Chapter 682: Chapter 416: Shan Hai Academy (8k)_1
After all, the Purple Electric Sword is a Rank-4 sword. If Chen Mobai could get his hands on it, he would have little to fear in the Eastern Wasteland.
In the Eastern Wasteland, the highest cultivation realm was only that of the Gold Core. With the Purple Electric Sword in his hand, Chen Mobai felt that even if he was defeated, he could use the sword to buy some time to retreat with the Turtle Treasure.
So when he heard the news, he excused himself with an excuse of enlightenment and returned to Xiao Nanshan for solitude.
“Master, have some tea.”
After returning to the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai immediately went to see Che Yucheng, making him tea as usual.
“This situation is a bit strange.”
Even Che Yucheng, who always had good intel, was somewhat puzzled about the Purple Electric Sword resonating with twelve peerless sword cultivation geniuses.
“Master, what’s strange about it? Do you mean that Shanhai Xuegong doesn’t want to give up the Purple Electric Sword, so they constructed this doubt?”
The Purple Electric Sword was still in the hands of Shanhai Xuegong, so they were in charge of selecting its master.
Even if there were a large number of cultivators in the Immortal Sect, it was impossible to produce twelve peerless sword cultivation geniuses in just one year.
Know that in the past ten years, the Dance Tool Dao Academy had only produced a Chen Mobai and a half-developed Zha Jianbai.
“This matter was approved by several elders. Shanhai Xuegong doesn’t have the guts to deceive.”
Che Yucheng shook his head. The issue of the Purple Electric Sword choosing its master was clear to all the Gold Core realm cultivators in the Immortal Sect, even if it seemed unclear to the public.
If someone dared to cheat here, they would have to prepare to be under the scrutiny of the Hall Master, the supreme overseer of the Immortal Sect’s laws.
“The principal should know about it, right?”
Chen Mobai hesitated and asked.
“I have asked him, but the principal insists that I should not worry or probe too much into it; I should just stay quiet.”
Che Yucheng was considerate towards Chen Mobai. Knowing his interest in the Purple Electric Sword, he promptly messaged Cheng Xuan as soon as he learned about the matter.
Cheng Xuan’s reply made him feel the oddity in this matter.
“Master, how about I go to Shanhai Xuegong in advance and check it out.”
Chen Mobai, having relieved himself of the duty of student council president and having completed the sale of Fire Spirit Rice in the Divine Wood Sect, was free for the rest of the year. He decided to utilize this time to get closer to the Purple Electric Sword.
“That’ll work, but don’t take the Purple Electric Sword too seriously. After all, your competitors are Gold Core cultivators. Don’t feel discouraged if you lose.”
As Che Yucheng spoke, he was already starting to take the pressure off Chen Mobai.
“Okay, Master. Who should I contact when I go there?”
In Shanhai Xuegong, Chen Mobai only knew Pei Qingshuang.
However, since they had a fiery fight in Jumang Dao Institute, Chen Mobai felt that his relationship with her was ordinary, so he didn’t plan on finding her.
“Hao Cao studied at our academy. After you go to Shanhai Xuegong, you can directly find him.”
Since the Four Great Daoist Academies only enrolled fifty new students each year, there were many aspirants who fell short. They had the chance to pursue continued education in the top ten academies to take advantage of the resources and instruction provided by the Four Great Daoist Academies.
Last year, Dai Shiqing, the chief student of Lingbao Xuegong, was promoted to Dance Tool Dao Academy by passing the examination.
When Chen Mobai was still the student council president, he visited him specifically and had a pleasant conversation.
Hao Cao, the principal of Shanhai Xuegong, was in the same situation. For his work, he collaborated with Deng Daoyun, the current head of the Refining Implement Department and forged a Rank-3 sword fetus, which was widely praised.
To this day, Hao Cao was recognized as a Sword Dao Master and a big sword cultivator in perfect Core Formation.
After making a call with Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai didn’t delay it any longer.
Shanhai Xuegong was in White Stone, the easternmost area of the Immortal Sect, and was a coastal city.
Chen Mobai checked the route and booked a plane ticket for tomorrow morning.
The reason he didn’t go back today was that there was one more person who needed to be comforted here.
In the villa on mountaintop, Chen Mobai, who had worked all day, cuddled Meng Huang, who was sweating from the heat, and told her that he had to go on a business trip tomorrow.
“I see, when will you come back?”
Meng Huang seemed a little worried. Even though she had been cultivating diligently for half a year and had gained some understanding of the threshold law, she hadn’t fully learned it yet. She was afraid that her progress would stall as soon as Chen Mobai left, and all her previous efforts would be wasted.
“I can’t be sure, possibly at the end of the year.”
According to the predetermined schedule, the final round of the Purple Electric Sword choosing its master was to be held at the end of this year. Chen Mobai was going there to check out the twelve peerless sword cultivation geniuses and see what was going on.
If they didn’t affect the final round, he might return right away, or he might stay there for half a year.
“How about I go with you?”
Meng Huang gave it some thought. She only had half a year left, so she took a deep breath and stepped forward, hoping to stay with Chen Mobai, her excellent teacher, during this time.
“Well… okay, you can book a ticket too.”
Naturally, Chen Mobai wanted to refuse. But seeing Meng Huang’s hopeful yet anxious eyes, he understood her thoughts. Considering that she was just one step away from mastering the threshold law, he finally nodded his head and decided to take her along in hopes of quickly completing the contract and saving himself from the long-term trouble.
