Chapter 1405: Chapter 751: Knowing the ‘Rules’ _2 Chapter 1405: Chapter 751: Knowing the ‘Rules’ _2 Yunhai Shangren appeared as a very refined and amiable middle-aged man. To Chen Mobai and Wen Ren Xuewei, he offered a few words filled with wisdom, rarely heard from him.

“Your Excellency’s words hold great truth, it’s just that within the Weapon Lineage, I am now the only one who can step forward. Thus, I have no choice but to leave my retreat,” replied Chen Mobai with a deep sigh.

Chen Mobai was known in the Immortal Gate as a figure dedicated to bitter cultivation. After completing his studies, he returned to his hometown where he cultivated above a Spirit Vein, only stirring once every ten years for his duty reporting.

“Alas, that may be the case. Perhaps the Heaven-Repairing and Kunpeng Lineages have seen this, which is why they’ve schemed to compel you into official service. After all, you cultivate too swiftly, and they fear that you might suddenly achieve Nascent Soul Formation, disrupting the current state of affairs,” Yunhai Shangren said, his words somewhat misaligned with his allegiance to the Kunpeng camp. However, having reached his level of cultivation, he was indeed one of the covert leaders within the Immortal Gate, genuinely needing not to care for such concerns.

“The Nascent Soul Formation is by no means an easy feat. If only I were cultivating the Lasting Spring Technique,” Chen Mobai sighed once more. Wen Ren Xuewei, who stood beside him, heard this and gave a slight smile. Without a word, she handed over the freshly brewed tea to Yan Qiongzhi by her side, who in turn offered it to both Yunhai Shangren and Chen Mobai.

“However, it’s also good for you to take office early. After all, you are cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll, and only the Three Spirit Medicines of Nascent Soul Formation from the Three Great Halls are of use to you, requiring accumulation of tenure through secular political service. Moreover, if you truly form your Nascent Soul while in office, your alignment with ‘the Rules’ might be high, giving you more hope for your future Divinity Transformation.”

On Di Yuan Star, aside from the Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine, there are also some precious heavenly and earthly treasures within the Sea Territory that can be refined into Spiritual Water beneficial for Nascent Soul Formation. However, these are basically only consumable by cultivators associated with a Water Spirit Root.

Yunhai Shangren himself had obtained the opportunity to form his Nascent Soul within the Sea Territory, and so had Beiming Ascendant of the Kunpeng Academy.

That’s why, historically, the Kunpeng Academy had the most Nascent Soul Cultivators.

It was only in the last thousand years, due to the influence of the Leading Star Ancestor, that the Heaven-Repairing Lineage saw a rise in fortune. Assisted by the Leading Star’s Guidance Book, they produced five Nascent Souls, forcing the Kunpeng Lineage to cede place to the Kaiyuan Hall.

“What are ‘the Rules’?”

Chen Mobai, upon hearing something unfathomable in Yunhai’s words, couldn’t help but ask.

“This knowledge is exclusive to the Immortal Sect Nascent Souls. However, considering your distinct identities, I may inform you both in advance…”

As he spoke, Yunhai gestured to Yan Qiongzhi, who immediately withdrew with good sense.

Chen Mobai noticed that Wen Ren Xuewei remained composed, suspecting that she likely knew what “the Rules” referred to.

“The Rules are a ‘Fruit of Dao’s Rule’…”

When Yunhai Shangren finished explaining, Chen Mobai couldn’t conceal his astonishment.

He had never imagined that the Immortal Gate possessed such profound legacies.

No wonder, even on the barren lands of Di Yuan Star, they could endlessly achieve Divinity Transformation!

“May I inquire which two ancestors refined ‘the Rules’ before?” asked Chen Mobai, driven by curiosity.

“One is Taiyuan True Monarch, and the other is The True Monarch of Xuanwu!”

Yunhai Shangren didn’t withhold any information and answered directly.

The True Monarch of Xuanwu belonged to their Weapon Dancing Sect, a genius who, apart from Ancestor Yunya, was the second person to achieve Divinity Transformation through “The Union of Differences.”

“Lasting Spring Technique allows for unlimited attempts, could it not be used to try and refine ‘the Rules’?”

A thought struck Chen Mobai, prompting him to turn to Wen Ren Xuewei with a question.

“The strength of the Lasting Spring Technique lies in our ability to borrow the power of the Great Chun Divine Tree. However, the infinite trials of the physical body do not mean that the spirit can do likewise. In fact, it is precisely because of the body’s eternal immortality that our spirit becomes relatively the flaw and weakness,” Wen Ren Xuewei explained the underlying reason. To refine the Rules, one must rely on spirit and will; failing to refine would mean complete assimilation, loss of self, and consequently becoming a part of the Rules.

Under such circumstances, cultivators of the Lasting Spring Cultivation are, in essence, with bodies still present but spirits already dead!

There was once a cultivator of Lasting Spring Cultivation who was also the Head of Immortal Affairs before Lin Daoming; he attempted to refine the Dao Law, and now his body is still preserved within Jumang Academy, in accordance with his will, for medical researchers to dissect and experiment on.

The contribution of this body, which can be used for unlimited experiments, to Three Extremes Sage becoming the foremost expert in medical techniques of Immortal Sect, is immeasurable.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai appeared to have a sudden realization.

He also admired the honesty of the Immortal Sect, realizing that in the Tianhe Realm, the Taoist Child and Saintess of all the holy lands would definitely not reveal the vulnerabilities of their cultivation techniques like this.

However, it is precisely because of this that Lasting Spring Cultivation can only assure a firm foothold at the Nascent Soul Realm, never reaching Divinity Transformation!

“Among the fourteen ascendants of Immortal Sect today, is there nobody who can refine ‘Dao Law’?”

Chen Mobai asked again.

“The probabilities for Yuan Xu and Qi Yuheng are roughly the same, but both are too proud and ambitious, both wanting to surpass the barrier of Divinity Transformation with their own talents,” said Yunhai Shangren, sharing secrets only known to those at the Nascent Soul Superior level.

“What a pity, who knows when I will be able to reach Nascent Soul Formation and come into contact with the Dao Law?” lamented Chen Mobai. If the cultivators of the Tianhe Realm knew of the existence of Dao Law, even the holy lands would go mad trying to seize it.

As for the side effects of Dao Law, when compared to the peak realm of Divinity Transformation, which stands supreme in both worlds, they are entirely acceptable.

Right, Yunhai Shangren just said that the existence of Immortal Sect is to cultivate the Dao Law.

Could it be possible!

If he implemented the system and laws of the Immortal Sect in the Eastern Wilderness, could he cultivate the same “Dao Law”?

“I wonder, where is this ‘Dao Law’ currently kept? After hearing what Senior has said, I can’t wait to see it firsthand.”

Chen Mobai’s remark was met with a shake of the head from Yunhai Shangren, indicating that he should not entertain that thought.

“Dao Law is of paramount importance, being the foundation of Immortal Sect, and is, of course, kept by the hands of the two Ancestors of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains. Ever since Ancestor Baiguang from your Weapon Dancing Sect entered seclusion, it has always been with the Leading Star Ancestor at Gathering-Immortal Peak.”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai was not disappointed; after all, he was not coveting the Dao Law of the Immortal Sect, but rather wanting to understand how to create “Dao Law.”

He posed another question to Yunhai Shangren.

“I haven’t looked into this since I don’t have a karmic connection with that ‘Dao Law’; I haven’t put effort into this matter. However, I know that the Head of Immortal Affairs, who governs lands and rivers, is the constant and strong foundation that fortifies the ‘Dao Law’. You can inquire with Ying Guanghua or the recently retired Lin Daoming, they definitely know.”

At this, Chen Mobai felt a slight headache.

He had only met Ying Guanghua once, and because he had accepted the recruitment of the Hall of Orthodox Law, he had effectively refused the new Head of Immortal Affairs.

Lin Daoming was an even less likely source, being the biggest hypothetical enemy in the Immortal Sect from his perspective.

However, investigating the methods of Dao Law was not urgent. When he officially joined the Hall of Orthodox Law next year and took charge of the Sky-Mending Group, he could use the pretext of exchanging knowledge with Lan Haitian to see if he could pry some information from him.

Although Lan Haitian did not rise directly to high rank during the tenure change and become the Vice Hall Master of Immortal Affairs, he was still appointed by Ying Guanghua as the Permanent Secretary.

Every previous Vice Head of Immortal Affairs has held this position.

The implication here is clear.

Moreover, since Lan Haitian graduated from Kunpeng, his rise is also pleasing to the Kunpeng Lineage.

Compared to Chen Mobai and Wen Ren Xuewei, Lan Haitian’s start at The Three Great Halls is unprecedentedly favorable.
