"Then, Pang Heng, since you can't leave the Eastern Sea for too long, I've thought of a way. For now, I'll find you a place not far from the Eastern Sea. I'll personally set up a grand array to protect you, and you can cultivate inside it. I'll first head into the Primordial Wilderness to gain experience. If you reach the Great Luo Realm first, go to the Primordial Continent and find me. If I return first and you still haven't advanced to the Great Luo Realm, I'll come find you then. What do you think?" The moment Yuan Tian thought of this method, he told Pang Heng. He could not think of any other solution. "Mm, alright. We'll do as you say, Boss." Hearing Yuan Tian's plan, Pang Heng replied listlessly.
"Alright, alright, it's not as though we'll never meet again. Once your cultivation reaches the Great Luo Realm, won't we be able to see each other again? Come on, cheer up. When the time comes, cultivate properly." Seeing Pang Heng's dispirited appearance, Yuan Tian could not help comforting him. After all, they had been brothers for decades and spent decades together; their bond was very good.
"Alright, I understand, Boss." After Yuan Tian's consolation, Pang Heng felt somewhat better, but he was still a little listless. There was nothing to be done about it—it was not something that could be resolved in a moment. Yuan Tian could only take it slowly.
Just like that, while Yuan Tian was consoling Pang Heng, the two had already arrived at the Eastern Sea Shore. Yuan Tian still needed to find Pang Heng a temporary place to cultivate nearby.
Cultivators valued wealth, companions, techniques, and land. Land referred to a place for cultivating the Dao—a daoist sanctuary. Pang Heng did not need to find a sanctuary now; he only needed a place to cultivate. It did not have to be too good. After all, although an excellent place made cultivation easier, it could also draw the attention of powerful experts. Thus, for Pang Heng as he was now, an ordinary cultivation site would suffice. Anything too good was impractical and not easy to find.
Less than a Calamity Cycle had passed since the Primordial Wilderness had been opened, and the Primordial Continent was filled with Innate Spiritual Qi. Finding an ordinary cultivation site was fairly easy, so Yuan Tian and Pang Heng did not spend much time before locating one. It was a "small mountain" nearly ten li in radius and almost a hundred zhang tall. In truth, it could not really be considered a tall mountain. In the Primordial Wilderness, a mountain had to be at least ten thousand zhang high to count as one. Still, this small mountain was perfectly suited to Pang Heng's current needs.
The small mountain did not possess the overwhelming spiritual qi of a heavenly grotto or blessed land; its spiritual qi could only be called ordinary. That way, it would not attract attention. Of course, such a small mountain had one advantage: no powerful experts would be found here. And indeed, Yuan Tian and Pang Heng occupied the mountain with ease. It took no effort at all. There were only one or two minor demons in the mountain, and they dealt with them effortlessly.
"Alright, Pang Heng, cultivate here from now on. I'll set up two grand arrays outside to protect you." Yuan Tian pointed casually, opening up a cave on the mountain as he spoke to Pang Heng. Immortals truly had it good. If they wanted a place to live, they neither had to spend money nor exhaust themselves. With a mere point of the finger, they could carve out an immortal abode. It was simply too convenient.
"Alright, Boss. I'll cultivate diligently," Pang Heng answered with great seriousness.
"Mm. Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, and we've traveled such a long way. Rest well here for now. I'll go set up the grand arrays." After saying that, Yuan Tian went outside to prepare the arrays. As for the materials required, the Dragon Clan they had encountered last time had provided them. Those Dragon Clan members had truly been wealthy beyond measure. Every one of them possessed an innate treasure. Though none were of particularly high grade, they were still innate treasures. Apart from the treasures, they also had quite a number of artifact-refining materials. The materials Yuan Tian had used to refine the Golden Dragon Scissors had been looted from those Dragon Clan members.
Seeing the treasures and materials on those Dragon Clan members, Yuan Tian could not help wondering when he ought to rob the Dragon Clan again. The Dragon Clan was simply too rich. Compared with them, Yuan Tian felt that he was practically a "poor man."
Of course, since the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan could stand alongside the Dragon Clan as the three great innate races of the Primordial Wilderness, their fortunes could not be poor either. He could pay them a visit when he had the time. At that thought, a trace of a wicked smile appeared on Yuan Tian's face. If Pang Heng had seen it, he would definitely have known that someone was about to suffer misfortune, because whenever he saw that sort of wicked smile, someone always ended up unlucky. Naturally, in the past, that unlucky person had always been Pang Heng himself. Yuan Tian planned to refine an array diagram—the Breath-Concealing Diagram—and refine the Breath-Concealing Array into an array diagram. That way, he could easily set up the Breath-Concealing Array in the future.
Although the Breath-Concealing Array was a "double-none" array with neither offensive nor defensive power, it was not entirely useless. At the very least, it was quite useful now—extremely practical, in fact.
Yuan Tian intended to use the Breath-Concealing Array to hide Pang Heng's aura. That way, even if the Dragon Clan later learned that their clansmen had died at the hands of Yuan Tian and Pang Heng, the Breath-Concealing Array would come into play. Even if the Dragon Clan knew that Pang Heng had killed their clansmen, without someone at the Quasi-Sage level helping them calculate his whereabouts, they would not be able to find Pang Heng. If they could not find him, there would be nothing they could do. Perhaps the Dragon Clan would even believe Pang Heng was already dead. This would achieve the purpose of protecting him.
As for Yuan Tian himself being discovered by the Dragon Clan, he had never worried about it. Though he alone could not fight the entire Dragon Clan, it would not be easy for the Dragon Clan to kill him either. Thus, Yuan Tian was not afraid of the Dragon Clan coming to cause trouble for him.
Yuan Tian spent only nine years successfully refining the Breath-Concealing Array diagram. This was far less time than he had spent refining the Golden Dragon Scissors.
This time, Yuan Tian still planned to set up two arrays. One was the Breath-Concealing Array, while the other was the Five Elements Reversal Grand Array. The Breath-Concealing Array had neither offensive nor defensive power, but the Five Elements Reversal Grand Array did. The Five Elements Reversal Grand Array specialized in offense and supplemented it with defense. The Breath-Concealing Array would be placed outside, while the Five Elements Reversal Grand Array would be placed within.
Yuan Tian had already refined the Breath-Concealing Array diagram, so setting it up was easily accomplished. As for the Five Elements Reversal Grand Array, it was somewhat more troublesome, but before Yuan Tian, a grandmaster of arrays, it was merely troublesome—not impossible to arrange.
Overall, Yuan Tian did not spend much time setting up the two grand arrays. He believed that breaking them would be one thing for the Breath-Concealing Array, but the Five Elements Reversal Grand Array required at least the strength of a peak Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal to break. But what Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal would have nothing better to do than visit this small mountain? Thus, these two arrays could basically protect Pang Heng until he broke through to the Great Luo Realm.
After setting up the arrays, Yuan Tian flashed and arrived in the cave where Pang Heng was staying.
