The Third Elder was somewhat skeptical, but since even the Sect Master had agreed, he couldn't say much more. He simply asked, "Does the Sect Master allow you to become a formation master?"

"Yes." Chen Zhou was a little embarrassed; this was a lie.

"Alright then. If you want to learn array formations and make significant progress and achieve great things, this Crimson Dragon Array Diagram is definitely not enough. You must change your main cultivation method when you have the opportunity in the future," the Third Elder instructed.

However, everyone knows how difficult it is to master a cultivation technique, especially a formation-based cultivation technique. Almost every one of them is a treasure of a sect or family.

Chen Zhou nodded and replied, "Okay, Master, I'll be setting off tomorrow."

The Third Elder replied, "The Sect Master has already given the order. We have prepared everything you need: ordinary Daoist robes and daily necessities. Get a good night's sleep tonight, and set off tomorrow. Although I don't know exactly what task the Sect Master has assigned you, I still hope that you will prioritize your own safety during the mission."

Chen Zhou accepted the Crimson Dragon Formation Diagram handed to him by the Third Elder.

"Master, I know." Chen Zhou looked at the Third Elder, a hint of reluctance in his eyes. This was the first time he had left the Sword Cloud Sect, and also the first time he had returned to the mortal world since he could remember.

Aside from a little curiosity, Chen Zhou didn't have any other feelings. His main purpose for this trip was to complete the task assigned by the sect, not to experience the secular world. What did the secular world have to do with him?

Then the Third Elder sighed softly, turned and left; all good things must come to an end.

Watching the Third Elder leave, Chen Zhou felt a mix of emotions. He immediately went into the wooden house and memorized the Crimson Dragon Formation Diagram. Then he lit a fire and burned the copy.

......

The next day, Chen Zhou woke up at the crack of dawn. The notification sound in his head would repeat every minute, and as soon as he became even slightly more awake, he would fall into the addictive loop of the system notification sound.

So Chen Zhou got up early and looked around the little wooden house where he had lived for so long, but there was nothing he could take with him.

The tailor has already prepared all my daily necessities and clothes, and I'm ready to set off at any time.

Chen Zhou didn't know when he would set off, so he simply stayed on the big rock in front of the wooden house and began to cultivate his pupil technique.

Practicing eye techniques doesn't count as true cultivation; it's just practicing skills, so the system notification sound never stopped.

"Ding! The host has not cultivated for one minute. Qi and blood value +4, root bone value +4, true qi value +4."

The morning sun had just risen, and the outside world was full of vitality, making it the perfect time to cultivate eye techniques. Chen Zhou decided to spend some time cultivating his eye techniques every morning.

After all, the pupil technique plays a crucial role in his Wind and Cloud Dragon Roar Divine Array Diagram. If his pupil technique is poor, it will be difficult for him to learn those eighty-one arrays.

Chen Zhou has now learned a minor confinement array, so his true energy has undergone some subtle changes. After releasing his true energy, faint outlines of small arrays will appear, which are the minor confinement arrays.

However, Chen Zhou has not yet truly mastered it; otherwise, he could set up a small confinement array with a mere gesture.

Similarly, his true energy will also carry this formation, and that will be the time when his strength undergoes a true qualitative change. This is the power of the Wind and Cloud Dragon Roar Divine Formation Diagram; it can make the formation dissolve into the true energy, allowing the true energy to carry the effects of the formation.

When one reaches the highest level of mastery, there are eighty-one formations within one's true energy, which is extremely terrifying.

"Senior brother! Senior brother! Senior brother! This is the breakfast prepared for you by the Third Elder, and you must go to Tianmen Mountain immediately after you finish eating."

Just as Chen Zhou was practicing his pupil technique, a junior disciple climbed up the mountain and rushed to Chen Zhou's side, saying...

Chen Zhou nodded and said, "Thank you, junior brother. Then I'll trouble you to lead the way."

"You're welcome, you're welcome! Senior brother, you're now the idol of all the disciples of Jianyun!"

The junior brother said shyly, "According to legend, Senior Brother Chen Zhou is gentle and refined, methodical in his work, and has made outstanding contributions to the Sword Cloud Sect by slaying evil spirits on the battle stage. He has now been promoted to an outer sect elder ahead of schedule, and today he is going down the mountain to carry out his first eldership mission."

Upon hearing that he was to deliver morning dew to his senior brother Chen Zhou, he was extremely eager to do so. He got up early and waited at Tianmen Mountain, hoping that the Third Elder would choose him. He longed to meet Chen Zhou once.

Because he also has the heart of a chivalrous knight.

That's why he came to the Sword Cloud Sect. Unfortunately, he lacked talent and could only work as a menial disciple, farming in the Sword Cloud Sect.

Chen Zhou felt a little embarrassed. He had never cared about such things before, but it was strange that someone had said it to his face.

"Junior brother, this is just a few words of praise. We cultivators focus on the Dao heart, not on such worldly praise."

Chen Zhou said in a pretentious manner, and after saying this, he felt that he had risen to a higher level. There was nothing he could do; that's just how capricious he was, senior brother.

Upon hearing this, the junior disciple was filled with admiration and wished he could immediately become Chen Zhou's disciple, since no master was willing to take him in as a menial disciple.

"Senior brother, you are so amazing! I wish I could become like you."

The junior brother said sincerely.

Chen Zhou could also see that he had come from the same path, but he was more fortunate to have been taken in by the Third Elder out of pity.

"Junior brother, what's your name? I see you have the potential to cultivate immortality, so I'll introduce you to my master."

Chen Zhou liked people with ideals, and he had a very good impression of this junior brother.

The junior brother was completely dumbfounded. He had only brought his senior brother breakfast, and his senior brother was actually going to introduce him to the Third Elder?!

If I say that, I'll have a chance to cultivate immortality!

Then your dream might come true!

The junior brother was so happy that he blurted out whatever he wanted.

"I...I'm called...Peng Xiaodeng..."
