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

Achieving the "Three Thousand Great Dao" leads straight to the "Mahayana."

Chen Mobai felt this discovery was almost unbelievable, since this section of knowledge should have belonged solely to his senior sister, in theory.

Yet here it was, inscribed in the Heavenly Book on the distant Earth Element Star out in the cosmos.

Was it possible that after Master Zi Xiao departed, his senior sister had shared this portion under duress from fellow students?

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

A sense of relief washed over him then, assuring him that the Purple Cloud Lineage's hidden doctrines remained secure across the stars.

Yet shortly after, a pang of regret flooded his mind.

During his lessons at the Purple Cloud Palace, this knowledge had eluded him. Obtaining it through the Mahayana Book would have solidified his role as Zi Xiao's true inheritor.

In the days ahead, Chen Mobai returned the other Six Great Heavenly Books to their places, resealed them securely, and immersed himself in the Mahayana Book for deeper understanding. However, limited by his current cultivation or the absence of a Law Domain, his gains stopped at those first profound realizations.

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

Chen Mobai stowed the Mahayana Book away, reinstated the earlier seals, and then picked up the birdcage from the ground floor to seek out Yu Yi.

Grasping 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.

Since he planned to keep Qing Nu in the dark about Kong Feichen's circumstances, a secluded spot inside the Immortal Gate was essential for housing it.

Chen Mobai first considered handing it over to Zhuang Jialan, but realizing her existing responsibilities were heavy enough, he chose not to burden her further.

After pondering, 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.

United as a trio, it felt destined.

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

"Ah Xing, I came across this odd bird while practicing this morning. You and the other must get lonely on your watches, so I figured it could keep you entertained."

Chen Mobai addressed Qian Xing's reincarnated form on duty that day, setting the birdcage by the guardroom's window ledge.

"Fine by me, though I won't handle feeding it. I can barely keep myself fed daily. If the bird wastes away, that's on you, not me."

Chen Xingxing eyed the birdcage briefly, noting the listless bird inside, then ignored it. His hidden fingers kept swiping across his phone, guiding his avatar through challenging stages.

"That's alright, my main reason for visiting was you anyway. I'll sort out the feeding with Old Yu."

Chen Mobai replied warmly, and to not interrupt Qian Xing's gameplay, he quickly said his goodbyes.

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 bird from the True Monarch would thrive under his care.

With that settled, Chen Mobai prepared to journey to the Eastern Wilderness and deliver the two Wood Spiritual Talismans, only to be hit with distressing news.

Yu Huiping had reached the close of her days.

Hearing the daughter's sobs over the call, Chen Mobai let out a heavy sigh and rushed toward Wangwu Cave Heaven.

When he got there, numerous members of the Weapon Dancing Sect had already gathered. 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 was Bai Guang's spouse, making Yu Huiping essentially his disciple too, under the Pure Yang True Monarch.

Chen Mobai went to the bedside, where Chen Xiaohei clutched Yu Huiping's wrinkled hand, tears flowing freely.

"True Monarch, you've arrived."

Hua Zijing was there as well. She welcomed Chen Mobai as he entered and then moved outside to watch the entrance.

"True Monarch, my life felt complete the moment Master departed. Watching you reach Divinity Transformation and Xiao Hei mature has been a bonus joy I never dreamed of..."

Facing her final moments, Yu Huiping smiled serenely.

The second part of her existence left her with no regrets.

Raising Xiao Hei, in particular, had met her deepest hopes as a senior.

Once, her fondest recollection was discipleship under Bai Guang, but now it was the joyful, vibrant Xiao Hei she cherished most.

Even as her life ebbed away, with Chen Xiaohei in the world, her legacy endured.

Her presence lived on through these loved ones as her eyes finally shut.

"Any final messages? I may cross paths with her someday."

Chen Mobai inquired softly.

Yu Huiping instantly knew the "her" Chen Mobai meant.

"Please convey to Master how blissful our mountain days were together, despite her youthful follies requiring my guidance—I always saw her as my own mother..."

Chen Mobai's question stirred Yu Huiping's recollections. As she recounted, her eyes grew distant, visions of countless seasons with Bai Guang unfolding, a gentle smile curving her lips.

"Child, there's a truth I've kept from you. Your mother holds another role..."

Noting Yu Huiping's fading vitality and limited time, Chen Mobai surmised her wish to inform Xiao Hei of her mother's identity as Bai Guang. He chose to unveil the truth without delay.

"You mean, Mother was the reincarnation of the White Light Ancestor..."

As anticipated, Chen Xiaohei reacted with stunned surprise, whispering in astonishment. But recalling how Yu Huiping had brought her to Wangxian Peak during Nine Yin Meridian crises, where even mighty figures like the Three Extremes Sage acted swiftly and secured a Rank-5 Lingxiao Jade Pendant from Taiyuan Academy with ease, realization dawned on her features.

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

It all stemmed from her mother being Bai Guang.

"Why keep it hidden so long!"

Once it clicked, Chen Xiaohei cried out sharply.

"Xiao Hei, please don't resent Master for chasing greater realms and leaving you and your father behind..."

Witnessing Xiao Hei's turmoil, Yu Huiping, barely holding on, summoned her remaining energy to squeeze her hand, begging forgiveness for her master.

In truth, Bai Guang's exit could be viewed as forsaking her family, a fault no matter the angle.

"I feared it would overwhelm you, but she truly cherishes you..."

Chen Mobai also defended Bai Guang, noting how before departing, she entrusted him with the Matriarch's Fire Origin Inner Core and bequeathed the Mystic Finger Sword to their daughter. Her exit from the Immortal Gate came from having no further path here.

Rather than perishing stagnant within the Immortal Gate's bounds, Chen Mobai favored her bold pursuit.

And thanks to that choice, she pioneered as the Immortal Gate's first cultivator to harness the void.

"Grandmother, I hold no grudge; I'm merely reeling that Mother lives on..."

Observing Yu Huiping's labored, staring breaths, Chen Xiaohei seized her hand, offering solace.

At those words, Yu Huiping released a profound sigh, her form going fully limp.

"Xiao Hei, if you encounter Master, I wish for you to address her as Mom—that's Grandmother's final desire."

Chen Xiaohei nodded vigorously, dreading Yu Huiping might leave unrested.

"Grandmaster, this mother and daughter pair share kindred spirits; both carry a touch of innocence and youthfulness. If your trio reunites, I ask that you..."

Yu Huiping's last utterance faded as her vigor ebbed, her stare glazing over.

Yet Chen Mobai grasped her meaning clearly.

"Fear not, I'll take charge as the family's leader!"

Hearing his pledge, Yu Huiping inclined her head, content at last as she drew her final breath.
