“Master, I will manage the Little Nan Mountain Shop with peace of mind from now on, hoping to stay by your side forever.”
Liu Wenbo had grown up in the Eastern Wilderness since he was a child. Although he was simple by nature, he had grown accustod to seeing disciples who failed to break through their realm being dismissed by their masters, with the bond between them gradually fading until they never t again.
His decade on Little Nan Mountain had been the most carefree ti of his life. Now, after failing at Foundation Establishnt, he deeply feared that his relationship with Chen Mobai would fade away, which made him sowhat anxious.
“You’re not even forty years old yet, and this attempt at Foundation Establishnt didn’t diminish your lifespan. You still have at least two more chances, so why be so disheartened? Just rest for a while, and wait until the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms is ready.”
Chen Mobai actually still had a Foundation Building Pill. He had bought two from the South Profound Sect’s Treasure-Colored Market in the past, originally intended for Chen Xinglan, but after his father failed the Foundation Establishnt again, he had simply given up.
The remaining pill had been planned for his cousin to use if she failed at Foundation Establishnt.
But upon reflection, he thought it better to avoid leaving any traces with the Immortal Gate, so he kept it with him all this ti.
Chen Mobai had also considered that if any of his three disciples failed at Foundation Establishnt, he could give it to them, but observing Liu Wenbo’s state of mind, he felt that even if he were given ten Foundation Building Pills, the result would likely be the sa. Therefore, he decided to first temper his eldest disciple.
“Yes, Master!”
Having heard this, Liu Wenbo’s expression slightly eased.
Chen Mobai asked him to stretch out his hand and took his pulse to ensure that there were no lingering issues after the failed Foundation Establishnt before nodding and confidently returning to the wooden house in the tree.
About three days later, Liu Wenbo’s strength had recovered, and he sent a ssage to Chen Mobai, suggesting that he was considering leaving.
“Although you didn’t harm your lifespan with the failed Foundation Establishnt, it still affected your essence. After returning, rest well for two years. If you really get bored, go help Zhuo Ming with farming, and make sure to not engage in magic duels or overexert yourself in these next few years.”
Chen Mobai ca down to send off his eldest disciple, giving him a few personal words of advice. Liu Wenbo nodded, his face showing a hint of sha as he left the Longevity Wood Dojo.
Chen Mobai was also disheartened for a couple of days over this matter.
However, he was not the sa person who once beca ntally obstructed when ng Huang failed at Core Formation or Chansi departed. Now more mature, he was able to accept reality amidst his sadness.
A person’s life is mostly filled with disappointnts.
Only by extending one’s life can one find those precious successes amidst many failures.
Therefore, Chen Mobai’s motivation to cultivate the Longevity Dao Body was stronger than ever.
In the anti, he made a trip back to the Repairing Heaven Institute because he had largely finished his academic career there, having graduated with full marks from his main courses in governance and warfare.
He still hadn’t grasped the Guidance Book, but he wasn’t concerned about it.
The Repairing Heaven Institute, following Elder Yuanxu’s wishes, would naturally prefer Chen Mobai to stay, especially since they needed his help to repair the Formless Puppets.
For this reason, Fu Borong personally sought out Chen Mobai for a discussion, ntioning the possibility of arranging for him to join the official ranks of the Three Great Halls of Xiann. Such a position, with enough tenure, would ensure receipt of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill — as long as he was willing to stay in the Repairing Heaven Institute.
But Chen Mobai couldn’t wait that long, and with too many secrets to guard, he feared revealing anything to Elder Yuanxu, whose intellect was approaching the Transformation God Level.
Thus, he tactfully declined, stating that his five years of study at the Repairing Heaven Institute had broadened his horizons and that he had vaguely captured the inspiration to form his Golden Core.
Precisely because of this, he did not have the ntal capacity to ponder the Divinity Transformation Technique of the Guidance Book and now wished to focus exclusively on cultivation. In the most tender part of his heart, on that pure land within, he aid to touch the Golden Core Dao.
Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s words, not only Fu Borong but also Elder Yuanxu were stunned.
Fearing they might actually hinder a potential master of Divinity Transformation from the Immortal Gate, they imdiately granted his graduation certificate.
“If you had decided to stay, the elder was planning to personally open a portal for you once…”
On the day he received his graduation certificate, Fu Borong spoke with a look of regret.
Chen Mobai was sowhat surprised to hear this.
Opening a Golden Core Domain within the Immortal Gate requires the assistance of the supre treasure known as a portal, and using such a treasure would typically require a Nascent Soul Superior at the very least.
After reaching the ninth layer of Foundation Establishnt, Chen Mobai had applied for the opening of a Golden Core Domain through the official network of Xiann.
However, as the two new Golden Core Masters in recent years had successfully opened their domains during their Foundation Establishnt, no Nascent Soul Superior was inclined to expend elental energy on such a trivial matter, hence he remained in the queue.
“`
Chen Mobai had never expected that Elder Yuanxu would actually be willing to take action for his sake.
Nevertheless, even so, Chen Mobai’s determination to leave the Patching Heaven Daoist Academy remained unwavering.
With resources from two worlds at his disposal, as long as he could successfully reach Core Formation, his future would be bright anywhere he went.
The Golden Core Domain was indeed excellent, but compared to Core Formation, it could be set aside.
And even if he hadn’t successfully established a domain during his Foundation Establishnt, there would still be chances after Core Formation.
Therefore, as soon as his period of study ca to an end, Chen Mobai decisively chose to graduate.
The only thing he regretted was having to part with Yan Bingxuan. Although she had entered the threshold of studying the Yuanqi system, synthesizing the Ice Soul Divine Light would still require her to learn more and attempt a multitude of experints.
The Patching Heaven Institute had the best experintal conditions for this, so staying was her best choice.
“I can apply for graduation next year too,” Yan Bingxuan said as she and Chen Mobai walked down the streets of Xixuan Dongtian the night he left the Patching Heaven Daoist Academy.
“What do you plan to do after you graduate?” he asked.
“The Red Dawn Institution has the backing of the Nature Studies Academy; I’ll beco a teacher there. After serving for enough years, I’ll exchange for a Water Primordial Golden Core Pill. I hope that I’ll be successful in reaching Core Formation,” Yan Bingxuan said, looking straight into Chen Mobai’s eyes. She had more to say but held it back.
She wanted to catch up to his pace and accompany him on his journey.
Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback when he heard this and instinctively tried to persuade her.
“After I return, I might enter closed-door cultivation for a decade or two, so there’s no need for you to follow back. Take this rare opportunity to enrich and improve yourself within the Patching Heaven Institute,” he said.
Yan Bingxuan frowned slightly upon hearing this and wanted to express her feelings, but she also felt Chen Mobai made a lot of sense.
If he really were to go into deep closed-door cultivation for many years upon his return, being by herself in Red Sandstone City wouldn’t make much sense.
“Then, when you co out of seclusion, rember to call ,” she said.
Ultimately, Yan Bingxuan followed Chen Mobai’s advice and stayed at the Patching Heaven Institute to synthesize the Ice Soul Divine Light before making any further decisions.
“Yes, I’ll call you first after I form my core!” Chen Mobai confidently stated. Anyone else saying this might have been dismissed by Yan Bingxuan as boasting, but when it ca from Mobai, she felt nothing but pride.
“After you form your core, I hope you can wait for , not advancing too quickly,” Yan Bingxuan suddenly said before they parted.
Chen Mobai didn’t grasp her aning and shook his head to indicate that as a follower of the Sect of Realms, he would never stop pursuing higher realms with the greatest speed.
Yan Bingxuan, wearing an expression of speechlessness, sent Chen Mobai off to the airport.
Upon returning to Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai nominally rented a Rank-3 Spiritual Energy Cultivation Room from Cinnabarite Institute, left a puppet there to show he was cultivating.
In truth, his true body had returned to the Tianhe Realm and, taking advantage of the Fourth Grade Superior spirit vein of the Everlife Wood, he continued his cultivation of the Longevity Dao Body.
Another year quickly passed by.
On this day, Chen Mobai finished refining the last drop of the Longevity Tree Sap and stepped outside to have a chat with ng Hong, wanting to know if there were any new Foundation Establishnt cultivators in the sect who had opened the Divine Tree Secret Realm.
It wouldn’t be polite to go empty-handed, so Chen Mobai planned to make a trip to Little Nan Mountain first to get a couple of jars of wine brewed by Zhuo Ming.
Just as he flew over Little Nan Mountain, his expression suddenly turned to one of surprise and confusion.
He activated his Void Spirit Eye and peered towards the thousand-acre Spirit Field below, only to see the imnse earth seemingly co to life at this very mont, as an endless stream of earth vein spiritual energy surged towards a certain spot at the base of Little Nan Mountain.
What was going on?
