"For someone who has fallen to the Demon Path, if they remain within the Immortal Gate and succeed in Divinity Transformation through the Shocking God Sonata, itās more of a calamity."
However, Chen Mobai had a different perspective. When his Immortal Earth Spiritual Root comprehended the Dao, he received the inheritance of the Apocalypse Great Mill, and with Lin Daomingās talent, it was quite possible he might turn out the same.
Yet, within the Immortal Gate, the highest one can reach is Divinity Transformation. So, if there were methods to Cultivate Void or even directly attain the Ninth Rank, Chen Mobai believed Lin Daoming could not resist the temptation, unlike himself.
Moreover, Chen Mobai could resist the influence of Demonic Cultivation Techniques because he had other paths available in the Tianhe Realm, with plenty of choices.
A well-fed person can resist temptation better than someone whoās always hungry.
Thus, he thought that Lin Daoming was likely fallen.
Itās best for such a person to leave the Immortal Gate early on.
"I somehow havenāt become as open-minded as you."
Upon hearing Chen Mobaiās words, Qian Xing couldnāt help but laugh awkwardly.
Following that, the three of them discussed some arrangements for opening a war, and Qian Xing shared some experiences about Divinity Transformation with them.
"If many people achieve Divinity Transformation through the Shocking God Sonata, when I leave, Iāll take a few more along, since at most, one can remain in the lineage."
Qian Xing recalled the grand occasion of the last Shocking God Sonata and cautioned the two Nascent Souls from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.
"Iām getting on in years. If I can successfully achieve Divinity Transformation, I hope the Ancestor can take me to witness the cosmic star river!"
Master Chengxuan was the first to respond. His relatives within three generations had long passed away hundreds of years ago. Currently, apart from this lineage at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he was completely alone, so he was quite carefree.
"Thank you, Principal. I still have quite a few family members, but I donāt really want to stay to see them off. I might take the opportunity to leave as well when the time comes."
Although Chen Mobai was getting older, he still couldnāt bear seeing his loved ones pass away.
When Chen Xiaohei, Meng Huang, and Yan Bingxuan all form their Nascent Souls, he could leave the Immortal Gate with peace of mind to explore.
It also serves as a convenient excuse to disappear from the Immortal Gate and go do something major in the Tianhe Realm.
"Iām quite reassured by your mindset, but of all the younger generation in the Immortal Gate, Iām only at ease if youāre in charge, so please stay and take on this responsibility for a while longer."
Qian Xing rarely persuaded Chen Mobai, considering that leaving through the Portal didnāt guarantee safety, as only Bai Guang had succeeded in Cultivating Void.
"In that case, Iāll reluctantly stay."
Chen Mobai was no longer modest at this point.
After all, if Qian Xing truly led a group of people away, he would be the indisputable Supreme Emperor of the Immortal Gate, free to do as he wished.
There would be no need to hide or withhold anything from the Tianhe Realm.
"By the way, Ancestor, why did you come to my Dance Tool Dao Academy after reincarnation?"
Finally, Chen Mobai posed a question.
Logically, Qian Xing shouldāve gone to Patching Heaven.
"It must be destiny, suggesting that my opportunity for Cultivating Void lies here. I suspect it might be the Nine Dragon Cauldron at the deepest part of the Treasure Trove. Iām pondering whether it could serve as the core to set up a new Sixth Rank Great Array..."
Facing Chen Mobaiās query, Qian Xing didnāt conceal anything.
Within the Immortal Gate, items of Sixth Rank are few and rare.
The Dance Tool Dao Academy just happened to have a fully functional, Sixth Rank Nine Dragon Cauldron.
Qian Xing couldnāt control his Reincarnated Body, and like Bai Guang, he left everything to fateās discretion.
Ultimately, fate guided him here. After careful consideration, Qian Xing felt it was the heavens signaling him that he needed that cauldron to Cultivate Void.
"So, Ancestor, are you planning to conduct Sacramental Refinement on the Nine Dragon Cauldron?"
Master Chengxuan, standing nearby, heard Chen Mobaiās question and his eyes momentarily grew somewhat bitter.
"Iāve already completed the Sacramental Refinement."
Qian Xing smiled gently and tapped on his phoneās equipment tab, where a crimson great cauldron materialized from the screen and landed in his palm.
Seeing this, Chen Mobai understood why Master Chengxuanās expression was so bitter.
As the Dance Tool Dao Academyās supreme treasure, he certainly wouldnāt be willing to hand it over, but with Qian Xingās Cultivating Void endeavor, Chengxuan had no grounds to refuse.
After all, the upcoming war is extremely dangerous. If Qian Xing succeeds in Cultivating Void before then, it could prevent a great calamity for the Immortal Gate.
"Congratulations to the Ancestor for getting one step closer to Cultivating Void."
Upon witnessing this, Chen Mobai, though regretful that a supreme treasure almost in his grasp was slipping away, instantly thought of a way to leverage this chance to benefit himself.
"By the way, Ancestor, if I recall correctly, Little Red Sky is the Domain once reformed by Senior Zhang Daoshun, and it served as his foundation for integrating the Heavenly Curtain and Earth Network while Cultivating Void."
"For your grand plan of Cultivating Void, I think it might be necessary to grant you Little Red Sky too. We could extract the Primordial Yang Sword from its core and place the Nine Dragon Cauldron inside. Their combination might pave the way for your Cultivating Void journey."
"However, this might mean that Little Red Sky would need to shut down its server for a long time, and Iām afraid the public at the Immortal Gate wouldnāt be happy about it. Xianwu Hall and Kaiyuan Hall might not agree either."
Qian Xingās eyes immediately lit up upon hearing Chen Mobai.
It turned out that this was indeed the case.
He had been busy using "The Union of Differences" to conduct Sacramental Refinement on the Nine Dragon Cauldron and hadnāt thought of this point. Now that the cauldron was almost ready, it might be feasible to reassemble the layout left by Zhang Daoshun for Cultivating Void and move further along the path established by the former seniors.
"This is a win-win situation. After the Primordial Yang Sword is extracted, you can comprehend Yuan Yang Ancestorās Rank-5 Sword Dao, and I can use the Nine Dragon Cauldron to try integrating it with Little Red Sky for Cultivating Void."
"This is all for the sake of ensuring that billions of beings from the Immortal Gate can survive the great calamity. Any minor grievances are insignificant; the Three Great Halls can take the blame."
"Iāll have my main body come out of seclusion to inform Qi Yuheng and have him give the orders. Pure Yang, you just need to cooperate. Xianwu Hall and Kaiyuan Hall wouldnāt dare defy the decree of a Divinity Transformation master."
With just a few words, Qian Xing had already set the plan in motion.
Although the Immortal Gate typically abides by rules due to the Fruit of Daoās Rule, critical moments require the Three Great Halls to yield to the needs of a Divinity Transformation Ancestor.
Once Qi Yuhengās decree is issued, even if Ying Guanghua and Ye Yune are reluctant, they must execute it.
Moreover, when the Three Great Halls proceed, they must maintain the dignity of the Divinity Transformation, meaning theyāll only inform the public that Little Red Sky is being shut down for server upgrades, per the unanimous decision of the Three Great Halls.
This way, any grievances from the public would be directed solely towards the ruling Three Great Halls.
Chen Mobai recalled that he was part of the Three Great Halls, but for the sake of the Primordial Yang Sword, the minor infamy was bearable.
If it becomes unbearable, he could resign before the matter is fixed and let Wenren Xuewei bear the burden.
Perhaps the public in the Immortal Gate would even speculate that he resigned in defiance of the proposal because he couldnāt stop it, thus winning public favor.
Thinking this through, Chen Mobai felt like he had hit the jackpot.
