I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2322 - 1053: Gifts of the Pure Yang True Lord

"He has endured such a bitter life!"

Standing within the Nature Studies Academy, Yan Bingxuan felt her legs grow weak. After hearing the "truth" from Yan Qiongzhi, her thoughts were in such a state of upheaval that her vision began to blur.

In her heart, her beloved was the greatest genius in the history of the Immortal Gate and the most promising candidate to reach the Void. Since he left Red Sandstone City and joined the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he should have been a favored child of heaven, standing high above the masses.

She never imagined that his brilliance would attract the attention of a powerful old hag from the Immortal Gate's upper echelons, who went as far as forcing him to father a daughter.

Yan Bingxuan thought back to the moment she finished her Core Formation. Chen Mobai had been waiting outside the Cultivation Room to apologize, explaining that he had a wife and child and could not be with her. At the time, she had coldly dismissed him as a heartless scoundrel.

Realizing the truth now, her silent departure back then must have caused him immense pain.

"I was wrong. I never should have held it against him..."

She whispered to herself, overcome with shame for having privately labeled Chen Mobai a villain for all these years.

He must have endured untold suffering to shield her from that old hag.

Even after the old woman left, perhaps he stayed away because of his daughter. Or maybe he simply wanted her to live a peaceful life, free from the dark shadow that had loomed over him.

Their recent reunion and the love they shared must have been born from an uncontrollable flood of long-suppressed emotions.

It was tragic to think that their joy had lasted only a few days before the old hag reappeared.

This realization ignited a fierce spark of motivation within Yan Bingxuan.

"Teacher, I am determined to excel in my Cultivation. Even if I can never truly stand beside him, I refuse to remain his greatest weakness."

Yan Qiongzhi observed the resolve in Yan Bingxuan’s eyes and gave an approving nod.

The truth had not shattered her; instead, it had tempered her Dao Heart. This would surely put Pure Yang True Monarch’s mind at ease.

She only hoped that Yan Bingxuan would not lose heart in the future when she realized the staggering distance between herself and Ancestor White Light.

"Pure Yang True Monarch requested that I deliver these to you..."

As she spoke, Yan Qiongzhi opened her domain, allowing a jade pendant and a flying sword to descend.

The flying sword shimmered with a radiant, icy light. It was named "Cold Muscle" because its snow-white, jade-like blade was as smooth as a young woman's skin.

The jade pendant was a deep, frozen blue and emitted a faint frost. Named "Heaven Condense," it was crafted in the shape of butterfly wings with delicate snowflake patterns along the edges. Once refined, it could create a powerful ice shield and assist in Cultivation by condensing True Qi and Ice Spirit Power.

"Teacher, is this actually a Rank-4 Magic Artifact?"

After applying the Sacramental Refinement Mantra and bonding with the items through her Ice Spirit Power, Yan Bingxuan gasped in shock.

"These are from the Dance Tool Dao Academy’s private treasury. Pure Yang True Monarch used his accumulated Good Deed Points to get them for you. However, to prevent any rumors, you must not use these artifacts openly until they are fully refined..."

Yan Qiongzhi relayed the warnings Chen Mobai had provided.

These were two mid-grade Rank-4 Magic Artifacts of the ice attribute. Even with Pure Yang True Monarch’s protection, it would look suspicious if anyone checked the academy’s records, as there were currently no Nascent Soul cultivators with an Ice Spiritual Root.

Logically, the Cold Muscle Sword and the Heaven Condensing Pendant should not have been in the academy’s collection.

Of course, if they were absolutely forced to explain the origin, they could simply claim the items were brought back from the outside world by Ancestor Yun Ya.

Since the Dance Tool Dao Academy was famous at the White Crane Dao Arena for its expertise in alchemy and artifact refining, possessing such Rank-4 treasures was not entirely unbelievable.

"I understand. I won't bring any trouble to him," Yan Bingxuan promised.

Everyone within the Immortal Gate understood the immense value of Rank-4 Magic Artifacts; they were the standard equipment for those at the Nascent Soul stage.

For those below that level, only individuals like Chen Xiaohei or Zhongli Tianyu—who possessed massive backing—or Master Chengxuan, who had a unique affinity for artifacts, would ever own one.

Even Master Chengxuan’s opportunity was a gift from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.

The Nature Studies Academy had very few Rank-4 artifacts, and all were documented in the official registry. None of them matched these two items, so showing them off would cause a massive stir.

While Chen Mobai could likely weather such a storm, Yan Bingxuan did not want her actions to cause him any stress.

"There are also these Spirit Stones that Pure Yang True Monarch wanted you to have..."

Watching Yan Bingxuan begin the refining process, Yan Qiongzhi handed over a bag filled with Spirit Stones. This final gesture moved Yan Bingxuan to tears.

Had she not known that Chen Mobai was in seclusion to stabilize his Realm, she would have run to him immediately.

...

[I have received everything. Thank you!]

[I am going to dedicate myself fully to my Cultivation.]

[Teacher explained everything. I realize now that I have misunderstood you all this time.]

[If a danger like that ever returns, I would rather face death than see you forced to bow your head for my sake.]

[To me, you will always be that unyielding, magnificent man.]

[I miss you...]

Chen Mobai scrolled through the messages from Yan Bingxuan. When he reached the final one, his resolve nearly crumbled, and he almost left his seclusion to find her.

Fortunately, his higher Realm had granted him much stronger willpower than before.
