I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 830: Chapter 469 Elder Yuanxu_2 Chapter 830: Chapter 469 Elder Yuanxu_2 “The source of this ‘Realm Artifact’ is none other than the Formless Puppet you’re quite familiar with,”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but show shock on his face. He had not expected that Elder Yuanxu had been researching this project over the years.

If it could indeed be completed, it would no doubt be another huge push for the Immortal Gate.

Within the Immortal Gate now, the stage of Foundation Establishment has basically been thoroughly explored.

If the later stages of Core Formation, ‘Nascent Soul Formation’, and even Divinity Transformation could be precisely predicted, then with the depth of cultivators in the Immortal Gate, it might even lead to a major explosion of breakthroughs by top-ranked cultivators.

However, further thinking made Chen Mobai realize that even if that were the case, due to the scarcity of resources on Di Yuan Star, things would probably remain the same, with only a slight improvement at most.

After all, even now with the Foundation Establishment Artifact, those who are supposed to fail will still fail.

The difference is that previously one would fail amidst confusion but still harbored a glimmer of hope during the breakthrough, whereas now one would know they’re fated to fail even before attempting Foundation Establishment, making it even more disheartening.

But after thinking it through once more, if the Realm Artifact were truly successfully researched, it would unquestionably be more beneficial than disadvantageous for the cultivators of the Immortal Gate.

Many cultivators, who originally had fifty-fifty chances of Foundation Establishment, could take the opportunity presented by this predictive device to pinpoint their deficiencies and defects in their breakthrough efforts, thus defying the heavens and changing their fate.

However, for those cultivators who truly have no chance of breaking through, this would be useless.

After all, the Realm Artifact was not meant for them in the first place.

At least, the Foundation Establishment Artifact that the Immortal Gate commonly utilizes is mainly for the students of the Four Great Daoist Sects and the Ten Great Academies. If there are any overlooked talents in the Bai Er Shi Fu, heads of their academies might help apply for its use.

The Immortal Gate would not afford those who are beyond help the chance to use the Realm Artifact.

After all, resources on Di Yuan Star are too precious.

But after learning of this, Chen Mobai’s heart started pounding with excitement.

He had just completed the Ninth Layer of the Pure Yang Scroll for Foundation Establishment. Could he perhaps use this Realm Artifact to simulate his chances of successfully forming his Core?

With such thoughts, he grew even more eager for his upcoming meeting with Elder Yuanxu.

“We’re here.”

Soon enough, Fu Borong led Chen Mobai to an underground laboratory. He opened the door to a sealed space, and a rich stream of Spiritual Energy greeted them.

By Chen Mobai’s estimation, this was at least Rank-4 Spiritual Energy.

Only a project overseen by a Nascent Soul Superior could boast such extravagance.

He followed Fu Borong into changing into a white lab coat designed for research, passed through a glass-lined corridor, opened another small door, and entered into a vast oval-shaped space.

Inside were five people, among them a faceless puppet stood at the center.

When Chen Mobai entered, the four people beside the Formless Puppet all turned to look. He recognized two of them; they were Ding Chundzhi and Chen Chun.

The only one who didn’t look back was a middle-aged man with a bald head.

Fu Borong respectfully approached him and called out, “Headmaster.”

So he was Elder Yuanxu.

Chen Mobai quickly bowed his head in greeting as well.

“Hmm, come over and take a look. It seems there are quite a few issues; it’s stopped functioning,”

Turning around, Elder Yuanxu appeared to be an average-looking middle-aged man with a pair of flat glasses, stubble on his face, and an unkempt appearance. But most striking was his shiny bald head at the center of his hair.
Based purely on appearance, one would never guess he was the leading scientific mind within the Immortal Gate.

After nodding, Chen Mobai immediately moved over to his side and began examining the Formless Puppet.

It seemed to have been replicated by the Repairing Heaven Institute following the designs, but the person who had worked on it was clearly a master. They had substituted some materials without affecting the functionality.

As Chen Mobai continued his inspection, he found that many internal components of the Formless Puppet seemed to have undergone a high-temperature burning; they were beginning to liquefy, and the fragile bionics materials had even turned black and shriveled.

“This probably can’t be repaired. It’s completely wrecked,”

Anyway, with Chen Mobai’s level of knowledge, even if he were to repair it, he estimated that he would have to replace about eighty to ninety percent of the components of this Formless Puppet, which basically amounted to making a new one.

“It seems that simulating the ‘Nascent Soul Formation’ process is still not feasible,” he said.

After hearing Chen Mobai’s assessment, Elder Yuanxu shook his head with a bit of regret. Mobai twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, finally understanding why this Formless Puppet had become like this.

“Although the Formless Puppet is a Third-Rank Peak puppet, the process of ‘Nascent Soul Formation’ is an evolution from the third to the fourth rank. Even if it were possible to simulate this process, the materials of the puppet would definitely be unable to withstand it,” Chen Mobai said.

Actually, he had previously secretly wondered whether he could use a Formless Puppet to simulate and deduce his own Core Formation process.

After all, with sufficient spiritual energy, the Formless Puppet could achieve the strength of a Rank-3, but due to the lack of theory and relevant operating experience, this was just an idea.

Unexpectedly, Elder Yuanxu had already put it into action, and the results were quite remarkable.

“The Immortal Gate refuses to approve the materials for Rank-4, so it seems we can only bring out the Realm Treasure’s simulation of Core Formation to see if we can persuade Leading Star Ancestor to intervene and exert some pressure,” Elder Yuanxu said, not minding that Chen Mobai was present, speaking very directly.

Fu Borong, on the other hand, felt somewhat embarrassed after hearing this.

“How long will it take to repair this one?”

At that moment, Elder Yuanxu pointed to a corner on the wall. A glass door rose up, revealing another damaged Formless Puppet.

However, this one had only about a dozen parts burnt out. With some effort from Chen Mobai, it could be fixed in roughly one day and one night.

“This one broke during the simulation of Core Formation.”

Ding Chundzhi walked over and explained to Chen Mobai, as Elder Yuanxu had already taken out another intact Formless Puppet and started to attempt the simulation of Core Formation with a few others.

“You divination experts, how did you also join this project?”

Chen Mobai was quite surprised to see Ding Chundzhi and Chen Chun here.

After all, scientific research is a very serious and material matter, completely different from their idealistic ways.

“By utilizing the Formless Puppet’s deduction of cultivation techniques, along with the wondrous calculation of the Divine Machine Powers from the Antiquity Daoist System, and the integration with the Guidance Book of Repairing Heaven Institute, we have the three theoretical foundations of the Realm Treasure,” Ding Chundzhi said, pointing at Chen Chun to indicate that she was mainly responsible.

“This girl, when I asked her to calculate a divination for me before, she was coy, saying something like she only does three divinations a day and wouldn’t do it without fate…” Chen Mobai couldn’t help but complain. If the Realm Treasure really did come to fruition, wouldn’t The Divine Machine Mansion be performing divinations for all the High-Order Cultivators at Foundation Establishment Completion in the whole Immortal Gate?

“Elder Yuanxu personally invited her over, she couldn’t refuse. You, the leading disciple of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, also came to study, didn’t you?”

“It’s different for me; I wanted to come on my own.”

Chen Mobai made it clear that he was actively invited, but speaking of which, he finally realized why Fu Borong, with his status, would come to the Dance Tool Dao Academy to invite him to study.

It was likely that Elder Yuanxu was also behind this.

Possibly from the moment he placed an order for the Rank-3 Core Chip for his Formless Puppet, he had already been included in the plans for this project.

If he hadn’t accepted the invitation, there would probably have been many more schemes waiting for him.

Had he known this, he would’ve insisted a bit longer; maybe he would’ve gotten more benefits.

Chen Mobai was, after all, keen on the Pure Yang Qi left by the Yuanyang Ancestor.

“Didn’t you say she is a disciple of the Leading Star Ancestor? In theory, shouldn’t she be a junior to Elder Yuanxu? Is it because she couldn’t refuse face-to-face, that’s why she came?”

At that moment, while Chen Mobai was disassembling the Formless Puppet, he also pointed to Chen Chun, who looked utterly fatigued, and asked Ding Chundzhi.

“It’s different, Elder Yuanxu is the personal successor to the Leading Star Ancestor, perhaps the next Huashen Ancestor, while Uncle Chen Chun is a disciple inheriting the karma of The Divine Machine Mansion, and their paths will diverge and surely separate in the future,” Ding Chundzhi whispered. This was also why his master, Meihua Superior, would not acknowledge herself as a descendant of The Divine Machine Mansion.

Therefore, once Elder Yuanxu spoke, Chen Chun had no choice but to come and assist him in developing the Realm Treasure.

At this moment, Chen Mobai felt relieved that he was from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, which also had the support of the Huashen Ancestor. However powerful Repairing Heaven Institute was, they had to approach him with soft tactics.
