I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 490: Prominent Family_1

“Who are you?”

Only at this moment did Zhongli Tianyu finally react. He raised his hand to touch his forehead, looking at the fine-looking young man in front of him and asking.

“I’m Chen Mobai, we enrolled at the same time. We’ve met before, but at that time you were on the stage and I was below it, so you might not have noticed me.”

Chen Mobai said with a smile.

During the enrollment ceremony, Zhongli Tianyu was on stage giving a speech as a representative of the new students while he watched from below.

“So you’re Chen Mobai!”

Apparently, Zhongli Tianyu was familiar with that name. Even though he spent these seven years cultivating in Treasure Trove, he still came out for the exams to obtain credits at the end of each year. Naturally, he had heard of this most well-known classmate in these last two years.

“That’s right, as you know I’m currently the Student Council President, but I may have to go on an internship in a couple of years. Looking around the entire Daoist Academy, you seem to be the only one capable of taking over my position, so I’d like to take you with me this time.”

“But we’re in the same grade.”

Zhongli Tianyu couldn’t help but interject. He was already in his seventh year and in two years’ time, at most, he would only serve as President for a year.

“That’s okay, even holding the position for a one year still counts.”

In the next couple of years, Chen Mobai decided to focus on trade between the two realms. The student council was no longer of much help to him. He planned to follow in the footsteps of Zuo Qiushi, finding a suitable replacement to step down and pass the torch.

“If you can defeat me, I’ll agree. But I demand that you fight me once a year.”

After some thought, Zhongli Tianyu, for reasons known only to himself, made this rather self-abasing condition.

“Sure, meet me at the Student Council residence in half a month, and we’ll set off together.”

“I don’t know where the Student Council’s residence is.”

Just as Chen Mobai was about to leave, Zhongli Tianyu suddenly made a surprising comment.

“During those seven years in the Treasure Trove, were you just cultivating?”

“Pretty much. When there was thunder, I would leave the Treasure Trove to comprehend the evolution of thunderbolts.”

Zhongli Tianyu answered honestly. Chen Mobai looked at his clear, innocent expression and couldn’t help but marvel that there was such a person in this world.

“Don’t you have any other hobbies besides cultivating?”

“Does reading manga count?”

“It does.”

Finally, Chen Mobai understood why Zhongli Tianyu had developed such a personality. Turned out he was quite the homebody.

“Do you want to open this Device Nurturing Sphere?”

Before leaving, Zhongli Tianyu pointed at the one between the root system of the Fire Spirit Tree and the broken stones. His comment made Chen Mobai wonder if he had missed out on some treasure. ʀÄℕÓᛒËᶊ

After activating his Void Spirit Eye to give it another look, he confirmed his previous appraisal result was correct. It was a triangular array plate.

“It’s of no use to me, let’s just leave it here.”

“The array plate sealed within this Sphere has absorbed quite a bit of the power from the Li Gua, the Separation Symbol. If your mirror could absorb it, it could be very beneficial.”

Zhongli Tianyu’s words brought Chen Mobai to a halt.

“Can you also see through Device Nurturing Spheres?”

“Before, I could only see the natural energy condensed from ‘Wind Thunder’, now there’s also ‘fire’.”

As Zhongli Tianyu spoke, he brushed aside his bangs to reveal his right eye. In his pupils, a Separation Symbol faintly appeared and disappeared.

“Even though you haven’t opened this Device Nurturing Sphere, you can already use the power of a Separation Symbol fragment?”

“The Device Nurturing Sphere sealing the Bagua Mirror was made by someone in our clan, so I don’t need a Device Piece to summon Fire Godlight and can open it already. After obtaining the item, the seal was essentially already unsealed.”

The Device Nurturing Sphere that was sealing the mirror fragment ignited in Zhongli Tianyu’s palm and melted into a white jade liquid, revealing an irregularly shaped mirror fragment with a faintly visible Separation Symbol on the mirror surface.

Zhongli Tianyu held his Bagua Mirror and fit the fragment into it like a puzzle piece in a corner. Soon, the Bagua Mirror emitted a fiery red Spiritual Light, transmitting a wave of joyful fluctuations.

“Your clan sealed the Bagua Mirror fragments in the Device Nurturing Spheres and placed them all over the academy, aren’t they afraid other students might happen upon them?”

“If someone really does take it, then retrieving it becomes part of my cultivation.”

Zhongli Tianyu spoke in a calm tone, saying something that Chen Mobai didn’t quite understand.

“What do you think of my cultivation speed?”

“Very fast, throughout the whole Immortal’s Door, I doubt you’d find anyone faster.” Chen Mobai spoke truthfully but in his mind, he thought: [Apart from me, of course.]

“With the Bagua Mirror, ‘The Union of Differences’, and the resources of the Daoist Academy, my speed will remain this way until I make a breakthrough in my major cultivation realm. But it has been a thousand years since our family’s ancestor passed away, and not a single one of us has managed to complete ‘Nascent Soul Formation’. The reason is that our cultivation speed is too fast, and we lack refinement.”

By the time Zhongli Tianyu finished speaking, Chen Mobai had already reached the Fire Spirit Tree and taken the Device Nurturing Sphere.

“So a hundred years ago, the clan nurtured the shattered and downgraded Bagua Mirror fragments in various places in the Immortal’s Door. They also chose me as the host for the Bagua Mirror, starting a process of cultivation called ‘recombination’.”

“The clan demands that I gather all the Bagua Mirror fragments, believing it would slow down my cultivation speed and also refine my foundation. It’s agreed that no matter what difficulties or hardships I encounter, I should solve them by myself.”

“Besides this, they also want me to figure out a way to obtain the spiritual objects required for Core Formation on my own.”

When he finished speaking, Zhongli Tianyu’s expression did not change. Chen Mobai’s first thought after listening to him was: [Is this what they call a prominent family?]
