"Caw caw... (Master Crow has succeeded! Caw caw!)"

When Yaya's magnificent and extraordinary body broke through the black eggshell and was bathed in sunlight, the golden patterns on its feathers emitted a dazzling brilliance.

The wild and scorching power of the Great Sun at this moment was as obedient as a small soldier, surrounding Yaya like stars supporting the moon.

The golden-red flame mark at Yaya's brow became even more brilliant.

The biggest change was Yaya's size, which grew again. When its wings spread out, it appeared even larger than a person.

Its aura, needless to say, was now completely stable at Tier Two, and its entire body exuded a terrifying pressure.

After adapting to the atmosphere in the sky, Yaya landed in front of Qi Ping.

"Caw caw... (Boss! I've successfully advanced! Hehe...)"

"Not bad! You should have successfully awakened the Great Sun Body too, right?" Qi Ping asked with a smile.

His mood was excellent at the moment, as his animal companion had finally attained a Foundation Establishment Level combat power, and it was a Yang Fire Crow that had awakened the Great Sun Body!

"Caw caw... (Thanks to Boss's nurturing, I have successfully awakened!)

"Caw caw... (Now, not only can I absorb more of the Power of the Great Sun to strengthen my body, but when fighting under the sun, my combat power, endurance, and recovery power... these can all be increased by thirty to forty percent!)"

"Caw caw... (Boss, I haven't fully digested my inherited memories yet, I need to take advantage of this active bloodline to comprehend them, I'll talk to you in detail later!)"

"Alright, go ahead!"

Of course, Qi Ping had no objection; such opportunities were rare, and it was indeed important to seize them.

...

Because Qi Ping wanted to avoid anyone disturbing Yaya's breakthrough, he chose a very secluded place deep in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range for the breakthrough.

Therefore, returning to the peak took Qi Ping quite some time.

Back at the peak, Qi Ping was in an incredibly good mood.

Yaya successfully broke through to Tier Two and awakened the Great Sun Body, making it a rare spirit beast with combat power far surpassing that of ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

"With Yaya breaking through to Tier Two, plus the swarm of ten thousand bees and the Hundred Eyes Demon Realm of the little Flower Demon, the three combined should be more than enough to easily slay ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators..."

This way, there weren't many in Qingshi County that could pose a threat to Qi Ping.

As long as he didn't actively provoke those strong Foundation Establishment Cultivators or attract Golden Core Cultivators, his safety would be assured.

And given Qi Ping's current status, it wasn't even likely that he'd attract late-stage Qi Refining Cultivators.

Then the battle scene Qi Ping might face is something like this:

Enemy (Seventh-Layer of Qi Refining): "A mere early-stage Qi Refining Cultivator, hand over your Storage Bag quickly! And then tell me all you know... in detail."

Qi Ping (releases the Foundation Establishment Stage Yaya from the Spirit Beast Bag): "Why aren't you speaking?"

Enemy (!!!???): "Spare me, sir!"

Qi Ping: "Spare you? Wishful thinking! Yaya, incinerate to ashes!"

...

This type of battle mode is what Qi Ping likes the most.

However, Qi Ping also knows that there's still a possibility of attracting Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Because he had spent a large amount of Spirit Stones at the Cyan Stone Marketplace previously, which might have already been exposed, and now he has rented two pieces of Spiritual Land in Zone B; these behaviors are quite abnormal.

Especially since, in the backdrop of many Loose Cultivators dying or fleeing, he remains unscathed here, which makes him stand out even more; Qi Ping even suspects that the pair of siblings who came looking for trouble last time, only to be killed by Lin Qingshu, possibly came because of this, and not because of Lin Qingshu.

Qi Ping has no better solution for this; in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, wanting to obtain cultivation techniques and resources inevitably leaves many traces, many of which are unavoidable.

And what Qi Ping can do is try to only leave traces within his range of response.

Moreover, it's likely that no one would expect that Qi Ping already possesses the strength to slay ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators; this is Qi Ping's true confidence.

Before revealing his trump card, Qi Ping is generally safe.

However, as the number of people in Qingshi County decreases, he'll eventually be exposed, possibly at any unexpected time.

Especially after the opposing sect of the Cyan Origin Sect sent disciples to Qingshi County who were killed by Meng Yan or Qi Ping, Qingshi County might have already turned into a Foundation Establishment Battlefield.

By then, if Qi Ping gets involved and trouble is made for him, it's no longer a matter of just one Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

If multiple Foundation Establishment Cultivators or those genius disciples from major sects get involved, their combat power could inflict substantial losses on Qi Ping.

"Therefore, it would be best to quickly study and develop a Tier One Intermediate Illusion Array and Concealment Array!"

Once the secret base is established, he could leave some sentries and defense forces on the mountain peak, and unless he needs to acquire cultivation techniques and valuable spiritual medicine, he could stay in his own territory, cultivating and farming peacefully.

Under this pressure, Qi Ping has no choice but to accelerate his research on Illusion Arrays and Concealment Arrays.

Approximately more than two weeks later.

"Success! Tier One Low-Level Basic Illusionary Array 'Illusionary Array of Reality and Illusion'!"

[Illusionary Array of Reality and Illusion: Tier One Low-Level Array, capable of simulating the environment to achieve a lifelike degree; the higher the grade of the simulated item, the greater the distortion.]

At this moment, Qi Ping was satisfactorily looking at the small hillside in front of him, where he had just set up an Illusionary Array, with no visible difference in appearance.

Qi Ping even let a few small sparrows fly over it, and as a result, the sparrows started circling at the edge after touching the illusion array, thinking they were flying as usual.

When they flew back to Qi Ping, they were curious as to why Qi Ping let them fly.

Even a few sparrows far from the array saw normal scenes with no abnormalities.

From the naked eye, Qi Ping couldn't see many issues either, unless he used his Spiritual Power to cover his eyes for close observation or with Divine Sense, only then could he find the abnormalities.

"It seems pretty good, but Tier One Low-Level Illusion Arrays are still a bit crude. Tier One Intermediate Illusion Arrays should be much better!"

After testing, Qi Ping continued his research on Illusion Arrays.

If other Array Masters knew that Qi Ping had taught himself Illusion Arrays in such a short period, it would likely shock them greatly; it's known that the difficulty of setting up Illusion Arrays is several levels higher than the ordinary Five Elements Attribute Arrays.

The reason Qi Ping could research Illusion Arrays so quickly was naturally thanks to the [Enchantment God Seal] and [Hundred Eyes Demon Realm] Talents, along with the support from the little Enchanting Immortal Fox.

Within Tier Two, there are very few who can match the illusion techniques of the Enchanting Immortal Fox, and having such a master in illusion around made Qi Ping's research on basic illusion arrays much easier.

With this successful case, Qi Ping knew that the day he will build his exclusive territory was not far off...
