Chapter 883: Understanding the Great Void Shift

During his half-year stay at the Heavenly Book Academy, Chen Mobai read through all the Heavenly Books one by one.

Among these, he couldn't understand a single word of the three books: *Mahayana*, *Taiyuan*, and *Shengmie*.

He understood most of *Zi Qing* and *Feng Zhuan*.

He managed to fully comprehend *Dao Lyu*, understanding the principles of rules and the path to achieving godhood through them.

He also surprisingly understood quite a bit of the last book, *Huan Yu*.

The *Huan Yu* Heavenly Book records the Great Dao of Void. It is said that by comprehending this book, one can fully master the 'Gate of Realms,' a sixth-tier supreme treasure.

Chen Mobai speculated that it might be due to his long-term interaction with the Turtle Treasure, coupled with his external avatar refining a significant amount of Void Stones, which fed back to his main body, essentially making him a semi-Void Spiritual Physique.

While comprehending the fourth page of the *Huan Yu* Heavenly Book, Chen Mobai suddenly understood all the mysteries of the Grand Void Teleportation.

"Is it really that simple?" he wondered.

He stood up in disbelief. In an instant, his divine sense surged forth, and he pinpointed the farthest distance he could reach. This distance already exceeded the maximum range of Void Walking by more than three times.

But Chen Mobai felt that as long as his mind stirred, he could easily teleport his physical body there.

A strong impulse surged within him, but fortunately, he calmly restrained himself.

After all, he knew that without the Evergreen Art or a fifth-tier body tempering technique, taking that step would be equivalent to suicide.

"Alas, my cultivation level is still too low," he sighed. "Even though I've learned it, I don't dare use it!"

As Chen Mobai lamented inwardly, he opened the fifth page of the *Huan Yu* Heavenly Book and discovered that he could actually understand it too.

"Could it be that I truly have a great talent in the Great Dao of Void?" he wondered.

Amidst his doubts, he immediately focused his mind, entered the state of the Square Inch Book, and began to comprehend.

Half a day later, he opened the sixth page with a look of pleasant surprise, but at this point, the Great Dao recorded in the Heavenly Book became too profound for him, and he finally started to not understand.

Nevertheless, being able to understand six pages already made him very happy.

Especially the sixth page, which surprisingly recorded a method to avoid the backlash of Void energy, named "Void Substitute"!

For example, with Chen Mobai's current cultivation level, if he wanted to perform Grand Void Teleportation, he would have to wait until his body tempering technique reached the fifth-tier. However, this page recorded that he could use other fifth-tier natal artifacts to act as a substitute and bear the cost of Grand Void Teleportation.

For other Nascent Soul cultivators in the Immortal Sect, even comprehending this page would be useless.

Because they simply didn't possess any fifth-tier natal artifacts.

But Chen Mobai not only had them, but he also had more than one. Under the 'Unified Covenant,' all his magical artifacts could be considered natal.

He was already pondering whether the Violet Lightning Sword would be more suitable, or the Heavenly Origin Pearl.

If other Nascent Soul cultivators in the Immortal Sect knew about this kind of 'happy trouble,' their eyes would probably turn red with envy.

Soon, Chen Mobai decided to use the Violet Lightning Sword.

Because he would definitely be frequently using Grand Void Teleportation here in the Immortal Sect, and the Heavenly Origin Pearl, after all, was from the Heavenly River Realm and shouldn't be publicly displayed.

The Violet Lightning Sword was a top-tier sword artifact with a legitimate background in the Immortal Sect. Thanks to the influence of film and television, it was basically common knowledge; only its upgrade to the fifth-tier would require some explanation.

However, it was also easy to explain. After all, he was an unparalleled sword dao genius. Over these decades, he had achieved perfect resonance with the Violet Lightning Sword, and by nurturing it with his divine sense and spiritual energy, it was perfectly reasonable for the sword's spirituality to greatly increase and break through to the fifth-tier.

Furthermore, he was the top graduate of the Artifact Dance Academy, the ancestral hall of artifact refining; he inherently possessed an aura for artifact refining.

A magical artifact advancing in tier in his hands signified that the Artifact Dance Academy lived up to its reputation and that Reverend Chengxuan taught well!

Thinking this way, Chen Mobai became a little impatient.

When the Violet Lightning Sword was released, it was still a bit excited, thinking it was going to chop people again.

"This time, you have another mission..."

Chen Mobai explained the content of the Void Substitute, but the Violet Lightning Sword didn't quite understand. The first thing it asked was, "Master, how many spirit stones do I get for one substitution?"

"How did this child become so vulgar!" Chen Mobai thought.

Chen Mobai thought this, but still held up one finger.

"Master, after my upgrade, I need more spiritual energy," it communicated. "It costs quite a bit to move once. How about two pieces?"

If it were before, Chen Mobai would definitely bargain the price down. But after taking over the Xuanxiao Dao Palace, the spirit stones on him were practically piling up like mountains, so he no longer cared about the gain or loss of one or two pieces.

"Alright, you've grown up after all," Chen Mobai replied. "You do need to 'eat' more spirit stones."

After hearing Chen Mobai's words, the Violet Lightning Sword muttered to itself, wondering if it had asked for too little.

However, it still had some basic sense of shame. Two pieces were what it had asked for itself, so it couldn't go back on its word.

Using the 'Unified Covenant,' after designating the Violet Lightning Sword as his 'fellow companion,' Chen Mobai immediately performed the Grand Void Teleportation he had just comprehended.

With this Grand Teleportation technique, the farther the distance, the stronger the backlash of Void energy one needed to bear.

For his first attempt, even with the Void Substitute technique, Chen Mobai was very cautious and tried it within this pavilion.

After his divine sense completed the positioning, Chen Mobai held the Violet Lightning Sword in his palm.

Then, a silver light flashed, and he instantly teleported out of thin air to the staircase leading upstairs.

"This isn't difficult at all!"

Chen Mobai couldn't help but laugh heartily. Although he could cover this small distance faster with Void Walking, he was certain he had just used Grand Void Teleportation because the Violet Lightning Sword was still trembling lightly in his hand.

"Master, I feel a bit tingly," the Violet Lightning Sword communicated.

The Violet Lightning Sword conveyed its first sensation of enduring the Void energy backlash as a substitute.

Chen Mobai immediately began his second attempt, covering a slightly greater distance this time.

From the top floor to downstairs.

The Violet Lightning Sword reported a similar feeling.

Then Chen Mobai teleported from the first floor to the entrance of the Heavenly Book Academy.

The Violet Lightning Sword reported that it felt like a massage, quite comfortable.

Just as Chen Mobai was about to use his divine sense to pinpoint the airport in Weiyu Grotto-heaven, a silver light flickered in mid-air, and Reverend Yu Yi, with furrowed brows, stepped out using Void Walking.

"Reverend Chunyang, why are you disturbing so much Void energy?" Reverend Yu Yi asked. "Are you trying out some Void spell?"

Reverend Yu Yi knew Chen Mobai was comprehending the *Huan Yu* Heavenly Book, and she had indeed guessed the truth.

"It's nothing," Chen Mobai replied. "I'm just trying to move my position using Void energy. Since I don't know my limits, I'm testing it step by step."

Chen Mobai was also telling the truth. After all, in the Immortal Sect, he needed to constantly maintain his image as a genius.

The commotion from his successful Nascent Soul formation had subsided over the years, and comprehending Grand Void Teleportation was a good way to boost his popularity again.

"Hasn't Reverend Chunyang already mastered Void Walking?" Reverend Yu Yi asked. "With your cultivation level, traversing the entire territory of this Weiyu Grotto-heaven shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Reverend Yu Yi, however, still thought Chen Mobai was practicing Void Walking. This was because, according to the Immortal Sect's experience, even most Nascent Soul cultivators would only fully master it by the second or third layers of the Nascent Soul stage.

Chen Mobai had mastered Void Walking during his Golden Core stage. Now at the first layer of the Nascent Soul stage, perhaps after reading the *Huan Yu* Heavenly Book, he had perfected this spatial technique.

"Void Walking? Reverend, you've misunderstood," Chen Mobai said. "I was already proficient in that during my Golden Core stage. Now I'm trying Grand Void Teleportation."

Chen Mobai's understated remark made Reverend Yu Yi widen her eyes once again; she almost thought she had misheard.

"Grand... Void Teleportation!" she exclaimed. "Are you out of your mind?!"

After realizing the truth, Reverend Yu Yi actually stomped her foot in mid-air.

"Even if you are exceptionally talented," she lectured, "you shouldn't joke with your life! Who doesn't know that Grand Void Teleportation requires fifth-tier body tempering to withstand it!"

If something happened to Chen Mobai in her Heavenly Book Academy, she dared not imagine how she would be punished by the Immortal Sect's Twin Sages!

After all, this could be the Immortal Sect's future Third Sage!

"Thank you for your concern, Reverend Yu Yi," Chen Mobai said with a smile. "However, I comprehended a Void Substitute technique from the *Huan Yu* Heavenly Book, which can bear the spatial backlash of Grand Void Teleportation in my stead."

Chen Mobai explained with a smile, then, in front of Reverend Yu Yi, he demonstrated Grand Void Teleportation once again.

The spatial fluctuations, completely different from Void Walking, made Reverend Yu Yi confirm that Chen Mobai was telling the truth.

Seeing Chen Mobai teleport ten steps in mid-air while holding the Violet Lightning Sword, completely unharmed, Reverend Yu Yi finally understood what a true genius was.

One must know that from her Qi Condensation stage as a child, through graduation, and then to Core Formation, she had always been the top person, surpassing all her peers. Even among the other Nascent Soul Reverends in the Immortal Sect, she only felt slightly inferior to Qi Yuheng. As for the others like Lin Daoming, Wang Chengxuan, Ying Guanghua, etc., she felt that given the same resources and time, she would eventually catch up.

But today, Reverend Yu Yi, already over six hundred years old, facing Chen Mobai, felt for the first time that there truly was someone who could be called a genius in front of her.

Compared to him, Qi Yuheng was merely like a piece of ordinary jade.

"Reverend Chunyang truly is... destined for immortality!"

At this moment, Reverend Yu Yi recalled the title she had scoffed at previously. She had originally thought that being deemed 'potential for God Transformation' was already high praise for Chen Mobai, but now it seemed far from enough.

"This is indeed potential for immortality!"

Previously, her understanding had been shallow.

"Reverend, you overpraise me," Chen Mobai said, waving his hand repeatedly, but the smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed. "I merely have some special talent regarding the Void."

"Reverend Chunyang's Violet Lightning Sword, I never expected it to be fifth-tier already," Reverend Yu Yi remarked. "Truly worthy of being the top graduate of the Artifact Dance Academy."

Reverend Yu Yi then thought of the Void Substitute technique Chen Mobai had just mentioned. She looked at the ancient sword artifact in his hand, shimmering with purple light, and couldn't help but show an envious expression.

"The Artifact Dance Academy has truly struck it rich!"

If their Heavenly Book Academy had 'found' Chen Mobai, they would probably even become the Immortal Sect's Fifth Great Dao Academy in the future!
