I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2943 - 1376: Daoist Academy Back Mountain

"Hey Xing, are you really okay here? After all, it’s the Pure Yang memorial..."

In the back mountain of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Yu Tianguang looked at Chen Xingxing lying on a chair playing games and said helplessly.

"The Grandmaster has only left, not died, and these memorials are held too frequently. Once every hundred years is enough. The Grandmaster isn’t concerned with such vain honors."

Chen Xingxing spoke lazily while holding his phone.

[He cares about these vain honors the most!]

Yu Tianguang knew Chen Mobai’s temperament well, after all, he had witnessed his high-profile entrance exam in Red Sandstone City and experienced Chen Mobai’s peak years in the Immortal Gate.

But this inner thought could not be voiced, lest it affect Chen Mobai’s brilliant image.

"The main purpose is to have these Nascent Soul Cultivators gather under the Pure Yang name and discuss the future development of our Weapon Dancing Sect."

Although Yu Tianguang was just a guard, he was very knowledgeable about major affairs in the Immortal Gate and loved discussing politics on forums in his spare time.

He knew the situation of the Three Great Halls was very delicate now because, among the Four Great Daoist Sects, Dance Instruments lacked a Divinity Transformation figure to oversee. With Chen Mobai leaving a hundred years ago, many young people lost the reverence the elderly had for the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and the enrollment rate of the academy declined year by year.

"Anyway, they’ll notify me after they’ve decided, so I won’t waste time there." Chen Xingxing suddenly sniffed the air and quickly reminded, "Watch the fire; this rabbit will get tough if you roast it more."

The two were now outside the security room on the back mountain. Since Chen Xingxing was transferred, this place became Yu Tianguang’s little world, and he often hunted wild game in the mountain.

Every time Chen Xingxing returned to the academy, he would be properly entertained.

"Pure Yang thinks highly of you; he mentioned privately that the academy will rely on you in the future."

Yu Tianguang spoke as he condensed his True Qi into a blade and cut off a leg of the roasted rabbit, handing it to Chen Xingxing. The latter rarely paused his game, set down his phone, and rose from the recliner.

"I’m the lowest in cultivation level among the Nascent Souls of the Weapon Dancing Sect, and there’s so many with the Qualification of Deification above me. It doesn’t make sense for me to carry the flag."

Chen Xingxing said while eating.

Quack Quack!

At this moment, a bird cry sounded beside the two.

Chen Xingxing looked up at the bird cage hanging on the door of the guard pavilion, where a blue bird was locked inside, eagerly looking at them, seemingly hungry, reminding them not to forget to feed it.

"This dumb bird has quite a long lifespan; it’s been years and it’s still alive."

Chen Xingxing exclaimed in amazement and casually tossed the bone towards the birdcage, precisely aiming for the space between the bars.

But the azure bird looked disgusted, spitting out a fresh breeze to blow the oncoming bone away.

"After all, it was sent by Pure Yang; the dumb bird probably has a great origin."

Yu Tianguang said while cutting another rabbit leg and throwing it to the azure bird, which immediately controlled the fresh wind to open the cage itself, flying out to bite the meat, then landing on the rooftop, enjoying its meal.

"When you put it that way, it might be true, considering ordinary birds couldn’t live this long. The original form of our Weapon Dancing Sect was the Dan Cauldron Sect of the White Crane Dao Arena, and our Grandmaster’s Three Azure Bird Dharma Aspect was well-known across the world. Could this dumb bird be the True Spirit Azure Bird?"

Chen Xingxing remembered what Principal Deng Daoyun mentioned after the Nascent Soul Formation about the Grandmaster, and he looked eagerly at the azure bird eating the meat.

"If it were true, then we might die old, and this dumb bird would still live. Would it even offer us joss paper at our graves?"

Yu Tianguang joked, but Chen Xingxing nodded earnestly.

"It might be possible; should I start currying favor with this dumb bird so it won’t only burn joss paper for you in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianguang rolled his eyes and ignored him, lifting a roasted rabbit head to start gnawing on it.

"Give me another piece; I’ll go feed it."

After grabbing a piece of rabbit meat from Yu Tianguang, Chen Xingxing teleported to the rooftop to hand it to the dumb bird, which looked warily at him but couldn’t resist the temptation of the meat, grabbed it in its beak, then transformed into a green light and dashed into the mountain.

"Don’t worry, it likes to roam around after eating and will return for sleep at night."

Hearing Yu Tianguang’s words, Chen Xingxing ignored it, landed on his recliner, and resumed his game.

Not long after, Deng Daoyun’s call came through, informing Chen Xingxing that after wrapping up the meeting, Ming Yuhua and the others went directly to Wangwu Cave Heaven, preparing for the upcoming replacement of the Three Great Hall Masters.

"I got it; I’ll go to the Kaiyuan Hall assembly,"

Chen Xingxing acknowledged, then hung up the phone and continued playing.

Late at night, Yu Tianguang was already meditating in the guard pavilion, while Chen Xingxing finally completed the latest story mode and felt he was merely wasting time.

As he stretched his lazy waist, preparing to perform a Void Teleportation back to the Sky Curtain Ground Network Management Bureau, he suddenly noticed the bird cage was empty.

Wondering why the dumb bird hadn’t returned, a green light flew back from the mountain like lightning, panicking and darted into the cage.

"What happened? Are there bird-hunting beasts in the mountain?"

Chen Xingxing teased slightly, but the azure bird was huddled into a ball in the cage, trembling as if encountered a predator.

"Old Yu, I’m leaving first; I have work at the unit in the morning."

Chen Xingxing didn’t pay much attention to the dumb bird, saw it was already 4 a.m., shouted towards the cabin, yawned, and began to apply for teleportation.

After Yunyang Bing’s Nascent Soul Formation, she was transferred from the Sky Curtain Ground Network Management Bureau to the Hall of Orthodox Law, making efforts toward the position of Orthodox Law Hall Master under the operations of the Weapon Dancing Sect, while Chen Xingxing succeeded Yunyang Bing’s position, currently possessing the highest authority of the Immortal Gate’s Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation in the absence of Yunhai True Monarch.

Even with such status, proper procedures still had to be followed.

"Remember to visit more often; I haven’t got long to live."

Yu Tianguang heard the movement, came out, and looking at the youthful Chen Xingxing, suddenly lamented.

In his peak years, he was delayed by the Devour God Technique. Though with Chen Mobai’s help, he removed the God Seed and gradually restored his cultivation level, but his foundation was greatly damaged, and forming a Nascent Soul was impossible.

Based on the Golden Core Cultivator lifespan, he was nearing the end. In recent years, he notably felt energy fading.

Because of this, whenever there was an event for the Dance Tool Dao Academy, the usually inactive Chen Xingxing returned to participate, knowing there wouldn’t be many more chances to see Yu Tianguang.

"Everyone dies; just rest easy. When the time comes, if you need any joss paper, just convey the message to the dumb bird in your dreams..."

Chen Xingxing joked, and Yu Tianguang couldn’t help but laugh.

At that moment, an odd stench blew from the mountain.
