Chapter 929 - 929 512 Zhou Shengqings Entrustment

Chapter 929: Chapter 512 Zhou Shengqing’s Entrustment Chapter 929: Chapter 512 Zhou Shengqing’s Entrustment After Chen Mobai returned to Giant Tree Ridge, he felt the constant pulsation of the Rank-4 Spirit Vein here, as if it were being devoured by an invisible black hole, ceaselessly flowing towards the Everlife Wood where Zhou Shengqing was in seclusion.

As the thick Spiritual Energy surged, there were occasional showers from the sky.

The rain was imbued with abundant Elemental Energy, and when it fell upon the Spirit Plants, the freshly sprouted buds gradually became tenderly green and lush with vibrant life.

This was a sign that Zhou Shengqing was absorbing the Water Essence, indicating that his Longevity Scripture had reached perfection in the eighteenth layer, and he was just one successful “Nascent Soul Formation” away from advancing to the nineteenth layer.

When Chen Mobai arrived, he felt an immense and infinite Spiritual Power enveloping the void near Zhou Shengqing’s place of seclusion; judging by the magnitude of this Spiritual Power, it was already on the level of Nascent Soul Formation.

“Brother Zhou.”

Chen Mobai stood in front of the central Everlife Wood at Giant Tree Ridge and saluted Zhou Shengqing, who was seated above.

“Junior Brother Chen, you indeed had a hard time in the great battle against the Nanxuan sect. If it weren’t for your timely Core Formation and return, I would probably have had no choice but to end my seclusion now.”

Zhou Shengqing was at the critical moment of “Nascent Soul Formation,” unable to move. However, as long as he had not started the process of “Broken Elixir to Infant,” there was still room for reconsideration.

However, among the cultivators of Eastern Wilderness, those who managed to get this far could be counted on one’s fingers. Even if they were to die in a failed nascent soul attempt, they would still grit their teeth and relentlessly take this step forward.

“Without the support of the sect, I could not have reached the Core Formation realm, let alone speak of any hardship.”

Chen Mobai had deep feelings for Divine Wood Sect and inquired about Zhou Shengqing’s nascent soul progress during their conversation.

“The Spiritual Energy is already brimming. With but a single thought, I can commence the shattering of my Gold Core to begin the Nascent Soul Formation. But taking that step means the hope of success is slim.”

“I was originally worried that if I failed in Nascent Soul Formation, relying solely on Junior Brother Fu, Divine Wood Sect would hardly be able to withstand the pressure. I even left a will, instructing him to return to the Five Elements Sect with Junior Brother Mo after my passing away in meditation.”

“But now that you’ve achieved Core Formation, even if I were to die, with the two of you, Divine Wood Sect can still stand its ground in Eastern Wilderness. I can finally let go of all distractions and wholeheartedly take this final step.”

As Zhou Shengqing spoke, his tone was filled with relief, and Chen Mobai, looking up at him, couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride.

After struggling for twenty-three years and under the shelter of Divine Wood Sect’s arduous cultivation, he finally became a pillar of the sect.

From now on, it was his turn to protect the sect.

Chen Mobai was a very responsible person. He believed his achievements were greatly attributed to Divine Wood Sect, and since he had benefited from the sect’s grace, he was obligated to repay it after succeeding in his cultivation.

“Rest assured, Brother Zhou, as long as I live, the legacy of Divine Wood Sect shall not end by my hand.”

Chen Mobai declared decisively.

“I understand your loyalty, Junior Brother. Keep this letter.”

Zhou Shengqing had watched step by step as Chen Mobai cultivated to his current realm. He never doubted the latter’s loyalty and even felt that though this junior brother was young, his conduct and reliability surpassed even that of Fu Zongjue.

“Brother Zhou, what is this…”

Chen Mobai received the letter that Zhou Shengqing flicked from his sleeve, looking puzzled.

A will?

“This is my letter of apology and repentance to Zhou Ye. If, in the future, the great armies of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace indeed come pressing down and you and Junior Brother Fu cannot resist, take the sect and this letter to seek shelter with the Five Elements Sect, and also bring my ashes back to rest beside the tomb of our master.”

This was the worst-case scenario: even with Chen Mobai’s Core Formation, facing Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace—a Nascent Soul Major Faction—Divine Wood Sect, in alliance with Golden Cliff, would not have a guaranteed victory.

Zhou Shengqing was determined to break his elixir and form his infant, which was the fiercest method of Nascent Soul Formation. Taking this step meant success or death; even if he stopped halfway, at best he would merely struggle to live a little longer.

This was Zhou Shengqing using his dignity and life to leave an escape route for Divine Wood Sect.

“Brother Zhou, with your profound abilities, you will definitely succeed in nascent soul formation.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt Zhou Shengqing’s heartfelt considerations and immediately spoke reassuringly.

“I have a Coagulation Infant Pill left by our master, two sets of Infant Formation Experience, and the Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture you obtained from the Longevity Sect. Compared with other Golden Core Cultivators in Eastern Wilderness, my hope of Nascent Soul Formation is already quite high.”

Zhou Shengqing revealed another secret.

A Coagulation Infant Pill!?

Chen Mobai had never heard of this elixir, but from the name alone, it was clearly a miraculous medicine to aid Nascent Soul Formation.

Zhou Shengqing, as the direct disciple of Ancestor Hunyuan, actually held such an item.

As Chen Mobai was pondering over the abundant resources of the Tianhe Realm, Zhou Shengqing had already laid out all his thoughts about the current situation.

“Regarding Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, Junior Brother Chen, you needn’t be too concerned. The Golden Wind Ancestor has not much lifespan left, and with each action he takes, he loses some years of his life.”

“If he really comes to Eastern Wilderness, we can use the Large Formation of Giant Tree Ridge to at least drain him of a decade or more of his lifespan, such an unprofitable deal. Even if he’s willing, the elders of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace won’t agree to it.”

“Nevertheless, since you’ve slain Nanxuan Jing, for their own prestige, Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace will certainly send another Golden Core Cultivator to pick a fight. When that time comes, they likely won’t employ the same simple and crude methods of warfare as they do now.”
