Chen Mobai put down the notebook in his hand.

His sentiments were far from calm.

After some time, he solemnly stood up, and with closed fists, saluted in the direction of the Taixu Temple, as a gesture done in the Tianhe Realm.

Although Liu Yanpei was a stranger to him, if Chen Mobai would achieve anything in the future, he would not forget this man’s kindness.

“Did this turtle shell come from Tianhe Realm? Or was it originally on Di Yuan Star?”

Chen Mobai picked up the turtle shell he had placed above his talisman paper. To anyone’s eyes, it appeared to be an ordinary object devoid of any spiritual energy.

Because of this, Liu Yanpei who had spent fifty years beside this treasure didn’t realize that it was this very turtle shell responsible for his inter-realm travels.

Chen Mobai couldn’t understand it, but one thing he was certain of was that the Taixu Temple was definitely not simple.

Or perhaps, could the Taixu True God statue be the incarnation of a mighty being?

However, learning from the experience of Liu Yanpei, Chen Mobai knew that if a treasure didn’t want to reveal itself before you, even if you held onto it for decades, you wouldn’t gain the opportunity.

One’s own strength is what ultimately matters in the end.

With this thought, Chen Mobai picked up the last notebook of Liu Yanpei.

What was recorded in it was not his journal entries, but his insights about the cultivation of the “Blackwater Cultivation” technique.

Even though Liu Yanpei had purchased many cultivation techniques and laws from the Xiandor markets, he hadn’t switched cultivation methods due to his solid foundation, instead always practicing this method of Qi Cultivation from the Five Elements Sect.

After reading it all in one go, Chen Mobai harvested quite a bit from it.

Even though he didn’t switch to practicing “Blackwater Cultivation”, he had almost mastered its corresponding spells. He believed that he had accomplished quite a bit, but compared to Liu Yanpei who had been immersed in it his whole life, he had barely scratched the surface.

From Liu Yanpei’s insights about the Blackwater system, Chen Mobai harvested greatly.

If he were to fight Yang Jing again, he felt it would be much easier to win.

However, these were not the greatest gains. In this notebook, it also recorded how to set up and break the “Ren Water Thunder Method” prohibition technique.

With this, when returning to the Water Mansion, Chen Mobai would not need to use the Rank-2 Yi Wood Divine Thunder talisman, and could easily open the remaining two side halls.

He just didn’t know what object Liu Yanpei left within.

However, Liu Yanpei would never have thought that, decades later, Chen Mobai would inherit his turtle shell and Water Mansion.

Maybe it was the will of the heavens, he had included the method of breaking the Ren Water Thunder Method prohibition in his notes.

Chen Mobai had a look and saw that it required the use of “Dark Water”. Fortunately, he had some. It was just that the method of breaking the prohibition required practice, which might take a while. Good thing he didn’t have other matters to attend to, so he decided to start practicing.

[It’s time to go back to Tianhe Realm to have a look. If the siege of the demonic beasts has ended, I’ll leave Green Light Island and make a trip back to the Water Mansion.]

Chen Mobai decided to visit Tianhe Realm that night, after contemplating.

After having dinner.

He returned to his room, placed the turtle shell carefully under his pillow, and then took out his phone. After a long time, he clicked on the [Teleportation] function.

The flashing silver light signaled his long-awaited return to the Tianhe Realm after a month.

However, as soon as he returned, Chen Mobai sensed that something was amiss.

The entrance to the tunnel he dug was blocked.

His eyes changed, Chen Mobai readjusted his stance to battle mode, with the Array Flag Needle box in hand, he carefully moved the blocks of wood and clods of earth blocking the entrance bit by bit.

About half an hour later, he finally saw daylight again.

After waiting for some time and making sure it was safe, Chen Mobai poked his head out.

Looking at his surroundings, a drastic change overtook his face.

His wooden hut had collapsed, showing signs of being caught in the aftermath of some battle.

That was probably why the entrance to the tunnel was blocked.

Chen Mobai was even more careful now, after clearing the debris from the entrance, he scurried out to take a look outside.

What awaited was an even more shocking sight.

The wooden houses lining the island were largely collapsed and in ruins. The entire Green Light Island seemed to have been ravaged by a giant monster, the highest peak of the island was missing a huge chunk, as though bitten off.

The once bustling streets were shattered and broken, the remnants and scars of the battle were still evident. He could see many incomplete bodies of demonic beasts, but there were no human bodies.

Reaching a high place, he saw that several of the Array Flag Spirit Trees that should be in sight had been broken, and more, completely uprooted and turned into ash by the “Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation”.

Chen Mobai took out his phone and checked the remaining concentration of spiritual energy on the island, and discovered that it was only at 1 point.

“Just how dreadful was this battle?”

When Chen Mobai was teaming up with Qi Rui, he had heard the latter say that as long as the spirit vein of Green Light Island remained intact, the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation could continuously extract the spiritual energy from earth veins to protect the entire island.

But now, it was abundantly clear that the spirit vein of the entire Green Light Island had been depleted in the intense battle.

This act of depleting resources was something that even cultivators of the Tianhe Realm wouldn’t resort to unless they were backed into a corner.

After all, the spirit vein on Green Light Island had been cultivated by the Divine Wood Sect for several decades, consuming tens of thousands of Spirit Stones in the process. Unless it was a matter of life and death, they would not resort to these extreme measures.

Chen Mobai used a Guidance Talisman. This talisman could guide him to the place with the most prosperous spiritual energy.

He quietly followed it, arriving at the highest peak of Green Light Island. Looking around, he saw that the place had turned into charred earth.

He arrived at what should have been the place of the last battle, where the teleportation array was located.

Chen Mobai saw more horrific traces of the battle. The ground was strewn with ashes of used talismans, shattered magic artifacts, and empty potion bottles. The ground had turned dark red but there wasn’t a single body.

Approaching the collapsed teleportation array temple, blood had seeped out staining half of the mountain red.

Grinding his teeth, Chen Mobai turned around and headed towards the west bank where his team had been posted.

The Array Flag Spirit Tree had been broken, lost all its spiritual energy, and was lying dried up on the cliff.

The signs of battle were also visible here. And it was here that Chen Mobai found the reason why there were no bodies.

In the distant waters, dozens of Black Plague Birds with red eyes were floating on the water, feasting on the bodies of the cultivators.

It seemed that after Green Light Island was breached, the demonic beasts swarmed in and treated the bodies of the cultivators as food.

Who knows how many people managed to escape through the teleportation array?

Were there any cultivators who had survived elsewhere on the island?

Were the members of his team still alive?

As these thoughts ran through his mind, Chen Mobai squatted down on the cliff, careful not to draw the attention of the group of Black Plague Birds.

He didn’t dare stay here too long. Using the Cleaning Technique, he removed all scents from his body, returned to his hand-dug hut via the original path, and after covering it up, he returned to Di Yuan Star with a heavy heart..
