Chapter 497: Chapter 354: Foundation Establishment, Foes from the Secret Realm

"Zhong Heng, a letter from the True Master."

"You should break through to Foundation Establishment as soon as possible so that you can replace Steward Song’s identity."

"As for the intelligence section within the Divine Strategy Pavilion, first make a cut."

"Yes."

[Steward Song has died.]

[Yunmiao Master, who had long been stationed in the Secret Realm World, made a rare return to Three Clouds Market.]

[Steward Song washed away the suspicion of the Wind and Rain Tower from the Divine Strategy Pavilion through suicide, leaving Yunmiao Master with a clean Divine Strategy Pavilion.]

[You don’t know the story between Steward Song and Divine Strategy Master back then, but it’s not hard to guess the depth of their relationship.]

[At the same time, you’re quite troubled because you have an Identity Token for the Wind and Rain Tower in your hands.]

[Yunmiao Master soon returned to the Secret Realm to engage in battle.]

[You’ve heard that this time the Secret Realm World seems particularly troublesome.]

[You continue to cultivate.]

[You ponder slightly and begin to dedicate a fixed amount of time to inference.]

[You searched for some immature Cultivation Techniques on the market nowadays, specifically side techniques that confuse blood recognition for ownership, combining them with the Array Dao, using River Map Inference to derive an array or cultivation technique that can disguise blood recognition on the Wind and Rain Tower Token but still allow entry to the Pocket World of the Wind and Rain Tower.]

.........

[In the year 5050 of the New Source Era, with everything ready, you began to break through to Foundation Establishment.]

[You swallowed two Foundation Establishment Pills, assisted with Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects like the Purple Qi Cloud Dew, Green Spirit Snake Heart Blood, Purple Flower Vine Juice... and others.]

[You broke through to Foundation Establishment in one go.]

[You became a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, your aura erupting.]

[Three Clouds Market quickly learned that Master Zhong had become a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, and some Foundation Establishment Cultivators couldn’t help but place orders with you in advance, believing that as a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, you could further advance in the Array Dao.] 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

[You feel the Liquid True Essence within you, and with the Five Elements Technique Foundation Establishment, the Liquid True Essence is quite pure and thick.]

[However, if you don’t bear arrays on your body, your future cultivation path might be more challenging.]

[You continue to test yourself, discovering that your Foundation Establishment Divine Sense and Liquid True Essence can already support you in forming a Tier Three Array in the void.]

[The unmodified Third-tier Gathering Spirit Array can be loaded onto the body.]

[And you can also simultaneously load two Tier Two arrays onto yourself.]

[You became a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator and also became a Steward of the Divine Strategy Pavilion.]

[At this time, you and Qian Hua are the only two Stewards in the Divine Strategy Pavilion; although your cultivation is not considered high among the people in the pavilion, you usually get along quite well with colleagues, coupled with your reputation as an Array Genius and Yunmiao Master’s favor, many members respect you.]

[You usually treat others with kindness and calmness; although you became famous at a young age, you are not overly arrogant.]

[While Qian Hua usually exudes a cold demeanor, the two of you complement each other perfectly, playing contrasting roles.]

[Having gained management authority, you made simple improvements to the Divine Strategy Pavilion’s system based on your experience.]

[At the same time, you strengthened the connection with the Hundred Stars Alliance, and the daily flow of funds at the Divine Strategy Pavilion increased significantly once again.]

[You also continued to focus your efforts on cultivation.]

[In the year 5055 of the New Source Era, you learned skills like Wind and Rain Summoning Skill, Celestial Thunder Skill, Spirit Wood Cyan Essence Skill, Spirit Wind Escape Technique, and sixteen other practical Foundation Establishment Stage spells.]

[At the same time, you also learned the Five Elements Escape Technique, Five Elements Qi Gathering Skill, and Five Elements Shield Technique, fifteen types of Five Elements Magic documented in the Five Elements Technique.]

[You mastered the Three Talents Clear Wind Sword Array and Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire Array, two of the Tier Three Slaughter Arrays.]

[You mastered the Black Tortoise Sea Defense Array, a Tier Three Defensive Array.]

[You mastered the Cyan Dragon Trapping Abyss Array, a Tier Three Trapping Array.]

......

[In the year 5060 of the New Source Era, you successfully set up a Tier Four Spirit Gathering Array, and the news quickly spread, leading many Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators to start placing orders with you.]

[There are too few Array Masters adept in Tier Four Spirit Gathering Arrays, at least not many willing to set up arrays for Loose Cultivators, so you have a backlog of array orders every day.]

[You continuously refined your Tier Four Spirit Gathering Array skills through practice.]

[In the year 5061, you integrated the techniques of the Third-tier Gathering Spirit Array into the Tier Four Spirit Gathering Array, successfully adding portability to the Tier Four Spirit Gathering Array.]

[Now you’re capable of carrying the Tier Four Spirit Gathering Array·Modified.]

[With an additional Gathering Spirit Array externally, given sufficient Spirit Stones, your cultivation efficiency can almost equal that of Three Spirit Roots.]

......

[In the year 5063 of the New Source Era, you successfully learned the Tier Four versions of Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire Array, White Tiger Nine Kill Array, Black Tortoise Sea Defense Array, Cyan Dragon Trapping Abyss Array.]

......

[In the year 5066 of the New Source Era, you had already mastered eleven Tier Three Arrays and five Tier Four Arrays; your array skills surpassed Master Weidao.]

[And you are now sixty-six years old.]

.........

[In the year 5068 of the New Source Era, you acquired the status of an Elder in the Array Master Alliance at Three Clouds Market, a title recognized throughout the Qu Hong Cultivation Realm. You regularly shared your array insights at the Array Master Alliance, yielding results and establishing your prestige in the Array Realm.]

[You began studying the Tier Five Four Symbols Array comprised of four different Tier Four Four Symbols Arrays, taught by the Hundred Stars Alliance, which purportedly arranged an almost Tier Six Four Symbols Array at its headquarters.]

[In the year 5069, Lin Wui hit a bottleneck and followed Yunmiao Master into the Secret Realm World for cultivation.]

"This Secret Realm really is troublesome..."
