I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 3014 - 1413: The Origin Truth (Part 2)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
"A gap has appeared in the restrictive barrier of Fenjin Heaven, the Exiled Land of the West, allowing numerous evil demons to escape. They have used the methods of the Demon Path to beguile the Immortals of the Western Eight Heavens into corruption, inciting rebellion. I attempted to divine the future using the Great Dao of Destiny, yet found it shrouded in an impenetrable grey and black fog."
The Heavenly Emperor’s words caused the Void Heavenly Monarch to look grave.
Bear in mind, though the Heavenly Emperor is constrained by the laws of the Immortal Realm and cannot act on a whim, he is undoubtedly of the Pure Yang Realm. Even as a Seventh Rank True Immortal, one such as him can only use the Great Dao to protect himself against destiny and prevent the Heavenly Emperor from divining fate.
To encompass the entire Western Eight Heavens with a Great Dao to resist destiny would likely require at least Eighth Rank power or an Innate Great Dao that specifically counters destiny.
The Taixu True King, upon hearing this, also appeared surprised and raised his eyes to the West.
He observed the Endless Void, yet even he could only see many Immortals of the Western Eight Heavens falling into the Demon Path.
He could not discern what force could obstruct the Heavenly Emperor’s gaze.
"Seeing as it can hinder your destiny divination, it is evident there is a powerful figure of the Demon Path behind this. With the merging of the Three Realms imminent and the Three Thousand Great Dao becoming fully comprehensive, we must remain vigilant. Deploy the elite immortal soldiers and generals of the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Court, and quash the rebellion of the Western Eight Heavens in the shortest time possible to root out the mastermind."
The Taixu True King solemnly declared, to which the Heavenly Emperor nodded in acknowledgment.
"Let the Pure Heavenly King personally lead the troops; his Saintly Virtue Great Dao is the most effective against the methods of the Demon Path."
Upon hearing the Heavenly Emperor’s words, Chen Mobai’s heart stirred.
He realized that this Pure Heavenly King was indeed the Thousand-Autumn Saint.
Initially, upon hearing the title, he had thought it was the ancestor of the Pure Palace of the West Continent.
"Senior Brother, if there are no other matters, I shall return to Mi Luo Heaven first."
At this time, the Heavenly Emperor also took his leave, as the foundation of the Immortal Realm rested on his shoulders, and many affairs required his attention.
"Kongming, as the Void Heavenly Monarch, pay close attention to the rebellion of the Western Eight Heavens. There is nothing further here; accompany the Heavenly Emperor on his departure."
The Taixu True King nodded towards Kongming, who respectfully complied and followed the Heavenly Emperor out of Taixu Heaven.
"Upon my return, I will address my junior brother’s matters as a priority."
As the Heavenly Emperor departed, he promised Chen Mobai.
Chen Mobai offered his gratitude.
Once the Heavenly Emperor had left, Chen Mobai also expressed his thanks to the Taixu True King, "I owe a great debt to you, Senior Brother, for this matter."
The Taixu True King merely offered a faint smile, "It was only right; had you not entered the Purple Cloud Palace, I would have certainly accepted you as a disciple after your Cultivation of Void."
"What a pity that is," Chen Mobai remarked, though he couldn’t hide the smile that spread across his face in happiness, "When did you first start paying attention to me, Senior Brother?"
"When you offered incense in front of my idol back then, I possessed the person from the Eastern Wilderness and gave you a little push from behind."
This remark from the Taixu True King caused Chen Mobai’s eyes to widen.
So it was Taixu True King’s hand behind Liu Yanpei’s inexplicable push back then.
"I owe all of my achievements today to you, Senior Brother."
Chen Mobai immediately stood up and expressed his gratitude once more towards the Taixu True King.
"One can only say your fortune is better than that person from the Eastern Wilderness. After the dissolution of the Mystic Palace and Gui Ling Junior Sister’s demise, her Turtle Shell Dao Pattern unknowingly drifted into this world, and I could not find a trace of it either."
"However, I devised a solution to sculpt my idol holding a Heaven Measuring Ruler in one hand and a Turtle Shell in the other. Over the long ages, someone in the East Continent found this Turtle Shell, and upon creating a sculpture of me, used it outright."
"When it came into my possession, its whereabouts could no longer be concealed. After studying it, I discovered that while Gui Ling Junior Sister had undergone Dao Transformation, due to her half-step Creation Realm, a remnant True Spirit had escaped amidst the dissolution, instinctively summoning this Turtle Shell imbued with the Creation Dao Fruit. At that time, a cultivator with a similar Void Spirit Pattern entered the Taixu Temple where I obtained the Turtle Shell, and I lent his hand to send the Turtle Shell to the Earth Element Star."
"But he was an unfortunate soul; it wasn’t until sending it over that I realized Junior Sister’s remnant spirit had not yet reincarnated, instinctively drawing the planetary essence of the Earth Element Star to repair itself. I refrained from interfering and let nature take its course."
"Later, on your planet, someone managed to attract what they called Fetal Transformation Essence to merge with a baby, excavating numerous fragments of the Furnace of Life from the earth, and coincidentally, the fragment combined with Qing Nu carried Gui Ling Junior Sister’s remnant spirit."
"And then, you were born. Shortly after birth, your mother brought you to my Taixu Temple for blessings, and I immediately discerned the Void Spirit Pattern within you, identifying you as a Void Spirit Body. At that moment, I understood your birth’s mission was to deliver the Turtle Shell in my possession to Junior Sister’s reincarnated body."
"However, even with a single Void Spirit Pattern, the burden was too great for you, which is why you nearly died from an illness as a child."
"At eighteen, when you came to offer incense, I felt the time was right and placed the Turtle Shell in your hands."
"I didn’t anticipate how things would unfold afterward; destiny can be so unpredictable."
"Nevertheless, witnessing your growth step by step has been rather intriguing and inspired a thought to take you as a disciple. When I appeared at the Beidou Conference through Void Illusion, aside from giving you the four volumes of the Taixu Heavenly Book, I also secretly activated the Turtle Shell’s Dao Pattern, using your Void Spirit Pattern as a foundation to reflect all Void Spirit Patterns within you, completing them into a whole."
With the Taixu True King’s words concluded, all of Chen Mobai’s doubts were thoroughly clarified.
The truth from the beginning had been revealed.
Yet what shocked him the most was the revelation that he truly possessed the Void Spirit Body.
This was why he had been chosen as the intermediary to deliver the Turtle Treasure.
"No wonder when I was gravely ill as a child, the hospital couldn’t detect any issues, attributing it instead to qi deficiency—a result of my body being incomplete and unable to bear the Void Spirit Pattern."
Chen Mobai muttered to himself.
Back then, the hospital suspected some hidden special constitution but equipment in such a small place could not possibly detect a Void Spirit Pattern. After checking against all the common Spiritual Bodies noted by the Immortal Gate and finding no match, they proceeded with treatment for qi deficiency.
After years of medicinal nourishment, Chen Mobai managed to pull through.
Recalling his past, Chen Mobai thought of the first time he met Qing Nu. She worked in a pharmacy, bearing a subtle medicinal scent, which brought back the painful memories of his childhood medicine-taking.
Looking back now, meeting Qing Nu after obtaining the Turtle Treasure was destined.
However, their becoming a Daoist couple was completely beyond the Pure Yang True King’s expectations.
Yet, as time passed, the Taixu True King observed Chen Mobai’s resilient character and strong will to seek the Dao. Coupled with the Void Spirit Pattern, he considered offering Chen Mobai the chance to apprentice under him. Upon Chen Mobai’s ability to bear the complete Void Spirit Pattern reflection, the King manifested through the Void Illusion to the lower realm and passed the four volumes of Taixu, establishing their bond.
Unexpectedly, Chen Mobai later entered the Purple Cloud Palace and even sat on the very mat that once belonged to Gui Ling.
This development left the Taixu True King with no choice but to abandon the plan of taking him as a disciple and adhere to the standards of the Purple Cloud Palace for Chen Mobai.
Thus originally, the Taixu True King intended not to meet Chen Mobai unless he attained Harmonization.
Yet he hadn’t foreseen that Chen Mobai, through relentless progress in cultivation, would steadily approach the truth, even ascending to seek answers from him directly.
Since Chen Mobai had come to him already, the Taixu True King thought, should he shut him out, once Chen Mobai reached Harmonization and they established the senior and junior brother bond, a rift might form.
After much deliberation, the Taixu True King decided to meet with Chen Mobai and reveal the truth to him.
