I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2550 - 1153: Arrival of the Purple Cloud Palace
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Qi Yuheng spoke with a grave expression. Among the gathered Deity Transformation True Monarchs, he was the only one besides Chen Mobai capable of standing against Lin Daoming.
It was evident that Qi Yuheng wanted Chen Mobai, the leader of the Immortal Sect and a future contender for the Void Refining Realm, to be the first to enter the Purple Cloud Palace, banking on him gaining the greatest share of the rewards.
"My cultivation path is already set, and I hold no uncertainty regarding my advancement to the Void Refining Realm. The Purple Cloud Palace holds little significance for me. You should all proceed inside first; do not trouble yourselves over Lin Daoming."
Chen Mobai simply shook his head, signaling to Qi Yuheng that such measures were unnecessary.
Those nearby listened to his words with profound respect.
To have reached the Deity Transformation stage only twenty years ago and already perceive the way to Void Refining? Such talent is truly a historical anomaly.
Yet, a few still harbored quiet doubts.
History has shown that the Void Refining Realm has claimed far too many ancient prodigies of the Immortal Sect. Even luminaries like Zhong Li and Yuan Yang faltered at its very gate. While they believed in Chen Mobai's eventual success, there was a sense that his current level of cultivation was still insufficient.
"Greetings to the esteemed True Monarchs!"
As time ticked onward, Nascent Soul Cultivators from across the Immortal Sect arrived via teleportation, immediately offering their salutes to Chen Mobai and the other Deity Transformation masters upon arrival.
From the depths of space, the ancient Purple Cloud Palace drifted closer, borne upon a sea of starlight.
Chen Mobai and the other disciples projected their divine senses outward, attempting to probe the secrets of the mysterious palace, only to find their efforts swallowed by the void.
It seemed detached from time and space, lingering in another dimension while reflecting the splendor of the Star River as it inexorably advanced toward the Earth Element Star.
As the palace loomed closer, the Immortal Sect’s formidable Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation began to exhibit strange fluctuations, as if it were being wrestled away by a superior force.
Yunhai’s face paled as he clutched the core Heavenly Calculation Bead of the Sky Curtain Ground Network; he realized every sector of the formation and the entire Earth Element Star’s Spirit Vein hub had slipped beyond his control.
While this event had been documented in historical records of the Purple Cloud Palace’s past appearances, experiencing it firsthand was a heavy blow to Yunhai.
He had spent years perfecting this new Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, believing it stood head and shoulders above all previous iterations constructed by sect giants like Zhong Li and Qian Xing. It was widely regarded as the ultimate Sixth Rank Great Array.
And yet, meeting the Purple Cloud Palace, the formation had surrendered before the structure had even touched the planet.
"Let me examine it!"
Chen Mobai observed the unfolding situation and spoke to the mortified Yunhai, who handed over the Rank-5 Heavenly Calculation Bead without hesitation.
Although Yunhai was a specialized Formation Deity Transformation cultivator, it was common knowledge within the Immortal Sect that Chen Mobai’s expertise in this field was superior.
The moment the Heavenly Calculation Bead touched his palm, Chen Mobai tapped into his Heavenly Blessing and Response Earth Spirit, swiftly uncovering the hidden reality.
The root of the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation was the Seventh Rank Celestial Stars Earth Luo Star Formation.
This formation manifested the Star Path among the Three Thousand Great Daos, one of the primary pathways that Qian Xing had sought to master.
Since the dawn of the universe, the Purple Cloud Palace had been imbued with the essence of the Star Path. Thus, when it met the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, the interaction was akin to a torrential storm claiming a mere raindrop; the smaller formation could do nothing but submit and function according to the palace’s influence.
Chen Mobai flicked a finger toward the Heavenly Calculation Bead, triggering the innermost seal contained within the artifact.
In an instant, 108 pillars of starlight erupted across the Earth Element Star, rising like celestial beacons from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands.
Simultaneously, the starlight swirling around the Purple Cloud Palace ignited, weaving together with the beams ascending from the planet below.
The awe-struck onlookers were confused, save for Yunhai, who stared on with wide, excited eyes as if he finally grasped the truth.
Soon, the starlight surrounding the Purple Cloud Palace synchronized perfectly with the light pillars upon the Earth Element Star. Brilliance from the Purple Cloud cascaded down like meteors, striking the mountains, rivers, and oceans of the planet.
"Take note of these coordinates and dispatch teams to mark them. In time, if we wish to evolve our Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation into the Celestial Stars Earth Luo Star Formation, we can plant 252 additional Immortal Cities at these sites to finalize the Cycle of Celestial..."
Having perceived the underlying logic through his Heavenly Blessing and Response Earth Spirit, Chen Mobai easily decoded the Celestial Stars Earth Luo using the Law of the Five Tones derived from the Palace’s starlight.
Naturally, the seal left by Qian Xing inside the Heavenly Calculation Bead had provided a crucial head start.
Qian Xing’s grasp of the Star Path had been nearly complete, and Chen Mobai had essentially used that foundation to compare against the Dao traces left by the Purple Cloud Palace—a form of intellectual 'cheating.'
The other members of the Immortal Sect watched in stunned, wide-eyed disbelief.
They had long recognized that Chen Mobai’s innate talent and perception were without peer in the history of the sect.
However, that he had managed to decipher the Celestial Stars Earth Luo Star Formation through mere comparison, even before the palace had fully arrived, left them utterly speechless.
Is such comprehension even possible for a human?
"Pure Yang, standing here next to you, I feel as though my entire previous existence has been a waste..."
Qi Yuheng felt a wave of despondency, realizing that with someone like Chen Mobai present, the sect would function exactly as it did regardless of their own presence.
