I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1517: Chapter 780: The Foundation of Patching Heaven_4

Now that Nangong Xuanyu is coming to take over her position, she is actually somewhat pleased.

But her Kunpeng Lineage does not agree with this!

Ye Yun’e has also approached her for a talk, insisting that even if Nangong Xuanyu took over the Hall of Orthodox Law, she must stand her ground and try to hold him off for as long as possible.

She is now caught between two fires.

However, no matter what she does, the Cultivator Narcissus supports her.

After all, whether it is her or Nangong Xuanyu, both will handle the political affairs for her, and she can still enjoy her leisure.

“Indeed, even within the Immortal Gate, once one’s cultivation level is strong enough, it is possible to change the general situation.”

Chen Mobai uttered these words with a sigh.

Before, as the leading Core Formation practitioner, Nangong Xuanyu was just an ordinary member of the Kaiyuan Hall.

However, now, after Nascent Soul Formation, he has been arranged by the Heaven-Repairing Lineage to follow the path of becoming one of the Three Hall Masters.

“Therefore, I too really want to let go of everything and go into closed-door cultivation!”

Gongsun Jielu’s words full of resentment made Chen Mobai smile wryly.

“By the way, the Sword Intent emanating from you, young man, seems to be growing denser. When my leave gets approved, let’s have a proper sword discussion, each of us refining against the other’s Sword Intent.”

This was what Gongsun Jielu said suddenly as Chen Mobai was bidding farewell and leaving.

“Alright, let’s talk about it when we’re both free.”

Chen Mobai was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then promptly nodded and responded perfunctorily.

After activating the Underworld Array and returning to the Sky-Mending Group, Chen Mobai used Inner Observation to look at the Longevity Sword Intent, which he hadn’t paid attention to for a long time, and was surprised to find that the progress, which had been almost stuck at 10%, had suddenly advanced to 50%.

He contemplated this with some surprise, then began to trace back through his memories.

But because he had focused his Inner Observation lately on the integration of the Great Sun Qianyang Fire and the Extreme Sun Slash, he did not know when such a significant breakthrough had occurred.

Engaging in deep thought with the help of the Guidance Book, Chen Mobai ruled out various possibilities.

Ultimately, he discovered a critical point.

While externally observing the heaven and earth with the Crown of Heaven and Earth, he noticed two thick but dim lines were missing.

Chen Mobai remembered clearly, those two lines were the ones connecting himself to his parents.

Does this mean it was the loss of these two lines that caused it?

Chen Mobai was rather surprised.

He had studied this function of external observation for a long time, knowing that everyone connected to him had a line, and upon death, most lines would disappear.

But in very rare cases, the line would break and yet linger on, and a new, slender but resilient line would emerge.

Because there were still some samples lacking, Chen Mobai had merely recorded this, intending to analyze the similarities and differences with the Guidance Book once there was enough data.

And now, the passing of his parents had left him with two less of the thickest lines, and no new lines had been born.

Was it because of this that the Longevity Sword Intent resonated more profoundly with him?

After realizing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but direct his Inner Observation back to this Sword Intent.

The integration of the Great Sun Qianyang Fire and the Extreme Sun Slash was almost complete, and next, he wanted to see if another analysis of the Sword Intent—now that progress had surged—would lead to further improvement?

After placing his Inner Observation on the Sword Intent, Chen Mobai began condensing the Pure Yang True Qi with the power of the Stat Fire.

Seven days later, the Kaiyuan Hall convened an internal meeting represented by the Rotating Committee.

At the meeting, the application by Nangong Xuanyu to join the Hall of Orthodox Law was approved!

Seeing the voting result, Ye Yun’e, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, had an icy expression.

However, faced with the overwhelming trend, she could only announce the result.

As one of the members of the Rotating Committee, Chen Mobai immediately returned to the Sky-Mending Group after the meeting ended, ready to deploy troops and issue commands.

“Jialan, come with me, and let Zijing stay at the headquarters for the hard work.”

The personnel arrangements had already been sketched out beforehand, and Chen Mobai first assigned his own two direct descendants.

Then it was time to draw elites from the various groups.

Just as the Sky-Mending Group began to bustle with activity, Chen Mobai received a call from Lan Haitian.

“You backed out too quickly, didn’t you?”

Lan Haitian’s words carried artistic flair, making Chen Mobai smile involuntarily upon hearing them.

“Running away on one’s own initiative is better than being driven out by others.”

Within the Immortal Gate, as long as you wish to maintain face, nobody will push you to extremes; Chen Mobai’s actions, although the most correct course, led Lan Haitian to initially think that given his personality and pride, plus the strong backing he represents, even if he stayed, he would be able to withstand Nangong Xuanyu’s sabotage for quite a while.

Even if Nangong Xuanyu’s skills in court intrigue were lacking, had Chen Mobai teamed up with the Kunpeng Lineage, it would have been possible to entrap him within the Military Department, preventing him from reaching into the other key sectors and power of the Hall of Orthodox Law.

After all, within the Immortal Gate, the Nascent Soul Realm is merely the prerequisite for entry to become one of the Three Hall Masters; truly rising to an upper position requires adept social skills.

There are numerous Nascent Soul Cultivators who, after serving in The Three Great Halls, dejectedly return to teaching.

“But with you stepping down like this, I do owe you thanks…”

Lan Haitian said with a smile, this phone call being also prompted by Ying Guanghua, who had just used the strength of the Heaven-Repairing Lineage to place Nangong Xuanyu in the Hall of Orthodox Law and naturally did not wish for any opposition.

If Chen Mobai was willing to step aside directly, it would be beneficial for the Heaven-Repairing Lineage.

“While I’m away, I’ll have to trouble you to look after the Sky-Mending Group a bit more.”

Since he let Lan Haitian gain a merit for nothing, Chen Mobai naturally wanted him to pay a price.

“Hmm, Lin Yin has just successfully formed her Core and is returning; I’ll have her keep her position in the Sky-Mending Group on hold, so that she can step forward when we encounter issues that are difficult to resolve.”

Lan Haitian, who has been handling affairs in Xianwu Hall for years, has increasingly polished his methods.

While Chen Mobai leads the elite of the Sky-Mending Group on an external mission, Lin Yin, as the deputy group leader and Lan Haitian’s direct descendant, and by extension from the Heaven-Repairing Lineage, leaves Nangong Xuanyu with no reason to target the Sky-Mending Group under her management.

Yet beyond the position in the Sky-Mending Group, Lin Yin was also arranged by Lan Haitian to take on a new position in Xianwu Hall.

Her main focus will be in Xianwu Hall when the time comes.

On the Sky-Mending Group’s side, in actuality, it is still entirely under the control of Hua Zijing, Chen Mobai’s direct descendant.

After the two finished their conversation, Zhuang Jialan also came in leading three others.

These were the leaders of the second, third, and sixth teams of the Sky-Mending Group, also the ones leading most of the elite members to join Chen Mobai on the mission.

Due to the large number of people, Chen Mobai had Zhuang Jialan apply for two combat flight vehicles.

Learning that the head of the main group was leading the mission himself, the three team leaders were quite surprised.

After roughly explaining the mission, Chen Mobai scheduled to depart early the following morning.

That night, he went to see Yan Bingxuan.

…

“This kid sure took off quickly!”

In a modest room, after Lan Haitian reported Chen Mobai’s response, Nangong Xuanyu couldn’t help but sneer.

“Much appreciated, it seems there’s no need to play our remaining cards now.”

Ying Guanghua nodded at Lan Haitian and then looked at another person sitting across from him.

“Hall Master, then I’ll take my leave now.”

As Lan Haitian rose to leave, he glanced at the three people in the room and couldn’t help but secretly feel shocked.

He had never imagined that besides Nangong Xuanyu, Gongye Zhixu had also succeeded in Nascent Soul Formation!

Is this the depth of the Heaven-Repairing Lineage!
