I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2333 - 1005: Part 4

The intent was to place some burden on her, as she had enjoyed a life of ease and smooth progression since her youth.

"Father, I promise to dedicate myself fully to my training."

"Good. As my child, your destiny is to carve your name into the annals of the Immortal Gate. This is the Heavenly Realm Pure Water I requested from the Narcissus. Your previous refinement failed to push your Water Spirit Root to the absolute limit of 100 points; consuming this additional bottle should be sufficient to bridge that gap."

Chen Mobai finally disclosed the primary reason for his visit.

Back when Chen Xiaohei was an exchange student in the Sea Territory, the Spiritual Venerable had gifted a bottle of Heavenly Realm Pure Water as a favor to Bai Guang.

For a God-Transcending cultivator to spend an entire decade of focused effort on its creation, such a spiritual resource is bound to be extraordinary. A standard practitioner who refines a single dose can instantly transform their aptitude into a Heavenly Water Spirit Root.

Essentially, one bottle possesses the power to boost the Water Spirit Root by 80 points.

However, Chen Xiaohei’s circumstances were complex; she had to harmonize her Water Spirit Root with her Ice Spirit Root while simultaneously prioritizing Primordial True Qi and the Sword Dao. Lacking the time to properly practice the Root Method of Spirit, her Water Spirit Root had actually dropped below the 80-point mark.

Chen Mobai handed over half a bottle, an amount perfectly calculated to elevate her Water Spirit Root to the 100-point maximum.

"Once you possess the Immortal Spirit Root, a window to perceive the Dao will open. You must be completely prepared to seize that moment..."

While sharing his personal insights, Chen Mobai also transferred a comprehensive collection of data regarding the Immortal Spirit Root to her.

Chen Xiaohei nodded incessantly, staring at the Heavenly Realm Pure Water and marveling at the sheer depth of her father’s connections.

During her tenure in the Sea Territory, she had befriended several aquatic beings and maintained those ties. Following the Spiritual Venerable’s departure, her contacts informed her that the Narcissus Ancestor no longer possessed the strength required to produce more Heavenly Realm Pure Water.

This meant the supply was finite; every drop used was a drop gone forever.

It was truly a treasure of the highest order.

"Once the conflict begins, the Three Great Halls will surely distribute massive quantities of resources as incentives; aim to reach the Perfect Core Formation stage within the coming decades."

"This era represents the most perilous crisis the Immortal Gate has ever faced. Even at my level of Cultivation, there is a chance I could perish. I want you to have the power to stay safe before that happens."

"Should the day come when I am truly gone, do not dwell in grief. Simply inter this item alongside your mother."

As he spoke, Chen Mobai passed the White Stone previously owned by Bai Guang to Chen Xiaohei. Theoretically, the stone’s energy had been entirely spent.

Nevertheless, Chen Mobai harbored doubts about Bai Guang, suspecting the White Stone might contain a hidden force capable of tracking or recording his every action. Thus, he decided to entrust it to his daughter.

Within the entire Immortal Gate, Chen Xiaohei was perhaps the only person he felt could safely hold this White Stone.

Moved by Chen Mobai’s somber words, Chen Xiaohei felt a wave of regret over her previous laziness. Had she matched her father’s diligence, she might already be standing at the threshold of Nascent Soul Formation.

If she were stronger, she could have been a true asset in the looming war.

"I have faith in you."

Having finished his lecture, Chen Mobai announced his departure for the Dance Tool Dao Academy to begin a period of seclusion. He hoped to achieve a breakthrough to the God-Transcending realm before the portal’s activation.

"Dad, you really should allow yourself to rest sometimes."

Noticing the late hour and recalling how her father spent nearly all his time inside the Cultivation Room whenever the family stayed together, she felt a pang of sympathy and spoke in a gentle tone.

"With the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands of the Immortal Gate and three billion souls resting upon my shoulders, I cannot afford to rest!"

Keeping his back turned to Chen Xiaohei, Chen Mobai let out a staged sigh and offered a final wave. He then dissolved into a streak of silver light and vanished.

Watching him go, Chen Xiaohei’s eyes grew misty.

Even Yu Huiping couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

She mused that while her teacher's personality might be questionable, she had certainly chosen a man of exceptional character.

...Upon arriving back at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai stood before the portal and examined it closely.

Ever since this treasure of the Immortal Sect came into his possession, the Turtle Treasure had been incessantly triggering notifications.

With his current level of attainment, he was able to perceive certain truths.

Each portal is essentially a physical manifestation and a concentrated essence of the Void Great Dao.

If the Turtle Treasure were to consume such a staggering amount of Void Power, it might finally shed its mysteries and show its true form.

He wondered if it was a Seventh Rank Innate Spiritual Treasure, an Eighth Rank Innate Treasure, or perhaps the Dao Treasure of some supreme being.

This uncertainty was why Chen Mobai had hesitated to act.

He could manage the implications of a Seventh Rank Innate Spiritual Treasure.

However, if it proved to be Eighth Rank, it would imply the Turtle Treasure was the embodiment of the Great Dao itself.

Yet, the records of the four lineages’ ancestors clearly stated that the Void Great Dao of this cosmos was represented by the Gate of Taixu, the ultimate treasure of the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable.

The Dao is solitary and unique.

If the Turtle Treasure was Eighth Rank, it would mean something was wrong with the Gate of Taixu.

Ancestor Yun Ya’s notes mentioned that numerous Pure Yang experts had made use of the Gate of Taixu.

If the seat of the Void Great Dao were truly empty, those powerful entities would have undoubtedly seized it by now.

If the Turtle Treasure revealed an Eighth Rank presence, Chen Mobai feared that even in the furthest reaches of the universe, he would be unable to hide from the gaze of those Great Powers.

Consequently, after much deliberation, Chen Mobai opted against letting the Turtle Treasure consume the portal.

Ultimately, this portal was the sole hope for the Immortal Gate to exit the Tianyang Star System and return to the Central Dojo of the Purple Cloud Galaxy.

Despite his willingness to spend the Immortal Gate's resources freely, he could not bring himself to destroy the portal.

He possessed the ability to cross between worlds, but the God-Transcending cultivators of the Immortal Gate relied on this gate to reach the Central Dojo.

He couldn't exactly ferry every God-Transcending master of the Immortal Gate into the Tianhe Realm personally.

Still, Chen Mobai kept one scenario in mind where he might allow the Turtle Treasure to feed on the portal.

That would be during the war, if the Immortal Gate found itself unable to repel the forces of Ming Wang Star and the elite masters of the Underworld King.

In that dire situation, to save the Earth Element Star from total annihilation, he believed destroying the portal would be the necessary course of action.

Without the gate, even though Ming Wang Star remained close, the Immortal Gate would have the option to drift through the cosmos.

A contingency plan for a "wandering Earth Element Star" had been drafted long ago.

By slightly altering the Spiritual Pivot of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands, they could be transformed into the planet's propulsion engines.

Having weighed all possibilities, Chen Mobai quieted the Turtle Treasure once more and engaged the teleportation function.

In a flash of silver, he was transported back to the Eastern Wilderness.

Standing up within the Cultivation Room of the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, Chen Mobai released his immense Divine Sense, quickly noting that Qing Nu was absent.

His Divine Sense continued to ripple outward from his dwelling, blanketing the entirety of Yun Meng Ze and stretching into the neighboring East Wu and various parts of the Eastern Wilderness.
