I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2424 - 1084: Entering the Purple Cloud Palace Again (Part 4)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
"Teacher, why can’t Senior Brother Yi Xing attain eternity?" Right then, the second youth clad in gray robes picked up right after the earlier query and voiced his doubt.
The Daoist in purple robes answered, "Since I'm only at the eternal realm myself, I can merely glimpse what's beneath eternity and fail to pierce through peers in the same level. Yet, at the very least, Yi Xing's path to eternity remains unseen by me!"
Once the Daoist's explanation sank in, murmurs erupted wildly among the assembly.
Still, this revelation confirmed a key truth: their teacher truly resided in the eternal realm.
It was now the black-robed youth with white hair's opportunity, and he chose sound transmission for his query, seemingly intent on keeping it private from the rest.
The purple-robed Daoist mirrored the approach, replying via sound transmission as well.
Chen Mobai observed the black-robed, white-haired youth settling back into his seat, brow deeply creased after his inquiry.
The True Dragon and Phoenix followed suit, exchanging words through sound transmission.
"Teacher, I yearn to forge a universe and command the Three Thousand Great Dao. Kindly impart the way to bring it into being, along with the force of creation!"
The final figure perched on the turtle, a cultivator in blue robes, declared this boldly before the entire group.
"Yes!"
Hearing her words, the purple-robed Daoist smiled and nodded, then drew forth a lotus seed from the green lotus beneath him.
That seed unfurled into bloom, reshaping into a gateway of ancient design.
"Behold the Gate of Taixu. Upon my leaving, it shall be yours. Secrets to birthing a universe and unfolding the Three Thousand Great Dao lie sealed inside!"
Amid waves of envy and jealousy from the onlookers, the blue-robed female cultivator rose respectfully from the turtle and advanced to claim the Gate of Taixu handed over by the purple-robed Daoist.
"Teacher, grant me that method too!"
The initial purple-haired youth from the second row voiced his longing for the universe-creation technique as well.
Shaking his head, the purple-robed Daoist denied him: "Such a method demands pairing with the Gate of Taixu for true power. If you seek it, bide your time until she manifests the universe, then seek to borrow from her!"
With these words from the purple-robed Daoist echoing, the assembly's stares at the blue-robed female cultivator burned with heightened intensity.
... Once every disciple in the second row had posed their queries, the moment arrived for the one just ahead of Chen Mobai. She paused in uncertainty before inquiring, "Teacher, may I merge with the Dao?"
"Yes!"
A single utterance from the purple-robed Daoist, and instantly, all eyes shifted to the blue-robed female cultivator. Her two neighbors offered their congratulations.
"Senior Sister Wangji, remember us when you rise."
"Junior Sister, once you've merged with the Dao, share your enlightenments with us."
As Chen Mobai caught the names they used for the cultivator in front of him, sudden clarity washed over his features.
Truly, it was Wangji Daojun.
The closest companion to Dan Ding Taoist.
Who would have thought their bond stemmed from simply being desk mates, one behind the other.
By now, Chen Mobai fully grasped his role in this scene, embodying the lineage's Grandmaster, Dan Ding Taoist.
Before long, his chance in the third row arrived.
Without delay, Chen Mobai sent his question directly via sound transmission to the purple-robed Daoist.
After all, plenty in the hall opted for the same discreet method.
To prevent exposing his true self, he posed a fitting query aligned with Dan Ding Taoist's persona: "Teacher, I seek the path to advance the Pure Yang Scroll into the Pure Yang Realm!"
Chen Mobai recalled well that Dan Ding Taoist's practice of the Pure Yang Scroll had only climbed to the Merging Dao Realm.
Given its origins from Purple Sky Daoist Venerable, an eternal being of ninth rank transcendence, the technique surely transcended Merging Dao.
Chen Mobai had first planned to boldly demand the steps for elevating the Pure Yang Scroll to Ninth Rank Creation!
Yet the red-haired youth from the second row had just established a boundary; Ninth Rank Creation demanded fusion with the Gate of Taixu for universe forging, a teaching the purple-robed Daoist withheld.
Therefore, he dialed back his ambition slightly.
Having sent the transmission, Chen Mobai noticed the purple-robed Daoist offering no swift reply, instead lapsing into an unnatural quiet.
The hall's occupants sensed the oddity too.
For the purple-robed Daoist had dispatched answers to all others with haste, as if eager to conclude the session.
But for Dan Ding Taoist, a delay gripped him.
In that instant, Chen Mobai detected trouble brewing.
He swiftly surmised his query might clash with what the real Dan Ding Taoist would have asked, trapping the eternal Purple Sky Daoist Venerable in a bind.
As beads of sweat formed on his brow and he scrambled for a way to justify it, the Daoist's voice resonated in his mind: "Yes!"
That single affirmation let Chen Mobai exhale in deep relief.
Immediately, a streak of golden radiance shot from the purple-robed Daoist's fingertip, pressing against his forehead.
Segments of the Pure Yang Scroll's cultivation method, spanning from Merging Dao to Pure Yang, flooded into Chen Mobai's consciousness.
Witnessing this, Chen Mobai concluded that Purple Sky Daoist Venerable undoubtedly recognized who he was.
Elsewise, why transmit only this portion? Evidently, all prior to Merging Dao lay already within his grasp.
"Thank you, Teacher!"
With the transmission complete, Chen Mobai offered genuine gratitude, cupping his hands and deeply bowing from his prayer mat toward the purple-robed Daoist.
Suddenly, the surrounding scene dissolved into swirling mists once more, slowly dissolving from view.
As Chen Mobai lifted his gaze, the blue-robed female cultivator ahead pivoted to face him; yet she, alongside every entity nearby, had morphed into dissipating fog and slipped from sight.
Nevertheless, her image etched firmly in Chen Mobai's memory.
Wangji Daojun, founder of the White Crane Dao Arena!
Likewise, Dan Ding Taoist's steadfast ally.
Should an opportunity arise later, he resolved to attempt her salvation, as Ancestor Yun Ya's records revealed Wangji Daojun's suppression by the Demon Lord's incarnation amid the Demon Lord's calamity.
Bound as she was to the Great Dao itself, Wangji Daojun ought to endure still.
Chen Mobai believed that inheriting such a profound boon from Dan Ding Taoist obligated him to shoulder his karmic debts.
Moreover, as a Dao Venerable's disciple now, he stood firmly against the Demon Lord.
Amid his swirling reflections, the mists cleared away, returning him to the confines of the Yuping Small Realm.
Rising to his feet, Chen Mobai honored the Azure Bird, which dwindled to a fleeting gleam before reintegrating into the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree.
"Grandmaster possesses the Three Azure Bird Dharma Aspect, yet only two have manifested thus far..."
In that moment, Chen Mobai eyed the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree with a spark of avarice.
As if attuned to his inner desires, the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree gleamed with intensified jade radiance, summoning a third, even grander Azure Bird.
Elation surged through Chen Mobai, who promptly unleashed his Primordial Spirit to draw near.
Brimming with eager hope, his Primordial Spirit made contact with the third Azure Bird!
Instantly, his Divine Sense drained at an alarming rate, while his Primordial Spirit wavered and dimmed.
Terror blanched Chen Mobai's face; he hastily withdrew his Primordial Spirit from the third Azure Bird.
Following a resounding Phoenix cry, the third Azure Bird wheeled around him twice before soaring back to fuse once more with the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree.
After steadying his Primordial Spirit via the Pure Yang Great Dao Power, Chen Mobai comprehended the reason.
This indicated his base was too frail, sufficient merely for the inheritance of two Azure Birds.
Even the supreme prodigy from Immortal Gate across all eras fell short!
He must claim supremacy across the entire universe!
