations at Earth Virtue.

“My two Junior Brothers, join me in taking action. Earth Virtue has betrayed the sect and is colluding with outsiders to annihilate us…”

Gold Virtue, suppressed by Chen Mobai’s sword intent, wanted to say more, but Earth Virtue waved his sleeve lightly, sealing Gold Virtue’s mouth with Primordial True Qi.

“It seems my two junior brothers are unaware of the situation. Alas, the sect is unfortunate. Originally, I intended to handle this matter quietly. Actually, Junior Brother Gold Virtue is an undercover for the Demon Path…”

As Earth Virtue finished speaking, Gold Virtue’s eyes widened, struggling violently as if trying to argue.

However, under the suppression of Chen Mobai and Earth Virtue, he was utterly powerless.

“What evidence do you have to prove it?”

Wood Virtue asked a very calm question.

“The previous generation’s Taoist Child and Saintess are the evidence. Nephew-disciple Su had previously approached three Outer Sect Elders with this matter. However, since Lian Shui and others held great trust in Mount Wudi, they did not report it.”

“Also, in this generation, Chen Lingming’s Nascent Soul Formation failed due to Gold Virtue’s murderous intent. During the battle between the righteous and demonic, it was Gold Virtue who leaked their route to the Demon Path, leading to the ambush and death of Junior Brother Fire Virtue and others.”

“Considering that the Yi Yuan Dao Palace was attacked by Ming Zun previously, one can deduce that Gold Virtue is indeed an undercover for the Tongyou Demon Sect. The deaths of the Palace Master and Senior Brother Wu Ming were also due to his betrayal.”

“After learning these events, Junior Brother Chen believed that the internal Yi Yuan Dao lineage was marred by evidence of the Demon Path, deemed unworthy of holding the Yi Yuan orthodoxy, and thus acted impulsively. After speaking with him, I realized that both of us are striving for the betterment of the Yi Yuan lineage, merely having slightly different stances.”

After Earth Virtue finished speaking, he looked angrily at Gold Virtue.

“Traitor, do you have anything to say?”

Gold Virtue widened his eyes, mouth agape, yet was unable to say anything.

Upon seeing this, Earth Virtue remembered that he had restrained Gold Virtue. He immediately waved his sleeve, withdrawing the Primordial True Qi.

“A heap of nonsense. Earth Virtue, you concocted an excuse to frame me as a scapegoat, labeling me a Demon Path traitor after selling out the sect yourself. You mongrel of deceit, you monopolized the Primordial Dao Fruit and were the one who made two generations’ Taoist Child and Saintess disappear, and you blame me…”

Gold Virtue immediately started cursing. Upon hearing this, Earth Virtue’s face, which harbored anger, instead calmed.

“We need more direct and concrete evidence.”

The usually silent Water Virtue Sect Leader spoke up, clearly indicating that relying solely on the words of Earth Virtue and Gold Virtue is insufficient to convince them.

“It’s simple. I can swear that I have no collusion with the Demon Path. Gold Virtue, dare you?”

After Earth Virtue spoke, Gold Virtue was stunned, his mouth unopened. Though seemingly wanting to argue, he seemed lost for words.

“Brother Gold Virtue…”

Seeing Gold Virtue like this, Water Virtue and Wood Virtue exchanged a look, their brows furrowing deeply.

“Swearing affects my future Cultivating Void, but I have a clear conscience.”

In the end, Gold Virtue only uttered this line.

Water Virtue and Wood Virtue showed looks of disappointment.

Meanwhile, Earth Virtue raised his right hand without hesitation, stepped outside the main hall, and swore upon the statue of Yi Yuan True Monarch: “Before the Ancestor, I swear, as a disciple…”

After Earth Virtue finished his oath, Water Virtue and Wood Virtue, wearing skeptical expressions, looked at Gold Virtue.

“When did you know?”

But Gold Virtue, wearing a cold expression and a sullen gaze, looked at Earth Virtue and asked.

“It truly was you!”

Upon hearing this, Water Virtue and Wood Virtue showed expressions of disbelief.

“When the previous Taoist Child was killed and the Saintess disappeared, I began suspecting a Demon Path mole on Mount Wudi. During the righteous versus demon war, I refined the Primordial Dao Fruit, capable of grasping everything on Mount Wudi through the Large Formation. With focused observation, I saw you passing intel on our sect’s army to the outside…”

After Earth Virtue finished speaking, Gold Virtue seemed to recall something, showing a regretful expression.

“Why?”

Wood Virtue looked at Gold Virtue, frowning in confusion.

“Junior Brother Wood Virtue, with our aptitude, perhaps in another Holy Land, we could become Taoist Child and Saintess, but on Mount Wudi, we can only be so-called Sect Leaders and guardians. Are you content with that?”

Gold Virtue asked.

Wood Virtue and Water Virtue, upon hearing this, fell silent.

This issue has always existed within the Yi Yuan Dao Palace.

From the outside, they seem like prestigious elders of a Holy Land, yet within the Dao Palace, they are merely part of the Primordial Dao Fruit’s cultivation process.

Only the Primordial Dao Fruit, in Yi Yuan True Monarch’s Daoist skills, can allow Divinity Transformation and Cultivating Void.

Though Yi Yuan True Monarch had deduced before his Ascendance that the Five Elements could all perform the Primordial transformation, tradition has held for thousands of years.

Even without Taoist Child and Saintess, the Earth Vein always takes precedence.

The reason they were willing to acknowledge Earth Virtue was because he promised that after refining the Dao Fruit for Divinity Transformation, he would relinquish it for them to comprehend in turn.

Even though they knew it was a slim hope, at least it was hope.

“I am not content!”

Gold Virtue said grimly, then immediately bit the tip of his tongue, spraying a gush of essence blood.
