Chapter 882: Browsing the Heavenly Book

After fully comprehending the Dao Law Heavenly Book, Chen Mobai sat quietly for a while, contemplating how to establish rules in the Eastern Desolate.

The rules of the Immortal Sect had always been safeguarded by Divine Transformation True Monarchs. If Chen Mobai desired a Dao Law seed, he could only seek out Patriarch Qianxing at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountain.

However, given his cautious nature, he would certainly not do that.

After all, within the Immortal Sect, he was known for his Divine Transformation potential. Even Venerable Yu Yi believed that refining rules would be a waste of his talent.

Moreover, he was only at the first level of the Nascent Soul realm. Refining rules was a path only attempted by venerables in the Immortal Sect who had been stuck at the Nascent Soul bottleneck for hundreds of years, with no further progress possible.

According to the Immortal Sect's procedure, Chen Mobai would at least have to wait until he became one of the Three Great Hall Masters before he could legitimately raise this matter with Patriarch Qianxing.

It was better to first cultivate the human civilization of the small immortal sects in the Eastern Desolate. After all, even if he obtained a Dao Law seed, he wouldn't be able to refine the rules without sufficient cultivation.

With a clear plan in mind, Chen Mobai put down the Dao Law Heavenly Book.

Soon after, Venerable Yu Yi, having received his message, arrived. She asked with some curiosity, "Has Venerable Chunyang finished comprehending it so quickly?"

After listening, Chen Mobai nodded slightly, as if he had gained some insight. "Perhaps it's because I love the Immortal Sect and serve the people wholeheartedly, taking it as my duty to protect their safety, uphold social justice, and dedicate myself selflessly. That's why I'm so compatible with this Dao Law Heavenly Book and comprehended it quickly."

Venerable Yu Yi's delicate eyes widened upon hearing these words. She didn't believe such a person existed in the world, but Chen Mobai, with his Divine Transformation potential, claiming to have comprehended the Dao Law Heavenly Book, made it impossible for her not to believe.

"You... comprehended it!?"

Chen Mobai nodded with a touch of modesty. Unfortunately, comprehending the Dao Law Heavenly Book did not elevate his cultivation realm or anything similar, so he couldn't actually demonstrate it to Venerable Yu Yi.

"I must report this matter to Patriarch Qianxing," Venerable Yu Yi said. "He mentioned that if someone comprehends the Dao Law Heavenly Book, they are certainly highly compatible with the rules and very likely to refine a Dao Law Fruit."

As Venerable Yu Yi spoke, Chen Mobai immediately became worried.

He was accustomed to displaying his talents within the Immortal Sect, but this time, it seemed he had been a bit too outstanding.

However, since it was Patriarch Qianxing's order, he had no way to stop it.

"Actually, this is just a small matter," Chen Mobai expressed his thoughts tactfully. "I only recently formed my Nascent Soul a few years ago. Even if I were to refine rules, it would be far too early..."

Chen Mobai tactfully voiced his thoughts, but Venerable Yu Yi had already taken out her phone and sent a text message.

"The Patriarch is probably playing a game right now," she said. "He should call back after he's finished."

Venerable Yu Yi didn't dare to call Patriarch Qianxing presumptuously, so she first described the matter in text. Seeing this, Chen Mobai didn't say anything more.

In his mind, he was already figuring out how to find an excuse when he eventually met Patriarch Qianxing.

While waiting for Patriarch Qianxing's response, Venerable Yu Yi proactively remarked, "Patriarch Qianxing must have known long ago that you are highly compatible with the rules. Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically allowed you to peruse this Dao Law Heavenly Book." She genuinely took it seriously when Chen Mobai had mentioned this matter back when he was at the Wuqi Dao Academy.

"Oh, it's nothing," Chen Mobai replied humbly. "I merely comprehended a few mysteries of the rules. By the way, can I apply to view the other six Heavenly Books now?"

After using his Inch-Square Book to comprehend the Dao Law Heavenly Book, Chen Mobai's interest was piqued regarding the other six Heavenly Books.

He thought that if he could comprehend them all, he might even reach the Divine Transformation realm while still in the Nascent Soul stage.

"It's not impossible," Venerable Yu Yi replied after hearing him. "As long as you have enough points. Do you have six hundred million points?"

"I should have over a billion," Chen Mobai nodded, stating a number that slightly surprised Venerable Yu Yi.

Over the years, all the merit points Chen Mobai earned had been actively used to purchase void blind boxes, each providing him with one hundred million points. Although he had spent a considerable amount on downloading the Primordial Sun Sword Art and other things, viewing all seven Heavenly Books would still be no problem.

"All six others? Should you perhaps take it easy..."

At this point, Venerable Yu Yi actually advised him against it. It wasn't that she thought Chen Mobai was wasting points, but rather that perusing the Heavenly Books consumed a great deal of mental energy. She suggested Chen Mobai could come to view two books each year, without needing to rush.

"Let's just keep looking for now," Chen Mobai said. "We don't know when Patriarch Qianxing will finish his game."

All Nascent Soul Venerables in the Immortal Sect knew that when Patriarch Qianxing started playing games, he wouldn't stop day or night; sometimes, he might not finish for several years.

Since Venerable Yu Yi had reported the matter, both of them would definitely have to wait for his summons.

During this time, they needed something to pass the time.

"Alright then, you can apply first," she said. "I'll open the restrictions for you one by one."

Venerable Yu Yi could only nod in agreement after hearing him say this.

The main reason was that activating five-tier talismans consumed a lot of true qi, and she couldn't handle opening seven Heavenly Books consecutively in a short period.

In front of her, Chen Mobai applied for permission to view the other six Heavenly Books.

Then, as he requested, Venerable Yu Yi first removed the restrictions on the Purple Green Heavenly Book.

"Venerable Chunyang, take your time comprehending it. Call me when you want to view the next one."

As Venerable Yu Yi spoke, she subtly masked her fatigue. The true qi she had expended to open the Dao Law Heavenly Book hadn't fully recovered, and opening the Purple Green Heavenly Book again made her feel as if her Nascent Soul had shrunk a bit.

Chen Mobai politely saw Venerable Yu Yi off, then, holding the Purple Green Heavenly Book, he went to the windowsill and resumed reading in the same posture he had used to comprehend the Dao Law Heavenly Book.

The cover of the Purple Green Heavenly Book featured a Taiji symbol, clearly representing the Qi of the Two Polarities.

Chen Mobai nodded lightly and then opened to the first page. As expected, it was again a pattern, resembling a chaotic mass.

He scrutinized it for a long time, then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Why couldn't he understand it?

He had clearly already thoroughly comprehended the Purple Green Devil-Refining Heavenly Book translated by Venerable Qing Shi and Venerable Qing Jing. Even if this original Heavenly Book was exceptionally abstruse, he should at least be able to understand most of it.

Perhaps the first page was too difficult.

Thinking this, Chen Mobai immediately entered the state of his Inch-Square Book, but found that even this couldn't help him understand it.

It didn't make sense; he had even comprehended the Dao Law Heavenly Book. Could it be that the Purple Green Heavenly Book was of a higher grade?

Chen Mobai calmed himself and continued to the second page, which displayed a pattern of purple and green intertwining into a vortex.

He finally understood: this depicted the condensation of the Qi of the Two Polarities.

The third page then showed the refinement of the Qi of the Two Polarities into the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Lumina Qi.

He continued reading until he reached the sixth page, where he finally couldn't understand it again.

However, at this point, he no longer cared.

Because what he could understand represented the insights of Venerable Qing Shi and Venerable Qing Jing, which were correct.

As for what he couldn't understand, it indicated that the two venerables hadn't understood it either. If even they couldn't comprehend it, it was understandable that Chen Mobai couldn't grasp it.

Thinking this, Chen Mobai flipped through the last three pages as well. After memorizing these patterns, he brewed a cup of Enlightenment Tea and started flipping through the book from the beginning again.

However, it was clear that the efficacy of this third-tier Enlightenment Tea was almost negligible for the Heavenly Book.

Perhaps a genuine Enlightenment Tea brewed with sixth-tier Grand Toon tree leaves might be effective. Given Chen Mobai's current status, the Jumang Dao Academy would likely grant him the favor of providing a pot.

However, Enlightenment Tea was most effective only when consumed for the first time. Chen Mobai had already drunk it during his Foundation Establishment stage, so its effect would be diminished on a second use.

He didn't regret this, as he certainly wouldn't have achieved his current accomplishments if he hadn't drunk that cup of Enlightenment Tea during his Foundation Establishment.

Subsequently, Chen Mobai re-entered the Inch-Square Book state and reviewed all nine pages of the Purple Green Heavenly Book. Unfortunately, he could still only understand the pages that Venerable Qing Shi and Venerable Qing Jing had translated.

He didn't force himself to comprehend further. After closing the Heavenly Book, he immediately called Venerable Yu Yi, asking her to come and lift the restrictions on the Phoenix Seal Heavenly Book.

When Chen Mobai received the Phoenix Seal Heavenly Book, he didn't notice that Venerable Yu Yi's face had turned slightly pale; his entire attention was focused on the Wutong Tree Where the Phoenix Rests illustration on the cover.

The Phoenix Seal Heavenly Book had a total of only seven pages.

The cover depicted the foundation of the Danfeng Towards the Sun Diagram: the Wutong Tree Where the Phoenix Rests!

Pages one to six then detailed: "Its food is substantial, its drink is ceremonial, it communicates with heavenly blessings, it responds to earthly spirits, it harmonizes the five notes, it surveys the nine virtues!"

Evidently, the ancient sages of the Dan Ding Sect had comprehended ninety percent of this Heavenly Book, with only the last blank page remaining, for which there was still no answer.

Chen Mobai didn't bother expending mental effort. After all, this was something even the revered predecessors couldn't understand. After reviewing it with his Inch-Square Book, he candidly put it down.

Then he called Venerable Yu Yi again.

"Venerable Chunyang," Venerable Yu Yi finally couldn't hold back, "My true qi consumption has been quite severe. How about you look at those three Heavenly Books you have for now, and wait for me to recover?"

If it had been any other Nascent Soul cultivator, she would certainly have been secretly cursing them in her heart for pretending to understand something they didn't.

But Chen Mobai was definitely not like that. He possessed Divine Transformation potential, and having finished both the Purple Green and Phoenix Seal Heavenly Books so quickly, he must have comprehended them, just like the Dao Law Heavenly Book.

At the very least, he must have understood most of it.

Thus, Venerable Yu Yi didn't try to appear strong and directly expressed her difficulty.

Repeatedly activating five-tier talismans in a short period already showed her exceptional talismanship skills, but no matter how skilled she was, she was still only at the Nascent Soul realm. Opening the restrictions on another Heavenly Book, she estimated, would damage her vital energy.

Upon learning this, Chen Mobai immediately apologized, "My fault, my fault. I'll just look at these three books I have then!"

Chen Mobai had originally thought he would only be able to view these three Heavenly Books this time.

However, unexpectedly, Patriarch Qianxing's gaming session this time was exceptionally long.

He even spent the New Year at the Heavenly Book Academy.

Of course, during this period, Venerable Yu Yi also recovered her breath and successively unsealed all the Heavenly Books for him.
