Chapter 1119: Six Royal Scriptures

Yu Huiping's funeral was attended by virtually all the prominent figures of the Immortal Sect. Among the Transformation God cultivators, only Qi Yuheng was absent, as he had to guard the Five Peaks Immortal Mountain.

As a family member, Chen Mobai uncharacteristically took personal charge, accompanying Chen Xiaohei to ensure all of Yu Huiping's funeral arrangements were handled properly.

Since Yu Huiping was from the Yu family in Yumu City, her final resting place was chosen there.

That day, it suddenly began to rain, and Chen Xiaohei cried uncontrollably.

"True Monarch Yu departed peacefully; she lived a life without regrets. We should be happy for her."

Chen Mobai cast a Water Repelling spell to comfort his daughter, who huddled in his arms, continuously sobbing.

Due to this event, Chen Mobai stayed in the Immortal Sect for a period, accompanying his daughter to help her overcome the grief of losing a loved one.

Half a year quickly passed.

Chen Xiaohei's personality seemed to mature suddenly; she became more self-reliant, stopped slacking off at work, and even proactively sought out Zhixuan Sword for extra practice sessions after returning home.

This greatly pleased Chen Mobai. He had been worried that once Chen Xiaohei knew Baiguang was her mother, she would become uncontrollable.

Instead, things were moving in a better direction.

His child had grown up!

At that moment, Chen Mobai, who had been worrying if his daughter would stray without an elder by her side, couldn't help but feel relieved.

After another half-year of companionship, it was Chen Xiaohei who urged Chen Mobai not to stay at home indefinitely, only then did he return to the Weapon Arts Daoist Academy with peace of mind.

Of course, before leaving, Chen Mobai went to see Qi Yuheng.

After comprehending the Mahayana Heavenly Tome, he had understood the principles of the Dharma Realm. During the past year spent with his daughter, he hadn't been idle; he spent most of his time discussing the Six Imperial Sutras with Qi Yuheng.

This was because, among the Immortal Sect's Transformation God techniques, the Six Imperial Sutras contained the most extensive and richest knowledge related to the Dharma Realm.

The content recorded in the Mahayana Heavenly Tome was like a perfect final-stage diagram, but it didn't specify the steps to draw it. Therefore, Chen Mobai needed the Six Imperial Sutras to navigate the path to Mahayana.

With Chen Mobai's current cultivation level and his mastery of the Five Tones of Law, he effortlessly comprehended the Six Imperial Sutras, which were reputed to be the most abstruse and profound in the Immortal Sect.

However, comprehension was one thing; achieving mastery was another.

The foundation of the Dharma Realm lay in the Grand Dao recorded in the Six Great Heavenly Tomes.

The Six Imperial Sutras, however, took a different approach: they evolved all phenomena and energies from the six great primordial energies, grasping the laws and transformations of all things in the universe within one's control, allowing the primordial spirit to infinitely evolve and ascend into the Dharma Realm.

For Chen Mobai, this was a detour, as he had already mastered the Grand Dao from four of the Heavenly Tomes: Universe, Purple Green, Phoenix Seal, and Dao Law. If he could comprehend and master the other two, Taiyuan and Samsara, he could directly achieve the "Dharma Realm" of the Six Imperial Sutras' Great Perfection in one leap.

However, throughout the entire history of the Immortal Sect, there had only been one person like him.

Others, even those as astonishingly talented as Patriarch Zhongli, had to cultivate arduously step by step, mastering the six great primordial energies recorded in the six sections of the Six Imperial Sutras, and then slowly accommodating and evolving them with their primordial spirit. Yet, even so, none had ascended to a true Dharma Realm.

For Chen Mobai, the simplest way to achieve the Dharma Realm was to painstakingly cultivate himself. Qi Yuheng believed that with Chen Mobai's talent, he would eventually fully integrate the Dao Rhythms recorded in the Taiyuan and Samsara Heavenly Tomes.

If there were no other methods, Chen Mobai would have no choice but to do so.

However, with Qi Yuheng as a successful example of taking a shortcut, Chen Mobai was less inclined to cultivate arduously step by step himself.

The Heaven and Earth Fetal Membrane contained the essence of a realm; once refined, it would be equivalent to having the complete foundation for the Dharma Realm. Although he had promised it to Narcissus earlier, Chen Mobai could use it to gain the insights he needed before handing it over.

Therefore, over the past year, Chen Mobai continuously inquired Qi Yuheng about his experiences in refining the Heaven and Earth Fetal Membrane, and the latter informed him in meticulous detail.

It was precisely these exchanges that made Qi Yuheng realize how terrifying Chen Mobai's comprehension talent was.

Qi Yuheng had spent a lifetime comprehending and cultivating the Six Imperial Sutras to reach his current level, while Chen Mobai only needed a year. Although Chen Mobai's current Transformation God realm provided a high-level perspective, it's important to note that Yunhai, also a Transformation God cultivator, had nowhere near this level of understanding of the Six Imperial Sutras.

"According to the Immortal Sect's historical records, the Purple Cloud Palace is expected to descend in approximately fourteen years. At that time, Lin Daoming will certainly not miss this once-in-a-millennium opportunity. We can also take this chance to eliminate him as a potential threat before the expansion war begins."

Qi Yuheng mentioned something that made Chen Mobai's eyes light up.

The Purple Cloud Palace!

He wondered if his old seat from when he attended lectures was still there.

"The Purple Cloud Palace moves from the depths of the universe in accordance with the sun, moon, stars, and the changes in celestial and terrestrial meridians. Theoretically, we should now be able to observe the astronomical phenomena caused by its movement towards us."

Chen Mobai had collected all information about the Purple Cloud Palace within the Immortal Sect, and hearing Qi Yuheng mention it, he spoke with a serious expression.

"I'll notify the relevant people to come over."

Qi Yuheng nodded slightly, took out his phone, and sent a few messages.

Soon after, all three hall masters from the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven arrived at Zhixian Peak.

Besides them, there was also Daoist Master Meihua from the Stargazing Academy, who, after the 'Star Drawing' event, was the most knowledgeable in the entire Immortal Sect regarding changes in celestial phenomena.

"Yes, True Monarch, I will constantly monitor the celestial phenomena from now on."

Upon hearing about the matter, Daoist Master Meihua's expression became solemn, and a hint of excitement gleamed in his eyes.

The Purple Cloud Palace descends once every 1,200 years. For a Nascent Soul cultivator, whether they get to experience this opportunity depends on luck.

"The three of you, cooperate with Meihua. Report any findings immediately," Qi Yuheng instructed the three hall masters, and all of them nodded.

Among them, the Master of the Zhengfa Hall had changed from Wenren Xuewei to Zhongli Tianyu.

At the Kaiyuan Hall convention late last year, although the Jumang lineage had a rare surge of activity, attempting to help Pei Qingshuang compete, they were still defeated by the tacit alliance of the Kunpeng and Butian lineages.

The Weapon Arts lineage, following Chen Mobai's wishes, remained neutral in this competition.

However, Pei Qingshuang was not without gains; at the very least, she secured the position of Deputy Master of the Zhengfa Hall.

This suggested that there might still be disputes within the Zhengfa Hall in the future. However, with so many Transformation God True Monarchs overseeing things, the struggle between two Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't cause too much chaos.

"Zhongli, please pay special attention to the Ascension Sect. This upcoming expansion war will be unpredictable, so there's no need to keep these minor ailments around."

Chen Mobai added. Ever since he had cultivated his second primordial spirit and turned the Ascension Sect's home planet into cosmic dust, these ancient evil orthodoxies, apart from old figures like Patriarch Longhu and Pavilion Master Shenyu, were mostly insignificant remnants and no longer served as a 'catfish' to stimulate the Immortal Sect.

It was better to completely eliminate them before the war began.

Zhongli Tianyu nodded heavily upon hearing this. He had just assumed the position of Master of the Zhengfa Hall and needed a significant achievement to prove himself. Even if he couldn't compare to Chen Mobai, he at least had to surpass his predecessor, Wenren Xuewei.

"If you find old figures like Patriarch Longhu, you can notify me, and I will personally take action."

After leaving this instruction, Chen Mobai rose, bid farewell to Qi Yuheng, then waved to the others, transforming into a silver light and vanishing from the spot.

Upon returning to the Weapon Arts Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai found that everything was orderly, whether he was there or not.

After guiding Deng Daoyun, Cheng Xuan had returned to the armory, leading the Immortal Sect's official artifact refiners to upgrade the war artifacts.

When Chen Mobai returned, Deng Daoyun had just finished promoting his personal artifact.

"Director Deng, when I took over as headmaster previously, it was mainly because there was no suitable person in the Weapon Arts lineage besides me. Now that you have successfully formed your Nascent Soul, it's time for you to shoulder this important responsibility."

Chen Mobai had no attachment to power and directly offered to hand over the Weapon Arts Daoist Academy to Deng Daoyun.

"True Monarch, I have only just formed my Nascent Soul. Perhaps you could stay on for a while longer?"

Deng Daoyun, however, repeatedly shook his head, indicating that taking on the headmaster position now might be too much for him, and he needed some time to adapt.

"Alright, that works. The next fifteen to twenty years will be a tumultuous period. After the Purple Cloud Palace descends, I will likely need to fully prepare for the expansion war. I'll then step down and hand it over to you."

Chen Mobai nodded, accepting Deng Daoyun's suggestion, displaying the virtue of accepting advice.

"Thank you, Headmaster!"

Deng Daoyun hastily expressed his gratitude.

As a member of the Weapon Arts Daoist Academy, Deng Daoyun had already envisioned this scenario after forming his Nascent Soul. He felt both anticipation and apprehension about it.

After all, the previous three headmasters had all reached the Transformation God realm.

Baiguang had also served as headmaster during the Weapon Arts Daoist Academy's decline, only stepping down after Cheng Xuan formed his Nascent Soul.

Deng Daoyun had a clear understanding of himself, knowing that he certainly couldn't compare to the peerless geniuses Baiguang and Chen Mobai. Even when compared to Cheng Xuan, he was slightly inferior.

He only hoped to benefit from the Weapon Arts Daoist Academy's fortune of producing three Transformation God headmasters consecutively, so he might have a chance to reach the Transformation God realm himself in the future.

After formally entrusting all matters of the Daoist Academy to Deng Daoyun, Chen Mobai went to check on the back mountain, his sole remaining concern. Only after confirming that the elder, the youth, and the bird were living in harmony did he return to the Eastern Wasteland with peace of mind.

Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion.

Chen Mobai summoned his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbai, informed him of the Wood Spirit Talisman's function, and personally helped him refine it.

"This item is a secret treasure that only the Saint Sons and Saintesses of the Longevity Sect throughout history could use. It is incredibly precious, so remember not to tell anyone about it."

Hearing Chen Mobai's words, Liu Wenbai nodded repeatedly with a moved expression and swore an oath on the spot.

He knew very well that if a talisman capable of granting a cultivator a Heavenly Spiritual Root were to spread, even as a disciple of a Transformation God like Chen Mobai, he would likely be targeted by all the rogue cultivators in the world.

Even the great sects of the Eastern Lands might send people to act.

"Ultimately, for cultivators like us, our own cultivation is the most important thing. From now on, hand over the less important matters you are handling to your disciples..."

Liu Wenbai was over two hundred years old, but because he cultivated the Longevity Sutra, which extended his lifespan by 120 years, he was still at his peak.

However, due to limitations in his spiritual root aptitude and comprehension, his cultivation was only at the mid-stage Golden Core, the lowest among the four disciples.

Nevertheless, this was also because he was obedient and had never taken elixirs to boost his cultivation, relying solely on diligently refining spiritual energy. With such a solid foundation, and now having the Wood Spirit Talisman, there was at least a glimmer of hope for forming a Nascent Soul.

"Your disciple prostrates in gratitude for your master's benevolence!"

After Liu Wenbai left, Qing Nu, who had received a message from Chen Mobai, also emerged from her seclusion.
