Chapter 2498 - 1118: Six Imperial Scriptures
Chapter 2498: Chapter 1118: Six Imperial Scriptures
At Yu Huiping’s funeral, almost all the notable figures from the Immortal Gate attended. The only Nascent Soul Cultivator missing was Qi Yuheng, who had to guard the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.
As a family member, Chen Mobai personally took the time to help Chen Xiaohei handle Yu Huiping’s final affairs.
Since Yu Huiping was from the Yu family in Yu Wood City, her final resting place was chosen to be there.
It suddenly started raining that day, and Chen Xiaohei cried her heart out.
"True Person Yu departed peacefully, her life was without regrets, we should feel happy for her."
Chen Mobai cast a Water Repelling Technique to comfort his daughter, who nestled in his arms, sobbing continuously.
Because of this event, Chen Mobai stayed at the Immortal Gate for some time, accompanying his daughter through the pain of losing a loved one.
Time quickly passed, and it had been half a year.
Chen Xiaohei’s personality seemed to mature suddenly, becoming more self-reliant. At work, she no longer slacked off, and at home, she even took the initiative to practice extra with the Mystic Finger Sword.
This brought great comfort to Chen Mobai; he had feared that after learning that Bai Guang was her mother, Chen Xiaohei would become unruly.
But now, she was moving in a better direction.
Her child had grown up!
At this moment, Chen Mobai, who had been worried whether his daughter would go astray without an elder by her side, finally felt at ease.
After another half-year of companionship, it was Chen Xiaohei who urged Chen Mobai not to stay home all the time, which finally allowed him to return to the Dance Tool Dao Academy with peace of mind.
Of course, before leaving, Chen Mobai went to see Qi Yuheng.
After comprehending the Mahayana Book, he had already understood the principles of the Law Domain. During the past year, while accompanying his daughter, he hadn’t been idle, spending most of his time discussing the Six Imperial Scripture with Qi Yuheng.
Because within the Immortal Gate, this Deity Transformation Technique contained the most information related to the Law Domain, it was the most comprehensive.
The contents recorded in the Mahayana Book are akin to a final stage’s perfect diagram but lack instructions on how to draw this diagram step by step. Therefore, Chen Mobai needed the Six Imperial Scripture to walk the Mahayana path.
Given Chen Mobai’s current realm, combined with the Law of the Five Tones, he could easily comprehend what is known as the most esoteric and profound Six Imperial Scripture in the Immortal Gate.
However, comprehending is one thing, cultivating it is another.
The foundation of the Law Domain lies in the Great Tao recorded in the Six Great Heavenly Books.
The Six Imperial Scripture, on the other hand, takes a unique path, using the Six Great Primordial Qi to evolve myriad phenomena and Qi, grasping the changes in the universe’s laws in one’s hand, the Primordial Spirit evolving into the realm of infinite transformations, and thus sublimating into the Law Domain.
For Chen Mobai, this was considered a roundabout way because he had already mastered the Great Tao on the Tian Shu of Universe, Purple Green, Phoenix Seal, and Dao Law. Once he comprehends and masters Taiyuan and Life and Death, he can directly ascend and achieve the Great Perfection of the Six Imperial Scripture, known as the "Law Domain."
But in the history of the Immortal Gate, there’s only one other like him.
Others, even those as extraordinarily talented as the ancestor Zhongli, had to painstakingly cultivate step by step, mastering the Six Great Primordial Qi recorded in the Six Imperial Scripture, and slowly allowing the Primordial Spirit to accommodate and evolve. But even so, they never sublimated into a true Law Domain.
For Chen Mobai, the easiest way to achieve the Law Domain is to put in the hard work to cultivate. Qi Yuheng believed that with Chen Mobai’s talent, sooner or later, he would be able to fully understand and integrate the Dao Rhythms recorded in the Tian Shu of Taiyuan and Life and Death.
If there were no other methods, Chen Mobai would have no choice but to do so.
But with Qi Yuheng as a successful example of taking a shortcut, Chen Mobai wasn’t quite willing to painstakingly cultivate step by step.
The Heaven and Earth Placenta contains the essence of a realm, and once refined, it’s equivalent to having the foundation of a Law Domain firmly established. Although he had initially promised to give it to Narcissus, Chen Mobai could comprehend what he needed from it before giving it away.
Thus, over the past year, Chen Mobai continuously inquired about Qi Yuheng’s insights and experiences in refining the Heaven and Earth Placenta, and the latter meticulously explained every detail.
It was precisely this period of exchange that let Qi Yuheng realize just how terrifying Chen Mobai’s aptitude for understanding was.
The same Six Imperial Scripture, Qi Yuheng had spent a lifetime cultivating to achieve his current realm, whereas Chen Mobai only needed a year. Although his current God-Transcending Realm provided a vantage point effect, it’s crucial to note that someone like Yunhai in the same realm far lacked this level of comprehension with the Six Imperial Scripture.
"According to the historical records of the Immortal Gate, there’s roughly fourteen years left until the time when the Purple Cloud Palace descends. By then, Lin Daoming surely won’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we can just take this moment to eliminate this menace before opening the war," Qi Yuheng mentioned something that brightened up Chen Mobai’s eyes.
Purple Cloud Palace!
I wonder if the seat he used to occupy during lectures is still there?
"The Purple Cloud Palace shifts here from the depths of the universe with the changes of the sun, moon, stars, and the celestial patterns of heaven and earth, so theoretically, we should now be able to observe changes in stellar phenomena caused by its approach," Chen Mobai collected all the content related to the Purple Cloud Palace in the Immortal Gate, and upon hearing Qi Yuheng mention it, he responded with a solemn expression.
"I’ll notify the relevant people to come over," Qi Yuheng nodded gently, then took out his phone and sent a few messages.
In no time, the Three Hall Masters from Wangwu Cave Heaven all arrived at Ambition Immortal Peak.
Besides them, there was also Meihua of the Astral Observation Academy, who, after Qian Xing, was the most knowledgeable about the changes in stellar phenomena throughout the Immortal Gate.
"Yes, True Monarch, I will be monitoring the stellar phenomena constantly,’ Meihua, upon hearing about this matter, also showed a serious expression, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
The Purple Cloud Palace descends once every twelve hundred years, and for Nascent Soul cultivators, waiting for this opportunity also depends on luck.
"You three cooperate with Meihua, and if you discover anything, report immediately."
Qi Yuheng said to the Three Hall Masters, and all three nodded.
Among them, the Orthodox Law Hall Master had already changed from Wenren Xuewei to Zhongli Tianyu.
At the end-of-year Kaiyuan Hall conference last year, although the Jumang Lineage rarely exploded with a wave of support for Pei Qingshuang’s competition, under the tacit alliance between the Kunpeng Lineage and the Patching Heaven Lineage, they were still defeated.
In this competition, the Weapon Dancing Sect maintained neutrality according to Chen Mobai’s intentions.
However, Pei Qingshuang did not leave empty-handed. At the very least, she assumed the position of Vice Hall Master of the Orthodox Law Hall.
This suggests that in the future, there may still be conflicts within the Orthodox Law Hall. But with so many Deity Transformation True Monarchs overhead, the struggle between two Nascent Souls won’t cause much chaos.
"Zhongli, keep an eye on the Ascension Sect as well. With the uncertainty of life and death in this upcoming war, there’s no need to leave these lingering issues unresolved."
Chen Mobai added. Since he successfully cultivated the Second Primeval Spirit and turned the Ascension Sect’s main camp planet into cosmic dust, aside from the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor and Shen Yu Xuan Master, the rest of the ancient evil path union is trivial, unable to influence the Immortal Gate like a catfish.
Might as well clear them out before the war.
Upon hearing this, Zhongli Tianyu nodded heavily, needing some accomplishments to prove himself, even if he can’t compare to Chen Mobai, at least surpass the previous Wenren Xuewei.
"If you find those Dragon and Tiger Ancestors, you can notify me to take action myself."
Leaving these words, Chen Mobai rose to bid farewell to Qi Yuheng, subsequently waving to everyone before transforming into a silver light and disappearing from the spot.
Upon returning to the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai found everything orderly, unchanged whether he was present or not.
After Cheng Xuan finished instructing Deng Daoyun, he had already returned to the weapons factory, leading the Immortal Gate’s official Artifact Refiners to upgrade those war artifacts.
When Chen Mobai returned, Deng Daoyun had just completed the elevation of his Lifespan Artifact.
"Director Deng, when I previously assumed the position of principal, it was primarily because there was no one suitable besides me in the Weapon Dancing Sect. Now that you’ve successfully formed your Nascent Soul, it’s time for you to take on the responsibility."
Chen Mobai showed no attachment to power, ready to hand over the Dance Tool Dao Academy to Deng Daoyun.
"True Monarch, I’ve just formed Nascent Soul; perhaps you should stay on a bit longer."
Deng Daoyun shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he might not be able to hold the principal position and needed time to adjust.
"Alright then, the next dozen or twenty years are bound to be tumultuous; I’ll prepare for the war after the Purple Cloud Palace descends, and at that time I’ll step down for you."
Chen Mobai nodded, accepting Deng Daoyun’s suggestion, embodying the virtue of listening to advice.
"Thank you, Principal!"
Deng Daoyun hurriedly thanked him.
As part of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Deng Daoyun had envisioned this moment after forming Nascent Soul, both eager and apprehensive.
After all, the past three principals all transcended to the spirit transformation realm.
Bai Guang, during the Dance Tool Dao Academy’s decline, also served as a principal and only stepped down after Cheng Xuan formed Nascent Soul.
Deng Daoyun understood he could not match the exceptional talents of Bai Guang and Chen Mobai; even compared to Cheng Xuan, he was slightly inferior.
He hoped to align with the Dance Tool Dao Academy, which produced three spirit transformation principals, for a chance to touch upon the spirit transformation realm.
Having handed all academy matters over to Deng Daoyun namesakes, Chen Mobai went to check the secluded rear mountain, ensuring harmonious coexistence between an elderly person, a youngster, and a bird, before returning to the Eastern Wilderness.
Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion.
Summoning his first disciple Liu Wenbo, Chen Mobai informed him of the Wood Spiritual Talisman’s effects and personally helped him refine it.
"This is a secret treasure used by the Holy Sons and Daughters of the Longevity Sect through generations, incredibly precious. Remember, do not let anyone know of it."
After listening to Chen Mobai’s words, Liu Wenbo nodded repeatedly, deeply moved, and swore immediately.
He knew well a talisman that could grant cultivators Heavenly Spiritual Root—if broadcasted, even as Chen Mobai’s disciple, he would likely be targeted by rogue cultivators worldwide.
Possibly even major sects from the East Land might send people.
"For us cultivators, ultimately our own cultivation level is paramount. Next, hand over tasks of lesser importance to your disciples..."
Liu Wenbo, over two hundred years old, had extended his life by two cycles due to practicing the Longevity Scripture, remaining at his peak.
But restricted by his Spiritual Root’s understanding and aptitude, his cultivation remained at the Core Formation Middle Stage, the lowest among four disciples.
Yet, this was due to his obedience, never using elixirs to boost cultivation, relying solely on refining spirit qi through bitter cultivation. With such solid foundations and now possessing the Wood Spiritual Talisman, he at least saw a glimmer of hope for Nascent Soul Formation.
"Disciple thanks Master for the grace!"
After Liu Wenbo left, Qing Nu, upon receiving Chen Mobai’s transmission, also emerged from seclusion.
