The Purpose of the Visit

Primordial Immortal City.

Zhou Ye took the invitation brought by Kong Shanxu and looked at it, and couldn't help but show a strange expression.

I've often heard my two senior brothers speak of the prosperity of the Immortal City. Now that I've just taken charge of the Divine Wood Sect, I'd like to come and see for myself...

The post was written by Chen Mobai, who said he would be visiting the Five Elements Sect early next year.

What does he mean by that?

Although the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect signed a non-aggression pact, Zhou Ye still vividly remembered the scene of the two sides fighting to the death when they separated.

Zhou Ye was quite bewildered that Chen Mobai, the most talented person in the history of the Divine Wood Sect Core Formation Sect Leader, was actually coming to visit the Five Elements Sect.

"Could it be that Zhou Shengqing has truly Nascent Formation and is preparing to reclaim this Immortal City, so he sent him here to test the waters first?"

Upon hearing this, Green Pearl frowned and said with great concern.

"Isn't it only natural that our second senior brother Nascent Formation and is in charge of the Primordial Immortal City and even the Five Elements Sect?"

Zhou Ye said something without changing his expression, then put down the invitation and signaled Kong Shanxu to go and prepare for the matter.

Since Chen Mobai is coming, they certainly won't refuse.

Whether it's well-intentioned or malicious, you'll only know once you've met them.

Moreover, even if a Nascent Soul cultivator were to arrive in this Primordial Immortal City, Zhou Ye was confident that he could retreat with ease.

"Besides our Five Elements Sect, it seems that Sect Master Chen of the Divine Wood Sect also intends to visit Returning Heaven Valley and Blowing Snow Palace."

After Kong Shanxu left, he mentioned something else.

After Zhou Shengqing killed five Core Formation cultivators, he, Ye Bogui, and Xue Ting returned to Giant Wood Ridge. Although they were unable to meet Sect Master Chen, the three exchanged a few words before leaving and discovered that they had all received the invitation.

"Is this preparation to rule this Eastern Wasteland?"

For some reason, Zhou Ye thought of this, and he stood up with a solemn expression.

He wasn't the only one who thought this way; Yan Shaoyin of Returning Heaven Valley and Kong Lingling of the Blowing Snow Palace shared the same sentiment.

"Well..."

Yan Shaoyin sighed. After hearing that Zhou Shengqing had killed five Core Formation cultivators, he felt both encouraged and frustrated.

He was encouraged because, apart from Zhou Shengqing, he was the closest Nascent Formation the Eastern Wasteland.

If Zhou Shengqing succeeds, then theoretically, he could also succeed.

But once he had this hope, Yan Shaoyin recalled his experience a hundred years ago when he was forced to submit to the Five Elements Sect's Alchemy under the oppression of the Primordial Ancestor.

The only saving grace is that the Divine Wood Sect did not hold Nascent Formation Grand Ceremony.

This means that Zhou Shengqing has most likely failed, or that he did not actually Nascent Formation, and that his plan was merely to lure Xuanxiao Dao Palace and those ghost cultivators into making a move.

In any case, the most important thing now is this visiting card.

The newly appointed Sect Master Chen of the Divine Wood Sect is coming to visit. Theoretically, the Sect Leader of Returning Heaven Valley should receive him, but this Sect Master Chen is Core Formation Cultivator.

Yan Shaoyin could only instruct Ye Bogui to make preparations so that he could personally receive Chen Mobai.

"Master, there is one more thing."

When Ye Bogui left, he hesitated before handing Yan Shaoyin a Message Talisman that the Starry Skies Great Merchant Association had just sent. The latter took it, glanced at it, his face turned slightly pale, and he sat down in a chair, letting out a long sigh.

The note stated that his disciple, He Jintong, had failed to Core Formation, but thanks to the pills prepared in advance by Yan Shaoyin, he was safe and sound. The Starry Skies Great Merchant Association would be transporting a batch of goods to Eastern Yi Region soon, and He Jintong would be brought along to Returning Heaven Valley.

In the past, Yan Shaoyin had ruined several batches of his refining process before finally managing to refine four Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill. Of these, the Divine Wood Sect took two, and soon after, news of Chen Mobai's Core Formation emerged.

Yan Shaoyin's eldest disciple He Jintong, had long been at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Upon hearing this, he was greatly encouraged and did not hesitate any longer. He took the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill and was arranged to go to the Starry Skies Dao Sect to secretly Core Formation.

Unfortunately, not everyone is Chen Mobai, and most of the cultivators in Returning Heaven Valley have ascended to their current level by consuming elixirs, resulting in unstable Xiantian foundations. Even with the extraordinary power of the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill Rejuvenation Pill, they are powerless against such cultivators.

"You make the arrangements, and then go to Eastern Yi to bring Jintong back..."

Upon hearing this news, Yan Shaoyin seemed to age ten years, sighing as he waved for Ye Bogui to leave.

Compared to the flourishing of the Divine Wood Sect, their Returning Heaven Valley, after splitting from the Five Elements Sect, made a fortune by monopolizing the high-end Alchemy industry in the Eastern Wasteland.

A truly outstanding disciple can even obtain two Foundation Establishment at once.

This resulted in the largest number of Foundation Establishment Cultivator among the Eastern Wasteland Great Sect, but not to mention top-tier cultivators like Chen Mobai, there wasn't even a single high-grade one like Hong He.

He Jintong already has the best foundation among those in Returning Heaven Valley.

Even he couldn't take the step of Core Formation.

Thinking about this made Yan Shaoyin feel exhausted.

I really want to abandon Returning Heaven Valley and pursue the Nascent Formation realm at all costs.

With his skills as Fourth Tier Alchemist, he would never lack Spirit Stone, no matter where he went.

However, this is just wishful thinking. Alchemy need influence the most, since there are many auxiliary materials for high-level pills, and it would be too time-consuming for one person to collect them all.

Blowing Snow Palace is still that ice palace.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xue Ting."

After hearing about Chen Mobai's upcoming visit, Kong Lingling spoke calmly.

After Xue Ting left, Kong Lingling, Zhu Jinyu Lan Lingping discussed it for a while, but faced with Zhou Shengqing's magnificent achievement of killing five Core Formation Cultivator by himself, they could not think of any reason to refuse.

"My cultivation has reached a critical moment, and at that time I may still need you to show Sect Master Chen around."

Kong Lingling said helplessly that her cultivation method was special, and when she broke through, she had to find a place with abundant spiritual energy to freeze her body so that she could not move.

"Master, don't worry. Xue Ting is also considered an unofficial disciple of Sect Master Chen. We can have her help with the reception on behalf of the sect. We should also be respectful. I don't think Sect Master Chen will blame us."

"This is the only way for now."

As Kong Lingling spoke, she remembered something weighing on her mind, and her mood became inexplicably irritable.

Chen Mobai was unaware that his visit had made the Core Formation Cultivator of the three major sects in the Eastern Wasteland nervous.

In fact, he had no interest in Returning Heaven Valley or Blowing Snow Palace.

I just want to go to the Ming Country, where the Five Elements Sect Primordial Immortal City is located, to investigate the Return to Origin Sect, where Luo Yixuan last disappeared.

However, going only to the Five Elements Sect would be too targeted and could very likely attract the attention of the other two Core Formation Cultivator from the Water Vein and Fire Vein.

Therefore, in order to conceal his true purpose, Chen Mobai also included Returning Heaven Valley and Blowing Snow Palace in his itinerary, treating it as an official visit after he took over the Divine Wood Sect.

The trip is scheduled for next year, partly to give the other three factions and the Divine Wood Sect time to prepare, and also because he needs to return to the Immortal Sect to handle some matters.

Under his guidance, the Inner Cabinet is now functioning very well.

Yue Zutao truly lived up to his reputation as a man of great talent. With Meng Hong assisting him, and Chen Mobai and others who had reached the Zhou Shengqing Core Formation stage, as well as Zhou Shengqing who was suspected of Nascent Formation Soul stage, all over the place, and the Six Kingdoms Guardians the area working hard, the Divine Wood Sect was thriving both inside and out.

Reassured, Chen Mobai left the Formless Puppet behind and returned to the Immortal Sect in his true form.
