However, even if people knew about this matter, it wouldn’t matter much, because the connections of The Divine Machine Mansion reach the heavens.

“The previous master of The Divine Machine Mansion divined the heavenly secrets and foresaw the Way of God Transformation for the Leading Star Ancestor, but as a result suffered severe damage to his essential energy and soon passed away in meditation.”

“However, before passing away, the master of The Divine Machine Mansion left their lineage to both Leading Star Ancestor and his chosen successor, Zhai Zhaoyi. Sadly, Zhai Zhaoyi’s talent was mediocre. Although supported by the Leading Star Ancestor, he only managed to reach Golden Core Perfection before his lifespan ended, and he too passed away in meditation.”

“Before Zhai Zhaoyi passed away, due to his insufficient cultivation level, he was unable to foresee the future of The Divine Machine Mansion’s legacy, so he entrusted this matter to the Leading Star Ancestor. The Ancestor was able to successfully Ascend to become an Immortal and was deeply influenced by the karmic ties with The Divine Machine Mansion, so he specially exited seclusion to choose a successor for Zhai Zhaoyi within the Immortal Sect, continuing their lineage.”

As Ding Chundzhi reached this point in the story, Chen Mobai had a vague sense of understanding and looked towards Chen Chun on the stage, who seemed to have sensed his gaze. Her eyes, which were previously unfocused, lifted.

After their eyes met and they hesitated for a moment, they both very reservedly nodded their heads, greeting each other.

“So you mean to say, this Chen Chun is the disciple that Leading Star Ancestor took on behalf of Zhai Zhaoyi?”

Having heard this secret history, Chen Mobai also understood why Chen Chun had such confidence earlier, claiming that not even The Three Great Halls of Xianmen could determine the crimes of The Divine Machine Mansion.

“That’s not it. My teacher is the one who is Zhai Zhaoyi’s disciple in name.”

Ding Chundzhi shook his head and revealed something that surprised Chen Mobai greatly.

“Your teacher?”

“Yes, back then my teacher was also studying and advancing in the Repairing Heaven Institute. He was the only one of that era to master the Guidance Book, showing exceptional talent and astonishing understanding, and he also practiced the easy path of divination. With one glance, he was chosen by Leading Star Ancestor as the successor.”

“Dare I ask who your master is…”

“It is the headmaster of our Astral Observation Academy, Meihua Superior!”

Although Chen Mobai had already guessed the answer, after actually hearing Ding Chundzhi say it, he couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

Who would have thought that one of the fourteen Nascent Soul Superiors of Xianmen, who is highly respected and whose Observing Stars Technique can influence decisions of The Three Great Halls, would be the master of The Divine Machine Mansion.

No wonder Che Yucheng, when mentioning this lineage previously, specifically advised Chen Mobai to treat them with great respect.

“Who would have thought, the Antiquity Daoist System has already entered the Upper Echelons of the Immortal Sect…”

Amid his astonishment, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but wonder how many of the current fourteen Nascent Soul Superiors of Xianmen were influenced by the Antiquity Daoist System.

“Brother Chen misunderstands, although my teacher has received the legacy of The Divine Machine Mansion, he only uses it to enhance his own Observing Stars Technique, and he steadfastly maintains his identity as a disciple of the Immortal Gates, a student of the Astral Academy. He never dares to claim himself openly as the master of The Divine Machine Mansion.”

Who knew that after hearing Chen Mobai’s astonishment, Ding Chundzhi would repeatedly gesture with his hands and earnestly declare that one must absolutely never say such things outside.

“Oh, why is that? With Meihua Superior’s status in the Immortal Gates, it seems that even if people knew, it probably wouldn’t be a big deal. The Divine Machine Mansion’s reputation within the Immortal Gates is also positive. Having received the favor of Leading Star Ancestor, why not acknowledge it?”

Chen Mobai didn’t understand. If he had such a background, with a Huashen Ancestor backing him, he certainly would want the whole world to know, to see who would dare to bully him.

“Brother Chen, as long as The Divine Machine Mansion’s master is alive, Chen Chun is his disciple. By seniority, she is of the same generation as my teacher, Meihua Superior, and privately I even have to call her ‘Senior Uncle’.”

Hearing Ding Chundzhi’s words, Chen Mobai was a little surprised, but he quickly realized that it was normal for The Divine Machine Mansion, as a leader of the Antiquity Daoist System, to have many successors.

However, he hadn’t expected Chen Chun’s seniority to be so high, on par with the Meihua Superior of the Astral Observation Academy.

“So when you spoke of seniority, you’re the junior and she’s the senior.”

Chen Mobai opened his mouth in an enlightened yet wry chuckle.

After hearing this, Ding Chundzhi could only offer an embarrassed smile, and then he said something that made Chen Mobai’s eyes widen.

“Being able to call her ‘Senior Uncle’ is already me reaching above my station; I don’t even know if Leading Star Ancestor would be willing to acknowledge me as his grand-disciple.”

“`

“What did you say! Her teacher is Leading Star Ancestor!”

When Chen Mobai heard this statement, he indeed felt an unprecedented huge shock. His eyes widened as he looked towards Chen Chun on the stage, who at that time was already looking down, her eyes devoid of spirit, zoning out.

But at this moment, Fu Borong from the Repairing Heaven Institute happened to step onto the stage, as a representative of the Daoist Academy’s teachers to welcome this batch of new students.

Chen Mobai saw that as Fu Borong passed by Chen Chun’s side, he slightly lifted his hands that were placed behind his back, giving her a respectful gesture.

This was an ancient ritual of the Repairing Heaven Institute, used by the younger generation to greet their elders.

Chen Mobai took a sharp breath, feeling that brandishing the Purple Electric Sword at her seemed somewhat disrespectful before, wondering if he should find a way to apologize.

“The Divine Machine Mansion lineage has always been passed down from one generation to the next. Only in Leading Star Ancestor’s generation did an accident occur. The chosen successor was originally Zhai Zhaoyi, but Leading Star Ancestor needed the inheritance’s secret techniques of the Divine Machine Mansion to bolster the foundation for his God Transformation. So in order to create good karma and ensure the lineage did not come to an end, he passed it on to him.”

“After Leading Star Ancestor’s successful Divinity Transformation, remembering this kindness, he referred to Zhai Zhaoyi as a fellow Daoist brother. After the latter passed away in meditation, the Ancestor was the only living successor of the Divine Machine Mansion, so he took over the position of the Mansion Master.”

“Although my teacher Meihua Superior nominally was a disciple of Zhai Zhaoyi, her ability to achieve ‘Nascent Soul Formation’ was owing to the guidance and teachings of Leading Star Ancestor. Do you think my teacher would dare claim the title of Mansion Master of the Divine Machine Mansion while Leading Star Ancestor is still alive?”

Clearly, she wouldn’t dare!

After listening, Chen Mobai nodded lightly, but it was no wonder that Meihua Superior was so respected by The Three Great Halls of Xianmen. It turned out she was essentially a disciple of Leading Star Ancestor.

This status was indeed more dazzling than that of the Mansion Master of the Divine Machine Mansion.

Perhaps it was precisely because of the connection with Leading Star Ancestor that the Divine Machine Mansion lineage maintained such a positive reputation within the Immortal Sect.

In terms of contribution, the Ruyi Sect, which diligently deals with the trash produced by three billion cultivators every year, is thousands and thousands of times higher than the elusive Divine Machine Mansion.

“Are you certain that Chen Chun is a disciple of Leading Star Ancestor?”

Chen Mobai was still somewhat incredulous and asked again.

“Of course, ten years ago my teacher personally brought her over to the Astral Observation Academy, instructing me to call her Martial Uncle and take care of everything for her within the Scholarly Mansion. She also has a letter from the Ancestor which is said to contain the power of Divinity Transformation. However, I have only heard my teacher mention it.”

After hearing Ding Chundzhi’s statement, Chen Mobai felt once more that drawing the Purple Electric Sword on her last time was indeed too rude.

Thankfully, he hadn’t acted on it, because otherwise, not even a hundredfold Talents of Deification would suffice.

At the time, Chen Chun was so amenable, probably because she considered that he was the head of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.

Thank heavens, their Dance Tool Dao Academy also had a Huashen Ancestor.

Although Chen Mobai had never met Ancestor Baiguang in his life, at this moment, he was extremely grateful for the affiliation with this Ancestor.

At this instant, Chen Mobai felt proud to be a student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.

Ding Chundzhi: “Brother Chen, would you like to have a meal together? You are already acquainted with Martial Uncle Chen Chun…”

Chen Mobai: “No, no, I have already made arrangements with a friend.”

Ding Chundzhi: “Why not invite your friend to join us?”

Chen Mobai: “My friend tends to be quite reserved, and gets as cold as a fridge around people they’re not familiar with. Let’s forget it, I’ll invite you another day.”

The welcome ceremony had just ended when both Chen Mobai and Ding Chundzhi stood up at the same time. The latter eagerly invited him, but the former continually shook his head and waved his hands, hurrying over to Yan Bingxuan in a matter of moments.

Seeing the exceptional beauty and tall figure of the great beauty Yan Bingxuan, Ding Chundzhi couldn’t help but think of the rumors he had heard about Chen Mobai at Jumang Academy and silently cursed in his heart.

“Scumbag!”
