Chapter 1590: Chapter 799: Turning Hand into Clouds (10k)_2
But everything had been taken away.
With a thought from Chen Mobai’s Divine Sense, he swept across the entire Minor Realm and confirmed that there was nothing of value left.
It must have been cleaned out when the Immortal Gate arrived to wrap things up, taking everything inside and sealing it away.
However, this incident wasn’t recorded in the Sky-Mending Group archives, so it seemed necessary to investigate further back at Wangwu Cave Heaven.
Just as Chen Mobai was about to leave, he suddenly recalled how Yan Xinji was able to speak with him here in the past; clearly, there was an unexposed clue left behind by Yan that the Immortal Gate hadn’t discovered.
Immediately, Chen Mobai unleashed his Domain within this Minor Realm. At the same time, Echoes in the Void erupted in full force, and with a flicker of silver ripples, an eerie Void fluctuation was triggered upon a dead tree root.
“Found you!”
Chen Mobai sneered, his confidence bolstered by having achieved Nascent Soul Formation. He flew forward fearlessly, a dense concentration of Power of Void emanating from his right fingertips, forming an invisible blade that pierced directly into the tree root.
A sizzling sound was heard.
Another part of the Void was sliced open, and then a pact Puppet Workshop materialized before his eyes.
As the workshop emerged, a palm-sized cat-shaped puppet suddenly darted out. While running, it constantly transformed until it suddenly became a towering white tiger over two meters tall.
Roar!
Acpanied by an earth-shattering roar, invisible and overwhelming sound waves tore through the air like a tempest, charging at Chen Mobai.
However, a radiant multicolored mist emerged in front of Chen Mobai. Within a blink, it transformed into a brilliant cloud of five-colored light, blocking the opening that had been cut through.
The sound waves collided with Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo and ricocheted back, sending the massive white tiger hurtling away.
Chen Mobai strode through Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo and entered the deeply hidden Puppet Workshop.
The massive white tiger didn’t charge again but instead gazed at him with an uncannily human-like expression.
“Do you have anything to say?”
Chen Mobai knew this must be another puppet left behind by Yan Xinji in Yu Wood City. He couldn’t help but marvel at how figures from the Antiquity Daoist System had survived the relentless suppression of the Immortal Gate. Truly, they had their own astounding methods.
“You’ve achieved Nascent Soul Formation?”
A synthetic voice emerged from the white tiger’s mouth, identical to the voice Yan Xinji had sent through the screen last time.
But pared to then, there was now an indescribable shock and disbelief in his tone.
“I’ll give you one chance: answer the questions I want to know. Next time we meet, I might consider leaving you an intact corpse.”
Chen Mobai calmly delivered these chilling words, causing Yan Xinji to laugh.
“Kid, I admit your talent is astonishing, but even talent needs time to mature. You’d best not leave the Immortal Gate, or the Sect Hierarch will definitely e for your flesh in person.”
After Yan Xinji spoke, the white tiger crumbled into thousands of fragments, like a disassembled pile of building blocks.
A hint of mockery appeared on Chen Mobai’s face, and with a gesture, he intercepted an extremely hidden wave of transmitted information during the puppet’s self-destruction.
Under Echoes in the Void, the actions of Yan Xinji’s Rank-3 puppet couldn’t have escaped his notice.
This was a transmission intended to relay the news of Chen Mobai achieving Nascent Soul Formation.
But this matter couldn’t be hidden from the Ascension Sect anyway, as his breakthrough had already been livestreamed for the public due to the meddling of certain individuals.
Looking up at the Puppet Workshop, Chen Mobai noticed some materials and equipment still remaining. After skimming through them, his expression changed slightly before he swiftly stored everything into his Domain.
These materials detailed a forbidden technology: Human Puppetry!
Within the Immortal Gate, this was the most forbidden of forbidden techniques.
After clearing out the workshop, Chen Mobai headed to the Guda Courtyard.
However, the Void frequency there covered only a cubic meter of space. The puppets originally stored within had long since disappeared, but Chen Mobai managed to retrieve a booklet containing Yan Xinji’s insights on crafting puppets.
These notes were more orthodox—possibly left behind by Yan Xinji as a legacy for future generations. They enpassed nearly all of his understanding of puppetry techniques under the Immortal Gate system, including ambitious plans to upgrade the Formless Puppet to Rank-4.
After taking everything, Chen Mobai extended his Domain to cover both Yu Wood City and Red Sandstone City to ensure there were no other hidden Minor Realms before finally stopping.
Now it was time to return home in triumph.
…
In the living room, Shi Wanyu and her daughter were watching the livestream broadcast showing the top of Danxia Mountain, when suddenly Chen Xiaohei furrowed her brows.
Having cultivated her Domain, she could sense fluctuations in the Power of Void.
But soon, she broke into a bright smile.
Because under the flickering silver light, Chen Mobai appeared before her eyes.
“Dad, you’ve achieved Nascent Soul Formation!?”
She leapt off the sofa, rushing toward Chen Mobai.
“It was a lucky acplishment. Someday, you’ll achieve it too.”
Chen Mobai remained humble in the presence of his family.
“Dad, even if I manage to achieve Nascent Soul Formation, I’ll definitely need to rely on Infant Forming Spirit Medicine. I could never just rely on pure talent to push through like you did.”
Chen Xiaohei, always confident in herself, humbly acknowledged the immense difficulty of such a feat.
Throughout the history of the Immortal Gate, only one—Yuanyang Ancestor—had ever achieved Nascent Soul Formation without external assistance.
