I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2952 - 1381: The Truth (Part 2)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
"How is that possible?"
"It’s actually you!"
"Weren’t you supposed to have already perished and entered nirvana?"
Upon seeing the white-haired young man, Qian Xing and Wenren Xuewei’s faces were filled with shock, clearly not expecting the mastermind to be him.
Using the Heavenly Calculation Bead, Chen Mobai searched through all the teachers and students at Jumang Academy, quickly identifying the origin of the white-haired young man before him.
His name was Qiao Boyong.
He was once the Hall Master of Immortal Affairs among a generation of the Immortal Gate.
He was also a cultivator of the Lasting Spring Cultivation, who donated his remains after death to benefit the people of the Immortal Gate.
"No, you’re not him."
After checking the information, Chen Mobai shook his head and said this.
Because if Qiao Boyong had truly ascended to become Immortals using the Lasting Spring Cultivation, he definitely wouldn’t allow the Immortal Gate to dissect and study his body.
No matter how loving, an ascendant wouldn’t go to such lengths.
Moreover, within the Immortal Gate, having achieved transformation, there would be no need to hide. Directly taking over the Three Great Halls, or even controlling the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, would allow one to achieve their goals faster and do what they intended.
Even if it was to absorb planet essence for cultivating void using the Lasting Spring Cultivation, it would surely be easier from a high position.
"As expected of the greatest person the Immortal Gate has ever seen, old Evergreen, by seniority, I’m of the same generation as Yun Ya from your Weapon Dancing Sect."
Faced with Chen Mobai, Evergreen Ancestor did not play tricks, directly admitting and announcing his name.
As soon as he spoke, the members of the Immortal Gate exploded in surprise.
"One of the Five Ancestors of Xianmen actually survived?"
"Is this the profound mystery of the Lasting Spring Cultivation!"
"No wonder he could hide so deeply..."
Qian Xing’s face was grave, already holding the Nine Dragon Cauldron, ready to activate the Illusory Great Dao power he had painstakingly condensed over the years, to cooperate with the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation and attempt to suppress the Death God Incarnation again.
Because the pressure from Evergreen Ancestor made him feel second only to the Death God Incarnation throughout his two-thousand-year lifespan.
At the same time, Yunhai True Monarch thought of something, secretly operated the Sixth Rank Heavenly Calculation Bead, but soon his complexion changed dramatically: "No good, the Spirit of Great Chun is countering the Sky Curtain Ground Network!"
As the core of the Earth Network Great Formation, even though the Sixth Rank Great Chun was restrained by the formation and her power constantly siphoned, she could turn against the formation if she didn’t cooperate.
"Great Chun is my closest companion; she can never harm me."
Evergreen Ancestor smiled slightly, and then a rich, verdant spiritual light erupted not far away, exactly where Great Chun was located. The Sixth Rank Spiritual Energy of Great Chun fused endlessly with the Evergreen Qi within her, transforming into Immortal Qi containing vast vitality.
Chen Mobai had seen this kind of Immortal Qi in Pei Qingshuang, known as Longevity Immortal Spirit Light.
"Senior, please don’t aid the tyrant. I came to the Immortal Gate today to fulfill my promise to you, releasing you from the formation and granting you freedom."
Though aware that with Evergreen Ancestor resurrected, Great Chun Divine Tree, as his natal spiritual value, would certainly be on his side, Chen Mobai, considering old relations, decided to give her the opportunity to turn back.
"Pure Yang, you never intended to keep this promise. Don’t deceive her to sway Great Chun’s mind again, or you’ll greatly disappoint me, who once assessed you so highly."
The Spirit of Great Chun hadn’t expressed her stance yet, but Evergreen Ancestor already shook his head, expressing dissatisfaction with Chen Mobai’s continued dishonesty.
"I’m speaking with Senior Great Chun, not you."
Chen Mobai glanced expressionlessly at Evergreen Ancestor and then turned his gaze toward Jumang Academy where Great Chun Divine Tree was located, awaiting her response.
A green and white immortal light appeared next to Evergreen Ancestor, countless fresh flowers on the island converging, forming the image of the Spirit of Great Chun.
She shook her head at Chen Mobai, expressing her stance with Evergreen Ancestor: "I owe everything I have today to my master; even if I die, I want to be buried with him."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded lightly, indicating he understood her determination.
"Senior..." At this moment, Wenren Xuewei spoke with a trembling voice, a mix of reluctance and understanding, as she saluted the Spirit of Great Chun, saying, "I am a cultivator of the Immortal Gate. If Evergreen Ancestor truly intends to absorb the Earth Element Star essence to cultivate void, I must stand on the side of the Immortal Gate."
Listening to Wenren Xuewei’s statement, Qian Xing and others looked surprised, and Beiming Master was secretly ashamed.
Even Evergreen Ancestor and the Two Extremes found this a bit bewildering.
"Wenren, you’re capable of mastering the Lasting Spring Cultivation, making you my successor. Once I successfully cultivate void, the Earth Element Star will no longer be useful to me; then you will be the master of this planet, even eligible to join me at the Central Daoist Academy, pursuing the Longevity Immortal Realm. There’s no need to forsake your future."
Evidently, Evergreen Ancestor was very impressed with Wenren Xuewei.
Because even back at White Crane Dao Arena, the ones who could master the Lasting Spring Cultivation were few and far between in their sect.
Although confident in achieving cultivation of void, Evergreen Ancestor still wanted to leave behind a legacy, and Wenren Xuewei was the perfect choice.
"What use is a drained Earth Element Star to me? Besides, I am first Wenren Xuewei of the Immortal Gate, then Wenren Xuewei of Jumang Academy."
Listening to this, Beiming Master had already become ashamed of his previous actions against Wenren Xuewei.
Chen Mobai also showed admiration, thinking she truly was his kindred spirit, similar in character, embracing the realm of righteousness. In the future, she could shift to the Acquired Great Dao related to Saintly Virtue, potentially achieving even greater accomplishments.
"Master, can you spare her life?"
The Spirit of Great Chun couldn’t help but plead for Wenren Xuewei.
Others may not understand Evergreen Ancestor’s realm, but she, a tree that was his natal spiritual value, understood it best. He was long capable of stepping into the cultivation of void, only restrained due to lacking an incarnated body and sufficient spiritual energy.
Though prematurely emerging now, his Sixth Rank Divine Sense coupled with his Great Dao of Life could practically be considered an alternative kind of cultivating void.
Even though there are many divinity transformations in the present Immortal Gate, without the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, they could never match Evergreen Ancestor.
"Hmm, she’s just somewhat naive and inexperienced; I will shatter her cherished ideals to let her recognize reality."
Evergreen Ancestor gladly agreed to the Spirit of Great Chun’s request.
But this instead caused Wenren Xuewei’s brows to furrow in slight anger.
"I have one more question. Did Senior Great Chun already know the truth?"
Chen Mobai was prepared to take action but wanted to ensure no misunderstanding towards anyone good before doing so.
"She is simple-minded, only capable of sensing that I’m still alive. Throughout these thousands of years, it was only after Tao Hua left that I contacted her, fearing that she would discover my presence and that peers such as Wenren or those inspecting the Immortal Gate formations, like Yunhai, would discern the flaw."
The response still came from Evergreen Ancestor, and after hearing it, Chen Mobai nodded, showing comprehension.
"Then let us only execute the prime culprit."
As he spoke, Chen Mobai’s Divine Sense operated, and a Primordial Yang Sword, fully refined and polished, flew out from the Law Domain.
After undergoing the baptism at Purple Cloud Palace, this sword had attained supreme Saintly Virtue and was now Sixth Rank Superior Grade.
Since the Saintly Virtue Great Dao was already claimed, for the Primordial Yang Sword to reach Seventh Rank, it would have to choose the Acquired Great Dao related to Saintly Virtue.
Nevertheless, for the Primordial Yang Sword, this was already an immense blessing.
When it swore loyalty to Chen Mobai, it hoped at most to achieve Sixth Rank in its lifetime, but now the path to Seventh Rank had opened with multiple choices available.
"Pure Yang, shall I handle this?"
Just as the Primordial Yang Sword flew out, a voice very familiar to the Immortal Sect disciples emanated from the Law Domain.
A golden-haired Spiritual Venerable stepped out, his lips with a subtle smile, his eyes slightly narrowed and cold as he stared at Evergreen Ancestor.
