Great Battle Began

Chen Mobai had also had doubts about Qing Nü's origins.

However, after listening to Kong Feichen recount their childhood stories, Chen Mobai felt that the situation was too complex and it was better for him to remain ignorant.

After hearing what Wenren Xuewei said today, and combining it with what he already knew, Chen Mobai felt even more confused, and had a feeling that there might be a very big secret of the Immortal Sect hidden here.

He recalled that when Kong Feichen handed over the Sky Swallowing Snake to him back at the Goumang Dao Academy, he had mentioned that this matter involved the Three Great Hall Lords of the Immortal Sect.

If that's really the case, even a Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to protect them.

Chen Mobai began to worry about Qing Nü. As one of his best friends, he was quite familiar with Qing Nü's personality.

She's in the Sky Mending Group, and it's unclear whether she's heeded any advice. If they're still investigating her childhood, the closer they get to the truth, the deeper they'll likely sink into an abyss.

"Besides you, is anyone else aware of this?"

Chen Mobai asked with a solemn expression. Wenren Xuewei hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently.

"The principal knows, but she told me not to worry about it and to treat them as ordinary students."

The principal of the Goumang Dao Academy is none other than Peach Blossom Venerable.

However, as Qing Nü with Heaven Spirit Root, Qing Nu's background would definitely be thoroughly investigated by the Goumang Dao Academy before she was allowed to enter the Dao Academy without taking the exam.

Given the power of the Goumang Dao Academy, they should be able to access some of the truth about what happened in her childhood. Since Peach Blossom Venerable has this attitude, then at least the Immortal Sect are friendly towards Qing Nü, who has a Heaven Spirit Root.

After hearing Wenren Xuewei's words, Chen Mobai felt a little relieved.

However, he had already made a mental note of this matter, and if he were to rise to a high position in the Immortal Sect in the future, he would definitely make an example of it.

"Thank you for the reminder, senior."

Chen Mobai thanked Wenren Xuewei politely, and she smiled slightly in response.

At this time, the Immortal Sect Professional Certification Department had already prepared the Third-Grade Puppeteer Certificate and seals for the four of them.

"Come on, it's rare for you to come all this way, so I'll treat you today. All four of you should come too."

On the other side, Hong Mengkui had already invited Che Yucheng to reminisce, while waving to Chen Mobai and the other three.

The group of six arrived at a very elegant restaurant in Chicheng Cave Heaven. The two big shots sat together drinking tea and chatting, and their conversation unexpectedly turned to Bian Jingchun.

"I haven't thanked you yet for using the True Dragon Cauldron to cultivate."

"It's a small matter. No matter how high-level Magic Artifact is, it can only play its role when it's needed. Besides being your disciple, she is also a graduate of our Dao Academy. If I can help her lay the foundation for forming Core Formation core and transforming into a dragon, it will be considered an achievement during my tenure."

Che Yucheng spoke casually. As the dean of academic affairs at the Wuqi Dao Academy, although he was often distracted by various trivial matters, he always put education first.

Chen Mobai had been at the Dao Academy for nearly ten years and had never seen Che Yucheng miss a single Puppetry lesson.

However, when it comes to Bian Jingchun, Chen Mobai almost forgot about this senior.

It seems she's still cultivating the Dragon Transformation Scripture in the Myriad Treasures Cave using the True Dragon Cauldron. I wonder how much Merit Points she has to expend to borrow Fourth Tier Magic Tool? The True Dragon Cauldron probably doesn't earn as much as the Purple Lightning Sword. If I want to cultivate the Dragon Transformation Scripture in the future, I absolutely can't offer such high treatment again.

Chen Mobai now regrets giving Purple Lightning Sword a High-grade Spirit Stone a year. He should have asked Pei Azurefrost about the market price beforehand, which might have saved him more than half.

After completing the Formless Puppet, Chen Mobai had already finished his graduation project for the Wuqi Dao Academy ahead of schedule.

After celebrating for two days with their three partners, Zhou Tiangong, Chai Lun, Wenren Xuewei, they went their separate ways.

After all, they were all Foundation Establishment True Cultivator cultivators. Even the lowest-ranking Chai Lun was the owner of a company. He hadn't taken any orders for almost a year because of the Formless Puppet matter, and now he was in a hurry to go back and save his Puppetry manufacturing company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy.

As the chief engineer of Heaven's Craftsmanship Artifact Factory, Zhou Tiangong was the busiest of the four, and he only stayed at the celebration for half a day before taking his leave.

Finally, Chen Mobai went to see Wenren Xuewei and Chai Lun off.

"I'm probably about to Core Formation, so you need to hurry up too, or we'll have to wait too long ahead."

Before leaving, Wenren Xuewei said something joking to Chen Mobai, which made him pause slightly.

"Evergreen Technique is truly amazing."

Hearing this, Chai Lun looked on with envy. In the entire Immortal Sect, only Wenren Xuewei didn't need to wait for the Core Formation Spiritual Object.

"I may need another twenty years, after all, I still need to cultivate the Pure Yang Dharma Body to the Six Yang Realm."

Chen Mobai thought of his plan to Core Formation, and with a sudden inspiration, he first revealed it to his two close friends to lay the groundwork for the future.

"Oh, do you perhaps have a seniority from your ancestors that you can inherit?"

Chai Lun looked surprised. Besides, even Pei Azurefrost, a second-generation immortal, had to endure sixty years of hardship before she was qualified to exchange for Core Formation Spiritual Object.

"I want to try Core Formation without Core Formation Spiritual Object."

Chen Mobai's casual remark made Wenren Xuewei's eyes light up.

She looked at the handsome and confident young man before her, a strange light appearing in her eyes.

"What you're saying isn't impossible. However, failing to Core Formation and Foundation Establishment Failure are not the same thing. Many people probably only have one chance in their entire lives. You are exceptionally talented. If you are delayed at this step and cannot realize your full potential, it will be a great loss to the Immortal Sect and the Dao Academy. You should be more cautious."

Chai Lun was mature and prudent, and he cared a lot about his junior, Chen Mobai, fearing that his Potential for Spirit Transmutation would be wasted halfway, so he couldn't help but offer some words of advice.

"The opportunity that the senior mentioned is because in the Immortal Sect system, most people can only exchange for one Core Formation Spiritual Object."

"If I try to Core Formation without using Core Formation Spiritual Object, even if I fail, I will not only gain experience, but it will also not affect my ability to exchange for Core Formation Spiritual Object."

"With the aid of elixirs, the chances of success are actually higher during the second Core Formation."

Chen Mobai gave a seemingly plausible reason, but after listening to it, Chai Lun found that it was indeed true and wondered if he could do the same.

"Without Core Formation Spiritual Object to protect the dantian and Purple Mansion, the backlash from Core Formation failed core formation will leave most cultivators with incomplete Dao Body. Junior Brother Chen, you should be more careful."

Wenren Xuewei's words shattered Chai Lun's illusions. Relying on the profoundness of the Evergreen Technique, she had already attempted to Core Formation several times and possessed the most extensive experience in this area among the Immortal Sect.

"Don't worry, I won't force myself when I first try to Core Formation. If I sense any signs of failure, I will dissipate my spiritual power. At worst, I can start over. It won't take more than a few decades."

Since Chen Mobai had already said that, Wenren Xuewei and Chai Lun stopped trying to persuade him.

After seeing the two off, Chen Mobai returned to Chicheng Mountain.

What are your plans next?

In Che Yucheng's office in Building One, the master and apprentice were chatting and drinking tea in a relaxed manner.

"I'm thinking of going to the Sky Mending Dao Academy."

Facing Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai had nothing to hide and spoke the truth.

"I agree with this. Although I'm reluctant to admit it, Mending Heaven is indeed the most powerful sect among the Immortal Sect. If you go there to gain experience, it will be much easier for you to do things within the system in the future."

Among the Immortal Sect Upper Echelon, those with backgrounds in the Sky Mending Dao Academy make up almost half of the ranks.

Transform into a spirit that Star Pulling.

Immortal Affairs Hall Master, Law Enforcement Hall Master.

In addition, the current principal, Venerable Yuanxu, the principal of the Supreme Origin Academy, Venerable Qingping, and the principal of the Star Gazing Academy Plum Blossom Venerable, also studied and trained at the Sky Mending Dao Academy.

If Chen Mobai has the background of the Sky Mending Dao Academy, his Qidian will be very high if he enters officialdom in the future, and he may even become Three Great Hall Lords.

"Moreover, if you can master the Square Inch Book, it will be of great help in breaking through cultivation realms in the future."

Che Yucheng added that among the Seven Great Spirit Transmutation Techniques of Immortal Sect, Square Inch Book, although it is also a cultivation technique, is actually more inclined towards the cultivation of Spiritual Sense and mental state. It is compatible with any cultivation technique and is known as the number one auxiliary cultivation technique of the Immortal Sect.

After hearing this, Chen Mobai recalled the scene of fighting with Ling Dao Shi Lou Fengcheng at the Goumang Dao Academy. Although they were both inferior to him, they had almost tested all of his trump cards when they were about to lose.

That kind of detached, purely rational fighting style left a very deep impression on Chen Mobai.

"Then I will apply to Director Fu Borong."

After talking with Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai also decided on his future plans after graduation.

Since he has already completed the Formless Puppet and is firmly in first place in his graduation project, he can stay away from the Dao Academy for the next six months.

After leaving Building One, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but still called Yan Bingxuan.

After graduation, I plan to study at the Sky Mending Dao Academy for five years.

Okay, I'll apply right away.

After saying all that, the two fell silent again.

Yan Bingxuan was a man of few words, and Chen Mobai didn't know how to handle her feelings. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he hung up the phone.

I wonder if she will be able to pass the postgraduate Graduate Exam and get into the Sky Mending Dao Academy?

Chen Mobai thought about it and actually hoped that she would fail, so that he wouldn't have to face it.

But upon closer examination of my own heart, I realized that I actually hoped she would succeed.

He wanted to relive the memories of going to school together with her.

During high school, the two only truly got to know each other and develop a friendship in the last month before the College Entrance Exam. But even those few interactions were precious memories for Chen Mobai.

If he had spent five years at the Sky Mending Dao Academy, would those memories have become even more cherished? Thinking this, Chen Mobai couldn't help but smile.

Immediately, he suddenly felt the Pure Yang Spiritual Power in his dantian and dantian being affected by his emotions, and it suddenly began to condense and increase.

It's time for a breakthrough!

Chen Mobai sensed this and smiled slightly.

He teleported from his wooden house to Little South Mountain, then took out a Mid-grade Spirit Stone and began to absorb spiritual energy and refine it.

At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy on the mountaintop began to converge towards the wooden house, forming extremely magnificent and dazzling clouds and colorful light.

"This is..."

Xue Ting was harvesting Spirit Rice with Zhuo Ming at the foot of the mountain, was shocked to see this scene.

"It must be that Master has made a breakthrough in his cultivation."

Zhuo Ming was not surprised by this at all. The last time Chen Mobai took a set of Longevity Tree Fruit, the situation was even more exaggerated.

"Uncle-Master Chen, you are indeed a true genius."

Xue Ting had also witnessed Lan Lingping's aura during her cultivation, but compared to Chen Mobai, she was far inferior in both spiritual energy and imposing presence.

The thought that Chen Mobai was only a thirty-year-old boy while Lan Lingping was over a hundred years old filled him with emotion.

"It's quite a coincidence. You can say goodbye to your master before you leave."

Xue Ting has been studying at Little South Mountain for more than half a year and has already gone through a complete cycle of planting and harvesting Fire Spirit Rice with Zhuo Ming.

The Fire Spirit Rice that has been harvested is also going to be sold to the Blowing Snow Palace, and Xue Ting will deliver it there when she leaves.

I had originally thought that I might not be able to say goodbye to Chen Mobai before leaving, but now that I see the situation, I guess the latter has made a breakthrough in his cultivation and will be coming out of seclusion soon.

The summit of Little South Mountain.

Chen Mobai opened his clear eyes, placed the Spirit Stone that had turned into Spirit Essence in his palm into his storage bag, and happily felt the vast Pure Yang Spiritual Power in his dantian.

Finally, I've reached the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer.

If it weren't for the time spent refining the Formless Puppet, I probably could have broken through a month earlier, but it's about the same now.

Before graduation, Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, which was far above average even in the thousands of years of history of the Wuqi Dao Academy.

After some self-assessment, I realized that although I wasn't at the Potential for Spirit Transmutation, I was at least no worse than Ling Dao Shi, Taishi Shu, Sect Son.

Based solely on the cultivation level of the Pure Yang Scroll, Chen Mobai and the other three are rightfully called the Four Chief, and there is no need for him to feel guilty.

We need to continue our efforts and strive to emulate Lan Haitan and Yan Qiongzhi, Open Up Golden Core Domain when we reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

Full of pride, Chen Mobai stood up and activated the Cloud Mist Formation.

Immediately, Zhuo Ming and Xue Ting, who were at the foot of the mountain, came up.

"Greetings, Master!"

"Greetings, Uncle-Master Chen!"

Chen Mobai nodded, gesturing for the two of them to get up.

A short while later, Liu Wenbai and Luo Yixuan also arrived. The former had been in Little South Mountain recently because he was dealing with the matter of selling Fire Spirit Rice to the Blowing Snow Palace.

"Wen Bai, please take this opportunity to escort Xue Ting back."

After being reminded by Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai remembered that the female cultivator from the Blowing Snow Palace was about to return. He touched his storage bag and took out a Purple Fire Sword Talisman.

"You've worked hard at Little South Mountain these past six months. Consider this Sword Talisman a gift; it can save your life in a critical moment."

"This is too precious, Xue Ting dares not accept it."

Chen Mobai was generous, but Xue Ting knew the rules. She was very grateful for the time she had spent in Little South Mountain over the past six months, so she dared not accept any more Second Grade Talisman.

"Take it. I drew it myself. It's not worth more than a few Spirit Stone."

Although Chen Mobai said this, Xue Ting knew that the "Purple Fire Sword Talisman" was a powerful Talisman renowned by the Divine Wood Sect. Even Foundation Establishment Cultivator would be seriously injured if caught off guard, making it extremely precious.

After repeatedly declining, Xue Ting excitedly stretched out her hands and solemnly accepted the Second Grade Talisman from Chen Mobai's hands.

"This is how to use it, but if you want to activate your Ice Spiritual Power, you need to convert it a little."

Chen Mobai taught her once, Xue Ting's comprehension was better than he had imagined; she immediately remembered and understood it.

"Uncle-Master Chen, these past six months have been the most relaxing time I've ever had since I started cultivating."

Before descending the mountain, Xue Ting, her expression filled with excitement, bowed deeply to Chen Mobai once again.

"May we meet again someday."

Chen Mobai nodded and said those words.

In his mind, this female Qi Refining from the Blowing Snow Palace was merely a small fragment of his long life.

After selling another batch of Fire Spirit Rice, Chen Mobai earned another 150 Mid-grade Spirit Stone.

He, along with Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan, began preparing for the planting of Fire Spirit Rice in the second half of the year, while also keeping an eye on the Green Jade Spirit Rice that had been planted at the beginning of last year.

"Having a lot of spiritual energy means you're good-looking."

Looking at the tender green seedlings that had already grown, Chen Mobai couldn't help but feel gratified.

Due to the scarcity of spiritual energy in the Immortal Sect, after the Second Tier Spirit Rice matures, many of them need to be stored in the Spirit Field for the same number of years before they can be planted again.

However, the Sky River Realm does not have such concerns at all.

After inspecting the fifty acres of Spirit Field, Chen Mobai and his two disciples started a picnic again. He was completely unaware that Xue Ting was missing compared to the last time.

"By the way, Xuan'er, please make a trip to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion later. The Sect Leader promised me last time that he would put three Green Wood Sha on the market, but I was busy with my seclusion and forgot to exchange them. Could you please do me a favor?"

"Yes, Master."

Luo Yixuan obediently accepted the Sect Token that Chen Mobai handed her. In the afternoon, Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming continued to inspect the thousand acres of Spirit Field, while she went to take care of some business.

However, when Luo Yixuan returned that evening, she brought with her the Sect Leader's decree.

On the Lei Kingdom Border, Divine Wood Sect and Mountain Shaking Peak are now engaged in battle.

Zhou Wangshen and Xie Yuntian mobilized the aristocratic cultivators of the entire Lei Kingdom, as well as the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, and recruited Rogue Cultivator from other countries, totaling three thousand cultivators. They set up a large Battle Formation and stormed into the territory of the Yan Kingdom.

However, Ji Dingjin was no pushover. Although his number of cultivators was less than that of the Divine Wood Sect, the body Spell Duel on the summit of Mountain Shaking Peak were all experts in combat. In addition, he spared no expense in using spirit Spirit Stone to recruit many Tribulation cultivators to help him. He actually managed to hold off the Divine Wood Sect's army of cultivators on the front lines of the border battlefield.

The two sides are now locked in a battle of attrition, with cultivators dying and being injured every moment on the border between the Lei Kingdom and Yan Kingdom.

The entire Eastern Wasteland has focused its attention on this event, waiting for the Core Formation Ancestors of the two sects to make their appearance.

However, Chen Mobai knew that Old Ancestor Fu had a Puppet Body hidden near the battlefield, which was used to guard against possible Core Formation level combat forces at the Mountain Shaking Peak Han.

The imperial edict issued by Chu Zuoshu instructed Chen Mobai to make preparations.

The Divine Wood Sect is currently gathering a second batch of cultivators, including not only the sect's disciples but also independent Rogue Cultivator and aristocratic families from the Four Kingdoms under its jurisdiction. Just like Green Light Island defends against the attack of Demon Beast, they distribute Spirit Stone daily.

With generous rewards, there will inevitably be Rogue Cultivator.

The Divine Wood Sect has now recruited more than two hundred Rogue Cultivator, but the situation is more complicated with the aristocratic families. Due to their connections, although Chu Zuoshu issued a recruitment order, very few responded.

The entire Six Great Families of Jian Country could barely muster sixty people, and most of them were only at the second or third level of Qi Refining.

Since the commander of the second batch of cultivators was Chen Mobai, and he was also the garrison commander of the Jian Country, Chu Zuoshu wanted him to make a trip to try to reach a total of one hundred.
