I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2497 - 1117: Mahayana Book_2

Upon reaching the “Three Thousand Great Dao,” one attains “Mahayana.”

Chen Mobai felt this revelation was somewhat unbelievable, as this section of knowledge should, in theory, belong solely to his senior sister.

Yet here it was, inscribed within the Heavenly Book on the distant Earth Element Star far across the cosmos.

Perhaps after Master Zi Xiao’s departure, his senior sister had shared this portion under duress from fellow students?

Still, upon closer examination, Chen Mobai noticed that the Mahayana Book merely outlined the techniques for forging the universe and manifesting the Three Thousand Great Dao, omitting the vital process of refining those Daos to harness Creation Power.

This realization brought him a measure of ease, assuring him that the Purple Cloud Lineage’s hidden doctrines remained secure across the stars.

Yet shortly after, a pang of regret washed over him.

Back when he studied at the Purple Cloud Palace, this lesson had eluded him. If the Mahayana Book held it, his role as Zi Xiao’s direct heir would feel even more legitimate.

In the days ahead, Chen Mobai restored the other Six Great Heavenly Books to their places, resealed them securely, and immersed himself in the Mahayana Book for deeper study. However, his current cultivation might have been insufficient, or perhaps the absence of a Law Domain blocked him, leaving him with only the first waves of enlightenment and nothing more.

On that particular day, a message arrived from Yu Yi, announcing the completion of two Rank-5 Wood Spiritual Talismans, needing just the infusion of Innate Wood Element Essence Qi to finish.

Chen Mobai returned the Mahayana Book, reinstated the seal, and then took the birdcage from the ground floor to seek out Yu Yi.

Armed with the pair of Rank-5 Wood Spiritual Talismans, Chen Mobai departed the Heavenly Book Academy and made his way back to the Dance Tool Dao Academy.

Unwilling to inform Qing Nu about Kong Feichen’s circumstances, he required a secluded spot inside the Immortal Gate for safekeeping.

Chen Mobai first considered handing it over to Zhuang Jialan, but given her overwhelming duties, he chose not to burden her further.

After pondering the options, Chen Mobai remembered the rear mountain of the Daoist Academy.

By chance, both Chen Xingxing and Yu Tianguang cultivated the Twofold Divine Technique, just like Kong Feichen.

Their trio forming together felt like destiny at work.

With this in mind, Chen Mobai set off straight for the back mountain.

“Ah Xing, I came across this peculiar bird during my morning cultivation today. You and the others must get lonely on your watches, so I figured it could keep you company.”

Chen Mobai addressed Qian Xing’s reincarnated form, who was on shift that day, as he set the birdcage by the guardroom’s window ledge.

“Fine by me, but don’t expect me to feed it. I can barely manage my own meals daily. If the bird wastes away, that’s on you, not me.”

Chen Xingxing cast a quick look at the birdcage, noting the listless bird inside, before dismissing it. His hidden fingers kept swiping across his phone, guiding his avatar through challenging stages.

“Don’t worry about that; my main reason for coming was to check on you. I’ll arrange with Old Yu for the feeding.”

Chen Mobai replied warmly, and to spare Qian Xing from any interruption in his gaming, he quickly took his leave.

Once back in the principal’s office, Chen Mobai contacted Yu Tianguang, who had the day off, and brought up the bird. The man responded with heightened deference, vowing that the creature gifted by the True Monarch would thrive under his care.

With this issue resolved, Chen Mobai prepared to journey to the Eastern Wilderness and hand over the two Wood Spiritual Talismans, only to be hit with troubling news.

Yu Huiping’s life was drawing to a close.

The daughter’s sobbing voice over the call drew a heavy sigh from Chen Mobai, who rushed forthwith to Wangwu Cave Heaven.

When he arrived, numerous members of the Weapon Dancing Sect had already gathered in wait. While Yu Huiping lacked widespread fame among Immortal Gate’s populace, her position as Bai Guang’s sole direct disciple carried great weight.

Furthermore, to the outside world, Chen Mobai stood as Bai Guang’s spouse, making Yu Huiping essentially his own disciple under the banner of the Pure Yang True Monarch.

Chen Mobai drew near the bed, where Chen Xiaohei clutched Yu Huiping’s wrinkled hand, her cheeks wet with flowing tears.

“True Monarch, you’ve arrived.”

Hua Zijing was there too. She welcomed Chen Mobai as he entered and promptly moved aside to watch over the doorway.

“True Monarch, my existence felt complete after Master departed. Witnessing your rise to Divinity Transformation and Xiao Hei’s blossoming into adulthood has brought joys surpassing all expectations...”

Facing her final moments, Yu Huiping met them with a serene smile.

The second act of her life brimmed with no sorrows.

Particularly in nurturing Xiao Hei, she had realized her deepest hopes as a guardian.

Once, Yu Huiping’s fondest recollection was serving as Bai Guang’s apprentice, but now it shifted to beholding the joyful, vibrant Xiao Hei.

Even as her days ended, with Chen Xiaohei’s presence, Yu Huiping’s legacy endured undimmed.

Her spirit would live on through those close to her as her lids finally shut.

“Any final messages? I may cross paths with her again someday.”

Chen Mobai inquired softly.

Yu Huiping instantly knew whom he meant by “her.”

“Please convey to Master how blissful our mountain days were together, despite her youthful ways requiring my constant tending—I always saw her as my own mother...”

Chen Mobai’s question ignited a flood of reminiscences in Yu Huiping. As she recounted, her eyes wandered, visions of countless seasons alongside Bai Guang unfolding, a gentle curve forming on her mouth.

“Child, there’s a truth I’ve kept from you. Your mother bears another profound identity...”

Noticing Yu Huiping’s faltering breaths and sensing her limited time, Chen Mobai surmised she wished to unveil the secret of Xiao Hei’s mother being Bai Guang before it was too late. Thus, he chose to disclose it openly.

“You’re saying Mother was the reincarnation of the White Light Ancestor...”

As anticipated, Chen Xiaohei’s reaction was one of stunned astonishment, whispering the words in denial. Yet memories soon surfaced of Yu Huiping bringing her to Wangxian Peak amid her Nine Yin Meridian crises, where even lofty figures like the Three Extremes Sage acted swiftly and effortlessly secured a Rank-5 Lingxiao Jade Pendant from Taiyuan Academy. Enlightenment dawned across her features.

Back then, her father Chen Mobai had not yet achieved Divinity Transformation and was just an emerging talent in the Immortal Gate, lacking such sway.

Now it all made sense—it stemmed from her mother being Bai Guang.

“Why keep this from me all this time!”

Grasping the revelation, Chen Xiaohei cried out in agitation.

“Xiao Hei, please don’t resent Master for chasing greater realms and leaving you and your father behind...”

In that instant, observing Xiao Hei’s turmoil, Yu Huiping, barely holding on, summoned her remaining vigor to clasp her hand tighter, beseeching forgiveness for her master.

Indeed, Bai Guang’s exit could be viewed, no matter the angle, as forsaking her spouse and offspring—a fault from the outset.

“I worried it might overwhelm you, but she truly cherishes you...”

Chen Mobai also praised Bai Guang, recalling how she bestowed him the Matriarch’s Fire Origin Inner Core before departing and left the Mystic Finger Sword for their daughter. Her flight from the Immortal Gate arose from the dead ends in her path here.

Rather than her perishing trapped within the Immortal Gate’s bounds, Chen Mobai favored her bold pursuit outward.

And thanks to that choice, she emerged as the Immortal Gate’s pioneering true cultivator of the void.

“Grandmother, I hold no grudge; I’m merely stunned that Mother lives on...”

Witnessing Yu Huiping’s strained, uneven breathing and wide eyes, Chen Xiaohei seized her hand firmly, offering solace.

At these words, Yu Huiping let out a profound sigh, her frame going fully limp.

“Xiao Hei, if fate brings you to Master, I wish for you to address her as Mom—this is Grandmother’s dying request.”

Chen Xiaohei nodded vigorously, fearful that Yu Huiping might slip away unrested.

“Grandmaster, this mother and daughter pair possess akin natures; both carry a touch of innocence and youthfulness. If your trio reunites as a family, I entreat you...”

Yu Huiping’s parting utterance faded, her vitality ebbing, vision blurring.

Yet Chen Mobai grasped her unspoken wish.

“Fear not, I shall bear the duties of the household leader!”

Hearing his assurance, Yu Huiping inclined her head, finding true peace at last as her final breath escaped.
