Chapter 1593: Chapter 799: Turning the Hand into Clouds (10k)_5

Now that Chen Xiaohei’s ten-year tenure at her assigned territory had long ended, Chen Mobai could transfer her position back to the Forestry Administration of Wangwu Cave Heaven to prepare for the upcoming Golden Liquid Jade Pill process.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Shi Wanyu, limp and exhausted, spoke lightly.

After reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, Chen Mobai no longer needed to worry about any gossip.

There wasn’t a media outlet in the Immortal Gate bold enough to act so recklessly.

However, moving houses would take some time, and Chen Xiaohei’s promotion from Yu Wood City to the Wangwu Cave Heaven headquarters also required formalities. Hence, Chen Mobai decided to return to Wangwu Cave Heaven ahead of her.

After all, the bigger picture over there still needed his control.

Before leaving, however, he took the time to visit his relatives in Red Sandstone City.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yulan’s health had improved considerably, likely stimulated by the news of Chen Mobai achieving Nascent Soul Formation—a rejuvenating boost that brought an unexpected clarity to her condition.

Chen Mobai had a meal with her family, but he could sense that both Chen Yulan and Wang Xinying were now much more reserved with him.

In contrast, the solitary Chen Baolan remained as she always had been.

Seeing Chen Yulan’s health improve, she expressed her intention to head back to the Extreme North Grotto Heaven to continue the archaeological excavations under Purple Cloud Palace.

In response, Chen Mobai offered some advice.

He pointed out, gently but frankly, that although Chen Yulan’s current condition seemed much better, it was clearly a last burst of energy before the end. Considering her lifespan calculation, she likely had only a few years left. Given Chen Baolan’s age, he suggested she stay in Red Sandstone City to keep her company and avoid future regrets.

Chen Baolan, thoughtful as ever, heeded his suggestion and let go of her plan to resume archaeological work.

“I’ll leave Red Sandstone City in your capable hands. Call me if anything comes up.”

Before departing, Chen Mobai entrusted family and factory matters to his cousin Wang Xinying, who nodded solemnly, assuring him she’d handle everything well.

When Chen Mobai arrived at the airport, he discovered, surprisingly, that he was the sole passenger on the flight.

In the vast flying artifact, he was alone.

“Honored one, I am the attendant for this journey. Please let me know if there’s anything you need.”

A tall and graceful flight attendant wearing a green floral cheongsam greeted Chen Mobai respectfully. He nodded and indicated his desire for a quiet space.

The journey was unbearably boring, and Chen Mobai couldn’t help but think about his friend Wen Ren Xuewei. After achieving Nascent Soul Formation, he had yet to reach out to her, so he decided to call.

“You’ve really sped ahead. I was just thinking I might be able to catch up soon.”

Wen Ren Xuewei spoke lightly, with a playful hint of complaint that brought a smile to Chen Mobai’s face.

“I’ve heard you’re at the Ninth Level of Golden Core now. Once your True Qi accumulates to perfection, you’ll be able to attempt Nascent Soul Formation. With Lasting Spring Cultivation as your protection, you shouldn’t be far behind me.”

During Chen Mobai’s efforts to cultivate Primordial True Qi, Wen Ren Xuewei had made remarkable progress, benefiting from the Great Chun Tree and breaking through to the Ninth Level of Golden Core the previous year.

Their rate of progress within the Immortal Gate was nearly comparable.

“Do you think I’m like you? True Qi doesn’t condense that easily! By the way, do you have some kind of secret technique? How did you manage to accumulate enough Pure Yang True Qi for Nascent Soul Formation right after reaching the Ninth Level of Golden Core?”

Wen Ren Xuewei found her cultivation speed impressive enough—she had nearly caught up to Chen Mobai. Yet his swift success in Nascent Soul Formation immediately after Ninth Level baffled her.

How had his Pure Yang True Qi condensed so swiftly?

“Let’s talk about this in detail when we meet. By the way, how did you cultivate Great Void Transference? I’m beginning to feel that taking flights wastes too much time. Maybe I can learn it instead.”

Chen Mobai’s words prompted Wen Ren Xuewei to fall silent for a moment.

“Without Lasting Spring Cultivation, Great Void Transference requires a Fifth Order Forged Body to withstand it.”

“I see… Looks like it’s beyond me for now.”

Chen Mobai silently shook his head upon hearing this, inwardly marveling at Qi Yuheng’s strength. After all, Qi could perform Great Void Transference—it required the Fifth Order Forged Body.

No wonder he was hailed as the Immortal Gate’s number one Nascent Soul cultivator!

“Actually, given your talents, you might be able to master Great Void Transference without Lasting Spring Cultivation or a Fifth Order Forged Body. Ultimately, it’s just a space technique. Since you’ve already mastered Void Walking during the Golden Core Realm, you might be able to learn Great Void Transference in the Nascent Soul Realm.”

Wen Ren Xuewei shared her perspective, showing more belief in Chen Mobai’s potential than even he did.

Within the Immortal Gate, many now speculated that Chen Mobai possessed a Void Spirit Body.

The two friends chatted for the entire journey.

At the Wangwu Cave Heaven airport, Hua Zijing had already arrived with a specialized vehicle ready to receive him.

“You’ve been through a lot while I was away.”

After settling into the car, Chen Mobai spoke sincerely to Hua Zijing, whom he hadn’t seen for over a decade.

“Not at all. To be in this position now—as the head group leader—it’s all thanks to your favor.”

Hua Zijing still appeared somewhat dazed. Even her usual demeanor slipped momentarily upon seeing Chen Mobai, and she struggled to adapt to the change in titles.

“Let’s go to Xianwu Hall.”

“We’re not heading to Hall of Orthodox Law first?”

Hua Zijing was puzzled. Although Chen Mobai had become a Nascent Soul cultivator, he remained under Hall of Orthodox Law in name. Even if he wasn’t returning there, going to Kaiyuan Hall would still make sense. But Xianwu Hall? He held no position there.

“I’ve instructed Ye Yune to raise objections to the Golden Liquid Jade Pill distribution list under Kaiyuan Hall’s name. The finance department should be holding a meeting soon. I’ll head over and make some adjustments to the list—adding your name.”
