Chapter 884: Positioning Permissions

After explaining things clearly to Yu Yi Shangren, Chen Mobai continued to test his Great Void Teleportation.

He quickly discovered that even when teleporting to the furthest reach of his spiritual sense, the Purple Lightning Sword could easily withstand it. One could only say that the fifth and fourth tiers were indeed incomparable. However, this was not the limit of Great Void Teleportation, but rather the limit of Chen Mobai's spiritual sense.

Before teleporting with Great Void Teleportation, positioning was required. There were two methods for this positioning: one was within the range covered by one's own spiritual sense, determined by one's will. But in that case, it wouldn't quite live up to the name "Great Teleportation," because the spiritual sense range of a Nascent Soul cultivator was limited and couldn't cover the entire Earth Realm Star. Therefore, there was another positioning method within the Immortal Sect: utilizing the Heaven-Earth Network Grand Formation.

Qi Yuheng did just that; he had the authority to borrow this grand formation to pinpoint any location among the Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands on the Earth Realm Star. After the sixth-tier grand formation helped him pinpoint the location, he would then use Great Void Teleportation to instantly move there. However, since Qi Yuheng's cultivation was not truly at the God Transformation stage, a nascent fifth-tier physique could not actually withstand the journey if the distance exceeded half a planet. But this was merely the difference between one or two Great Void Teleportations.

Chen Mobai only learned all this information after calling Cheng Xuan Shangren, as the latter could also perform Great Void Teleportation and had obtained the same positioning authority as Qi Yuheng.

"How do I apply for this?" Chen Mobai immediately asked. Now that he had the ability to use Great Void Teleportation, he naturally desired this authority.

"It's simple," Cheng Xuan Shangren replied, "Just write an application to the Heaven-Earth Network Management Bureau. The Immortal Affairs Hall won't block this matter." Cheng Xuan Shangren explained that those who could perform Great Void Teleportation within the Immortal Sect were true high-level cultivators. Moreover, merely having positioning authority wouldn't consume much spiritual energy from heaven and earth, making it harmless to the Heaven-Earth Network Management Bureau.

"Though I knew you were a genius, to be able to perform Great Void Teleportation at the first layer of the Nascent Soul stage still greatly shocks this old man," Cheng Xuan Shangren said. When Cheng Xuan Shangren first received Chen Mobai's call asking about Great Void Teleportation, he thought he misheard. After hearing about the Void Decoy technique and that the Purple Lightning Sword had been upgraded to the fifth tier, he suddenly felt truly old.

"Not at all, not at all. There are still many things I need to learn from you, Principal." Chen Mobai was always humble when facing elders. After all, he knew that his current achievements were entirely due to resources, whereas ninety-nine percent of Cheng Xuan Shangren's generation relied on their own talent. Those who succeeded through their own efforts were all worthy of respect.

"Now that you've mastered Great Void Teleportation, you can visit the Dao Academy more often when you have time. Since you've upgraded the Purple Lightning Sword to the fifth tier, if you brush up on your artifact refining basics a bit, you'll certainly be able to become a fifth-tier artifact refiner in the future. That way, I can retire peacefully and entrust the Dao Academy to you."

Cheng Xuan Shangren's words greatly moved Chen Mobai, especially since he still had a Grand Abyss Blue Pearl that hadn't been refined. If he could consult a fifth-tier artifact refiner like Cheng Xuan Shangren, he could undoubtedly use this fifth-tier spiritual material to craft a life-bound magical artifact for Qing Nü that would benefit her for life.

"Alright, Principal, I'll come to Mount Chicheng to consult with you after I've dealt with the matters I currently have at hand." Chen Mobai agreed.

After his call with Cheng Xuan Shangren ended, Chen Mobai immediately called Yun Yangbing at the Heaven-Earth Network Management Bureau. After forming his Golden Core, Yun Yangbing, with the support of the Wuqi Dao Academy, was already making a push for the position of deputy director.

"Positioning authority for Great Void Teleportation!? You're truly incredible!" Yun Yangbing listened to Chen Mobai and expressed his heartfelt admiration.

"Not at all, not at all. The mysteries of the Universal Heavenly Scroll are boundless. Even without me, someone else in the Immortal Sect would have comprehended it in the future." Although Chen Mobai spoke humbly, the amusement in his voice was impossible to hide.

"I'll find a sample application form and draft one for you. If you review it and find no issues, just affix your seal, and then have Zijing send it to our Heaven-Earth Network Management Bureau office in the name of the Zhengfa Hall. I'll handle the rest of the process for you. The final approval will come from the Immortal Affairs Hall, so you might need to say hello to Hall Master Ying." Yun Yangbing briefly explained the application process for this authority. Given Chen Mobai's current status, even without Yun Yangbing's help, the process would certainly be unimpeded, just a bit slower.

"Thank you for your trouble, then." After finishing the call with Yun Yangbing, Chen Mobai also informed Hua Zijing about the matter and asked her to coordinate it. Finally, he called Ying Guanghua.

After listening to Chen Mobai, Ying Guanghua remained silent for a long time before sighing and saying, "Vice Hall Master Chen truly lives up to his potential for God Transformation!"

"Hall Master Ying, you flatter me," Chen Mobai replied. "I merely have a bit of talent in the void aspect. I regret not heeding your advice when I was younger. If I had come to the Heavenly Scroll Academy to comprehend back then, I estimate I would have been able to perform Great Void Teleportation even at the Golden Core stage." Chen Mobai's words reminded Ying Guanghua of their first meeting when he had intended to use the Seven Heavenly Scrolls to impede Chen Mobai's cultivation progress.

Ying Guanghua forced a smile and then stated that he would give instructions regarding the Great Void Teleportation positioning authority, ensuring that the Immortal Affairs Hall would expedite the process for Vice Hall Master Chen as quickly as possible.

After hanging up the phone, Ying Guanghua began to doubt his own talent for the first time. He had also perused all Seven Heavenly Scrolls, but only understood the first few pages of the Dao Law Heavenly Scroll due to his work position. At that time, Ying Guanghua considered himself quite capable, as most cultivators in the Immortal Sect gained nothing from perusing the Seven Heavenly Scrolls. To understand even a little was already a sign of outstanding comprehension. Someone like him, who understood several pages, was a genius. And prodigies like Qing Shi and Qing Jing were supreme geniuses.

Given Chen Mobai's foundation, the Purple-Green and Phoenix Seal Heavenly Scrolls certainly posed no difficulty for him. Furthermore, he had comprehended Great Void Teleportation and the Void Decoy technique from the Universal Heavenly Scroll. To comprehend the essence of three Heavenly Scrolls alone—there had never been such an astonishing person in the Immortal Sect, past or present!

Feeling his Dao heart wounded, Ying Guanghua called Lan Haitian in and gave him instructions regarding Chen Mobai's matter. As soon as Lan Haitian heard that Chen Mobai was to be granted positioning authority for Great Void Teleportation, he immediately understood why, his pupils constricting in disbelief.

"Before the pioneering war begins, instruct those below to avoid conflicts with the Wuqi lineage," Ying Guanghua stated. Ying Guanghua said this, and Lan Haitian nodded, his expression solemn, as he withdrew.

Soon, the news that Pure Yang Shangren had comprehended the Universal Heavenly Scroll and mastered Great Void Teleportation spread throughout the entire Immortal Sect. After all, applying for positioning authority required going through several departmental procedures, and there were bound to be some who couldn't keep quiet. Moreover, Chen Mobai had no intention of concealing it, so with the tacit approval of the Wuqi lineage, the news quickly became widely known.

People were saying: "Potential for God Transformation" was no longer enough; it was "Potential for Immortality"! Having mastered Great Void Teleportation at the Nascent Soul stage, the people of the Immortal Sect believed that Chen Mobai had already fulfilled his "potential for God Transformation." This title was now insufficient to fully describe his talent. Consequently, the term "potential for immortality," which was previously only used by a small fraction of loyal fans and anti-fans, gained widespread acceptance.

This widely circulated news naturally reached those around Chen Mobai. Many sent messages congratulating him. Chen Mobai selectively replied to Shi Wanyu and others, then continued his seclusion to comprehend the Heavenly Scrolls. Chen Mobai felt that his talent was highly compatible with the Dao Law and Universal Heavenly Scrolls, suggesting he might be able to comprehend even more from them.

As days passed, although he still couldn't decipher more patterns, his understanding of the ones he had already grasped deepened. Gradually, he also understood why he was able to comprehend these two Heavenly Scrolls.

The Universal Heavenly Scroll, without a doubt, was comprehensible because he had frequently interacted with void energy in his daily life, especially after mastering the Sound of the Empty Valley, which allowed him to directly listen to the void of heaven and earth, and then use the "Drinking Rite" to refine pure void energy into his domain over a long period—abilities unique to a Void Spirit Physique. Great Void Teleportation was a long-distance teleportation technique, almost identical in principle to the large-scale teleportation arrays established in the Eastern Barrens. Chen Mobai frequently traveled between realms, so he was accustomed to such things, and thus grasped the corresponding content in the Universal Heavenly Scroll instantly. The Void Decoy technique, however, truly showcased his talent and comprehension. It made Chen Mobai suspect for the first time that he might be a genius in the way of the void.

As for the Dao Law Heavenly Scroll, it went without saying that its comprehension was entirely due to the Crown of Heaven and Earth's Myriad Beings. Only with this Heavenly Scroll could his introspection be effective. Clearly, unifying the mortals in the Eastern Barrens, establishing new policies, and setting rules allowed him to cross the threshold for reading this Heavenly Scroll. As for whether he could put the knowledge gained from the Dao Law Heavenly Scroll into practice in the future, that would depend on Chen Mobai's achievements in building the small Immortal Sect in the Eastern Barrens. Chen Mobai was very confident about this.

That day, Yu Yi Shangren hurried over and informed him that Grand Ancestor Qianxing had finally finished his current game and emerged from seclusion.

"The Grand Ancestor wants us to go to Gathering Immortal Peak together." Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. Why was Yu Yi Shangren also going? However, since it was the Grand Ancestor's instruction, he could only nod in agreement.

"How will Yu Yi Shangren get there?" Chen Mobai asked.

"I have a dedicated flight, you want to come..." Yu Yi Shangren had only said half her sentence when she suddenly remembered that the person in front of her had already mastered Great Void Teleportation, and she involuntarily stopped speaking.

"Then I'll go ahead first, so the Grand Ancestor doesn't have to wait too long," Chen Mobai said. After saying this, Chen Mobai used the authority he had just acquired to pinpoint the entrance of the property management office at Five Peaks Immortal Mountain in Wangwu Grotto-Heaven. After the positioning was complete, he stood up and bowed to Yu Yi Shangren, thanking her for her care during this period, and then transformed into a silver light, vanishing from the Heavenly Scroll Academy.
