I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2722 - 1254: Packed Up and Taken Away

[Could it be that the test of the Purple Cloud Palace failed, resulting in his teleportation away?]

Dark Vortex, recalling the legends of the Purple Cloud Palace circulating in various arenas, secretly pondered the cause of Chen Mobai's abrupt vanishing.

Nevertheless, for him at this precise moment, the paramount concern was to seize this rare chance to discern the path to further advancement within the Purple Cloud Palace.

Surveying the meditation cushion before him, Dark Vortex drew a deep breath, intending to step forward.

Yet, he discovered that each step felt as if burdened by the crushing weight of the cosmic Star River, rendering his advance exceedingly difficult.

His expression shifted subtly, and upon reaching the second-to-last row of cushions, he found himself utterly incapable of proceeding further. With a sigh, he selected a nearby cushion and took his seat.

Just as Dark Vortex closed his eyes, preparing to enter a state of profound meditation and wander the Great Dao, Chen Mobai reappeared from behind the Green Lotus Stone Platform.

In that instant, Dark Vortex nearly succumbed to the impulse to launch an assault.

But swiftly, his formidable self-discipline compelled him to remain still.

Assaults are strictly forbidden within the hallowed grounds of the Purple Cloud Palace.

This paramount taboo is universally acknowledged among cultivators throughout the cosmos who possess even a modicum of understanding.

Observing Dark Vortex's restraint, a fleeting sense of disappointment registered in Chen Mobai's eyes. Indeed, minor stratagems prove ineffective against such formidable individuals.

"Pray tell, who might you be?"

At this juncture, Dark Vortex, managing to suppress his astonishment, directed his query towards Chen Mobai.

It bears mentioning that he, with his peak Void Refining cultivation, had only managed to tread upon the second-to-last row, yet this young boy stood effortlessly within the innermost sanctum.

The Green Lotus Stone Platform was widely presumed to be the reserved seat of the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable himself.

The ability to stand behind it could not possibly signify superiority over the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable – that was an unthinkable notion. However, Dark Vortex apprehended that this young boy was undoubtedly not the simple native of this planet he had initially surmised.

Consequently, his tone resonated with an unacknowledged gravity.

Chen Mobai recited a verse, proclaiming his status as a disciple of the Purple Cloud, and subsequently elucidated the regulations governing the interior of the Purple Cloud Palace.

He was acutely aware that his capacity to traverse the Purple Cloud Palace as Turtle Treasure stemmed from undertaking the sacred mission of preaching to the heavens. Even if Dark Vortex posed an adversary, his primary objective had to be fulfilled.

Nevertheless, even under these circumstances, Dark Vortex found himself somewhat apprehensive.

A disciple of the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable!

Across this vast universe, numerous renowned powerhouses exist, with the Pure Yang Dao Ancestor standing at the apex.

Yet, the perceived cultivation level of this young individual before him seemed astonishingly low?

Employing his considerable insight, Dark Vortex plainly assessed Chen Mobai as merely a cultivator who had transcended the God realm.

However, owing to Chen Mobai's discourse on the Purple Cloud Palace's edicts, and by virtue of his esteemed position, Dark Vortex felt no inclination to doubt anything proclaimed.

Dark Vortex soon recalled the preceding events on the platform just outside the palace, where Chen Mobai had made a sweeping gesture with his sleeve, ensnaring the Spiritual Venerable.

Could that colossal Peng bird, blessed with a Law Domain, be his companion beast?

Had it been somewhat audacious of him to have made a move previously?

Did he perhaps owe an apology?

Unbeknownst to Chen Mobai, a cascade of thoughts tumbled through Dark Vortex's mind as he concluded his recitation of the Purple Cloud Palace's rules.

"The opportunity presented is indeed rare; from the very moment you set foot within this place and settled upon a cushion, the process has already commenced."

Having spoken these words, Chen Mobai ceased to pay any further attention to Dark Vortex, turning directly towards the exit.

As he passed by Dark Vortex, Chen Mobai even intentionally decelerated his pace. Alas, Dark Vortex remained seated uprightly upon his cushion, utterly immobile, betraying no intention of initiating any action.

Perceiving this, Chen Mobai did not resort to any deliberate provocation.

Firstly, such an act would contravene the established protocols of the Purple Cloud Palace. Furthermore, Dark Vortex's cultivation was unfathomably deep, raising concerns that a specific technique might pinpoint Chen Mobai's location on Fushang Star.

Even with a Law Domain at his disposal, the Spiritual Venerable was not his equal. Chen Mobai was certain he would possess no means of resistance whatsoever.

A gentleman of principle may yet exact his vengeance after a hundred years have passed.

It would be prudent to abstain from conflict for the present.

With this line of reasoning, Chen Mobai stepped forth from the Purple Cloud Palace once more.

At this precise moment, Dark Vortex began to waver in his resolve. He certainly did not wish to forfeit this invaluable chance for enlightenment, yet he also harbored a fear that Chen Mobai might launch a surprise attack while he was immersed in meditation.

Ultimately, Dark Vortex maintained a portion of his consciousness alert, while the remaining half delved into meditation in pursuit of enlightenment.

This division of focus naturally resulted in a considerably diminished efficacy of his quest for enlightenment.

For Chen Mobai, this outcome represented an unforeseen bonus.

Having successfully evaded Dark Vortex, he emerged onto the open-air platform and once again summoned the Spiritual Venerable.

"I never imagined I'd encounter someone known from the Earth Element Star in this life," the golden-haired, golden-eyed Spiritual Venerable spoke, his complexion wan and his spiritual energy depleted, yet a clear joy flickered in his eyes.

"How did you end up in a confrontation with him, Senior?" Chen Mobai had numerous inquiries for the Spiritual Venerable, but his immediate concern was the formidable presence of Dark Vortex.

"He arrived on this world not long ago, infiltrating various water vein convergences. Wantonly slaughtering the lifeforms within, he sacrificed them to cultivate magic artifacts, seemingly in pursuit of something. This region is also a place where I cultivate; naturally, I could not permit his unchecked rampage. Thus, I employed my Law Domain to apprehend him. However, who would have foreseen his overwhelming cultivation? Even the might of my Law Domain proved insufficient to suppress him. Later, having grasped its workings, he turned it against me, shattering it with the Power of Destruction and even attempting to refine my Law Domain to bolster his magic artifact's potency..." The Spiritual Venerable recounted his tale matter-of-factly.

It transpired that a Law Domain served as an exceptional offering for magic artifacts, capable of elevating Rank Six artifacts beyond their limits, transforming them from acquired to innate.
