Chapter 1857: Chapter 925: Foundations of the Immortal Gate (Part 3)

Chen Mobai listened with a wry smile, but he couldn’t say that he was a mediocrity in the Sword Dao.

Before leaving, he didn’t forget to help Mo Douguang enhance the Longevity Sword. During his tribulation, he discovered that this flying sword had already developed a faint spiritual nature.

This time, he refined Fifth Rank Materials into it. In the future, if there’s an opportunity, it might even be upgraded to a Fifth Rank Flying Sword!

“Senior Brothers, I feel signs of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, so I will probably enter seclusion for a long time. Within the sect, I must rely on you to hold the fort.”

Chen Mobai said to Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang. The two looked at each other in disbelief.

If they remembered correctly, it had only been twenty-two years since Chen Mobai’s Nascent Soul Formation, and now he was about to break through?

That’s too fast!

“Junior Brother is truly a prodigy, I am utterly in awe.”

Mo Douguang said sincerely. He was always a very proud person, even looking down on the Heavenly Spiritual Root’s Zhou Ye, believing he could defeat him in a one-on-one duel.

Because of this, his Sword Dao was always progressing with courage and determination.

However, only when facing Chen Mobai did Mo Douguang find himself thoroughly convinced.

“Oh, no, no. Mainly, it’s thanks to Qing Nu’s help in refining an elixir to enhance my cultivation level. Otherwise, relying solely on bitter cultivation, I would need at least another thirty to forty years.”

Chen Mobai spoke truthfully. Without the Pure Yang Condensation Pill, he would need at least another ten years to break through to the third layer of the Nascent Soul.

He still had six unused pills. After purifying Pure Yang True Qi with the Flame Lighting Technique, he could continue taking them.

According to his estimate, fully taking them would surely elevate him to the peak of the Nascent Soul’s third level. Whether he can break through to the fourth layer depends on fate.

However, if he is stuck due to a bottleneck, Chen Mobai has already considered a certain barrier-breaking elixir. When the time comes, he would collect materials and have Qing Nu refine it.

In short, he aims to elevate his cultivation level as soon as possible.

After leaving the Golden Cliff, Chen Mobai and Qing Nu returned to the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion.

The couple spent several intimate days together before Chen Mobai reluctantly returned to the Immortal Gate.

Although Shi Wanyu refined the Appearance-fixing Pearl, maintaining her youthful appearance, she was older, with declining vital essence, unable to endure in marital affairs. Chen Mobai had compassion for her and seldom engaged in such activities over the years.

And within the Immortal Gate, after officially introducing his daughter, he pursued the virtues of a good man diligently.

He had already severed contact with Yan Bingxuan.

As for Meng Huang, he never initiated contact, and although she occasionally sent holiday greetings, Chen Mobai responded politely, but there were no lingering ties between them.

His Pure Yang Scroll cultivation made his Yuan Yang pure and vast. Occasionally, when his cultivation didn’t progress naturally, the surge of Pure Yang True Qi would arouse desires. With Shi Wanyu being unsuitable, it was mainly Qing Nu who bore this.

However, over the years, his breakthrough-induced surge in cultivation was mostly purified using the Flame Lighting Technique.

“Here are three Longevity Elixirs. Taking them should extend your lifespan by over twenty years.” Chen Mobai handed three Profound Heaven Crow Golden Pills to Shi Wanyu.

Although they had no feelings initially, their union was for the sake of their daughter, but over the years, Chen Mobai recognized Shi Wanyu as a good mother and wife.

Seeing her nearing the end of her lifespan, though her appearance remained unchanged, her constitution grew increasingly frail. Unable to bear it, he chose to risk using the elixirs from Tianhe Realm.

“Such precious items, you or our daughter should use them. In this lifetime, my only fulfillment is having both of you.”

Shi Wanyu smiled and declined.

“The imminent exploratory war will last at least ten years. As the Vice Hall Master of the Hall of Orthodox Law, an Immortal Gate Nascent Soul cultivator, I will be busy with these affairs, possibly wielding my sword and armor in a Different World, leaving little time for family. Your lifespan is ten years at most, and I don’t want you to pass while I’m not by your side.”

After Chen Mobai spoke, Shi Wanyu hesitated, but under his somewhat domineering gaze, she nodded and took one of the pills.

“I might not return home often from now on, so I’ll leave our daughter in your care.”

Chen Mobai personally infused Pure Yang Spiritual Power and used the Flame Lighting Technique to help Shi Wanyu refine the elixir. Since the elixir had Dan Poison, it required a usage of the Flame Lighting Technique over time to neutralize its effects. Taking the second pill later would be more effective.

“Mm, I’ll take good care of our daughter and the home.”

After refining the elixir, Shi Wanyu’s previously somewhat lifeless eyes brightened slightly.

She watched Chen Mobai’s departing figure with eyes full of sweetness.

…

“Master, this is the hall master’s military budget…”

Within the Hall of Orthodox Law, Chen Mobai immediately delved into his busy work as Hua Zijing hurried in, handing him a report.

“That’s too much. If sent to Xianwu Hall, they definitely won’t approve.”

Chen Mobai glanced at it and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

With one month left, the restrictions set by him and Ancestor Qian Xing at the Portal won’t withstand the impact of forces between two worlds, resulting in an opening. Therefore, the military department of the Hall of Orthodox Law, piloting the Star Space Battleship, under the leadership of Narcissus, was heading toward the Vast Starry Sky.
