I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 977: Chapter 537 The Path to Heaven Chapter 977: Chapter 537 The Path to Heaven While Chen Mobai was looking at the Biyu Wutong, a woman with short hair wearing a green suit approached.

“Let’s get acquainted, I’m Gongsun Jielu.”

She took the initiative to extend her hand, and Chen Mobai was slightly surprised, but he also extended his hand politely.

“When I was at the Daoist Academy, I heard True Person Zuo Gong speak of the sword cultivators of Xianmen, saying that Vice Minister Gongsun is one of the elites.”

Chen Mobai’s words made Gongsun Jielu smile slightly, and with a wave of her hand, the domain split open and chairs and tables landed on the ground.

“They say you’re the most dazzling swordsmanship talent since Ancestor Baiguang. I’ve always wanted to meet you, but official duties kept me busy, and only now have I had the chance.”

Gongsun Jielu spoke and took her seat first, then invited Chen Mobai and Qing Nu, who was beside him, to sit as well.

“That’s an overstatement. I’m only considered decent because there is no one outstanding among my peers. Compared to you, Vice Minister Gongsun, I can only say that I am passable.”

Although what Chen Mobai was most famous for was his swordsmanship talent, in actuality, his talent in this area could only be described as ordinary compared to farming, talismans, puppets, etc.

He now dared not approach the Great Dao Tree, as his Sword Dao Realm had been stagnant at “Sword Light Shapeshifting” for some time.

Fearing that Gongsun Jielu would ask him about Sword Dao, Chen Mobai promptly became humble.

Gongsun Jielu: “I heard from Zuo Gong that he passed the Sword Destruction Collection to you.”

Chen Mobai: “Back when I was at the Daoist Academy, True Person Zuo Gong took a liking to me and gave it to me along with the Sword Control Department’s textbooks.”

In reality, it was because Zuo Gong couldn’t teach Chen Mobai anymore, so he gave him his treasured Sword Destruction Collection, considering it as having given guidance.

Gongsun Jielu: “So have you accomplished anything with it?”

Chen Mobai: “Lacking resources, I’ve achieved nothing.”

The Sword Destruction Collection required Earthly Fiendish Qi, and although with Chen Mobai’s current status, procuring a bit of Five Elements Evil Qi wouldn’t be too conspicuous, he decided to shake his head anyway, out of caution.

After all, he now had the Purple Electric Sword, and the power of the Five Elements Sword Slaughter Formation wasn’t particularly important.

Within the Immortal Sect, with his and the Purple Electric Sword’s minds in harmony, others would only think his Sword Heart was extraordinary, his talent exceptional, and his match with the Sword Artifact incredibly close.

But Earthly Fiendish Qi, within the systems of Xianmen, still had the possibility of exposure.

Gongsun Jielu: “That’s quite a pity. I heard from Zuo Gong that you mastered Sword Light Shapeshifting, capable of evolving the Five Elements Sword Light. I thought that after Core Formation, you would collect the Five Elements Evil Qi first thing and cultivate the Five Elements Sword Sha.”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai chuckled dryly twice but did not continue the conversation.

In his mind, however, he wondered how Zuo Gong could not keep things to himself and had revealed his secrets.

“The Head of Immortal Affairs is getting old and is preparing to retire. If Gongye Zhixu can’t achieve ‘Nascent Soul Formation,’ then the Righteous Law Hall Master would naturally replace him.”

Gongsun Jielu suddenly said something that caught Chen Mobai off guard, as he was interested in becoming the Sect Master but knew that there was no chance of getting involved in such high-level matters within the next hundred years.

Chen Mobai continued to stay silent, and Gongsun Jielu kept talking.

“In that case, the current Deputy Hall Master of the Dharma Hall, who is also the Enforcement Department Director, Narcissus, would naturally be promoted to become one of the Three Great Halls’ Righteous Law Hall Masters.”

“After Narcissus’ promotion, the competition for the Deputy Hall Master of the Dharma Hall would be between me and Wen Lianshan of the Sky-Mending Group. However, the chances are high that I would get it, as the Sky-Mending Group has always worked behind the scenes and doesn’t have as good a reputation as me.”

“Another reason is that I’m more suited to cultivate the Immortal Sect Sword Art.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai had a vague idea of why Gongsun Jielu was telling him all this, but he remained silent, pretending to be unaware.

“If I do become the Deputy Hall Master of the Righteous Law Hall, Wen Lianshan will likely transition from the shadows to a more public role and take up the position of Enforcement Department Director. I would be glad to make this trade with him.”

“That would mean Lan Haitian would become the leader of the Sky-Mending Group, but the Enforcement Department would lack a vice director. If you’re willing, I could arrange for you to join after this affair.”

“Later, with a little more experience and some achievements, with your cultivation level and support from both the Dance Instruments and Sky-Mending factions, as well as my backing, securing the position of vice director will be almost certain.”

After listening to all of Gongsun Jielu’s words, Chen Mobai was greatly tempted.

This could be said to be the most suitable official career path for him.

A high starting point in the Department of Law Enforcement with a clear promotional roadmap that was also highly achievable.

Becoming one of the Three Great Halls’ Masters was a childhood dream of his.

“After becoming vice director, with your stunning talent, you are bound to surpass Wen Lianshan and the others. When you become deputy hall master, you can practice the top sword artifact of the Immortal Sect, which for a sword cultivator, is considered an unparalleled scripture.”

Gongsun Jielu, seeing Chen Mobai seemed moved, added more incentives, mentioning the Immortal Sect Sword Art that all sword cultivators aspired to.

In the past, Ancestor Baiguang was, while holding the position of Righteous Law Hall Master, enlightened by the Immortal Sect Sword Art, developing the Method of Entrusting the Primordial Spirit, embarking on the path to Divinity Transformation.

However, Gongsun Jielu’s words had the opposite effect.

Chen Mobai was very clear about his own swordsmanship talent. Nowadays, within Xianmen, he was ranked alongside Ancestor Baiguang as having the Qualification of Deification, but this couldn’t be further from the truth.
