Chapter 904: Polite Nascent Soul Masters

After standing up, Qi Yuheng and the other two first nodded to Chen Mobai, then all politely greeted Shi Wanyu, who was by his side.

"This must be Mrs. Chen. Indeed, she is beautiful, virtuous, elegant, and graceful.""No wonder True Lord Chunyang is so devoted...""True Lord Chunyang has such a dignified and virtuous wife; why didn't he announce it sooner?"

Chen Mobai was slightly surprised to hear such polite words from Qi Yuheng and the other two. After all, his tactic of using Ye Yun'e to draw criticism should, by rights, have caused resentment from the Kunpeng lineage, especially True Lord Beiming.

Before coming, Chen Mobai had mentally prepared himself for ridicule and sarcasm, so he was surprised that these three were so polite.

However, upon closer thought, Chen Mobai realized they might believe he had a high chance of achieving Transcendent Divinity in the future, and therefore dared not offend him too much.

By extension, they also showed respect to Shi Wanyu.

"The three True Lords flatter me..."

Shi Wanyu clearly hadn't expected Qi Yuheng and the other two Nascent Soul True Lords to be so polite. After hearing their compliments, she repeatedly waved her hands, stating that it was her honor to have married Chen Mobai and that she was unworthy of such praise.

"This must be your esteemed daughter.""As expected of the daughter of True Lord Chunyang and Mrs. Chen, she looks intelligent and clever.""When she went to study in the sea domain back then, I already felt that your esteemed daughter was extraordinary and very suitable for cultivating the Six Imperial Scriptures..."

After greeting Shi Wanyu, Qi Yuheng and the other two also politely greeted Chen Xiaohei, who was beside them.

Chen Xiaohei's personality was much more outgoing than Shi Wanyu, the housewife. She responded to each of the three Nascent Soul True Lords' greetings with appropriate demeanor and composed words.

This prompted even more praise from Qi Yuheng and the other two, who declared that True Lord Chunyang and Mrs. Chen had worthy successors.

"Not at all, my little girl's personality is still a bit mischievous. If there's an opportunity in the future, she'll still need much guidance from the three of you."

Chen Mobai spoke with a smile, very pleased with the respectful way Qi Yuheng and the other two treated his wife and daughter in front of everyone.

He felt that although the Kunpeng lineage had some competition with his own Martial Artifacts lineage within the Three Great Halls, it was actually all about differing positions, and everyone's character was still quite good.

Respect is something given mutually.

Since the three Nascent Soul True Lords of the Kunpeng lineage showed such respect this time, Chen Mobai decided to cooperate more deeply with them in the future to jointly deal with the Mending Heaven lineage.

"Jialan, please take my wife and the others to the table next door. I'll have a good chat with the three True Lords."

After the greetings were over, Chen Mobai, with a smile on his face, instructed Zhuang Jialan, who was beside him.

According to the seating arrangement, the Nascent Soul True Lords would have one table, and their families would be at the tables right next to them. Zhuang Jialan, as a secretary, had already coordinated this in advance.

But just as Zhuang Jialan was about to lead Shi Wanyu and her daughter to their seats at the next table, True Lord Beiming, as the host, suddenly spoke up to stop them.

"True Lord Chunyang's family has come; there's no reason for them to be separated. Mrs. Chen and your esteemed daughter should sit here."

Chen Mobai paused, hearing this.

This was overly polite.

As the number of Nascent Soul True Lords in the Immortal Sect was just enough to fill one table, it was basically a default for them to sit together at such high-level occasions.

If Shi Wanyu and her daughter sat here, how would the other Nascent Soul family members be arranged? Besides, the number of people at the table would also exceed the limit.

"We have already felt True Lord Beiming's hospitality, but let's still have the mother and daughter sit next door; it's not far anyway..."

Chen Mobai said that he had previously held some opinions about True Lord Beiming, but now, upon reflection, he thought it was probably due to differing stances back then that caused those misunderstandings, and the person himself was quite warm.

Chen Mobai politely declined according to etiquette, but to his surprise, True Lord Beiming directly invited them again, even personally coming over to pull out a chair.

"True Lord Chunyang, there's no need to be polite. I'll arrange for the Mending Heaven lineage members to sit at another table."

Hearing this, Chen Mobai found it difficult to refuse again.

"In that case... we'll follow the host's arrangements!"

Chen Mobai thought that the Kunpeng lineage wanted to use this opportunity to embarrass the Mending Heaven lineage, so he nodded in agreement.

He gestured to Shi Wanyu, who had been maintaining a smiling face beside him, and, holding her somewhat stiff hand, sat down.

"Dad has so much influence!" Chen Xiaohei felt very proud as she sat down with them.

Zhuang Jialan quietly took her seat at the table next to them.

This scene left many of the already present guests with shocked expressions.

Many of these were officials from the Three Great Halls, who were most careful about seating etiquette and understood very clearly what this implied.

It seemed that the three Nascent Soul True Lords of the Kunpeng lineage also believed that True Lord Chunyang would be the Immortal Sect's third sage in the future!

Only a future Transcendent Divinity could elicit such enthusiasm from Qi Yuheng and the other two.

It was at this very moment that many people suddenly realized the Martial Artifacts lineage might, in the near future, surpass the Mending Heaven lineage to officially become the largest faction in the Immortal Sect.

After Chen Mobai took his seat, he calmly began conversing with Qi Yuheng and the other two.

The topics discussed among Nascent Soul cultivators were naturally high-level ones.

Apart from the frontier wars, they discussed at least five-tier spells or advanced immortal cultivation arts.

For the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Immortal Sect, who had emerged from intense competition, they could learn four-tier level things with their eyes closed.

Only five-tier attainments presented a challenge.

"I heard earlier that True Lord Chunyang is studying five-tier formations. I originally wanted to develop significantly in this field, but with Daoist Yunhai already ahead, no matter how hard I worked, at most I could only catch up to him, so I gave up after forming my Nascent Soul."

As he spoke, True Lord Beiming brought up the topic of formations.

In his youth, he was also a famous formation genius in the Immortal Sect. However, after forming his Nascent Soul, and with True Lord Yunhai already being a five-tier formation master, he felt that dedicating himself further to this field would be a waste of his talents, so he abandoned the pursuit of formations.

Currently, True Lord Beiming is an aquatic products expert in the Immortal Sect's sea domain and the Immortal Sect's only five-tier beast tamer.

"I heard that True Lord Beiming can borrow the Spirit Venerable's Beiming Domain. When going all out, no Nascent Soul cultivator in the Immortal Sect is your match..."

Chen Mobai also said something slightly complimentary, as among all the domains of the Immortal Sect, the Spirit Venerable's Beiming Domain is universally recognized as the strongest in the world.

Once fully unleashed, it can even engulf and cover the entire Di Yuan Star.

It was for this reason that True Lord Beiming took this as his Daoist title and was previously recognized as the strongest Nascent Soul in the Four Great Daoist Academies.

"Not at all, these are all external powers, not from my own cultivation; they're not worth mentioning."

However, True Lord Beiming was very modest, which greatly surprised the Golden Core cultivators of the Kunpeng lineage at the neighboring tables, as they knew very well that their Headmaster had always been proud of this.

They thought, "Perhaps True Lord Chengxuan has reached half-step Transcendent Divinity, and True Lord Chunyang's talent is extraordinary, so the Headmaster can no longer be proud."

The Golden Core cultivators of the Kunpeng lineage thought this to themselves.

"True Lord Chunyang's attainments in formations are already no less than mine; only practical experience is somewhat lacking. Perhaps the Immortal Sect will soon have a second five-tier formation master."

At this moment, True Lord Yunhai also spoke. As he spoke, he glanced at Shi Wanyu, who was sitting upright beside Chen Mobai, utterly amazed that these two could end up together.

When the Violet Lightning Sword chose its master back then, Hao Cao discovered the reincarnation of Old Ancestor Baiguang.

Because part of the Violet Lightning Sword's ownership belonged to the Natural Studies Academy, he was notified. After personally examining the white stone with fourteen sword qi trails, he confirmed Hao Cao's judgment.

This matter was then reported all the way up to Five Peaks Immortal Mountain. After Old Ancestor Qianxing finished playing a game, he issued an instruction:

"Pretend not to know, and don't pay attention to her."

In the Immortal Sect, the command of a Transcendent Divinity Old Ancestor is absolute.

So although they were very curious about the situation of Old Ancestor Baiguang's reincarnation, after Old Ancestor Qianxing's command, they could only force themselves to forget about it.

Although True Lord Yunhai dared not pay attention to Old Ancestor Baiguang's reincarnation, Chen Mobai's announcement that he had a wife and daughter certainly made him very curious.

At that time, he was already at Huayang Cave Heaven, with True Lord Beiming and Qi Yuheng.

After the three of them learned about this matter, Qi Yuheng immediately made a phone call, and someone promptly brought over Chen Mobai's most recently updated household registration information.

At that time, True Lord Beiming was furious, believing Chen Mobai's use of his daughter to draw criticism was truly despicable. He had even taken out his phone, intending to direct the Kunpeng lineage's media to attack Chen Mobai for having a child out of wedlock and spread rumors that he had abandoned his family, all to relieve pressure on his daughter and son-in-law.

True Lord Beiming's call was stopped by True Lord Yunhai before he could dial it.

This was because True Lord Yunhai saw Shi Wanyu's ID photo in Chen Mobai's household registration book. Although decades had passed and she had transformed from a young girl into a mature woman, her facial features remained the same.

It was the reincarnation of Old Ancestor Baiguang, whose identity was revealed during the former Shanhai Academy's open selection.

After True Lord Yunhai finished speaking about this matter, Qi Yuheng and True Lord Beiming, two Nascent Soul cultivators who considered themselves well-versed in grand affairs, were instantly thrown into disarray.

They had never imagined that when it came to "an old ox eating tender grass" (an older person marrying a much younger one), there was someone even more formidable than Ye Yun'e.

After learning this, Qi Yuheng and True Lord Beiming immediately made phone calls, notifying all media outlets of the Kunpeng lineage, big and small, to prohibit them from commenting on this matter.

And it wasn't just them; even the Mending Heaven lineage, which had always been at odds with the Martial Artifacts lineage, surprisingly also ordered its own media to remain silent on this matter.

True Lord Yunhai knew the reason.

Because when the Violet Lightning Sword chose its master back then, besides him, True Lord Chengxuan and Ying Guanghua, the Hall Master of the Hall of Righteous Law, also knew about this matter.

True Lord Chengxuan wanted to manipulate things behind the scenes to help Chen Mobai obtain the Violet Lightning Sword, and since Old Ancestor Baiguang originated from the Martial Artifacts lineage, Hao Cao's first notification went to him.

And notifying Ying Guanghua, who was the Hall Master of the Hall of Righteous Law at that time, was because a portion of the Violet Lightning Sword's ownership was also in the Hall of Righteous Law's hands, and he needed to report it to Old Ancestor Qianxing.

Although, due to Old Ancestor Qianxing's instructions, they dared not investigate Old Ancestor Baiguang's reincarnation, for such a major event as Chen Mobai's marriage, Ying Guanghua would surely do the same as them and at least check the marriage certificate or household registration book.

Upon seeing this, True Lord Yunhai estimated that Ying Guanghua was also startled.

But this was still good. If they truly incited the media to condemn True Lord Chunyang for having a daughter, when Old Ancestor Baiguang awoke from her seclusion in the future, her first sword strike would probably land above the Hall of Immortal Affairs.

"Recently, I've had some insights into the Way of Talismans, which delayed me a bit. After Vice Hall Master Ye's wedding, I will apply to Old Ancestor Qianxing for the five-tier formation master assessment."

Facing True Lord Yunhai's praise, Chen Mobai spoke with a humble expression. In fact, it was mainly because he wasn't confident about the final major question: the five-tier formation.

Although he could still pass the five-tier formation master assessment even if he left the last question blank, this would damage his reputation as a genius in the Immortal Sect.

Unconsciously, Chen Mobai had also developed a bit of concern for his public image.

Fortunately, this problem was resolved in Hunyuan Immortal City.

The five-tier Profound Mystery Five-Element Formation Diagram left by Old Ancestor Hunyuan was certainly not available in the Immortal Sect. Chen Mobai only needed to adapt it with his own understanding to make it appear as his own original insight.

Compared to True Lord Yunhai, his (knowledge) was actually set up and verified at the One-Yuan Dao Palace in the Heavenly River Realm. As long as Old Ancestor Qianxing's level was sufficient, his score might even be higher.

"True Lord Chunyang is indeed the most talented person in the Immortal Sect's history. Not only is his cultivation speed unrivaled, but even in the hundreds of immortal cultivation arts, he is no less than Old Ancestor Qianxing."

After True Lord Beiming heard this, he glanced at Shi Wanyu, and couldn
