Chapter 457: Chapter 326: Guidance_1
A stream of silver spiritual light descended from the sky, landing at the foot of Xiao Nanshan. It was Yu Lian.
Out of respect, he didn’t fly directly to the peak.
Chen Mobai immediately signaled to Luo Yixuan standing beside him to bring Yu up.
The aura around Yu Lian was no longer as deep as before, now it resembled a sharp sword, its chill shimmering freely after being freshly sharpened.
However, this was because he had just successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage and couldn’t fully control his drastically increased spiritual power.
“Greetings, Uncle Master Chen.”
Upon arrival, Yu Lian bowed towards Chen Mobai.
“According to the sect rules, in the future we should address each other as brothers.”
Although Chen Mobai felt awkward about the Tianhe Realm’s custom of ranking based on cultivation level, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Therefore, he changed addressing Yu Lian to junior brother. The latter hesitated for a moment, then immediately addressed him as senior brother.
“I have already established my foundation, what spiritual object should I retrieve for Senior Brother from the Divine Tree Secret Realm?”
“Take this talisman, when you reach the Magic Treasure Tree, use it. Then you will obtain a fruit, bring this fruit back for me and I will pay you a hefty amount of spiritual stones.”
Chen Mobai didn’t beat about the bush. During their previous venture into the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Zhou Wangshen had already made transactions with people such as Yan Jinye and Yuan Chiye beforehand, so he just followed their example. Even if it was known by the Sect Leader and the two elders, they wouldn’t mind.
“I owe my successful foundation establishment to Senior Brother Chen’s guidance. I will bring you the fruit and I do not need extra spirit stones.”
Yu Lian, being a man clear about gratitude and grudges, accepted the Wood Spiritual Talisman and decisively made a promise.
“The Divine Tree Secret Realm is a benefit granted by the sect to each newly established Foundation Disciple. Each of the fruits it bears are rare treasures. If you do not accept the spirit stone, I would feel indebted.”
Chen Mobai hasn’t fully adjusted his perspective to align with the Tianhe Realm, for the cultivators here, the most precious entities are cultivation techniques and knowledge.
His guidance brought Yu Lian to successful foundation establishment—an enormous favor.
This type of chance encounter could not be measured with spirit stones. In Yu Lian’s heart, the importance of Chen Mobai was quickly surpassing his official master Shan Hongyi.
“I cultivate the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture and also follow the Sword Cultivation path. Senior Brother Chen is the number one sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, could you possibly provide me with some guidance on Sword Dao.”
Yu Lian refused to accept spirit stones, yet respectably lowered his head and asked Chen Mobai for guidance in Sword Dao.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan lifted her head and looked at the seemingly aloof Yu Lian, feeling that she had underestimated him before. Unexpectedly, just like her, he dared to put his pride aside at a crucial moment.
Ever since Mu Hanxiong was killed at Rolling Thunder Mountain, the title of the top sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect had been attributed to Chen Mobai.
However, at that time, there were still differences among the sect’s disciples as Xie Yuntian, a well-established sword cultivator, was still around, many believed that the sword training department head at the late Foundation Establishment stage was a tad stronger.
But during Chen Mobai’s ongoing seclusion for the consolidation of sword demons, news started gradually trickling in about his evenly-matched duel with Ji Dingjin at the location of the Rock Country Spirit Stone Mine, where many cultivators from both Yanxiao and Rock Country nations had been present as witnesses. Although Mountain Shaker Peak wanted to suppress the news, they couldn’t suppress the voices of those loose cultivators who were caught in the crossfire.
When this news spread, the title of the top sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect became undisputed.
Therefore, the current goal of all disciples who were practicing sword techniques and sword secrets within the Divine Wood Sect was to be accepted into Xiao Nanshan’s tutelage and receive guidance from Chen Mobai.
Although Yu Lian had established his foundation, he was extremely self-aware. His aptitude in Sword Dao was decent, but when compared to the prodigious Sword Cultivation genius standing before him, he felt utterly average.
At the very least, Yu Lian was only at the second stage of Sword Dao at the moment.
Whereas Chen Mobai, during the Qi Cultivation stage, was already at the third stage of Sword Dao.
Currently, in the early Foundation Establishment stage, he had already practiced and manifested his sword light, making him unparalleled within his realm.
Additionally, according to Spirit Treasure Pavilion, he had exchanged his Green Wood Evil, seeming to be climbing towards the fifth stage of Sword Dao: the condensation of Sword Demons!
If the Sword Demons were to solidify, probably no Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the entire Eastern Wilderness would dare show their face before him.
Because regardless of who it is, even if it were Ji Dingjin who possessed a forged body, they would be defeated in a single sword strike against the Sword Demons, unless a rank-3 defensive magic weapon was used.
Yu Lian, with the status of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, asking for guidance from Chen Mobai, who was on the same Cultivation Realm as him, was extremely rare in the Eastern Wilderness.
Thereby, Luo Yixuan’s opinion of him significantly improved. This person was not as arrogant as he seemed, and his scheming mind was no less than her own.
“If that’s the case, show me the Sword Scripture you cultivated, I’ll see if I can give you some guidance.”
With his Immortal Sect’s mindset, Chen Mobai believed that knowledge was meant to be shared, imparting knowledge was a precious achievement. Therefore, when Yu Lian asked for guidance, after some thought, he agreed.
Of course, unbeknownst to others, he had once again activated the Computational Puppet’s simulation feature, using Yu Lian’s data template to simulate the cultivation of the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture.
Soon, when Yu Lian held a wooden sword, and performed the entirety of his Sword Training to become Gang and Sword Gang Transforming Qi, Chen Mobai had already simulated the subsequent aura of the Silver Sky Sword Rainbow.
