Chapter 2480 - 1106: Reunion with Meng Huang
Chapter 2480: Chapter 1106: Reunion with Meng Huang
Chen Mobai stayed at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains for a while. After confirming that the Immortal Skill of Patching Heaven had no side effects, he left with peace of mind.
The subsequent research was naturally handed over to the Three Extremes and Yuan Xu; both were experts in this area.
At this moment, the Three Extremes also learned about the Primordial Bead, and couldn’t help but be greatly shocked.
After returning to the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai received some bad news.
Hong Mengkui had reached the end of his lifespan.
He was the teacher who introduced Chen Mobai to artifact refining, so both emotionally and logically, he had to go and see him.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xuan also rushed over, and the two went to the hospital to visit together.
“In my lifetime, seeing the academy produce two God-Transcending cultivators, I can die content.”
Seeing Chen Mobai and Cheng Xuan, Hong Mengkui lying on the hospital bed smiled and took his last breath.
“Teacher!!”
Bian Jingchun on the other side of the bed saw this and burst into tears.
Chen Mobai sighed.
On the path of cultivation, one can only keep moving forward. Once stalled, the seemingly long lifespan will eventually be exhausted and dissipate under the passage of time.
Even though he is now a God-Transcending cultivator, refining the Big Tree Immortal Fruit could allow him to live for over two thousand years, but there will still come a day when he ages and dies.
To truly be immortal and endlessly youthful, one must achieve Harmonization and share lifespan with Heaven and Earth.
But even Heaven and Earth will decay and collapse; once the universe of a True Immortal of Unity falls into a final catastrophe, they too will turn to nothingness.
Thus, one must transcend to the other shore and prove eternity.
At this moment, Chen Mobai understood the senior brothers and sisters of the first row in the Purple Cloud Palace.
With their cultivation realm, they are already immortal, yet still harbor anxiety and desire transcendence.
Hong Mengkui had no wife, so his affairs were handled by his disciple Bian Jingchun. Seeing her emotional fluctuations, Chen Mobai asked Zhuang Jialan to stay and help.
According to Hong Mengkui’s last wishes, his lifespan magic artifact, the Cloud Thunder Bow, was sealed with the Device Nurturing Sphere and placed in the Treasure Trove.
Cheng Xuan personally handled this matter.
When Hong Mengkui entered the Daoist Academy, Cheng Xuan had just formed his Nascent Soul and assumed the position of principal, so he got to see his growth, from the Core Formation, youthful vigor, to eventually white-haired and aged.
Hong Mengkui dedicated his entire life to the Red City Cave Heaven and the Dance Tool Dao Academy, so after the burial, a memorial service was held to commemorate his contributions over the years to the local area and the artifact-refining industry.
Besides Chen Mobai and Cheng Xuan attending in person, so did the teachers from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, members of the Artifact Refiner Association, and many alumni who came upon hearing the news.
Chen Mobai encountered an unexpected person.
Meng Huanger.
She was wearing a simple, elegant black long dress, a white flower pinned to her chest, with the skirt trailing on the ground, wearing a black hat, and her expression was solemn and dignified.
When Chen Mobai looked over, their eyes met; he immediately nodded, then asked Zhuang Jialan beside him a question.
In such settings, it was not appropriate for the two to communicate, and transmitting a voice might pique Cheng Xuan’s curiosity.
Zhuang Jialan, being in charge of most of the memorial service, indeed knew why Meng Huanger was here; she and Bian Jingchun had unified the invitation under the name of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.
Meng Huanger is now the head of the Arts Department at Red City Cave Heaven and is considered a successful alumna, so she is notified of any events at the Dance Tool Dao Academy.
Knowing this, Chen Mobai was slightly relieved.
After becoming transcendent, he had originally planned to visit Yan Bingxuan for comfort, then take some time to see Meng Huanger. Still, the upcoming events left him no time until now.
But the best part about Meng Huanger is that she never complained.
When Chen Mobai went to visit her, she was very happy. When he didn’t, while she would feel a little disappointed, she wouldn’t disturb him either.
This encounter at Hong Mengkui’s memorial wasn’t Meng Huanger deliberately appearing in front of Chen Mobai, but truly coincidental.
After knowing this, Chen Mobai felt a faint pang of guilt.
He thought about finding an opportunity to meet after handling current matters, to listen to her recount the yearning and experiences over the years.
While he was thinking this, Meng Huanger was already gracefully stepping onto the stage, conducting the performers of the day at the memorial service to play the mournful music.
This was a spontaneous action by Meng Huanger; whenever there are events now at Red City Cave Heaven and Dance Tool Dao Academy, she is often invited to organize music and dance rehearsals.
Since last time, after the isolation from Death God’s Tribulation ended, Meng Huanger decided considering her age, she withdrew from the entertainment circle and is currently an artist renowned for both virtue and artistry in the Immortal Gate.
After Chen Mobai finished his speech on stage, he saw Bian Jingchun, the family representative, with red eyes and a look of grief, and couldn’t help but comfort, “Teacher Hong’s greatest wish was to form his Nascent Soul. As his student, you can fulfill it on his behalf.”
Hearing Chen Mobai’s words, a faint light appeared in the sorrowful eyes of Bian Jingchun.
“Thank you, True Monarch, for your comfort.”
Seeing Bian Jingchun regain her spirits, Chen Mobai nodded reassuringly.
Leaving Zhuang Jialan to continue helping with the memorial meeting, Chen Mobai and Meng Huang exchanged a look, and then left first with Cheng Xuan.
As Divine Transformation True Monarchs, although they appeared calm, their aura was overwhelmingly strong, making everyone hesitant to speak loudly.
Evening.
Chen Mobai arrived at the mountaintop villa near the Daoist Academy where Meng Huang lived. It was their love nest during their school days at the academy.
After waiting for a while, Meng Huang flew in from the balcony on the second floor.
Due to her special relationship with Chen Mobai, she rarely came here to avoid being noticed unless informed.
“I usually live in the apartment assigned by the public in the Red City Cave Heaven…”
Meng Huang flew in, saw Chen Mobai sitting on the sofa, and naturally sat beside him, starting to talk about her experiences over the years.
As a Golden Core Cultivator of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, with Hua Zijing’s help, her transfer from Wangwu Cave Heaven was smooth.
Initially, she worked as the head of the Arts Department in Mingyi City next to the Red City Cave Heaven. After a few years, the head of the Arts Department here retired, allowing her transfer to be seamless.
“I’ve been busy with cultivation these years and have somewhat neglected you…”
Chen Mobai, holding Meng Huang’s hand she extended, apologized, but before he could finish, his lips were sealed by her fiery kiss.
Somehow, she was already pressed closely to his embrace.
The night seemed dim, with gusts of wind outside the window. However, Chen Mobai heard the vibrant vitality spreading through the mountains, signaling an imminent return to life as clouds and rain caressed the earth.
“I’ve yet to congratulate you in person for your ascension to the Way of God Transformation!”
After the rain cleared, Meng Huang rested her flushed cheeks on Chen Mobai, offering a long overdue congratulation.
“I owe part of my success to you. The Shocking God Sonata you played at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains helped mend my final flaw.”
Chen Mobai sincerely thanked Meng Huang.
Among his four women, Meng Huang might have the lowest talent and cultivation, but her assistance was significant.
Her Original Yin was crucial during his Core Formation.
Her Heartstring Mystical Sound also played a key role in mastering the Law of the Five Tones, thanks to their mental and spiritual unity during the Shocking God Sonata. Chen Mobai suspected that if not for their frequent intimate unions, where he pre-absorbed the Great Tao’s mystical sounds through their spiritual harmony, achieving the Law of the Five Tones realm might not have been so seamless.
After mastering the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, Chen Mobai gained new insights into destiny, fate, and such matters.
He felt that perhaps Meng Huang was destined to help him perfect the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun diagram.
“With your high talents, you would achieve God Transformation even without me eventually.”
Meng Huang shook her head, aware of her basic nature, acknowledging that reaching her current state was due to Chen Mobai’s guidance and a flood of resources.
“No, you’re the one I’ve chosen!”
Chen Mobai insisted.
Meng Huang’s cheeks, still blushed, showed an unprecedented look of emotion.
She feared Chen Mobai would disregard her after achieving God Transformation.
After all, God Transformation is the pinnacle of the Immortal Gate.
With such status, obtaining any woman is just a matter of waving his hand.
Fortunately, Chen Mobai remained the same Chen Mobai, not leaving her due to an elevation in status.
The next morning, Meng Huang reluctantly parted.
She had a meeting to attend today.
But there weren’t many matters in the Arts Department, so she had plenty of free time, which she previously spent practicing the Technique of Turning into Gold, and now often spent at the mountaintop villa.
Chen Mobai crafted her a hundred Short Teleportation Talismans, each corresponding to her office, home, the villa, his principal’s office, and more, ensuring usage for several years.
Happy times always pass swiftly.
That day, as Chen Mobai was preparing to design a Rank-5 Fairy Garment using the Golden Flame Manticore’s hide and refining diagrams from the Immortal Gate, he received a call from Yuan Xu.
The research on the Qingping Immortal Technique of Patching Heaven had reached a conclusion, and all findings from him and the Three Extremes were organized and sent to Chen Mobai’s email.
After reading, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but admire their professionalism, noting many details that could have saved his Second Primeval Spirit significant Essence had he known them before the technique’s execution.
However, for him, the most crucial aspect was that this Immortal Technique was trouble-free.
With this assurance, he could apply it to himself.
Anticipating comprehending the Tao after achieving the Five Elements Immortal Spirit Root, Chen Mobai informed Qi Yuheng and others that he had gained insights in cultivation and would be in retreat for some time.
He had long decided to go to the Tianhe Realm for this enlightenment.
After informing the upper echelons of the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai also didn’t forget to tell the deeply entwined Meng Huang.
Though being with her was joyful, cultivation priorities ultimately had to be set aside for a while.
