I Have A Cultivation World - Chapter 2474: 1102: Reunion After a Long Separation
Capítulo 2474: Chapter 1102: Reunion After a Long Separation
“Dad, does this mean I can walk sideways in the Immortal Gate in the future!”
At Wangwu Cave Heaven, enjoying a cup of tea with his daughter, Chen Mobai almost couldn’t help but roll his eyes when he heard Chen Xiaohei’s statement.
[From the moment you were born, you could walk sideways in the Immortal Gate!]
But Chen Mobai couldn’t say that. He knew his daughter’s temperament. If she found out her mother was even more impressive than him, the first Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Immortal Gate, her pride might soar beyond the heavens.
As a cultivator, one should remain humble to reach higher realms, just like him.
If he could keep his Divinity Transformation hidden, Chen Mobai would have preferred she not know.
Fortunately, in the Immortal Gate now, the number of Divinity Transformation cultivators is large, and he’s just one of them. While Chen Xiaohei knows her father is amazing, she likely doesn’t know he’s the type who could single-handedly suppress all other Divinity Transformation cultivators in the gate.
With this, while she might feel proud of having a Divinity Transformation father, she would still hold a reverence for other Divinity Transformation cultivators outside.
“Daughter, as cultivators, our own achievements are what deserve boasting.”
“When you’re out, working and socializing, remember not to reveal you’re my daughter, because if you do, the people around you will come to you for my status and power as a Deity Transformation True Monarch.”
“You wouldn’t want people with ulterior motives to surround you in the future.”
Chen Mobai advised his daughter earnestly. He didn’t have much experience in this, so he recalled the teachings of his parents from childhood.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaohei thought Chen Mobai was such a good father. She patted her chest and said, “Don’t worry, Dad, I’ve never said at work that I’m your daughter.”
On the side, Hua Zijing, who came over to report work to the old leader, almost choked on the tea when hearing this.
On Chen Xiaohei’s first day of work, everyone at the Forestry Administration already knew about her origins. She wouldn’t have had it so easy otherwise.
It’s not just the Forestry Administration; within the Three Great Halls, anyone with some background had been warned by their leaders to be kind if they encountered the young lady during work exchanges with the Forestry Department.
“Zijing, is everything okay across the Immortal Gate lately?”
Chen Mobai poured tea for Hua Zijing, whose cup was empty, and the latter immediately accepted it respectfully with both hands.
“Reporting to True Monarch, the Three Great Halls have faced more frequent personnel changes these years, but overall our sect is on a steady upward trend. What you might be concerned with is that Director Shen of the Forestry Administration will reach retirement age after this year…”
Hua Zijing knew Chen Mobai was not one to handle affairs regularly; during his tenure as the Orthodox Law Hall Master, he never cared for such matters, so he only mentioned one thing.
“Hmm.”
Chen Mobai nodded, without expressing any opinion on the matter.
But Hua Zijing knew what actions to take.
“Before I came, Hall Master Gongye of Xianwu Hall, Vice Hall Master Lan, and Hall Master Ye of Kaiyuan Hall expressed their desire to visit you, to see when you have time for them to meet together.”
Hua Zijing mentioned another matter.
Though Chen Mobai had long been the third sage of the Immortal Gate, his official Divinity Transformation required a visit from the Three Great Halls to pay full respects.
“Let them mind their duties; there’s no need for such ceremonies.”
Chen Mobai shook his head, having no desire for worldly power at this level, and having transformed, wanted to detach from such affairs, avoiding involvement with the Three Great Halls as much as possible.
“Understood, True Monarch.”
Hua Zijing nodded and finally spoke about the distribution of the latest batch of Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine; Chen Mobai reviewed it, finding two familiar names from his classmates in the Metaphysical Class.
The conditions once equivalent have diverged; his achievement as Divinity Transformation is unparalleled.
Next, Ming Yuhua has already reached Gold Core Eighth Layer, working tirelessly to condense the Acquired Pure Yang Body. It’s anticipated that post-war will try Nascent Soul Formation.
Others like Yunyang Bing, Wang Xingyu, Gong Ranran, and Jin Shuwei are all Golden Core Cultivators, already considered core members of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.
This time, those on the list are Lan Yufan and Lu Zixuan.
Back during Daoist Academy days, the two had on-and-off relationships due to emotional problems, and with years spent cultivating, Chen Mobai didn’t keep much contact.
However, knowing them, he’s bound to lend them a helping hand.
Chen Mobai pointed to these two names for Hua Zijing, and the latter instantly understood.
For the next few days, Chen Mobai stayed at Wangwu Cave Heaven with his daughter. When Chen Xiaohei went to work, he practiced the Immortal Skill of Patching Heaven.
Enhanced by the Law of the Five Tones, the technique, known for its difficulty, was easily grasped by him.
However, Chen Mobai is cautious, planning to perform it after mastering it completely.
A period is just needed to handle some personal matters.
The news of Chen Mobai’s Divinity Transformation quickly spread because the Dance Tool Dao Academy issued an official announcement.
Upon seeing the news, Yan Bingxuan and Meng Huang immediately congratulated him, understanding that a breakthrough in realm required time for consolidation, so they merely sent him text messages.
Chen Mobai felt deeply ashamed. Unlike Cheng Xuan and others, his foundation was solid, coupled with the Pure Yang Great Dao, making his achievement undeniable.
However, after his retreat, he was overwhelmed with tasks: attending a Divinity Transformation meeting, arranging work for Yuan Xu and Wenren Xuewei, and then meeting the Great Chun Divine Tree. After dealing with official matters, he met his long-separated daughter, and inadvertently it was only after all this did he find time.
He pondered the last time he met with Yan Bingxuan, and it seemed like ages ago.
Although Bai Guang’s threats still lingered in his mind, Chen Mobai felt that with his Divinity Transformation and the backing of Purple Cloud Palace, destined for Cultivating Void, there was no need to be afraid anymore.
So, after organizing his thoughts, he directly called Yan Bingxuan.
In no time, Chen Mobai eagerly teleported to Rongcheng Cave Heaven, where the Nature Studies Academy was located.
In the familiar room, the long-separated couple, upon meeting, immediately melted into each other, their feelings intertwining.
Outside the window, the sun had set without them realizing, and the two intertwined in the bedroom finally paused from their intimate embrace.
“I missed you so much!”
Known for her cold elegance, Yan Bingxuan revealed an unprecedented coyness in Chen Mobai’s arms, her eyes, melting like spring water, brimming with affection.
Chen Mobai never expected Yan Bingxuan to be so charming, clearly showing how much she had suffered from longing over the years.
“Me too…”
Chen Mobai naturally responded, intending to share his hardships and express that the future of the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands relied on his breakthrough, but Yan Bingxuan had already sealed his lips with a kiss.
How could a Deity Transformation True Monarch like Chen Mobai endure such grievance? Surely, he took action right then and there.
…
In Rongcheng Cave Heaven, Chen Mobai enjoyed the most leisurely time since his Divinity Transformation.
Yan Bingxuan also used up several years’ worth of accumulated leave all at once.
The current head of the Nature Studies Academy was Yan Qiongzhi, who was initially puzzled, knowing Yan Bingxuan was remarkably diligent, and this was only her second long leave.
But quickly, she recalled the situation during the first leave, understanding immediately what was happening.
Pretending not to know, Yan Qiongzhi promptly signed the leave slip, even extending the leave within her authority.
Returning home with the leave slip, Yan Bingxuan didn’t step outside.
Chen Mobai and she spent their days deeply connected, inseparable.
Yet, joyful times are always fleeting, and as a leader of the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai couldn’t indulge endlessly in personal affairs.
“Cheng Xuan senior has something to discuss with me; it shouldn’t be trivial.”
After taking a call from Qi Yuheng, Chen Mobai said apologetically to Yan Bingxuan, who showed reluctance but understood her man was the Sky-Pillaring White Jade Column of the Immortal Gate.
“Mm, I am always available here; just let me know beforehand if you want to come over.”
Yan Bingxuan’s words touched Chen Mobai greatly.
In his haste to leave, they only shared a moment of intimacy as farewell.
Back at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai awaited Cheng Xuan in his office, reminiscing about the exhilarating sensations of recent times.
Indeed, the excitement of a long-awaited reunion provided unprecedented joy, even to someone with Fifth-Rank Physique like a Deity Transformation True Monarch.
As for Yan Bingxuan, every day was filled with bliss.
The joy of perfect harmony and unity made them feel deeply connected in mind and emotion.
“Pure Yang…”
As Chen Mobai closed his eyes, trying to recollect more thoroughly, Cheng Xuan’s voice reached his ear.
“Greetings, Senior Brother.”
Chen Mobai immediately stood up, moving to sit by the tea table at the window. Entering with Zhuang Jialan, Cheng Xuan also sat down with a smile.
“Principal, True Monarch, I’m in the office next door, call me if you need anything.”
Zhuang Jialan stood consciously at the door, leaving after seeing the two Deity Transformation True Monarchs of the Dance Tool Dao Academy settled, closing the door behind her.
“I have refined some Dao Fruits and found the foundational Artifact Refining knowledge within each to be common. Unless aiming to advance to a Sixth Rank Artifact Refiner, refining one or multiple Dao Fruits yields the same results. Currently, the best approach for the Immortal Gate is to use these Dao Fruits to elevate Rank-4 Artifact Refiners to Rank-5. This way, when I lead them to upgrade the Four Symbols Dao Palace and create various War Artifacts, we will have sufficient manpower.”
Convinced by Chen Mobai, Cheng Xuan decided to take out all the remaining Dao Fruits atop the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree to enhance the overall level of Artifact Refiners in the Immortal Gate.
