I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 978: Chapter 537: The Road to Heaven_2 Chapter 978: Chapter 537: The Road to Heaven_2 “`

“If I fail to grasp anything from the Immortal Sect Sword Art now, wouldn’t I be blatantly telling the world that I’m a fraud?”

Thinking about such a socially disastrous possibility, Chen Mobai felt it was safer to focus on obtaining resources and cultivating in the Tianhe Realm.

“Vice Minister Gongsun, I still prefer the way things are now, with no music to disturb my ears and no documents to tire my body, and it’s closer to home too,”

Chen Mobai tactfully declined Gongsun Jielu’s offer, and upon hearing this, she looked surprised.

Then she turned to look at Qing Women, seeming to remember something, and with a frown, she added another sentence.

“Her case is merely an exception; you needn’t worry that the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect are all like that.”

Upon hearing these words, Qing Women, who had been expressionless until then, suddenly became visibly moved. Her eyes became moist as she looked at Chen Mobai, touched.

She had thought that Chen Mobai was irritated by the upper echelons because of her and therefore had rejected this path leading straight to the heavens.

“You…”

“I am simply following my own heart, not wanting to entangle my Sword Heart with mundane affairs—it has nothing to do with others.”

Before Qing Women could say anything, Chen Mobai interrupted firmly, not wanting her to misunderstand.

But his words seemed to have the opposite effect.

The tears Qing Women had been holding back couldn’t be restrained any longer and started streaming down her smooth, pale cheeks as she began to sob quietly.

Seeing this scene, Gongsun Jielu sighed.

No wonder he could resonate with Master Qingshi’s Purple Electric Sword Heart; he too was a man of deep emotion.

Thinking this, Gongsun Jielu did not say anything more and turned to leave.

Chen Mobai was left standing there somewhat stiffly.

He thought he had made himself clear, so why had Qing Women suddenly started to cry?

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Mobai took a pack of tissues out of his Golden Core Domain.

Just as he handed it to Qing Women, she threw herself into his arms and began to cry even harder.

Seeing that others nearby were turning their gazes towards them, Chen Mobai felt extremely awkward. He could only cast a Wooden House Talisman that enclosed both him and Qing Women, blocking them from the view of onlookers.

“Brother Chen, the formation is all set up, we’re ready to head up the mountain,”

It was about half an hour later when Lan Haitian’s voice came from outside the wooden house. Chen Mobai could only pat Qing Women on the back, who after sobbing for a while, had calmed down quite a bit, though she still felt somewhat ashamed and continued to shrink in Chen Mobai’s embrace.

Now that they were being prompted, Qing Women had no choice but to let go of Chen Mobai’s waist, her face flushed. She lowered her head, unconsciously twirling a strand of hair on the right side of her face.

“Stay here and wait in peace; we’ll take care of this matter quickly.”

Chen Mobai handed the tissues in his hand to Qing Women and then patted her head before getting up and leaving the wooden house.

“Fair winds on your journey.”

Qing Women’s soft words followed him as Chen Mobai, with his back to her, waved his right hand, then joined Lan Haitian and Gongsun Jielu outside, all of them transforming into beams of Escaping Light and flying towards the Cinnabarite Institute.

At the base of the mountain, Lan Haitian had already used a Magic Artifact to confirm the whereabouts of Yu Tianguang.

The three of them did not waste any time; they avoided the students and rushed straight to the mountaintop, to a stone house where the Spirit Vein was strongest.

“Who dares to be so impolite!”

As Chen Mobai and his two companions landed on the mountaintop, Yu Tianguang inside the stone house immediately sensed it. His displeased voice rang out.

With the stone door opening, he saw Chen Mobai at the entrance and frowned slightly.

“What are you doing here? You don’t even bring a basket of fruit when visiting me!”

Chen Mobai felt a bit awkward and pointed to the sides of the stone house with his hand.

Yu Tianguang stepped out of the stone door, glancing left and right, his face suddenly changing.

“Vice Minister Gongsun, Vice Chief Lan! What brings you two to my place today?”

Upon hearing this, Lan Haitian didn’t say much but directly took out an arrest warrant and sent it flying to Yu Tianguang with a puff of air.

“`

“Pure nonsense. I’ve been a bona fide member of the Immortal Sect since birth and a graduate of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Aren’t you afraid of being blamed by the principal and Ancestor Baiguang for slandering me as a cultist!”

Upon seeing the arrest warrant, Yu Tianguang’s face turned red with anger.

It seemed he really was being wronged.

Chen Mobai thought this, yet remained silent, simply watching how Lan Haitian and Gongsun Jielu interacted with Yu Tianguang.

“Originally, Master Chengxuan wanted to come in person to clean up the mess to avoid tarnishing the Dance Tool Dao Academy’s reputation because of you. However, the Immortal Sect decided to deal with this matter quietly, so they only called on nearby Councilor Chen to follow along.”

As Lan Haitian spoke, he pointed to the embarrassed-looking Chen Mobai.

“Chen kid, what exactly is going on here?”

Yu Tianguang immediately glared at Chen Mobai, shaking the arrest warrant in his hand excitedly. A flame of fury ignited in his eyes.

“True Person Yu, I am acting on the orders of the Kaiyuan Hall Council, cooperating with these two.”

Chen Mobai gently stated, expressing his stance.

But this very statement caused Yu Tianguang’s face to alternate between red and white.

Being the Dance Tool Dao Academy’s most outstanding graduate in recent centuries, Chen Mobai stood beside Lan Haitian, blocking Yu Tianguang’s way, and Yu Tianguang knew the academy had abandoned him.

“I am innocent. I want to see the principal. I want to see the masters of The Three Great Halls. I want to see Ancestor Baiguang…”

As a Cultivator who had grown up within the Immortal Sect, Yu Tianguang knew very well the Sect’s background and power. He intended to rely on his formidable strength to argue his case, but he didn’t dare to truly make a move.

In the end, all he could do was shout loudly to proclaim his innocence!

As the clicking sound rang out, Lan Haitian produced a pair of specially made handcuffs and approached Yu Tianguang.

“True Person Yu, your status as a Kaiyuan Hall councilor has not yet been revoked, and I do not wish to make this ugly…”

While speaking, Lan Haitian hinted for Yu Tianguang to give up resisting.

After hearing this, Yu Tianguang’s face turned crimson with rage, and the powerful Spiritual Power in his Dantian Qi Sea burst forth, as if he intended to resist.

However, Gongsun Jielu next to him drew a toothpick from his sleeve and flicked it lightly. A sharp, dark-green Sword Light burst out, instantly piercing into Yu Tianguang’s Gold Core.

In Chen Mobai’s shocked gaze, Yu Tianguang’s Spiritual Power dissipated entirely, seemingly retracting back into his Gold Core, nailed down and suppressed by that toothpick.

With a pfft, Yu Tianguang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The vast disparity in strength left him feeling utterly disheartened. Although he still had his Lifespan Artifact to activate, it would have been a futile effort against Gongsun Jielu, a Sword Dao grandmaster.

The arrest of Yu Tianguang went unexpectedly smoothly.

From beginning to end, Chen Mobai never lifted a finger, merely serving as a witness to Lan Haitian and Gongsun Jielu subduing Yu Tianguang.

“Chen kid, I’ve been wronged. You must tell the principal…”

As Yu Tianguang was being taken away by Lan Haitian, he lifted his head and said one last thing to Chen Mobai.

“Don’t worry, this incident won’t affect your record in the Immortal Sect, and might even be recorded as a merit.”

Gongsun Jielu walked up to Chen Mobai and struck up conversation again.

“Do you truly not want to join the Hall of Orthodox Law? Is it that you dislike the Department of Law Enforcement? What about the Sky-Mending Group and the Military Department, are you interested in those?”

The Hall of Orthodox Law controlled the two major martial forces inside and outside the Immortal Sect, with the Military Department being directly led by the Righteous Law Hall Master, while the Department of Law Enforcement was under the Vice Hall Master.

“No, I just want to live a simple life training with the sword and farming, and in my spare time, drawing talismans and making puppets.”

Chen Mobai’s demeanor, wanting a reclusive life, puzzled Gongsun Jielu.

“Don’t you want to undergo ‘Nascent Soul Formation’?”

“Can’t one undergo ‘Nascent Soul Formation’ without relying on the Immortal Sect?”

Chen Mobai retorted.

“Without the support of the Immortal Sect, you would need the resources of the Four Great Daoist Sects. But the Dance Tool Dao Academy’s Infant Forming Spirit Medicine has already been given to Duanmu Longrong; are you sure you want to wait three hundred years?”
