Chapter 1718: Chapter 882: Thoroughly Reading Tian Shu
After comprehending the Taoist Laws Sure-book, Chen Mobai sat quietly for a while, pondering how to cultivate rules in the Eastern Wilderness.
The rules of the Immortal Gate have always been kept by the Huashen Zhenjun. If Chen Mobai wanted the Taoist Seed, he could only seek out the Leading Star Ancestor at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.
But given his cautious nature, he definitely wouldnât do that.
After all, within the Immortal Gate, he is reputed to have the Qualification of Deification, and even Daoist Yu Yi feels that refining rules is a waste of talent for him.
Moreover, he is currently only at the basic Nascent Soul level. Refining rules is a path only taken by those in the Immortal Gate who have been stuck at the Nascent Soul Realm bottleneck for hundreds of years and have no further progress.
According to the Immortal Gateâs procedure, Chen Mobai should at least wait until he becomes one of the Three Hall Masters before formally proposing this matter to the Leading Star Ancestor.
For now, focus on nurturing a humane civilization in the Eastern Wilderness. After all, even if he obtains the Taoist Seed, without sufficient cultivation, he still cannot refine the rules.
After clarifying his thoughts, Chen Mobai set down the Taoist Laws Sure-book in his hands.
Not long after, Daoist Yu Yi, who heard the news, arrived. She asked curiously, âElder Chunyang, have you comprehended it so quickly?â
After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded slightly, feeling somewhat achieved: âPerhaps itâs because my love for the Immortal Gate, wholeheartedly serving the people, prioritizing the protection of peopleâs safety and upholding social justice, selflessly devoting myself, aligns perfectly with this Taoist Laws Sure-book, so I quickly grasped it.â
Yu Yiâs delicate pupils widened directly after hearing these words; she didnât believe such a person existed in the world. But Chen Mobai claiming to have comprehended the Taoist Laws Sure-book made her disbelief shaken.
âYou, comprehended it!?â
Chen Mobai modestly nodded. Unfortunately, the comprehension of the Taoist Laws Sure-book did not enhance his cultivation realm, and he couldnât demonstrate this to Daoist Yu Yi.
âI need to report this matter to the Leading Star Ancestor. He once said that if someone comprehends the Taoist Laws Sure-book, they must be extremely aligned with the rules and very likely to refine the Fruit of Daoâs Rule.â
With these words, Yu Yi spoke, and Chen Mobai instantly became worried.
Having a habit of showcasing his talents in the Immortal Gate, this time he seemed to have excelled a bit too much.
However, since it was the Leading Star Ancestorâs command, he couldnât stop it.
âActually, this is a minor matter. Iâve just formed a Nascent Soul for a few years now, so even if I were to refine the rules, itâs still quite prematureâŠâ
Chen Mobai expressed his thoughts tactfully, but Daoist Yu Yi had already taken out her phone and sent a text message.
âThe ancestor should be playing a game now. He will probably return the call after he finishes.â
Daoist Yu Yi dared not rashly call the Leading Star Ancestor, so she described the matter using text. Seeing this, Chen Mobai said nothing more.
He was already contemplating excuses for when he would meet face-to-face with the Leading Star Ancestor.
âHowever, the Leading Star Ancestor probably already knows how well you align with the rules; otherwise, he wouldnât have specifically let you view this Taoist Laws Sure-book.â
While waiting for the Leading Star Ancestorâs response, Daoist Yu Yi spoke, referring to what Chen Mobai mentioned in the Dance Tool Dao Academy, which she had believed.
âNot at all, Iâve merely comprehended some of the mysteries of the rules. By the way, can I now apply to view the other six Heavenly Books?â
After using the Guidance Book to comprehend the Taoist Laws Sure-book, Chen Mobaiâs interest in the other six Tian Shu was ignited.
Thinking that if he could also comprehend them, he might achieve the realm of Divinity Transformation directly at the Yuan Ying level.
âItâs not impossible; if you have enough points. Do you still have six hundred million points?â
Daoist Yu Yi asked after hearing him.
âI should still have over a billion.â
Chen Mobai nodded, mentioning a figure that slightly surprised Daoist Yu Yi.
Over the years, all the Good Deed Points Chen Mobai earned were used to actively buy Void Blind Boxes, each providing a hundred million points. Although plenty was spent downloading the Primordial Yang Sword Secret, itâs not a problem to view all seven Heavenly Books.
âDo you want to look at all six? Or do you want to take it slowlyâŠâ
At this point, Daoist Yu Yi advised, as browsing the heavenly books greatly depletes oneâs heart and mind, suggesting Chen Mobai could view two books annually instead of rushing.
âLetâs start first and see, who knows when the Leading Star Ancestor will finish playing.â
Chen Mobai replied, knowing in the Immortal Gate, the Nascent Soul Superior knew the Leading Star Ancestor could game for years without stopping.
Daoist Yu Yi, having reported the matter, knew they had to wait for him to summon them.
In the meantime, they needed something to occupy themselves with.
âAlright, apply first, and Iâll release the restriction on one book at a time.â
Daoist Yu Yi, hearing his words, could only nod in agreement.
The main concern was that unlocking the restrictions on the five-rank talisman cost her a lot of True Qi. She couldnât withstand unlocking all seven Tian Shuâs restrictions in a short time.
Chen Mobai applied for the reading privileges of the remaining six Heavenly Books in her presence.
Following his suggestion, Yu Yi first released the restriction on the Purple Green Book.
âElder Chunyang, you can comprehend slowly. Shout for me when you want to see the next one.â
Daoist Yu Yi spoke, trying to conceal her lack of energy; the True Qi consumed from unlocking the Taoist Laws Sure-book hadnât fully recovered, and now opening the Purple Green Book made her Nascent Soul shrink slightly.
Chen Mobai politely escorted Daoist Yu Yi down, then held the Purple Green Book and walked over to the windowsill, continuing to study it in the posture he used to comprehend the Taoist Laws Sure-book.
The Purple Green Bookâs cover featured a Tai Chi Diagram, clearly symbolizing the Two-yi Qi.
Chen Mobai nodded gently, then opened the first page, which predictably was another diagram, resembling primordial chaos.
He examined closely for a long time, then wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Why canât I understand it?
Even though he had thoroughly comprehended the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book translated by Qing Shi and Qing Jing Shangren, this original version should have been comprehensible, at least halfway.
Perhaps the first page was just too difficult.
Thinking this way, Chen Mobai entered the state of Guidance Book, but discovered even this failed to help him understand.
Thereâs no reason for this; even the Taoist Laws Sure-book was comprehended, could it be that the Purple Green Book is of an even higher level?
Chen Mobai calmed his mind, continued to flip to the second page, a diagram of purple and green swirling into a vortex.
He finally understood, this was about condensing Two-yi Qi.
Then the third page, refining Two-yi Qi into Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy.
He continued through to the sixth page, where once again Chen Mobai failed to understand.
However, by this point, he no longer minded.
Because the parts he understood represented Qing Shi and Qing Jing Shangrenâs insights, which were certainly correct.
As for the parts he didnât comprehend, it indicated the two Shangren didnât understand either. If even they couldnât decode it, itâs understandable Chen Mobai couldnât either.
Thinking this way, Chen Mobai skimmed through the last three pages, committed the diagrams to memory, then brewed a cup of Enlightenment Tea and started again from the beginning.
Obviously, the efficacy of this Rank-3 Enlightenment Tea seemed almost nonexistent for the Heavenly Book.
Maybe using tea brewed from Sixth Rank Great Chun Tree leaves could be useful; given Chen Mobaiâs current status, the Jumang Academy might grant him this courtesy.
But Enlightenment Tea works best the first time it is consumed; Chen Mobai had already drunk it during Foundation Establishment, leading to a discounted effect the second time.
He didnât regret this, knowing if he hadnât drunk the Enlightenment Tea during Foundation Establishment, he wouldnât have his current achievements.
Subsequently, Chen Mobai entered the Guidance Book state again, surveyed the nine pages of the Purple Green Book, but could only comprehend the pages translated by Qing Shi and Qing Jing Shangren.
He didnât force understanding; after closing the book, he promptly called Daoist Yu Yi, requesting her to unseal the restrictions on the Phoenix Seal Scripture.
When Chen Mobai received the Phoenix Seal Scripture, he didnât notice Daoist Yu Yiâs face turn slightly pale; his mind entirely focused on the Phoenix Perched on Chinese Parasol Tree diagram on the cover.
This Phoenix Seal Scripture contained only seven pages.
The cover represented the foundation of the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram, the Phoenix Perched on Chinese Parasol Tree!
The following pages, one through six, depicted Quality of Food, Drink has ceremony, Heavenly Blessing, Response Earth Spirit, Law of the Five Tones, Nine Virtues Introspection!
Evidently, the scholars of the Dan Ding sect had comprehended 90% of this Heavenly Book, leaving only the last blank page unresolved.
Chen Mobai didnât exhaust himself over this, noting that even sages didnât comprehend it fully, and after a quick pass through the Guidance Book, he frankly set it aside.
Then he called Daoist Yu Yi again.
âElder Chunyang, I feel my True Qi is severely depleted; might you first examine these three Heavenly Books while I recuperate?â
At this point, Daoist Yu Yi finally couldnât hold back.
If other Nascent Soul cultivators came, she probably would have silently cursed them for wanting to understand what they couldnât comprehend, putting on airs.
Yet Chen Mobai was undoubtedly not like them; his is the Qualification of Deification, having swiftly reviewed both the Purple Green and Phoenix Seal Heavenly Books and certainly they too were comprehended just like the Taoist Laws Sure-book.
At the very least, he must have understood a significant portion.
Thus, Daoist Yu Yi ceased to pretend and directly expressed her difficulties.
Having repeatedly used Fifth-rank Talismans in a short time demonstrated her exceptional talisman crafting skills, but she, after all, was merely at the Nascent Soul Realm, and if asked to unlock another Heavenly Bookâs restriction, it would likely damage her Elemental Energy.
Once Chen Mobai realized this, he promptly apologized: âMy apologies, in that case, I shall review these three on hand again!â
Chen Mobai originally thought he could only study these three Heavenly Books this time.
However, unexpectedly, Leading Star Ancestor took an extraordinarily long time playing games.
He even celebrated New Yearâs at the Heavenly Book Academy.
Of course, during this time, Daoist Yu Yi also regained her breath, and unlocked each and every Heavenly Book for him.
