Chapter 1597: Chapter 800: Turning the Hand Over is Like Changing the Weather_Part 3
âI wonât say anything unnecessary. For this meeting, I will stamp approval for the two people who have just advanced from your lineage, but next time, Ling Daoshiâs name must also be on the list.â
Ying Guanghua had dealt with Chen Mobai before and knew him to be a confident and proud person, so he didnât exchange pleasantries and directly stated the terms of the exchange.
âRegarding this matter, we should wait until the next meeting to have a public vote.â
Chen Mobai, however, smiled slightly, politely refusing.
âAfter forming a Nascent Soul, one must pay respects to the Divinity Transformation Ancestor. I wonder when Commissioner Chen plans to visit the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains?â
Ying Guanghua asked this question with an unchanged expression.
Chen Mobai frowned slightly upon hearing this.
The Immortal Sectâs two Divinity Transforms, the Weapon Dancing Sectâs Ancestor Baiguang had not appeared for a long time, but the Leading Star Ancestor of the Heaven-Repairing Lineage was very active, and the new Nascent Souls all met him.
According to Master Chengxuan, Ancestor Baiguang seemed to be in secluded meditation, pursuing a higher realm of the Sword Dao, exploring beyond the material world, and it was uncertain when he would emerge.
In other words, the Divinity Transformation that Chen Mobai would meet this time should also be the Leading Star Ancestor.
Offending the Heaven-Repairing Lineage among the Three Great Halls like this, if Chen Mobai goes to see the Leading Star Ancestor, he might not be well-received.
âSince it was you who initiated this matter, just letting it pass like this would not be easy for me to explain to those below.â
By saying this, Chen Mobai implied that he was willing to make a deal.
âI heard that you are cultivating the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram, and that Biyu Wutong from Danxia Mountain is very helpful for practicing this method. When you visit the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, you might mention this to the ancestor. The ancestor might agree to let you transfer that Rank-4 Superior Spirit Plant into your domain.â
Ying Guanghuaâs words made Chen Mobai very tempted.
âIf the ancestor agrees, the list can indeed be altered.â
Ying Guanghua lightly nodded upon hearing this.
After all, it was their Heaven-Repairing Lineage that acted first. Now that they had failed, it was necessary to offer some compensation.
After saying this, Chen Mobai teleported away.
Once he disappeared, the smile on Ying Guanghuaâs face instantly vanished.
At night, it was still the same room.
The three Nascent Souls of the Heaven-Repairing Lineage gathered once more in the Three Great Halls.
âDo we really have to give him the Biyu Wutong? His cultivation speed is already fast; if he accelerates further, he may indeed have the potential to transform into divinityâŠâ
Gongye Zhixu, after hearing Ying Guanghuaâs story, frowned and expressed his concern.
âYouâre overthinking it. If the difficulty of forming a Nascent Soul is ten, transforming into divinity is exponentially more challenging, even hundreds of times more so. Under our pressure, he formed his Nascent Soul early, so the condensed Pure Yang True Qi is probably at the lowest level of thirty-six strands, making it extremely difficult to transform into divinity.â
Nangong Xuanyu, however, spoke confidently, being a cultivator who formed a Nascent Soul using the Pure Yang Scroll, was most clear about this.
It could even be said that forming a Nascent Soul with thirty-six strands of Pure Yang True Qi was practically self-sabotaging before the divinity threshold.
He had forty-nine strands, which still left a sliver of hope.
âMoreover, the ancestor might not agree.â
Nangong Xuanyuâs words made Gongye Zhixu frown slightly.
âIf the ancestor doesnât agree to give him the Biyu Wutong, he definitely wonât let it slide easily at the meeting.â
Ying Guanghuaâs eyes gleamed slightly as he spoke his first words that night.
âRecently, the ancestor has been playing a game, and it might not be completed until after the new year, so the audience with him will be after the meeting.â
Upon hearing this, Nangong Xuanyu smiled, and Gongye Zhixu suddenly understood.
Because the list would be announced at the end of the year, with only a month left, the third meeting would be the final evaluation.
If Chen Mobai wanted the Biyu Wutong, he would definitely have to demonstrate his sincerity before meeting the Leading Star Ancestor.
As long as Ling Daoshiâs name appeared on the list again, their goal would be achieved.
In this way, if the Leading Star Ancestor denied Chen Mobaiâs request at that time, after he returned from the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, it would already be too late.
He could only accept his bad luck.
This scheme was designed to exploit the Immortal Sect disciplesâ reverence towards the Divinity Transformation Ancestor.
Even if Chen Mobai had the Qualification of Deification, he could not escape this fate.
If he wanted the Biyu Wutong, he could only get things in order beforehand, since everyone in the Immortal Sect knew that the Leading Star Ancestor was the very sky for the Heaven-Repairing Lineage.
This stratagem of manipulation was something Ying Guanghua learned from Lin Daoming.
âIn the future, this boy should aim for the position of Deputy Hall Master in the Dharma Hall. By then, it will be you and him in direct competition.â
Gongye Zhixu said to Nangong Xuanyu. If Chen Mobai hadnât formed the Nascent Soul, Nangong Xuanyu definitely would have had the upper hand.
But now, a change was quite possible.
âThe Military Department is mostly sorted out by now, and many in the Department of Law Enforcement have also pledged their allegiance to me. Although this boy has formed a Nascent Soul, he is still ten years late. In the position of Vice Hall Master, he cannot compete with me.â
Nangong Xuanyu, however, was very confident in himself.
âLetâs take it one step at a time. If things donât work out, we can transfer you from Kaiyuan Hall to the Dharma Hall, replacing Wen Lianshan as the Director of the Enforcement Department, abandoning the encroachment on Kaiyuan Hall. You two can first team up to suppress him in the Dharma Hall.â
Ying Guanghuaâs eyes shone darkly as he spoke to Gongye Zhixu, who lightly nodded after hearing this.
As the previous Vice Hall Master of Xianwu Hall, Gongye Zhixuâs talents were among the top in the Immortal Sect, with a unique mastery in applying the rules of the sect.
