I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2300 - 1047: Aftermath (8.5K)_4
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Essentially, this was a sentence of life imprisonment.
"Locate a spacious courtyard and house them together. We shall instruct them in the Twofold Divine Technique to determine if they can purge these Demonic Thoughts and sever those specific memories..."
Chen Mobai proposed his plan, and Qi Yuheng nodded in approval.
Fortunately, Meng Huang’s luck held out, and he was not among the afflicted.
Nevertheless, the performance of the Shocking God Sonata had severely depleted the vital energy of all cultivators of the Mystic Sound Method. Their very origins were damaged, a fate that even Xiao Yuping could not escape despite her Dharma Body Nascent Soul status.
"The Shocking God Sonata remained incomplete, so the drain on my origin was slightly less than I feared..."
After being summoned, Xiao Yuping shared her observations. Since the previous performer of the Shocking God Sonata, True Monarch Dinghai, had ultimately achieved Ascension and became an Immortal, Qi Yuheng believed she might possess a similar destiny. Consequently, he urged her to focus on recovery and provided a wealth of healing treasures.
On the other hand, Chen Mobai remained skeptical.
In his view, a Dharma Body Nascent Soul had reached its limit; even the profound effects of the Shocking God Sonata could not push such a practitioner further.
Once the immediate matters were settled, the seals surrounding the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains remained firmly in place.
Due to the presence of the sealed Death God, Qi Yuheng designated the region a forbidden zone. He suggested that the God-Transcending families who had been evacuated during the Shocking God Sonata performance should not return to their former homes.
Moving forward, only Nascent Souls and God-Transcending cultivators of the Immortal Gate would be granted entry.
As for those who had succumbed to madness during the musical ritual.
This place would become their permanent residence.
Chen Mobai concurred with this arrangement.
After all, the permanence of the Death God’s seal was far from certain.
There were those who proposed casting the seal into the depths of the Universe or utilizing portals for a randomized teleportation.
However, the knowledge that Lin Daoming had achieved Divinity and was lurking like a predator beyond the Earth Element Star made it impossible to move the seal without him noticing.
Furthermore, using portals for transport was simply not an option.
Both the Star-Drawing Sword and the Heavenly Calculation Bead are sixth rank artifacts, as is the sealed Death God himself. Transporting such a powerful entity via portal exceeded the capabilities of Qi Yuheng, even as a God-Transcending cultivator.
Chen Mobai briefly contemplated moving the seal to the Tianhe Realm.
If the seal were broken there, the sixth rank entity would likely undergo immediate Ascension.
But that would mean the Death God falling into the grasp of the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm.
Those Upper Realm powers might interrogate the entity regarding the Immortal Gate and the Earth Element Star, potentially leading to a catastrophe far worse than the arrival of the Death God’s True Body.
Ultimately, it was decided that the seal would stay where it was.
Qi Yuheng would maintain a year-round vigil, while other Nascent Souls from the Immortal Gate would rotate as guards.
The plan involved shifts of four Nascent Souls changing every twenty years.
To their surprise, a great number of Nascent Soul cultivators were eager to volunteer.
Since the population of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains was now strictly limited, sixth rank spiritual energy would be constantly available to those stationed there.
Furthermore, despite the interruption, every Nascent Soul who heard the Shocking God Sonata had gained profound insights. With the looming conflict at Ming Wang Star, many were desperate for a period of secluded Cultivation to break through.
Master Chengxuan was a prime example.
Having already glimpsed the path to Divinity Transformation, he merely required a location rich in sixth rank spiritual energy to take the final step.
"Principal, I shall take charge of guarding the Dao Institute in your stead."
Chen Mobai considered the fact that the Dao Morale Sect was scheduled for a new expansion in the Tianhe Realm in ten years. He needed to be there to manage the transition. Since he moved between realms so often, he couldn't remain tied to the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.
Thus, when Chengxuan moved to make his breakthrough, Chen Mobai allowed him access to the sixth rank spiritual energy and assumed his responsibilities as Principal.
"Pure Yang, you have my deepest gratitude!"
Master Chengxuan was visibly moved by the gesture.
Eventually, the majority of the Nascent Soul cultivators settled their worldly affairs and prepared to return to the mountains.
For instance, Yunhai Master handed the leadership of the Nature Studies Academy to Yan Qiongzhi. Before seeking Divinity Transformation, he had one last mission to complete—a chance to prove the realizations he had gained from the Shocking God Sonata.
Within a short period, half of the Immortal Gate's Nascent Soul masters disappeared from public view.
The common people speculated that this was a direct consequence of the Shocking God Sonata.
Wagers were even being placed on which Nascent Soul Superiors would be the first to reach the Dao of Divinity Transformation.
Chen Mobai was the undisputed favorite in these rankings.
He was followed by Master Chengxuan, Yunhai Master, Master Yuan Xu, and several other prominent Nascent Soul Ninth Layer experts within the Immortal Gate.
...
Beyond the atmosphere of the Earth Element Star.
The True Body of Lin Daoming drifted in the vacuum. Surrounded by disciples of the Ascension Sect, he stared down at the world below with a gaze filled with both avarice and caution.
"Qian Xing has fallen, and both Narcissus and Qi Yuheng are gravely wounded. There will never be a better time to strike the Immortal Gate."
While the Death God was being sealed, a fragment of Lin Daoming’s soul incarnation had remained hidden on Gathering-Immortals Peak. Because the Death God’s presence was so overwhelming, neither Bai Guang nor Qian Xing had detected him, allowing him to see the end of the battle.
However, his incarnation had been obliterated when Bai Guang released the power of Destruction and Killing Destiny.
Lin Daoming was uncertain if Bai Guang possessed further hidden trump cards.
Because of this uncertainty, he kept Bai Guang’s existence a secret while goading the Ascension Sect to attack.
"Even the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation has been dismantled."
The Dragon and Tiger Ancestor approached, his voice thick with astonishment.
The sixth rank grand array of the Immortal Gate had been consumed by Qian Xing using the Heavenly Calculation Bead, serving as the foundation for the Death God's prison.
