I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 3122 - 1483: Journey to the Mystic Palace_2
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Seeing this, Spiritual Venerable also nodded, indicating that he would escort Chen Xiaohei back to the Immortal Gate together with Qian Xing.
The main reason was his care for his own niece; using the chance to observe the Morning Bell was just a bonus.
On the way back, Chen Xiaohei finally learned that the earth‑shaking noise in the Universe just now had been the Harmonization phenomenon of her own old man.
And the Morning Bell left to her was a Seventh Rank Treasure of Dao that the Immortal Gate had never possessed before.
In that instant, Chen Xiaohei felt her future was bright and full of Light. At the same time, the tiny bit of ambition she’d still had completely vanished once she knew she now had a Harmonization father.
Though the image of her extremely strict mother Bai Guang flashed through her mind, Chen Xiaohei felt that, since her dad loved her so much and had now Harmonized, he would definitely be able to suppress and persuade her mother.
"Ahem, two Martial Uncles, I feel like the burden on me has been a bit heavy lately, rather exhausting. Now that the Thunder Swamp Great Demon matter is settled, why don’t we pick a capable junior Nascent Soul among the younger generation to inherit the position of Kaiyuan Hall Master..."
Chen Xiaohei voiced her thoughts to Qian Xing and Spiritual Venerable, who were escorting her. The two had originally still been somewhat apprehensive about Bai Guang; at this moment, they showed no hesitation at all and nodded in unison.
"Whichever one you want to take over, we’ll arrange it as soon as we get back."
...
Chen Mobai naturally didn’t know that right after he Harmonized, his daughter was already thinking about lying flat.
But he, as a father, had already endured all the hardship of cultivation himself.
Besides, he had always advocated happy education; even if he knew, he wouldn’t say anything. Playing the bad cop should be left to Bai Guang as the mother in the future.
The Void flowed, and in the span of a breath Chen Mobai crossed one Star System after another, quickly approaching the Xuanhu arena.
This place had already been affected by the Destruction Tribulation: pitch‑black vortices appeared out of nowhere across the Cosmic Starry Sky like blotches, devouring and Annihilating the energy of every planet that drew near.
"Hm?"
Chen Mobai halted in front of one gigantic pitch‑black vortex, because he spotted a familiar Magic Artifact.
Cangsheng Pot.
This Treasure of Dao of the Xuanhu arena was being sucked in by the vortex of the Destruction Tribulation. Although it radiated endless Spiritual Light, it was unable to break free and was being drawn step by step toward the depths of the vortex.
Seeing this scene, Chen Mobai’s expression involuntarily turned grave.
He hadn’t expected the Destruction Tribulation of the Mystic Palace to have already erupted to such a degree, that even a Treasure of Dao dragged into it was unable to escape.
Activating the authority of the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, Chen Mobai saw that within the Cangsheng Pot were familiar faces such as Cheng Yunlan and Qi Yuheng.
He struck out at once.
Qianqiu Yuan Yang Ruler extended out of the Void; within the Purple Cloud Universe and under the blessing of the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, it transformed into a Purple Jade Long Bridge spanning the starry heavens, piercing into the gigantic pitch‑black vortex.
Soon, one end of the Purple Jade Long Bridge accurately landed at the mouth of the Cangsheng Pot.
However, this Treasure of Dao, in order to keep the Power of Annihilation from invading, had long since completely sealed itself off, planning to fall into the black‑hole vortex and resist it head‑on; only Xuanhu Daoist Monarch personally coming would be able to open it.
Once Chen Mobai sensed this, he unfolded the authority of the Saintly Virtue Great Dao and in an instant seized control of Xuanhu Daoist Monarch’s Great Dao.
Boundless holy Light flickered, the pot’s mouth opened, and Qianqiu Yuan Yang Ruler immediately dropped inside.
"Master, is that you back?!"
And at the very instant the Cangsheng Pot opened, Xuanming Cheng Yunlan and the other disciples of Xuanhu Daoist Monarch gathered at the mouth of the pot with delighted faces.
But when they saw a stranger’s Purple Jade Ruler thrust in, their expressions changed drastically in unison.
Just as they thought they were about to perish in the Annihilation Black Hole, a figure shining with boundless clear Light appeared outside the mouth of the pot, and the Power of Annihilation that had been instant death for them didn’t dare enter within three feet of that figure’s body.
As Xuanming and the others hesitated, wondering which elder from the Central arena it might be, a familiar voice came from outside the Cangsheng Pot: "Everyone, long time no see. How come you’re stuck here?"
Nascent Soul Cultivators have perfect recall; Xuanming, Cheng Yunlan, and Song Qingyi rummaged through their memories and immediately found the source of this voice, their faces all filled with shock and disbelief.
"Senior, is this your Daoist Monarch True Body?"
In the end it was Song Qingyi who opened her mouth, trembling, and asked Chen Mobai standing at the mouth of the pot.
Anyone able to ignore the Destruction Tribulation had to be at least a Seventh Rank True Immortal.
But the Chen Mobai she knew was very young, and coupled with being a country bumpkin from Earth Element Star, it should have been absolutely impossible for him to Harmonize in such a short time. So in her view, the Chen Mobai she’d known must have been just an incarnation that this senior used to wander the Mortal Realm, while his True Body was an Innate Daoist Monarch of the Central arena.
If she thought of it that way, whether it was his Central origin or a Taixu Lineage True Immortal personally coming to receive him, everything made sense.
"You’ve misunderstood, Fellow Daoist. The one you knew before was my True Body. I just happened to have good luck and, in this great tribulation of all beings in the Universe, succeeded in Harmonization. Right now I’m planning to hurry to the depths of the Mystic Palace to aid Senior Brother Taixu. I suppose it’s a bit of fated coincidence that I ran into you all on the way."
As Chen Mobai spoke, he also discovered that the Annihilation Black Hole vortex here was unable to harm him as an Innate Daoist Monarch, so he simply stepped directly in along the Purple Jade Ruler.
"We pay our respects to Senior!"
At the sight of him, all of Xuanhu Daoist Monarch’s Nascent Soul disciples performed great bows.
"I’ll make a move to pull the Cangsheng Pot out; you mustn’t try to activate the Dao Treasure to resist."
Chen Mobai gave a small nod and, after greeting them, drove the Qianqiu Yuan Yang Ruler to exert force from outside, fishing the Cangsheng Pot out of the black‑hole vortex.
Under the authority of the Saintly Virtue Great Dao he had already seized control of Cangsheng Pot, but he was worried Xuanming and the others might not know what was good for them and think the Dao Treasure had lost control; if they made a move, they could be countered by the Great Dao.
"Yes, Senior!"
Xuanming immediately nodded respectfully, and he also noticed that the Cangsheng Pot was no longer under his own control, silently thinking to himself: [This Senior must be my master’s close friend, probably someone who attended lectures together in Purple Cloud Palace, otherwise he wouldn’t know the Sacramental Refinement Mantra of Cangsheng Pot.]
Buzz buzz buzz!
Under Chen Mobai’s Saintly Virtue Great Dao, Cangsheng Pot was quickly levered out of the black‑hole vortex by Qianqiu Yuan Yang Ruler.
In the process, however, Chen Mobai discovered that deep within the vortex there was a strange Power of the Great Dao, merging with the surrounding Power of Annihilation to form a terrifying suction force, trying to keep Cangsheng Pot from escaping.
"So that’s how it is; I was wondering..."
Once Chen Mobai detected this, his expression turned clear with understanding.
The Destruction Tribulation here was just an aftershock; its power was only enough to annihilate a Sixth Rank Nascent Soul Cultivator. Cangsheng Pot, as a Seventh Rank Treasure of Dao, driven by disciples of a Daoist Monarch like Xuanming, should theoretically have been able to escape. But because there was another Seventh Rank existence secretly taking action, they had ended up trapped here.
"Evil demon of the outer path, come out and die!"
Chen Mobai snorted coldly, swept his sleeve, and sent out a Sword. Primordial Yang Sword turned into a dazzling line of gold and in an instant sliced into the deepest part of this black‑hole vortex.
Rumble!
With a roar, the vortex twisted, and pitch‑black Flames erupted like magma.
A tall Cultivator wearing a black Flame robe, with thick brows and black beard, stepped out of the Annihilation Black Hole. He frowned and looked at the handsome young man standing atop the Cangsheng Pot.
"Saintly Virtue!?"
Hei Shen Daoist Monarch lifted the palm that had been run through by Primordial Yang Sword, his face faintly shocked.
As a Seventh Rank holder of the Demon Lord inheritance, he understood better than any True Immortal what this Innate Great Dao represented.
"You’re actually something of a talent. Not only did you Harmonize your Primordial Spirit, your flesh body is also Seventh Rank, and your cultivation is Li Flame Heavenly Demon from among the Three Thousand Demon Paths, isn’t it?"
At the instant Hei Shen Daoist Monarch appeared, Chen Mobai used the authority of the Saintly Virtue Great Dao to see through all his particulars.
"You..."
Hei Shen Daoist Monarch wanted to say something, but Chen Mobai had no desire to waste time. He drew out Primordial Golden Dou, and swirling golden Light spread out to envelop the man before him.
