219 eting: Secret Force Established!
Suo Hao elaborated on the ship's functions, detailing its capabilities to teleport multiple tis over long distances.
The ship, a marvel of rune technology, seed to resonate with Arthur's own connection to runes.
In the inner sanctum of the flying ship, Suo Hao gestured towards an elaborate console adorned with glowing symbols.
"This ship," Suo Hao explained, "is fueled by spiritual energy."
Suo Hao pointed at a hole at the center, "You just have to drop sufficient spirit crystals for it to run."
"You can control its movents and teleportation functions using these runes."
Arthur nodded, absorbing the intricacies of the ship's operation.
"So only a Rune Array Master can drive this thing?"
"Yes."
"I see."
They left the ship and Arthur placed it in his inner world after which Suo Hao spoke again.
"It was this ship that I used to sail through the realms and its artifact spirit is in slumber."
"You will need at least Ninth Level Runes to awaken it. If it is awakened it can drive the ship while you do other things."
"The artifact spirit is also familiar with many immortal realms, so therefore it can be a lot of help when you ascend."
Arthur nodded in appreciation, "Then I thank you for this gift."
Suo Hao waved his hand, "No need for thanks between us. All I ask is that my son be by your side as he has nowhere else to go."
"You want him to stay with ?"
"Yes," Suo Hao nodded firmly.
Arthur then agreed as he won't mind having soone talented following him.
Suo Hao for so reason trusts that Arthur won't do any evil to his son.
Yet, as his gaze t Suo Hao's, a weighty question lingered in the air.
"Senior," Arthur began, "what must I do to awaken your son, Suo Tian?"
Suo Hao's expression turned solemn, and the ethereal glow of his remnant seed to dim.
"To awaken Suo Tian, your cultivation must reach the Nascent Soul Realm and then a certain level of comprehension of the Dao of Fate is required."
Arthur's brows furrowed in contemplation.
Fate Dao, he already has so comprehension of it.
But he decided to keep that to himself as it would be too shocking otherwise.
Moreover, he is still cautious with Suo Hao and can't trust him completely.
Hence, he must always have sothing of value in case there cos a ti of disagreent, he will have sothing irresistible to bargain with.
Suo Hao sighed.
*Sigh*
"But the Fate Dao is a Supre Dao and only a few giants of the immortal cultivation can even have so grasp of its power."
"If that is the case then why do you believe I have a chance of comprehending the Fate Dao?" Arthur asked.
"That is because the one who is Fateless, whose fate cannot be known is more likely to comprehend the Fate Dao when their Nascent Soul is ford."
Arthur nodded thoughtfully as he rembers his first incarnation.
'The Fateless One, I was called. Maybe it was that comprehension of the power of Fate that allowed to survive the tribulation to ascend to the upper realm back then.'

Blue Crystal City bustled with activity as Arthur erged from the alleyways, the shadows of towering buildings casting intermittent patches of darkness on the cobbled streets.
The city's heartbeat pulsed with life, oblivious to the clandestine machinations hidden within its depths.
Arthur proceeded to a particular alley, where three figures awaited his arrival.
As he approached, the n he hadn't seen for two years, Kaiser, Tanik, and Brandon bowed respectfully.
"Master," Kaiser spoke, his voice carrying the weight of loyalty, "we've prepared the hall for your arrival."
Arthur nodded, and the trio led him through concealed passages, weaving through the labyrinthine underbelly of Blue Crystal City.
The clandestine journey culminated in the entrance to a hidden hall, where an empty throne awaited Arthur's presence.
Seated upon the throne, Arthur surveyed the trio.
Kaiser, the stoic leader, Tanik, the agile strategist, and Brandon, the silent powerhouse — each a pillar in the intricate network Arthur had established.
Arthur's gaze paused at Brandon as he noticed that the youngest of the three had surpassed his older brothers in cultivation level.
He must be the most talented then.
"Report," Arthur commanded, his eyes reflecting the subtle authority he held over this clandestine assembly.
Kaiser stepped forward, "Master, the plan is proceeding smoothly. I have secured control of the Sky Serpent Sect, and its resources now flow into our network."
Tanik, his mind sharp as a blade, added, "The Crimson Moon Sect is under my influence. Their trade routes are now ours to manipulate."
Brandon, the silent enforcer, spoke last, "The Stormwind Alliance has bowed to my influence. They now await your guidance."
"Tell the details."
"Yes, Master."
Arthur listened intently, absorbing the strategic victories achieved by his loyal disciples.
The chessboard of power across the continent was rearranging itself under his influence.
"Good," Arthur acknowledged, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes.
"The foundation is solidifying. Continue to cultivate these connections, but maintain discretion. I don't want to attract unnecessary attention for now."
The trio nodded in unison, understanding what must be done.
"Give a minute. I want to be alone for a while," Arthur commanded.
The trio left swiftly after that, leaving Arthur alone.
"Cora," he called out.
*Swift!*
Cora appeared before him but her expression was one of slight dissatisfaction.
"So you finally recalled my existence, 'Master'?"
Arthur smiled, slightly apologetic.
"Co on now, you know I had important matters to attend to."
"Fine, I understand. So what do you need?"
"Hmm, how much of your strength have you recovered?" Arthur asked.
"Martial Ancestor Realm," Cora smiled.
Arthur nodded, "It seems those resources were of help?"
"Of course. Even though they were low-ranked these were still rare and even extinct resources from a hundred thousand years ago. So of which are rare even in the upper realms."
Arthur had given her so of the resources of the Red Sky Sect to help speed up her recovery just like he promised.
Also, her strength is valuable to Arthur.
"This ans you can make Tier 7 pills?"
"Of course! Who do you think I am?" Cora raised her head in pride.
"I see. I have a matter I want your help with. But before that I need the Soul Seal Technique you have."
