I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2494 - 1115: Back Mountain Gate Guard_2

Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Yu Tianguang emerges from prison seeking a peaceful life, restricted from Red Sandstone City and teaching, but relieved to breathe freely again. At Dance Tool Dao Academy, he reunites with Cheng Xuan and learns of the profound changes, including Chen Mobai's ascension to Deity Transformation True Monarch. Discussing his future, Yu prefers solitude to avoid scrutiny, leading Chen Mobai to propose he join Qian Xing in guarding the secluded back mountain gate, allowing them to alternate shifts for much-needed respite.

Furthermore, the reincarnated form of Qian Xing had independently mastered the Devour God Technique, and when they collaborated, Chen Mobai sensed they complemented each other flawlessly.

"Xiao Yu, would you like to take on the role of gatekeeper?"

Cheng Xuan, after receiving Chen Mobai’s sound-transmitted details, gave a nod before inquiring of Yu Tianguang, who pondered briefly and realized this position truly fit him best, thus agreeing with a nod.

Following that, the pair of Deity Transformation True Monarchs from the Dance Tool Dao Academy escorted Yu Tianguang to view his new assignment site.

"Principal, former principal, what brings you here today?"

As they descended from the air, Qian Xing’s reincarnated self, lounging on a recliner while fiddling with his phone, spotted them right away, hit pause without delay, and questioned them with evident curiosity.

"Didn’t you mention, A Xing, that handling duty solo from dawn to dusk is exhausting? So, we’ve brought in fresh help for you."

Chen Mobai grinned as he chatted with the young fellow in front of him, while Cheng Xuan displayed a warm demeanor, now and then chiming in to check on the young man’s well-being and his contentment with the lodging and perks provided.

"Excellent, at last someone’s here. Let’s set this straight; since I’ve been around longer, I’m absolutely claiming the team leader spot."

Known as Chen Xingxing in his reincarnated life, Qian Xing’s body had grown rather direct and casual from years of heavy internet use. Spotting Yu Tianguang’s aged appearance, he promptly staked his claim to lead the team.

"Naturally, as the veteran staff member with plenty of know-how. Xiao Yu is just starting out and may need time to adjust to everything, so we’ll rely on you to show him the ropes more often."

Positioned to the right of Chen Xingxing, Cheng Xuan smiled and nodded, gesturing toward Yu Tianguang.

Chen Mobai wore an equally gentle look.

This left Yu Tianguang thoroughly intrigued.

He figured Chen Xingxing might possess Deification potential or a powerful lineage; yet regardless of how impressive, could it outshine actual Deification?

So why did these two Deity Transformations from the Dance Tool Dao Academy act so overly courteous?

"Xiao Yu, get to know A Xing well, and begin your duties tomorrow."

Cheng Xuan instructed Yu Tianguang, who responded with a nod and proactively shared his introduction with Chen Xingxing.

"Oh, and what’s your contact number? I’ll add you on my friends list right away."

Chen Xingxing agreed with a nod, grabbed his phone, and inquired.

Yu Tianguang stood frozen; having freshly exited prison, he hadn’t yet acquired a cellphone.

"We rushed here; Xiao Yu likely forgot his phone back at the interview room. A Xing, share your number first, and we’ll have Xiao Yu connect once we return."

Cheng Xuan swiftly devised a cover story, and Chen Xingxing accepted it without question, rattling off a sequence of digits casually before fixing his gaze on them intently.

Chen Mobai caught on instantly, aware that the youth yearned to resume gaming and they were obstructing him, so he hurriedly led Cheng Xuan and Yu Tianguang away.

En route, Cheng Xuan departed ahead to the core depths of the Treasure Trove. Years prior, Deng Daoyun had forged a Dao Fruit from the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree and was now set to upgrade his Lifespan Artifact; Cheng Xuan focused on offering guidance, aiming for Deng Daoyun’s Lifespan Artifact to achieve a Rank-5 base.

Back at the office with Yu Tianguang, Chen Mobai enlisted Zhuang Jialan to obtain a brand-new phone, while he invoked his Azure Bird Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect to channel the Pure Yang Great Tao, bathing Yu Tianguang entirely and aiding him in solidifying his Realm.

Witnessing this display stirred Yu Tianguang with awe at the Deity Transformation True Monarch’s immense might, deepening his reverence.

"Your Lifespan Artifact remains sealed in the Department of Law Enforcement’s storage; I’ve dispatched someone to fetch it, arriving shortly. Bond properly with A Xing; he possesses remarkable talent and could potentially uphold the academy in my stead."

Chen Mobai avoided revealing Qian Xing’s true nature, opting for a subtle approach.

"Ah, that explains it..."

Yu Tianguang absorbed the words and felt a sudden clarity, convinced of his Deification aptitude.

Thrilled beyond measure, he envisioned the academy gaining its third Deity Transformation True Monarch and anticipated it eagerly.

"Here are some Spirit Stones; despite your century-long setback, when Shen Yu Xuan Lord possessed your form to amplify her strength, they broadened your Dantian Qi Sea to the flawless Core Formation stage. With the seal lifted and the Pure Yang Great Tao applied for stability, simply draw in Spiritual Energy to swiftly elevate your Spiritual Power toward the Golden Core Ninth Layer."

While explaining, Chen Mobai passed Yu Tianguang a prepared container of Superior Grade Spirit Stones; still viewing the Immortal Gate’s treasures through his pre-incarceration lens of scarcity, Yu Tianguang kept declining them upon sight.

"Accept them; their worth isn’t a concern. Now as a Deity Transformation myself, such items hold little importance to me."

Chen Mobai placed them straight into Yu Tianguang’s hands, who then awkwardly tucked them away in his Domain.

"The rear mountain offers serenity and little disturbance; focus on your cultivation, and should you progress enough, I’ll explore arranging a Nascent Soul Formation chance for you."

Chen Mobai noted this, observing that despite Yu Tianguang’s elderly look, he was merely three hundred thirty years of age.

Merely sixty-four years post-graduation from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he had attained Core Formation successfully, which sparked Cheng Xuan’s early high expectations.

Subsequently, he lingered in Red Sandstone City for more than a hundred years before a century in confinement, so at his current age, Nascent Soul Formation remained feasible.

Hearing this, Yu Tianguang’s excitement surged further, offering thanks profusely.

Just then, Zhuang Jialan arrived bearing the new cellphone.

Chen Mobai directed her to guide Yu Tianguang in gathering his gatekeeper uniform and settling his living quarters, among other matters.

As Yu Tianguang departed, Chen Mobai sensed a subtle relief washing over his heart and spirit. Though his Realm stayed unchanged, he perceived a faint advance toward the Great Tao.

The link between him and Yu Tianguang originated when he was eighteen, resolving after a bit more than a century.

This insight revealed to Chen Mobai why Qian Xing and Bai Guang, post-Deification, secluded themselves at Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, emerging only for major occurrences.

Connections like these could be settled if possible, yet many evolved into intractable knots.

Take Bai Guang’s parental remorse, for instance, which linked to Shi Wanyu via the Method of Reduction and Emptiness, scarcely untangled.

Yet for Chen Mobai, sparser connections suited him better, and should any persist unsolvable, he faced them undaunted.

After all, the Yi Yuan Dao Palace legacy encompassed methods to pass connections to disciples.

Naturally, Chen Mobai planned to split his connections twofold: one portion via the Fruit of Dao’s Rule to Jiang Zongheng, the other to Zhuo Ming, given their exceptional talent and Deification promise, capable of shouldering such duties.

Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan, conversely, pursued direct cultivation paths, free from such weighty loads.

This thought prompted Chen Mobai to recall he hadn’t yet sought two tree hearts from the Great Chun Divine Tree for Wood Spiritual Talismans, so he reached for his phone, intending to contact Wenren Xuewei.

But shortly, he remembered cutting her call short the previous night.

The Peach Blossom Sage sought discussion.

Coincidentally, he was bound for Jumang Academy; they could converse there.

Chen Mobai shared strong ties with the Jumang Lineage, and his grasp of the Pure Yang Great Tao owed much to the Rank-5 Water of Ten Thousand Transformations nurturing the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple, leaving him indebted to the Peach Blossom Sage for a hearing.

With flashes of silver light, Chen Mobai had teleported to the Great Chun Divine Tree’s site.

Moments later, Wenren Xuewei, alerted by him, activated Void Teleportation through the local Immortal Gate.

Leveraging her connection, she accessed the consciousness realm inside the Great Chun Spirit, where Chen Mobai addressed the emerald-eyed girl regarding her Transformation issue.

"After the Immortal Gate endures the forthcoming opening war catastrophe, once I Cultivate Void, I’ll dismantle the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, granting the senior her release."

Though not the ideal resolution, it surpassed the former eternal confinement, at least offering a glimpse of liberty, so the emerald-eyed girl stood, bowing lightly to Chen Mobai in thanks.

"Then I eagerly await the True Monarch’s Void Cultivation."
