Chapter 448: Chapter 321 Divine Consciousness Breakthrough_2

Chen Mobai was taught by Che Yucheng, and learned the art of puppet mastery, although he hadn’t paid much attention to it earlier due to his focus on cultivating the basic Pure Yang Scroll.

Therefore, he dedicated these two days to learn more. While Che Yucheng found it a bit strange, he was nonetheless delighted to see his disciple willing to learn the puppetry technique.

Under the careful guidance of a Golden Core Cultivator, Chen Mobai learned the trick quickly.

His real body and the faceless puppet looked at each other. Following the techniques taught by Che Yucheng, the puppet’s face and skin transformed until it resembled another Chen Mobai.

The feeling of looking at oneself was very novel.

After the puppet body was successfully created. Chen Mobai even let it attend the student council on his behalf. Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan didn’t notice that the person they’ve spent the entire day with was just a puppet.

Chen Mobai was very pleased.

In the future, his real body and the faceless puppet could separately oversee the student council and the Divine Wood Sect. When his real body was busy, the puppet could manage things on its behalf.

After finishing most of the preparations, Chen Mobai returned to the Tianhe Realm for a while.

His real body stayed in a desolate mountain, while his divine sense controlled the faceless puppet on a trip to the Rolling Thunder Mountain.

The whole place was charred black. The spiritual energy was mixed with a putrid smell. Fortunately, as it was a puppet body that didn’t need to absorb spiritual energy and relied solely on the superior spirit stone in its body for energy, it did not get affected.

“Could this be the… Bead that Breaks Meridians!”

Although Chen Mobai hasn’t seen this situation before, he had heard about the Bead that Breaks Meridians from some in the Divine Wood Sect. The current status of Rolling Thunder Mountain looked like the aftermath of a blast by the Bead that Breaks Meridians, where the veins of the earth were tainted by ancient poison.

If the clan of Nan Shi truly used such a lethal weapon, it was no wonder that Fu Zongjue could not hold them off.

With the Spirit Vein of Rolling Thunder Mountain contaminated, no cultivator could be found in the vicinity anymore.

Chen Mobai could only feel regretful and then issued a few message talismans to his two disciples, Chu Zuoshu, Yue Zutao, and other acquaintances.

However, after waiting for two days, he received no response.

He could only leave the puppet body there and have his real body retreat back to the cultivation institute.

But upon his return, Chen Mobai felt something was amiss.

Being just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the sensation of having his divine sense split across two realms caused him to feel a disconcerting dizziness.

He felt as if his mind had been stretched across the ends of the earth. His instinct was to merge back into one, but due to the immeasurable distance, he could do nothing.

Thankfully, although his divine sense was divided across two realms, it did not disappear or get damaged.

During episodes of weakness and dizziness, Chen Mobai forced himself to get accustomed to the sensation.

After all, if he wanted to manage both the cultivation institute and Tianhe realm in the future, his real body and puppet body would have to remain separated in the two realms for a long time.

Luckily, the dizziness was bearable for Chen Mobai.

He opened up his chat history with Meng Huang and repeatedly played her melodious opera recording. Initially, it did offer some relief.

However, after a few plays, Chen Mobai realized that the opera no longer had any effect on him.

But he had already known this.

The songs and voices of cultivators practicing the Way of Music contained unique spiritual power fluctuations that were as melodious as the music of nature. Although the records and videos available online were pleasant to the ears, they didn’t have the same spiritual effects as hearing them live.

It was because of this that Bian Yiqing had to bring Jiang Yuyuan and Meng Huang to travel throughout the whole cultivation institute and its blessed lands to enlighten the young cultivators. Only by hearing it directly could they potentially stimulate their minds and understand the divine sense.

Of course, an immersive record bought back home initially does have some kind of spiritual effect.

However, as time passes and with each play, this spiritual effect would eventually disappear.

Chen Mobai’s voice chat history with Meng Huang has been used multiple times when he was trying to merge his divine sense into one for the first time.

But now, its spiritual effect had all been drained.

Thinking about it, it seemed like he hadn’t contacted Meng Huang in a long time.

He wondered whether she had found any opportunity to reach the threshold of laws after failing her Foundation Establishment during her tour around the cultivation institute.

With that thought, Chen Mobai sent Meng Huang a long overdue message.

[Are you there?]

He waited for a long time, but there was no response.

She must be busy, maybe singing a song.

With this thought in mind, Chen Mobai felt his head slightly alleviate from dizziness after listening to Meng Huang’s opera. He didn’t want to bother her further and had to distract himself.

He opened his friends list.

Chen Mobai was surprised to see that Qing Nu, who he’d marked as special, was online. He sent her an emoji out of curiosity.

[What’s up?]

Qing Nu promptly replied with three words.

Chen Mobai: [Are you at school at the end of the year?]

Qing Nu: [I should be.]

Chen Mobai: [What do you mean you should be (question face)]

Qing Nu: [I recently joined a department of a Dao sect under the recommendation of my advisor to prepare to obtain the Jade Return Pill after graduation. The department occasionally assigns me urgent tasks, and I just finished assisting in the creation of a large batch of Golden Wind and Dew Cream, so I’m currently free. But I can’t say the same about the end of the year. Why do you ask? Are you looking to visit me during the holidays instead of returning to Red Sandstone City?]

Qing Nu and Chen Mobai have a deep friendship. They met at a time when they were insignificant, and know each other well through incidents involving Kong Feichen and Yang Jing. Hence, Qing Nu’s speech is casual and direct.

Chen Mobai: [Exactly, I’m bringing a team to attend the offline exchange forum organized by your Daoist Academy at the end of the year. I thought we haven’t met for three years, we might be able to gather this year.]

Qing Nu:[I almost forgot you are now the head of Dance Tool Dao Academy. I’ll try my best, but the department I joined has strict rules, so I can’t promise I’ll be available.]

Upon reading this, Chen Mobai responded with a “Okay” emoji.

Then he inquired about the three kinds of longevity elixirs offered at the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute and asked if she could prepare them if he provided the medicinal herbs.

Qing Nu: [Probably not, these specialized elixirs typically require dedicated cultivation pools and pill furnaces to prepare. In other words, the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute orders pill-refining magical instruments from large equipment factories to refine the elixirs in a way that minimizes failure rates and potential toxicity.]

Qing Nu:[If I were to refine these myself without the tailor-made instruments, I’d probably have to fail a few times before finally getting it right. Even then, the toxin content would likely exceed the limit.]

Qing Nu:[It would be too wasteful. For these specific elixirs, it’s better to just buy them directly. By the way, why do you need to replenish your life span?]

Chen Mobai:[It’s not for me. It’s for a friend who did some misguided things when they were younger…]

Since Qing Nu also lives in Red Sandstone City and might meet Chen Xinglan in the future, Chen Mobai thought for a moment and decided not to use his father as an excuse again.

Qing Nu: [Oh.]

After chatting a little more, Chen Mobai shared his experience of the Divine Consciousness Breakthrough, expressing his gratitude to Qing Nu once again.

After all, the Divine Manipulation Technique was specially selected by Qing Nu for him, and it indeed perfectly fit his needs.

Qing Nu: [It’s because of your exceptional talent.]

This comment warmed Chen Mobai’s heart. Praises from others didn’t feel as genuine as this simple compliment from Qing Nu.

After all, apart from the resources in the Tianhe Realm, his current success could also be attributed to the Soul Awakening Dao Pill given to him by Qing Nu.

If not for this pill, he might still be struggling like Meng Huang, worrying all day about how to establish his foundation and comprehend the critical Daoist techniques.

Thinking of this, Chen Mobai wondered if Qing Nu could exchange another Soul Awakening Dao Pill.

It wasn’t for his own use but for Meng Huang. He wondered whether he could “buy” some time at her opera house with it and solve the Divine Consciousness problem.

But after thinking it over, Chen Mobai chose not to ask.

He felt a little embarrassed and couldn’t bring himself to ask the question.

Perhaps he could hint this information to Meng Huang and let her figure out how to obtain a Soul Awakening Dao Pill.

After chatting with Qing Nu for a while longer, they wished each other goodnight.

Chen Mobai stayed up until the next transmission time and returned to the Tianhe Realm.

Withdrawing his Divine Sense from his Puppet, Chen Mobai felt a long lost sense of clarity and refreshment.

He even sensed an increase in his Divine Sense, as if this had been a good method for Divine Consciousness growth. However, it made him a bit dizzy and didn’t suit him very well.
