"Furthermore," according to the Lord of Bai's Mansion, "after entering the True Realm, cultivation should mainly shift its focus onto authority. I must also pay attention to the cultivation of authority."
Thinking over this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but stand up and walk around the room. Contemplating the contents recorded by the Lord of Bai's Mansion helped him once again clarify his direction.
The key to cultivation was undoubtedly to focus on enhancing his own authority, and the method to do so could be divided into two steps.
First: Without question, it was to eliminate the suppression of external authority on oneself, including the Five Elements Power, Yin Yang Power, Power of Life and Death, and possibly two or more currently unknown forces.
This was to eradicate the influence of external forces.
The second was to enhance authority through increasing one's own strength, primarily by finding various cultivation methods that could improve authority.
However, according to the Lord of Bai's Mansion, there was no shortage of cultivation methods to enhance authority, but those that could break one's personal limits were extremely rare. Most were in the hands of Heavenly Gods, and obtaining them was unimaginably difficult.
Think about it, if even the Lord of Bai's Mansion, who was once a top-ranked True God, couldn't acquire those cultivation methods, how could it be easy for Xiao Mu to do so?
"No matter what, let's start by looking for the legacy materials left by the Lord of Bai's Mansion. The Lord of Bai's Mansion himself claimed to create a cultivation method that would break his own limits and become a Heavenly God. Besides this tile, there must be other materials left behind."
As he pondered, Xiao Mu placed the ancient tile into the Earth Seal Space.
"The grand leader has asked me to take over the Logistics Department, but once I begin searching for the legacy materials left by the Lord of Bai's Mansion, I fear I will no longer have time to manage the Logistics Department."
"Anyway, after I find resources for the Logistics Department this time, I'll propose to the grand leader to resign from my position as head of the Logistics Department."
"If the grand leader asks me if I won't be the head of the Logistics Department, and nobody else wants to do it, who will? If no one does it, how will the Logistics ensure its operation?"
"Being a part of the human world, one should not be so selfish, but there are ways to contribute to humanity other than being the head of the Logistics Department."
"Even if I resign from the head of the Logistics Department, I can still make contributions to the human world, perhaps even as much as or more than the Logistics Department head could."
"Moreover, the position of the Logistics Department head severely interferes with my cultivation."
"My strength at the Divine Spirit Level is still too low. If I could become a Heavenly God, my contribution to the human world would undoubtedly be much greater than that of the Logistics Department head."
With this thought, Xiao Mu felt as if a heavy stone had been lifted from his heart.
After taking on the job of head of the Logistics Department, he realized that the role was not particularly well-suited for himself.
Indeed, in the Great Tang Ruins, no one could handle the job better than he could, but that was for the Great Tang Ruins, not necessarily good for him personally, as it could impact his personal power development.
After all, the role of the head of the Logistics Department was too busy, leaving him no time to practice cultivation every day. This was clearly not good for Xiao Mu, who was being pursued by the Heavenly Court.
The reason the Heavenly Court was after him was partly due to the Emperor Authority in his hands and partly because his rapid progression in cultivation posed a threat to the Heavenly Court.
And being the head of the Logistics Department, his speed of cultivation was affected, which in turn greatly reduced the threat he posed to the Heavenly Court.
Obviously, this was what the Heavenly Court hoped for.
"The grand leader has made a blunder, I don't understand his thinking, to actually make me the head of the Logistics Department. Doesn't he realize that slowing down my strength development can do much more harm than good for the Great Tang Ruins?"
"The stronger I am, the higher my Realm, the greater the benefits I bring to the Great Tang Ruins."
"The grand leader does have his weaknesses, after all; he can't foresee everything. It's okay. I'll propose my resignation to the grand leader after the cooperation work with Twilight Forest Village is completed. For now, I'll just focus on doing my current job well."
Musing to himself, Xiao Mu soon came to terms with the situation, and his whole being felt much lighter.
His cellphone suddenly vibrated. Xiao Mu took out his cellphone and discovered that it was a message from Lv Liangping.
He hurriedly unlocked his phone to read the message.
Lv Liangping: Detailed information on Five Elements Sect's Ruin No. 3.
"This is the information for Ruin No. 3 of the Five Elements Sect. Chief Lv has quickly organized and sent it to me."
The beginning of the message brought Xiao Mu joy, and he hurriedly opened the information to inspect it closely.
The documentation for the Five Elements Sect's third ruins included a map and some descriptions.
Xiao Mu opened the map and looked at it intently on his cellphone, only to be quickly overwhelmed by its complexity.
The map was extremely intricate, marked with various Array nodes amidst swirling clouds and fog, where strange powers layered and vanished. The nodes interlinked like a spider's web, fully displaying the Great Array's formidable might.
Before long, Xiao Mu who lacked understanding of Arrays, closed the map and began to scrutinize the related documentation.
The documentation mainly consisted of explanations about the Array, such as how large it was, its exact nature, the number of nodes it included, and the vastness of its power.
Xiao Mu, lacking the necessary expert knowledge, again felt a headache coming on.
"Forget it, it's better to leave professional matters to the professionals. Yang Jun should be at home, I'll bring him the documentation to have a look, and while I'm at it, hand over the Chaos Material for him to craft the Array Breaking Order."
With this thought, Xiao Mu left his home and went to the Yang siblings' residence.
Yang Yu was still at work, and Yang Jun welcomed Xiao Mu.
After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Mu took out his cellphone and forwarded the information to Yang Jun, "Brother Yang, could you take a look at this map for me?"
"A 'B-grade' Great Array!"
Yang Jun enlarged the map on his tablet, and after just one glance, he couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.
"A 'B-grade' Great Array?"
Xiao Mu, who knew a bit about Array knowledge, was impressed that Yang Jun could identify the level of the Five Elements Sect's third ruins Great Array with just one look. While marveling at how an Array Master truly differed from ordinary people, he inquired, "Brother Yang, can you tell what kind of Array this is?"
"This is a Guardian Array, a type of Concealment Array. If I'm not mistaken, there should be treasures buried beneath it. Brother Xiao, where did you get this map, and where is the Array marked on it located?"
Mention of the Array had piqued Yang Jun's interest, for after all, he was an Array Master and couldn't resist the urge to delve into Arrays.
"The Array is not within our Great Tang ruins. If Brother Yang was hoping for an on-site inspection, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed," Xiao Mu guessed Yang Jun's thoughts and interrupted them with a single statement.
"What a pity, it's not a ruins site from the Great Tang. Brother Xiao, you sure have a wide network of acquaintances," Yang Jun looked up at Xiao Mu, suddenly feeling envious.
As the descendant of the Ancient Times Array Master, Yang Yuan, who was currently at a critical juncture in his inheritance, Yang Jun was well aware that the Great Tang ruins wouldn't let him leave just like that, not to mention that the Life and Death Sect was still in search of his whereabouts.
"It's nothing, you flatter me,"
Xiao Mu humbly waved his hand, "Brother Yang, based on your knowledge of Arrays, can you deduce what kind of treasures might be hidden beneath this Great Array?"
"Generally speaking…"
Yang Jun pondered for a moment, "Guardian Arrays and Concealment Arrays are used to store various treasures. The higher the Array's level, the higher the level of the treasures it contains, and the larger the Array, the more treasures it holds."
"According to the level of this Guardian Array that Brother Xiao has provided, there likely are Divine Spirit Level treasures within. Judging by its size, the treasures involved are not few; there could potentially be as many as a dozen or even dozens of different types."
"A dozen? Dozens?"
Xiao Mu suddenly interjected, interrupting Yang Jun mid-sentence.
Clearly misunderstanding Xiao Mu's intention, thinking that his sudden remark indicated dissatisfaction with the small number of treasures the Array might contain, Yang Jun hastily said, "Do you think there are too few treasures, Brother Xiao? On the contrary, Brother Xiao, the function of this kind of Concealment Array is not only to store treasures. Most of its contents are resources, and in fact, the actual treasures only make up a very small part."
"The dozen or so kinds, even dozens that I just mentioned are only speculative based on professional knowledge. There will be some discrepancies in reality, but generally, they are not too significant."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu knew Yang Jun had misunderstood his intention. His remark was not because he thought there were too few treasures in the Array; rather, he was surprised by the abundance of treasures it contained.
Without arguing with Yang Jun, Xiao Mu just smiled, "Brother Yang, are you able to craft an Array Breaking Order capable of decoding this Array?"
