Chapter 478 - 245: Dark Prison Seal (2)

The arrangement was secondary; Liou Yuan closed his eyes and felt the Spiritual Qi in the cave dwelling, his eyes suddenly glowing with brilliance.

"Compared to the cave dwelling I rented on the Fifth Peak and compared to the secret chamber I had in Xiang Mountain, the Spiritual Qi here is more than twice as concentrated."

After Liou Yuan had broken through to Foundation Establishment, he could clearly feel that the Spiritual Qi in the secret chamber at Xiang Mountain was insufficient for his needs.

After all, Foundation Establishment is different from Qi Cultivation, the daily Spiritual Power consumption for training is enormous.

Otherwise, Five Extremes Mountain would not have specifically distinguished between Inner and Outer Sects.

If the Inner Sect Foundation Establishment disciples and those from the Outer Sect trained together, those from the Outer Sect could forget about breaking through to Foundation Establishment in their entire lifetime.

This cave dwelling now perfectly addressed Liou Yuan’s problem; not only does it adequately supply his current cultivation level, but he also feels he could keep cultivating to the Peak of Foundation Establishment without needing to change dwellings.

"Such level cave dwellings are probably rare even in the Inner Sect," Liou Yuan marveled.

Evidently, the higher-ups of Five Extremes Mountain used Tuoba Xin to guide Liou Yuan to this cave dwelling with careful planning.

Of course, this special treatment was entirely due to Liou Yuan’s demonstrated potential that deserved such an opportunity.

Meanwhile, as Liou Yuan assessed his cave dwelling.

The fact that he became a Foundation Establishment Array Master has already been reported to Wenda Tower personally by Zhao Zhuoran.

Because the siege against Liou Hexuan failed, Xuanyi, who never showed a good face to those Foundation Establishments in the Inner Sect, relaxed his furrowed brow quite a bit.

A Foundation Establishment Array Master doesn’t mean much to Xuanyi.

But a twenty-something Foundation Establishment Array Master is very different.

Xuanyi has seen many geniuses, even killed quite a few, but geniuses in arrays are rare.

After listening to the report, Xuanyi even uncharacteristically picked up the brush he hadn’t touched for ages and began writing and painting at his desk.

At the same time, the news that Liou Yuan had become the fourth Foundation Establishment Array Master of Five Extremes Mountain quickly spread throughout the Inner Sect.

All Inner Sect Disciples knew that the newly admitted Inner Sect disciple, Liou Yuan, was a Foundation Establishment Array Master, the sect’s fourth Foundation Establishment Array Master.

"What, Liou Hexuan escaped!"

"With five elders from the Inner Sect Disciplinary Hall taking action, plus a vice hall master, unless a Golden Core took part, it should have been impossible to fail. Has Liou Hexuan reached Golden Core?"

Inside the Purple Curtain cave dwelling, Liou Yuan’s mood, which was uplifted by acquiring a Spiritual Qi-rich cave dwelling, was completely dispelled by Tuoba Xin’s words.

Tuoba Xin followed Liou Yuan into the cave dwelling and recounted all the events over the more than two years Liou Yuan had been in seclusion.

Among them was intelligence about Liou Hexuan.

Upon hearing that Liou Hexuan escaped from the hands of so many experts in Five Extremes Mountain, Liou Yuan almost thought he had misheard.

"Liou Hexuan is not simple; he’s been at the Peak of Foundation Establishment for over twenty years, not easy to deal with in any sense."

"Don’t be fooled by how your elder brother is so formidable, capable of slaying Liou Le Yao on the Chaotic Scene. If he truly faced off with Liou Hexuan, who would win is hard to say," Tuoba Xin, not understanding why Liou Yuan had such a strong reaction and assuming it was due to Ice Vein’s hatred towards Fog Vein, paid little heed and leisurely explained:

"Moreover, this betrayal was premeditated; he planned his escape beforehand during the Chaotic Scene."

"The escape route, as well as the passage beyond Jiuli State, was all thoroughly contemplated."

"With Buried Moon Valley’s demonic sect providing cover, he escaped the thousands-of-miles pursuit of the Disciplinary Hall."

Upon hearing Tuoba Xin’s explanation, Liou Yuan slumped onto the Cold Jade Bed, his expression varied.

He had hoped to kill Liou Hexuan, ingest his Star Acupoint and Qi Mansion to enhance his own Wood Acupoint.

Who knew upon exiting seclusion, he’d hear such ’bad news.’

"Indeed, the Disciplinary Hall cannot go to the Linlang Domain to capture anyone; after all, it’s the mortal enemy of Five Extremes Mountain. Just setting foot in it might lead to immediate death attacked by the masses."

Liou Yuan rubbed his temples, smiling bitterly to himself: "Looks like I can’t rely on Liou Hexuan anymore."

Since even the Disciplinary Hall dared not venture into the Linlang Domain, he certainly did not dare.

Thus, the matter of enhancing Wood Acupoint aptitude can only be approached from other angles.

As Tuoba Xin continued chattering incessantly, he further mentioned that the Sect Leader rarely expressed anger due to Liou Hexuan’s incident, leading to the dismissal of the five elders along with Vice Hall Master Chen Zeyang of the Disciplinary Hall.

Suddenly, Tuoba Xin brought up the incident concerning the mysterious giant ship assaulting Five Extremes Mountain, occurring shortly after Liou Yuan entered seclusion.

His description was vivid, detailing the appearance of the giant ship meticulously to Liou Yuan, and explaining how fierce it was, that with just one encounter, it ravaged Five Extremes Mountain’s fog array.

The Sect Leader battled it for a long time before finally forcing it to retreat, and so forth.

At the start, Liou Yuan felt a chill listening, wondering which force had lost its mind to be daring enough to cause trouble at Five Extremes Mountain.

The more he listened to Tuoba Xin’s depiction of that ghost ship’s appearance, the more wrong his expression became.

The ghost ship Tuoba Xin described was none other than the ghost ship at Cyan Feather Gui Character Crossing.

The mark it left on Liou Yuan still remained on his chest.

"It has surfaced?" Liou Yuan involuntarily thought, and felt his hair stand on end because that ghost thing had run out from Cyan Feather Gui Character Crossing.

Although Liou Yuan had only seen that ghost ship from afar at Cyan Feather Gui Character Crossing, the scene was shockingly visceral then.

The bodies afloat around that ghost ship numbered at least ten thousand, with an atmosphere so fiercely intense as if piercing through Hengyu.

Liou Yuan did not believe that anyone within the Cyan Feather Realm presently could withstand that ghost ship.

But after careful listening, he realized it wasn’t exactly the case.

"Tuoba Xin said that the ghost ship vanished within the Sect Leader’s Divine Skill without leaving any wreckage."

"It probably wasn’t its true body coming forth."

Liou Yuan, whose heart demon had suffered harassment from the ghost ship before, understood that an existence of such level perhaps didn’t need to personally intervene to influence reality.
