I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 998: Chapter 547: Return to the Sect_2 Chapter 998: Chapter 547: Return to the Sect_2 At this moment, Qing Nu also came over and asked Peach Blossom Sage a question.

“In a moment, we’ll need to set up the Water Yuan Qing River Array, and I remember you have a Heavenly Water Spirit Root, which would be perfect to lend a hand.”

However, Peach Blossom Sage stopped Qing Nu. This time she had brought a group of students from Jumang Academy, treating the task as a fieldwork internship. With the help of Qing Nu, an exceptional graduate, it would make things much easier for her.

“Oh…”

Upon hearing this, the smile on Qing Nu’s face, which was there because Chen Mobai had refused Peach Blossom Sage, instantly collapsed, and she responded with a lowered head.

“Lan Haitian, you lead the people of the Immortal Gate to suppress the Fire Veins of Danxia Mountain with Spirit Nails at these locations. Once I direct the students to drive the Array Flags in, you can release them…”

Peach Blossom Sage quickly started to give orders. With a sweep of her slender right hand through the air, a huge three-dimensional map materialized, vividly displaying the entire Danxia Mountain Range. Then, with a movement of her left hand, a blue-green Array Diagram emerged on top of the 3D map. Once the two overlaid each other, red and blue points began to light up.

The red points indicated the Fire Vein Spirit Trees that Lan Haitian needed to suppress with Spirit Nails.

The blue points indicated the locations where the Jumang Academy needed to insert the Array Flags.

All present were at least Foundation Establishment Practitioners, and after Peach Blossom Sage explained once using the 3D diagram, they essentially had a firm grasp of the details.

Then, through continuous coordination, they began to suppress the Fire Veins, the Spirit Plants, setting up the Large Formation, the Spiritual Pivot…

When Chen Mobai arrived at the foot of the mountain, he looked back and saw that the mountain was bustling with activity. He left with peace of mind assured that everything was under control.

With Peach Blossom Sage overseeing the situation, even if the Shenyu Xuanzhu (Divine Control Pavilion Master) returned in person, nothing could go amiss!

Moreover, because of the incident with Master Huakai, Red Sandstone City was probably now on the priority list of the Immortal Gate, and in the future, the Sky-Mending Group would definitely pay special attention to this place. Thus, there was no longer any need to worry about infiltration by members of the Ascension Sect.

After leaving the Danxia Mountain Range, Chen Mobai made a trip back to Red Sandstone City.

In addition to checking on his parents and family, he also wanted to find out if anyone he knew had been detained by Lan Haitian.

He found quite a few.

The principal of the Immortal Gate’s Fifth High School, as well as several teachers who graduated from the two major local academies, were still being held.

In addition to these Qi Cultivators, there was also Lu Hongsheng, his former desk-mate who had returned from military service and attended university at a local academy, and Shi Qujin, a Foundation Establishment Practitioner with whom Chen Mobai had a good relationship…

After learning that Chen Mobai had returned, his high school homeroom teacher Chai Deyun, Lu Hongsheng’s wife Yu Shu, his old classmate Shi Jingjing, and others came knocking with gifts in hand.

“I’ll go ask for you.”

Chen Mobai was always personable, but since it concerned the Ascension Sect, he also needed to understand the situation.

Chen Mobai waited two days until Lan Haitian came back from the Danxia Mountain Range, and he invited him for a meal.

“These have almost all been investigated and can be released.”

Upon hearing this, Lan Haitian was very straightforward and released everyone except Shi Qujin the next day.

“The status of a Foundation Establishment Practitioner is different. If we are to release one, the procedure is much more complex and requires the approval and seal from the Department of Law Enforcement in Wangwu Cave Heaven. But rest assured, I have already spoken with Lan Haitian about this, asking him to expedite the process as much as possible.”

Chen Mobai sat at home, facing Shi Jingjing, Cao Yaling, Shi Yuanqing, and Xu Yuan, as he spoke to the four of them.

Shi Qujin, a graduate of the Red Dawn Institution, had rarely left Red Sandstone City, and as a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, he was a key suspect and thus detained.

Even though Cao Yaling and Shi Yuanqing were both Foundation Establishment Practitioners who had come personally for this matter, they were helpless.

“Thank you, old classmate, for helping to facilitate the connections.”

As Shi Qujin’s daughter, Shi Jingjing, kept thanking Chen Mobai when she left. She had married Xu Yuan, and neither of them had succeeded in Foundation Establishment. After returning, they held their wedding and now had a son and a daughter.

Had it not been for the issue of Shi Qujin’s detention, they would have been described as blissfully married.

“`

“Of course, Brother Shi and I have a good relationship. As long as it has nothing to do with the Ascension Sect, I will definitely help.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Mobai watched as his four old classmates left, feeling somewhat nostalgic.

The scenes of their playful fights and jests in the classroom seemed like they were just yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, the vivacious and lovely Shi Jingjing had become a mature woman.

Even as Foundation Establishment Practitioners, Cao Yaling and Shi Yuanqing were restrained and respectful in front of him, a sight that rendered Chen Mobai somewhat lonely.

Time slipped away, and things could never go back to the way they were.

Moved by these thoughts, Chen Mobai knew that the time he could spend with his family would grow less, so he took his parents back to Green Mountain Village to celebrate the Spring Festival with his grandparents.

After the New Year, Chen Mobai returned to Yu Wood City.

He didn’t go to see Gu Changfeng and continued to govern effortlessly as before.

On the contrary, both Yu Wood City and Qing Sang Academy, having heard of Chen Mobai’s splendid achievement of slaying Master Huakai with three sword strikes, took the initiative to visit him, inquiring if he had any instructions for the new year.

To this, Chen Mobai announced everything would proceed as normal, then left behind a Formless Puppet and returned to Giant Tree Ridge.

His first act was to check on Luo Yixuan’s Soul Lantern, and upon confirming his little disciple was still alive, he summoned Zhuo Ming.

“Master, recently while tending to that black Spirit Plant, I heard an inexplicable voice offering me guidance…”

After reporting her duties, Zhuo Ming hesitated and then revealed the matter of receiving pointers from Zhou Shengqing.

“That is the Taoist voice of a predecessor. Listen to it, and if you have questions in the future, you can also confide in it. Perhaps you will receive answers.”

Knowing it was Zhou Shengqing, Chen Mobai reassured Zhuo Ming, treating him as another teacher.

“Yes, Master!”

With Chen Mobai’s permission, Zhuo Ming felt at ease. In the Tianhe Realm, even within the same sect, switching factions while your master is alive is a very serious matter.

Liu Wenbo was not at Giant Tree Ridge; he had gone to the Ming Nation last year, arriving at the Hunyuan Immortal City of the Five Elements Sect before Chen Mobai.

After meeting his disciples, Chen Mobai summoned Yue Zutao, who reported on some issues concerning the sect.

The main concerns were Rock Country, Sky Country, and Rainbow Country, where resistance was more common due to being recently conquered territories. Fortunately, Town Guards from the sect had brought many disciples with them, and being backed by the Divine Wood Sect, they were able to bring Foundation Establishment Practitioners over at any time, and the situation was now mostly under control.

“In Rock Country, Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace has sent another Golden Core Cultivator, Fang Xuanyang, who, with Treasure Color Mountain’s Nanxuan Sect at the core, is gradually nibbling away at the Loose Cultivators using Foundation Building Pills. Sect Leader, what do you think is the best way to handle this?”

In the end, Yue Zutao brought up an issue he couldn’t handle on his own.

Another Golden Core? Chen Mobai frowned slightly. He was tempted to take up his sword and go to Rock Country and cut down Fang Xuanyang, but remembering Zhou Shengqing had not yet achieved his Legal Body Nascent Soul and that Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace had real Nascent Soul Cultivators, he soon calmed down.

Maybe this Fang Xuanyang was sent by Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace specifically to test whether Zhou Shengqing had achieved his “Nascent Soul Formation.”

“I will write a letter; you deliver it to E Yun.”

After a moment of thought, Chen Mobai decided to smash Nanxuan Sect on the field of commerce, squarely and fairly.

After Yue Zutao left, Chen Mobai began his seclusion in the Longevity Wood Dojo.

With a continuous supply of Top-grade Spirit Stones, he significantly accelerated the speed of enhancing his Golden Flame with the Ignition Technique. In just a short month, he had condensed the nine Green Flames Sword Slaughter into a fist-sized Golden Flame.

This mass of Golden Flame was precisely the minimum requirement to use the Flame Sun Slash.

That day, as those in Divine Wood City, including Yue Zutao, worked in their offices, they suddenly felt two strong and violent fluctuations of Spiritual Energy coming from the direction of the Everlife Wood, followed by a warm wind. The snow on the rooftops instantly melted into water, a scene that surprised them all.

Among them, only Xie Yuntian of the Sword Training Department seemed to realize something.

He looked toward the Longevity Wood Dojo where Chen Mobai was located and couldn’t help but feel awed!
