Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 863: Chapter 328: Good News, Marvelous Uses of the Spirit Body (Second Update, Subscription Requested)

On the stone wall, there was an intricate ancient barrier, the myriad runes on the barrier converging together, resembling the outline of a spider:

”Celestial Sound Fairy, use the detection array plate to investigate.”

”Yes, Patriarch.”

Celestial Sound Fairy nodded, then immediately patted her storage bag. With a flash of dawn light, a detection array plate floated in front of her as she sent techniques into the array plate.

Buzz!

The array plate suddenly shone brightly, and as the runes circulated, strands of spirit light shot towards the stone wall on the northwest side. Under the illumination of the spirit light, the stone wall faintly emitted a strange halo, as if an invisible curtain was slowly being lifted:

”Indeed, there is an invisible barrier here!”

Celestial Sound Fairy studied it for a while, then took out a drill array plate to deduce further. After a while, she said, ”Patriarch, this barrier seems to be from the same era as the one in Chief Yinan’s secret chamber, with similar array formation methods. Give me three to four months, and I should be able to break this barrier.”

Celestial Sound Fairy did not ask more about what was concealed by the barrier, clearly showing her wisdom and prudence.

Fu Changsheng, however, had learned from intelligence that this was most likely a Star Stone vein. However, why such a good ore vein would have a barrier set up around it was puzzling. To be cautious, he said solemnly:

Celestial Sound Fairy, please set up a defense array here on Xinguang Mountain to prevent any unexpected phenomena from occurring.”

After all, this place borders the Fish Eagle Tribe.

Apart from the deceased Third and Seventh Elders, the Fish Eagle Tribe still has six visible members at the Purple Mansion level. Avoiding direct confrontation and safely mining the Star Stone vein is the best strategy.

Upon hearing this, Celestial Sound Fairy sincerely praised:

”The Patriarch is indeed thorough in his considerations. I have a set of small Reversed Five Elements Array, which should be sufficient to conceal any anomalies.”

”Very well, then I must trouble you,”

Fu Changsheng nodded.

Celestial Sound Fairy quickly gestured to demur, and after the three returned to the surface, she patted her storage bag. With a flash of dawn light, several flags glistening with spirit light appeared in her hand. She stepped lightly around the area, accurately planting the flags into the ground at each spot. As the array flags were inserted, lines of light interweaved and intersected on the ground.

Boom!

The Five Elements Inversion Array was instantly completed.

Celestial Sound Fairy exhaled gently, wiping away the slight sheen of sweat from her forehead:

”Patriarch, we can now proceed to study the barrier down below.”

”There’s no rush, first recover your mana,”

Fu Changsheng had just received news that Yaoyao had successfully opened the Niwan Palace, becoming a Half-Step Purple Mansion, and had already emerged from seclusion. He immediately instructed the Cyan Flood Dragon to make a round trip to bring Yaoyao over. Given her research on ancient barriers, her assistance should greatly reduce the time needed.

The Cyan Flood Dragon flew back swiftly.

By the time Yaoyao arrived from Yinan Mountain, Celestial Sound Fairy had just finished recovering the mana consumed by the array formation. Just as Yaoyao was about to report the good news to Fu Changsheng, she noticed that his aura had strengthened significantly, and she said with a grin:

”Father, your cultivation speed is unbelievably fast. I just broke through to Half-Step Purple Mansion, and you’ve already reached the Third Layer of the Purple Mansion.”

In front of Fu Changsheng.

Yaoyao appeared much more lively, speaking more casually, unlike Fu Yongyi.

Fu Yongyi’s eyes were filled with envy and joy, and he cupped his hands, saying:

”Congratulations, Yaoyao. The Purple Mansion is within reach.”

”Not that fast, Father reminded me to cultivate the ’Nine Heavens Star Technique’ to perfection at the Muscle Refining Realm. I’m still lingering in the Flesh Refining Realm.”

If it weren’t for the Star Stones.

Just relying on meditation to absorb the Star Power would probably take over a decade.

Additionally.

She was still thinking about the Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Mansion ruins in Yunshan County’s fief.

After chatting for a while.

Fu Changsheng said to Fu Yongyi:

”Stone, from now on Yaoyao and Celestial Sound Fairy will be in charge here. It’s time for you to go into seclusion and try to open the Niwan Palace.”

Originally, Fu Yongyi wanted to see what was behind the barrier below, but after hearing Fu Changsheng’s words, he abandoned the thought. He cupped his hands, asked Yaoyao a few more questions about the key points of opening the Niwan Palace, then left Xinguang Mountain and returned to Yinan Mountain.

After opening the Niwan Palace, Yaoyao’s Divine Sense greatly increased.

This made studying the barrier much easier. Coupled with the experienced Celestial Sound Fairy, the two formed a strong team, finding a breakthrough method in less than a month:

”Father, should we break the array immediately?”

”There is no hurry, recover your mana first, in case of any emergencies, you might need to take action.”

”Yes, Father/Patriarch.”

Both Yaoyao and Celestial Sound Fairy were eager to discover what lay beyond the barrier, while Fu Changsheng remained calm and collected, a trait they both admired even more.

In truth.

Fu Changsheng had other considerations.

Since there was a barrier set up here, to be cautious, he naturally wanted to exchange intelligence to see the specific situation before proceeding. Thus, he placed his consciousness on the Sea of Divine Sense panel:

”Exchange intelligence”

Buzz!

The panel quivered.

A large flow of yellow light surged.

Soon, lines of text appeared:

[1: Just now, your wife Liuu Meizhen received your two Soul-Attracting Pills, plus two Soul Nurturing Pills, successfully breaking through to the Purple Mansion]

Meizhen broke through?!

Fu Changsheng was momentarily stunned.

Then joy filled his heart.

Now, aside from the unknown cultivation of Uncle Yu, Uncle Fei, himself, plus Meizhen, there were four Purple Mansion combatants in the clan. In addition, with Yaoyao’s Four-winged Red Python, his Cyan Flood Dragon, Autumn Cicada, and Corpse Puppet, when counted together, the Fu Family’s Purple Mansion forces reached eight, on par with the Fish Eagle Tribe.
