I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2721 - 1253: Reunion with the Spiritual Venerable (Part 2)

Upon this realization, Chen Mobai promptly withdrew his second primordial spirit, retracting it to the entrance of the Purple Cloud Palace.

Though the cause remained unknown, it was evidently clear that the planet before him teetered on the brink of explosion.

Even with his current cultivation level, a misstep in such cataclysmic circumstances could lead to severe injury.

However, an alternative explanation swiftly occurred to him.

Could this anomaly be linked to the Spiritual Venerable?

Concurrently, Chen Mobai detected a familiar fluctuation of the Dao.

From within the fractured earth, a faint luminescence flickered, emanating a true intent of destruction that instilled primal fear in all living beings.

The Great Dao of Destruction!

A surge of exhilaration washed over Chen Mobai at this sight.

Who else could it be but his wife?

Remarkably, both the Spiritual Venerable and Bai Guang were present on this very planet.

This thought brought a twinge of apprehension; his marital relations with Bai Guang were far from harmonious, and their differing views on family matters often led to discord. He worried they might erupt into conflict upon meeting.

Yet, he reasoned that the Spiritual Venerable's presence might serve as a stabilizing influence.

With this hopeful outlook, Chen Mobai adjusted his attire, contemplating the most suitable opening words to placate Bai Guang upon their encounter.

Just as he arrived at the platform's edge before the Purple Cloud Palace and gazed upon the destructive white light seeping through the ground's fissures, a sharp avian cry pierced the air.

The fissures appeared to connect to an unfathomable void, twisting and widening under the assault of the destructive white light, revealing yet another sprawling oceanic world.

Within this new realm, the heavens shimmered with intermittent golden light, yet a single region resisted being overshadowed. There, dark flames raged fiercely, intertwined with wisps of faint white light, their confluence creating a grayish-white glow that caused Chen Mobai's expression to shift dramatically.

He had encountered this grayish-white luminescence before; it was not the destructive white light but the Three-eyed King's Breaking Divine Light.

What precisely was transpiring?

Lost in astonishment, Chen Mobai observed that the area illuminated by the golden light began to contract over time, while the encroaching dark flames and gray light steadily expanded.

Regrettably, his limited cultivation prevented him from discerning the true nature of the golden light and the dark flames, only confirming they represented two Nascent Soul cultivators, and that location was the Spiritual Venerable's Beiming Law Realm.

Chen Mobai immediately deployed his Haotian Mirror, intending to utilize this Rank Six artifact for a clearer view.

But at that critical juncture, the dark flames and gray light finally broke free from the golden light's confinement, surging outward along the world rift unleashed by the destructive power.

The moment the dark flames and gray light emerged, the entire planet emitted a mournful lament, appearing to be on the verge of instantaneous disintegration.

Chen Mobai instinctively retreated several paces, his foot already halfway across the threshold of the Purple Cloud Palace. Still, his thoughts raced, pondering how he might assist the Spiritual Venerable in subduing this formidable Nascent Soul adversary who had apparently mastered a degree of the destructive Dao.

BOOM!

As the dark flames and gray light erupted from the law realm, the Spiritual Venerable found herself utterly overcome, incapable of containing her foe any longer. A ground-shattering explosion accompanied the emergence of a slightly stooped figure, elongated like a shadow, from the rift within the law realm, enveloping the planet's sky in darkness.

Chen Mobai identified the newcomer as an elderly man, clutching a pitch-black flag in his left hand and a grayish-white eyeball in his right, his gaze fixed coldly upon the golden light within the law realm.

At this moment, through the Haotian Mirror's enhanced vision, Chen Mobai perceived that the golden light was, in fact, the Spiritual Venerable's Heavenly Peng Primordial Spirit.

Her demeanor was grim, conveying an urgent desire to seal the law realm.

Yet, the old man nonchalantly tossed the grayish-white eyeball, much like a common stone, directly into the tear of the law realm, effectively sealing it.

Under the immense pressure exerted by the law realm's power, the destructive potential dormant within the grayish-white eyeball violently erupted, causing the contracting fissure of the Beiming Law Realm to widen further. Simultaneously, the old man grasped the shaft of the pitch-black flag and plunged it from the exterior into the law realm.

Chen Mobai instantly recognized this grayish-white eyeball as the destructive magic eye situated on the forehead of the Three-eyed King, who, after his location was compromised, had been brutally dismembered by numerous hunters.

Based on prior video uploads by Song Qingyi, this elder is recognized as the Dark Vortex, one who has cultivated the Dark Great Dao. Although originating from the adjacent Withering Glory Dojo, he has maintained a prolonged presence within the Mystic Palace. Even without practicing demonic cultivation, his continued survival there attests to his formidable nature.

Chen Mobai had already surmised that the Dark Vortex was employing the power of the law realm to meld his destructive magic eye with the obsidian flag. Should this fusion prove successful, it would likely manifest into a terrifying artifact, capable of unleashing devastating power.

It was evident that the Spiritual Venerable had also perceived this threat. However, she found herself unable to seal the law realm at this critical juncture.

From the moment the Dark Vortex first arrived on this world and was subsequently ensnared within her law realm, the Spiritual Venerable had inadvertently fallen into his trap.

Were it not for the Spiritual Venerable’s intervention, the Dark Vortex would likely never have discovered the entryway to the law realm.

Nevertheless, the Spiritual Venerable harbored excessive confidence in her law realm's capabilities. Unable to bear witness to the Dark Vortex sacrificing the planet's inhabitants to empower his magic artifact, she immediately moved to suppress him upon detecting his descent.

Following this suppression, the Spiritual Venerable swiftly recognized her inability to eliminate the Dark Vortex. Her subsequent attempt to expel him proved futile, as she couldn't even lay a hand on him. This ultimately led to him unleashing destructive power, shattering the law realm and resulting in the current predicament.

[Is my fate sealed today, to be refined by this devil cultivator!]

Just as the Spiritual Venerable resigned herself to her impending doom, a familiar voice transmission resonated in her mind: [Senior, please ascend to Purple Cloud Palace...]

Purple Cloud Palace?!

Upon receiving Chen Mobai's transmission, the Spiritual Venerable experienced a surge of surprise and profound delight.

Unexpectedly, fate had not entirely abandoned her; the Purple Cloud Palace had manifested on this very planet at this most crucial instant.

Disregarding any unaddressed questions regarding Chen Mobai’s presence, she immediately relinquished her law realm, which had been usurped by the Dark Vortex's Great Dao. Transforming into a brilliant streak of golden light, she swiftly descended towards the ocean's surface.

This decisive action by the Spiritual Venerable caused the Dark Vortex a moment of hesitation.

It is crucial to understand that cultivating within a law realm is an exceptionally arduous undertaking, achievable only once.

However, for him, this decision proved advantageous. Had the Spiritual Venerable persisted with resistance, victory might have been hers, but it would have demanded centuries to utterly annihilate her within the confines of the law realm.

Before long, the Dark Vortex comprehended the reason behind the Spiritual Venerable's abrupt abandonment of the law realm.

The golden luminescence streaked across the expanse, finally settling upon the steps of the Purple Cloud Palace, where it reformed into the somewhat pallid Spiritual Venerable. She cast a stern glance at the Dark Vortex, marking him as a sworn enemy.

"Purple Cloud Palace!"

The Dark Vortex’s gaze swept over the ancient and enigmatic stone celestial palace that now stood before him, his eyes alight with both astonishment and elation.

Revered in legend as the sacred inheritance of the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable, it was knowledge readily available to him as a Nascent Soul cultivator. With a casual gesture, he conjured a shadowy duplicate to continue the arduous task of refining the magic artifact, while his true self followed the Spiritual Venerable's upward trajectory onto the imposing steps.

The Spiritual Venerable registered this maneuver, her expression shifting subtly.

Although she was well aware of the Purple Cloud Palace’s established edicts prohibiting internal conflict, the stark reality of the Dark Vortex’s overwhelming might could not be ignored. At the zenith of Void Refining, wielding the Dark Great Dao and now bolstered by the powers of destruction and ruin, he could traverse the entirety of the Purple Cloud Universe unchallenged, with no True Immortal Dao Monarch daring to interfere.

The Spiritual Venerable dared not delay further, resolutely ascending the steps that led towards the Purple Cloud Palace, the ultimate destination at the end of the Three Thousand Great Dao.

Adopting a deliberate, almost playful demeanor, the Dark Vortex maintained a measured pace, following the Spiritual Venerable step by precarious step towards the heavens.

Along their ascent, the colossal beasts already positioned on the steps offered respectful salutations to the Spiritual Venerable, addressing her as their esteemed master.

The Spiritual Venerable, however, lacked the immediate leisure for pleasantries. Her brow was furrowed with apprehension, her mind consumed by the dreadful possibility that if the Dark Vortex remained unchecked today, he would undoubtedly proceed to blood-sacrifice every living being on the planet.

In short order, the Spiritual Venerable and the Dark Vortex, traversing the steps one after the other, bypassed all other entities present and reached the very summit.

There, they beheld a young man adorned with immaculate features and an aura of refined composure, his mien one of profound serenity.

Upon acknowledging Chen Mobai’s presence, the Spiritual Venerable's eyes flickered with a complex mixture of surprise, elation, and lingering concern; the appearance of a familiar face brought a measure of comfort, yet the gravity of the current situation precluded any prolonged moments of nostalgic reunion.

Conversely, the Dark Vortex knitted his brow, initially mistaking Chen Mobai for an indigenous spirit beast of this world, whose exceptional latent talents had seemingly drawn him before the Purple Cloud Palace.

However, the unfolding events that followed immediately after left the Dark Vortex utterly dumbfounded, his eyes wide with disbelief.With a casual flick of his sleeve, the Spiritual Venerable disappeared within it. The youth then cast a composed glance at Dark Vortex before turning and entering the Purple Cloud Palace. Dark Vortex surged in immediately afterward, only to discover the vast Purple Cloud Palace devoid of any presence.
