Return to the Sky River Realm

Normally, Chen Mobai would have brought some fruit to visit Yu Tianguang.

But now that he knew from Lan Haitan that he might be a member of the Ascension Cult, Chen Mobai, who was always cautious, did not want to risk meeting him, even though he had the Purple Lightning Sword in hand.

Moreover, in the eyes of the Immortal Sect, Yu Tianguang is now one of the suspects, and it would not be good for him to meet with him.

He simply used the excuse that he was about to take up a post in Yumu City to express his regret at not being able to come to the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy.

Yu Tianguang seemed somewhat displeased and hung up the phone immediately.

Chen Mobai didn't care whether this would alert the enemy, since it was a matter for the Sky Mending Group. However, since they had said so on the phone, he couldn't stay in Vermilion Cloud City any longer.

He said goodbye to his family that evening and left early the next morning.

Yumu City.

As one of the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands bordering Vermilion Cloud City, this city is most famous for its vast forestry resources. The spiritual wood used in Chen Mobai's Talisman Factory is all sourced from here.

Almost every household in Yumu City understands Spirit Plant, and each family plants a unique spiritual tree in their yard. These traditions come from Yu Zi, the most famous City Lord in the city.

Yu Zi is also the only Golden Core True Person in the history of Yumu City, and Fourth Grade Spirit Planter.

He led the city from traditional handicraft production to the forestry metropolis it is today, and formulated the greening regulations for the Immortal Sect.

The Jialan Elm he planted with his own hands, under the meticulous care of countless Spirit Planter over three thousand years, became the only Fourth Grade spiritual tree in Yumu City.

After Chen Mobai arrived, he first came here for a visit.

"Councilor Chen, this is Geda Courtyard. There is a Fourth Grade low-level Spirit Vein specially allocated by the Immortal Sect that runs directly here, just to support this Fourth Grade elm tree."

Wen Ping, the City Lord of Yumu City, led Chen Mobai to an antique courtyard. Right in the center of the courtyard was a tall spirit tree with lush green leaves and outstretched branches.

This place is also a famous historical site. When Chen Mobai was a child in Green Mountain Village, he heard his grandfather talk about it and was deeply impressed. So after arriving, he expressed his desire to pay homage to the ancestral site.

Yumu City naturally made arrangements for such a small request immediately.

Wen Ping was a gentle-looking, slender old man. He was Third Grade Spirit Planter and a local of Yumu City. He grew up here and studied at the Green Mulberry Academy. After graduating from Foundation Establishment, he Civil Service Examination and joined the Forestry Bureau, where he rose through the ranks step by step.

"I'll have someone tidy it up a bit later, and Councilor Chen can move in right away tonight."

As someone who could govern a city, Wen Ping was naturally a person who could understand subtle meanings. He thought that Chen Mobai wanted to take over this Geda Courtyard, after all, it was Fourth Tier Spiritual Vein.

"I'm just here to visit and experience the spirit of my predecessors; there's no need for me to stay here."

Chen Mobai immediately shook his head. He had just used his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye to check and found that the Spirit Vein energy in this Geda Courtyard was just enough to nourish the Fourth Grade Spirit Wood. If he moved in to cultivate, it would affect the growth of these Fourth Grade Spirit Wood.

Even if he did such a thing, no one in Yumu City would say anything to him, but if word got out, it would have a bad impact.

After all, the internet is so developed now, and he's currently very popular, so many people are waiting to ride his coattails.

My maternal grandfather, Tang Lu, once said that officials can do nothing, but they cannot do wrong.

The best way to avoid making mistakes is to do nothing.

Chen Mobai arrived in Yumu City and wasn't familiar with the group led by Wen Ping yet, so it was best for him not to do anything at first.

After visiting Geda Courtyard, Chen Mobai learned a little about the leaders of various departments in Yumu City, then politely declined all kinds of hints and temptations, and left with Song Mutu, the former principal of the Green Mulberry Academy who had come to wait for him.

Song Mutu is a teacher employed by the Goumang Dao Academy and Third Grade Spirit Planter. He is only one year younger than Wenren Xuewei.

"Senior Wenren is incredibly talented. I thought there was no one in the Immortal Sect with more outstanding talent than her, until Principal Chen appeared."

Song Mutu had an ordinary appearance, but he was very witty. He quickly used Wenren Xuewei both of them knew, to get closer to him.

"Haha, you flatter me. Compared to Senior Wenren has mastered the Evergreen Technique, my talent is still slightly inferior."

Chen Mobai didn't have many admirers in the Immortal Sect, but Wenren Xuewei was one of them. With the help of the resources of the Sky River Realm, he went through great hardships to raise his fire Spirit Root Value to over 80.

Wenren Xuewei, however, achieved the cultivation of the Evergreen Technique with three Heaven Spirit Root in a resource-scarce place like the Immortal Sect. In terms of talent, she is undoubtedly the number one in the Immortal Sect.

Most importantly, she is a Nascent Soul cultivator, and will definitely be able to take over the Goumang Dao Academy in the future, becoming one of the top figures in the Immortal Sect.

"Principal Chen, let me first introduce you to the basic information about the Green Mulberry Academy..."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two arrived at the school. Compared to the Two Great Academies in Vermilion Cloud City, which were built on mountains, this place was a plain. However, different kinds of spirit trees were planted in circles according to the plan, and some young boys and girls were observing and taking care of them in groups.

Green Mulberry Academy was initially a joint venture between the Wuqi Dao Academy and Goumang Dao Academy, established to raise spirit silkworms and obtain silk to Dance Weapon Red Black Robe Wuqi and the Gomang Immortal Green Shirt.

Previously, Wuqi Dao Academy had raised some fire silkworms here, but as the scale grew, the mulberry tree resources became insufficient, so they brought in experts from the Goumang Dao Academy to help.

Green Mulberry Academy has been established for over 500 years and is now the number one institution in the Immortal Sect for both sericulture and mulberry cultivation.

Besides these, the textile department is also famous, and the cultivation of various spirit trees other than mulberry trees is also on the list of knowledge taught by the academy.

"Teacher Song deserves immense credit."

After hearing this, Chen Mobai was very satisfied with the Green Mulberry Academy. Among the Hundred and Twenty Mansions in the Immortal Sect, they are basically specialized in certain fields. For example, the Longevity Academy in Chicheng Cave Heaven is dedicated to the study of lifespan.

The fact that Green Mulberry Academy has achieved first place in two majors is a testament to the hard work and dedication of its past principals.

"Not at all, I was just doing my duty. With Principal Chen's arrival, our school will definitely be able to achieve more first place in our majors in the future."

As Song Mutu spoke modestly, a group of students walked towards them.

The teacher in charge was a handsome young man. He naturally recognized Song Mutu and immediately came over to greet him. Then he saw Chen Mobai and his expression changed slightly.

"I have met Principal Chen and Vice Principal Song."

Chen Mobai has been all over the news in the Immortal Sect lately. Although the news of his choice to become the principal of the Green Mulberry Academy has not yet spread outside, the academy has already received a notice from the Ministry of Education. So when he saw him, the young teacher hesitated for a moment, but still called him principal directly.

"Hello, Ms. Gu. You can continue teaching your class now."

Song Mutu nodded and said to the young teacher.

"Have we met before?"

Just as the young teacher was about to leave, Chen Mobai suddenly said something.

"Principal, you may have a bad memory. When I was young, I had the honor of sharing a train with you. My name is Gu Mingxuan."

Gu Mingxuan didn't hide anything and looked up at Chen Mobai.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai looked at his face and indeed found that scene in his memory.

It was him.

Back then, the young and impetuous Chen Mobai met him, Shi Wanyu, Wen Xiong, and others on the train, and put on quite a show.

In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed.

"If you have time, Professor Gu, you can come and sit in my office sometime."

Chen Mobai spoke to Gu Mingxuan, who hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and turned to leave.

"I didn't expect that Principal Chen would know Teacher Gu. He passed the Second Grade Spirit Planter assessment in the Military Department and is also a new teacher that our Green Mulberry Academy is focusing on cultivating."

After Gu Mingxuan left, Song Mutu began to explain his background and the reason for joining the company.

Among the Immortal Sect, only a few are capable of Foundation Establishment stage.

Aside from the Daoist Academy, which can ensure that every teacher is at least at the Foundation Establishment, only the principals and key head teachers in the Hundred and Twenty Mansions possess this level of attainment.

The other instructors are mostly at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, but they will ensure that they have Second Grade professional certificate from the Immortal Sect.

Gu Mingxuan was one of them.

After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded, not paying any attention to it. He was just a little surprised to run into an acquaintance.

The two continued their visit to the Mulberry Garden and Sericulture Courtyard of the Green Mulberry Academy...

"Teacher Gu, is that our new principal?"

"He's so young, he looks about the same age as us."

"After all, he is the youngest Core Formation among all the Golden Core True Person in the Immortal Sect today."

After Chen Mobai left, the students in Gu Mingxuan's class began to discuss excitedly.

Someone even started recording a video on their phone just now, and it's almost edited and uploaded now.

After all, these days, as long as the title includes the name Chen Mobai, the traffic will skyrocket.

"Let's go, classmates, today we're going to observe Agarwood."

Gu Mingxuan immediately interrupted their excitement and brought them back to the reality of class. However, as he led the students away, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Mobai's back, and a trace of sadness flashed through his heart.

Back on the train, although the two of them were worlds apart, he at least had the mentality of comparison.

But now, it's a completely different dimension.

Thinking about what he knew, a struggle flashed in Gu Mingxuan's eyes, but he still sighed.

Chen Mobai is already Golden Core True Person!

He was also the supreme ruler of the entire Yumu City.

He's just a lowly cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer; let's just leave him be.

After learning about the Green Mulberry Academy from Song Mutu, Chen Mobai followed the established rules and allowed the academy to continue operating as before.

After all, he came here to be the principal mainly for peace and quiet.

If I were to interfere in the operation of the academy, regardless of whether it would improve things, at least some of my energy would be diverted. I should use that time to properly manage the Sky River Realm.

After spending seven days at the Green Mulberry Academy, Chen Mobai chose a detached courtyard not far from the school as his home. Given his current status, he naturally bought it directly.

Then, we need to apply to the Immortal Sect for a high-grade Third Grade- tier Spirit Vein. This is a perk of being Councilor of the Opening the Origin Hall; it's free.

The Spirit Vein veins of the Third Grade and above needed to be modified. Fortunately, the source of these Third Grade Spirit Vein was in the Green Mulberry Academy, and it was his business as Golden Core True Person. So, in just three days, under Wen Ping's personal supervision, the spiritual energy was delivered to Chen Mobai's new home in Yumu City.

Two months passed quickly, and Chen Mobai became familiar with everything here. Meanwhile, Yumu City and Green Mulberry Academy, under his deliberate downplaying of his presence and indifference, went from initial turmoil to a state of calm.

Wen Ping and Song Mutu spoke highly of Chen Mobai. When chatting with their colleagues and alumni, they all said that Councilor Chen (the principal) was good at recognizing and utilizing talent, and was reasonable. After he took office, the atmosphere in the city's schools became more positive, and the trees grew even better.

Under these circumstances, Chen Mobai left behind a Formless Puppet and returned to the Sky River Realm.

Rumble! Chen Mobai, who emerged from a Cave Mansion in a Wild Mountain, looked at the dark clouds that suddenly appeared in the sky, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy that was frantically gathering, and the flashing lightning, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Just as he had predicted, after Core Formation and returning to the Sky River Realm, he would have to undergo Heavenly Tribulation.

Although he was 70-80% confident that he could easily overcome the tribulation, he decided to return to the Divine Wood Sect and use the sect's Grand Array to Undergo Tribulation again to ensure a 100% success rate.

As he unleashed the Great Return to Origin Secret Art, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power within his dantian and sea of qi began to conceal itself within his Myriad Laws Body. As his cultivation level continued to decline, the Tribulation Thunder in the sky, which had initially been flashing wildly, gradually began to hesitate and waver, eventually disappearing slowly because it could not find its target.

Chen Mobai nodded as he watched the dark clouds in the sky dissipate.

This Return to Origin Secret Art is indeed extraordinary, but unfortunately, because of this secret technique, one of the most obedient little disciples went missing.

Chen Mobai couldn't help but sigh again when he thought of Luo Yixuan.

However, now that he Core Formation, he can at least handle things calmly in this Eastern Wasteland. Hopefully, nothing bad has happened to his little disciple during the years he Core Formation.

After determining the direction, Chen Mobai rode the Crimson Cloud Mist Silk toward the Eastern Wasteland.

This place is between the Eastern Yi and the Eastern Wasteland, where endless mountains and dense forests lurk some inexplicable strange creatures and Demon Beast. Without a cultivator familiar with the paths to lead the way, it is easy to get lost in it and turn into bones.

When Chen Mobai left the Divine Wood Sect, he ostensibly went to the Golden Crow Immortal City in the Sun Bathing Sea to Core Formation, but in reality, after leaving the Eastern Wasteland, he went straight back to the Immortal Sect.

However, in order to attract attention, he still sent one of his Formless Puppet to Eastern Yi.

Now that I have successfully Core Formation, I can take back the Puppetry.

Chen Mobai closed his eyes and activated his Spiritual Sense, only to find that the Formless Puppet seemed to be trapped somewhere and unable to move. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He sensed that the place was not far from him.
