I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2316 - 1051: Part 3

Unlike Qi Yuheng, Chen Mobai had maintained a lifestyle of extravagance throughout his entire path of cultivation.

As he looked toward the Ming Wang Star, a celestial body extensively recorded within the chronicles of the Immortal Gate, he felt a deep desire to utilize every resource he had gathered to bolster the collective power of the Immortal Gate.

"I have no objections; you should see to it, Pure Yang. However, you must remember that even though the Dragon God Star’s Spirit Vein is now ours, there is a limit to how many God-Transcending cultivators it can support."

After considering the proposal, Qi Yuheng found it reasonable but still felt the need to offer a word of caution.

"Rest easy. The fact that the White Light Ancestor achieved Cultivating Void is proof that departing from the Earth Element Star is the correct path. Should we survive this pioneering war, I am prepared to lead the way out of the Tianyang Star System, leaving the Spiritual Energy behind for those who come after us."

Chen Mobai spoke with such profound righteousness that Qi Yuheng found himself visibly moved.

"If that day truly arrives, I would be honored to travel that path by your side."

"We can revisit this discussion once the pioneering war concludes. For now, our primary focus is ensuring that the Immortal Gate can produce several more God-Transcending cultivators."

Chen Mobai pivoted the conversation instantly. His willingness to depart stemmed from the fact that he could return at any time using the Turtle Treasure—a convenience that would be lost if he were traveling in the company of Qi Yuheng.

"Contained here are the Divine Natures of the Earth Dragon God and the Celestial Dragon God, along with the Fruit of Dao’s Rule, which were entrusted to me by the Qian Xing Ancestor before his reincarnation."

With a flick of Qi Yuheng’s wrist, three Jade Boxes materialized from the void and settled before Chen Mobai.

"Pure Yang, it is up to you to select the most suitable Refiners for these items."

Chen Mobai felt a wave of gratitude at those words.

It was clear that Qi Yuheng placed absolute trust in his judgment.

"Since this involves the God-Transcending realm, we should consult one another when choosing the candidates."

Believing that a decision of such magnitude should not rest on his shoulders alone, Chen Mobai sought to include Qi Yuheng’s perspective.

"You and Narcissus can coordinate the arrangements; I have full confidence in both of you."

Qi Yuheng replied without a moment's pause.

"Very well."

Chen Mobai did not push the issue further, but he silently vowed to remain entirely selfless regarding these treasures, determined to prove worthy of the trust Qi Yuheng had placed in him.

"If you ever grow weary, send for me. I can take your place in guarding the seal."

As he departed from the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, Chen Mobai left these words for Qi Yuheng, who responded with a knowing smile and a nod.

...

At the Dance Tool Dao Academy.

While Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan spent time together feeding the student council's white cat and talking about old memories, Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu sat by a window sharing drinks.

After several cups, a slightly intoxicated Zhongli Tianyu finally spoke his mind: "When I first enrolled in the Dance Tool Dao Academy, I was certain my talent would allow me to dominate everyone. I never imagined someone like you would appear. Because of you, I’ve been stuck in second place my whole life."

"You might be thinking too highly of yourself; second place isn't necessarily guaranteed for you."

Chen Mobai replied with blunt honesty. Although Zhongli Tianyu had stabilized his Nascent Soul, he still lagged behind those like Wenren Xuewei, who possessed a Dao Seed of God Transformation.

Furthermore, among the other Nascent Soul Ninth Layer experts in the Immortal Gate—such as Master Yunhai, Master Yuan Xu, or the understated Elder Qingping—none were weaker than Zhongli Tianyu.

"Fine, then I’ll make second place my goal for now. It will drive me to keep pushing forward. As for surpassing you, I know that’s impossible in this lifetime."

Zhongli Tianyu took another frustrated gulp of wine. Despite his pride and lofty goals, he understood exactly how daunting the threshold of God-Transcending truly was.

He had once believed he might bridge the gap after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, but those hopes vanished the moment he saw Chen Mobai manifest a Second Primeval Spirit.

"The Immortal Gate is entering a period without precedent; resources that were once out of reach may soon be distributed. If you perform your duties and earn merit during this war, your name will be remembered in the legends of the future."

Holding his wine cup, Chen Mobai looked out at the scenery, a deep, thoughtful light gleaming in his eyes.

On the Earth Element Star, the peak of Deity Transformation was the absolute limit of his potential growth.

To reach the stage of Cultivating Void and seek even greater heights, he would eventually have to depart.

However, before that time came, he was determined to leave behind a powerful successor to lead the Immortal Gate.

As a disciple of Qi Yuheng and a member of the Weapon Dancing Sect, Zhongli Tianyu was the most logical choice.

"Don't you worry, I will definitely reach the God-Transcending realm!"

Zhongli Tianyu’s voice rang out, followed by a soft meow. The white cat, finished with its meal from the girls, hopped onto Chen Mobai’s shoulder and curled up lazily.

Since his primary form lacked the heavy pressure of the Great Tao, Chen Mobai’s Pure Yang Refining Body radiated a comforting warmth. His use of the Longevity Technique to draw in the life force of heaven and earth made him naturally attractive to the spiritual feline.

"True Monarch..."

Seeing the scene, Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan walked over.

Chen Mobai offered a small smile, placing his cup down to pet the soft fur of the cat resting on him.

This was perhaps his final moment of tranquility within the Daoist Academy.

...

In the Sea Territory.

Using Void Teleportation, Chen Mobai appeared inside Narcissus’s private chamber without effort.

"I have no objections to your plans; you handle the details."

Upon learning the reason for his visit, Narcissus dismissed the matter with a wave of her hand, mirroring Qi Yuheng's stance.

"These three sets of Deity Transformation Resources are intended for the disciples of the Immortal Sect..."

Beyond just informing Narcissus, Chen Mobai had come to ensure the foundation was laid for the era to come.
