I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 819: Chapter 465: The Master of the Divine Machine Mansion Chapter 819: Chapter 465: The Master of the Divine Machine Mansion This past year, Chen Mobai had kept a low profile within the Repairing Heaven Institute. Aside from cultivating the Guidance Book, he was studying content related to governing the state and military affairs.

As the Repairing Heaven Institute had produced many Sect Masters in the past, and Chen Mobai had expressed this intention even before joining the institute, his pursuit of such knowledge didn’t attract much attention.

Since he now possessed two Formless Puppets, he was able to manage affairs in both realms without raising any suspicions.

After all, Chen Mobai was the youngest Rank-3 practitioner of Puppetry Technique in the Immortal Gate, so even if his use of puppets to attend classes was discovered, the teachers at the Repairing Heaven Institute wouldn’t say anything.

Geniuses all have their quirks and privileges, especially since it was their Daoist Academy that had invited him to enroll.

On this day, Chen Mobai sat quietly in a corner, planning to invite Yan Bingxuan for a meal after the orientation ended.

However, a slender young man with gray hair approached and greeted him.

“Brother Chen, long time no see.”

“You are…” Chen Mobai looked at the person in front of him, slightly furrowed his brow, and after thinking for a while, he finally found the corresponding memory, “Ding Chundzhi!”

“Indeed, Brother Chen remembers my name, I am quite honored.”

The gray-haired young man was none other than Ding Chundzhi, who had once compiled the Foundation List at the Jumang Academy. He had insisted on his opinion, ranking the then fresh-faced Chen Mobai at the top. His Observing Stars Technique indeed had extraordinary merit, and as he had predicted, Chen Mobai swept through all opponents and dominated the Foundation Establishment geniuses of the Immortal Gate.

“If I remember correctly, you’re a graduate of the Astral Observation Academy, so what brings you to the Repairing Heaven Institute?”

“To fully unleash the potential of the Observing Stars Technique, it’s best to supplement it with the Guidance Book. So when I felt I had hit a bottleneck in my cultivation, I came here to advance my studies,” Ding Chundzhi replied openly and honestly.

The Guidance Book is the most versatile secondary cultivation technique of the Immortal Gate, and any Foundation Establishment Practitioner would choose to cultivate it if they could.

However, as a Divinity Transformation Technique, the Guidance Book is one of the most talent-demanding within the Immortal Gate, requiring top-tier intelligence, comprehension, and wisdom roots to possibly master it.

Over the past thirty to forty years at the Repairing Heaven Institute, only Lou Fengcheng and Ling Daoshi have succeeded in cultivating it.

Last year, Chen Mobai joined the institute and was taught the technique, and even now, he was still lingering outside its threshold without having mastered it.

“How goes your cultivation of the Guidance Book?” asked Chen Mobai, hesitating before speaking up.

“My talent isn’t as great as yours; I’ve only just started the rudiments. As for how long it will take to truly master it, who knows,” Ding Chundzhi replied with a sigh.

Within the Immortal Gate, it was universally acknowledged that Chen Mobai possessed a talent and understanding akin to a ceiling level, and Ding Chundzhi, knowing he was also cultivating the Guidance Book, had taken it for granted that he’d already mastered it.

Even if he hadn’t mastered it yet, it was assumed he would inevitably succeed in the future.

About this, Chen Mobai was left speechless. After all, a person’s reputation precedes them—why else would he be regarded as having the Qualification of Deification!

However, in reality, although he had consumed various heavenly and earthly treasures, and his Spiritual Root was considered genius-level, aspects like comprehension and wisdom roots, which are quite elusive, were just barely considered top-quality.

To master the Guidance Book, however, it didn’t matter if one’s Spiritual Root was connected; only those with the highest tiers of comprehension could possibly do it.

“Are you here to welcome the newcomers today as well?”

Not wanting to continue on this topic, Chen Mobai decisively changed the subject.

“Exactly, a student from the Astral Observation Academy has successfully passed the examination and enrolled in the Repairing Heaven Institute. I’m on good terms with her; our relationship is like that of senior and junior, so I came to welcome her,” replied Ding Chundzhi after a moment of hesitation, telling the truth.

Chen Mobai didn’t mind, merely nodded, and continued along this new line of conversation to steer clear of discussing the Guidance Book.

And at this point, one by one, the new students who had passed the examination began to take the stage.

While Chen Mobai was looking for Yan Bingxuan, he suddenly caught sight of someone he had not expected to see at all.

Chen Chun from the Divine Machine Mansion!

Why had she come to the Repairing Heaven Institute?

And she had been admitted through examination; which scholarly mansion or academy did she come from?

As Chen Mobai was thinking this, he suddenly noticed Ding Chundzhi beside him take an abrupt breath, his gaze narrowing slightly as he looked over, revealing a forced smile on his face.

“The fourth one from the left in the third row, she wouldn’t happen to be the person from your Astral Observation Academy, would she?”

“Haha, Brother Chen knows of Chen Chun as well? It’s quite the coincidence, she shares your surname—perhaps five hundred years ago, you were even from the same family.”

With those words, Ding Chundzhi essentially acknowledged it; regardless, even if it was a temporary secret, with Chen Mobai’s influence, a little investigation would yield the same conclusion later on.

“How amusing. Who would have thought, Brother Ding, you too hail from the Antiquity Daoist System,” Chen Mobai said with narrowed eyes, uttering a statement that made Ding Chundzhi’s complexion shift slightly.

“Brother Chen, you shouldn’t say that. I am a bona fide scholar of the Astral Observation Academy,” Ding Chundzhi replied with a trembling tone and a forced smile, seemingly lacking confidence.

“This woman has calculated my fortune for me and claims to be a descendant of the Divine Machine Mansion. Although this lineage is not listed among the Evil Path, it is part of the Antiquity Daoist System. Since Brother Ding, you claim a brother-sister relationship with her, don’t you think this kind of statement is a bit dismissive?”

Having said that, Ding Chundzhi could only shake his head and give a wry smile.
