I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2604 - 1187: Void Snake (2)

Should deliveries from the Purple Cloud Galaxy mirror the Immortal Gate's approach, a living being would at least be needed for transport.

To the Immortal Gate, cut off from the world for thousands of years, this offers a prime chance to behold the outer realms.

Suddenly, Chen Mobai's face twisted, and he shot up from his meditation cushion, vanishing to the grand hall's exterior in a teleport.

The gathered people assumed a celestial guest had arrived and chased after him, but discovered Chen Mobai hadn't dashed toward the starry expanse—instead, he perched atop a neighboring mountain summit.

A portal looms atop the mountain peak.

Upon revealing this Supreme Treasure's authentic power, Chen Mobai had installed it there, treating it as shared assets.

Just then, absent Chen Mobai's command, wisps of silver glow poured from the portal.

[Please activate the portal and confirm the location!]

A notion of this portal's directive flashed in Chen Mobai's awareness, leading him to swiftly invoke the Power of Void and nudge the paired gates ajar.

Right away, the silver light exploded outward, rocketing upward before fading into the Outer Space Void.

Within that silver brilliance, a pathway abruptly tore open in the stellar emptiness beyond Earth Element Star, unleashing a lustrous silver snake-like entity. Hornless and limbless like a dragon, draped in stellar shimmer, it leisurely glided down from the celestial heights over the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.

This sleek silver beast bore twin ink-black slit eyes, yet Chen Mobai sensed zero feelings in its stare—like a soulless parcel drone.

Still, the concealed void ripples chasing it signaled to Immortal Gate members that the creature had command of the Void Great Dao at the least, and perhaps pursued Void Cultivation.

Without that, spanning the cosmos to haul wares from Phoenix Palace to Earth Element Star would lie beyond its reach.

"Ding" sounded.

Chen Mobai abruptly spied a seller alert blinking on the portal account: [Dear customer, hello, the Void Snake has arrived at your planet. This is your exclusive mantra for item retrieval. Please do not disclose it to other beings. If due to your leak, the goods are taken by others, our shop will not be responsible...]

"So that’s how you pick up the goods!" Chen Mobai grasped instantly after scanning the notice.

With the Law of the Five Tones, he mastered the mantra at once, then chanted softly toward the airborne Void Snake. Moments later, a peculiar silvery-gray light flared anew inside the portal.

Once this glow linked with the Void Snake, a fresh intent reached Chen Mobai's mind: [Confirmed that the item retriever’s information is correct!]

This felt like the Void Snake's built-in routine. Following the check, it gaped wide in the air, spewing a silver parcel that tumbled downward.

Chen Mobai swiftly deployed the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, snatching the package and easing it softly to his side.

[Please verify the goods face-to-face; I will document the entire process. If there is no issue, this transaction will be completed. Please remember to give a positive review for the shop and Taixu Express.]

At these words, Chen Mobai knew both notices stemmed from the Void Snake. Eyeing the gleaming silver serpent hovering overhead, he felt ever more certain the Central Dojo's supreme expert wielded profound Divine Skills to birth such a transport beast.

He nodded, then before the Void Snake's gaze, unsealed the silver bundle, pulling out the wrapped Dragon Gall and assorted herbs. Upon witnessing this, Tao Hua, Three Extremes, and Yuan Xu—who lingered nearby—were called over by Chen Mobai and rushed forward to assess the ingredients' qualities.

Also included was one last item sealed by a silver talisman, looking like a vibrant scarlet oval gem alive with pulse—the costliest Sixth Rank Spirit Vein.

Given its affordable tag, he lacked the option to pick its type, leaving it to the seller's random choice.

Luckily, Chen Mobai’s Saintly Virtue Great Dao's Fate aspect triggered, delivering a Fire Attribute Sixth Rank Spirit Vein.

This matched his Cultivation needs flawlessly.

Furthermore, Crimson Mountain—home to the Immortal Gate's fiercest fire spirit vein—stood as the ideal placement. Embed the crystal there, peel off the silver talisman, and it would fuse with the base vein at the perfect rhythm.

"Congratulations, Cheng Xuan."

Yunhai, watching from the side, caught sight of the spirit vein's shade in Chen Mobai’s grip and couldn't hold back his jealous words to Cheng Xuan next to him.

"Just lucky, perhaps someone possessing Dao Merits will obtain a Water Attribute spirit vein next time."

Though Cheng Xuan spoke these words, a broad smile lingered on his face uncontrollably.

The Immortal Gate had only just fused every spirit vein across the Earth Element Star into the Six Rank Lower Grade Spirit Vein within the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.

Following the activation of the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon, its rank had dropped below sixth.

Therefore, should Crimson Mountain elevate to a Sixth Rank Spirit Vein, it would surely emerge as the central heart of the Immortal Gate.

"No issues here,"

By now, Tao Hua alongside the other three Fifth Rank Alchemists had inspected all the herbs thoroughly and reported back to Chen Mobai.

"You've toiled hard."

Chen Mobai gave a nod, then tapped to confirm the receipt on the portal’s online shop interface.

The Void Snake hovering in mid-air had its pitch-black eyes gradually dimming, as though it had finished documenting the entire inspection and was ready to depart.

A void tunnel cracked open in Outer Space, and the Void Snake dipped its head toward Chen Mobai.

This sight stirred something in Chen Mobai’s heartstrings, for he realized the Void Snake wasn’t completely emotionless, suggesting it could engage in communication.

Yet right at that instant, the Void Snake burst into a brilliant silver radiance across its body and started rising into the tunnel, obviously set on heading back.

Chen Mobai paused briefly but then, seizing the precious chance for the Immortal Gate to connect with the outer realms, boldly called out, "Fellow Daoist, since the journey is so far, care for a cup of tea to refresh before you go?"

As the words landed, Qi Yuheng and the rest watched with hopeful eyes.

The Void Snake, which had been ascending, halted and lowered its gaze to lock with Chen Mobai’s, only to shake its head shortly after.

[I’ve got several more deliveries pending, so to prevent any holdups, I won’t stay.]

The Void Snake’s resonant voice echoed in Chen Mobai’s mind as its body shimmered silver once more, with its tail slipping first into the tunnel.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai could merely display a look of reluctance.

"Regardless, many thanks, Fellow Daoist, for delivering these goods."

Chen Mobai joined the Immortal Gate members in voicing their thanks to the Void Snake, which gave a stoic nod amid the starry expanse. Just as it neared vanishing, its shadowy eyes swept over the planet by chance.

Suddenly, it went rigid.

For the first time, Chen Mobai caught a strikingly human-like expression crossing its features.

In Outer Space, the immense Void Power that had been surging halted abruptly, and the Void Snake, half-submerged in the tunnel, shot back out.

With a thunderous bellow amid the colossal rumble, the Void Snake rematerialized beyond the Earth Element Star, then smoothly traversed the Immortal Gate’s Heavenly Curtain via the Void Great Dao, slicing through the thick atmosphere to descend.

Chen Mobai and his companions were utterly stunned, wondering what prompted the Void Snake’s abrupt return.

[I’ve suddenly grown a tad thirsty; a cup of tea won’t hold up the deliveries much.]

The Void Snake touched down on the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, sending the message straight to Chen Mobai.

"Please hold on a moment, senior..."

Though baffled by the Void Snake’s sudden change in demeanor, Chen Mobai held his tongue wisely. He sent a mental directive to Master Peach Blossom, since Wenren Xuewei was away and her tea-brewing prowess was unmatched.

At that juncture, silver light enveloped the Void Snake entirely, reshaping it into a silver-skinned humanoid figure crowned with horns, who alighted right before the portal.

With a flick of his sleeve, Chen Mobai conjured tables and chairs from within his Law Domain, gesturing for the Void Snake to take a seat.

"A Law Domain?"

Clearly discerning excellence, the Void Snake spotted that Chen Mobai, despite being at Divinity Transformation, had already grasped this profound art, causing ripples across its otherwise serene visage once again.
