Zhou Qing gave an awkward smile.
The fact that he was an Array Master probably wouldn’t stay secret for long, especially with restrictions everywhere.
Moreover, Second Uncle had a significant and extraordinary meaning to him.
"Quickly tell me, what exactly happened?" Second Uncle asked hurriedly.
Zhou Qing briefly described the events that had occurred at Spirit Skull Mountain.
However, he deliberately concealed matters regarding Master Xuanqing.
After all, some things were difficult to explain, like the mysterious Starry Battlefield. Once mentioned, it would likely raise more hard-to-answer questions.
He only mentioned that by sheer chance, he had obtained an Array Jade Scroll which was a one-time item that vanished without a trace after refinement.
After hearing Zhou Qing’s words, Second Uncle beat his chest in frustration once again.
Missing an opportunity as grand as the Golden-winged Roc might be forgivable, but who would have thought that an inconspicuous place like Spirit Skull Mountain concealed the inheritance of a Fifth-level Array Master.
Could it be that ages ago, a Master of Restriction from a Fifth-level Cultivation Country had visited there?
However, luckily the Suanni Bone was still there, which was a small mercy amidst the misfortune.
At this moment, Second Uncle gazed at Zhou Qing with a complex expression.
He subconsciously reached out as if to say something, but then fell silent, unsure where to start.
This guy, surprisingly, just like himself, had already become a First-level Array Master, but earlier at Little Spirit Peak, he had pretended to be greatly impressed by his array knowledge. Who knew what he was really thinking at that time?
"Do not speak carelessly about this inheritance, or you will certainly face a deadly calamity!" Second Uncle warned sternly after a moment of contemplation.
In the harsh and competitive world of cultivation, precious inheritances often attracted countless greedy eyes, and a slight carelessness could lead to a catastrophe.
Zhou Qing nodded repeatedly, indicating he understood.
"But one can’t learn without a teacher. After this matter, come with me to the White Jade Taixu Courtyard in Vast Mansion!" Second Uncle pondered before speaking. Check latest chapters at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽
Zhou Qing was taken aback.
Second Senior Sister and the White Crane had gone to Vast Mansion.
Ke Shu, who came with a portrait to find the Divine Ruins Celestial Palace Token last time, was the son of the Mansion Master of Vast Mansion.
Seeing Zhou Qing’s confusion, Second Uncle patiently explained, "The Holy Martial Dynasty, as a newly established Fourth-level Cultivation Country, governs over Eight Prefectures and Seventy-Two Mansions. In this vast domain, there are only two Third-level Array Masters and nine Second-level Array Masters, making their numbers even rarer than those in the Spirit Severing Realm."
"These Array Masters guard their inheritances extremely tightly, hardly leaking a single piece of information to the outside."
"You suddenly mastering the art of array deployment and restriction nullification, if discovered, will definitely draw others’ investigation. If they trace it back and find out you have obtained an unknown Array Master’s heritage, they might covet it and bring disaster upon you."
Upon hearing Second Uncle’s words, Zhou Qing fell into deep thought, then slowly said, "So, I need an identity."
Second Uncle nodded approvingly, "Exactly, don’t underestimate this seemingly insignificant identity. In time, you will understand its importance."
Zhou Qing pondered. The furthest place he had been was Lingyun Mansion.
Now, given that even Second Uncle, a Spirit Severing Realm expert, was so cautious about this matter, it seemed that the identity of an Array Master indeed carried extraordinary significance.
Thinking of Master Xuanqing as a Ninth-level Array Master, his esteemed status was almost unimaginable.
After a brief consideration, Zhou Qing decisively nodded.
After all, the Five Sects War had ended, and staying here would not lead to greater achievements.
Second Uncle, seeing Zhou Qing agree, immediately broke into a joyful smile.
"I have now become an inner courtyard disciple of the White Jade Taixu Courtyard. With me as your sponsor, you can surely join the courtyard effortlessly. Then, you will be my junior brother!"
Second Uncle grinned and laughed heartily.
