Chapter 209: Chapter 207: The Third Great Boundary (Part 2)_1

On one side, Matthew couldn’t help but feel annoyed. Although it was a fact and he accepted the promotion, hearing a lowly flag officer say it out louid, where was his face as a Prescott?

He slapped Ethereal Devin on the back of his head and scolded, "Fool!" Then he took the lead in congratulating Owen Bertram with a bow: "Congratulations, sir, on your promotion to Prescott!"

It was only then that the military officers realized: The Chief Flag has been promoted to Prescott!

Cheers erupted at the outpost!

"Is this the fastest record for a promotion to Prescott in our Horizon Bureau?"

"It must be. Our superior is just amazing, we chose the right person to follow!"

Of course, the subordinates were excited. When their superior was promoted, they would naturally rise with the tide. And for someone as young as Owen Bertram to become a Prescott, the future was bound to be limitless.

The Horizon Bureau - or even the entire Wood Dynasty - had a somewhat chaotic official system. It seemed like there were many Prescotts and revered Lords, but in fact, only those within the Horizon Bureau knew how difficult it was for a Chief Flag to become a Prescott!

That’s because after becoming a Prescott, one could inherit the position. In comparison to the massive size of the Horizon Bureau, Prescotts and revered Lords were definitely a small elite group.

Owen Bertram didn’t care too much about his own promotion and felt quite indifferent towards becoming a Prescott. But it was entirely different for his subordinates who had witnessed too many talented and capable people wasting their lives at the Chief Flag level, risking everything to work on cases and trying to bribe their superiors, yet never able to cross this threshold.

And the younger they were, the more promising their future!

Originally, being at a small outpost by the riverside, everyone thought they would just be idling around until retirement. But now they suddenly realized: the seemingly dead-end job was actually a golden path!

However, Matthew’s position became somewhat awkward. A small outpost like Summit Guard Post couldn’t possibly accommodate two Prescotts, could it?

But he quickly made up his mind: No matter what, with the delicious Pill Cuisine made by the young lady... ah, no, with his unwavering loyalty to the Master, he could stay at the Summit Guard Post forever!

Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere, Owen Bertram quietly slipped away to the backyard - if he didn’t leave now, what if they insisted on treating everyone to a celebration dinner?

If inviting everyone to dinner for such a trivial matter as being a promoted Prescott, how would he survive in the future? Small feast every three days and a big one every five days?

"Brother!"

Owen Bertram had just reached the door of his yard when he heard a cheerful voice from inside, followed by a slight tremor of the ground and the thumping of heavy footsteps, as a figure rushed out of the door.

Owen Bertram secretly sighed, it had been a long time since he had experienced the "force of Verna," and he was even... a little nostalgic?

But his body instinctively wanted to dodge and trick her, but Elder Brother held back and opened his arms... and was then pushed back several steps!

"I underestimated her!" Owen Bertram muttered to himself, his sister had grown taller, reaching his chest already.

Tabitha rubbed her head fiercely against her older brother’s chest and said, "Brother, I cooked something for you to eat."

"Great," Owen Bertram smiled and said, "I want to eat the delicious kind you used to make."

Tabitha’s eyes flickered and she patted her chest, "No problem!"

Matthew followed behind, feeling very guilty...

Before long, it was time for dinner. Naturally, Elder Brother and Verna took the lion’s share, while Matthew, Bennett Basil, and Alvin Morgan received some soupy leftovers.

Alvin Morgan always liked to show off his seniority and talk about his experience during meals, "I’m not like those two, although I failed to teach the young lady, at least I inspired her. Even if I made no contribution, I worked hard, right? Can I have a little more?"

Tabitha nodded, "I’ll cook more next time."

She really would cook more next time - but the extra portion would always go into her own stomach, with Alvin Morgan still getting the same amount in the end.

After dinner, Owen Bertram lay contentedly on a lounge chair in the yard, basking in the sun. Verna’s good food could also replenish warmth, but he was now stuck at the peak of The Second Level, and it was difficult to break through with just one meal of Pill Cuisine.

When it was almost dark, a sudden surge of warmth came from his brother, and Owen Bertram’s heart leaped!

This warmth stimulated his cultivation, and all the spiritual energy in his body became bright and lively, shining brilliantly in every spiritual cavity and spirit vein.

This was Spirit!

He took a step forward.

At Owen Bertram’s chest, a spiritual cavity expanded, a large amount of spiritual energy flowed into it, gradually settling and solidifying, as if something was about to be born inside.

This spiritual cavity was located slightly above and between the left and right Responsive Object cavities.

The Third Great Boundary was called "Dao Tower" and was an extremely important stage in the early stages of cultivation.

At this realm, cultivators needed to choose an important spiritual cavity in their body and build a "Dao Tower" based on their deep understanding of the "Great Path."

Dao Tower had six layers, corresponding to the six stages of this Great Realm. But whether it could be built beyond seven layers, no one knew.

There were only three means to build the Dao Tower: Divine Skill, Array, and Talisman.

Using magical instruments like weapons wouldn’t work, because only these three approaches were the most direct embodiment of the "Path". Magical instruments ultimately had a barrier.

If the Dao Tower was built using a Divine Skill, then this skill could be used instantly, and the cultivator’s fighting techniques would greatly improve, greatly increasing their combat power.

The solidity and complexity of the Dao Tower also determined whether cultivators could go higher and further in the future.

Owen Bertram chose to build his tower using Talisman without any hesitation.

He was not adept in Divine Skills or Arrays, and he had just started with Talismans, but he had the Annotations on the Pre-Heaven Wood Totem Collection provided by his brother, which contained nine Primordial Wood Talismans!

Although he currently didn’t have the ability to refine Primordial Talismans, building the Dao Tower with them was no problem at all.

A Dao Tower built with Primordial Talismans, Owen Bertram got excited just thinking about it!

After obtaining the Annotations on the Pre-Heaven Wood Totem Collection, he hadn’t used it in any battles and, instead, applied it to himself, which was quite unexpected.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, the spiritual energy in the spiritual cavity at his chest gathered layer by layer, forming the first layer of the Dao Tower, based on the structure of the first Primordial Talisman recorded in the Annotations on the Pre-Heaven Wood Totem Collection. The remaining warmth then gathered into "Path bricks" and "Path tiles" that surrounded the main structure and built the first layer.

But just as the building was half-completed, the warmth was exhausted...

Owen Bertram let out a cry, scratching his head and cheeks: the feeling... of having the enjoyment interrupted suddenly, leaving him hanging, was truly the most irresponsible thing in the world.

Ethereal Devin also felt helpless: I tried my best, but I couldn’t do more.

Fortunately, there was a little more warmth afterward that flowed into Owen Bertram’s mind and slowly unveiled a Purple-Green Expelling Tribulation Pill Refining Pictorial Manual.
