Chen Mobai rescues Ying Guanghua from his imprisonment under Lin Daoming, offering him a glimpse of hope for his weakened soul. Through their conversation, Chen Mobai unearths the full extent of the conspiracy involving the Ming Wang Star and the Three-Eyed Tribe. He also secures the ancient Purple Cloud Dao Scripture, an artifacts that could provide the key to unlocking the Path of Void for the Immortal Gate. However, the looming threat of the Ming Wang Star and its formidable undead forces poses a dire challenge that forces them to reconsider their strategy for survival.

The stairs and the Dao platform of the Purple Cloud Palace are filled with an intense, supreme Dao Rhythm. For those with sufficient enlightenment, stopping to meditate allows them to grasp the essence of the Great Dao aligned with their personal cultivation technique.

This insight was offered by the sages of the Immortal Gate who had previously visited the mysterious Purple Cloud Palace.

Individuals falling below the Divinity Transformation stage are barred from entering the Purple Cloud Palace; they cannot even draw near the entrance. Consequently, it is wiser for them to remain outside, where they can absorb the resonance of the Great Dao to deepen their understanding of their respective paths.

Nevertheless, even this task proves extremely taxing for Nascent Soul cultivators. Those with shallow foundations often find the pressure unbearable after only a brief period.

Fortunately, the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable acts with benevolence. Any cultivator unable to withstand the weight of the Dao Rhythm is promptly removed from the area.

Chen Mobai watched these individuals, mentally noting them as lacking the necessary potential for further improvement and deciding to exclude them from future resources reserved for those aiming for Divinity Transformation.

Although he viewed them as unfit for advanced nurturing, as the supreme leader of the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai still moved to assist them as they faltered. Before they could tumble off the final step, he utilized the Power of the Law Realm to safely transport them onto his Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo.

"We offer our deepest thanks for your intervention, True Monarch."

Ye Yune, Xiao Yuping, and Yuxiao immediately expressed their gratitude toward Chen Mobai.

"Do not waste this moment. Utilize your current insight into the Dao Rhythm. Sit down and enter meditation."

With a nod, Chen Mobai instructed the trio, ensuring they would not squander the rare chance provided by the Purple Cloud Palace. Even though their tenure was brief, they could still refine their understanding of their cultivation techniques.

It was only a slight shame that Xiao Yuping had attained a Legal Body Nascent Soul.

"Understood, True Monarch."

After reiterating their thanks, the three cultivators found a quiet peak within the Taixu Mountain Range to begin their meditation.

Soon after, Yan Qiongzhi, Zhongli Tianyu, Nangong Xuanyu, and Gongye Zhixu also proved unable to endure the pressure of the Dao Rhythm, eventually tumbling down from a Dao platform.

Chen Mobai observed a clear trend: those with deeper cultivation and more robust foundations could sustain their presence much longer.

Zhongli Tianyu and his companions possessed decent talent, but their current cultivation stage limited them, allowing them only a half-day of extra persistence.

"You should proceed as well, do not squander your time," Chen Mobai said to Lan Haitian. His companion nodded and descended to the very first step at the mountain's base.

At that moment, a flying artifact appeared in the distance. Zhongli Tianyu promptly set off to inform the intercepting Star Space Battleship to grant them passage.

"True Monarch, everyone has arrived."

Piloting the flying artifact was Deng Daoyun, who had gathered a selection of talented teachers and students from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.

The group consisted of both Core Formation and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Qian Xing’s reincarnated form was included in the group. He didn't hide his motives, simply wishing to provide the Weapon Dancing Sect members with this life-changing opportunity.

Beyond the Dance Tool Dao Academy, the other three Daoist Academies had also successfully applied for a chartered route.

Outside of the Academies, several scholarly mansions received similar opportunities. Three elite Golden Core cultivators from the Lingbao Study Palace joined the group from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.

This assembly represented nearly all the outstanding talents of the last two centuries of the Immortal Gate’s history. Even if they could only linger for a minute at the Purple Cloud Palace, it would remain the greatest milestone of their lives.

"You may proceed. Once the newcomers arrive, I will coordinate their descent accordingly," Chen Mobai told Deng Daoyun, who nodded enthusiastically, ushering the thirty individuals from the Dance Tool Dao Academy onto the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo.

With Zhuang Jialan on the scene, Chen Mobai did not need to offer direct guidance, though he kept a watchful eye on Qian Xing’s avatar. The avatar seemed uninterested, lurking in the shadows of the crowd while distracted by mobile games.

Among the gathered masses, Chen Mobai spotted Meng Huang, his beloved.

Her expression betrayed a mixture of nerve and excitement. The prestige of the Purple Cloud Palace was well-known among Golden Core cultivators. She had only qualified due to her Primordial Infant Dao Seed, but she was acutely aware that her eligibility heavily relied on Chen Mobai’s backing.

She feared that upon ascending, her mediocre natural talent would inevitably be laid bare.

[After you climb, mask your Spiritual Sense and refrain from examining the Dao Rhythm. Just endure as long as your strength permits. Once nearly ninety percent of the other Golden Core cultivators descend, simply follow them down.]

Chen Mobai’s voice suddenly echoed in Meng Huang’s ear, offering her immense comfort.

Refusing to actively contemplate the Dao while on the steps and platforms of the Purple Cloud Palace meant missing out on benefits, but it also extended one's ability to stay.

To Meng Huang, the Purple Cloud Palace represented an unreachable elite level. She realized that any future progress to Nascent Soul would require Chen Mobai’s aid, so she nodded repeatedly, pledging to adhere to his strategy.

The two exchanged a brief glance, communicating their intent in silence.

Half a day passed before the flying ship from the Kunpeng Daoist Institute arrived, guided by Dean Nan Dou True Person. Upon landing, he considerately gathered his students near the Weapon Dancing Sect group before approaching Chen Mobai to pay his respects.

Since Yan Bingxuan was among his group, Chen Mobai made an effort to engage in a longer conversation with Nan Dou.

[Once you begin your ascent, focus on the staircases detailing the Ice Great Dao if you encounter them. Monitor your Divine Sense; when fatigue reaches the halfway point, slow your contemplation. Endurance is key here, as it will make your future Nascent Soul Formation resource allocation much easier to handle.] While keeping his outward focus on Nan Dou, Chen Mobai was internally directing his mental message to Yan Bingxuan.
