I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1596: Chapter 800: Turning the Hand Over is Like Changing the Weather_Part 2

Moreover, he was, after all, a newly emerged Nascent Soul Cultivator, so even now, he hadn’t yet completely mastered Void Walking.

If anyone else had said that, Nangong Xuanyu would surely have used Nascent Soul Oppression to make them understand what it meant to challenge him.

But Chen Mobai…

Nangong Xuanyu thought for a moment, then left quickly without stopping.

Chen Mobai was a little surprised to see him take it so well.

He had already prepared to use Nangong Xuanyu as the “chicken” to establish his authority after forming his Nascent Soul.

After Nangong Xuanyu left, Bo Xiangqian and Lan Haitian came over to greet both Chen Mobai and Ye Yune before leading the members of the Heaven-Repairing Lineage out of the meeting room.

Next were the individuals from outside the four lineages. They all came over politely to introduce themselves briefly, ensuring Chen Mobai would remember them.

These were essentially the real power figures of the various departments within the Three Great Halls – in fact, the true upper echelon of the Immortal Gate.

After Chen Mobai responded to each of them, he exchanged contact information with them individually.

Though he had previously been the head of the Weapon Dancing Sect, his reclusive nature and involvement in the covert Sky-Mending Group gave him little opportunity to interact with these people.

Now, after forming his Nascent Soul, Chen Mobai was even less inclined to bother with such matters.

His mind was already on reappointing Wang Shuye back to his position.

“Commissioner Chen, before speaking, you might want to consider how others feel.”

At that moment, as Ye Yune led the Kunpeng Lineage members out and passed by Chen Mobai, she suddenly said this to him.

“Huh?”

Chen Mobai was momentarily puzzled, but as he watched Ye Yune’s retreating figure leave the meeting room, he suddenly understood.

So she also hadn’t mastered Void Walking yet.

Was this technique really so difficult?

Chen Mobai, who had comprehended it back during the Core Formation stage, couldn’t quite figure it out.

“Honored One, Gongye Zhixu, as one of the Kaiyuan Hall Rotational Committee members, has the authority to raise objections and request a meeting to be reconvened.”

By this point, only the Weapon Lineage and Jumang Lineage remained in the room. Wang Xin Fu immediately approached Chen Mobai and said this to him.

This explained why Nangong Xuanyu had made such remarks before leaving.

Just as Chen Mobai could reverse and adjust the roster this way, the Heaven-Repairing Lineage could also exploit the rules to reconvene the meeting.

“That’s Ye Yune’s domain. If she blocks it, Gongye Zhixu’s request might not even make it out of Kaiyuan Hall.”

To reconvene the meeting, it would have to be done under the authority of Kaiyuan Hall. While Gongye Zhixu was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he was still subordinate to Ye Yune.

“The Kunpeng Lineage would certainly be delighted to see us and the Heaven-Repairing Lineage go head-to-head. Deputy Hall Master Ye wouldn’t just refrain from stopping it – she might even add fuel to the fire, creating even greater friction between our two sides.”

Wang Xin Fu let out a bitter smile. Previously, the Weapon Lineage had been low-profile, and the Jumang Lineage had remained silent, leaving most of the Heaven-Repairing Lineage’s attention focused on the Kunpeng Lineage as they supported Gongye Zhixu’s attempts to wrest power from Ye Yune within Kaiyuan Hall.

Now that Chen Mobai had stepped forward, the Kunpeng Lineage would undoubtedly want to take this opportunity to extricate themselves, hoping for a scenario where Heaven-Repairing and Weapon/Jumang factions both suffer losses. If Ye Yune could create conditions for such a conflict to occur, she wouldn’t hesitate for a second.

“It’s fine. I was just testing the waters, and I didn’t expect that gaining the upper hand over Ling Daoshi would actually align with the people’s desires.”

Chen Mobai, however, casually remarked.

To be honest, his initial intention had only been to avenge the grudge of having his team member struck off the roster by the Heaven-Repairing Lineage. Getting Hua Zijing and Meng Huang onto the list had already fulfilled his goal at the outset.

Ling Daoshi was merely a pawn in his struggle with the Heaven-Repairing Lineage.

“Next time, the Kunpeng Lineage might not continue to stand with us.”

Pei Qingshuang voiced her concern. The reason they had managed to suppress the Heaven-Repairing Lineage this time was due to the alliance between the three lineages.

“Do you think the Heaven-Repairing Lineage would try to convince me, or Ye Yune?”

Chen Mobai posed this question, which left Pei Qingshuang and the others enlightened.

“The Heaven-Repairing Lineage would privately seek reconciliation with us?”

In truth, this was the norm in politics. Before the distribution of Gold Core Spiritual Materials, the upper echelons of the four lineages would typically reach an agreement on the lists, with the meeting serving as a mere formality to announce the results to others.

But earlier, Nangong Xuanyu had acted unpredictably, directly targeting individuals with Weapon Lineage backgrounds without prior notice.

If Chen Mobai hadn’t formed his Nascent Soul, the Weapon Lineage could only have endured the insult in silence.

But now, things were different.

With both sides having representatives at an equal level, negotiation, trade-offs, and compromise became the norm.

Sure enough, just as Chen Mobai sat in Hua Zijing’s car, preparing to leave, Lan Haitian’s call came through.

“Palace Master Ying wishes to meet with you. Do you have time?”

Lan Haitian’s tone was exceedingly polite. Chen Mobai nodded, instructing Hua Zijing to continue driving him back to the Hall of Orthodox Law, while he himself activated Void Walking and disappeared from the back seat.

Chen Mobai returned to the Xianwu Hall.

Lan Haitian was waiting in the same meeting room as before. He then led him toward Ying Guanghua’s office.

“It’s been a long time. Truly, you’re worthy of being recognized as having the Qualification of Deification within our Immortal Gate.”

Ying Guanghua seemed to have been handling some official work, but upon seeing Chen Mobai enter, he immediately set aside what he was doing and stood up to greet him.

Chen Mobai nodded in acknowledgment and reciprocated with a few pleasantries before the two took their seats.
