101: Chapter 101 The Guardian Array and the Burning Sea Technique

A warm atmosphere flowed quietly through the courtyard.

Gu Yan held his daughter, who seemed to embody all the spiritual beauty of heaven and earth, in his arms, his heart filled with peace and contentment.

He felt that in this moment, all his struggles and efforts across two lifetimes had found... the most perfect meaning.

However, just as he was immersed in this immense joy of becoming a father for the first time.

In his mind, the System, which had just announced it was going to write a "post-viewing reflection," popped up again without warning.

This time, its voice carried a business-like, lazy tone, much like an office worker sending a work email attachment.

[ Oh, right, Host. ]

[ The epic-level reward from just now had a slight delay in transmission due to the large data packet; there were two "attachments" that were forgotten to be packed and sent to you. ]

[ They have now been re-issued. ]

Attachments?

Gu Yan was slightly stunned.

Before he could react.

Boom! Boom!

Two distinct yet equally vast and boundless torrents of information, like a bursting heavenly river, exploded without warning within his conscious space!

The first torrent of information transformed into a massive, extremely complex, and profound... 3D Formation map filled with the truths of the Dao!

The Formation map used the entire terrain of the Gu Garden as a sandbox, perfectly encompassing every mountain, every body of water, and every building within the estate!

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise!

Four huge, brilliantly glowing runes were situated in the four directions of the estate, corresponding to the Four Symbols constellations in the sky!

Countless golden Formation lines, thinner than a strand of hair by a billion times, used these four core nodes as a foundation. They connected and intertwined, eventually forming a... foolproof net that enveloped the entire Gu Garden!

[ Ding! Epic-level reward attachment one: [Family Protective Formation · Four Symbols Heaven-Locking Array] (High Grade Profound Rank) complete blueprint, issued! ]

[ Formation introduction: This array is a simplified version of an ancient Sect's mountain-protecting array. Once formed, it can invoke the Star Power of the Four Symbols, connect with the Qi of the earth's veins, and form a protective barrier. It is sufficient to... withstand any attack from below the Golden Core Stage! ]

Sufficient to withstand... any attack from below the Golden Core Stage?!

Gu Yan's heart gave a sharp throb at this simple and brutal introduction!

What kind of concept was this?!

It meant that as long as he could set up this Formation, the entire Gu Family, within this small Baifeng City, would be equivalent to... standing in an invincible position!

This was simply an... ultimate trump card that could allow the Gu Family to settle down and establish themselves!

However, before he could recover from the shock of this incredibly powerful protective Formation.

The second torrent of information had already swept in!

This time, it was not a Formation map.

But a... an ocean of Cultivation Technique composed of countless ancient runes, burning with raging flames and possessing an overbearing aura!

[ Ding! Epic-level reward attachment two: [High Grade Profound Rank Cultivation Technique · "Burning Sea Art"] one copy, issued! ]

[ Cultivation Technique introduction: This technique is a top-tier art where water and fire share the same origin, combining hardness and softness! Cultivating this method will not only multiply the power of the host's fire-attributed Spells! It can also... boil rivers and seas, burn mountains and boil seas, with infinite power! ]

[ Note: This Cultivation Technique is perfectly compatible with the host's current aptitude (High Grade Profound Rank) and can be cultivated seamlessly! Its grade is a full two major Ranks higher than that "Blazing Fire Art" of yours! ]

Rumble!

Gu Yan's entire sea of consciousness was stirred into monstrous waves under the impact of this overbearing Cultivation Technique formula!

Before his eyes, it was as if a doomsday painting of burning mountains, boiling seas, and scorched earth stretching for a thousand miles had appeared!

"What... what an overbearing Cultivation Technique!"

Even with Gu Yan's current Heart-Nature, after receiving these two huge "attachments" that could be called "timely rain," he could not help but feel a storm surging in his heart!

Both shocked and happy!

He knew that these two things had come... truly too timely!

The earth-shattering phenomenon when Gu Xianer was born certainly highlighted the extraordinary nature of the Gu Family.

But at the same time, it undoubtedly pushed the entire Gu Family to... the forefront of the storm!

An innocent man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime!

He did not doubt for a moment that, at this moment, in this Baifeng City, there were countless greedy and covetous eyes secretly staring fixedly at the direction of the Gu Garden!

A huge crisis was crazily brewing beneath the undercurrents!

And the [Four Symbols Heaven-Locking Array] was the "tortoise shell" for the Gu Family to settle down and protect themselves!

The [Burning Sea Art] was his own... supreme blade to defeat enemies and annihilate all invading foes!

[ Warm reminder: The above two "Newbie King" gift packages were specially approved by the headquarters to help the Host safely pass through various crises that may arise after the "Newbie Protection Period" ends. ]

[ Please check and receive them as soon as possible, and put them into use. ]

[ Finally, remember, you must give me a five-star review for this "re-issuance service" in the System store! Dear! ]

The System's voice returned to its familiar corporate slave tone and slowly fell silent.

Gu Yan slowly opened his eyes.

The tenderness and joy of becoming a father in his eyes had long been replaced by a deep, bottomless solemnity and determination.

He knew that he had no time to waste.

He must, before those potential enemies reacted and took action!

Make... full preparations!

He turned around and, in a deep voice, issued orders to the wives behind him who were still immersed in great joy.

"Shen Qingxue!"

"Husband, I am here."

"From now on, mobilize all our liquid funds! At all costs, secretly purchase a batch of... Formation Materials for me!"

A list formed by Divine Sense, detailing the basic Materials needed for the [Four Symbols Heaven-Locking Array], was silently imprinted into Shen Qingxue's mind.

"Ruyan!"

"Husband, what are your orders?"

"From today, the Gu Family guard team will be expanded by double! All areas of the estate are to be patrolled 24 hours a day without interruption! Anyone who dares to trespass..."

A flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes!

"Kill without mercy!"

"Yes!"

"As for me..."

Gu Yan took a deep breath and carefully returned his daughter, who was still fast asleep in his arms, to Leng Yuechan.

"I will... go into seclusion again!"

What he needed to do was, within the shortest possible time, to convert all his Cultivation Techniques to...

stronger and more overbearing...

"Burning Sea Art"!

A huge storm that would sweep across the entire Baifeng City was about to arrive.

And he must, before the storm arrived!

For his Family, for his child, for the entire Gu Family...

forge a weapon that was sufficient to...

burn and destroy all enemies...

an unparalleled ferocious weapon!
