I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 2206: Chapter 1020: Dustless True Monarch Takes Action (Part 2)

Mu De had no choice but to recall his Flying Sword, forming a Sword Array to block the ghostly finger.

One of the ghostly fingers fell upon Jin De’s head, enveloping him and dragging him towards the Mingfu Zhi Men in the sky.

“Bold devil cultivator, how dare you act rampant on Mount Wudi.”

Seeing this, Earth Virtue immediately activated the Primordial Dao Fruit, manifesting his Yi Yuan Dao Body to clash with the massive ghost hand hovering above.

As two vast and majestic forces spread out, Earth Virtue’s Yi Yuan Dao Body stood firm at the peak of Mount Wudi, unmoving, while the Mingfu Zhi Men slightly blurred and faded.

However, Earth Virtue’s expression was not pleasant.

Because this move already borrowed the power of the Large Formation, reaching the strongest Great Realm of the usual state for the Yi Yuan Dao Body.

Further advancement would require depleting the Lifebound Essence to activate the Primordial Clock for enhancement.

“The descendants of Yi Yuan, weaker with each generation.”

A sinister voice sounded from behind the Mingfu Zhi Men, as if intending to step through and fully descend onto Mount Wudi.

Clang, clang, clang!

At this moment, the Primordial Clock began to chime automatically, and Earth Virtue felt an increasing bond with the Spirit Vein of Mount Wudi. The Large Formation he could previously only control a small part of was now gradually reflecting entirely in his heart and mind.

With the added support of the Primordial Clock, Earth Virtue’s manipulation of the Primordial Dao Fruit became more precise, and insights into previously incomprehensible Profound Mysteries surged into his mind.

The Yi Yuan Dao Body behind Earth Virtue began to grow more solid and radiant, significantly enhancing his strength.

[If I had known it would be like this, I should have forced Jin De to defect a hundred years ago.]

This was the first thought that floated in Earth Virtue’s mind because the external threat made the Primordial Clock, previously indifferent to him, suddenly change its attitude.

Clearly, it now regarded him as the only person capable of saving the situation under the current circumstances.

“Bold devil cultivator, you dare to act recklessly on my Mount Wudi; today, I shall show you the might of the Primordial Dao Fruit.”

With the deep support of the Primordial Clock, Earth Virtue was now full of confidence, even hoping to use the demon invasion as an opportunity to gain further control over the Primordial Dao Fruit and the Primordial Clock.

As he spoke, the Yi Yuan Dao Body behind him shot skyward, flying into the Mingfu Zhi Men.

Chen Mobai witnessed this scene, paused, and did not speak.

Amidst the violent fluctuations of nature’s spiritual energy, storms raged over Mount Wudi, thunder roared, but amidst it all, threads of pitch-black light began to stain and shroud the heavens and earth.

With the eruption of an intense and extreme array of multicolored lights, the peak of Mount Wudi was suddenly engulfed by the Mingfu Zhi Men.

Earth Virtue’s eyes widened, watching in disbelief as his Yi Yuan Dao Body was struck down from the sky.

He had indeed lost.

“The Mingfu Zhi Men is the absolute skill of the Tongyou Demon Sect. At its highest realm, it not only enables Void Shifting but also simulates the power of the Wheel of Reincarnation to open the passage to the Yin World Underworld; entering it forfeits the advantage of terrain.”

Chen Mobai spoke to Earth Virtue, having been informed of the secrets of the Tongyou Demon Sect by Su Ziluo after her defection.

The Wheel of Reincarnation was especially crucial.

After all, Chen Mobai still possessed an Evil Spirit Disk snatched from the incarnation of Ming Zun.

“I see…”

Earth Virtue, upon hearing this, had a look of sudden realization.

In fact, he was also aware of this, but he wanted to put himself in danger, hoping to further pressure the Primordial Clock, and perhaps take the opportunity to fully control this Sixth Rank Treasure.

However, as it turned out, the divine skill of the Mingfu Zhi Men was indeed formidable; once his Yi Yuan Dao Body entered it, the augmentation of the Primordial Clock weakened significantly.

The best way to resolve this was naturally to throw the Primordial Clock into it.

But clearly, the Primordial Clock was unwilling.

On Mount Wudi, the Primordial Clock, as the core Spiritual Pivot, dominated everything, but if it left, its power would be greatly diminished.

As a Sixth Rank Artifact, its spirituality was no less than that of a human’s.

After brief contemplation, the Primordial Clock made the most prudent choice.

Seeing his calculations fail, Earth Virtue couldn’t help but feel relieved that he had beforehand sought the help of the two Great Holy Lands.

Otherwise, even if he managed to repel the existence behind the Mingfu Zhi Men today, he might also deplete a large amount of Lifebound Essence.

“Thank you, Ming Zun, for your intervention. Though I have been exposed, the Mountain Protection Array of Mount Wudi has been opened; from now on, you can freely descend and enter.”

Behind the Mingfu Zhi Men, Jin De saluted to the young-looking Ming Zun, coughing up blood continually, but with pain and a fierce expression flickering on his face.

“I beseech Ming Zun to employ the Great Method to annihilate Mount Wudi and restore the majesty of our Demon Path.”

The young Ming Zun frowned slightly, looking towards the head of the statue of the Yi Yuan True Monarch.

“Your senses remain as sharp as ever…”

A gentle voice echoed, and a plain-clothed Daoist appeared at the left cheek of the Yi Yuan True Monarch’s statue, foot atop a round elixir.

As the plain-clothed Daoist appeared, a water curtain was lifted beside Chen Mobai and others, revealing the figures of Shenxi and Ni Yuanzhong.

“Today, the task of clearing demonic obstacles from your palace, even if it weakens for centuries, will one day revitalize the holy name.”

Shenxi spoke first.

Both Wood Virtue and Earth Virtue clearly recognized him, seeing him and Ni Yuanzhong appear, and upon thinking about the slightly peculiar conversation between Earth Virtue and Chen Mobai today, they understood the true purpose of today’s events.

“So it was to expose Jin De’s true face; I wrongly blamed Senior Brother.”

Water Virtue was the first to speak, apologizing to Earth Virtue, to which the latter waved his hand in a magnanimous manner.

“All is for the Dao Palace; a temporary misunderstanding is nothing.”

“Indeed, the inheritance of the Yi Yuan Ancestor cannot tolerate any blemish. Upon learning of this, even from afar in the Eastern Wilderness, my concern was immense…” Chen Mobai chimed in, expressing his identity as part of the Yi Yuan Orthodoxy.

Wood Virtue knitted his brows, wanting to say something.

But at that moment, Dustless True Monarch had already transformed into a thread of blue smoke, stepping on the elixir underfoot and entering the Mingfu Zhi Men.

“You certainly have the guts!”

Seeing Dustless True Monarch enter, the young Ming Zun’s brows furrowed with anger, for he was essentially of Divinity Transformation nature; in the Netherworld, empowered by the Mingfu Zhi Men’s divine skill, he was akin to a Ghost God.

“Tu Ming, you slightly underestimate me.”

Dustless True Monarch smiled faintly, then produced a purple-gold Pill Furnace. Upon opening it, a surge of purple-gold Flames erupted, enveloping the young Ming Zun in an instant.

Ming Zun’s body erupted in pitch-black demon light and Huangquan Yin Qi, beginning to swell as if about to transform into a Fierce Ghost.

But Dustless True Monarch unleashed an Elixir, like a heavy lead pellet, which landed on Ming Zun’s chest.

With a cracking sound, the young Ming Zun’s chest collapsed suddenly, black blood gushed from his seven orifices.

This seemed to dissolve all his resistance, as the purple-gold Flames engulfed him completely, then whisked him into the Pill Furnace.

“I’ll return to the sect first, I’ll leave matters here to you all.”

After easily suppressing the young Ming Zun, Dustless True Monarch addressed the direction where Shenxi was.

“Yes, Martial Ancestor.”

Shenxi swirled the horsetail whisk in his hand, bowing to Dustless True Monarch.

“Farewell to Dustless True Monarch!”

Nearby, Ni Yuanzhong, Earth Virtue, and others immediately followed in saluting, and Chen Mobai blended into the crowd, shouting.

“Earth Virtue Junior Brother, even though the demon infiltrator was from your sect, for the sake of gathering more intelligence on Ming Zun, I need to take him away.”

After Dustless True Monarch departed, Shenxi turned to Earth Virtue and spoke.

High in the air, with the young Ming Zun captured, Jin De’s figure reappeared.

With so many experts of the Righteous Path’s Divine Senses locking onto him, he had no chance of escape.

Hearing this, Earth Virtue hesitated for a moment. Although he had already shifted the blame onto Jin De, if the latter were to die, his own slate would be completely clean.

However, faced with Shenxi, the Sect Master of Dao and Virtue, he could only nod: “That is as it should be.”
