I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2313 - 1050_4

Furthermore, this Divinity Transformation expert has not only just broken through but is already gaining insights into the Great Dao of Fire.

Lin Daoming immediately narrowed down the potential candidates from among the Immortal Gate’s Nascent Soul Cultivators to two specific individuals.

The names that came to mind were Chen Mobai and Wang Chengxuan, both hailing from the Weapon Dancing Sect.

Logically, Wang Chengxuan should have been the one to achieve breakthrough and ascend toward becoming an Immortal.

Nevertheless, Lin Daoming had a gut feeling that even if Wang Chengxuan reached Divinity Transformation, he would be incapable of such a feat.

He envisioned Chen Mobai again, recalling how he had advanced from the seventh to the ninth layer of the Nascent Soul Realm under the influence of the Shocking God Sonata, and his audacious bravery when he drew his blade against the Cultivating Void incarnation of the Death God.

A startling realization, one he found difficult to accept, flashed through his mind.

"That Pure Yang Master must have already completed his Divinity Transformation."

Shen Yuxuan and the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor were visibly stunned upon hearing this claim.

"Wasn't the Sect Hierarch planning to use the Devour God Technique on him? How is it possible that he was the one to break through? Did the plan fail?"

As an authority on the Devour God Technique, Shen Yuxuan was utterly perplexed. He found it impossible to grasp how the Ascension Sect’s Hierarch—possessing a millennium of cultivation and the legacy of three lifetimes—could be defeated by Chen Mobai, who had practiced cultivation for less than two centuries.

"This is the sign of a person possessing Great Qi Luck!"

Lin Daoming squinted, remembering the ancient lore stating that a figure of great destiny would arise during times of immense tribulation.

The providence of the Earth Element Star had hit its lowest ebb. However, after he had summoned the Three-Eyed Star and the Ming Wang Star, the planet seemed to react to an instinctual threat, likely fueling the rise of a genius like Chen Mobai to oppose the disaster.

Within the Three Thousand Demon Paths, there existed a Heavenly Demon specialized in the Qi Luck Stealing Technique.

This was actually one of the seventy-two manifestations of the Demon Lord.

A spark of avarice ignited in Lin Daoming’s heart at the thought.

If he could manage to consume and refine Chen Mobai, his Formless Heavenly Demon Path would undoubtedly reach a far superior level.

"Venerable, what is our next move?"

Both Shen Yuxuan and the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor were shaking with anxiety at the prospect of Chen Mobai reaching Divinity Transformation.

The sight of the star being reduced to cosmic dust served as a grim reminder of his ruthless killing intent, which surpassed any other Divinity Transformation True Monarch in the Immortal Gate.

Should Chen Mobai decide to hunt them down, they—as Nascent Soul Cultivators—might perish in the void of space due to a lack of Spiritual Energy.

"Simply stay with me. Even if he manifests his Primordial Spirit and employs Sword Dao Divinity Transformation, it remains uncertain who would prevail against my True Demon’s Body."

Lin Daoming spoke with absolute assurance.

The Dragon and Tiger Ancestor and Shen Yuxuan looked toward his Earth True Locust Body. Feeling slightly more secure, they exchanged glances and gave somber nods of agreement.

...

Inside the conference room of the Dance Tool Dao Academy’s Building 1, Wenren Xuewei had taken over for Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan. She was now performing a tea ceremony for the assembled Nascent Soul Cultivators.

The audience offered constant praise for her graceful and fluid technique.

Just as hot tea was served to everyone and Wenren Xuewei prepared to speak, an invisible, heavy pressure filled the room. In a flash of silver light, a young man with crimson hair and brows appeared—Chen Mobai had taken the primary seat.

"I apologize for the delay; I spent a bit of time cleaning up the situation with the Ascension Sect," Chen Mobai said with a regretful expression as he explained his tardiness. He then took the tea from Wenren Xuewei and drank it.

"Please, there is no need for apologies. The fact that a True Monarch had to personally intervene only proves we haven't fulfilled our own duties properly," Gongye Zhixu replied immediately. Aside from Pei Qingshuang and Wenren Xuewei, everyone else nodded in agreement.

The Ascension Sect Hierarch matter was the responsibility of the Patching Heaven Group, a branch of the Hall of Orthodox Law.

Such a statement basically branded the two of them as failures!

Wenren Xuewei shot a glare at Gongye Zhixu. The brief rapport they had built over the Chen Xiaohei incident vanished instantly, and she no longer felt like serving him tea.

"I am also to blame for this. As the former Master of the Orthodox Law Hall and leader of the Patching Heaven Group, I failed to remove this threat during my tenure. It was a serious oversight..."

Chen Mobai spoke up to take the responsibility himself, which eased Wenren Xuewei's discomfort.

"True Monarch, you are mistaken. If we look at it that way, wouldn't the previous leaders of the Orthodox Law Hall bear even more blame? Your success in eliminating the Ascension Sect Hierarch is a massive achievement."

Chen Mobai inwardly admired Gongye Zhixu’s silver tongue.

It was clear why he had survived for centuries within the Three Great Halls; his social maneuvering was even more refined than Ying Guanghua’s.

Thinking of his former competitor, Ying Guanghua, Chen Mobai let out a soft sigh.

Following the Death God’s Tribulation, Qi Yuheng had looked into Lin Daoming—who had been posing as Ying Guanghua—and confirmed his disappearance.

Chen Chun, who had gone to play the Shocking God Sonata, was also gone.

While the records listed them as missing, the reality was likely bleak; they were probably dead.

Even though Chen Mobai and Ying Guanghua had often clashed as rivals in the Three Great Halls, it had merely been a conflict of interests.

In truth, Chen Mobai held a level of respect for Ying Guanghua.

Had he survived to see that Chen Mobai had cultivated a Second Primeval Spirit, he likely would have bowed in submission, just as Ye Yune had done.

At that thought, Chen Mobai sighed once more.

"True Monarch, why do you seem so troubled?" Gongye Zhixu asked, noticing his mood.

"Ah, seeing you, Hall Master Gongye, simply reminded me of your predecessor, Hall Master Ying. Had he lived, perhaps he too would have reached Divinity Transformation under the influence of the Shocking God Sonata."

The crowd listened, though they took the comment with a grain of salt.

Achieving Divinity Transformation was a monumental task, reserved only for peerless geniuses like the man before them.

While Ying Guanghua was talented by the standards of the Immortal Gate, reaching that level would likely have required the Divine Nature gifted by the Dragon God Star.

Nevertheless, because Chen Mobai said it, the others echoed his sentiments out of courtesy.

Through this shared nostalgia, the memory of the presumably deceased Ying Guanghua became much more heroic.

Chen Mobai showed nothing but respect for his fallen rival.

Moving on, he began to lecture on his experiences regarding the cultivation of the Second Primeval Spirit.

He kept the essential Fire Path Dao Fruits a secret.

He explained his mastery of the Law of the Five Tones as a moment of sudden enlightenment triggered by the Shocking God Sonata.

Regarding his breakthrough in Divine Consciousness, Chen Mobai hesitated before attributing it to his own natural brilliance, combined with his total mastery of the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun map and his comprehension of the Phoenix Seal Scripture.

After all, admitting he used the Devour God Technique to steal a millennium of cultivation from the Ascension Sect Hierarch would tarnish his image as a pure genius.

In his narrative, Chen Mobai’s current status was the result of hard work and innate talent.

Any lucky breaks were merely minor aids along the way.

As the lecture concluded, the room was filled with waves of admiration. Everyone believed him, as Chen Mobai’s rise through the ranks of the Immortal Gate was well-documented.

From Core Formation to Nascent Soul, and now to Divinity Transformation, he had never relied on the Immortal Gate for resources.

Every step of his journey had been achieved through his own power.
