Chapter 1623: Chapter 807
After cremating and burying Wang Jianyuan and Chen Yulan, Shi Wanyu and her daughter comforted the grieving Wang Xinying in front of the graves.
Meanwhile, Chen Mobai and his uncle Chen Baolan stood together after paying their respects with incense, discussing quietly.
“Uncle, what are your plans for the future?”
Based on his lifespan, Chen Baolan probably had no more than ten years left. However, with no attachments, he had always lived carefree and unrestrained, devoting his life to his passion for archaeology.
“I want to return to the Extreme North Grotto Heaven. In the last stretch of my life, I still want to pursue the things I enjoy.”
Chen Baolan shared his thoughts, and upon hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded in approval to show his support.
“Then, come back to Wangwu Cave Heaven with me, Uncle. I’ll arrange for someone to escort you there.”
After these words, the uncle and nephew fell silent.
Neither of them was particularly talkative by nature.
Once Wang Xinying’s cries began to subside, the two walked over to the row of adjoining graves to bid their farewells.
In the end, Chen Mobai lit an incense stick for his parents.
Over the next period, feeling that Wang Xinying’s emotions had yet to stabilize, Chen Mobai remained in Red Sandstone City for a while longer.
He tasked Shi Wanyu and her daughter with comforting Wang Xinying, while he returned to the Tianhe Realm.
Mount Tianpeng.
The moment Chen Mobai’s figure appeared, dark clouds began gathering ominously in the sky above. Amid the deafening roar, a powerful and terrifying heavenly tribulation seemed on the verge of taking form.
Chen Mobai immediately activated “One-Leaf Blindness,” concealing his aura.
The thunderous noises had just started echoing, and bolts of lightning were on the brink of descent, but soon, as if they had lost their target, they began to dim and ultimately dispersed.
At the same time, streaks of spiritual light soared upwards from the foot of the mountain to its peak.
The figure leading them, graceful and ethereal, with a peerless face, was none other than Qing Nu.
Behind her were the Five Elements Sect’s alchemists who were training and studying there.
As soon as Qing Nu approached, she immediately saw Chen Mobai standing resolutely in mid-air. Her face lit up with a radiant smile of joy.
“I was cultivating a divine skill in the Thunder method, which just achieved mastery. I was only testing its might—everyone may retreat.”
Chen Mobai smiled as he approached Qing Nu, and then addressed Zeng Woyou and the others who had followed her.
“Yes, Sect Leader!”
Within the Five Elements Sect, Chen Mobai’s words were law, and soon, everyone returned down the mountain.
“Have you formed your Nascent Soul?”
When only the two remained, Qing Nu looked at Chen Mobai with a hint of surprise and asked.
She was born into the Immortal Gate and had never cultivated techniques to spy on others’ levels of cultivation.
Furthermore, Chen Mobai had employed Rank-4 “One-Leaf Blindness,” which even a Nascent Soul cultivator of the same realm might not discern—let alone her.
“I have never failed before.”
Chen Mobai saw no need for humility before Qing Nu, and he revealed his happiness and pride without restraint.
As he spoke, he slightly loosened his suppression of his aura.
In an instant, dark clouds began gathering again in the sky above.
Qing Nu felt an overwhelming pressure surge towards her; fortunately, it vanished almost immediately, or she might not have been able to stop herself from retreating backward.
“That’s wonderful…”
After Chen Mobai reined in his aura once more, Qing Nu’s face showed genuine joy, and she threw herself into his embrace.
At the mountain peak, only the two of them remained.
After some moments of intimacy, Chen Mobai started recounting the various commotions his Nascent Soul Formation had caused within the Immortal Gate.
“In the Three Great Halls, I led the Weapon Dancing and Jumang Lineages to triumph over Patching Heaven. However, Leading Star Ancestor always acts with propriety…”
Qing Nu, nestled in his arms, listened attentively.
Though she could no longer return to the Immortal Gate, it was the place where she had grown up, and she was deeply fascinated by Chen Mobai’s experiences there.
“I only regret not meeting Ancestor Baiguang. If I had, she would surely have been delighted over the Nascent Soul Formation of a Genius of the Weapon Lineage like me. She might even have bestowed upon me some powerful legal treasures or sword techniques.”
Chen Mobai’s sole regret was this. Although he had met Leading Star Ancestor, she was ultimately not aligned with his lineage, creating an innate divide.
“Ancestor Baiguang is said to be the greatest Sword Dao genius in the history of the Immortal Gate. Your talent in the Sword Dao is also extraordinary—if she were to guide you, your Sword Dao Realm would undoubtedly ascend to new heights.”
Qing Nu shared his sentiment, but Chen Mobai, hearing her words, gave an awkward smile and quickly changed the topic.
“Let’s not rush to spread word of my Nascent Soul Formation. I want to see if I can use this opportunity to remove a thorn in my heart.”
These words, as expected, caught Qing Nu’s attention, and she immediately asked what he meant.
“The Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace of the East Barbarians harbors enmity as deep as the ocean with my Five Elements Sect. Previously, because I had not formed my Nascent Soul, I could only endure it. Now, it’s time for revenge.”
The feud between the Five Elements Sect and Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace had long reached the point of no return.
After all, within the Eastern Wilderness, Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace had lost four Golden Core cultivators consecutively, including Xuan Shu, the Taoist Child, who had been their sole hope for Nascent Soul. Even he had fallen under Chen Mobai’s blade.
If not for Kong Sang Valley’s Ku Zhu suddenly forming his Nascent Soul and returning with vengeful determination to confront Golden Wind Ancestor, it was likely that Golden Wind Ancestor would have already led the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace’s army to invade the Eastern Wilderness.
“Are you planning to ally with Kong Sang Valley?”
Though Qing Nu had spent years away, she was well aware of the situation in the East Barbarians. She knew that Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and Sun Bathing Sea were jointly attacking Kong Sang Valley. Meanwhile, traces of Sun Bathing Sea’s interference were evident in the Five Elements Sect’s earlier split, which led her to infer that Chen Mobai, upon forming his Nascent Soul, would lead Zhou Shengqing and the Five Elements Sect’s armies to settle both scores.
