Chapter 1499: Chapter 776_2
If possible, Chen Mobai naturally wanted to let Chen Chun have a look, after all, during her Core Formation, the tribulations she calculated all turned out to be spot on.
But in order for Chen Chun to make an accurate divination, Chen Mobai would inevitably have to reveal his true cultivation level and other information. His realm as a Rank-3 Peak, with a Gold Core at the Eighth Layer and a Perfect Divine Consciousness Core Formation, Body Refining Technique, simply couldn’t be explained by talent alone.
Instead of trying to deceive her, it was better to simply refuse outright.
As he watched Chen Mobai’s figure growing distant, Chen Chun turned to look at Wangxian Peak where Ancestor Baiguang resided and let out a slight sigh.
Initially, she thought the fated person was her, but thinking about it now, maybe she was mistaken.
The real fated person should be him!
Yet that incident had added a layer of estrangement between Chen Chun and Chen Mobai, making it seem unlikely for them to trust each other again.
At this thought, Chen Chun’s mind wandered to the thought of Chen Xiaohei, who was still in the Portal on the mountain, carving out his Domain. Doubts resurfaced in her heart.
If the fated person is him, then why did Ancestor Baiguang e in the first place?
Could it be that the old ancestor’s Sword Dao has reached the connection with the Heavenly Heart?
Chen Mobai, of course, was unaware of Chen Chun’s wild thoughts; he had already bade farewell to Zhongli Tianyu and left the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.
The celestial phenomenon of Nangong Xuanyu’s Nascent Soul Formation at Meeting Immortals Peak not only had not dissipated, but had bee even more turbulent, expanding in all directions. By the look of it, there was a high probability he would successfully form his Nascent Soul.
Chen Mobai also needed to go back and discuss this.
For each additional Nascent Soul Superior in the Immortal Gate, the upper echelons’ dynamics shift anew.
And what was unfavorable was that Nangong Xuanyu had always been hostile to their Weapon Dancing Sect; if he succeeded in Nascent Soul Formation, their power among The Three Great Halls might have to shrink even further.
But Chen Mobai had long been prepared; for every force that es, there is a counter, and if push es to shove, he would cede part of the Weapon Dancing Sect’s power and benefits within The Three Great Halls.
After all, as long as he also achieved Nascent Soul Formation, all these could eventually be reclaimed.
There was no need to be concerned about temporary losses or gains.
After leaving the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, Chen Mobai did not first return to the Sky-Mending Group, but instead went to Kaiyuan Hall to have Wang Xin Fu get in touch with Song Yingzhi of the Jumang Lineage, and those two sects held a small internal meeting.
During the meeting, Wen Ren Xuewei also hurried over using the Great Void Transference Technique.
“The worst-case scenario, if Nangong Xuanyu forms his Nascent Soul, is that he will also aim for the position of one of the Three Hall Masters. Head of Immortal Affairs Ying Guanghua belongs to his lineage and will definitely not conflict with him, leaving only the Hall of Orthodox Law and Kaiyuan Hall.”
“Among them, Qi Yuheng, the Kaiyuan Hall Master, has a stable position and is not within his power to challenge, so the only and best target is the Hall of Orthodox Law.”
“Narcissus Superior, being a Sea Territory cultivator, joined the Immortal Gate merely for the prestige, and it is possible that she reaches an agreement with Nangong Xuanyu, representing the Heaven-Repairing Lineage, to cede her position to him at the next grand assembly. After all, she also acquired the position of Hall Master from Ying Guanghua of the same lineage.”
Wang Xin Fu recounted the worst-case scenario, and after hearing this, Chen Mobai and others couldn’t help but nod their heads with solemn expressions.
If Nangong Xuanyu intended to reach for the Hall of Orthodox Law, Chen Mobai, as the leader of the Sky-Mending Group, would definitely be the first target to be taken care of.
“It’s not a big deal. Without the position of the Sky-Mending Group, I am still a member of Kaiyuan Hall, and it’s also likely that Nangong Xuanyu wouldn’t want to serve under Narcissus Superior for sixty years.”
If he wanted to take over the position of Hall Master of Orthodox Law, Nangong Xuanyu would have to prematurely assume the role of Vice Hall Master, as Narcissus Superior did.
In that position, in fact, there are quite a few things to tend to.
Many Nascent Soul Cultivators prefer to have more leisure time, so they usually serve as heads of Daoist Academies at the various Spirit Veins.
After all, after reaching Nascent Soul, making progress toward Divinity Transformation depends more on one’s own understanding and talent.
The experiences of the Three Hall Masters merely help Nascent Soul Cultivators align more closely with the rules.
If Nangong Xuanyu has higher ambitions and wishes to pursue Divinity Transformation with the Pure Yang Scroll, he may not be willing to engage in the mundane affairs of The Three Great Halls.
“That would be the best-case scenario.”
Wen Ren Xuewei nodded lightly after hearing this.
After discussing countermeasures for the best and worst scenarios, the internal meeting came to an end.
“With the Heaven-Repairing Lineage constantly expanding, the Kunpeng Lineage will definitely have corresponding countermeasures. There’s no need for us to rush. After all, everything will wait until both you, missioner Chen, and Xuewei reach Nascent Soul Formation!”
At the end of the meeting, Song Yingzhi of the Jumang Lineage appeared relaxed, not at all worried about the news that Nangong Xuanyu might form his Nascent Soul.
In her view, Nangong Xuanyu merely had an age advantage, having taken the first step.
Given another hundred years, both Chen Mobai and Wen Ren Xuewei would surely set foot in that realm as well.
With such confidence in their younger generation, Chen Mobai could only respond with a smile.
After the meeting, Chen Mobai invited Wen Ren Xuewei to have dinner together.
Knowing that Pei Qingshuang had succeeded in establishing her Golden Core Domain, Wen Ren Xuewei was very happy.
“In the future, she should be residing more permanently here in Wangwu Cave Heaven. With her help, the two of you can work together to condense the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, preparing for Nascent Soul Formation.”
With these words from Wen Ren Xuewei, Chen Mobai felt moved in his heart and mind.
