Chapter 1616: Chapter 805: The Number of Cultivators_2
“Achievents must be rewarded. Generally speaking, Nascent Soul Cultivators who co to will ask for my help to deduce the key monts for breaking through their realm.”
“But earlier, you declined when I asked you, so let directly ask now: What reward do you want?”
Hearing this, Chen Mobai marveled at Elder Yuanxu’s research capabilities. His heart was filled with curiosity—what kind of object could replace Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood?
However, the most pressing matter now was to consider carefully what he should request from the Leading Star Ancestor.
Should he ask for the Biyu Wutong Tree?
Finally, he thought of sothing that had weighed heavily upon his mind for a long ti.
“Ancestral Master, with respect, when I was young, I encountered Yu Tianguang…”
Chen Mobai conveyed the matter regarding Yu Tianguang to the Leading Star Ancestor, expressing his desire to know if the Immortal Gate possessed a Secret Technique that could help free the God Seed from the influence of the Devour God Technique.
“The Twofold Divine Technique can accomplish this. You’re now a Nascent Soul Cultivator. You can download it from the Immortal Gate National Library.”
The Leading Star Ancestor ntioned sothing Chen Mobai already knew. However, his words carried another purpose.
“Ancestral Master, with respect, Principal Cheng Xuan has already arranged for Yu Tianguang to cultivate the Twofold Divine Technique. But because of his prior exhaustion of Essence, Qi, and Spirit due to Shenyu Xuanzhu’s descent, his cultivation progress has been slow. I deeply fear that he won’t be able to remove Shenyu Xuanzhu’s God Seed by his own accord before passing away in ditation.”
“I’d like to apply for permission to cultivate the Devour God Technique, hoping to conduct deeper research into this Forbidden Technique and uncover an alternative thod aside from the Twofold Divine Technique to resolve the God Seed issue.”
Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s request, the Leading Star Ancestor’s gaze reflected approval.
He thought the young cultivator before him was loyal and grateful—a rare trait among juniors.
“I approve this matter. However, rember this: every God Seed within the Devour God Technique is a thread. You may cultivate it, but make certain you don’t fall into the Evil Path.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai imdiately expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the Leading Star Ancestor.
“I’ve studied the Devour God Technique for so ti. These are my personal insights—take a look.”
At this mont, the Leading Star Ancestor took out his phone, added Chen Mobai as a friend, and sent him an electronic docunt containing his notes and reflections on the Devour God Technique.
After concluding the matter, Chen Mobai prepared to bid farewell.
“By the way, a few days ago, Ying Guanghua ca to and discussed the matter of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill.”
It was at this mont that the Leading Star Ancestor suddenly ntioned this.
“Ancestral Master, please forgive . I was too upset earlier. For the next batch of Golden Elixir Spiritual dicine, I promise not to repeat my behavior.”
Chen Mobai apologized first, although his words didn’t convey true remorse.
His apology stemd rely from failing to account for the Leading Star Ancestor’s dignity.
“I am, after all, the ancestral master of the Heaven-Repairing Lineage. So matters must consider the people below. With the conflict ahead, I propose increasing the production of Golden Liquid Jade Pills to one batch every ten years. What do you think?”
With these words from the Leading Star Ancestor, Chen Mobai naturally had no objections.
“Ancestral Master, your foresight is remarkable. I wholeheartedly agree.”
Compared to Ying Guanghua, the Leading Star Ancestor’s skill in handling matters, his adeptness at interpersonal relationships, gave Chen Mobai a sense of ease—as if basking in the spring breeze. They were worlds apart.
Had Ying Guanghua consulted with him patiently, would things have escalated to such an extent?
“Afterward, Ying Guanghua will issue this proposal in his capacity as Head of Immortal Affairs. I’ll need your help to liaise with the other two lineages regarding splitting the ten Golden Liquid Jade Pills among the four lineages.”
Listening to this, Chen Mobai felt even more that the Leading Star Ancestor’s approach to people and matters was an exemplary model to emulate.
“Escort him out,” the Leading Star Ancestor instructed Chen Chun after wrapping up all assignnts. Then, he disappeared from sight, returning to his ga hall.
Chen Mobai bowed respectfully in farewell before following Chen Chun down Gathering-Immortals Peak.
“Thank you,” Chen Mobai said as they reached the foot of the mountain.
“Not at all. Have safe travels, Elder,” Chen Chun replied, shaking her head and declining to accept Chen Mobai’s gratitude.
Seeing her standing with lowered arms in a respectful and courteous pose, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but recall their first eting.
Back then, he had asked her to divine his fortune, but she had been rather indifferent.
Their second eting involved so grievances.
However, without her arrangents, Chen Mobai wouldn’t have descendants in this lifeti.
He had resolved that before his cultivation hit an insurmountable bottleneck, he wouldn’t consider leaving behind offspring.
At this mont, Chen Mobai also recalled that scene in the small alley when he and Shi Wanyu were calculating their destiny together.
Shi Wanyu’s divination had concluded: [The stars burst beyond the brushing dawn, embers fall upon the steps.]
Thinking about it now, it likely referred to Shi Wanyu’s insufficient talent and lack of perseverance, indicating she wouldn’t accompany him to the very end—and would pass away before him.
This realization brought a tinge of sorrow to him.
It ant that his marital bond with Shi Wanyu would last only a few decades. However, the fruit of their union—a daughter with an extraordinary Pure Yin Body—would hold exceptional talent in the Immortal Gate and could remain by Chen Mobai’s side for many years.
Perhaps, in the future, father and daughter might both achieve Divinity Transformation.
With this thought, Chen Mobai no longer harbored any opinions about Chen Chun.
After nodding at her once more, Chen Mobai directly turned and left Gathering-Immortals Peak.
Chen Chun watched his departing figure, feeling a pang of inadequacy in her own cultivation.
