Chapter 1118 - 1118 615 The Person Behind the Immortal

Chapter 1118: Chapter 615: The Person Behind the Immortal Sprout Cultivation Plan_2 Chapter 1118: Chapter 615: The Person Behind the Immortal Sprout Cultivation Plan_2 “Did it fail?”

Chen Mobai asked, seeing that there were traces of an attempt at leveling up, but since the Biyu Wutong was still a Fourth Grade Superior, it likely meant that it hadn’t succeeded.

“This is what’s odd about Peach Blossom Sage. Logically speaking, for a Spirit Plant to level up, especially from Rank-4 to Rank-5, it needs such a vast amount of nature’s spiritual energy that even draining several Nascent Soul Superiors wouldn’t suffice. At the very least, a Fifth Grade Spirit Vein would be required.”

“And if the leveling up of a Spirit Plant fails, the backlash from insufficient spiritual energy would severely damage its vital energy. However, that Biyu Wutong doesn’t show any signs of such damage.”

“Therefore, Peach Blossom Sage speculated that the Flower Bloom Courtyard must have some ancient secret techniques that allow a Spirit Plant to simulate the process of leveling up. But why would this master of the Evil Path hide in Red Sandstone City for so many years after disintegrating and reincarnating, helping the Biyu Wutong level up? This is the key issue that our Sky-Mending Group will investigate next.”

Having relayed half of the contents from the archives, Chen Mobai finally picked up the scattered papers on the table and slowly began to read them.

He soon came across the other half that hadn’t been discussed yet.

These were the conclusions drawn by Elder Yuanxu after examining the corpse of Master Huakai.

“She disintegrated!?”

As Chen Mobai came to this conclusion, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked up at Lan Haitian.

“Although she did a lot to conceal her condition at the time of her death, making the Three Extremes Sage believe she was completely dead, Elder Yuanxu discovered through methods beyond medicine that Master Huakai’s life fire had not extinguished and was still burning in this world.”

Lan Haitian said this with a sense of helplessness.

After Chen Mobai had slain Master Huakai with the Purple Electric Sword, he had secretly followed up with a strike from the Liu Yu Scripture for peace of mind.

Little did he know that this giant of the Evil Path had already disintegrated and escaped.

“Doesn’t that mean I’m in great danger?”

Chen Mobai frowned, feeling a sudden urgency in his heart.

After all, Master Huakai was a giant of the Evil Path with the Nascent Soul Nature, a whole major realm higher than him.

“There’s no need to worry about that. After she disintegrated, it will take her at least a hundred years to return to her peak. Besides, we will be more careful in monitoring cultivators within the Immortal Gate who are preparing for Core Formation, and now that we are on guard, she won’t be able to escape the nets of the Immortal Gate’s Heavenly Curtain!”

Lan Haitian said this with full confidence.

“What if she forms her core outside of Di Yuan Star?”

Chen Mobai, however, considered another possibility, knowing that the Ascension Sect could take someone away from the Immortal Gate if they wanted to.

Yang Jing and Kong Feichen were prime examples.

“We’d have no way of dealing with that. However, the internal strife within the Ascension Sect is also very intense. If Master Huakai truly hasn’t returned to her peak when she goes back, it’s likely that her enemies will strike her before we do.”

Lan Haitian said this with a smile, revealing that as a group specialized in dealing with the Ascension Sect, they certainly had infiltrated the Heretical Cult.

Those giants of the Evil Path were all ruthless.

Especially the Hall Master of the Shrine of Life and Death and Shenyu Xuanzhu (Divine Control Pavilion Master), the former with a penchant for playing with corpses and the latter who likes to devour Divine Sense.

Lan Haitian even suspected that Master Huakai, in her Shi Qing reincarnation, had been hesitant to leave Di Yuan Star after forming her core, possibly because she feared returning to the Ascension Sect.

“But the safest option is for me to succeed in ‘Nascent Soul Formation’ within a hundred years, so even if Master Huakai truly returns to her peak, I’ll be able to slay her once more!”

After hearing this, Chen Mobai replied confidently in a manner befitting his reputation within the Immortal Gate.

“After this batch of Infant-Feeding Elixirs, it’s uncertain whether the Immortal Gate will be able to gather enough materials for the next batch of Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine within a hundred years.”

Lan Haitian played the role of a realist.

“Isn’t it said that in a hundred years, the Immortal Gate will border with a Different World? The Immortal Gate could secure a large number of resources from that. Moreover, I feel that even without the Immortal Gate’s Three Spirit Medicines, I could still succeed in forming my nascent soul!”

The certainty and confidence in Chen Mobai’s words left Lan Haitian at a loss for how to respond.

He wouldn’t dare to be so presumptuous himself and would definitely wait for the Three Spirit Medicines before attempting ‘Nascent Soul Formation’.

“This is the Immortal Gate’s investigation report on the event in Red Sandstone City over the past decade. Since you’re involved, I came by to fill you in as well.”

Having said all this, Lan Haitian prepared to leave.

Of course, he left the archive materials on the table, not taking them with him.

They were meant for Chen Mobai anyway.

With a click, the door to the VIP room opened. Lan Haitian was about to step out when he seemed to remember something and turned back to Chen Mobai.

“Oh, right, now that Red Sandstone City is without Golden Core Masters in residence, if you wish to return to your hometown, you can make arrangements through Wang Shuye.”

“Isn’t Peach Blossom Sage researching the Biyu Wutong?”

Chen Mobai was certainly tempted by the prospect of a triumphant return, but he still considered the biggest obstacle.

If he was to spend a long time under the watchful eyes of Nascent Soul Superiors, he would be better off staying in Yu Wood City!

“This year, the Immortal Gate’s group of experts has already thoroughly studied the Biyu Wutong, and now only a small study group from Jumang Academy remains there to observe any subsequent changes. As for Peach Blossom Sage, he has not been in Red Sandstone City for the past five years already.”
