I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2490 - 1113: No Going Back to the Past
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
"Thank you for your hard work, Saintess Yuan."
Within Northern Abyss City, a smile lit up Chen Mobai's face as he accepted the Green Mirage Bottle from Yuan Zhen, then handed over the depleted Northern Profound Risk Cauldron.
Throughout the years, he had persisted in refining Immortal Spirit Qi to bolster his Thousand Swords Dharma Body, fully securing it at the Rank-5 stage.
"It’s only natural."
A bright smile bloomed on Yuan Zhen's lips as she smoothly retrieved the prepared Enlightenment Tea from the table, having tucked the Northern Profound Risk Cauldron away in her Storage Bag.
"During my time in the Dongling Domain, I encountered Elders Dustless and Da Kong, where we talked about uniting against the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court..."
Chen Mobai mentioned the Primordial Water Control Banner while enjoying his tea.
Yuan Zhen's face grew solemn after she heard this.
She nursed a profound grudge against the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, yet the Nine Heavens Morality Sect lacked the power to confront such a foe right now.
That said, with support from the Five Elements Sect, Dao Morale Sect, and Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, victory seemed within reach.
Everything hinged on the Sea Suppressing Bead.
"I’ll head back and consult with Senior Brother Sect Master and Elder Ni about this."
Yuan Zhen gave a nod, promising to relay the intelligence.
Although the Nine Heavens Morality Sect now boasted a fresh Divinity Transformation cultivator, its might remained far from the peak of Yuan Qingque's era; launching a conflict with a power like the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court carried enormous risks. Moreover, absent the Primordial Water Control Banner, clashes would stay limited to small-scale battles.
Once Gu Yan had seen Yuan Zhen off, Chen Mobai gathered the Immortal Spirit Qi required for his practice, placed the Green Mirage Bottle in the Eastern Wilderness, and made his way back to the Immortal Gate.
"Headmaster, fresh reports from the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains indicate Zhongli Tianyu has triumphed in Nascent Soul Formation."
In the office, Zhuang Jialan delivered the hottest update from the Immortal Gate to Chen Mobai.
Given Yuan Xu’s prowess, producing a round of Infant-Transforming Elixir proved a simple task.
Since the elixir distribution was set in advance, Chen Mobai along with the other Divinity Transformation cultivators stayed out of it, allowing Zhongli Tianyu and his peers to handle it as they saw fit.
Chen Mobai felt no shock at Zhongli Tianyu’s breakthrough—absent his own presence, Zhongli Tianyu would undoubtedly have led his peers.
With that thought, he pulled out his phone and fired off a message of congratulations to Zhongli Tianyu.
Silence met his effort—it appeared the man was busy consolidating his new realm.
Setting his phone aside, Chen Mobai turned to Zhuang Jialan with a query about the pair from their Daoist Academy: "And what of them?"
This round of Infant-Transforming Elixir yielded eight doses, including spots for Deng Daoyun and Wang Xin Fu of Dance Tool Dao Academy. Unlike Zhongli Tianyu, who already trained under Qi Yuheng, Chen Mobai held greater worry for his own allies.
Prior to securing the elixir, Chen Mobai had supplied each with a Supreme Grade Spirit Stone, a full measure of Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, and Pure Yang Purple Qi, while offering personal instruction over a period.
"Director Deng remains immersed in the Treasure Trove, gathering Sixth Rank fire spiritual power; she’s on the verge of finishing. Councilor Wang, though, halted his spiritual energy intake not long ago—chances are he didn’t succeed."
Zhuang Jialan inclined her head, relaying what she knew.
Upon absorbing this, Chen Mobai gave a subtle nod, then deployed his Divine Sense to monitor the Crimson Mountain Spirit Vein’s flow, determining that Deng Daoyun had indeed forged her Nascent Soul and was now integrating it with her Divine Sense.
Reaching this stage marked her as a true Nascent Soul cultivator.
This realization brought a grin to Chen Mobai’s features.
Thanks to his and Cheng Xuan’s Divinity Transformation breakthroughs, Dance Tool Dao Academy clung to its status as the Immortal Gate’s premier university.
Yet, when it came to Nascent Soul cultivator counts, it lagged behind its lofty standing.
While Immortal Gate leaders recognized Jiang Xuanzhu and Yan Qiongzhi as sect affiliates, and Yu Yi had grown closer to the Weapon Dancing Sect lately, none had been directly nurtured by Dance Tool Dao Academy itself.
As a result, during online arguments, Dance Tool Dao Academy pupils frequently ended up defeated.
Part of this stemmed from Chen Mobai’s blistering pace; spending just a century in Nascent Soul before ascending to Divinity Transformation had created a gap in Dance Tool Dao Academy’s Nascent Soul ranks.
Deng Daoyun’s Nascent Soul success now armed Dance Tool students with fresh ammunition for their online skirmishes.
"Pass my best to Wang Xin Fu; this setback isn’t the end, just a lesson learned. He’s got youth on his side, and the Immortal Gate’s next batch of Nascent Soul Formation aids will open up for another try."
Chen Mobai made sure to uplift the unsuccessful. Having stepped down as Orthodox Law Hall Master, Wang Xin Fu and Hua Zijing stood as vital pillars for the Weapon Dancing Sect in the Three Great Halls. Even in defeat, Wang remained shy of three centuries. Chen Mobai was confident that once conflicts paused, Immortal Gate supplies would abound once more.
By then, he could divert some cleansed resources from Tianhe Realm, guaranteeing Wang Xin Fu another shot at Nascent Soul Formation without issue.
"Understood, Headmaster."
Zhuang Jialan acknowledged with a nod, promptly moving to handle it.
Just then, Zhongli Tianyu called back, and as Chen Mobai picked up, the man’s voice rang out with admiration: "At last, I’m only one realm behind you once more!"
Chen Mobai responded: "That’s the wrong approach; don’t measure yourself against me. The more you do, the deeper the frustration sinks in. If you’re set on advancing, pick a fitting rival. Lan Haitian works well; his gifts match yours, and he formed Nascent Soul more than ten years ahead. Push yourself, and you could overtake him toward the end..."
