I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1786: Chapter 908_4

Unfortunately, the Stone sword is too massive and heavy. Echoes in the Void can only perceive part of its surface and some of its interior. If the sword spirit has indeed manifested, it must be deep inside, beyond the reach of his current cultivation level.

No wonder Hao Cao remarked that only upon the completion of the sword can the answers be found.

“Have any of the ancient ancestors of the Immortal Gate come here?”

Though Chen Mobai himself was unable, he thought that, given the ability of a Deity Transformation True Monarch, they might be able to delve further inside the Stone sword to sense whether the ancestral sages from the Mountain and Sea Academy ever became sword spirits.

“After the first principal sacrificed himself to the sword, every Deity Transformation True Monarch of the Immortal Gate has come here. However, only three ancestors may know something, yet they did not inform our Mountain and Sea Academy, nor did they stop us from continuing to sacrifice ourselves to the sword. I believe they must have sensed the existence of the sword spirit.”

Hao Cao’s conjecture indeed seemed plausible.

After all, if it were truly futile, the ancient ancestors of the Immortal Gate would certainly not make them engage in pointless efforts.

“Who are these three?”

Chen Mobai asked curiously.

“Ancestor Zhong Li, Ancestor Bai Guang, Ancestor Qian Xing!”

Hao Cao spoke truthfully, and Chen Mobai showed an expression of realization upon hearing.

Even among the Deity Transformations of the Immortal Gate, these three were noted for their brilliance, Zhong Li and Qian Xing for their unparalleled wisdom and talent.

Meanwhile, Ancestor Bai Guang represents the pinnacle of the Immortal Gate’s Sword Dao.

“After the opening warfare concludes, if I have the opportunity, I will inquire with the two ancestors.”

Chen Mobai casually remarked, but Hao Cao reacted with excitement and gratitude.

Hao Cao knew very well, if there was anyone in the Immortal Gate capable of seeking answers from the two ancestors, it would be none other than Chen Mobai.

And what Hao Cao most wanted to learn was Ancestor Bai Guang’s exploration and insights into these Stone swords.

Following this, the two shared another pot of tea.

Chen Mobai inquired about Hao Cao’s feelings after failing the “Nascent Soul Formation,” to which the latter responded that it was primarily due to an insufficient foundation.

During his attempt at “Nascent Soul Formation,” Hao Cao fully expanded his sword intent and achieved Nascent Soul spirituality with the aid of the Infant-Feeding Elixir. However, during the second step of Nurturing Infant, he clearly sensed significant disparities in his True Qi, Essence Qi, Vital Essence, and more, leading him to abandon the attempt.

Chen Mobai felt some regret regarding this, for Hao Cao, being a product of the Mountain and Sea Academy foundation, had been somewhat hasty during Foundation Establishment, practicing cultivation techniques not developed to the level of a Deity Transformation Technique. Thus, he could only condense True Qi that was of average quantity and quality, leading to failure in the Nurturing Infant stage.

“Do you have any plans to change your cultivation technique?”

Chen Mobai asked, and Hao Cao shook his head, saying that apart from his natural talent in sword dao, the cultivation technique he practices perfectly aligns with him.

Switching techniques might indeed boost True Qi but would compromise the purity and strength of his sword intent.

Thus, even the first stage of Infant-Feeding might become impossible.

“Here’s the idea, I can offer you the chance to view the Immortal Sect Sword Art. If you can utilize this Deity Transformation technique to refine your own sword technique, advancing further, then “Nascent Soul Formation” should pose no problem.”

After considering this, Chen Mobai acknowledged Hao Cao’s goodwill towards him and, being somewhat affiliated with the Dance Tool Dao Academy, extended the opportunity.

“However, I fear the other two Great Halls may not agree.”

Despite being tempted, Hao Cao knew that such an action was against the Immortal Gate’s rules.

After all, only the Sect Master can interpret the sword technique, as dictated by longstanding conventions.

Even if relaxed, it would at least require the Vice Hall Masters of the Three Great Halls.

“No worries, back when Gongsun Jielu interpreted the Immortal Sect Sword Art, she was not a Vice Hall Master of the Hall of Orthodox Law. Moreover, in this time of open warfare, this situation warrants an exception. I believe Ying Guanghua and Qi Yuheng will accommodate me.”

Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s reassurance, Hao Cao gravely rose in gratitude, knowing the favor from Ying Guanghua and Qi Yuheng was assured.

With Chen Mobai’s intervention, the matter was practically assured.

“Thank you, Pure Yang Master!”

Chen Mobai smiled slightly after finishing his tea.

He was about to continue the conversation when he noticed Yu Yi making a phone call.

He immediately bid farewell to Hao Cao, then utilized Void Teleportation to leave the Mountain and Sea Academy.

Yu Yi’s call indeed pertained to one matter, namely, that she had finished recording the Rank-5 Water Spirit Talisman using her Guidance Book ability.

Upon receiving the news, Chen Mobai arrived above the Heavenly Book Academy, noticing silver flashes opposite, as Wenren Xuewei stepped out of the void simultaneously.

The two exchanged glances, saluted, and began discussions with Yu Yi who joined them from below.

After a brief exchange, they proceeded directly to the main topic.

Experts indeed achieve extraordinary results.

After Chen Mobai finished grinding ink, Yu Yi wielded the brush and transformed Origin True Qi onto the talisman board made from the heart of the Sixth Rank Great Chun Tree, where her brushwork danced fluidly.

The Immortal Gate’s top talisman makers in action presented an invaluable learning opportunity for Chen Mobai.

He opened his Guidance Book, meticulously recording each step taken by Yu Yi.

Her pen tip seemed to leap upon the talisman board, and though it was her first time drawing the Rank-5 Water Spirit Talisman, her technique was exceptionally adept, the lines flowing like water, seamlessly continuous with each turn incredibly natural and elegant, as if imbued with life.

Chen Mobai watched her snow-white wrist gently flick, while various strokes of the Water Spirit Talisman poured from her pen tip, as if sketching vivid and rhythmic illustrations, resembling the dance of dragons and snakes, both strong and graceful.

“It’s done. Quickly incorporate the innate Water Element Essence Qi!”

Just as Chen Mobai was lost in thought, Yu Yi’s slightly breathy voice resonated beside him.

Done already!?

Instantly alert, Chen Mobai gazed at the talisman board of the Sixth Rank Great Chun Tree, admiring the refined and intricate Rank-5 Water Spirit Talisman, then nodded toward Wenren Xuewei.

Wenren Xuewei immediately produced the Rank-5 Taiyuan Blue Pearl.

Since this was a favor from Jumang Academy seeking Yu Yi’s assistance, appearances had to be maintained, thus Chen Mobai had previously handed it over to her.

“May I request the two esteemed to serve as protectors.”

Wenren Xuewei invoked, needing to extract the innate Water Element Essence Qi, which alone might be overwhelming. However, she could leverage the powers of the Great Chun Tree.

Chen Mobai nodded, unfurling the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo to suppress the natural resistance of the Taiyuan Blue Pearl.

Gradually, under the influence of Evergreen Qi, a deep blue stream of light was extracted from the Taiyuan Blue Pearl and Yu Yi promptly raised the freshly completed Rank-5 Water Spirit Talisman, aligning it with the innate Water Element Essence Qi.

Upon impact, a vast wave of energy expansion ensued.

Present here, only Chen Mobai had strength remaining, as Pure Yang True Qi naturally conflicted with Water Element Essence, prohibiting him from utilizing the Pure Yang Immortal Robe.
