Chapter 1461: Chapter 766: Golden Core Eighth Layer_4

The intelligence from the Sky Meal Building was indeed formidable. With just one question, Chen Mobai learned the specific reason.

However, after hearing this, his attention was caught by the first sentence from Shen Shanqing.

“Sun Huangji and Sun Huanglong lead the Sun family’s experts back to their ancestral lands? Could it be that Sun Huangji wishes to undergo Nascent Soul Formation?”

Chen Mobai muttered to himself.

Sun Huangji, known as the number one expert in Dongwu, was also a disciple of a major East Land sect. He reached Perfect Core Formation nearly a hundred years ago, and his reputation was even greater than that of Xuan Shu, the Daoist Child of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.

Considering the time, he would soon pass his physical peak. If he delayed Nascent Soul Formation, it would only become more difficult.

“This is Sect Master Chen’s guess, not mine.”

When Shen Shanqing left, he specifically emphasized this point, which practically verified Chen Mobai’s speculation.

For any power, when a Golden Core Cultivator undergoes Nascent Soul Formation, it is a major event. They would surely guard against it meticulously and prevent precise information from leaking, to avoid enemies exploiting the opportunity.

If the Sun family knew that Shen Shanqing revealed this information, they would definitely be displeased, which could consequently affect the business of the Sky Meal Building in Dongwu.

“Chef Shen, please take your time leaving!”

After learning about this information, Chen Mobai immediately called Liu Wenbo back and rewrote a letter to Nu Jiang, informing him of this possibility. However, he did not let him go to Dongwu to investigate further. Instead, he asked him to feign ignorance, and he advised that the Five Elements Sect’s cultivators restrict themselves from entering Dongwu’s territory for the time being.

Sun Huangling tried to prevent the Five Elements Sect from finding Zhang Zibo to refine a heterodox Golden Core, yet gave Chen Mobai respect. It was clear that they wanted to ensure that no power beyond their control would arise in Dongwu’s territory during Sun Huangji’s Nascent Soul Formation.

Having understood this, Chen Mobai decided to watch and wait.

If Sun Huangji succeeded in Nascent Soul Formation, there would essentially be no need to worry about the major trouble in Yun Meng Ze.

With both Zhou Shengqing and Sun Huangji, even if they couldn’t defeat the Rank-4 Poisonous Dragon, they could still reinforce the seal and keep it imprisoned within the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion without any problems.

But if Sun Huangji failed, the situation would be bittersweet for the Five Elements Sect.

The good thing would be the lack of strong neighbors. The worry, however, would be that in the future they may have to solely bear the brunt of Yun Meng Ze’s demonic beasts threat.

After sending Liu Wenbo out, Chen Mobai also took care of all the matters in Northern Abyss City.

After leaving, he called for E Yun and Yuan Chiye.

“Greetings, Sect Master!”

After the two entered, they respectfully saluted Chen Mobai.

“After Yue Zutao has left the sect, the position of Vice Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall is vacant. I intend to let Luo Xue’er return to take over the role. Her cultivation level and experience are sufficient to manage the Five Elements Meridians. However, I will make it clear to her that you will be handling the specific matters, and in the meantime, you will also replace me in exercising the Sect Leader’s duties at Giant Tree Ridge. Do you have confidence?”

Chen Mobai directly expressed his intentions to E Yun, his trusted subordinate.

“With the Sect Master’s trust, your disciple will surely live up to the expectations!”

E Yun’s voice was trembling when he said this, having waited for this moment for who knows how long.

Although he was only going back as a temporary leader,

That was still the Sect Leader!

Once Chen Mobai reached a higher level of cultivation, such as Nascent Soul Formation, he would naturally assume the position of Sect Leader.

Years of ambition finally seemed to be within reach at this moment, which made E Yun extremely excited.

“Then prepare to hand over your current affairs. After you return to Giant Tree Ridge, Yuan nephew will take over the matters in Northern Abyss City.”

Yuan Chiye, who was by the side, was slightly surprised upon hearing this, but he had expected it and thanked Chen Mobai immediately.

Since the two arrived in Northern Abyss City at the same time, Yuan Chiye was involved in all affairs, and thus in just three days, E Yun completed the handover and returned to Giant Tree Ridge with Chen Mobai.

Soon after, Luo Xue’er, who had been ordered, also returned and assumed the position of Vice Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall, continuing to accumulate contributions.

Meng Hong’s failure in Core Formation did not deter her.

Her longing for Core Formation remained just as strong.

Chen Mobai held great respect for the determination of the cultivators here.

With E Yun now in Giant Tree Ridge, Chen Mobai once again started his role as a hands-off shopkeeper.

During this period, Zhou Wangshen returned once, bringing thirty servings of Five Elements Essence. He was very content; in another two years, he’d be able to condense a complete Primordial True Qi again.

After rewarding Zhou Wangshen, Chen Mobai took the Purple Jade Spirit Rice and went into seclusion at Mount Tianpeng, which was only half a month since he last left.

After another delightful night in Qing Nu’s house, Chen Mobai handed her the Water Spirit Fruit.

“See if you can use this to refine a Water Primordial Golden Core Pill?”

Chen Mobai had once given the Alchemy Department the recipe for the Five Elements Golden Core Pill, but unfortunately, Zeng Woyou and the rest weren’t skilled enough to improve these Rank-4 alchemy recipes.

This time, with Luo Xue’er’s return, Chen Mobai remembered that if Qing Nu could refine the naturally occurring Core Formation Spirit Fruit into a Water Primordial Golden Core Pill, many could benefit.

Not just Qing Nu, but Luo Yixuan, Luo Xue’er, and possibly Yan Bingxuan or his daughter Chen Xiaohei when it’s time for their Core Formation, could all make use of it.

“This may take quite some time. After all, my cultivation level is not high enough. I can only refine Rank-3 Elixirs at most,”

Qing Nu said seriously as she dressed herself and looked at the Water Spirit Fruit Chen Mobai had taken out. She indicated that even if the alchemy recipe was adapted with Eastern Wilderness’s medicinal ingredients, she wouldn’t be able to attempt it.

“It’s a pity that I gave that Water Attribute Heterodox Golden Core to Luo Xue’er; otherwise, you could directly obtain the power of the Golden Core Realm.”

At this point, Chen Mobai somewhat regretted having yielded to the pressure from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and prematurely given the Heterodox Golden Core to Luo Xue’er.

Qing Nu would definitely succeed in forming her Core; therefore, using a Heterodox Golden Core was safe.

“It does not matter, what I get is a blessing, what I lose is fate.”

Qing Nu seemed very open-minded about this. Seeing her enchanting body once again concealed by clothes, Chen Mobai managed to restrain his impulses with difficulty.

For the next half year, Chen Mobai stayed at Mount Tianpeng, accompanying Qing Nu.

Of course, during this half-year period, he consumed a Return to True Elixir every so often.

Thanks to the Quality of Food from the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram, he didn’t have to worry about Dan Poison.

After finishing the five Return to True Elixirs, the progress on the Core Formation chapter of the Pure Yang Scroll had reached 98.7%.

If it were the old him, the remaining bit of progress might not have warranted using the last Return to True Elixir, and he would attempt to break through by refining Spiritual Energy.

But now, with Qing Nu in his arms, he no longer cared about that bit of progress.

Moreover, the materials for the second batch of Return to True Elixirs from Back to Sky Valley had already been delivered to Mount Tianpeng by Liu Wenbo a few days ago.

Adhering to the principles of the Sect of Realms, Chen Mobai took the sixth Return to True Elixir and, blessed by the Crown of Heaven and Earth, smoothly leveraged the enormous medicinal power to break through to the Golden Core Eighth Layer Realm.

For this breakthrough, he returned to Danxia Mountain.

With the support of the Rank-4 Superior Spirit Vein, Chen Mobai easily stabilized his realm.

At the same time, the signs of his breakthrough once again caused a sensation in the Immortal Gate.

75 years old, and a breakthrough to the Golden Core Seventh Layer!

The same age as the Yuanyang Ancestor when he had his breakthrough.

And if counted by days, Chen Mobai was even twenty days faster.

Undeniably the most talented person in the history of the Immortal Gate!
