I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2599 - 1184: The True Face of the Portal (Part 2)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Qi Yuheng and his companions also grasped this truth. After hearing the details, they nodded with grave seriousness.
Right after, Chen Mobai unleashed the Law Domain, devouring the vibrant energy orbs hovering in the starry expanse one by one. At the same time, he guided the Portal to draw in and purify the Power of Void filling this region.
Yet during this effort, Chen Mobai spotted an unfamiliar void coordinate via the Portal.
This coordinate's location matched exactly where the Death Vortex had vanished.
Chen Mobai faintly suspected it could be the fierce battlefield where the Death God and Bai Guang now battled.
He tried to employ the Portal to pinpoint this spot and teleport there, but it replied that transmission was impossible.
[The current coordinate is shrouded by a higher-level Great Dao, authorization from the other side is needed for transmission to be possible.]
Hearing the Portal's response, Chen Mobai sank into deep thought.
This Sixth Rank Magic Artifact from the Five Ancestors of Xianmen, transported from the Central Dojo, forms part of the Gate of Taixu and thus has no Artifact Spirit. It follows strict rules for every operation.
If the Portal declares entry impossible, then it truly cannot be done.
Still, he possessed Turtle Treasure.
With that in mind, Chen Mobai instructed Qi Yuheng and the fellow Immortal Sect Disciples to return and handle the cleanup from the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon's discharge.
Once they all departed via the Portal, Chen Mobai retrieved Turtle Treasure.
Turtle Treasure had even tracked down the Purple Cloud Palace. Chen Mobai believed nothing else in the Great Thousand Universe lay beyond its grasp.
That said, Turtle Treasure's rank was far too elevated; he hadn't refined it yet.
So even positioning Turtle Treasure at the Death Vortex's disappearance site yielded no response, as if it required his true body within to activate location.
After prolonged attempts, Chen Mobai let out a sigh and stored Turtle Treasure away.
Just then, as he stowed Turtle Treasure, his phone screen filled with numerous pop-up notifications.
[Discover Gate of Taixu, would you like to absorb and refine it?]
[There is enough Power of Void around to assist in refining, do you agree?]
…
Earlier, upon first encountering the Portal, Turtle Treasure had displayed similar prompts; back then, a [cultivation level not sufficient for refining] notice followed immediately.
Now, post-Divinity Transformation, his cultivation should suffice. Yet since the Portal served as the Immortal Sect’s vital Treasure—the key for all Immortal Sect Disciples to escape Earth Element Star—Chen Mobai, no selfish soul, had always declined.
Particularly now, suspecting Turtle Treasure might be the Tianhe Realm's Gate of Taixu, he refrained from letting it manifest its true nature.
Otherwise, the clash of Void Great Daos from two realms could summon the Pure Yang Great Powers of this Great Thousand Universe.
With these thoughts, Chen Mobai sighed once more and selected ’No’.
Afterward, he engaged the refined Portal to begin pulling in the immense Power of Void unleashed by Ming Wang Star’s destruction.
This Power of Void mingled among the colorful speckled energy orbs, yet the supreme Portal, as a high-grade Treasure, could independently select and ingest what it required.
Thus, aided by Chen Mobai, the Portal activated, siphoning threads of silver radiance from the colossal speckled energy masses across the endless starry void.
Every thread of silver brilliance embodied pure Void Dao Power, and as the Portal integrated them steadily, further capabilities and essences of this Magic Artifact unveiled themselves in Chen Mobai’s consciousness.
Truly, the Portal constituted a fragment of the Gate of Taixu.
Teleportation ranked as its simplest capability.
In truth, it functioned as a communication device, linking intelligent beings across the Great Thousand Universe, much like the Immortal Sect’s phone.
Instantly after grasping the Portal’s authentic purpose, Chen Mobai sensed his spirit withdrawing into a enigmatic domain.
Glancing about, he found himself enclosed in a box-like space, its top, bottom, and sides adorned with bizarre glyphs and talisman scripts that formed walls both absent and present.
Though unfamiliar with certain glyphs and talismans, a mere gaze revealed their significance and details instinctively.
[Zhou Sheng Star Domain Bei River Dao Arena Vertical and Horizontal Faction needs one Seventh Rank Harmonization Flower, willing to offer one hundred Dao Merits or trade by barter. Vertical and Horizontal Faction is willing to cover the Dao Merits for shipping.]
[Mystic Palace Hei Shen Daojun needs to refine a Treasure of Dao again, invites Purple Cloud Galaxy Artifact Refining Immortal Masters with experience in refining Seventh Rank Dao Treasure for a discussion, ample rewards offered.]
[Central Dao Arena Eighth Rank Innate Treasure Destroying Dao Heavenly Axe disappeared, if anyone can provide verified news, they may earn eight hundred Dao Merits.]
…
Chen Mobai scanned these messages, struck by a sense of rustic awe.
For in the Immortal Sect, he knew of “Dao Merits”.
This currency, issued by the Central Dao Arena, gained acceptance among all Mysterious Gate powers in the Great Thousand Universe.
The Five Ancestors of Xianmen arrived at Earth Element Star because this world bore the Demonic Thought curse; purifying it granted one Dao Merit.
A Demonic Thought-afflicted planet, amplified via the Portal, drew other demon-tainted worlds, allowing the Immortal Sect to eradicate sites like Dragon God Star and Ming Wang Star in conflicts for Dao Merits.
The Five Ancestors of Xianmen had schemed astutely: root themselves on the isolated Earth Element Star in Purple Cloud Galaxy, steadily gather Dao Merits, and should one achieve Void Cultivation, refine the Portal to access its true power that Chen Mobai now wielded.
Yet fate twisted plans; Dao Merits proved hard-won. The Five Ancestors reached Earth Element Star, but save Long Wei Patriarch, the rest perished here.
Thus, even a Spiritual Venerable could only access the Portal’s rudimentary teleportation.
Only Void Refining Realm cultivators, or those versed in Void Great Dao, might enter the Portal’s core—the void chamber housing Chen Mobai now.
Having absorbed this knowledge, Chen Mobai willed it, summoning a void panel before him.
This displayed the Portal’s account basics.
[ID: Gate of Taixu 71963 Subdoor]
[Account Name: White Crane Dojo Survivors Mutual Assistance Association]
[Dao Merit Balance: 12]
[Tasks In Progress: Purify Demon-contaminated Planet 64725144 (Incomplete)]
[Completed Tasks: Purify (Extinguish) Demon-contaminated Planet 47895146 (Complete, earned 1 Dao Merit), Purify (Extinguish) Demon-contaminated Planet 815795476 (Complete, earned 1 Dao Merit), Purify (Extinguish) Demon-contaminated Planet 14257834 (Complete, earned 2 Dao Merits)…]
For the final two finished tasks, Chen Mobai checked dates aligning perfectly with Dragon God Star and Ming Wang Star’s annihilations.
Dragon God Star yielded 1 Dao Merit; Ming Wang Star, 3 Dao Merits—the top reward listed.
This outlined for Chen Mobai the Dao Merit worth of demon-tainted planets.
By this scale, the Three Eyed Tribe’s world merited 3 Dao Merits too.
At the completed tasks’ end, a note read: Basic tasks, auto-recorded by Subdoor.
Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai felt deep appreciation; without auto-recording, the Immortal Sect’s millennia of warfare would yield zero Dao Merits.
Even so, their vast labors netted just 12 Dao Merits—pitifully scant.
Unclear how the Five Ancestors of Xianmen acquired the Portal and Seven Great Heavenly Books.
For though the Portal was this Great Thousand Universe’s standard communication Magic Artifact, it cost 20 Dao Merits to obtain.
Likely, post-White Crane Dao Arena’s collapse, the Five Ancestors merged their sects’ Dao Merits, liquidating assets for the exchange.
Next, Chen Mobai tapped [Dao Merit Balance], entering a mall-like interface.
He spotted “Purchase Record” in the top right.
Overwhelmed by curiosity, Chen Mobai clicked it once more.
