I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2553 - 1154: Power of River of Death
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Subsequent to the demise of Lin Daoming, Chen Mobai sensed the Apocalypse Great Mill within his Purple Mansion consciousness begin to rotate, emitting the familiar aura of the End. However, given his present circumstances, the End of Destiny Great Dao remained merely a reflection in a pool or a phantom in the haze. Thus, he swiftly redirected his focus toward the Purple Cloud Palace, which was approaching from the horizon, illuminated by starlight.
"How much time remains?" Chen Mobai inquired. Mei Hua immediately calculated the stellar movements, determining that one hour and forty-six minutes were left.
"That is just about right." Upon receiving this confirmation, Chen Mobai nodded and whispered these words.
Qi Yuheng asked curiously, "Junior brother, what do you mean by just about right?" He had been contemplating how to maneuver the conversation toward the Law Domain to probe Chen Mobai about his refinement process, never expecting Chen Mobai to steer the topic back himself.
"The timing is perfect. Before the Purple Cloud Palace arrives, I shall enter the Law Domain to execute the King of the Underworld. I am leaving this region in your care for now." With that declaration, Chen Mobai dissolved into a streak of silver radiance and vanished.
Almost immediately, intense turbulence erupted in the void, signaling that an immense power was colliding with the Law Domain.
Every cultivator present was a disciple of the Immortal Sect who possessed a Domain, all having once nurtured the ambition to elevate their skills into a true Law Domain and become the sovereign of a realm. Yet, this achievement was even more formidable than reaching the Divinity Transformation stage within the Immortal Sect. While Divinity Transformation was a known milestone, a Law Domain had yet to materialize in history.
"If a talent like Pure Yang had joined our Kunpeng Daoist Institute, it would have been marvelous. Perhaps he might have perfected the Six Imperial Scripture and refined a Law Domain decades ago!" Qi Yuheng remarked with a sigh, which Yunhai promptly addressed.
"Indeed. The Pure Yang Scroll is simple to grasp but grueling to master, particularly the Pure Yang Daoist Body, which demands an immense investment of time. Had Pure Yang True Monarch achieved transformation sooner, he could have stood alongside ancestors Qian Xing and Bai Guang to face the Death God’s Tribulation together..."
Cheng Xuan began to feel a surge of pride, only to realize the barbed sentiment in Yunhai’s comment. "Are you criticizing my Dance Tool Dao Academy with your words?"
"Not in the slightest; that was purely academic," Yunhai replied with a faint smile, even though his tone remained sharp.
Qing Ping then spoke up: "In my assessment, he would have fared better at our Repairing Heaven Institute. With Pure Yang's natural aptitude, he would have distinguished himself rapidly, catching the eye of Ancestor Qian Xing, who surely would have taken him on as a direct apprentice. Guided by the most gifted figure in the Immortal Sect, his cultivation would have accelerated, preventing any squandering of his rare talent. He would have been instructed in the Patching Heaven Seal, and with his unique insight, he might have been the first of our lineage to fully assimilate the hidden Dao Rhythm within that seal..." Since the Pure Yang Dao was intrinsic to the Patching Heaven lineage, they could certainly have vied with the Dance Tool Dao Academy back then. He began to wonder which official was in charge of recruitment at the Danxia Pavilion, deciding that a thorough investigation into their incompetence was warranted. As Qing Ping pondered this, Lou Fengcheng, back at the Repairing Heaven Institute, was suddenly seized by a sneeze.
Hearing these claims, Cheng Xuan felt his anger flare, yet he had no counterargument; they were stating plain facts—Chen Mobai’s potential had indeed been buried at the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Had he enrolled at Repairing Heaven or Kunpeng, his journey toward the Nascent Soul stage would have been far more efficient, rather than stalling in the backwaters of the Danxia Pavilion and relying solely on brute talent to overcome barriers.
Nevertheless, being a veteran of centuries, Cheng Xuan invoked a higher authority to deflect: "What do you know of his path? Even before Pure Yang stepped into our academy, he was already select among the disciples of the White Light Ancestor. Even Ancestor Qian Xing would not dare to challenge the desires of White Light Ancestor..."
Upon hearing this, the others shifted their expressions, finally realizing the truth of the situation. The reincarnated vessel of White Light was situated in Yu Wood City, adjacent to Red Sandstone City. While records stated their inaugural meeting occurred on a transport ship to university, it was logical to assume the White Light Ancestor had identified Chen Mobai long before.
The Immortal Sect’s Divinity Transformation cultivators understood the process of Reduction and Emptiness developed by Qian Xing and Bai Guang from the Purple Cloud Palace. This provided the means for the White Light Ancestor to attain the Void and imprint her essence upon her reincarnated body. To succeed in this ritual, she required a mortal life—marriage and offspring—and only someone of extraordinary caliber would have captured her interest. It was probable that after her reincarnation in Yu Wood City, she had scoured the area for exceptional young men.
Evidently, even though Pure Yang True Monarch showed little ambition in his youth, neglecting his studies and cultivation, his latent genius remained visible to the White Light Ancestor. This likely explains why Yu Tianguang, a stranger to Chen Mobai, recommended him to the Dance Tool Dao Academy despite his failing marks in cultural exams. Realizing this, even if these other academies had foreseen Chen Mobai’s future, they never stood a chance against the Dance Tool Dao Academy. The White Light Ancestor could be quite stubborn in her preferences, and her choices were held in high regard by both Qian Xing and the Spiritual Venerable.
"Let us end this conversation, lest Pure Yang takes offense upon his return." As the discussion drifted toward White Light, Qi Yuheng cleared his throat, effectively silencing the rest of the Immortal Sect’s Divinity Transformation cultivators. Pure Yang and White Light, as a pair, were undeniably the most brilliant luminaries of the Immortal Sect.
