I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1610: Chapter 803: Meeting the Divinity Transformation_4

A woman sat elegantly on a large stone, wearing a light purple dress. Her head was lowered, obscuring her features, while her snow-white, jade-like hands held onto a pitch-black longsword with focused intensity.

Chen Mobai didn’t know who this woman was, but instinctively felt that she could likely be Ancestor Baiguang.

After all, this was Wangxian Peak.

And among the sword-wielding women, none were more renowned than her.

At the thought, Chen Mobai’s heart stirred. He entered the state of the Guidance Book, aiming to etch this scene firmly into his mind. Perhaps it contained some heaven-shaking sword intent.

Yet quickly, he discovered—

Though he could vividly recall the form and posture of the woman in the light purple dress, the pitch-black longsword she held remained elusive in his memory.

Was this Ancestor Baiguang’s Lifebound Flying Sword?

Chen Mobai’s face revealed hints of suspicion and awe.

Since it couldn’t be imprinted, he didn’t force the matter, attributing it to his cultivation realm being insufficient before moving toward the second floor.

On the second floor’s living room, Chen Mobai noticed another painting hanging on the wall.

But this painting was of familiar faces.

It depicted Shi Wanyu and Chen Xiaohei, mother and daughter, holding hands as they stood on the mist-shrouded balcony of a wooden cabin atop a mountain. The tender smile on their faces, as they watched the sunrise, filled Chen Mobai’s heart with warmth.

This must have been painted during the time Shi Wanyu looked after Xiaohei here at Wangxian Peak, inspired by their serene demeanor and familial bond, by Yu Huiping back then.

Thinking this, Chen Mobai walked out onto the balcony.

There, he saw the bench from the painting where the mother and daughter had sat.

Chen Mobai smiled gently and imagined Shi Wanyu and Chen Xiaohei sitting there. Then, choosing the other end, he seated himself and took out a blank sheet of paper from his domain.

He envisioned a heartfelt scene of himself sitting alongside Shi Wanyu, with Xiaohei nestled between them, watching distant clouds rolling and dispersing, sunrise illuminating the sky, and nature awaking.

Though much of his time had been consumed by cultivation, and he hadn’t yet passed the third-tier talisman maker exam, his skills from the Academy’s painting classes held firm.

Soon, using the mother-daughter painting inside as reference, he captured the scene in his mind onto the paper.

When finished, he snapped a picture of the artwork with his phone and shared it in their private family group chat, “Beloved Family.”

Chen Xiaohei: [Dad, are you in my room?]

Shi Wanyu: [It’s beautiful! I hope someday we can take a real photo like this.]

Chen Mobai: [Yes, I came to look at the place where you lived before heading down the mountain @Chen Xiaohei.]

Chen Mobai: [Next year, we’ll move here as a family. I’ll talk to True Person Yu and ask her to help us snap a picture then @Shi Wanyu.]

Before long, the once-silent family chat grew lively again.

The mother and daughter began reminiscing about the times when Xiaohei’s health wasn’t good, and their experiences on Wangxian Peak.

As their conversation deepened, Xiaohei suddenly asked: [Dad, did you see the Ancestor? I’ve lived on this mountain for years and never once saw the Ancestor leave seclusion.]

Chen Mobai: [Secret.]

It wasn’t that he wanted to keep secrets from his daughter; rather, speaking of this matter might inadvertently involve Yu Huiping, and silence was the better choice.

Chen Xiaohei: [Ah, I’m your daughter, and you still won’t tell me?]

Chen Mobai responded with three dots.

Nonetheless, Xiaohei’s curiosity burned unabated: [What does the Ancestor look like? Is she beautiful? But she must be quite old now…]

As Xiaohei’s questions grew increasingly outrageous, Chen Mobai promptly cut her off, saying it was time for him to leave the mountain.

Since the Kaiyuan Hall council meeting had concluded, he planned to wrap up his pending matters and return to Yu Wood City.

There, he’d reunite with the mother and daughter to pack before relocating to Wangwu Cave Heaven.

This promise finally quelled Xiaohei’s relentless questioning.

Once they agreed on a return date, Chen Mobai set his phone aside.

At this moment, Yu Huiping arrived. From the balcony, he spotted her and waved in greeting.

“True Person Yu, I’ll be taking my leave now.”

Chen Mobai used Void Walk to teleport to Yu Huiping’s side, as he had already informed her in a text message earlier.

“Alright, Xiaohei’s room will remain hers. If she and her mother need a place to stay, they’re welcome here anytime. She’s about to prepare for Core Formation anyway, which would also save you some worry.”

Yu Huiping proposed an idea that caught Chen Mobai by surprise.

Though he had secured a Rank-4 Spiritual Energy manor within Wangwu Cave Heaven, it was safer for the mother and daughter to avoid unnecessary exposure.

“I’ll mention it to them when I return home. I doubt they’d refuse True Person Yu’s kind offer.”

With a warm smile, Chen Mobai accompanied Yu Huiping down the mountain. Shortly, they reached its base.

“Oh, I nearly forgot, congratulations on forming your Nascent Soul.”

As they parted ways, Yu Huiping smiled genuinely and performed the ancient ceremonial greeting from the Weapon Dancing Sect, expressing heartfelt joy for Chen Mobai’s achievement.

With his Nascent Soul Formation complete, her past worries and anxieties had dissipated.

She firmly believed that he would accompany her master through the journey ahead.

For this reason, she willingly took a great risk by bestowing upon Chen Mobai Ancestor Baiguang’s Transformation God Edict.

Chen Mobai returned her greeting with a slight bow, saying, “Thank you, True Person Yu.”

After their exchange of courtesies, Yu Huiping’s figure shimmered and transformed into a beam of silver light, vanishing from sight.

Chen Mobai gazed in the direction of her departure and silently vowed to live up to the expectations placed upon him, promising to elevate the Weapon Dancing Sect to greater heights.

As he left Wangxian Peak, the sky grew tinged with the warm hues of dusk.

Chen Mobai’s mood lightened considerably. He glanced toward his intended destination, the Zhongli family residence, when suddenly, a figure emerged in his line of sight.

The newcomer wore a simple-colored long dress. Her skin was fair, her features sharp, and her eyes carried an enigmatic depth. She exuded an elegantly mysterious aura.

Chen Mobai recognized her—it was Chen Chun.

“It’s been a long time.”

In days past, Chen Mobai might have hesitated threefold, but now that he had achieved Nascent Soul Formation—even though Chen Chun was a disciple of Leading Star Ancestor—he greeted her with composure.

After all, he had just descended from Wangxian Peak where Ancestor Baiguang supported him, endorsing his role as the future Divinity Transformation representative for the Weapon Lineage.

In terms of status within the Immortal Gate, he now ranked just below the two Divinity Transformation cultivators.

Unless Chen Chun formed her Nascent Soul, she had to step down upon meeting him.

“Greetings, honored one.”

As expected, Chen Chun saluted him respectfully, her expression calm. In a polite tone, she said, “I act on my master’s orders to invite you to ascend the mountain.”

Chen Mobai felt a slight jolt of surprise but wasn’t entirely unprepared.

After all, he had received two Transformation God Edicts.

Ancestor Baiguang’s might have been false, but Leading Star Ancestor’s was undoubtedly real.

Thus, even with Ancestor Baiguang’s support, he couldn’t decline.

“Please lead the way!”

Chen Mobai nodded, signaling Chen Chun to proceed.

At the same time, he silently reminded himself how to navigate any cold indifference he might face upon meeting Leading Star Ancestor.

He needed to strike the perfect balance between showcasing his future Divinity Transformation pride, supported by Ancestor Baiguang, and tempering it to avoid provoking Leading Star Ancestor’s disfavor.
