Chapter 1223: Reappearing [Agent]

Main Volume Chapter 1225: The Reappearance of the Proxy

Chen Mobai was now unburdened by his many worries. After learning that there was a Nirvana Point within the Elixir Cauldron Jade Tree, he immediately used the power of the Nirvana Grand Dao to set it as his own. From then on, even if he were to fall in the cosmic starry sky, he would be able to be reborn here.

However, another problem immediately came to mind. What if he were to fall in the Tianhe Realm? Although given his cautious nature, this possibility was small, it was better to be safe than sorry. Therefore, to ensure he could revive no matter where he fell, Chen Mobai felt he should also establish a Nirvana Point in the Eastern Barrens.

However, Yin Qingmei's Azure Jade Parasol Tree was not of high enough grade, and it was her personal spirit plant, so using it would feel inappropriate. In that case, the Azure Jade Parasol Tree from Danxia Mountain could be transplanted to the Eastern Barrens. After all, he now had the Elixir Cauldron Jade Tree here in the Immortal Sect.

After his initial thoughts solidified, Chen Mobai exited seclusion. Taking the Azure Jade Parasol Tree would definitely require informing Qi Yuheng and the other Soul Transformation cultivators. He would frame it as placing it in the Dharma Realm as a realm-stabilizing spirit plant, and he didn't think they would object.

Upon arriving at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountain, Chen Mobai first went to look at the World Gate located on Wangxian Peak. He had previously posted on the Demonic Market platform, and after all these years, he wondered if anyone had replied. This matter also made him feel inconvenienced. Because the World Gate was public property of the Immortal Sect, it was not appropriate for him to take it privately. Previously, whether it was Ancestor Longchuo or Spirit Venerable Baiguang, they all left the World Gate behind when they departed, leaving hope for the Immortal Sect's future.

Although Chen Mobai was the only one in the Immortal Sect who had truly activated the World Gate's full functions, he still couldn't bring himself to take the World Gate with him into the cosmic starry sky for his own personal gain. If it really didn't work out, perhaps he could just leave it on Geomantic Star and use it for cosmic delivery.

Just as this thought flashed through Chen Mobai's mind, Turtle Treasure, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly popped up a window again. He thought it was the Purple Cloud Palace again, with another demon-infected planet descending. He opened it eagerly, only to find it read: "Detected host's cultivation level increased. Enable proxy?"

Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai felt a wave of disappointment. So it was just a proxy, after all! This function of Turtle Treasure would pop up every time Chen Mobai's cultivation broke through, but for him, all software in the Immortal Sect now granted him the highest level of authority, making the proxy function essentially useless. Therefore, Chen Mobai had not used this proxy function for a long time. After that, although Turtle Treasure would still pop up a window with every cultivation breakthrough, he would directly ignore it. It was the same now.

Chen Mobai clicked into it, intending to delete the pop-up, when he suddenly noticed something amiss. Because the proxy icon that popped up from Turtle Treasure this time looked somewhat like the World Gate? Could it be...? Chen Mobai immediately looked up at the World Gate before him, compared them carefully, and found that they were indeed identical.

With excitement, he clicked the proxy button, which he hadn't touched in two hundred years. Immediately after, a new icon suddenly appeared on his phone, as if software had been successfully installed. Chen Mobai immediately tapped it open, and a scene that surprised and delighted him unfolded. He had actually entered the World Gate directly through Turtle Treasure. In other words, Turtle Treasure had successfully proxied the World Gate before him. From now on, even if Chen Mobai went deep into the cosmic river of stars, and the World Gate remained on Geomantic Star, he would still be able to access it through the proxy icon on his phone.

However, likely because the World Gate's backend was too powerful, Turtle Treasure's proxy this time did not help unlock the highest authority. After the proxy, the account remained the original one: White Crane Dao Field Survivor Mutual Aid Association. This, surprisingly, made Chen Mobai breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the source of the World Gate was the Grand Void Dao Ancestor, an Eighth-level Pure Yang cultivator from the Central Dao Field. No matter how powerful Turtle Treasure was, any tampering with the authority would surely not escape that individual's notice. Now it was merely a new interface, allowing Chen Mobai to access and enter it anytime, anywhere in the universe via his phone.

With this matter resolved, Chen Mobai would only have one remaining concern when he eventually left Geomantic Star: the Three-Eyed Race.

He immediately went to the Demonic Market platform and looked at the post he had made several years ago. To his pleasant surprise, although there were still zero direct replies, the backend showed seven new friend requests. Chen Mobai checked the paths and saw they were all added from his post on the Demonic Market platform, clearly indicating interest in discussing business regarding the Three-Eyed Race planet. He immediately accepted them all with one click. Then, he sent a smiling emoji to everyone and proactively asked if they were interested in the business.

Three of them were online and replied immediately. But to Chen Mobai's dismay, they were all middlemen. They were all planet merchants with high credit scores, so cultivators who wanted to sell information about planets would usually list them with these merchants for brokerage sales. If a transaction was successful, they would take half of the Dao Merit. The advantage was that they would use their credit score to help Chen Mobai facilitate the business and find interested hunters. Many intelligence agents with zero credit scores, if they happened to discover a demon-infected planet, would generally go through these middlemen for convenience, saving time and effort.

However, Chen Mobai intended to pursue this as a long-term profession. In this universe, it was impossible for anyone to find more demon-infected planets than him. And taking half was a bit too harsh. Sometimes, a single deal on the Demonic Market platform might not even yield one Dao Merit. However, Chen Mobai did not directly refuse, only saying that he needed to consider it. The three planet merchants didn't say much in response; they cast a wide net, hoping to catch whoever they could.

Next, Chen Mobai waited a while longer. Soon, two more newly added friends replied. These were not middlemen, but hunters. However, after roughly inquiring about the location and learning it was in the peripheral regions of the Purple Cloud Galaxy, near the Xuan Palace, they directly declined. They stated that the location was too far, and the Dao Merit earned wouldn't even cover the travel expenses. Chen Mobai could only place his hopes on the last two new friends.

They were likely in seclusion, as there was no reply after waiting for two days. So, Chen Mobai decided to first summon the Immortal Sect's Soul Transformation cultivators to deal with matters on Geomantic Star. Anyway, he could now check the World Gate's account information on his phone at any time, so he wouldn't miss anything.

Soon after, the Soul Transformation cultivators of the Immortal Sect, having received his notification, gathered at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountain. Chen Mobai first announced his intention to take the Azure Jade Parasol Tree from Danxia Mountain and place it within the Dharma Realm.

"I have no objection to this matter," Qi Yuheng said directly after hearing it. The other Soul Transformation cultivators of the Immortal Sect also nodded in agreement, indicating they felt the same. And so, the matter was settled.

Afterward, Gongye Zhixu, who had received the news, rushed over. As the Master of the Immortal Affairs Hall, he needed to find a legal justification for the Azure Jade Parasol Tree's disappearance. Chen Mobai no longer bothered with this matter, entrusting Gongye Zhixu and Chen Xiaohei to handle it, as his daughter happened to be in charge of all spirit plants in the Immortal Sect.

"Brother Chunyang, your cultivation seems to have advanced again." Beside them, True Monarch Qingping, who had now fully cultivated the One-Yuan Dao Scripture, sensed that Chen Mobai's aura was different after exiting seclusion, relying on the profundities of the Primal Chaos Pearl.

"Alas, it's because I sent off some acquaintances a while ago, which helped me understand some threads of fate, I suppose. My state of mind greatly improved, and along with it, my cultivation broke through to the late stage of Soul Transformation…" Chen Mobai sighed, his expression slightly downcast. The theoretical lifespan for Foundation Establishment is 240 years. Those skilled in health preservation might live a few more years, but during the years he spent in seclusion, his former university and high school classmates, whom he had met before, had all passed away one by one. Because he was in the Yuqing Minor Realm at the time, he couldn't attend. However, Ming Yihua and Yan Bingxuan had handled the posthumous affairs of these friends very well on his behalf. Although he had been mentally prepared, Chen Mobai still felt a sense of melancholy upon seeing these messages after exiting seclusion.

He was only a little over two hundred years old, which, compared to his lifespan, was merely equivalent to childhood; he still had over three thousand years to live. If, many years from now, Qi Yuheng and the other Soul Transformation cultivators before him all passed away, Chen Mobai wondered what meaning his life on this world would hold. Even if he broke through to Void Refinement, Dao Integration, or even Pure Yang, without the astonishment of these acquaintances, he felt it would be utterly bland. He wondered how those immortal Dao Integration True Immortals and Pure Yang Grand Powers dispelled their loneliness. It was precisely because of this that Chen Mobai hoped even more that his relatives and friends could cultivate and break through to higher realms alongside him.

"You're already at the late stage of Soul Transformation!" However, Qi Yuheng and the others paid no mind to Chen Mobai's melancholy; they were all astonished by the rapid pace of his realm breakthrough. How long had it been since his last breakthrough? Just over twenty years. If this were the Nascent Soul realm, some might not even be able to break through a minor layer in twenty years.

"Aside from my greatly improved state of mind, it's mainly due to the effects of the Heaven-Deceiving Talisman and the Flying Immortal Dragon Gall Pill, as well as the enduring power of the Pure Yang Grand Dao." Chen Mobai also spoke frankly. Although with his current status, even if he had reached Soul Transformation perfection in a year, Qi Yuheng and the others would at most be shocked again, he felt there was no need to conceal it in this regard. He explained the reasons and key points behind his rapid breakthrough to the late stage of Soul Transformation, emphasizing that it was best not to imitate him without secret techniques for quickly recovering from physical injuries.

"To think there's such a brilliant concept!" After listening, everyone was filled with awe. Among them, True Monarch Taohua showed a hint of eagerness, as the Evergreen Art of the Jumang Dao Academy was the least afraid of injuries.

"I heard the Spirit-Astonishing Congealing Spirit Pill has been successfully refined. It's time to give the diligent Nascent Soul cultivators below a chance to advance," Chen Mobai said, shifting to official business after discussing his cultivation. Upon hearing this, all the Soul Transformation cultivators present became solemn. After all, one Spirit-Astonishing Congealing Spirit Pill was equivalent to one opportunity to reach Soul Transformation. Although it only had half the effect of the Spirit-Astonishing Melody, compared to the Immortal Sect's previous resources, it was an extremely rare and precious elixir. And clearly, every Soul Transformation cultivator wanted their own lineage to receive more.

This elixir was refined on the Five Peaks Immortal Mountain. True Monarch Taohua was the main person in charge, and Qi Yuheng and other Soul Transformation cultivators supervised; essentially, Soul Transformation cultivators oversaw the entire process. Chen Mobai led Qi Yuheng and others to instantly teleport before the elixir furnace. The one currently overseeing it was Chengxuan, who had been idle since the pioneering war.

"Ten pills have been refined, all of excellent and perfect quality. True Monarch Taohua, who was in charge of this, has worked hard," Chen Mobai said to True Monarch Taohua after personally opening the furnace and checking and packing each pill. True Monarch Taohua, uncharacteristically modest, replied, "It's not my credit alone. Yuanxu and Sanjue also helped a great deal."

Among them, Yuanxu, being Qianxing's disciple, still had unused benefits from Qianxing's legacy. Additionally, his Inch Scroll had helped the Immortal Sect with many tasks, accumulating no small amount of merit, so he was essentially guaranteed one Spirit-Astonishing Congealing Spirit Pill. And True Monarch Taohua bringing up both Yuanxu and Sanjue clearly indicated her desire to ensure Sanjue also received one pill.

Chen Mobai understood her intention immediately. He suspended the ten Spirit-Astonishing Congealing Spirit Pills in the air before him and gestured for everyone to sit on the ground, beginning discussions on the elixir's distribution.

"Beiming of the Kunpeng Dao Academy didn't receive Soul Transformation resources last time. I believe it should be his turn this time," Qi Yuheng was the first to speak. Given his impending departure from Geomantic Star, he certainly needed to make arrangements for his own Dao Academy. To this, True Monarch Taohua retorted, "Yunhai also belongs to your Kunpeng lineage," which, while not a direct objection, clearly implied opposition.

True Monarch Qingping then suggested, "Yuanxu's contributions to the Immortal Sect are extraordinary; I believe he should receive one pill." No one objected to this, and all eyes turned to Chen Mobai.

"Agreed." Chen Mobai naturally agreed; he always made proper arrangements for his own people. Moreover, Yuanxu had done many things for him over the years, accumulating not just merit but also considerable effort. Hearing him say this, Qi Yuheng and the others also nodded. Thus, Yuanxu became the first Nascent Soul cultivator of the Immortal Sect to secure a Spirit-Astonishing Congealing Spirit Pill.

"I propose Sanjue..." After Yuanxu, True Monarch Taohua continued, "I propose Sanjue..." Qi Yuheng instinctively wanted to object, but then he remembered how, in his youth, he had damaged his body's essence from over-cultivation, and it was Sanjue who helped him recover. The words on the tip of his tongue stopped. However, Kunpeng's lineage would certainly oppose Jumang's; this was a matter of stance. Qi Yuheng gave Yunhai a look, but Yunhai also wore a difficult expression. Although he had been healthy his entire life and never sought treatment from Sanjue, his friends, students, and relatives had experienced difficulties getting treatment and had sought Sanjue's help.

"I agree." Just as Qi Yuheng and Yunhai were stumped, Chen Mobai immediately voiced his opinion. He also owed Sanjue a significant debt of gratitude; without Sanjue's miraculous skills, Chen Xiaohei likely wouldn't be alive today. Thus, relying on the goodwill accumulated from a lifetime of practicing medicine, Sanjue became the second Nascent Soul cultivator of the Immortal Sect, after Yuanxu, to secure a Spirit-Astonishing Congealing Spirit Pill.
