Returning Home

Having his name on the Opening the Origin Hall signifies that Chen Mobai has officially become a member of the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect.

Because he would be taking up the position of principal at the Green Mulberry Academy in Yumu City, this city, one of the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands of the Immortal Sect, was assigned to his name.

Shortly after Chen Mobai received the Pentagram Badge representing his status as Councilor of the Opening the Origin Hall from Wang Shuye, Wen Ping, the City Lord Yumu City, called to inquire when the leader would arrive and what his requirements were for his office and residence.

Chen Mobai didn't know Wen Ping very well, so he only exchanged a few polite words and said that everything would be discussed after he arrived, and that everything should remain the same for now.

"Director Che said you are mature beyond your years. I didn't quite believe it at first. I thought a young talent like you should be arrogant and unrestrained. I didn't expect it to be true."

The speaker was Wang Shuye, a handsome and upright middle-aged man who was also the representative of the Wuqi Dao Academy in the Immortal Sect and held the highest position.

It is also a Nascent Infant Nurturing Pill made from a fifth-order Fifth Order Vermilion Fruit of the Golden Core stage. He has basically reserved one.

He is considered the leader of the official faction of the Wuqi Dao Academy, and Duanmu Longrong of the hermit faction are the Nascent Formation seeds that the Dao Academy will support next.

"I am so fortunate to have become Councilor of the Opening the Origin Hall this time, thanks to Senior Wang's mediation."

Chen Mobai said very politely that although he had risen to the top in one step and was Councilor of the Immortal Sect Opening the Origin Hall, which was the highest level of civil servants in the immortal sect, he still addressed Wang Shuye as a junior from the Wuqi Dao Academy.

"Haha, with your reputation, Ye Yun'e wouldn't dare to hold you back for too long. Even without me, she would have approved you after two or three tries."

Wang Shuye didn't explain why Ye Yun'e was blocking Chen Mobai, and the latter wisely refrained from asking.

After all, Ye Yun'e was considered to be among the highest level of the Immortal Sect, second only to those Nascent Soul cultivators, who wielded the most power.

With the Nascent Soul stage essentially detached from affairs, Gongye Zhixu, Ye Yun'e, Wang Shuye, and others were effectively the ones in charge of the Immortal Sect's system.

Ye Yun'e's blocking him must not be without reason, Chen Mobai decided to keep this in mind.

If he Nascent Formation one day, then bring this matter up again.

Chen Mobai was still a bit petty.

However, if no one Nascent Formation, or if Ye Yun'e Nascent Formation first, then it should be assumed that this matter never happened.

Until then, let's continue to cultivate in a low-key manner.

That evening, Chen Mobai and Wang Shuye had dinner together. The latter mentioned some people in the Immortal Sect Three Great Halls who needed to be watched. They were all powerful figures in the Immortal Sect, whose status was no less than his own.

Chen Mobai listened as he offered the toast.

Later, Wang Shuye also mentioned some benefits of Councilor of the Opening the Origin Hall, such as being able to apply for Third Grade high-quality spiritual energy from the Immortal Sect for free, as well as access to the Heavenly Curtain.

What is the Heavenly Curtain?

Chen Mobai always asks questions when he doesn't understand something.

"It is the pure Qi of the Heavenly Dipper Gang that covers the entire Earth Origin Star and the Earth's Fetal Membrane. When the Five Ancestors of the Immortal Sect arrived, these had already been destroyed by the previous civilization. They used their extraordinary abilities to combine them into the ' Heavenly Curtain.' If fully activated, it can be considered Sixth Order Great Formation."

"However, it is usually only used for basic functions. It is mainly used to absorb the Star Essence and the cosmic Taixu energy to supplement the Sixth Tier Spiritual Vein of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountain and support the cultivation of the two ancestors."

"You are a Pure Yang Scroll cultivator, and you can refine the essence of the Great Sun into Pure Yang Purple Qi. However, if you do not have this authority, the Great Sun essence that you have painstakingly obtained will be intercepted by the Heavenly Curtain, because all spiritual energy that enters the Earth Origin Star domain will be regarded as its own energy by the Heavenly Curtain."

After listening to Wang Shuye's explanation, Chen Mobai finally understood why he suddenly disappeared when he entered the sky above the Earth Origin Star when he used the Formless Puppet to condense Pure Yang Purple Qi. It turned out that he was working for the Heavenly Curtain.

After listening to Heavenly Curtain's introduction, fearing that there might be similar things he didn't know about in the Immortal Sect, he immediately continued to ask questions, and Wang Shuye patiently answered them one by one.

At the end, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should ask Wang Shuye about what Lan Haitan had told him, but then he thought that the matter was too complicated for Wang Shuye to handle, so he decided not to drag him into it.

Anyway, we've already reported it to the Dao Academy. No matter how big the matter is, Venerable Cheng Xuan will handle it.

Venerable Cheng Xuan couldn't hold on; there was still the Old Ancestor Bai Guang above him.

Their Wuqi Dao Academy has a powerful background. As long as Chen Mobai doesn't do anything illegal in the Immortal Sect, even if the mystery of Qing Nü's background involves the Ancestor Qianxing, they can protect him.

With this in mind, Chen Mobai felt his worries of the past few days suddenly disappear, and he was no longer troubled.

Before leaving, he naturally had to say goodbye to Qing Nü.

A light drizzle suddenly began to fall that day. Chen Mobai used the Crimson Cloud Mist Silk to transform it into a colorful cloud umbrella, which he placed over the two of them. The two walked side by side on a commercial street, and from a distance, they looked like a sweet young couple.

"I'm leaving."

"Um."

"Call me if anything happens. With my current status, I can at least guarantee your safety."

"I'm in Group Four, mainly responsible for medical research and experiments. There won't be any dangerous missions."

Qing Nü misunderstood, thinking that Chen Mobai was worried that she would be sent to participate in some kind of battle or killing in the Sky Mending Group.

"That's good."

Chen Mobai nodded gently, then suddenly stopped. He looked at Qing Nü with tender eyes, and she turned her head in surprise. The moment their eyes met, her pretty face flushed slightly and she involuntarily lowered her head.

Qing Nü: "What's wrong?"

Chen Mobai did not answer. He extended his right index finger and gently tapped his temple. Then, a wisp of Spiritual Sense containing mental intent was drawn from his Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness.

Then, he reached out and grasped Qing Nü's fair and delicate left hand. She struggled slightly for a moment, then let him hold it.

Qing Nü's heart was pounding. She thought she was finally going to get what she was waiting for. She was wondering whether to say yes or wait a while before saying yes when Chen Mobai's Spiritual Sense was already gently knocking on her heart.

Within the Immortal Sect, only those with the closest relationships communicate in this way, treating each other with complete honesty and sincerity.

Qing Nü hesitated for a moment, but then immediately lowered her guard and allowed Chen Mobai's Spiritual Sense to enter her Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness.

"Call me if you need anything."

After the two finished their telepathic exchange, Chen Mobai said those words again in a calm tone.

But by this time, Qing Nü had already realized the weight of those words.

This means that Chen Mobai is very likely to confront another Golden Core True Person because of her, or even face the dark forces hidden in the highest levels of the Immortal Sect.

Just as Chen Mobai released Qing Nü's hand and turned to leave, the latter suddenly rushed over and hugged him from behind, saying something in a slightly trembling voice.

"Promise me you won't investigate this because of me, okay?"

Feeling the gentle, jade-like beauty behind him, Chen Mobai was filled with doubt. When did he say he would investigate this matter for Qing Nü? He had only told her what Lan Haitan had said, telling her to be careful in the Sky Mending Group and not to be used by others as a reason to deal with the two Golden Core True Person in Vermilion Cloud City.

Could it be that these words caused Qing Nü to misunderstand?

Chen Mobai: "Don't worry, have you forgotten that I'm a graduate of the Wuqi Dao Academy? Besides the headmaster Venerable Cheng Xuan, our Dao Academy also has the Old Ancestor Bai Guang..."

Qing Nü: "You don't need to give up your promising future and choose to go to Yumu City for my sake."

Chen Mobai was speaking when Qing Nü suddenly sobbed slightly, interrupting him with some emotional agitation.

Chen Mobai: "I went to Yumu City mainly because it's close to home, it's not as complicated as you think..."

Qing Nü: "I know, you said that to put my mind at ease. I really don't deserve all that you've done, sob sob..."

"You've really misunderstood." Before Chen Mobai could finish speaking, Qing Nü had already gone from soft sobbing to loud crying.

Clear tears slid down her snow-white cheeks, soaking the back of Chen Mobai's clothes.

At this moment, Chen Mobai felt that she couldn't hear anything he said. Although it was raining, they were all cultivators, so there were quite a few people around the commercial street. They all stopped when they saw this scene, and some even took out their phones to record it.

Oh no!

Chen Mobai then realized that he seemed to be a celebrity.

He immediately rode the Crimson Cloud Mist Silk enveloped him and the weeping Qing Nü away.

Seeing that Qing Nü seemed a bit off, Chen Mobai had no choice but to cancel his ticket for today's departure and rebook the hotel for another day.

That day, Qing Nü cried in his arms for a long time, as if she had cried out all the pent-up emotions and feelings that had accumulated in her heart for more than 20 years since Kong Feichen and Yang Jing left.

Chen Mobai put himself in her shoes and thought about it from her perspective. Her two closest relatives were taken away by the cult, and although she was in the Immortal Sect, she was never trusted. After graduating from the Dao Academy, she was trapped in the Sky Mending Group, where she was constantly monitored.

Chen Mobai felt that he could only endure this kind of life for a few more years before he would definitely run away to the Sky River Realm.

Qing Nü, however, has persevered until now, simply because the Sky Mending Group possesses the most comprehensive intelligence on the Ascension Cult, enabling them to know news of their younger siblings immediately.

It's late at night.

No one knows when, but Qing Nü had cried herself to sleep in Chen Mobai's arms.

He dared not move rashly. Looking at her delicate face after the rain, he reached out and brushed away a few strands of black hair that had fallen to the corners of her mouth. His fingertips touched her fair and delicate cheeks and he couldn't help but gently stroke them.

This movement seemed to wake Qing Nü. She rubbed her eyes, looked up and saw Chen Mobai's gentle gaze. She relaxed, changed her position, and fell asleep again.

In the Immortal Sect, Chen Mobai was born into the Wuqi Dao Academy. He had a complete family and many friends. Everyone wanted to be his friend.

But Qing Nü, with her Heaven Spirit Root from the Goumang Dao Academy, only has Chen Mobai as a friend she can be completely honest with.

Only when she was with Chen Mobai could she completely let down her guard.

Qing Nü slept for a long time, and didn't wake up until mid-afternoon of the next day.

"I'm sorry, I haven't been able to fall asleep this relaxed in a long time."

Hearing her words, Chen Mobai felt a pang of heartache.

Qing Nü had told him that when she was resting in the Sky Mending Group, she only dared to close one eye, and she had always been under a high level of mental tension.

"How about I tell Lan Haitan that you should leave the Sky Mending Group and come with me to Yumu City?"

In a moment of impulsiveness, Chen Mobai uttered those words. Qing Nü's eyes flashed with a hint of emotion, but she immediately shook her head and lowered her head apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I still can't let go of Xiao Chen and Xiao Jing."

Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that she did not agree.

Bringing Qing Nü back to Yumu City with him means that even if he doesn't want to investigate that matter, the mastermind behind it will definitely assume he is her, and might even alert the enemy.

"No apology is needed. I respect all your decisions."

Chen Mobai's words moved Qing Nü even more, and she sobbed softly, tears welling up in her eyes.

The two parted ways the next morning.

Qing Nü escorted Chen Mobai to the Airport entrance, and only after his figure disappeared did she reluctantly turn back again and again before heading towards the Sky Mending Group.

[A warm welcome to the legendary Chen Mobai as he returns to his hometown!]

As soon as Chen Mobai stepped out of the Airport, he saw huge banners. Qin Baipeng, the City Lord of Vermilion Cloud City, was personally waiting for him with the leaders of various departments.

Beside Qin Baipeng were naturally Chen Xinglan and Tang Pancui.

"Why make such a fuss? I'm just going back to my hometown. I'm going to take up my post in Yumu City soon."

Chen Mobai pointed to the crowded people on the outside, the exaggerated banners, and the Support Signs with his full-body portrait, saying that he was being treated like Big Star Big Star. He shook his head and said.

His words prompted Qin Baipeng to quickly explain that this was a spontaneous welcome from the citizens, representing their pride in Chen Mobai, and not an official organization.

Chen Mobai decided to take it as a spontaneous gesture, as he didn't intend to take a populist approach. After waving to the crowded people outside, he led Qin Baipeng and the others away from the Airport.

Despite Tang Pancui's insistence on hosting a banquet, and with Qin Baipeng and others adding fuel to the fire, Chen Mobai's Core Formation home after achieving the Golden Core stage dominated the headlines in Vermilion Cloud City, maintaining a commanding lead in popularity.

After hosting a banquet for his classmates who came upon hearing the news, the Foundation Establishment from Vermilion Cloud City, the staff of various departments of the Immortal Sect, and his own relatives and friends, Chen Mobai finally had some free time.

My maternal grandfather, Tang Lu, also brought half the villagers to Vermilion Cloud City, because they were all related to them.

This was Tang Pancui's domain. She was the most excited person since Chen Mobai returned, personally entertaining every guest, even Chen Mobai's classmates.

Even after the banquet ended, her excitement hadn't subsided, so she went to the square where she often danced. Since Chen Mobai was the headline, people would mention him every time she went there, and she would casually say, "So you know my son Core Formation!"

Chen Mobai stayed in Vermilion Cloud City for a while, and people came to visit him every day.

Frustrated beyond measure, just as he was about to head to Yumu City, he suddenly received a call from an unexpected person.

"You little brat, you've grown wings and returned home Core Formation stage, but you don't even come to pay your respects to me, the local bigwig."

Listening to Yu Tianguang's words on the phone, Chen Mobai's expression became slightly strange.
