Title: Adored by Thousands. Increases Commander Value by 100 points!
He had seen this Commander Value before. The Commander’s Treasure Manual was specifically for increasing it. Its effect was simple and usually difficult to perceive. Essentially, it made his words more convincing, causing others to naturally rally around him.
’This is rather interesting...’
Fulfilling this condition was not simple. It required a thousand or more people to admire him deeply to obtain this title. The entire rak Sect had over a thousand mbers, which ant nearly everyone in the sect adored him!
With this title, his words carried more weight and were far more convincing. For example, if he went to an unfamiliar place and suddenly stood up to lead the people sowhere, a high Commander Value would an others would imdiately be willing to listen and follow him. If his Commander Value were low, no one would pay him any mind.
After exchanging a few more words with them, Yi Tianyun left. He didn’t linger, instead heading for the core region of the Celestial Sinking Ruins. The Flying Array was located there, and he was now on his way to repair it.
He soon arrived inside the Celestial Sinking Ruins. The ground was densely covered with Divine Runes, each one looking incredibly profound. At the edge of the array were six grooves, indicating that sothing was ant to be placed inside them.
’Six grooves... Looks like I’ll need to place six massive Jade Spirit Stones here. Otherwise, there’s no way to activate this Flying Array.’ Staring at the grooves, Yi Tianyun knew he would have to find six huge and perfectly intact Jade Spirit Stones.
They would undoubtedly be extrely expensive, but he could purchase them from the Star Pavilion, so it wasn’t an insurmountable problem. The priority now was to repair the Flying Array. Once it was fixed, the rest would be simple.
’I can probably start the repairs now. After so long, quite a few spots have been damaged...’ Yi Tianyun’s eyes swept over the array, getting a general sense of the difficulty. Even though he had reached Master-level Divine Rune Mastery, the repairs would still be far from simple.
Repairing an array was actually more difficult than creating one from scratch. After all, every Divine Rune Master had a unique engraving thod. Following the original creator’s patterns required extre precision.
He took out the Spirit-controlling Pen and prepared to begin. Just then, Elder Xuan erged from the side and stared at him in astonishnt. "Master, you’re going to repair this Flying Array?"
"That’s right. The ti is right to repair the Flying Array," Yi Tianyun said.
"But that requires a Master’s skill level! You’ve already reached it?" Elder Xuan asked in shock.
"That’s right. Is there a problem?" Yi Tianyun said with a faint smile.
"Th-This is too fast, isn’t it?" Elder Xuan stamred in shock. "From what I recall, the expert who originally engraved this Flying Array was at least seventy or eighty years old, and you’re already at that level..."
"So things can’t be asured by age, you know?" Yi Tianyun chuckled. He then activated his Celestial Eye. The dense network of Divine Runes instantly filled his vision, every minute detail rendered with perfect clarity.
To ensure a perfect repair, using the Celestial Eye was essential. Once activated, he could imdiately identify every flaw and determine the precise amount of energy needed for the repair. It was an incredibly useful ability.
While he could have managed the repairs without the Celestial Eye, there was no reason not to use it. Its use dramatically increased the success rate. It might not guarantee a flawless outco, but it at least boosted his chances of success significantly.
Ignoring Elder Xuan’s shocked gaze, he began his work, repairing the damaged sections one by one. With the help of the Spirit-controlling Pen, a Soul Artifact Treasure, the task wasn’t overly difficult, and he made considerable progress.
"Ding! Successfully repaired a Master-level Divine Rune. Received 50,000 EXP, 500 Divine Rune Mastery Proficiency points!"
"Ding! Successfully repaired a Master-level Divine Rune. Received 30,000 EXP, 300 Divine Rune Mastery Proficiency points!"
"Ding! Successfully repaired..."
...
He repaired them one by one. The more difficult a section was to fix, the more experience and proficiency he gained. Of course, that wasn’t his primary focus. The most important thing was to get the Flying Array working again as quickly as possible.
For the following period, he remained there, repairing the array day and night. Whenever he grew tired, he would step out to rest for a while before resuming his work. The Flying Array had so many damaged areas that fixing it was almost as much work as engraving a completely new one.
Even so, he had to repair it. An array of this type was intrinsically bound to its location. If he were to engrave a new one, he would have to rebuild the Celestial Sinking Ruins from the ground up.
"Finally... it’s done."
Yi Tianyun let out a long breath. After working for over a week, he had finally finished repairing the Flying Array, gaining a good deal of experience and proficiency in the process. While the gains were nowhere near as fast as those from combat, they were still substantial.
Now that the repairs were complete, the entire Flying Array shimred with the luster it was ant to have, looking no different from its original state.
"Master, you... you really fixed it..." Elder Xuan was utterly stunned when he saw the result.
"What, did you think I was lying?" Yi Tianyun rolled his eyes.
"Ding! Successfully repaired all arrays in the Celestial Sinking Ruins. Reward: 1,000,000 EXP, 10,000 Divine Rune Mastery Proficiency points!"
"Ding! Proceeding to Main Quest Step 2: Successfully upgrade to the rak Mansion level and relocate to the Celestial Realm Continent!"
"Ding! Current Progress: Spirit Pill Stage Experts: 1/5. Core Formation Stage Experts: 6/50. Spirit Refining Stage Disciples: 80/600. Due to the presence of one Pill Transformation Stage expert, the difficulty has been halved. New requirents: Spirit Pill Stage Experts: 1/3. Core Formation Stage Experts: 6/25. Spirit Refining Stage Disciples: 80/300!"
Another new notification popped up, leaving him stunned. These were the requirents for becoming a Third-Grade Faction! And this was with the difficulty halved—a bonus granted only because a Pill Transformation Stage expert, naly himself, was present!
Many of the weaker Third-Grade Factions didn’t even have a Pill Transformation Stage expert, so having one provided a solid foundation of power.
’Looks like this is going to be tough...’ Yi Tianyun gave a wry smile. The requirents were steep. Even with the difficulty halved, it was still a daunting task.
This was the absolute minimum. Originally, a faction couldn’t even be considered Third-Grade without five Spirit Pill Stage experts. The requirent of fifty Core Formation Stage experts was even more staggering; even halved to twenty-five, the number was enough to make one’s head spin.
The Spirit Refining Stage disciple quota was more manageable. As their mbers’ cultivation advanced, that number would be t soon enough. The requirents for higher-level experts were the real headache. For other Third-Grade Factions, this was commonplace. Their deacons were at the Core Formation Stage, and one could find such experts just by walking around their territory. For them, it was hardly an issue.
But for the rak Sect, with its shallow foundation, the difficulty was imnse. They’d simply had too little ti. Even with a good cultivation environnt and ample Elixir Pills, cultivation still took ti. Not everyone was a supre genius.
’It seems the best way to complete this mission is to quickly rge our two factions. However, the mbers who join can’t have a low Favorability score, or it won’t count...’
Yi Tianyun’s eyes narrowed. This ant he would need to establish absolute prestige within the Celestial Extre Mansion. Once he did that, reaching a Favorability score of 200 with its mbers wouldn’t be a problem.
