I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2285 - 1044:
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Chen Mobai spoke these words with genuine sincerity.
Regardless of anything else, Meng Huang had been his first woman.
Throughout the years, her compliance and perceptive nature had provided him with his most tranquil and enjoyable interludes amidst long, tedious periods of cultivation.
Whenever an opportunity to assist her arose, Chen Mobai truly wished to provide as much support as he could.
Consequently, witnessing her lack of focus during the daytime rehearsals of the Shocking God Sonata had caused him significant distress.
"Surely you don't wish to end up looking as aged and withered as Xiao Yuping after a few hundred years?"
Chen Mobai used the most vivid local example; despite having attained the Nascent Soul stage, that former great beauty was still unable to reclaim her youth.
"I possess the Appearance-fixing Pearl you gifted me; I shall not grow old," Meng Huang replied softly.
Chen Mobai’s expression froze momentarily; he had indeed overlooked that fact.
"You still have the nerve to argue!"
Filled with a touch of irritation, Chen Mobai once more pinned Meng Huang down to deliver another lecture.
...
Following his rigorous "education," Meng Huang finally devoted herself entirely during the final rehearsal.
This left Chen Mobai feeling quite content.
The day for the formal performance of the Shocking God Sonata arrived shortly thereafter.
High above Ambition Immortal Peak, Qi Yuheng made his entrance first, clad in mystic robes with sharp eyebrows and luminous eyes.
By simply standing there, he radiated a formidable aura that appeared to dominate the very firmament.
The Narcissus stood beside him, her hair and brows as white as snow and her skin resembling polished jade.
She stood with bare feet upon a celestial river, where several humanoid Sea Territory monarchs manifested, even bowing respectfully toward Gathering-Immortals Peak and Wangxian Peak.
However, Qian Xing remained absent from Gathering-Immortals Peak.
Yuan Xu and Ying Guanghua stood side-by-side, flanked by Gongye Zhixu, Nangong Xuanyu, Elder Qingping, and Elder Meihua!
Six Nascent Soul cultivators from a single lineage stood together, putting the immense foundation of the Patching Heaven Lineage on full display.
Finally, there was Wangxian Peak, where Chen Mobai was situated.
He stood firmly at the center, controlling the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, flanked by Nascent Soul cultivators like Cheng Xuan from the Dance Instruments Sect on his left and those of the Jumang Lineage, such as Tao Hua, on his right.
Once the audience had settled, Ye Yune, who presided over the Shocking God Sonata at the Welcoming Immortals Hotel, signaled the members of the Arts Department with a nod.
"Yuping, you may begin."
Ye Yune and Xiao Yuping had been close friends in their youth. This time, Xiao Yuping’s opportunity to pursue a Legal Body Nascent Soul was largely due to the maneuvering of the Kunpeng Lineage.
Regardless, for practitioners of the Mystic Sound Method who possessed two Perfect Core Formation masters, a chance at Nascent Soul Formation was always on the horizon.
An Guanglei, a member of the Patching Heaven Lineage, had personally selected the Infant-Accumulating Elixir, hoping to test his fortune.
Ultimately, he had met with failure.
Because of this, An Guanglei blamed Qian Xing for not aiding him with divinations; he felt that given the significance of the Shocking God Sonata, the Nascent Soul elders of the Patching Heaven Lineage should have petitioned Qian Xing to assist him with Guidance Book calculations.
Unbeknownst to him, after trading for the Infant-Accumulating Elixir, he had waited until the very last moment without receiving any word from Gathering-Immortals Peak.
In the end, he was forced to consume the elixir and attempt a stubborn breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.
Even though he failed, An Guanglei felt there was still a glimmer of hope.
That hope lay within the Shocking God Sonata.
Thus, during the rehearsal, he was intensely concentrated, his vocal performance nearly equaling the excellence of Xiao Yuping.
Acting on Ye Yune’s signal, Xiao Yuping looked up at the cultivators who resembled celestial deities atop the Three Great Immortal Peaks. Stifling her inner fervor, she took the initiative and began to sing.
Though she was old, her vocal mastery was flawless; she shifted effortlessly between high-pitched passion and gentle melodies. Following a powerful, heavenly note, the Mystic Sound Method cultivators behind her were drawn in instinctively, playing their various instruments in perfect harmony.
As the music commenced, Chen Mobai and the others sensed a profound mystery that had been absent during rehearsals.
There seemed to be a living soul within the melody.
Melancholy felt like the falling of autumn leaves—sad, yet not agonizing; joy felt like the warmth of the spring sun—radiant, but not blinding. Chen Mobai felt his heartstrings being tugged by the sound, pulling him into the realms described by the music.
These realms were the Dao itself!
At that moment, the lead dancer Meng Huang stepped onto the stage. Her voice, as clear and delicate as a phoenix’s cry, pierced through to Chen Mobai’s most vulnerable emotions.
He thought back to their recent moments together.
After the lectures and discipline, they had shared an intimate embrace. In the final moments before the sun rose, they had stopped thinking of carnal matters and instead spoke like close friends, discussing everything from their first meeting to the present day.
Through Chen Mobai’s guidance, Meng Huang had realized her truest internal ambition.
She desired to reach the Nascent Soul stage and assist him in achieving Divinity Transformation through the power of the Shocking God Sonata.
With this mindset, all other sounds faded from Chen Mobai’s ears, leaving only the song of Meng Huang.
Her singing contained her life’s realizations and her aspirations for what was to come.
Suddenly, Chen Mobai felt a spiritual resonance with her, his gaze fixed solely upon her form.
Meng Huang stood at the center of the stage in a breathtaking gown, looking as radiant as a goddess emerging from an ancient painting. Her sleeves moved with grace, every step light as a breeze, her skirt fluttering like ripples on a pond—she was enchantingly beautiful.
Chen Mobai watched her every subtle motion, reminiscing about her many charms.
Under these conditions, within the Sea of Knowledge in his Purple Mansion, the phoenix phantom created by his Divine Sense began to sing, starting to coalesce with the image of Meng Huang in his mind.
Atop the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, Chen Mobai suddenly sat in a cross-legged position, his entire form radiating a holy, multicolored light.
The sight caused everyone present to look on in disbelief.
He had achieved comprehension so quickly!?
Even Qi Yuheng and the Narcissus were taken aback.
It was worth noting that even they had only just managed to grasp a faint thread of their respective Dao with the assistance of the Shocking God Sonata.
"Pure Yang truly lives up to his reputation as the greatest genius in the history of the Immortal Gate!" Qi Yuheng couldn't help but praise him aloud.
"You all should observe and learn, rather than staying in the Sea Territory and forgetting the world outside," the Narcissus remarked to the Sea Territory monarchs standing near her.
