I Have A Cultivation World

“Master, I will manage the Little Nan Mountain Shop with peace of mind from now on, hoping to stay by your side forever.”

Liu Wenbo had grown up in the Eastern Wilderness since he was a child. Although he was simple by nature, he had grown accustomed to seeing disciples who failed to break through their realm being dismissed by their masters, with the bond between them gradually fading until they never met again.

His decade on Little Nan Mountain had been the most carefree time of his life. Now, after failing at Foundation Establishment, he deeply feared that his relationship with Chen Mobai would fade away, which made him somewhat anxious.

“You’re not even forty years old yet, and this attempt at Foundation Establishment didn’t diminish your lifespan. You still have at least two more chances, so why be so disheartened? Just rest for a while, and wait until the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms is ready.”

Chen Mobai actually still had a Foundation Building Pill. He had bought two from the South Profound Sect’s Treasure-Colored Market in the past, originally intended for Chen Xinglan, but after his father failed the Foundation Establishment again, he had simply given up.

The remaining pill had been planned for his cousin to use if she failed at Foundation Establishment.

But upon reflection, he thought it better to avoid leaving any traces with the Immortal Gate, so he kept it with him all this time.

Chen Mobai had also considered that if any of his three disciples failed at Foundation Establishment, he could give it to them, but observing Liu Wenbo’s state of mind, he felt that even if he were given ten Foundation Building Pills, the result would likely be the same. Therefore, he decided to first temper his eldest disciple.

“Yes, Master!”

Having heard this, Liu Wenbo’s expression slightly eased.

Chen Mobai asked him to stretch out his hand and took his pulse to ensure that there were no lingering issues after the failed Foundation Establishment before nodding and confidently returning to the wooden house in the tree.

About three days later, Liu Wenbo’s strength had recovered, and he sent a message to Chen Mobai, suggesting that he was considering leaving.

“Although you didn’t harm your lifespan with the failed Foundation Establishment, it still affected your essence. After returning, rest well for two years. If you really get bored, go help Zhuo Ming with farming, and make sure to not engage in magic duels or overexert yourself in these next few years.”

Chen Mobai came down to send off his eldest disciple, giving him a few personal words of advice. Liu Wenbo nodded, his face showing a hint of shame as he left the Longevity Wood Dojo.

Chen Mobai was also disheartened for a couple of days over this matter.

However, he was not the same person who once became mentally obstructed when Meng Huang failed at Core Formation or Chansi departed. Now more mature, he was able to accept reality amidst his sadness.

A person’s life is mostly filled with disappointments.

Only by extending one’s life can one find those precious successes amidst many failures.

Therefore, Chen Mobai’s motivation to cultivate the Longevity Dao Body was stronger than ever.

In the meantime, he made a trip back to the Repairing Heaven Institute because he had largely finished his academic career there, having graduated with full marks from his main courses in governance and warfare.

He still hadn’t grasped the Guidance Book, but he wasn’t concerned about it.

The Repairing Heaven Institute, following Elder Yuanxu’s wishes, would naturally prefer Chen Mobai to stay, especially since they needed his help to repair the Formless Puppets.

For this reason, Fu Borong personally sought out Chen Mobai for a discussion, mentioning the possibility of arranging for him to join the official ranks of the Three Great Halls of Xianmen. Such a position, with enough tenure, would ensure receipt of the Golden Liquid Jade Pill — as long as he was willing to stay in the Repairing Heaven Institute.

But Chen Mobai couldn’t wait that long, and with too many secrets to guard, he feared revealing anything to Elder Yuanxu, whose intellect was approaching the Transformation God Level.

Thus, he tactfully declined, stating that his five years of study at the Repairing Heaven Institute had broadened his horizons and that he had vaguely captured the inspiration to form his Golden Core.

Precisely because of this, he did not have the mental capacity to ponder the Divinity Transformation Technique of the Guidance Book and now wished to focus exclusively on cultivation. In the most tender part of his heart, on that pure land within, he aimed to touch the Golden Core Dao.

Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s words, not only Fu Borong but also Elder Yuanxu were stunned.

Fearing they might actually hinder a potential master of Divinity Transformation from the Immortal Gate, they immediately granted his graduation certificate.

“If you had decided to stay, the elder was planning to personally open a portal for you once…”

On the day he received his graduation certificate, Fu Borong spoke with a look of regret.

Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Opening a Golden Core Domain within the Immortal Gate requires the assistance of the supreme treasure known as a portal, and using such a treasure would typically require a Nascent Soul Superior at the very least.

After reaching the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai had applied for the opening of a Golden Core Domain through the official network of Xianmen.

However, as the two new Golden Core Masters in recent years had successfully opened their domains during their Foundation Establishment, no Nascent Soul Superior was inclined to expend elemental energy on such a trivial matter, hence he remained in the queue.

“`

Chen Mobai had never expected that Elder Yuanxu would actually be willing to take action for his sake.

Nevertheless, even so, Chen Mobai’s determination to leave the Patching Heaven Daoist Academy remained unwavering.

With resources from two worlds at his disposal, as long as he could successfully reach Core Formation, his future would be bright anywhere he went.

The Golden Core Domain was indeed excellent, but compared to Core Formation, it could be set aside.

And even if he hadn’t successfully established a domain during his Foundation Establishment, there would still be chances after Core Formation.

Therefore, as soon as his period of study came to an end, Chen Mobai decisively chose to graduate.

The only thing he regretted was having to part with Yan Bingxuan. Although she had entered the threshold of studying the Yuanqi system, synthesizing the Ice Soul Divine Light would still require her to learn more and attempt a multitude of experiments.

The Patching Heaven Institute had the best experimental conditions for this, so staying was her best choice.

“I can apply for graduation next year too,” Yan Bingxuan said as she and Chen Mobai walked down the streets of Xixuan Dongtian the night he left the Patching Heaven Daoist Academy.

“What do you plan to do after you graduate?” he asked.

“The Red Dawn Institution has the backing of the Nature Studies Academy; I’ll become a teacher there. After serving for enough years, I’ll exchange for a Water Primordial Golden Core Pill. I hope that I’ll be successful in reaching Core Formation,” Yan Bingxuan said, looking straight into Chen Mobai’s eyes. She had more to say but held it back.

She wanted to catch up to his pace and accompany him on his journey.

Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback when he heard this and instinctively tried to persuade her.

“After I return, I might enter closed-door cultivation for a decade or two, so there’s no need for you to follow me back. Take this rare opportunity to enrich and improve yourself within the Patching Heaven Institute,” he said.

Yan Bingxuan frowned slightly upon hearing this and wanted to express her feelings, but she also felt Chen Mobai made a lot of sense.

If he really were to go into deep closed-door cultivation for many years upon his return, being by herself in Red Sandstone City wouldn’t make much sense.

“Then, when you come out of seclusion, remember to call me,” she said.

Ultimately, Yan Bingxuan followed Chen Mobai’s advice and stayed at the Patching Heaven Institute to synthesize the Ice Soul Divine Light before making any further decisions.

“Yes, I’ll call you first after I form my core!” Chen Mobai confidently stated. Anyone else saying this might have been dismissed by Yan Bingxuan as boasting, but when it came from Mobai, she felt nothing but pride.

“After you form your core, I hope you can wait for me, not advancing too quickly,” Yan Bingxuan suddenly said before they parted.

Chen Mobai didn’t grasp her meaning and shook his head to indicate that as a follower of the Sect of Realms, he would never stop pursuing higher realms with the greatest speed.

Yan Bingxuan, wearing an expression of speechlessness, sent Chen Mobai off to the airport.

Upon returning to Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai nominally rented a Rank-3 Spiritual Energy Cultivation Room from Cinnabarite Institute, left a puppet there to show he was cultivating.

In truth, his true body had returned to the Tianhe Realm and, taking advantage of the Fourth Grade Superior spirit vein of the Everlife Wood, he continued his cultivation of the Longevity Dao Body.

Another year quickly passed by.

On this day, Chen Mobai finished refining the last drop of the Longevity Tree Sap and stepped outside to have a chat with Meng Hong, wanting to know if there were any new Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect who had opened the Divine Tree Secret Realm.

It wouldn’t be polite to go empty-handed, so Chen Mobai planned to make a trip to Little Nan Mountain first to get a couple of jars of wine brewed by Zhuo Ming.

Just as he flew over Little Nan Mountain, his expression suddenly turned to one of surprise and confusion.

He activated his Void Spirit Eye and peered towards the thousand-acre Spirit Field below, only to see the immense earth seemingly come to life at this very moment, as an endless stream of earth vein spiritual energy surged towards a certain spot at the base of Little Nan Mountain.

What was going on?
