I Have A Cultivation World - Chapter 1921: 943: Human Puppet
Chapter 1921: Chapter 943: Human Puppet
When Chen Mobai saw Che Yucheng, the latter was sitting by the window of his dormitory room, his face full of wrinkles, breathing faintly. Across from him sat Hong Mengkui, who seemed much more spirited.
As a Golden Core Cultivator, Che Yucheng’s aged appearance indicated that he could no longer control his essence, spirit, and vitality, walking toward death.
“You’ve come!”
When he saw Chen Mobai entering together with Master Chengxuan, Che Yucheng’s eyes slightly brightened, and he displayed a very pleased smile.
“Then I’ll take my leave first and come back tomorrow to keep you company.”
Seeing Chen Mobai, Hong Mengkui also stood up to bid farewell and left with Master Chengxuan, leaving teacher and student alone.
“Teacher…”
Chen Mobai’s voice trembled slightly, but Che Yucheng smiled and motioned for him to sit down.
“I still have a decent foundation, probably have a little over half a year left.”
As he spoke, Che Yucheng pointed to the teapot on the table, indicating for Chen Mobai to pour himself some tea.
“Teacher, Master Yuan Xu has already completed the Asura Dharma Aspect. I’ll go and plead with the two ancestors to grant you a slot.”
Chen Mobai recalled what Ancestor Qian Xing once mentioned—that because of the insufficient Spiritual Energy of the Immortal Gate, Yuan Xu’s research was sealed after completion.
“No need. Today you have secured the Asura Dharma Aspect for me, and by tomorrow, Ying Guanghua will use this as a pretext to have two more Nascent Souls for the Patching Heaven Lineage. The Kunpeng Lineage’s Nan Dou will certainly demand as well. Even if you become a Divinity Transformation ancestor, you cannot break the rules for your own, as breaking the rules will disorder the thousands of years of Immortal Gate’s order…”
Che Yucheng initially refused but halfway through, he started rambling as if educating.
Chen Mobai furrowed his brows, wanting to retort, but Che Yucheng said something that made his eyes widen.
“Moreover, if I form a Nascent Soul, I would have to face the two ancestors, and I wouldn’t be able to pass their scrutiny.”
“Teacher, what do you mean by this?”
Che Yucheng smiled slightly and then lifted his right hand. It was unknown which switch he activated, but the skin on his right hand parted, revealing blood vessels and veins that were alien to humans, and the blood that should have flowed out became a deep blue liquid instead.
Seeing this scene, Chen Mobai was first slightly stunned. Then, as if realizing something, he was shocked: “Human Puppet!”
“Xin Ji said that his lair in Yu Wood City was taken down by you, so I knew you must know about this.”
As he was close to death, Che Yucheng also opened up, revealing secrets hidden in his heart for many years.
“Teacher, you researched Forbidden Techniques!”
Chen Mobai looked at the elderly figure before him with disbelief. In his mind, Che Yucheng was highly respected, someone who would absolutely never engage in such activities.
“Not only did I research, but I also tried experimenting practically. According to the Immortal Gate’s standards, I’ve also practiced a Forbidden Technique and should be imprisoned for it.”
While speaking, Che Yucheng took a thick bundle of books from his Domain and placed it on the table.
“I’ve never asked you for anything in my life. Before I die, I want to ask you for one thing, and I don’t know if you can agree.”
Hearing Che Yucheng’s words, Chen Mobai frowned deeply. The two locked eyes for a long time, and then he took a deep breath and shook his head, refusing.
“Teacher, I will not do anything that violates the rules of the Immortal Gate!”
Although Chen Mobai wanted to rely on himself for Divinity Transformation, in case of failure, refining the Fruit of Dao’s Rule wasn’t inconceivable, and thus, he absolutely couldn’t commit a grave mistake.
“Rest assured, on the Immortal Gate’s side, I’ve only experimented with the Human Puppet technique on myself.”
Hearing these words from Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai relaxed a bit. Earlier, he had already been considering whether to take action.
“In that case, Teacher, you can go in peace. I will help cover up your affairs.”
For the years of teacher-student relationship, Chen Mobai still didn’t want Che Yucheng to lose reputation posthumously. As long as he confirmed Che Yucheng hadn’t experimented on others, he was willing to conceal it for him.
“This is the Human Puppet data Xin Ji and I researched together. With your talent, after reading, you’ll easily understand it completely…”
“Teacher, after your death, I will burn these things for you, to protect your name!”
Before Che Yucheng could finish his words, Chen Mobai interrupted bluntly.
In the Immortal Gate, as a disciple, this was all he could do.
“Not even for the many years of teacher-student relationship?”
Che Yucheng pleaded somewhat, and Chen Mobai thought of how he had been able to establish himself in the Immortal Gate and become the head of the Weapon Dancing Sect largely thanks to the old man before him, causing his heart to soften slightly.
“Tell me first, let me listen.”
“I’ve already refined myself into a Human Puppet. After my death, follow the recorded methods and activate me to help verify whether this path works.”
As he spoke, Che Yucheng handed the bundle of books on the table to Chen Mobai.
“Forgive me, but I cannot.”
Chen Mobai didn’t accept it and directly shook his head in refusal.
“Then how about you take my body off the Earth Element Star and give it to Yan Xin Ji?”
Che Yucheng posed another request, and Chen Mobai remained silent, saying nothing.
“Do you want to hear my story?” Che Yucheng suddenly asked this question.
“Please go ahead!” Chen Mobai nodded.
“Xin Ji and I were best friends, together researching puppets, and we developed the Formless Puppet, the pinnacle of Immortal Gate’s techniques. But no matter how we improved, we couldn’t break through the shackles to produce a Rank-4 puppet with ordinary materials, as it’s almost impossible for common materials to withstand and manifest Rank-4 spell power.”
