After returning to the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai first made a phone call with Daoist Yu Yi.
He set up a ti with her, planning to view the Dao Law Heavenly Book.
Daoist Yu Yi: "Then I will eagerly await the grand arrival of Elder Pure Yang."
After the call ended, Chen Mobai announced he was "out of seclusion."
The first person he saw was naturally Wanyu, who was very happy to see Chen Mobai. The couple talked for a while, expressing their longing for each other.
Not long after, Hua Zijing, who had received the news first, arrived.
As soon as she arrived, Chen Mobai heard so good news.
Zhuang Jialan had successfully ford her core and was currently consolidating her realm. She would probably be able to start working by the beginning of next year.
"Tell Jialan not to rush, consolidation is very important..."
Chen Mobai was always very concerned about his people, and while speaking, he inadvertently thought of ng Huang.
With a re thought, he communicated with the Formless Puppet over at Danxia Mountain.
He found out that ng Huang was still refining her Liquid Spiritual Power and hadn’t taken any elixirs yet.
It was evidently a sign of lacking self-confidence.
Chen Mobai shook his head internally. At this ti, Wang Shuye and the others from the Weapon Dancing Sect also arrived.
In the Three Great Halls, there was now a situation of three forces balancing each other.
Patching Heaven, Dance Instrunts, and Kunpeng each held the power over one hall, Jumang was reliant on Dance Instrunts, and the three parties were very conscious of boundaries in their own fields of action.
It was precisely because of this that Chen Mobai could comfortably "go into seclusion."
Currently, the main focus of the Three Great Halls was on the Portal Managent Bureau. In another five years, they could use the portals to send the Immortal Gate’s cultivators to the other side.
Nangong Xuanyu was recognized by the Leading Star Ancestor as the leader.
But for the remaining individuals, nothing had been decided yet.
In this regard, it was the point of contention among the three forces.
Going to another world was undoubtedly very dangerous, but according to the rules of the Immortal Gate, they would offer very precious items as compensation.
For example, a Golden Core cultivator would be promised one of the Infant Binding Three Spirits dicines if they returned safely.
If a Foundation Establishnt cultivator went, the condition was a Golden Elixir Spiritual dicine.
Although these benefits could only be redeed after returning, only during warti would such conditions be available.
Even so, there were not many who wished to go.
After all, they were used to peace in the Immortal Gate. Being able to live a stable life was already very satisfying to them.
These conditions were basically prepared for those with further ambitions.
Because the resources of the Immortal Gate were limited, they needed to select from those signing up to participate.
This selection process was currently the negotiation and compromise among the three forces of the Three Great Halls.
Wang Shuye shared the preliminary results of these negotiations with Chen Mobai.
This ti, aside from Nangong Xuanyu, there were also ten Golden Core cultivators and thirty Foundation Establishnt Completion cultivators.
Among them, the Weapon Dancing Sect had three Golden Cores and eight Foundation Establishnts, which was about the average.
Patching Heaven and Kunpeng were the sa, Jumang had the least with only one Golden Core and six Foundation Establishnts, but Pei Qingshuang was quite satisfied with this, considering their limited strength.
In these quotas, they also needed to symbolically allocate one or two more to the lower institutes and academies.
After hearing Wang Shuye’s list, Chen Mobai had no objections and directly nodded in agreent.
It’s beneficial to have a lot of talented people under your command; you only need to make the final decision.
"I need to visit the Heavenly Book Academy in a few days. Comprehending the Heavenly Book may take so ti, so I’ll have to trouble you with matters at Wangwu Cave Heaven."
Hearing that Chen Mobai, who had just co out of seclusion, was going to comprehend the Heavenly Book again, Wang Shuye and the others were secretly impressed. They thought no wonder the Elder achieved so much at a young age; his talent was better and his efforts greater than theirs. For soone like him, success was inevitable.
Fortunately, he was their leader. If he was an opponent, seeing Chen Mobai’s relentless pursuit of progress would probably give them a headache.
After seeing off Wang Shuye and the others, Wanyu personally prepared a lavish dinner. When Chen Xiaohei, returning from work, saw the "out-of-seclusion" Chen Mobai, he was also very happy.
The next day.
Chen Mobai took a private jet to the Heavenly Book Academy.
The Heavenly Book Academy was located in Weiyu Cave Heaven, and in the minds of talisman makers in the Immortal Gate, it held a position comparable to the Dance Tool Dao Academy to artifact refiners.
The Tian Shu talisman brush set that Chen Mobai bought from the flagship store of the Heavenly Book Academy had been used for decades, and with proper maintenance, it still retained smooth strokes and rich lines.
It’s just a sha that he abandoned his personal interest in talisman making for the sake of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, focusing on elevating his cultivation realm. Otherwise, he would have likely co to the Heavenly Book Academy for advanced study long ago.
When Chen Mobai landed at the Weiyu Cave Heaven Airport, he discovered that the one who ca to greet him was an old acquaintance.
His forr high school classmate from the Fifth High School of the Immortal Gate, Song Zheng.
"Hahaha, Old Song, I didn’t expect it to be you. It’s been so long."
Chen Mobai laughed heartily as he approached Song Zheng, patting him on the shoulder. The latter, who initially seed a bit uneasy, relaxed.
"I’ve t Elder Chunyang. The principal asked to pick you up."
Song Zheng said, ntioning that after graduating from high school, he had enrolled in the Heavenly Book Academy, but unfortunately failed the Foundation Establishnt.
Later, he married Mo Simin, who exempted herself from military service by staying in Red Sandstone City, while Song Zheng, yearning for Foundation Establishnt, enlisted in the military.
He had a decent talent, and after ten years of honing in the military, he finally succeeded in Foundation Establishnt the second ti around.
After retiring, considering his child’s future, he brought Mo Simin and their daughter to the Weiyu Cave Heaven.
Song Zheng is now a teacher at the Heavenly Book Academy. Perhaps because of age, he often boasted in the office about Chen Mobai being his high school classmate and how close their relationship was. So when Chen Mobai ca over, the task of picking him up was assigned to him.
Upon first eting Chen Mobai, Song Zheng was a bit reserved, but after exchanging a few words, he realized that Chen Mobai hadn’t changed and still treated him as a friend, making Song feel at ease and confident.
The two naturally discussed those fulfilling yet tense high school days leading up to the college entrance exams.
Chen Mobai asked about Mo Simin, as he had a deep impression of this class monitor who used to tag along as a third wheel when he dined with Yan Bingxuan.
With tenderness on his face, Song Zheng spoke of his beloved, ntioning that Mo Simin now has a clothing store in Weiyu Cave Heaven, fulfilling her childhood dream.
Their daughter Song Sisi has also grown up, inheriting their genes. With good talent, she successfully got into the Heavenly Book Academy, achieved Foundation Establishnt during college, and after graduation, worked hard and beca a civil servant. Now, she works at the Talisman Masters Association while waiting for a vacancy in the Immortal Gate to be transferred over.
"Ti flies!"
Hearing this, Chen Mobai was also filled with emotion.
Back when they graduated from college, they had a gathering in Red Sandstone City. Mo Simin was heavily pregnant then, but now their daughter is already seventy-sixty years old.
As they talked, they had already arrived at the Heavenly Book Academy.
Located in a secluded valley surrounded by dense greenery, the academy’s majestic gates were inscribed with the words "Heavenly Book," exuding a solemn aura.
Daoist Yu Yi was actually waiting for Chen Mobai at the entrance, and the latter imdiately went over to greet him.
Witnessing two Nascent Soul Cultivators eting caused quite a few people to raise their phones and start filming.
Chen Mobai noticed many dia reporters as well.
Upon inquiry, he realized they were local to Weiyu Cave Heaven and that his visit as the Deputy Hall Master of the Hall of Orthodox Law was undoubtedly a major event that warranted extensive reporting.
Daoist Yu Yi was already accustod to this; every visit by a Nascent Soul Cultivator to view the Tian Shu was considered huge news here and in the Immortal Gate.
Chen Mobai nodded and followed Daoist Yu Yi toward the Pavilion of Heavenly Books.
This place was also the core of the Heavenly Book Academy. Besides the seven heavenly books at the top, there were many ancient manuscripts and authentic scripts from outstanding talisman makers of the Immortal Gate. Chen Mobai even found the initial manuscript of the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman and stopped to examine it attentively.
Daoist Yu Yi did not disturb him and only asked him questions after he had finished observing.
Upon learning about Chen Mobai’s connection to the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman, Daoist Yu Yi’s expression turned enlightened.
"Up above is where the Seven Great Heavenly Books are stored."
After exploring the manuscripts and ancient talismans below, they proceeded to the unadorned top floor, where the dia and the academy’s teachers dared not follow.
Chen Mobai followed Daoist Yu Yi to the highest loft and imdiately noticed seven ancient and exquisite heavenly books placed within transparent glass enclosures.
These were the Immortal Gate’s most treasured Seven Great Heavenly Books.
The heavenly books varied in colors, forming a complete rainbow when combined.
Under Daoist Yu Yi’s guidance, Chen Mobai soon stood before a green jade book.
Evidently, this was the Taoist Laws Sure-book!
Daoist Yu Yi’s fingers sketched a talisman in the void, and soon pure True Qi condensed into a brilliant character mark at her fingertips. Chen Mobai carefully sensed it and realized it was a fifth-order talisman.
Tales of the Immortal Gate’s Fifth Order Rune Master!
Daoist Yu Yi’s fingertip talisman landed on the glass enclosure of the Taoist Laws Sure-book, swiftly lifting an invisible restriction. She then opened the case, took out the book, and handed it to Chen Mobai, who imdiately received it with both hands.
"Study it carefully, and rember that the other six heavenly books also have powerful restrictions, so don’t touch them unnecessarily."
After saying this, Daoist Yu Yi left.
Chen Mobai escorted her to the doorstep, and once he confird her presence had left the Pavilion of Heavenly Books, he didn’t imdiately delve into the Taoist Laws Sure-book. Instead, he approached the other six heavenly books.
The Seven Great Heavenly Books of the Immortal Gate!
Each one caught his eye.
Universe, Purple Green, Phoenix Seal, Dao Law, Taiyuan, Life and Death, Mahayana!
