Chapter 343: Chapter 274: Playing Gods and Controlling Qi_1
Crimson City’s Great Theater.
In the center of the front row, Chen Mobai clasped his right hand into a fist and rested it on his cheek, his eyes half-closed as he listened to the celestial-like voice of Meng Huang rehearsing on stage.
Next to him were Bian Yiqing, Hua Zijing, and other student council members.
Chen Mobai was a man who kept his word.
Even after chatting with Meng Huang and realizing that he might have been manipulated by Zuo Qiushi, he still held onto his words, never retreating from his commitment.
Consequently, he spent the past few days personally leading the student council’s key personnel, responding to Bian Yiqing’s call, and coming to the cave in Crimson City to help.
As expected, his integration with the Divine, which was slightly deficient, under the healing power of Meng Huang’s song, completed its final stage of unity.
In the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, a green paulownia with two branches and over twenty buds took root.
This signified the formation of Chen Mobai’s Divine Consciousness, which was considered his personal destiny.
If he were cultivating the “Union of Differences” and using the non-physical puppet to infer, this would be the form of his integrating object.
Unfortunately, the Rank-4 green paulownia in the Red Sandstone City was taken by Master Shi Qing; otherwise, he would really consider switching to “The Union of Differences”.
After all, Zhongli Tianyu served as a great example. If he could truly transform the green paulonia to his integrating object, perhaps he wouldn’t need the Tree Fruit and could reach Foundation Establishment Perfection in a short time.
But this was merely wishful thinking, as cultivating the “Union of Differences” required even stricter criteria than the Pure Yang Scroll.
Chen Mobai tried inferring it once with the non-physical puppet and found his compatibility with this divine transformation technique average.
The Pure Yang Scroll suited him better. As long as he was armed with a Spirit Stone, it could step by step elevate his Fire Spirit Root to a Heavenly Spirit Root. There was no need to worry about elusive compatibility or chance.
After merging the Divine into One, the Divine Manipulation Technique was trained to its final level… “Steering Ether with Wandering Mind”.
At this realm level, reality and virtual space can be affected with Divine Consciousness.
As a result of division and fusion, Chen Mobai’s Divine Consciousness seemed to have undergone a transformation, elevating in quality.
With a thought, a bud from the Green Paulownia rooted in the central Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion broke off from the branch, transforming into an intangible thought knife.
This was the “Divine Slash”!
Against opponents with Divine Consciousness below his own, he could deliver a decisive kill in a split second.
Even for opponents with higher Divine Consciousness levels, he could use this move to disrupt the opponent’s mind and find the key to victory.
If he had developed this move earlier, he wouldn’t have been forced to reveal all his cards against Zuo Qiushi in order to win.
Chen Mobai carefully counted; the green paulownia now had two branches, each bearing twenty-three buds, suggesting he could launch twenty-three “Divine Slashes”.
On two branches, apart from buds, there were two paulownia fruits.
If Chen Mobai didn’t hesitate to use up the source of his Divine Consciousness and utilized the fruits to perform “Divine Slash”, even a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator might not be able to withstand it.
But his first thought was to continue to divide the Green Paulownia.
After all, “Divine Manipulation Technique” could be practiced repeatedly.
Chen Mobai decided that after a while, when he adapted to the sudden doubling of his Divine Consciousness after integrating it into one, he would continue to split the Green Paulownia Seedling and divide his mind into thoughts.
Moreover, with the increase in Divine Consciousness, he could consider refining the remaining half of the Green Wood Spirit Heart.
“President …”
Just as he was considering how to further enhance his abilities, a familiar voice from outside snapped him out of his thoughts.
“Hmm, has the rehearsal finished?”
Chen Mobai woke up, opened his eyes, and looked at the stage, only to see that the performers were already tidying up various props.
“Yes, you said you would be leaving the rehearsal for another date with a superstar.”
Hua Zijing said grumpily.
Originally, she wasn’t on the list for this exchange meeting. But Chen Mobai, feeling that he wasn’t familiar with the student council members and would be exhausted if he led the team personally, specifically called her for help.
He also enlisted Shen Renyou, who was originally in charge of this.
Bian Yiqing was overjoyed to see Chen Mobai, the newly elected president of the student council, bring along two vice-presidents to help in person.
But when Chen Mobai came backstage after rehearsal ended and had a brief chat with Meng Huang, Bian Yiqing realized that things weren’t as straightforward as he thought.
However, he was just a teacher and wouldn’t attempt to forcefully interfere.
Yet considering Chen Mobai’s unclear relationship with that Heavenly Spirit Root in Danxia City, Bian Yiqing subtly reminded Meng Huang to see a man’s true colors before making any commitments.
Over this period, the relationship between Chen Mobai and Meng Huang gradually warmed, and two days ago, they even started dining out together.
However, during the first dinner, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Meng Huang brought along her senior fellow, Jiang Yuyuan, and Chen Mobai brought Hua Zijing as a cover.
The cautious interaction over the past few days between Chen Mobai and Meng Huang had left both Jiang Yuyuan and Hua Zijing feeling quite uncomfortable.
Seeing that it was nearly time for lunch, Hua Zijing was rather unwilling.
She didn’t want to be the third wheel, and if it hadn’t been for the chance to see the handsome Jiang Yuyuan, she would never have agreed to this.
“I have something to do today, so I’ll go back first.”
After merging the Divine into One, Chen Mobai’s control over the latest realm of the Divine Manipulation Technique, “Steering Ether with Wandering Mind”, was still slightly unstable, so he felt returning and closing himself off for a few days would be the better option.
