I Have A Cultivation World - Chapter 2492 - 1114: A Broken Thread
Chapter 2492: Chapter 1114: A Broken Thread
After a round of drinks, Chen Mobai left early with Cheng Xuan to have tea.
“Zhongli Tianyu has formed his Nascent Soul; the Kunpeng Lineage is already working on making him the next Orthodox Law Hall Master.”
Cheng Xuan mentioned what Yunhai had told him. Although the current Orthodox Law Hall Master is Wenren Xuewei, everyone knows she was supported by Chen Mobai to take the position, so if Zhongli Tianyu wants to rise to the upper position, he’ll need the approval of the Weapon Dancing Sect.
“He’s one of us, and we should also give face to Brother Qi.”
Chen Mobai had lost all interest in secular power, and Qi Yuheng had already mentioned this to him, but the favor of Jumang Lineage can’t compare to that of a Deity Transformation True Monarch.
“We just won’t participate. The rest will be arranged by the Kunpeng Lineage.”
Cheng Xuan nodded gently at Chen Mobai’s words.
The Jumang Lineage doesn’t have a Deification; without support, they couldn’t maintain the Orthodox Law Hall Master position.
“Still, we should inform Wenren Xuewei. After all, she’s worked for me over these years, but it might be better for her to leave that position…”
It’s known that Wenren Xuewei was once on par with Chen Mobai in the Immortal Gate with the qualification of deification, but she was somewhat lazy, and her resources were inferior, so over the past century, her cultivation level has only reached the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Yet, compared to other Nascent Soul cultivators, her progress is already very swift.
Among the current Nascent Souls in the Immortal Gate, her probability of Deification Transformation is second only to Yuan Xu.
“Well, I’ll leave it to you.”
After Cheng Xuan finished discussing the matter, he got up and left. Deng Daoyun had formed his Nascent Soul, qualifying him to use some Rank-4 resources from the Daoist Academy and the Immortal Gate to enhance his Lifespan Artifact. As the first artifact refiner of the Immortal Gate who had undergone deification via “The Union of Differences,” Cheng Xuan needed to guide him well.
Chen Mobai noticed the night had fallen and remembered that Meng Huang had also attended today’s celebration, so he teleported to her mountaintop villa.
However, Meng Huang had not yet returned. As an outstanding graduate of the Dance Tool Dao Academy and being the Dao Seed of the Mystic Sound Method, she was seen by many as having the potential for Nascent Soul Formation, making her a focal point.
“With two True Monarchs in place, the Dao Academy won’t lack Foundation Establishment Resources for Nascent Soul Formation. After Director Deng, it should be Junior Sister Bian and Junior Sister Meng…”
In the banquet hall, the female cultivators at the table, including the relatively young Bian Jingchun and Meng Huang, were frequently toasted and complimented.
“Oh no, I’m still far off…”
Meng Huang opened modestly. Just as she was about to raise her glass, she suddenly sensed something, her divine sense shifting to see the message appearing on her phone’s vibrating screen in her handbag.
“Sorry, I just remembered there’s something I need to handle for the department. To all the Senior Sisters…”
Meng Huang’s exquisite face bore an apologetic look as she downed her glass in one go, then hurriedly excused herself.
The crowd looked puzzled, as the Arts Department, where Meng Huang worked, was known to be the most leisurely department in the Immortal Gate when there were no major performances. Moreover, her attendance at the Dance Tool Dao Academy’s celebration was well-known to everyone in Red City Cave Heaven, so no one should be foolish enough to bother her at this time.
Nevertheless, the crowd soon focused their attention on Bian Jingchun. Compared to her, Meng Huang seemed more like a supporting act.
Bian Jingchun was a true genius, now at the Golden Core Ninth Layer, and the words spoken by Chen Mobai at the memorial and earlier at the table had already spread widely.
With the favor of a Deity Transformation True Monarch, Foundation Establishment Resources for Nascent Soul Formation aren’t a concern.
Moreover, compared to the other Three Great sects, the Dance Tool Dao Academy had the added advantage of receiving Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy from Chen Mobai, increasing the success rate of Nascent Soul Formation by ten percent.
“Junior Sister Bian, when it’s time for your Nascent Soul Formation celebration, don’t forget us older sisters…”
A quite mature female cultivator smiled and toasted Bian Jingchun, who then eased her curiosity about Meng Huang’s sudden departure and began to socialize.
…
At the mountaintop villa.
The indoor temperature was several degrees higher than outside because it was already winter. The windows even had a few traces of frost and dew on them. Seeing through them, the scene was somewhat hazy but gave Chen Mobai a sense of warmth mixed with cold, creating a unique atmosphere.
After an unknown amount of time, he exhaled deeply and patted Meng Huang, who was lying on him. She immediately collapsed, panting and weak.
“So tired…”
Meng Huang pouted and said. Her cultivation level was still somewhat low, but because she cultivated the Longevity Dao Body, she was most able to endure.
Plus, she let herself go, making Chen Mobai feel the most relaxed and enjoyable when with her.
“You’ve worked hard. Rest for a bit; I’ll take this call.”
Chen Mobai comforted her tenderly, one arm around her, playing with her soft and smooth spots, which, although not as ample as Yan Bingxuan’s, still had waves. The other hand dialed the answer button.
The call was from Wenren Xuewei. Before Meng Huang had returned, Chen Mobai had already informed her about the Orthodox Law Hall Master position.
Wenren Xuewei herself was willing to step down and let someone else take the position, but the Jumang Lineage evidently had different thoughts.
Since Pei Qingshuang was also a Nascent Soul cultivator and, with her efforts over the years, her influence in the Orthodox Law Hall rivaled Zhongli Tianyu’s, she naturally wanted to compete.
Chen Mobai, of course, didn’t care about this, indicating that the two lineages could compete freely. Out of respect for her, the Weapon Dancing Sect would maintain neutrality.
Compared to Pei Qingshuang, Zhongli Tianyu was at least a graduate of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. The promise of neutrality was something Wenren Xuewei was already very satisfied with.
Originally, Chen Mobai thought the matter was settled, and he could relax and enjoy a beautiful time with Meng Huang, but he didn’t expect Wenren Xuewei to still call.
“Peach Blossom Sage wants to talk to you, saying there’s something only you can know.”
Chen Mobai was surprised upon hearing this.
Peach Blossom Sage?
Is there a mistake? He is now a True Monarch of Divinity Transformation, yet a mere Nascent Soul cultivator dares to play mysterious.
“I’m busy now!”
After saying this, Chen Mobai directly hung up the call.
Meng Huang also sensibly leaned down.
Before long, the rhythm of breathing indoors began to change again.
…
In the morning, Chen Mobai, feeling refreshed, arrived at the principal’s office, turned on his phone which had been turned off the night before, and several messages and missed calls popped up.
He first called Hua Zijing.
“True Monarch, I have already spoken to Minister Zhongli, and conveyed your intentions to him…”
Wang Xin Fu failed in his Nascent Soul Formation and is currently in seclusion for recovery, so for the time being, Hua Zijing is overseeing personnel from the Three Great Halls of the Dance Instruments Sect.
Most members of the Dance Instruments Sect are accepting of Zhongli Tianyu taking on the role of Orthodox Law Hall Master.
Compared to Wenren Xuewei, at least he is a graduate of their lineage.
“Once Minister Zhongli gets promoted, the position of the Enforcement Department Director will be vacant. Lin Yin from the Patching Heaven Group has enough qualifications and capabilities, and she is also your old subordinate, so I plan to appoint her.”
Hua Zijing spoke about a series of personnel arrangements, which Chen Mobai had no objections to. Since a few years ago, when Chen Xiaohei took over the Forestry Administration’s director position, there’s been nothing worth bothering him at Immortal Gate.
“Just arrange it as you see fit. I trust you.”
After listening, Chen Mobai said this.
“True Monarch, one more thing, the release process for Yu Tianguang True Person has been completed, from now on he will no longer be imprisoned.”
Finally, Hua Zijing gave Chen Mobai some good news.
Yu Tianguang unintentionally practiced the Devour God Technique, and was planted with the God Seed by the Shenqi True Monarch. According to Immortal Gate’s rules, he was to be imprisoned for life.
However, Cheng Xuan once operated for him, teaching the twofold Divine Technique. As long as Yu Tianguang could remove the God Seed and pass the certification of the relevant departments of Immortal Gate, he could be released.
Yet the impact of the forbidden technique was deeper than imagined, and not until recently could Yu Tianguang barely remove the influence of the God Seed.
Once the most difficult part passed, the processes were naturally expedited given the power of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.
“Very well, I’ll go pick him up personally.”
Thinking of the kindness Yu Tianguang showed him in the past, Chen Mobai immediately stood up.
The place of imprisonment was arranged personally by him back then. With his current cultivation level, he didn’t even need the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation to help locate, just a shift in divine sense, and he instantly teleported there.
The local Department of Law Enforcement was responsible for the imprisonment. Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s arrival, heads of various departments in the Grotto Heaven city rushed over en masse.
However, before they arrived, Chen Mobai had already left with Yu Tianguang.
“I never thought I’d still have a day to fly freely.”
In the sky, Chen Mobai and Yu Tianguang were flying slowly. The latter controlled a patch of red cloud, looked at the vast blue sky and boundless earth, and couldn’t help but shed tears of joy.
Chen Mobai vaguely remembered when Yu Tianguang was in his prime in Danxia Pavilion, full of spirit and vigor. But now, after more than a hundred years of imprisonment, he had gray hair and a weathered face.
“Alas, if it weren’t for this disaster, with your talent, you might have also achieved Nascent Soul Formation.”
Chen Mobai sighed. Qin Beichen, who graduated in the same batch and turned to cultivate Scorching Heaven Cultivation, had already reached the ninth level of the Gold Core, with twenty-seven streams of True Qi condensed.
With the next Immortal Gate refining of the Infant Forming Spirit Medicine, Chen Mobai planned to release Qin Beichen early too.
In contrast, over the past hundred years, Yu Tianguang’s Dantian Qi Sea was sealed and he couldn’t cultivate, only because he had to practice the Twofold Divine Technique did his divine sense breakthrough to the Perfect Core Formation level.
But due to splitting nearly half of his divine sense, the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion was somewhat empty and shriveled, with signs of realm degradation.
“Being able to breathe the free air is already very satisfying for me. Pure Yang, thank you!”
Yu Tianguang gratefully said to Chen Mobai, aware that he could only come out because of the man in front of him.
“Do you have any plans for the future?”
Chen Mobai, flying with Yu Tianguang towards the Daoist Academy, asked.
