I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2320 - 1052_3
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Within the Immortal Gate, this legacy is regarded as second in importance only to the Deity Transformation Technique itself.
After modifying the Dao Fruit section of the Ice Heaven Cultivation to focus on the Cold Flames Ice Silkworm, Chen Mobai utilized the Law of the Five Tones to verify the technique. Once he was certain no flaws remained, he reached out to Yan Qiongzhi.
"Yes, True Monarch, I shall depart immediately!"
Having recently accepted the role of director at the Nature Studies Academy, Yan Qiongzhi did not delay. Upon receiving the summons from Chen Mobai, she promptly arranged her travel to the Red City Cave Heaven.
Although Chen Mobai’s primary body had not officially made the breakthrough to Deity Transformation, and the Immortal Gate had kept the news from the general public, the Nascent Soul community was well aware of the truth. It was common knowledge among the elite that the Pure Yang True Monarch had successfully refined a Second Primeval Spirit.
Even without this new achievement, Yan Qiongzhi’s admiration for Chen Mobai remained profound.
For instance, following the Death God’s Tribulation, she had been a witness to the heated dispute between Chen Mobai and the Bai Guang Ancestor. Despite this, she maintained her silence and never mentioned a word of the conflict to Yan Bingxuan upon her return.
As she ascended to the Nascent Soul stage, many of the world's secrets were unveiled to her.
The Yunhai Master had shared the history of Chen Mobai with her, describing him as a genius without equal in the Immortal Gate’s history—a talent so great that he had been targeted by the Bai Guang Ancestor because of his immense potential.
Yan Qiongzhi thought back to the moment Chen Mobai had announced the existence of his daughter. At the time, she had internally labeled him a scoundrel for betraying Yan Bingxuan’s devotion.
However, after discovering the hidden truth, Yan Qiongzhi understood the immense pressure and suffering Chen Mobai had endured.
She believed that the proud Pure Yang True Monarch must have submitted to the Bai Guang Ancestor’s coercion only to shield Yan Bingxuan from danger, especially since his daughter represented a clear vulnerability that could be exploited.
Reflecting on this, Yan Qiongzhi found the character of the Pure Yang True Monarch to be truly exceptional.
At that moment, the once-distant and god-like figure of Chen Mobai began to feel more human and relatable in her eyes.
He was a man of true substance.
These realizations were the reason Yan Qiongzhi had actively helped Chen Mobai keep his secrets following the Death God’s Tribulation.
"Xuan’er, I have urgent business at the Dance Tool Dao Academy. I need you to oversee the academy while I am away."
Before her departure, Yan Qiongzhi met with Yan Bingxuan to explain her absence.
"May I accompany you?"
Yan Bingxuan asked with a hopeful look.
Since the events of the Death God’s Tribulation, the Immortal Gate’s leadership had remained quiet. However, as a Golden Core cultivator with ties to the inner circle, Yan Bingxuan had heard rumors and felt a deep concern for Chen Mobai.
They had maintained contact, yet they had not seen each other in person since that time.
"I'm afraid that isn't possible, Xuan’er. To be honest, the Pure Yang Master has successfully cultivated his Second Primeval Spirit and is now recognized as the third saint of the Immortal Gate. He is currently stabilizing his cultivation in anticipation of the upcoming war. His summons must be regarding a matter of great importance."
Unlike the details of the Death God’s Tribulation, which were suppressed by a Deity Transformation level order, the news of the Immortal Gate’s third saint was permitted to be discussed.
Furthermore, since Chen Mobai had already made a public show of power by reducing the Ascension Sect’s headquarters to cinders, there was no point in hiding his strength.
Yan Qiongzhi mentioned this specifically because Chen Mobai had requested her presence alone.
She might have lacked a taste for social politics, but she was far from naive.
If Chen Mobai wished to see Yan Bingxuan, a man of his cultivation could easily utilize Void Teleportation at a moment's notice.
By summoning only her, he was signaling a desire to avoid a meeting with Yan Bingxuan.
Recalling the confrontation between the Pure Yang True Monarch and the Bai Guang Ancestor after the sealing of the Death God’s Tribulation, Yan Qiongzhi felt she understood his motives.
She felt a renewed sense of respect for the Pure Yang True Monarch’s iron will!
Even when faced with a Void Cultivating Ancestor, he refused to waver!
"He actually managed to..."
Hearing that Chen Mobai had indeed mastered the Second Primeval Spirit, Yan Bingxuan linked the news to the recent reports of spiritual fluctuations within the Fifth Rank Spirit Vein of Red City Cave Heaven. She was stunned, yet it made sense to her, and she felt a flicker of pride.
"In that case, he should focus on stabilizing his realm. I will not bother him."
Yan Bingxuan nodded, letting go of her desire to go with her.
"Is there a message you want me to give him?"
Yan Qiongzhi asked after a brief moment of hesitation before leaving.
"Tell him to focus on his path and prepare for the war. I will also dedicate myself to my cultivation, in hopes that I might one day be of use to him."
Despite her words, a shade of disappointment and a lack of confidence flickered in Yan Bingxuan’s eyes.
She had always known that with Chen Mobai’s extraordinary talent, reaching the Deity Transformation stage was only a matter of time.
But now that it had actually happened, the speed of his advancement left her feeling overwhelmed.
She felt capable of bridging the gap from Golden Core to Nascent Soul through hard work, but the Deity Transformation Realm felt entirely out of reach, even with the abundant resources Chen Mobai provided.
Such a disparity suggested that, eventually, she might share the fate of Chen Mobai’s deceased wife, reaching the end of her lifespan while he continued on.
The thought caused her normally serene and icy composure to waver.
Yan Qiongzhi noticed her distress immediately.
However, she chose not to intervene, as she lacked experience in matters of the heart herself.
Upon arriving at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Zhuang Jialan quickly led Yan Qiongzhi to the most secluded area of the Treasure Trove.
Shortly after, Chen Mobai’s Second Primeval Spirit emerged from the Yuping Small Realm.
"My greetings to the Pure Yang True Monarch!"
Feeling the overwhelming aura of a Deity Transformation level being firsthand, Yan Qiongzhi’s demeanor became even more humble.
"There is no need for such ceremony."
Chen Mobai waved off her formalities. He then signaled to Qin Beichen and Zhuang Jialan, who immediately withdrew, leaving the two of them alone on the black island.
