As a faction grew in size, it inevitably became vulnerable.
Hence, these large factions generally refrained from antagonizing solitary experts, who operated without such constraints.
The ramifications of such enmity were dire.
Any retaliatory strikes from the offended expert could endanger the faction’s members who ventured outside their stronghold.
In the concealed chamber of the No.0 Courtyard, Braydon Neal declared his intention to enter seclusion upon his return.
To ensure his privacy, Courtyard Zero was fortified with a formidable killing array, dissuading even the boldest family members from disturbing him.
Within the family, discussions swirled around Braydon’s exploits.
His status as a ten-eyed dual-pupil wielder, along with his conquest of the thirteenth level of the Ivory Tower, had reverberated across the Spirit Sea.@@@@
While his ascent to fame within the Ivory Tower was widely acknowledged, Braydon’s subsequent retreat into seclusion left the outside world speculating about his whereabouts.
Yet, it was common knowledge in the Spirit Sea that the Neal family would spare no effort to safeguard such a prodigious talent.
Their strategy?
Conceal him from prying eyes, allowing him to mature away from the public gaze until he was ready to emerge and undergo further trials.
In the secrecy of the No.0 Courtyard, a towering structure loomed overhead—the Star Tower, its presence symbolizing the clandestine nurturing of Braydon’s potential.
Braydon stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze fixed on the fully unfurled Myriad Path Diagram.
Behind him stood the trio of banished immortals, their presence a testament to the gravity of the task at hand.
The Myriad Path Diagram had evolved into more than a mere tool—it had become a crucible of Braydon’s own tribulations, entwined with the very essence of his cultivation.
It was a symbiotic relationship, where both he and the ancient martial arts banished immortal contributed to each other’s progress.
Activating his dual-pupils, Braydon embarked on the meticulous process of deciphering the Myriad Path Diagram.
This time, however, he abstained from the usual activation of the Myriad Path Diagram.
Instead, he focused on its dissection, unraveling its intricate layers like peeling silk from a cocoon.
The imperial path, resembling a delicately crafted dough twist, was meticulously extracted by Braydon, each movement precise and deliberate.
As he painstakingly delineated the radiant imperial path, it hung suspended in the air, awaiting its absorption by the ancient martial arts banished immortal.
With each imperial path extracted, the once tumultuous transformations of the Myriad Path Diagram began to diminish, its formidable power gradually waning by 30%.
It took Braydon a month to break down the Myriad Path Diagram.
Only three days had passed in the outside world.
Against the backdrop of the clear sky, a young man clad in snow-white attire, his black hair cascading over his shoulders, concealed his visage behind a silver mask.
Crafted from a unique material, the silver mask possessed the uncanny ability to shield mental power detection.
The solitary wanderer traversed the Spirit Sea, gazing out upon its vast expanse with enigmatic eyes behind the silver mask.
Within those eyes lay a peculiar sight—a total of ten pupils adorned each orb, with the main pupil centered amidst nine others arranged in three concentric circles, swirling in a mesmerizing pattern.
Simultaneously, the silver-masked youth strode upon the Yin-Yang Five Elements Diagram.
Anchored by the Yin Yang Taiji at its core, the circular arrangement of the five elements rotated around the yin and yang.
With each step, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Diagram expanded, stretching to a diameter of ten miles.
A thunderous boom reverberated as the seawater surged backward, drawn into the vortex of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Diagram.
The blue circle within the diagram eagerly absorbed the Spirit Sea’s waters, prompting a transformation of the five elements.
Metal engendered water, water nurtured wood, wood fueled fire, fire nurtured earth, and earth generated metal—each element seamlessly transitioning into the next.
Amidst the boundless waters of the Spirit Sea, the dominance of water facilitated the elemental conversion, channeling the energy of the five elements into the harmonious embrace of yin and yang.
And amidst this cosmic dance, a trace of primordial chaos energy emerged, embodying the essence of creation itself.
The silver-masked figure, none other than Braydon, drew in a deep breath, channeling the surrounding primordial chaos energy into his being, permeating his bones with its essence.
To outsiders, Braydon’s activities remained a mystery.
Had he left the family unnoticed by the elders, or did the astute Fontane Neal, the family’s Third Ancestor, silently shadow his every move?
Fontane, a formidable presence within the Neal family, recognized Braydon’s unparalleled potential.
With unwavering dedication, he vowed to nurture and safeguard Braydon, foreseeing his pivotal role in sustaining the family’s prosperity for millennia to come.
Though aware of his follower’s presence, Braydon paid it little heed, assuming it to be Fontane’s discreet vigilance.
The silver mask he wore served a dual purpose—it concealed his identity and minimized unwarranted attention.
Following the uproar at the Ivory Tower, numerous adversaries sought Braydon’s demise, making anonymity a prudent choice.
In the perilous expanse of the Spirit Sea, danger lurked at every turn.
“I require copious amounts of primordial chaos Qi to refine and integrate into my bones,” Braydon murmured softly, absorbing another tendril of primordial chaos energy into his being.
Each strand of primordial chaos Qi demanded an extensive supply of five elements energy for its formation—a demanding task, given Braydon’s need to infuse 1854 threads into his 206 bones.
Luckily, the Spirit Sea teemed with endless seawater, ensuring a bountiful supply for Braydon’s endeavor.
Seated atop the Yin-Yang Five Elements Diagram in a cross-legged position, Braydon harnessed the vast expanse of seawater, allowing the diagram to absorb and transmute it into minuscule traces of primordial chaos Qi.
Despite the assistance of his dual-pupils, the process remained arduous.
It consumed half a day to manifest even a mere trace of primordial chaos Qi.
Thus, the accumulation progressed sluggishly—merely two threads during the day and two at night—a total of four in a day.
