I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1617: Chapter 805: The Number of Cultivators_3

At this moment, she was already certain that the day the heavens guided her to perform divinations in Red City Cave Heaven, delivering Chen Mobai and Shi Wanyu before her, was in fact the greatest blessing of cultivating the Divine Machine Mansion’s secret technique.

To think, back then, she believed her luck was unfavorable for unexpectedly encountering someone like Chen Mobai.

Looking back now, destiny had already placed the opportunity right before her, yet she had failed to grasp it.

At this moment, Chen Chun deeply felt the inscrutability of “heaven’s will.”

“The heavens follow human desires, but fate mocks humanity!”

[Indeed, my cultivation is still far too shallow.]

With this in mind, Chen Chun returned to the mountain, her energy depleted.

Chen Mobai, of course, remained oblivious to Chen Chun’s inner turmoil. He had already arrived at the Zhongli Family and shared a meal with Zhongli Zheng, the family’s clan leader, who had been waiting for him.

As expected, it was Zhongli Yue who personally prepared the meal, with Zhongli Tianyu accompanying them.

At the dining table, Chen Mobai and Zhongli Zheng reached an agreement: moving forward, the Zhongli Family would fully support him in becoming the future Hall Master of the Righteous Law Hall, placing him at the forefront of their interests.

Truthfully, after his conversation with Leading Star Ancestor, Chen Mobai’s desire to become the master of the Immortal Gate had significantly waned.

However, given the current state of the Weapon Dancing Sect, with no successors to carry on its legacy, he had no choice but to step forward.

“I have little interest in power struggles, yet among us, I am the only one who commands the trust and respect of the Three Great Halls. I hope that after Tianyu achieves Core Formation, he can quickly improve his cultivation level. At that time, I will do everything in my power to procure the Infant Forming Spirit Medicine for him, nurturing him to become the next Nascent Soul of our lineage.”

Chen Mobai pledged at the dining table.

The words stirred excitement in Zhongli Zheng and the other two members present.

For what Chen Mobai said was true. Among the elder Gold Cores within the Dance Tool Dao Academy, those with hope of achieving Nascent Soul had, for the most part, already failed. Though there was still True Person Shaoyang’s generation, none of them could match Chen Mobai’s brilliance.

As long as Zhongli Tianyu applied himself and eventually acquired the Immortal Gate’s Infant Forming Spirit Medicine, supplemented by the Zhongli Family’s treasured Infant-Accumulating Elixir, the hope for Nascent Soul success was substantial.

It was precisely in such circumstances that Zhongli Zheng willingly proposed a deep alliance with the Weapon Dancing Sect.

But this decision was primarily due to Chen Mobai’s achievement of Nascent Soul.

After finishing the meal, Chen Mobai declined further hospitality and departed from the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.

The news of his return to Wangwu Cave Heaven quickly spread.

Even though the residences of the two Divinity Transformation Ancestors remained closed to outsiders, the properties within the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains were still infiltrated by informants from various factions.

The information about Chen Mobai visiting the two Ancestors’ Wangxian Peak and Gathering-Immortals Peak had long made the rounds within the Immortal Gate.

Regardless of which Ancestor Chen Mobai visited, within the Immortal Gate, it was explosive news.

“Ancestor Baiguang” chose to emerge from seclusion specifically for Chen Mobai, a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Weapon Dancing Sect.

As for Leading Star Ancestor, there was even less need to elaborate. Chen Mobai had just recently humiliated the Heaven-Mending Lineage during the Three Great Halls affair. Yet, he now managed to retreat unscathed from Gathering-Immortals Peak.

The combination of these two events led everyone to recognize that Chen Mobai’s talent had earned the acknowledgment of both Ancestors, marking him as their future Divinity Transformation successor.

Consequently, visitors seeking to pay their respects increased exponentially.

Especially those from the Righteous Law Hall. Besides Zhongli Zheng, many prominent figures from the Military Department had sent word requesting an audience.

The figures within the Military Department were already aware that Nangong Xuanyu was no match for Chen Mobai, and that during Ancestor Baiguang’s era, the Righteous Law Hall belonged to the Weapon Dancing Sect’s domain.

Hence, most chose to follow their hearts, allying themselves with Chen Mobai.

Only two individuals from the Heaven-Mending Lineage refrained from paying their respects due to their firmly established positions.

However, Chen Mobai merely returned their calls, declining all personal meetings.

After all, from an official standpoint, his current title was merely that of the General Leader of the Heaven-Mending Group, which was ranked lower than theirs and did not qualify him to host them.

“Now is not the right time. When the moment is proper, I’ll invite Minister Pan for tea.”

After finishing his calls, Chen Mobai entrusted the matters to Wang Shuye.

“The ministers and members of the Three Great Halls are far too enthusiastic. I’d better return to my hometown to wait out the storm.”

Chen Mobai’s words caused Wang Shuye some distress, yet he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

“Year-end coincides with the end of the conference, so most Golden Core members of the Immortal Gate are gathered at Wangwu Cave Heaven. If you return early next year, far fewer will remain.”

If Chen Mobai were still a Golden Core member now, he would have had to meet with these individuals personally.

But now that he was a Nascent Soul, aside from a few key figures like Zhongli Zheng, Chen Mobai could refuse to engage with the others.

Furthermore, knowing that future Cultivating Void advancements would require him stepping down from his position, Chen Mobai preferred not to establish too many entanglements with these individuals.

“Then I’ll leave it to you, Senior Wang.”

Chen Mobai expressed his gratitude to Wang Shuye, who had, at the year-end conference, returned to his position in Kaiyuan Hall due to the support of the Weapon Dancing Sect.

Starting next year, Wang Shuye would resume the rotational duties on behalf of Chen Mobai.

This had always been his rightful position, which he had ceded to Chen Mobai before his failed Nascent Soul attempt, only to regain it even after his failure.

It simply highlighted how rapidly Chen Mobai had progressed!
