I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2263 - 1038: Six Years

Once he had settled his obligations within the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai publicly declared his transition into a period of closed-door cultivation.

For this specific retreat, he selected Red Sandstone City as his sanctuary.

Ever since the White Light Ancestor’s departure, the sixth-rank spiritual energy of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains had remained accessible. While Chen Mobai typically utilized that location for breaking through major cultivation realms, his decision to choose Danxia Mountain—which possessed only fourth-rank superior spiritual energy—left many observers bewildered.

Nevertheless, because of Chen Mobai’s prestigious standing, no one in the Immortal Gate would dare question his unconventional choices.

After all, the only stage above him now is Divinity Transformation.

The Dual Sages of the Immortal Gate currently possess a vague understanding of why Chen Mobai favored Danxia Mountain.

It is almost certainly for the sake of the Nirvana Great Dao!

Qian Xing had realized long ago, when Chen Mobai first selected the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun diagram, that a man of his immense talent and pride would likely pursue this specific Great Dao path.

Furthermore, the presence of the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree meant that even if he had to sacrifice his future potential by severing his path of return, he could still force a breakthrough into the Void Refining Realm.

To those within the Immortal Gate, Void Refining represents the ultimate peak.

Concepts like Harmonization are not even considered by those dwelling on the Earth Element Star.

Such were the private reflections of Qian Xing.

These thoughts aligned almost perfectly with Chen Mobai’s own calculations.

Regardless of the method, prioritizing the advancement of one's cultivation realm is never a mistake.

Even if refining the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree were to sever his path of return, he possessed the Dao Fruit Method from the Tianhe Realm, allowing him to extract and restart his path later if necessary.

If all else failed, he could always adopt Qian Xing’s suggestion: cutting down his own cultivation to undergo Soldier Resolution And Reincarnation.

Returning to the familiar surroundings of Danxia Mountain, Chen Mobai engaged the grand formation. He then activated the Turtle Treasure to initiate his transmission to the Tianhe Realm.

The river of time flowed on.

Six years passed in the blink of an eye.

Utilizing the assistance of his Second Nascent Soul, Chen Mobai managed to convert the entirety of his Pure Yang True Qi into the Innate state without any complications.

The conversion process required ten units of refined Pure Yang True Qi to produce a single portion of Innate Pure Yang Qi. Consequently, his Nascent Soul appeared far more translucent and ethereal than before, yet it radiated an aura that was significantly more weighted and profound.

The subsequent phase involved the continuous extraction of Innate Fire Origin from the Primordial Yang Treasure Beads. By repeating this cycle, he aimed to saturate his Nascent Soul with Innate Pure Yang Qi, eventually evolving it into a Soul Dharma Aspect.

Chen Mobai’s ability to navigate this stage so smoothly was a testament to his long-term accumulation.

Other cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in the Immortal Gate would typically require a century to complete this step. It was similar to the accumulation of True Qi required for a Gold Core to transform into a Nascent Soul, but the difficulty was tenfold.

The mere act of returning from the Acquired state to the Innate state is an insurmountable wall for many.

Not everyone enjoys Chen Mobai’s advantage of directly refining the Innate Pure Yang Qi bequeathed by the Yuan Yang Ancestor, which essentially provided him with a perfect blueprint to follow.

Once the secret of Innate transformation is mastered, the remaining task is the time-consuming gathering of True Essence.

A standard Nascent Soul cultivator must first absorb and refine spiritual energy into spiritual power, condense that power into True Qi, and finally transmute that True Qi into the Innate state. This process is incredibly tedious and demands a staggering volume of spiritual Qi.

This is precisely why the Immortal Gate maintains such rigid quotas on the number of Divinity Transformation practitioners.

The world simply lacks the spiritual energy to sustain more.

However, this limitation did not apply to Chen Mobai.

To condense his Innate Pure Yang Qi, he did not even need to rely on the spiritual Qi of the Tianhe Realm; he could draw directly from the Primordial Yang Treasure Beads.

This matriarch’s inner core had been tempered by planetary essence for eons, possessing an energy reserve equivalent to a cultivator at the peak of Divinity Transformation.

Even with both Chen Mobai’s true body and his Second Nascent Soul drawing from it, they had consumed less than one percent of its total energy.

Just as he prepared to make a final push to bring his Innate Pure Yang Qi to perfection using the Innate Fire Origin, a message arrived from Qing Nu.

“The timing is perfect to put this to the test,” he whispered.

As he spoke, a silver-gray radiance enveloped Chen Mobai. A silhouette suddenly detached from his back, manifesting into an exact replica of himself.

This was the Void Illusion.

Chen Mobai manipulated the illusion, sharing a brief look with his primary self. He laughed softly before utilizing Void Teleportation to exit his secluded cave dwelling.

In Wanhua Immortal City:

Qing Nu watched the Chen Mobai Illusion descend from the heavens, her expression filled with slight hesitation.

She sensed a subtle shift in the man before her, though her current cultivation level prevented her from pinpointing exactly what had changed.

“Have you achieved another breakthrough in your cultivation?” she inquired, assuming that was the cause.

“In a sense, yes. However, this is not my physical body; it is merely an illusion...”

Chen Mobai detailed the insights he had gained from the Universe Scripture and how his activation of the Void Spirit Body had propelled his mastery of Void Magic to new heights.

“I would expect nothing less from you!” Qing Nu said, her praise heartfelt yet tinged with the feeling that such genius was only natural for him.

“Back at the Immortal Gate, two practitioners of the Mysterious Sound Wonderful Method have reached the peak of Core Formation. One is currently utilizing the Infant-Accumulating Elixir for Nascent Soul Formation, while the other is attempting to manifest a Legal Body Nascent Soul. We should see the results within the year. Once successful, they will perform the Shocking God Sonata...”

In the company of his Daoist partner, Chen Mobai felt no need to boast. The pair retired to a pavilion to share tea, conversing about the various developments within the Immortal Gate and the Eastern Wilderness during his absence.

The most significant topic of discussion was, of course, the Shocking God Sonata.

“It is a shame I cannot return to the Immortal Gate to experience this legendary performance myself,” Qing Nu remarked, her voice tinged with regret.

“I will attempt to record the performance for you. Or perhaps, in the future, I can mentor a new talent of the Mysterious Sound Wonderful Method to reach the Nascent Soul stage. Once I have achieved Divinity Transformation, I will have them perform it specifically for you.”
