After leaving the meeting room, Yechen did not go straight home. Instead, he first sought out his several dozen subordinates and explained the mission requirements.
During this time, Yechen did not tell them about the stronghold in Qu River Town. Saying too much would only give them more to worry about.
Once he had handed out their assignments, Yechen left and returned to his residence.
Although they had already been performing guard duty over the past few days, these latest orders made their mission official.
Time flew.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
While Yechen was cultivating, his understanding of cyclone force seemed to reach another level. Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind.
Ding! Congratulations, host, on achieving a new breakthrough in your understanding of the wind element. The system has devised a new cultivation method for you. Would you like to evolve it?
Hearing this, Yechen muttered to himself.
Huh, this again. The same thing happened last time when I gained insight into Lightning Release: One-Sword Slash. Now that I've gained insight into cyclone force, it's popped up again.
After weighing the pros and cons, Yechen made his decision.

"Ride the wind through the sky, break through barriers and soar into the clouds, stroll through the void, move freely within the wind... I'll call it Wind Realm Freedom."
``` Ding! Naming successful. Wind Release: Wind Realm Freedom evolved successfully. Current level: 1.
