Chapter 1591: Chapter 799: Turning the Hand into Clouds (10k)_3

Even Yuanyang Ancestor had paused for a considerable time before reaching the threshold of Nascent Soul Formation. For Chen Mobai to achieve it at the age of eighty-nine was already an unprecedented accomplishment throughout the ages.

So, when Chen Xiaohei said this, he clung to Chen Mobai’s arm with a face full of pride.

“Actually, I relied on some external aids, and I’m not sure whether you’ll be able to use them in the future.”

As Chen Mobai spoke, he reached out and took out the Stat Fire.

After his Nascent Soul Formation, he would need to visit the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains to pay respects to the Huashen Ancestor. He would certainly have to provide a reasonable explanation for achieving the Nascent Soul so quickly, and the Stat Fire was the most suitable excuse.

After all, in the history of the Immortal Gate, there were precedents for this, and there were even examples from Nascent Soul Superiors Qing Jing and Qing Shi.

Aside from the Stat Fire, the other aids he used—be it the Infant-Feeding Elixir or Primordial True Qi—could not be mentioned.

And as for Yan Bingxuan’s Yuan Yin True Coldness, it was best not to reveal it if he could avoid it.

Beyond all that, his success in forming the Nascent Soul was primarily due to his innate talent.

After all, with the qualification of deification, wasn’t achieving the Nascent Soul with ease just natural?

The question was whether, during this visit to the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, he might be able to meet the greatest pillar of support for the Weapon Dancing Sect—Ancestor Baiguang.

As Chen Mobai thought about this, Shi Wanyu walked over, her face full of excitement.

“Congratulations. How could someone as ordinary as me have the fortune to marry a Nascent Soul Superior as a husband?”

Hearing Shi Wanyu’s words, Chen Mobai recalled all the moments the two had shared along the way. Although they came together primarily because of their daughter, over the years, they had treated each other with the respect of honored guests, and feelings had naturally grown between them.

It was only a pity that Shi Wanyu lacked confidence in herself and had refused Chen Mobai’s offer of the Foundation Establishment Trithings.

She believed that with her talent, she would surely fail. It would then damage her lifespan, and so she preferred to cherish the time she had now, accompanying her husband and daughter.

“Why speak of such things? We are family.”

Chen Mobai comforted Shi Wanyu, who seemed even more nervous after her initial excitement. She undoubtedly felt unworthy of him once again.

While the family was enjoying their time together, phone calls and text messages started pouring in.

All were to congratulate him on achieving the Nascent Soul.

“I’ll handle some official matters for a moment.”

Chen Mobai gestured at his phone, where a call from Wang Xinfu was incoming. Shi Wanyu and their daughter nodded immediately and went to prepare dinner.

Walking into the courtyard, Chen Mobai engaged in a half-hour conversation with Wang Xinfu.

He learned about the recent meeting regarding the allocation of the Golden Liquid Jade Pills in the financial department.

“Two members of our Daoist Academy were ousted?”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai’s eyes flashed coldly. In the past, patience had been necessary, but now that he had achieved the Nascent Soul, it was time to show his fangs.

“Lan Haitian promised compensation in the next distribution of Golden Liquid Jade Pills. This time, due to Nangong Xuanyu’s involvement, adjustments were unavoidable,” Wang Xinfu explained.

At this, Chen Mobai replied with words that stunned Wang Xinfu.

“If it’s an issue of this time, then it should be resolved this time. Go and tell Lan Haitian: I want him to honor his word.”

“But the list has already been finalized.”

To this, Chen Mobai replied in a calm tone, “As long as the list hasn’t been announced, it can still be changed.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Xinfu first fell silent, then his voice became excited. “Understood, Superior. I will make arrangements immediately.”

Though the allocation meeting had determined the ownership of all ten Golden Liquid Jade Pills among the influential figures of the Three Great Halls, according to the Immortal Gate’s rules, the list wouldn’t be officially announced until the year-end—celebrating the occasion with a festive spirit in solidarity with the people.

Speculating who made the list had always been a source of fun for the Immortal Gate’s populace.

In theory, the final list decided in such meetings was seldom changed.

However, in the Immortal Gate’s thousands of years of history, there had been rare cases of adjustments to the selected individuals.

Sometimes it was due to a scandal involving someone on the list before it was announced. Other times it was because higher-ups changed their minds and reshuffled the list after engaging in some form of interest exchange to promote their own people.

What Chen Mobai intended to do now was precisely this.

He wanted to overturn the list already finalized by the upper ranks of the Three Great Halls!

Previously, this would have been impossible.

But now, having achieved the Nascent Soul, it was within reach.

Yet relying solely on the Weapon Dancing Sect wouldn’t suffice.

After finishing his call with Wang Xinfu, Chen Mobai immediately dialed Pei Qingshuang, the current leader of the Jumang Lineage. The latter promptly congratulated him on his Nascent Soul breakthrough.

“I have you to thank for helping me reach the Nascent Soul,” Chen Mobai said sincerely.

Pei Qingshuang was initially puzzled by his words but quickly figured it out, her expression shifting to a look of realization.

“You condensed the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, didn’t you? No wonder you dared to attempt this major breakthrough without any Infant Forming Spirit Medicine.”

Hearing Pei Qingshuang’s remark, Chen Mobai didn’t elaborate further. After all, the matter of the Stat Fire still depended on the stance of the two Huashen Ancestors.

Back when Qing Shi and Qing Jing had also condensed it, the term “Stat Fire” disappeared from the history of the Immortal Gate after their passing in meditation.

Perhaps the upper echelon was deliberately concealing the existence of the Stat Fire to control the number of Nascent Soul cultivators.

He decided to wait until after meeting the Huashen Ancestors. If there was no issue, only then would he disclose the Stat Fire to Pei Qingshuang.

After all, his ability to condense it was inseparable from the Green Frost Sword Technique.

Pei Qingshuang’s decision to lend him the Qing Shuang Sword was an undeniable favor to Chen Mobai, who resolved to repay her aid in kind by assisting her when she sought her own Nascent Soul Formation in the future.
