Chapter 2786 - 1290: Heavenly Sovereign’s Intelligence (Supplemental Owed Update)
"Please forgive me, Senior. For such ancient beings like the Heavenly Sovereign, we are not qualified to make decisions." Black Impermanence said.
Chen Mobai heard this and slightly frowned.
He had finally made up his mind to deal with the Impermanence Pavilion, but didn’t expect the first business to be so troublesome.
"Is there anyone who can make decisions in the East Continent?" But since the Impermanence Talisman has already been used today, it definitely cannot be wasted, Chen Mobai asked.
"Please wait a moment, Senior, we will report to our superiors."
While Black Impermanence was speaking, he extended his hand and pressed palms together with White Impermanence beside him. Immediately, Chen Mobai felt the surrounding void twist, as if a strange force was operating through Great Dao Rules he did not understand, transferring to a distant place.
Is this the inheritance of the Impermanence Pavilion?
Chen Mobai was curious, thanks to his achieved understanding of the Void Great Dao, he vaguely sensed that they were leveraging the powers of the Underworld.
The Living World and the Underworld are separated by void barriers, some thick and some thin.
Those thin spots, by chance, can be broken through, which is what is known as the Yellow Springs Path.
Perhaps it was because the Heavenly Sovereign was once in the Eastern Wilderness that the void barriers between the Living World and the Underworld here are almost nonexistent in some places.
For example, the Primordial Ancestral Master was exploring a Yellow Springs Path when he encountered a formidable ghost cultivator; although he barely escaped and sealed the Yellow Springs Path, he still suffered heavy injuries and passed away.
Considering the name of the Impermanence Pavilion and their secretive behavior, Chen Mobai increasingly felt it was a ghost cultivator organization.
At that moment, Black and White Impermanence separated their palms, creating a dark gap in the void, which was then ripped open forcefully by the two of them.
Above the desolate mountain, a deep and shadowy hole appeared, emanating a cold and familiar aura that Chen Mobai recognized very well.
A middle-aged cultivator, wearing a square hat, dressed in a red robe, holding a wooden tablet, flat-nosed and deep-faced, emerged from within. Despite looking extremely ugly, he exuded a majestic presence.
The most critical aspect was the strong aura he exuded, which made Chen Mobai slightly serious.
Undoubtedly, this was a God-Transcending cultivator.
"Greetings to the Lord of East Continent!"
Upon his emergence, Black and White Impermanence immediately knelt giving grand homage.
"I didn’t expect that Mr. Chen would trigger the Impermanence Talisman, I, Dong Tai, am the East Continent Lord of Impermanence Pavilion, considered the supervisor here." The middle-aged cultivator nodded to signal Black and White Impermanence to rise, then smiled slightly and introduced himself to Chen Mobai.
"Greetings, Mr. Dong, I didn’t expect your sect to have a God-Transcending patrolling on the East Continent. This must mean that East Continent essentially has five Great Holy Lands," Chen Mobai nodded, responding politely. He then casually waved his hand, instantly setting up a table with tea sets, preparing to entertain as a host.
"Although Impermanence Pavilion has some reputation, because we follow the path of ghost cultivation, we don’t like coming to light," Dong Tai didn’t stand on ceremony, sat cross-legged across from Chen Mobai, and narrated their inheritance and background.
After listening, Chen Mobai nodded thoughtfully.
However, upon seeing Dong Tai emerge, he had internally confirmed him as a ghost cultivator.
This was because the divine skill that appeared out of nowhere was almost identical to the Mingfu Zhi Men exhibited by Ming Zun.
Both operated through Yin and Yang Realms.
"I wonder what relationship your sect has with the Tongyou Demon Sect?"
Chen Mobai also didn’t hold back and asked directly.
"There is some connection," Dong Tai replied simply.
"Since there’s nothing else today, you may tell the story in detail, Mr. Dong." Chen Mobai brewed a pot of Enlightenment Tea, pouring a cup for the East Continent Lord of Impermanence Pavilion.
Without hesitation, Dong Tai accepted it and drank it all in one go, then squinted for a moment before exhaling deeply.
"I’ve long heard the Blue Emperor has an Immortal Tea Tree left by the Heavenly Sovereign. Drinking it can enlighten the Great Tao, and it indeed lives up to its reputation."
Chen Mobai was slightly surprised that Enlightenment Tea worked for ghost cultivators, but considering Dong Tai was already at the Spirit Transformation Stage, perhaps he had refined a physical body.
"The Tongyou Qu Shen Spirit Capturing of the Eighteen Demon Sects are all originated from our Impermanence Pavilion; the earliest ghost cultivation technique of Tianhe Realm was passed down by us."
Dong Tai’s statement caused Chen Mobai to raise his eyebrows, which meant it was the Demon Path of the Demon Path.
What about the management of Central State?
"In the past, the Ghost Mother had nine sons; the youngest was our Pavilion’s ancestor, named Ming Luo. During the Ghost Mother and Mother of Water’s battle for the Great Dao authority, he was still in the womb. When Mother of Water killed the Ghost Mother, she discovered the ancestor’s existence and had compassion, preserving him."
"Afterwards, Mother of Water personally guided and nurtured the ancestor, and it was under her guidance that he created the ghost cultivation method."
"So in terms of inheritance, we belong to the lineage of Jellyfish Palace."
After hearing these words, Chen Mobai understood why the Impermanence Pavilion is a Holy Land because it has a background; their ancestor was raised personally by the Mother of Water.
However, Mother of Water killing the elder and preserving the younger isn’t quite aligned with the local customs.
Shouldn’t the entire family be wiped out to prevent future troubles?
Thinking of this, Chen Mobai felt a chill in his heart, realizing his thoughts had become increasingly extreme recently.
This Mother of Water harbors no grudge and raises the enemy’s child to adulthood, a deed deserving praise.
The blame should lie with the Tianhe Realm for failing to inherit Mother of Water’s benevolent practices, allowing corruption to run rampant for so many years, which had stained him as well.
"Cough, however, after a long time there will still be some degenerates, coupled with the Ghost Cultivator’s techniques of neither living nor dying, many of my fellows have lost sanity and humanity over the ages, leading some ill-intentioned individuals to fall into the Demon Path. The ancestral master of Qu Shen Demon Sect was actually a lord from our sect who fell."
"The origin of Spirit Capturing Demon Sect started from a piece of Bone Jade our sect lord dug out from the depths of Netherworld, but unexpectedly it contained remnants of the Ghost Mother’s soul, eventually bringing about the largest Ghost Mother disaster in the East Continent. Because of this, our sect keeps a low profile here in the East Continent to avoid accountability to the Generation Emperor."
"The origin of Tongyou Demon Sect, fellow cultivator should have heard about it..."
After Dong Tai finished, Chen Mobai recalled some things he knew, his eyes slightly changed.
The Eastern Emperor Court weakened after two major disasters, one Ghost Mother, one Nine-Headed Great Saint, both seemed full of conspiracy.
Anyway, he certainly didn’t believe that a ghost cultivator sect like the Impermanence Pavilion didn’t know the Bone Jade contained remnants of the Ghost Mother.
But since they said so, and the Generation Emperor didn’t pursue it, it seemed like the upper echelons had already decided, so he cautiously believed it.
"I see, I was presumptuous, didn’t expect your sect to be descendants of the Mother of Water." Chen Mobai’s words moved the conversation along.
"Not at all, it’s just a connection with the Mother of Water, similar to the Dao Morale Sect. I heard from Black and White Impermanence that fellow cultivator wanted information on the Heavenly Sovereign?" Dong Tai drank another cup of Enlightenment Tea, feeling its near-useless effect, with slight regret, remembering the reason for his visit.
"Yes, fellow cultivator should know, my achievements today are entirely due to inheriting the Longevity Sect. The sudden disappearance of the Heavenly Sovereign and the Longevity Sect one night has always concerned me. I heard your sect possesses this information, so I obtained an Impermanence Talisman to inquire." Chen Mobai spoke solemnly, reiterating his request.
"Fellow cultivator should know, we charge dearly, especially for information on beings like the Heavenly Sovereign with Great Divine Power." Dong Tai nodded, implying the Impermanence Pavilion knew the Heavenly Sovereign’s situation, which pleased Chen Mobai slightly.
"What’s the price, fellow cultivator? I’ll see if I can afford it." Chen Mobai asked, due to his frugal upbringing, always inquiring to avoid potential embarrassment.
"Heavenly Sovereign’s information in our sect is deemed Seventh Rank, requiring equivalent Seventh Rank knowledge in exchange, either a Seventh Rank Cultivation Technique or other Seventh Rank information unknown to our sect."
Listening to this, Chen Mobai’s eyes widened.
Thinking the Impermanence Pavilion must be crazy.
Seventh Rank knowledge is rare in the East Continent, for instance, Yi Yuan Dao Palace only possesses the "Primordial Golden Dou." As for Dao Morale Sect or Nine Heavens Morality Sect, Chen Mobai isn’t sure if they possess it in the Tianhe Realm. Locally, it’s presumed one only acquires Seventh Rank knowledge upon Void Refining Ascension.
"Fellow cultivator, at this price, can anyone afford it in the Tianhe Realm?" Even someone like Chen Mobai from the Immortal Gate was shocked by the Impermanence Pavilion’s asking price.
"There are some willing to pay. After fellow cultivator returned from the Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulation with a Kui Beast’s corpse and rose to fame, several customers purchased information on the Heavenly Sovereign from us." Dong Tai revealed this message.
Besides Taixu Immortal, who else? Vast Energy Immortal? Or Central Demonic Path’s master?
These figures flashed in Chen Mobai’s mind, realizing they were truly willing.
Seventh Rank knowledge would be valuable and hard to exchange even for them.
"Can it be paid with physical objects?" Though Chen Mobai wasn’t very concerned about the Primordial Golden Dou, it was left by the Yi Yuan True Monarch, spreading in places like the Five Elements Sect was acceptable, but giving it to the Impermanence Pavilion would make meeting the nominal ancestral master difficult after Ascendance.
"Fellow cultivator, for Seventh Rank knowledge the requirements are quite broad. For physical objects, even lowering the rank, perhaps Sixth Rank Magic Artifact, fellow cultivator would probably hesitate, although we’re willing." Dong Tai advised, making Chen Mobai feel the Impermanence Pavilion was inconsiderate.
"I meant Sixth Rank materials." Chen Mobai, who once obtained Six Roots Pure Bamboo from the West Continent, had Qing Nu comprehend the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture over the years and returned it to him.
For the Heavenly Sovereign’s records, he could exchange it with that, but using the Primordial Yang Sword or Primordial Clock, only if he lost his mind.
"Fellow cultivator, Heavenly Sovereign’s information, as I mentioned, is classified Seventh Rank. Sixth Rank materials, unless like the Sixth Rank Soul Nourishing Wood with Yin attributes beneficial to ghost cultivators, even Sixth Rank Magic Artifacts wouldn’t interest us if the attributes don’t match."
Dong Tai’s words clearly expressed refusal.
"Seems like there’s no way to close this deal."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai decided against offering the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, shaking his head with regret, preparing to leave.
"Seems fellow cultivator thinks this information on the Heavenly Sovereign isn’t worth exchanging for Seventh Rank knowledge."
Seeing Chen Mobai prepared to leave, Dong Tai understood his intention.
"Indeed, and Seventh Rank knowledge delves into our sect’s core heritage, forgive me for not offering it for unverifiable information." Chen Mobai nodded, stating the crucial point.
The Impermanence Pavilion’s credibility wasn’t enough for Chen Mobai to wager on such precious things.
"In that case, let me offer fellow cultivator a free excerpt from the records." Dong Tai greatly desired this deal, believing Chen Mobai, as the Heavenly Sovereign’s heir, would surely buy this information.
Offering a snippet, confident that Chen Mobai would take the bait.
"Please, fellow cultivator." Chen Mobai, indeed, sat back down, pouring tea once more.
"Because the realms of living and underworld are imperfect and reincarnation incomplete, the Heavenly Sovereign, after stepping into Harmonization, entered a bizarre state of neither living nor dying..."
