Eternal Life: I Can Control My Essence Qi-Chapter 227 - 179: Tempestuous Winds and Torrential Rain
Half a month later.
Fang Continent, Cangjiang Water Mansion.
Zhang Yao sat cross-legged on a cushion, before him was a giant cauldron a yard tall, with flames burning fiercely.
"Set!"
He cast a dozen or so spells in succession, threw in several materials, then closed the cauldron lid again, sealed it with magical power, and lowered the flames slightly.
In the past few months, besides regular cultivation and enlightenment, he has been constantly perusing and comprehending Yu Wen Tai’s memory regarding the techniques of Artifact Refining, Arrays, and Talismans, striving to integrate them into his own skills.
These three techniques share common ground, with Spirit Patterns at their core, and Yu Wen Tai was a cultivator of the Path of Array Refining and Body Integration, with exceptionally high proficiency in this area.
His methods in Artifact Refining and Talismans are top of the third grade, far more powerful than what Wanchuan Ancestor and others had imagined.
His mastery of Array Dao, benefiting from Liu Cang’s inherited memory, even reached the threshold of level four, which was his most deeply hidden skill.
Zhang Yao constantly comprehends Yu Wen Tai’s memory, equivalent to receiving meticulous personal guidance from a Grandmaster of three pathways, the speed of progress is imaginable.
Almost every other day, Zhang Yao’s skills in three pathways would make new advances, and after several months, it can be described as rapid progress.
The current cauldron refinement is precisely a reflection of his achievements over these months.
"Boom!"
Zhang Yao changed the spell again, and after the flames exploded and flickered, they turned to a ghostly blue.
Zhang Yao intricately probed with divine thought, after observing the scene inside the cauldron, he slightly relaxed and slowly withdrew his magical power.
Under the energy supply of the array, the flames at the bottom of the cauldron continued to burn, maintaining a stable frequency, providing a suitable environment for the transformation of numerous materials inside.
"After battling with Yu Wen Tai, the Five Spirits Divine General Talisman suffered damage."
"It’s just the right opportunity to refine it anew, increasing its power greatly!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Yao couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile.
Yu Wen Tai’s legacy was extremely abundant, and for this new refinement, he not only used more rare treasures but even invested two third-grade treasure materials.
This was also the reason he patiently studied for several months, waiting for his skills to greatly improve before daring to open the cauldron.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Just then, a violent buzzing and trembling sound came from his waist.
"Hmm?"
Zhang Yao raised an eyebrow, and his divine thought instantly probed into the storage bag, quickly changing his expression:
"Celestial Treasure Order... this?!"
With a flip of his hand, a golden hexagonal command token appeared out of thin air in his palm.
Looking closely, the hexagonal command token was entirely golden, crafted from rare composite spiritual gold, covered with complex and elegant patterns, with "Celestial Treasure" on the front and "Haihe" on the back.
This was the Celestial Treasure Order belonging to the Haihe Association, a symbolic token as the owner of the Celestial Treasure Tower, representing great power and status, one of the series of tokens and seals entrusted to him by Lord Haihe.
At this moment—
The Celestial Treasure Order was rapidly vibrating, its entire body flashing red.
Zhang Yao’s expression was solemn, he infused a thread of magical power, and the Celestial Treasure Order immediately calmed down, with the red light slowly dimming.
"Lord Haihe once said, once the Celestial Treasure Order reacts like this, it means that the Celestial Treasure Conference is to be convened."
Zhang Yao’s thoughts rapidly turned over in his mind, guessing secretly:
"It seems that the matter of Yu Wen Tai’s disappearance can no longer be concealed, causing a disturbance within the Celestial Treasure Tower..."
The Celestial Treasure Conference is the highest authority of Celestial Treasure Tower, with nineteen seats in total.
In the past, neither the Tower Master nor the senior management of the Celestial Treasure Tower had much autonomy; all major decisions required convening the Celestial Treasure Conference.
But since Yu Wen Tai came to power, everything gradually changed, and the autonomy of Celestial Treasure Tower increased significantly, reaching its peak a few decades ago, gaining a semi-independent status.
A few decades ago, Yu Wen Tai, using his alliance techniques, persuaded the four major Golden Core forces and over half of Celestial Treasure Tower’s owners, forming the "Seven-Seated Conference," after which the Celestial Treasure Conference became a mere formality.
Although nominally the Celestial Treasure Conference is still the highest authority, during normal times all powers are exercised by the "Seven-Seated Conference."
Therefore, the Celestial Treasure Conference has not been convened for several decades.
"I still have to make a trip."
Zhang Yao stood up, put away the Celestial Treasure Order, and walked towards the location of the array core.
Once the Celestial Treasure Order sends a message, the holder, no matter where they are, must arrive at the Qian Province headquarters of Celestial Treasure Tower within seven days to attend the conference, otherwise it would be considered forfeiting.
At this juncture concerning the future fate of Celestial Treasure Tower, Zhang Yao certainly cannot be absent, otherwise, he would have no way to explain it to the Fuhai Sect above him afterward.
"Old Peng!"
Utilizing the array core, Zhang Yao’s divine thought instantly swept across the entire Cangjiang Water Mansion, located Old Peng, and sent a message with divine thought:
"Quickly come to the main hall to meet me."
In his own mansion:
Startled while being intimate with two concubines, Old Peng didn’t have time to bother with the concubines beside him, and after saying a few words, hurriedly flew away.
Soon, Old Peng arrived at the main hall, seeing Zhang Yao who was ready to leave.
"Celestial Treasure Tower has undergone changes, the Celestial Treasure Conference is to be convened, I need to go there quickly to find out what happened."
Zhang Yao said succinctly:
"This trip will take an unknown amount of time, at the very least, it will be delayed for half a month, and much upheaval might ensue."
"During this period, you’ll be in charge at Cangjiang Water Mansion, if anything unexpected truly happens, I’ll allow you to abandon the mansion and retreat towards Hai Continent."
