Chapter 1619: Chapter 806: Choosing a Daoist Na
ng Huang was escorted to the Crimson City Cave Heaven, and naturally, Chen Mobai had to visit the Daoist Academy along the way.
After all, his accomplishnts today were due not only to Turtle Treasure but also to the imnse support he had received from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.
Coming here, there was no reason not to pay a visit.
“Teacher, it’s been so long. Why are you waiting for at the gate?”
This ti, however, Chen Mobai discovered that Che Yucheng, along with a group of people, was waiting for him at the foot of the steps of Crimson Mountain. Feeling sowhat ashad, he imdiately used Void Walking to teleport over.
“Although you are my student, you’re also a Nascent Soul Superior and the future leader of the Weapon Dancing Sect. It’s only proper to accord you the respect you deserve.”
Che Yucheng said with a smile. Hearing this, Chen Mobai respectfully bowed.
He then nodded in greeting to Hong ngkui, Zuo Gong, Deng Daoyun, and other directors of various departnts nearby.
Everyone looked at Chen Mobai with expressions of satisfaction, gathering around and marveling at the first peerless talent of the Immortal Gate in recorded history.
“Greetings, esteed directors and teachers.”
At this mont, ng Huang also arrived. Unlike Chen Mobai, she couldn’t teleport instantly, so she was a bit slower.
“As an excellent graduate of our Daoist Academy, Senior Sister ng is quite fortunate to have obtained the Golden Liquid Jade Pill this ti. I hope she successfully achieves Dan Formation in the Academy and becos the next council mber for us at Kaiyuan Hall.”
Chen Mobai spoke warmly, expressing his support for ng Huang.
The crowd understood his words as part of his preparations for the next major Realm after his Nascent Soul Formation and saw his efforts to nurture ng Huang, a Tao Seed of the Mystic Sound thod, with foresight.
“The location for her Dan Formation has been arranged per your wishes. Let her go and take a look first.”
Che Yucheng said, instructing the music departnt director, Cong Wanru, one of ng Huang’s forr ntors, to take her to the Treasure Trove’s center.
anwhile, Chen Mobai stayed behind to hold a eting with the directors of various departnts of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.
“Before entering seclusion, the headmaster said that if you achieved Nascent Soul Formation while he remained in the Minor Realm, you would be the next headmaster.”
During the eting, Che Yucheng conveyed Master Chengxuan’s words.
No one had any objections to this; after all, tis progress forward, and new generations of leadership inevitably erge.
And having Chen Mobai—the greatest talent of the Immortal Gate’s history—beco headmaster was considered a new step forward for them.
“This matter isn’t urgent. For now, I still need to support our Sect in the Hall of Orthodox Law.”
Though his conversation with the Leading Star Ancestor had inspired thoughts of becoming a retired headmaster, Chen Mobai understood that one must act with responsibility. The Weapon Lineage depended on him to hold its ground among the Three Great Halls, confront Bu Tian Kunpeng, and even shield them from the pressures of the Jumang Lineage.
Were he to leave now, he wouldn’t be able to reconcile it with his conscience.
“Alas, we can only bla ourselves for not having anyone in the past two generations achieve Nascent Soul Formation. Otherwise, the burden wouldn’t fall on soone as young as you.”
With these words, Che Yucheng caused everyone in the eting room to lower their heads in guilt.
“Not at all, esteed teachers. If you were to obtain Infant Forming Spirit dicine, you could very well achieve Nascent Soul Formation just like . Please do not undervalue yourselves…”
Chen Mobai spoke humbly, fully adhering to the principle of respecting one’s elders in the Immortal Gate.
After the eting, Chen Mobai had a private gathering with Che Yucheng.
“To have cultivated a disciple like you, I could pass on with no regrets even now.”
Still in that sa office on the first floor, Che Yucheng took the tea Chen Mobai had brewed and handed to him, sipping it with satisfaction.
“Please don’t say that. Being your disciple is the honor of my life.”
Chen Mobai shook his head resolutely, his humility apparent.
He would always rember that, in this lifeti, he had only one teacher—the white-haired elder before him.
If not for Che Yucheng’s guidance, he wouldn’t have achieved Nascent Soul Formation as smoothly as he did, nor would he have succeeded in Hearing the Path Foundation Establishnt, let alone obtained the Purple Electric Sword.
“The Daoist Academy is now entrusted to you.”
These words from Che Yucheng made Chen Mobai solemnly nod.
“I will make the Academy even greater.”
After finishing their tea, the master and disciple prepared to part ways.
Before leaving, Chen Mobai visited several of his university professors, who were overjoyed at his achievents and his rembrance of them.
“What a pity. With your talent, had you focused entirely on talisman making, you might have reached the Fifth Order Rune Master level like Daoist Yu Yi. But you bear heavy responsibilities, requiring your full dedication to breaking through the Realm…”
These were the remarks of Xu Xiu, the teacher who had once taught Chen Mobai’s talisman class. He expressed regret over Chen Mobai’s decision to abandon talisman making after graduating from the Academy.
Seeing Xu Xiu brought back mories for Chen Mobai of that teacher deliberately creating challenging exam questions to test his abilities and ultimately failing him to urge him to focus on talisman making.
Decades had passed since then.
Xu Xiu, now as aged as Che Yucheng, hadn’t achieved Dan Formation, and his lifeti’s limit was being a Third-Rank Talisman Master. He dearly hoped for a student to surpass him.
“My apologies, Teacher Xu. With my Nascent Soul Formation, I’ll have plenty of ti. When the opportunity arises, I’ll aim to pass both the Third and Fourth-Rank Talisman Maker certifications together.”
