Cave Refuge
Chapter 409 - 332 Secret Mission
At this moment, Dong Tianyu realized that only upon reaching the Golden Core Stage could one truly be said to have stepped onto the path of cultivation.
After all, even though Dong Tianyu could spend Survival Points to purchase various techniques from the Scripture Hall during the Foundation Building Stage, using those techniques would primarily consume his own body’s Spirit Power.
But once his cultivation level reached the Golden Core Stage, the techniques offered by the Scripture Hall fundamentally differed from those provided during the Foundation Building Stage. At this time, the techniques for Golden Core Stage cultivation provided by the Scripture Hall mostly involved using one’s own Spirit Power to manipulate the Spirit Energy between heaven and earth for attacks.
This might be somewhat similar to the Path Entry Realm newly defined by the China martial path, and Dong Tianyu could be considered to have directly skipped the Energy Refining Realm corresponding to the Martial Path, as his cultivation realm soared to the next level.
Now, Dong Tianyu could finally feel confident in Pengcheng, using his cultivation realm to overpower others.
After calming his mood while flying in the sky with Sword Flight, Dong Tianyu headed directly toward the camp. However, during the flight, he casually used the newly learned Invisibility Technique for some concealment.
Although Dong Tianyu’s cultivation had risen again, he hadn’t forgotten to act discreetly, an excellent habit. Even if his cultivation had reached the Golden Core Stage,
he could be considered top-notch in Pengcheng, but if placed in Kyoto, there were definitely more than one Martial Artist at the Path Entry Realm, let alone having witnessed the ancient beasts attacking the city back then.
If faced with a missile strike, a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage could at most dodge; attempting to withstand it directly would likely be suicidal.
Just as he entered his home, Dong Tianyu unexpectedly found his mother waiting there.
Mrs. Thompson looked up at Dong Tianyu as he walked in, her eyes carrying a trace of worry.
Having just stepped into the Golden Core Stage, with his Divine Sense not yet fully retracted, Dong Tianyu instantly noticed his mother’s worry.
"Mom, has something happened?"
Upon hearing her son’s inquiry, Mrs. Thompson hesitated only briefly before saying to Dong Tianyu, "You know the current situation outside the camp. Your father was only responsible for coordinating with the military on missions, but for some reason, he’s been assigned to accompany troops on a mission this time.
We both know exactly what your father is capable of. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t be involved in such missions, but this time he just came home, gave me a few instructions, and left immediately.
He didn’t mention what the mission was specifically, where it was, or how many days it would last."
After your dad left, I tried to get some information from others indirectly. It seems there hasn’t been any large-scale troop movement at the camp lately, so I’m quite worried about your dad’s mission this time."
Hearing his mother say this, Dong Tianyu could only begin by trying to reassure her, "Mom, don’t worry, Dad probably won’t encounter any danger out there. After all, you know his position in the camp. He must be moving with the military personnel.
It’s quite normal that you haven’t heard about the mission because I guess it’s being carried out by the military, and Dad is just accompanying them, so don’t worry too much.
If you’re really not at ease, I can go and find out what mission Dad is on."
Upon hearing Dong Tianyu’s words, Mrs. Thompson immediately replied, "Then hurry up and find out."
Seeing his mother’s genuine anxiety, Dong Tianyu turned around and left to make inquiries, starting with Robinson William.
In the past, he would have needed to ask around to find Robinson William’s location, but as Dong Tianyu’s cultivation level had reached the Golden Core Stage, the range of his Divine Sense had expanded drastically.
Although he hadn’t tested the ultimate distance yet, it was just barely possible to cover the entire camp.
After locating Robinson William’s position, Dong Tianyu immediately went to his side.
Robinson William was busy directing others to maintain order. Observing him constantly managing through the radio, Dong Tianyu asked curiously, "What’s going on?"
As Dong Tianyu did not deliberately conceal his presence, Robinson William noticed him approaching, but he was simply too busy at the time to greet Dong Tianyu promptly.
After finishing his immediate tasks, Robinson William put the radio back into the pouch at his waist before speaking, "Look who’s come to see me, the big shot himself. After disappearing for so long, you’ve finally deigned to return?"
For a while, Dong Tianyu had secluded himself for cultivation to raise his level, officially claiming to be in closed-door training. Unlike others who cultivated at home, to avoid disturbance, he left the camp and used the wilderness to mask himself while cultivating in the Cave.
Hearing Robinson William joking when he had time for it, Dong Tianyu acted somewhat helplessly as he said, "Well, you’ve entered the Energy Refining Realm before me, and since my cultivation hadn’t broken through, I had to go into the wilderness to look for an opportunity. Now that I’ve successfully broken through, I came straight to find you."
Hearing Dong Tianyu say this, Robinson William rolled his eyes and retorted irritably, "You especially came to find me, huh? As if I don’t know what kind of person you are. Spill it, what do you need?"
Far from being ashamed when Robinson William bluntly exposed his motive, Dong Tianyu directly admitted, "I did indeed come to you for something. My dad has left the camp, saying that he’s gone out with the military. Do you know anything about this?"
