I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2323: 1053_2

Chen Mobai made a call to Meng Huang after he finished soothing Yan Bingxuan.

“Your original essence has been drained, so make recovery your priority. I've arranged for some resources to be sent your way. Zijing will deliver them, so put your mind at ease regarding other matters…”

“Yes, Master.”

Meng Huang's voice was tinged with caution as she answered him.

As a performer of the Shocking God Sonata, she had been present on the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains and had personally witnessed the dispute between Chen Mobai and Bai Guang.

While the details of their argument escaped her, she had later overheard a private discussion between two Nascent Soul Cultivators, Ye Yun’e and Xiao Yuping, while the Arts Department was being organized. From them, she learned the shocking truth: Chen Mobai’s late wife, Shi Wanyu, was actually the reincarnated body of Bai Guang.

This revelation had left her utterly stunned.

At that moment, Meng Huang felt a wave of relief that she hadn't yet followed through on her plan to have Chen Xiaohei address her as "Mom."

Had she done so, Bai Guang’s first sword strike would likely have been aimed directly at her throat upon her appearance.

Ever since that realization, Meng Huang had lived in a state of constant anxiety.

She lived in fear that her secret entanglement would be uncovered by Bai Guang.

Despite her great ambitions, her fear of death was even greater!

Chen Mobai found Meng Huang’s unusually stiff response somewhat confusing, though he assumed it was merely a side effect of her unhealed injuries and the severe depletion of her vital energy.

Recalling her contributions to the Law of the Five Tones, he softened his tone to offer comfort: “Stay in isolation at home for now. If you require anything, simply inform Zijing and she will assist you. Should any trouble arise, you are free to contact me directly.”

Meng Huang merely offered a very guarded hum in response.

Seeing that the conversation had reached its end, Chen Mobai ended the call.

Following the Death God’s Tribulation, Meng Huang had been permitted to return to her residence after a period of quarantine at the Welcoming Immortals Hotel, as she appeared mentally stable and had not fallen into depravity.

Nevertheless, the Three Extremes Sage insisted on a year of home isolation as a safety precaution.

The Department of Law Enforcement was the entity responsible for monitoring those under such restrictions.

Before Chen Mobai vacated his position as the Orthodox Law Hall Master, he had specifically briefed Hua Zijing on Meng Huang’s circumstances, requesting that she look after her.

Due to her confinement, Meng Huang remained unaware that Chen Mobai had ascended to become the third saint of the Immortal Gate.

The doorbell chimed one day later.

Through the spiritual restriction on her door, Meng Huang identified the visitor as Hua Zijing.

She opened the door with a polite expression, finding Hua Zijing standing there in specialized protective gear. Upon seeing her, Hua Zijing produced a talisman.

The Department of Law Enforcement placed a restriction on every isolated individual to ensure they stayed indoors; the unique talisman in Hua Zijing’s hand served as the key to temporarily bypass it.

“The True Monarch requested that I bring these to you…”

Hua Zijing remained outside. After deactivating the isolation barrier, she retrieved a sturdy leather box from a spatial void and passed it to Meng Huang.

“My thanks… wait… which True Monarch sent this? Wasn't it the Pure Yang Master?”

Meng Huang thanked her instinctively as she took the box, but she suddenly caught the discrepancy in the title.

Why were items from the Pure Yang Master suddenly being attributed to a True Monarch!

She wondered if the Double Saints of the Immortal Gate were finally showing pity to the performers of the Shocking God Sonata by sending medicinal supplements.

But why wait until now?

And did the Pure Yang Master have prior knowledge of this?

“The public hasn't heard the news within the Immortal Gate yet, but since you share a close bond with him, there is no harm in telling you. 'Pure Yang Master' is now an outdated title. He has become the third saint of the Immortal Gate: the Pure Yang True Monarch.”

Having served as Chen Mobai’s secretaries for years, Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan were aware of the brief, unrequited connection he had with Meng Huang during their youth at the Dance Tool Dao Academy.

Chen Mobai had frequently tasked them with delivering Cultivation resources to Meng Huang over the years.

The two women, however, viewed this merely as Chen Mobai being a loyal and generous friend who looked after old acquaintances after his rise to power, rather than suspecting any scandalous motives.

Since Chen Mobai had explicitly told her to bring resources to Meng Huang, Hua Zijing decided to share the joyous update while she was there.

“He… he reached Divinity Transformation!”

The news hit Meng Huang like a physical blow, leaving her frozen at the entrance. Her weakened body trembled, nearly failing her due to the shock.

How could he have achieved it so quickly!

Was it the result of the Shocking God Sonata?

No, that couldn't be right; the Sonata had only reached its midpoint. His success in Divinity Transformation must be credited to his own peerless talent.

This was truly the potential required for ascension!

[Oh no, was I too cold when he called me yesterday?] This was the first panicked thought that raced through Meng Huang’s mind once she regained her senses.

“Is something wrong? Are you feeling ill?”

Observing Meng Huang’s heavy breathing and the way her pale face flushed while her eyes darted with complex emotions, Hua Zijing asked with genuine concern.

“It’s only that the news was so startling. I’m so happy I can barely catch my breath.”

Meng Huang forced a smile, though her mind was already racing, trying to figure out how to rectify her behavior from the previous day.

“I felt much the same when I first learned of it. Rest well, Junior Sister Meng. On the orders of the Pure Yang True Monarch, the Immortal Gate is preparing to release various resources. Having performed the Shocking God Sonata, you have essentially glimpsed the rhythms of the Dao. With the True Monarch’s backing and the support of our Weapon Dancing Sect, reaching the Nascent Soul stage might actually be within your reach in the future.”
