I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 3073 - 1455: Broken Sword (Part 2)

"Besides, I’ve already cultivated the Mystic Finger Sword to the Sixth Rank. Our daughter has been guided by it since she was little and is highly compatible with it..."

Chen Mobai reasoned with Bai Guang: for a Sword Cultivator, having one Sword is enough. Although Chen Xiaohei wasn’t a pure Sword Cultivator like Bai Guang, the Heartless Sword really wasn’t suitable for her.

"You’re right. Then for this matter, we’ll go with what you say." When it came to something that concerned their daughter’s future, Bai Guang could still listen.

"Oh right, my lady, if you truly like Swords, I still have a Purple Electric Sword. It just so happens to carry the Great Dao of Destruction and has already reached the Sixth Rank. On days you’re not using the Destroying Dao Heavenly Axe, you can use it instead..."

Chen Mobai currently had too many Magic Artifacts on hand. Leaving aside the Purple Cloud Palace, that Innate Saintly Virtue Treasure, over in the Tianhe Realm there was also the Seventh Rank Primordial Golden Dou, and the Primordial Yang Sword and the others were all being refined in the World of Darkness to match his corresponding Great Dao. In the future they’d at least be Half-step Seventh Rank.

The Purple Electric Sword, in his hands, basically had no chance to appear on stage anymore.

Still, considering its many years of hard work and great merit, Chen Mobai decided to arrange a good future for it.

With the Destroying Dao Heavenly Axe in Bai Guang’s hand, if she could achieve Harmonization in the future, then the Purple Electric Sword would be able, just like the Lingxiao Immortal Armor, to merge with the Acquired Great Dao related to Destruction and advance to the Seventh Rank as a Treasure of Dao.

"Purple Electric Sword? Back then when I asked that Sword to follow you, it really was the greatest stroke of fortune in its life."

Hearing that the Purple Electric Sword had already reached the Sixth Rank, Bai Guang couldn’t help feeling gratified and nodded.

"Huh? You asked it to follow me?"

After hearing Bai Guang’s words, Chen Mobai wore a confused look, indicating: what’s going on here?

"Back when we were over at the Mountain and Sea Academy, my Reincarnated Body was there too, remember? At that time I was ignorant and impulsive; I injected fourteen strands of Sword Qi into White Stone and exposed my identity. Hao Cao even thought I was going to take the Purple Electric Sword, put me on the list, and also found a few other small Sword Dao prodigies to cover it up."

"In the end, when the Purple Electric Sword resonated with me, it sensed my peerless Sword Dao talent and wanted to recognize me as its master."

"But I was a total love-brain back then. I felt that since you’d come to the Mountain and Sea Academy, this Sword ought to belong to you, so I refused the Purple Electric Sword’s attempt to recognize me and let it fly off to find you."

Bai Guang smiled as she spoke of that past incident.

In that instant, Chen Mobai recalled that when the Purple Electric Sword came to recognize its master, it hadn’t flown in his direction at first.

According to the Purple Electric Sword’s explanation, it had "gotten the direction wrong."

Only now did he realize that the brat had gone to find Shi Wanyu first thing, and only came to him after being rejected by her.

"So that’s how it is. Damn, that brat actually fooled me for hundreds of years."

After listening, Chen Mobai couldn’t help cursing, feeling that he’d thought among all his Magic Artifacts, that little Purple Electric Sword was the most loyal and devoted.

"Judge by deeds, not by heart. It has at least helped you quite a bit."

Bai Guang instead spoke in defense of Purple Electric, secretly thinking that once they got back, she’d ask the Purple Electric Sword about whether Chen Mobai had been fooling around with any improper women during the years she’d been away.

"Let’s not talk about this. Let’s first think about how we’re going to get out."

Being as sharp as he was, from Bai Guang’s abnormal reaction Chen Mobai immediately thought of the fact that the Purple Electric Sword had followed him through a lifetime of battles and knew almost all his secrets.

Leaving everything else aside, if just Qing Nu’s existence were to be found out by Bai Guang, she’d probably start a huge fight on the spot.

[When we get back, I’ll find an excuse and say the Purple Electric Sword encountered a powerful enemy in a battle and got broken.]

Chen Mobai had already thought up a reason for keeping the Purple Electric Sword in the Tianhe Realm forever.

"If this Apocalypse Great Mill is the core of this Primordial Heaven, would splitting it apart let us get out?"

Bai Guang voiced her thoughts, lifting the Destroying Dao Heavenly Axe in her hand and aiming at the sunken axe mark on the grinding disc, planning to use the simplest, most straightforward method.

"It might work, but it might also cause this Primordial Heaven to completely collapse, burying the two of us with it."

Chen Mobai himself didn’t really care; after all, what he had here was merely an incarnation.

But Bai Guang was her True Body. Although he didn’t want this wife to go back, he wouldn’t deliberately push her into the abyss either.

"Then what should we do?"

Just as Bai Guang was feeling troubled, Chen Mobai started reading through the Annihilation Celestial Demon’s inheritance.

The Destroying Dao Heavenly Axe had brought Bai Guang here, and the Apocalypse Great Mill had delivered this inheritance. The key to getting out was very likely hidden within this.

Previously, in the Dao Kaleidoscope, Chen Mobai had already comprehended the Primordial Heaven Demon’s truth. Drawing inferences from that, he quickly understood the Annihilation Celestial Demon Technique.

The so-called Demon Path is indeed fundamentally different from the Mystic Gate’s Creation and Cultivation Method left behind by the Purple Cloud Daoist Venerable.

In the Mysterious Gate, Eighth Rank Pure Yang is the union of two opposing Innate Great Dao, with mana and Divine Skills infinite and immeasurable.

By contrast, the Demon Path uses one’s own Great Dao as the foundation. Starting from Seventh Rank Immortal, one begins to refine the Three Thousand Great Dao, scattering into billions of thoughts, with the Stars anchoring Heart and Mind. In that process, one uses the remaining Three Thousand Great Dao to make up for one’s own foundation, ultimately achieving Immortality.

For example, the Demon Lord’s Primordial Dao is based on the End of Destiny Great Dao. It can freely oppose the Great Dao that his Seventy-Two Forms have merged with End of Destiny, possessing power and Realm on par with Pure Yang.

Precisely because of this, the essence of the Demon Lord’s Eighth Rank Realm could change at any time. Against any Pure Yang opponent, he could wield the most restraining Great Dao in battle, rampaging across the Universe, supposedly invincible.

This was the boast left behind by the Demon Lord when Chen Mobai comprehended the Primordial Truth.

But knowing that the Demon Lord’s final outcome was being sealed by the Taixu Ancestor, Chen Mobai didn’t quite buy it.

In this Universe, the strongest definitely had to be the lineage of their Purple Cloud Palace.

As for the Annihilation Celestial Demon Technique, its only difference from the Primordial Heaven Demon’s lies in the core: it replaces the End of Destiny Great Dao with the Annihilation Great Dao.

Similarly, there was the "Great Freedom Heavenly Son" technique that Chen Mobai had obtained back on Cangliu Star.

That was left behind by Brother Ci Bei, with its core again replaced by "Innate Killing Destiny."

"This Great Freedom Heavenly Son technique, if I remember correctly, you were the one who obtained it first."

Thinking of this, Chen Mobai recalled that the Spiritual Venerable had said Bai Guang casually picked a planet and then discovered Cangliu Star. Later, after she chose the Great Dao of Destruction, she handed that inheritance over to the Spiritual Venerable.

"That did happen."

Hearing what Chen Mobai said, Bai Guang nodded, remembering the incident.

[Why does it feel like Brother Ci Bei intended to leave the inheritance to her?]

Looking at Bai Guang, Chen Mobai silently mused, then glanced at the Destroying Dao Heavenly Axe in her hand, becoming even more suspicious about her origins.

For someone with a background like hers, the only person Chen Mobai could think of was himself.

He had the Pure Yang Scroll passed down by the Purple Cloud Daoist Venerable, Turtle Treasure, that Ninth Rank Creation Treasure, and the Purple Cloud Palace, that Eighth Rank Innate Saintly Virtue Treasure.

"My lady, since we’re husband and wife, we ought to be completely open with each other. Think carefully: in your cultivation path, were there any particularly strange occurrences? Try to recall them."

Considering that Bai Guang could make Ci Bei leave behind an inheritance, and that the Destroying Dao Heavenly Axe had taken the initiative to come to her, her background had to be significant, likely tied to their Purple Cloud Palace lineage. He planned to use her memories to reflect against his three entries into the Purple Cloud Palace and find some clues.

When Bai Guang first heard Chen Mobai talk about "being open," her delicate face flushed slightly red, but after hearing the latter half of the sentence, she realized she’d misunderstood and unconsciously let out a breath of relief.

"There actually is something. When I was little, I often had a recurring dream: in it I was a broken Sword, only the blade remained, with no hilt. This went on until after I entered the Dance Tool Dao Academy, when the dream suddenly disappeared..."

Bai Guang recalled that dream that had entangled her since childhood. Every time she closed her eyes, there would be a snow-white, jade-like Broken Sword, hanging straight above her head.

At first, she would wake up drenched in cold sweat, but as time went by, she got used to it, and her Sword Dao talent began to reveal itself, making her the first Void Practitioner in the history of the Immortal Gate to cultivate with Sword Dao.

"Broken Sword!"

Hearing those two words, Chen Mobai suddenly thought of what he had obtained from the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree.
