Return to the Sect

"You are the master of the Purple Lightning Sword, and my daughter is the master of the Azurefrost Sword. If you two practice the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Script together and condense the Nine Heavens Pure Spiritual Purple Qi, your chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage will be greatly increased. In the future, you will be the second pair of Qingshi and Qingjing. Wouldn't it be great if you could become an enviable couple with your two swords combined?"

Peach Blossom Venerable persuaded her again, which was also the biggest reason why she wanted Chen Mobai to be her son-in-law.

With her as a backer, Pei Azurefrost will definitely have no problem Core Formation. Even if she fails this time, she can still exchange her seniority as a Nascent Soul cultivator for another Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill Rejuvenation Pill for Pei Azurefrost.

However, even she couldn't provide a second one for Pei Azurefrost if Nascent Formation.

In other words, if Pei Azurefrost cannot Nascent Soul Formation Success in one attempt, she may be stuck at the Core Formation Realm for the rest of her life.

Among the Immortal Sect, the one that can increase the chances of Nascent Formation and is most suitable for Pei Azurefrost is the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Script.

Although her daughter has not yet become spiritually connected with the Azurefrost Sword, Peach Blossom Venerable knows that it is only a matter of time. As long as Pei Azurefrost can Core Formation and her cultivation level increases, the Azure Azurefrost Sword, seeing hope, will eventually yield.

The combination of Purple Lightning Azure Frost allows for a more effortless absorption of Two Energies, refining them into the Nine Heavens Pure Spiritual Purple Qi. Given Peach Blossom Venerable's status, he is aware of this.

Upon reading Lan Haitan's report on the slaying of the Flower Blooming Courtyard Master, Peach Blossom Venerable was utterly shocked to learn that Chen Mobai had actually Human Sword Mutual Control with the Purple Lightning Sword, and that his Sword Heart Clear and Bright and focused.

She knew best about her daughter's talent in swordsmanship. Although she had given her daughter special instruction with Enlightenment Tea, her daughter was only inferior to four others, including Hao Cao and Nangong Xuanyu, within the Immortal Sect.

But compared to Chen Mobai, the gap is just too big!

All I can say is that his Potential for Spirit Transmutation is terrifying! With his own daughter as a stark contrast, Peach Blossom Venerable was now completely convinced of Chen Mobai's status as the number one genius of the Immortal Sect.

This is one of the reasons why she accepted the mission in Vermilion Cloud City.

"Let's see if we can find a suitable son-in-law!" "Thank you for your kindness, but I feel that relying on outsiders and external things to help me Nascent Formation is not a solid foundation, so I want to form my Nascent Formation on my own."

Since Chen Mobai refused from the beginning, he naturally wouldn't make him go back on his word later.

However, he still came up with an excuse, saying that if he were to Nascent Formation in the future, he would use the Purple Lightning Sword to help Pei Azurefrost without affecting his foundation.

Upon hearing this, Peach Blossom Venerable's expression turned somewhat cold.

Relying on herself to Nascent Formation?! What a joke! Even a spiritual Spirit Plant with such a solid foundation as hers needs the continuous dripping of Myriad Transformation Thunder Water from the sages of the Goumang Dao Academy to take form.

She admitted that the young man might have the potential to become Potential for Spirit Transmutation, but he was a bit too confident and arrogant.

It seems we should wait until he's suffered enough before seeking a son-in-law.

Master Peach Blossom has a long lifespan and is confident that he can wait until Chen Mobai reaches the Golden Core stage before hitting a wall.

Behind Peach Blossom Venerable was a group of young men and women with youthful faces. Although they were all at the Foundation Establishment stage, it was easy to tell at a glance that they were students of the Goumang Dao Academy who had not yet left the ivory tower.

At this moment, they all looked at Chen Mobai with expressions of reverence.

In the last two or three decades, Chen Mobai has been a legend in the Daoist Academy and the goal they all want to pursue.

Today, Chen Mobai's resolute rejection of Peach Blossom Venerable and his expression of confidence in his Nascent Formation shocked and impressed them even more! Neither stunning beauty nor the opportunity to Nascent Formation could make him bow his head in admiration.

Is this the confidence and Dao heart of the number one genius of the Immortal Sect? "In that case, I'll take over here. You can leave now."

After Chen Mobai refused again, the smile on Peach Blossom Venerable's face disappeared. With a gentle wave of his sleeve, he turned and walked directly towards the Jade Wutong Tree.

How could he turn on me so suddenly! Chen Mobai was a little unaccustomed to Peach Blossom Venerable's manner. Everyone in the Immortal Sect was always very polite to him.

"That's just how the principal is; he's straightforward and doesn't like beating around the bush."

Qing Nü, however, came over and explained to Chen Mobai.

Perhaps because of the transformation of a spirit into human form, Peach Blossom Venerable Soul stage as soon as he took Nascent Soul Realm, unlike Venerable Water Immortal who spent ten years at the Kunpeng Daoist Academy. In terms of his conduct, he was particularly free-spirited and said whatever he wanted.

After all, she Qidian at the Nascent Soul stage, and only the Spirit Transmutation Ancestor in the entire Immortal Sect could make her wary.

Therefore, Peach Blossom Venerable was naturally very unhappy to hear Chen Mobai repeatedly reject his good intentions.

If it weren't for the fact that the Wuqi Dao Academy behind this little guy had a Nascent Soul cultivator named Old Ancestor Bai Guang, Peach Blossom Venerable would definitely not have let it go so easily.

However, Chen Mobai was secretly pleased after hearing Peach Blossom Venerable's words to send people away.

"Then I'll have to trouble you here, Master."

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Mobai happily tidied up the tea table and tea set he had placed on the hilltop, and left with a relaxed expression.

This guy...

Seeing Chen Mobai's appearance, Peach Blossom Venerable was even angrier. In the past, when she was in the Dao Academy, she could just put on a stern face and the people below would just smile helplessly. They would basically agree to any request she made.

"Principal, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

At this moment, Qing Nü also came over and asked Peach Blossom Venerable a question.

"We'll be setting up the Water Element Clear River Grand Array later. I remember you have the Water Spiritual Root, right? You'll be able to help out."

Peach Blossom Venerable called Qing Nü to a stop. This time, she brought a group of students from the Goumang Dao Academy with her, treating the mission as a practical training exercise. With Qing Nü, an outstanding graduate, helping her, her life would be much easier.

"Oh..."

Upon hearing this, Qing Nü's smiling face, which had been beaming because Chen Mobai had rejected Peach Blossom Venerable, instantly fell, and she lowered her head and responded.

"Lan Haitan, you lead the people of the Immortal Sect to suppress the Fire Vein of Danxia Mountain in these places with spirit nails. After I direct the students to drive the array flags in, then release them..."

Soon, Peach Blossom Venerable began to give instructions. With a sweep of his slender right hand, a huge three-dimensional map appeared, vividly displaying the entire Danxia Mountain Range. Then, with a movement of his left hand, a blue-green Formation Diagram appeared on the three-dimensional map and fell down. The two overlapped, and immediately red and blue lights began to light up.

The red dot represents the Fire Vein Spiritual Pivot that Lan Haitan needs to suppress with spirit nails.

The blue dots indicate the positions where students from the Goumang Dao Academy need to insert their formation flags.

Everyone present was at least Foundation Establishment Cultivator. After Peach Blossom Venerable explained it once with three-dimensional graphics, they basically understood it completely.

Then, through continuous adjustments, they began to Suppress Fire Vein, Spirit Plant, and set up Grand Array...

When Chen Mobai arrived at the foot of the mountain, he looked back and saw that the operation was already in full swing on the mountain, so he left with peace of mind.

With Peach Blossom Venerable in charge, even if the true form of the Divine Imperial Pavilion Master came, he wouldn't be able to turn the tide!

Moreover, because of the incident Flower Blooming Courtyard Master, Vermilion Cloud City is probably now on the Immortal Sect's Key List. From now on, the Sky Mending Group will definitely focus on protecting it, so there's no need to worry about it being infiltrated and lurked by the Ascension Cult again.

After leaving the Danxia Mountain Range, Chen Mobai returned to Vermilion Cloud City.

Besides visiting his parents and family, he also wanted to find out if anyone he knew had been won over by Lan Haitan.

Quite a few things were discovered.

The principal of Immortal Sect Fifth High School, as well as several teachers who graduated from the Two Great Academies, are still imprisoned.

Besides these, there was also his classmate Lu Hongsheng, who had returned from military service and was also attending university at a local institution.

Besides these Qi Cultivation Cultivator, there was also Shi Qujin, Foundation Establishment Cultivator had a good relationship with Chen Mobai...

After learning that Chen Mobai had returned, his high school homeroom teacher Chai Deyun, Lu Hongsheng's wife Yu Shu, his old classmate Shi Jingjing, and others all came to visit him with gifts.

"I'll go ask for you."

Chen Mobai was always very humane, but since it concerned the Ascension Cult, he also needed to understand the situation.

Chen Mobai waited for two days until Lan Haitan returned from the Danxia Mountain Range and invited him to dinner.

"These matters have been largely investigated and can be resolved; you can be released."

Lan Haitan was very pleased to hear this and released everyone except Shi Qujin the next day.

"Foundation Establishment Cultivator have a different status, so the process for releasing them would be much more complicated. It would require the approval of the Enforcement Department at Wangwu Cave Heaven. But don't worry, I've already spoken to Lan Haitan and asked him to expedite the process as quickly as possible."

Chen Mobai sat at home and spoke to Shi Jingjing, Cao Yaling, Shi Yuanqing, and Xu Yuan across from him.

Shi Qujin was a graduate of the Crimson Cloud Academy, and because he had been in Vermilion Cloud City for a long time and had hardly left, and was also Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he was a prime suspect and was arrested.

Even though Cao Yaling and Shi Yuanqing are both Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and they came here in person for this matter, there was nothing they could do.

"Thank you so much, old classmate, for helping me smooth things over."

As Shi Qujin's daughter, Shi Jingjing kept thanking Chen Mobai when she left. She had already married Xu Yuan. Neither of them had successfully Foundation Establishment. After returning from military service, they held a wedding and now have a son and a daughter.

If it weren't for Shi Qujin's arrest, she would have been living a happy and fulfilling life.

"Of course, Brother Shi and I have a good relationship. As long as it has nothing to do with the Ascension Cult, I will definitely help."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Mobai watched his four old classmates leave, a slight sigh escaping his lips.

The scenes of them playing and frolicking in the classroom seem to be right before my eyes, but in the blink of an eye, the lively and lovely Shi Jingjing has become a mature woman.

Even Cao Yaling and Shi Yuanqing, who were both Foundation Establishment Cultivator, were reserved and respectful in front of him, a scene that made Chen Mobai feel lonely.

As time goes by, everything can never go back to the way it was before.

Feeling a sense of unease, Chen Mobai knew that he would have less and less time to spend with his family in the future, so he specially took his parents back to Green Mountain Village to spend the Spring Festival with his maternal grandparents.

After the New Year, Chen Mobai returned to Yumu City.

He did not go to see Gu Changfeng, and continued to govern by Wuwei, just as before.

On the contrary, Yumu City and Green Mulberry Academy, after hearing about Chen Mobai's Glorious Battle Record of killing the Flower Blooming Courtyard Master with three swords, took the initiative to come to him to ask for his instructions for the new year.

In response, Chen Mobai said that everything was as usual, then left the Formless Puppet behind and returned to Giant Wood Ridge.

He first checked Luo Yixuan's Soul Lamp to confirm that his little apprentice was still alive, and then summoned Zhuo Ming.

"Master, while I was tending to that Black Spirit Plant recently, I heard a strange voice giving me instructions..."

After reporting on her own tasks, Zhuo Ming hesitated for a moment before mentioning the guidance Zhou Shengqing had given her.

"That is a Dao Sound left by a senior. Just listen to it. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask him and maybe you can get the answer."

Chen Mobai knew it was Zhou Shengqing, so he reassured Zhuo Ming and treated him as another teacher.

"Yes, Master!"

With Chen Mobai's permission, Zhuo Ming finally relaxed. In the Sky River Realm, even within the same sect, switching factions while one's master is still alive is a very serious matter.

Liu Wenbai was not at Giant Wood Ridge. He had gone to the Ming Country last year, arriving at the Primordial Immortal City of the Five Elements Sect before Chen Mobai.

After meeting his disciple, Chen Mobai summoned Yue Zutao, who reported on some matters concerning the sect.

The main resistance came from the Yan Kingdom, Xiao Kingdom, and Hong Kingdom, as these were newly Subdued Territory and there was considerable resistance. Fortunately, the Three Kingdoms Garrison had brought many disciples from their sects, and with the support of the Divine Wood Sect, they could send Foundation Establishment Cultivator over at any time. The resistance has now been largely suppressed.

"Over in the Yan Kingdom, the Xuanxiao Dao Palace has sent another Core Formation Cultivator, Fang Xuanyang, to the region. Centered around the Nan Xuan Sect of Bao Se Mountain, they are gradually using Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator to erode and recruit rogue cultivators. Sect Leader, what do you think is the best course of action?"

Finally, Yue Zutao mentioned something he couldn't handle.

Another Core Formation? Chen Mobai frowned slightly, wanting to take his sword and kill him in the Yan Kingdom, but then he remembered that Zhou Shengqing had not yet transformed into Dharma Body Nascent Soul, and Xuanxiao Dao Palace had real Nascent Soul cultivators, so he immediately calmed down.

Perhaps this Fang Xuanyang was sent by the Xuanxiao Dao Palace specifically to test whether Zhou Shengqing had Nascent Formation.

"I'll write a letter, and you can give it to E Yun."

After some thought, Chen Mobai decided to defeat the Nan Xuan Sect fair and square, prioritizing In Commerce.

After Yue Zutao left, Chen Mobai began to cultivate in seclusion at his Longevity Wood Dao Field.

With the continuous conversion of High-grade Spirit Stone, he greatly increased the speed at which he enhanced the Golden Flame using the Fire Starting Technique. In just one month, he condensed the nine Azure Flame Sword Sha into a fist-sized Golden Flame.

This ball of Golden Flame is just the minimum required to unleash the Flame Sun Slash.

On this day, Yue Zutao and others, who were working in Divine Wood City, suddenly felt two powerful and intense spiritual energy fluctuations coming from the direction of the Longevity Wood. Then a warm wind came, and the snow on the roof suddenly melted into water, a scene that surprised them slightly.

Among the group, only Xie Yuntian from the Sword Cultivation Department seemed to realize something.

He looked at the Longevity Wood Dao Field where Chen Mobai was, his face filled with awe!
