I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2653 - 1216: My Daughter Knows How to Lie Now

[A demonically tainted planet, home to Destruction Grand Demons, has been located. Its power level is roughly assessed, and the asking price is quite appealing. Interested buyers are encouraged to send a private message.]

Chen Mobai posted this notice, then waited for a fortnight with no takers.

He speculated that perhaps the title was not enticing enough, or the price terms were not explicitly clear, prompting him to revise the listing.

However, even after multiple adjustments, not a single hunter made an inquiry.

Chen Mobai remained undeterred by this initial lack of interest, understanding that the beginning of any endeavor is often fraught with challenges.

Besides, the number of individuals possessing Portals, while not insignificant, was still limited.

Planet Merchants were generally acknowledged as being among the more perilous professions for accumulating Dao Merits. This role was often undertaken as a secondary occupation, and many practitioners were at the Cultivating Void stage. Such individuals might enter extended periods of seclusion, lasting decades or even centuries, rendering the Demon Market Platform relatively tranquil, with only a handful of new postings appearing daily.

As the deposit of one Dao Merit was refundable upon cancellation of a listing, Chen Mobai left his post active without further concern.

Upon emerging from his seclusion, he presented the Star Path True Explanation, which he had brought from Yuanxing, to Yunhai.

Techniques for Cultivation at such a high level naturally required rigorous examination and approval from the Immortal Gate for Deity Transformation before they could be made widely available in the national library.

This process was similar to when Chen Mobai had previously invited Qi Yuheng and other Deity Transformations from the Immortal Gate to meticulously review both the Five Elements Immortal Scripture and the Three Yin Scripture on multiple occasions.

"Pure Yang, I merely mentioned it in passing back then, yet you've actually brought it to fruition!" Yunhai True Monarch exclaimed, his jaw agape as he finished perusing the Star Path True Explanation.

Previously, when the Seven Great Deity Transformation Techniques pertaining to Yin Yang and the Five Elements were integrated into the Pure Yang Immortal Scripture, Yunhai had pondered whether Chen Mobai might succeed in formulating an Array Dao Deity Transformation Technique.

Now, over a decade later, Yunhai had almost forgotten about this possibility himself, only for Chen Mobai to deliver the very thing he had considered.

"I found myself with spare time, so I ventured through the Portal. There, numerous Great Abilities of the Mysterious Gate had left behind their profound insights, their Micro-speak Big Meaning. By comparing these with the Celestial Stars Earth Luo Star Formation and the knowledge inherited from White Light Ancestor, I managed to consolidate this Star Path True Explanation. However, many sections remain imperfect and may require your amendments."

Chen Mobai once again offered his customary explanation, and Yunhai True Monarch found no reason to object. A significant portion of this Star Path True Explanation focused on the application and mastery of the Power of Stars. The specific cultivation methodologies had been intentionally downplayed by Chen Mobai, as they were tailored towards the physique of the Star Clan.

Nevertheless, for Yunhai True Monarch, a being at the Deity Transformation stage, the insights Chen Mobai provided were invaluable. His current cultivation realm was already comparable to that of a Star God.

Should Yunhai True Monarch fully internalize the Star Path True Explanation, his standing within the Sky Array sect could be significantly elevated. He might even gain comprehension of a portion of the formidable Celestial Stars Earth Luo Star Formation.

"Once I have mastered this, I shall pass it on to Xingxing. His aptitude in this particular domain far exceeds my own. Let us observe whether he can embark on this path and forge a cultivation method centered around the Star Path from the very beginning."

Yunhai True Monarch spoke with evident anticipation. His own foundation was firmly established, making a transition to cultivating the Star Path exceptionally challenging. However, Chen Xingxing was different. Ever since his assignment to the Sky Curtain Ground Network Management Bureau, he had demonstrated exceptional talent in the field of Array Dao.

If the foundation laid during his Nascent Soul Formation could be fortified with the Power of Stars, it was conceivable that he might truly integrate the Celestial Stars Earth Luo Star Formation into his Primordial Spirit after achieving Divinity Transformation, thereby reaching the Star Path.

"In this endeavor, our focus should be on guidance, not coercion, with respect to Xingxing. It is paramount that he makes this choice to cultivate independently."

Chen Mobai contemplated for a moment before offering this counsel to Yunhai True Monarch, who readily agreed, nodding repeatedly.

After all, they were aware that White Light's True Spirit resided within Chen Xingxing's brow, marked by the Patching Heaven Seal. As the cultivation method for the Reincarnated Body, White Light undoubtedly oversaw its progression personally. Excessive interference from their end might inadvertently impede his development.

Following their discussion regarding the Star Path True Explanation, Chen Mobai decided that since he was already present, it would be opportune to meet with Chen Xingxing.

"Hmm, it appears this young fellow has taken leave of his duties; he isn't in the office today?"

Yunhai True Monarch employed his Divine Sense to scan the area. His initial intention was to summon Chen Xingxing, but he could detect no sign of him at his workstation.

Yet, as a Deity Transformation True Monarch, if he truly wished to conduct a thorough search, Chen Xingxing would find it impossible to evade detection.

Yunhai True Monarch first surmised that Chen Xingxing might be availing himself of the opportunity to play games on a balcony or a similar location. However, upon discerning the actual situation with his Divine Sense, he was momentarily taken aback and regarded Chen Mobai with a degree of uncertainty.

"What's the matter? Is this brat slacking off again? You should send him to the fields..."

Sensing Yunhai's expression, Chen Mobai, drawing upon his knowledge of Chen Xingxing, began to offer his thoughts.

"Pure Yang, I recall there's a need to establish new Grand Array Spirit Cores outside of White Stone Cave Haven; you showing up made me almost forget..."

Suddenly, Yunhai True Monarch slapped his forehead, conjured an excuse, and hastily initiated Void Teleportation, vanishing from his office.

Witnessing this, Chen Mobai was initially taken aback, his eyebrows knitting together.

What precisely was Chen Xingxing doing to make Yunhai True Monarch, a Deity Transformation cultivator, avoid him like this?

As the current leader of the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai now feared no one; he could even suppress Bai Guang if it awakened. Thus, he unleashed his Divine Sense directly, commencing a search for Chen Xingxing with the Sky Curtain Ground Network Management Bureau as the central point.

Before long, Chen Xingxing's presence was detected at a café several kilometers away.

Chen Xingxing, in a rare display, had tidied himself up, donning clean attire, his hair washed and face shaved. Across from him sat a young woman, their conversation flowing easily, both sporting joyful expressions.

Could this be a date?

Feeling surprised, Chen Mobai recollected his past entanglements with Bai Guang's Reincarnated Body. He pondered whether he should intervene to rouse White Light's True Spirit, lest it harbor resentment later.

At this very moment, Chen Mobai was also intensely curious about who could persuade Chen Xingxing, a devoted gaming enthusiast, to set aside his phone and engage in such lighthearted conversation.

His Divine Sense shifted, instantly perceiving the girl's face turn towards him.

Then, Chen Mobai abruptly stood, his fist clenching tightly!

For that was his daughter.

Chen Xiaohei!

That scoundrel, daring to court my daughter!

An unprecedented wave of fury surged within Chen Mobai's heart as he observed his cherished daughter, whom he had painstakingly raised, now laughing and smiling with another young man. It evoked a profound sense of having something precious snatched away.

This feeling persisted even though the young man was someone he had watched grow up and was intimately familiar with.

In that instant, Chen Mobai grasped precisely why Yunhai True Monarch had fled in such haste earlier.

If Yunhai had remained, Chen Mobai would have undoubtedly needed to silence him first, preventing the matter from spreading and potentially damaging his daughter's reputation.

However, Yunhai True Monarch mistakenly believed he was safe as long as he wasn't in Chen Mobai's immediate vicinity; he was, in fact, quite naive.

Upon this realization, Chen Mobai's divine sense exploded outwards, swiftly enveloping the entire Earth Element Star and alerting all nearby Deity Transformations.

Above the ocean waters near White Stone Cave Haven, Yunhai True Monarch opened his mouth as if to speak, but Chen Mobai's Void Illusion had already materialized before him, stating with a blank expression, "Do not spread word of this matter, understand?"

"Mmm-mmm-mmm!"

Yunhai True Monarch nodded vigorously, regretting the initial decision to place Chen Xingxing under his watch.

After securing Yunhai's promise, Chen Mobai immediately dissolved his illusory manifestation.

This masterful application of void power left Yunhai in utter astonishment.

Yet, within Yunhai's heart, the dominant feeling was one of intense curiosity.

He yearned to uncover how Chen Xingxing and Chen Xiaohei had intersected or somehow come to be together.

While it might simply be a friendly rendezvous, considering Chen Xiaohei's position at the Forestry Administration and Chen Mobai's Sky Curtain Ground Network Management Bureau spanning half of Wangwu Cave Heaven, ordinary friends would unlikely meet during working hours.

Consequently, Yunhai True Monarch immediately considered the possibility of a romantic relationship.

Unfortunately for him, he discovered this just as Chen Mobai happened to be nearby.

Recalling Chen Mobai's temperament, Yunhai True Monarch promptly resolved to escape, leaving the paternal responsibility to Chen Mobai.

"Fortunately, Ah Xing holds an extraordinary status. If it were anyone else..."

Yunhai True Monarch mused to himself, feeling a sense of relief for Chen Xingxing's circumstances.

But soon, his thoughts drifted to Bai Guang, who was currently far away in the cosmic expanse.

What if she were to return?

And discover this development, how would she react?

He surmised that even if Ancestor Qian Xing were to awaken, he would be flayed alive.

It was possible that Ancestor Bai Guang's animosity towards Ancestor Qian Xing would only intensify this matter.

After all, an elder pursuing a younger partner was rather deplorable behavior.

Oh, but Bai Guang Ancestor herself was also of a similar inclination, so perhaps she would understand.

However, Pure Yang would undoubtedly be enraged!

In that moment, a whirlwind of thoughts consumed Yunhai True Monarch's mind. Had Chen Mobai not just issued his warning, he would have been tempted to inform the other Deity Transformations of this news, just to witness their astonished and gossiping reactions.

Though his heart felt as though it were being clawed by a cat, Yunhai remembered Chen Mobai's earlier expression and wisely chose to suppress his desire for gossip. With a sigh, he instead turned his attention to the ongoing construction of several spiritual pivots for the Celestial Stars Earth Luo Star Formation out at sea.

Back in Wangwu Cave Heaven, after delivering his warning to Yunhai, Chen Mobai took several deep breaths, his clenched fist finally loosening. He then retrieved his phone and dialed his daughter's number.

The call was soon answered by Chen Xiaohei, who was at a café. Slipping into a secluded corner, she replied, [Dad, what a surprise to hear from you today! Have you finished your seclusion training?]

Chen Xiaohei's words, laced with both surprise and joy, reached him. Chen Mobai, after stifling his true emotions, put on a relaxed tone. [Yes, I just ended my seclusion. My first thought was to check in on my dear daughter. Where are you at the moment? I don't see you at home.]

Chen Xiaohei responded, [It's work hours now, Dad. I'm at the office.]

A wave of disappointment washed over Chen Mobai upon hearing this.

His daughter had begun to tell a fib.

This was an unmistakable sign of her dating.

It was, without a doubt, a sign that she was dating.
