I Have A Cultivation World-Chapter 2557 - 1156: Taixu Mountain Range (Part 2)
To prevent the shockwave from the arrival of Purple Cloud Palace causing injuries to the Immortal Gate populace, he used the power of the Law Realm to take all living beings within a thousand miles into captivity.
All these people were instantly sent by him to Red Sandstone City, leaving local Immortal Gate officials to handle.
However, there was still some chaos. Before Chen Mobai could speak, Lan Haitian had already taken the initiative to descend into Red Sandstone City to assist with arranging these individuals.
Seeing this, Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction.
The other Nascent Soul cultivators, realizing what had happened, saw that Lan Haitian had gained the upper hand.
This was a rare opportunity to earn favor with the Pure Yang True Monarch.
Rumblings!
At this moment, Purple Cloud Palace had completely descended onto the earth, landing on the peak of the Taixu Mountain Range. As it landed, the entire mountain range began to shake violently.
The Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation had also been completely controlled by Purple Cloud Palace, and in the perception of Chen Mobai and Yunhai, it was as if a new Master Spiritual Pivot appeared out of thin air.
At this moment, Chen Mobai even sensed the consciousness of the Great Chun Divine Tree.
Since Purple Cloud Palace had already replaced her, becoming the new core of the Sky Curtain Ground Network, if Chen Mobai acted now, he could help her transcend.
[Please wait a while, senior...]
Chen Mobai naturally couldn’t let the Great Chun Divine Tree leave at this time, as Purple Cloud Palace is only temporary and will soon depart.
Listening to his transmitted message, the Spirit of Great Chun showed some disappointment but said nothing more.
"The altar and steps are beginning to appear."
Qi Yuheng’s voice sounded as he pointed to Purple Cloud Palace’s gate, where the vast Spiritual Energy of the Earth Element Star condensed into green and white strips of steps, extending outward.
Two thousand nine hundred and fifty-one green and white steps descended from the mountaintop to the mountain foot, and among these steps were forty-nine green-gray platforms for rest as one climbed the mountain.
In total, the number was exactly three thousand.
Seeing this, Chen Mobai wondered if this represented the Three Thousand Great Dao?
Those platforms were the Innate Great Dao, and the other steps were the Acquired Great Dao.
"According to the records left by the sages, now you can climb up."
Qi Yuheng pointed to the altar and steps that had descended from Purple Cloud Palace’s gate, speaking to Chen Mobai with a subtle look of expectation.
"There might be remnants of the Ascension Sect watching, you all go ahead while I inspect the surroundings..."
In contrast, Chen Mobai adopted a much more relaxed demeanor, even hanging back voluntarily.
"Then we won’t be polite."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuheng directly descended from mid-air into the Taixu Mountain Range, stepping onto the first green-white step.
He ranks second to Chen Mobai among Immortal Gate’s Divinity Transformation cultivators, so the steps ahead posed no difficulty, yet he moved slowly, ascending step by step.
After all, this was the greatest opportunity on the Earth Element Star, occurring only once every twelve hundred years.
Very soon, Qi Yuheng stopped on the first platform, closed his eyes to ponder for a while, but finally opened them regretfully before continuing up the steps.
At the one hundred and thirty-seventh step, Qi Yuheng’s expression suddenly became excited, seemingly touched, and he sat on the step and began to circulate power.
Seeing this, other Divinity Transformation cultivators from Immortal Gate couldn’t hold back either, and after speaking to Chen Mobai, they landed on the ground one by one to climb the steps.
Time quickly passed to three days.
Besides the Immortal Gate Divinity Transformation cultivators, Nascent Soul cultivators from the Three Great Halls and Four Great Daoist Sects also began to step onto the stairs leading to Purple Cloud Palace in batches.
With Chen Mobai sitting outside, they didn’t need to worry about disturbances in Immortal Gate.
On this day, after finishing handling Red Sandstone City’s affairs, Lan Haitian also flew over, being the only Nascent Soul cultivator who hadn’t yet ascended Purple Cloud Palace.
"Greetings to Pure Yang True Monarch!"
After arriving, Lan Haitian did not immediately climb the steps but approached Chen Mobai to pay respects.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Chen Mobai spoke politely to him, and the latter shook his head indicating it was his duty.
"When I came, I noticed quite a few sneaky individuals. Upon inquiry, I found out they were Immortal Gate populace who had heard ancient legends about Purple Cloud Palace and came to explore."
Lan Haitian mentioned this, and Chen Mobai thought they were members of the Ascension Sect initially, but upon hearing they were merely adventurers, he didn’t care. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
"The military department has already taken control of the entire Taixu Mountain Range, and they will soon be sent back..."
Before entering Purple Cloud Palace, Zhongli Tianyu, per Chen Mobai’s orders, dispatched twelve Starry Sky Battleships from the military department to completely isolate and protect this area, along with Chen Mobai’s Divine Consciousness Searching Heaven and Earth, ensuring no one would enter.
Lan Haitian felt reassured upon hearing this.
"Aren’t you going?"
Seeing him staying by his side without heading to climb the steps, Chen Mobai asked in surprise.
"By convention, Purple Cloud Palace will remain for forty-nine days, and Immortal Gate Nascent Soul cultivators can persist for no more than twelve days, so I certainly have time. Moreover, with only True Monarch outside, if anything troublesome happens, I can help avoid wearing you out."
Lan Haitian’s words made Chen Mobai all the more comforted.
No wonder Ying Guanghua valued him so highly before, even to the extent of transferring him from Kunpeng Daoist Institute; such a thoughtful and capable subordinate was rare in the Weapon Dancing Sect.
"This is Lin Daoming’s Void Blind Box, do you know what’s inside?"
Chen Mobai took out a silver sphere of light and asked Lan Haitian. With his skill in the path of the Void, extinguishing Lin Daoming without damaging the Domain was a breeze.
Time was tight back then, and after defeating Lin Daoming, there was still the Arch-Enemy, the King of the Underworld, so Chen Mobai only now had time to examine it.
"I don’t know."
Lan Haitian shook his head, confused as to why Chen Mobai was asking this.
"I sensed a familiar aura."
As Chen Mobai spoke, he expertly opened the Void Blind Box left by Lin Daoming.
Soon, he reached in and retrieved a piece of earth-yellow stone.
On the stone was a face Lan Haitian knew very well.
The face seemed alive, looking at the two with excitement.
"Hall Master Ying!"
Chen Mobai was very shocked, then quickly listened with Echoes in the Void, discovering Ying Guanghua’s Nascent Soul was locked onto the stone by a sinister Secret Technique, unable to transcend forever, only waiting for his soul to wither and perish.
"I beseech True Monarch to save Hall Master Ying!"
Seeing this, Lan Haitian immediately pleaded with Chen Mobai. His current status and power in the Three Great Halls were due to inheriting Ying Guanghua’s political legacy, treating Ying Guanghua as a mentor in his heart.
"This Secret Technique is unfamiliar, I’ll study it..."
Chen Mobai spoke while referencing the knowledge left by the Ascension Sect Hierarch in his mind, but found nothing.
It appeared to be Lin Daoming’s creation after advancing his cultivation level.
Yet this posed no obstacle for Chen Mobai; the Law of the Five Tones revealed its reality very soon.
Based on Earth True Power, supplemented by Formless Heavenly Demon Qi.
Since Ying Guanghua’s life was at stake, Chen Mobai was cautious, ensuring every aspect of the solution was considered before acting.
First, he protected Ying Guanghua with his Azure Bird Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect, then dissolved Earth True Power with Primordial True Qi, and finally eradicated all Demonic Qi with the Flame Lighting Technique.
Accompanied by a cracking sound, the earth-yellow stone shattered into fragments.
"I never thought, today I would see the light of day again!"
With Ying Guanghua liberated, his remaining Nascent Soul was tearfully joyous.
