At the peak of Nine Cloud Peak, the cloud sea surged like raging waves.

A red-gold flood dragon coiled at the highest point of the peaks, its dragon head held high. As it breathed, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi transformed into a visible misty glow, swirling around its body like ribbons.

The dragon scales gleamed with a metallic chill under the skylight filtering through the gaps in the clouds, each one seemingly cast from red gold, with edges emitting a faint flame light.

The dragon's body meandered, stretching over thirty zhang long. When coiled, it resembled a red mountain, and with every breath, it summoned clouds and rain from all directions.

"Whoosh—"

The flood dragon inhaled sharply, causing the surrounding cloud sea to surge violently, transforming into roaring spirit rain dragons that dove down and precisely poured over the thousand acres of Spirit Field below the peak.

The Tier Three Spirit Grain planted in the Spirit Field, nourished by this Spirit Rain, instantly became plump by threefold. The leaves unfolded, emitting a subtle hum, as if grateful for the nurturing of the sweet rain.

The Spirit Rain fell not in chaos, but following a mysterious rhythm, evenly permeating the Spiritual Qi into every inch of soil, revealing the caster's exquisite control over Spiritual Power.

The next moment, crimson light burst around the crimson flood dragon!

Its dragon body contracted sharply, scales vanished, and the dragon head transformed into a human face, the dragon claws retreated into hands. In just a few breaths, it became a man dressed in a red-patterned cyan robe.

Chen Sheng stood with hands behind his back, black hair fluttering without wind, his eyes opening and closing with a hidden dragon might. He looked at the Spirit Field below and heartily laughed:

"Hundreds of years have passed, and I still perform this Cloud Rain Skill quite well!"

Once upon a time, even irrigating ten acres of Spirit Field required him to sit and restore his Mana several times. Now, nourishing a thousand acres of High Grade Spirit Field was a breeze for him.

The next moment, he looked up at the Restriction Spiritual Light circulating around Nine Cloud Peak. Those spiritual lights flowed like water among the mountains, ancient trees, and clouds, weaving into a tight, impenetrable net.

The runes engraved on it were intricate and profound, with faint phenomena of lightning, fierce fire, and ice appearing, precisely the Mountain Protection Array "Nine Palace Locking Element Array" of Nine Cloud Peak.

This grand array was set up by a Sect elder proficient in Array Vein, rooted in the quasi-fourth-rank Spirit Vein of Nine Cloud Peak, reaching the level of a Tier Three Top Grade Grand Array.

Chen Sheng held the core Array Order, perfectly controlling this grand array.

"Oh?"

Chen Sheng's sword-like brows slightly arched, Sword Heart Clarity instantly operated, as if an invisible sharp sword within his Mind Sea, quickly probing along the array's vein.

Although his Array Dao Cultivation was not as advanced as the elder who set this array, he had already grasped its essence.

At this moment, using Sword Heart alongside array knowledge, it was like finding the lead in a tangle, soon capturing a node where Spiritual Power flow slightly slowed.

It was an inconspicuous cliff on the northeast side, the terrain of which happened to obscure the junction of the Restriction Spiritual Light, causing a slight sluggishness in the rune connection.

"Here it is."

Chen Sheng's heart was certain, the Qi Blood Golden Core within his Dantian suddenly heated up, the blood-colored Gang Qi flowing on its surface rolling like boiling magma, rapidly rushing towards the glabella through the meridians.

This was his Blood Gang Divine Technique "Forbidden Breaking Divine Light", which required using his own Blood Gang as a catalyst to activate.

"Buzz—"

At the glabella, a crimson point lit up, then transformed into a fine thread-like invisible divine light containing terrifying penetration, silently shooting out and accurately hitting that Restriction node.

In an instant, the originally integrated Restriction Spiritual Light fluctuated violently, like the calm water surface being hit by a giant stone, stirring up layers of ripples.

Immediately after, a light golden gap about one zhang wide suddenly appeared, the boundary runes flickered intensely, emitting a "sizzling" sound, as if desperately resisting something.

This gap lasted only for three breaths before closing like a receding tide, finally disappearing completely, the Restriction restored to its perfect state.

Chen Sheng slowly exhaled a murky breath, a trace of satisfaction flashing in his eyes:

"Although this Restriction is a weak point, it still has the strength of a Tier Three High Grade."

"Now at the Body Refining Seventh Layer, relying solely on 'Forbidden Breaking Divine Light' can break it for an instant, enough to gain a sliver of life in a crisis."

He lightly nodded, thinking to himself: This "Forbidden Breaking Divine Light" combined with Sword Heart Insight to detect flaws, and aided by array knowledge, is indeed a lifesaving weapon.

In the Cultivation Realm, dangers are everywhere; being trapped in a dead end, or being pursued by strong enemies is common. With this divine technique, one can find a glimmer of life in desperate situations.

"When my cultivation advances further, achieving Great Success of Body Refining, and Qi Blood Golden Core Perfection, the power of this divine light will surely be even greater. By then, even the void lockdown of a Nascent Soul True Monarch might not be impenetrable!"

Nascent Soul Cultivators wield Void Power, and with one move of "Void Grand Capture", they can imprison the surrounding space, making it almost impossible to escape from that invisible space cage, no matter how powerful one is.

For Golden Core Cultivators, it's almost a certain death situation, utterly despairing.

But with this divine technique, Chen Sheng might have a chance to find a sliver of life in such a deadly situation.

Calming his Heart Spirit, Chen Sheng stopped thinking further, turning his gaze toward the mountain below, murmuring to himself:

"Time to attend to sect duties."

The sect's arrangement for duties is quite humane, not strictly demanding completion each year.

After all, a cultivator's retreat varies from a few months to several years, imposing a fixed time limit would be unreasonable.

This year is Chen Sheng's third year in the sect, the first two years spent in seclusion, focusing entirely on breaking into the Pill Transformation Realm, accumulating three uncompleted duties, now ready to settle them all at once.

He flicked his finger, and a lustrous jade scroll flew out from his sleeve, suspended in front of him.
