I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1599: Chapter 801: Make a Move, and I Lose

At the moment Chen Mobai rose, two mighty streams of pure Yang energy collided fiercely.

The terrifying surge of spiritual power caused the expressions of everyone present to change drastically.

Ye Yune, however, wore a look of excitement, as though she wished the two would clash immediately.

“Two Superiors, this is Xianwu Hall!”

But Bo Xiangqian quickly spoke up, and at the same time, Lan Haitian sent a message, informing Ying Guanghua of the situation here.

“I’ve long heard of Commissioner Chen’s renown for battle law victories. I’ve always wanted to experience it firsthand. However, before, your cultivation level wasn’t complete, and it would’ve been unscrupulous of me to bully someone weaker. Now that you’ve achieved Nascent Soul Formation, it is all the more fitting. So, Commissioner Chen, do you dare grant me this duel?”

Yet among those present, there was no one of equal rank who could stop Nangong Xuanyu, aside from Ye Yune, who chose not to intervene.

“Your boldness in challenging me does earn my respect. Pick the time and place as you wish, and I shall let you understand why orthodoxy is orthodoxy, whereas you… are merely a side sect!”

Chen Mobai’s words carried an overflowing air of arrogance, perfectly embodying his persona within the Immortal Gate.

“Why not today, then? Besides, orthodoxy versus side sects isn’t set in stone forever. If I defeat you, then I shall be orthodoxy!”

Nangong Xuanyu was equally prideful. He had suppressed countless Golden Core Masters from the Four Great Daoist Sects for over a century, reigning as the Immortal Gate’s foremost Golden Core cultivator. He had even previously crossed swords with Elder Qingping, and his confidence far surpassed that of Chen Mobai.

“Where shall we go?”

Chen Mobai didn’t bother saying much more. It had been too long since he’d struck on this side of the Immortal Gate, and it was time to remind everyone why he bore the title of “Battle Law Victory.”

“Since the Primordial Infant Arena within Little Red Heaven hasn’t yet been opened, let us suppress our cultivation levels to Golden Core Perfection. Using our respective pure Yang techniques and the Primordial Yang Sword Secret, we’ll settle this honestly and openly.”

Nangong Xuanyu had clearly fantasized about a duel with Chen Mobai for a long time, as he directly suggested this arrangement.

“If cultivation cannot be relied upon, then you stand even less of a chance.”

Chen Mobai scoffed dismissively, but did not oppose the idea.

After all, if two Nascent Soul Superiors truly went all out in a real-world battle, they would likely need to fight outside the Heavenly Curtain, using the starry sky as their battlefield.

“I hope your tongue remains as sharp when you lose!”

Nangong Xuanyu realized he was losing the verbal sparring match with Chen Mobai, so prepared to act directly instead.

“Gentlemen, is this truly necessary?”

At that moment, a streak of silver light streaked across, revealing Ying Guanghua, who appeared in the meeting room with a furrowed brow, standing between the two of them.

He already knew Chen Mobai had opposed him once again, and his mood was foul.

But if two Nascent Soul Superiors truly arranged a duel within Xianwu Hall, it would bring even greater disgrace to him as the Head of Immortal Affairs. Thus, upon receiving Lan Haitian’s message, he had no choice but to intervene.

“Palace Master Ying, this is a private matter. Please don’t interfere.”

Chen Mobai sneered coldly, showing no consideration for Ying Guanghua whatsoever.

“Indeed. My duel with Commissioner Chen is solely for mutual exchange, to determine who truly represents pure Yang orthodoxy. It is not due to today’s clash.”

Compared with Chen Mobai, Nangong Xuanyu at least gave Ying Guanghua a bit of face-saving explanation.

“Hmm, in that case, why not take this opportunity to also unlock the next layer of permissions for Little Red Heaven?”

Upon hearing this, Ying Guanghua uttered words that surprised everyone present.

The next layer of permissions—wasn’t that the Nascent Soul Realm Arena?

Because simulating Nascent Soul cultivators within Little Red Heaven required a tremendous expenditure of spiritual energy, the Immortal Gate had debated for years about whether it was worth it, without arriving at a conclusion.

The Heaven-Repairing Lineage supported the idea, since they had the greatest number of Nascent Soul cultivators. Unlocking the arena would allow their members to exchange blows and improve their battle law skills.

After all, without the arena in Little Red Heaven, sparring would always feel restrictive, lest someone accidentally unleash enough force to collapse a Cultivation Room.

In contrast, the other three lineages opposed it, citing it as a waste of spiritual energy resources.

“If this matter is to be decided, it may require another vote in Kaiyuan Hall.”

Ye Yune hesitated as she spoke.

Among the Three Great Halls, Kaiyuan Hall theoretically held the greatest authority. By voting, its members could even impeach the Sect Master of the Immortal Gate.

The unlocking of Little Red Heaven’s Nascent Soul Arena permissions also fell under Kaiyuan Hall’s jurisdiction.

“The Immortal Gate has another rule: if the Three Hall Masters reach a unanimous decision, it can override Kaiyuan Hall’s authority.”

Ying Guanghua remarked, causing Ye Yune’s brows to furrow.

This rule indeed existed within the Immortal Gate, and it was for this very reason that all factions sought to keep the Three Hall Masters from belonging to the same lineage.

If all three belonged to the same lineage, they could jointly decide on policies, wielding authority as if through royal decree.

Even if Kaiyuan Hall unanimously opposed them, they could be disregarded.

Yet even if Ying Guanghua and Narcissus agreed, there was no way Kaiyuan Hall Master Qi Yuheng would consent, right?

Just as Ye Yune was pondering this, two more streaks of silver light appeared within the meeting room.

The Hall Master of Orthodox Law, Narcissus, and the Kaiyuan Hall Master, Qi Yuheng, had arrived simultaneously.

“Currently, the Immortal Gate has seventeen Nascent Soul cultivators. Soon, there will be one more. It’s time,” Qi Yuheng declared, shocking Ye Yune with his words. But given that even he, the Kaiyuan Hall Master, agreed, she had no grounds for objection.
