Wang Baole knew about the obnoxiousness of the trio, including Chen Mu, like the back of his hand. Now, he was caressing the donkey as he narrowed his eyes. He felt that Chen Mu and company should thank the Federation for teaching and bringing them up. If not, with that temper of his, he would have definitely gone to bash them up.

“I’m already a prominent figure now. As a prominent figure, I can’t bash someone up willy-nilly, don’t you think, Scram?” Wang Baole cleared his throat, speaking calmly while pretending to be profound, as he grabbed the donkey.

The donkey felt wronged. It merely wanted to rest after tiring itself out after playing for a while, and that was why he passed by the office building Wang Baole was in. However, even before it could distance itself, it was ordered by Wang Baole and had to go towards him, allowing him to scratch and caress it. Even though the donkey was unhappy, he couldn’t show any signs of it. Now that he heard Wang Baole’s words, the donkey hurriedly grinned and acted obedient, nodding its head furiously.

It was as if it was trying to say that whatever Wang Baole said was right...

The method used by prominent figures against insignificant people like them is often profound. Not only do they act, but whatever action they take has a significant impact! The more Wang Baole thought about it, the more he felt that everything made sense. He was filled with delight and had the impression that his understanding of the high officials’ autobiographies was further deepened.

However, when he thought about how obnoxious Chen Mu and company were, he was unhappy. He looked askance at the donkey, trying to convey the message through his eyes that it could eat at the residence belonging to Chen Mu and company from time to time.

Even though the donkey was smart, it was, after all, still a donkey that hadn’t gained human intelligence. Therefore, when it saw the look in Wang Baole’s eyes, it was confused, apparently not understanding what Wang Baole meant.

This made Wang Baole frown as he kicked the donkey.

The kick was swift and loud. It seemed like the combination of Wang Baole’s cultivation, strong physique, and slim thighs made the kick extremely powerful.

Perhaps the shock from the powerful kick had the ability to knock some sense into the donkey’s head. At that moment, it seemed to have realized the meaning behind Wang Baole’s gaze, and it quickly called out while nodding its head furiously.

Seeing that the donkey understood the situation, Wang Baole stopped kicking the donkey. He thought about whether he should proceed with the kick, but as he felt that he was an amiable owner, he cleared his throat and decided not to proceed. Instead, he gently caressed the donkey.

“How obedient. Scram, do this task well!”

The donkey was suddenly touched by Wang Baole’s gentle caress and voice. It vaguely felt that even though its owner was abusive, he still treated it well occasionally. Therefore, it suddenly had the intention to lick Wang Baole’s hands with its tongue. Wang Baole was surprised by it, and that was when the donkey suddenly turned and ran towards the door.

What’s going on? Wang Baole was taken aback. He had never thought that the donkey would lick him. Therefore, he stood up and went to the window. As he saw the donkey charging towards the new region that Chen Mu and company were in, he blinked his eyes in realization.

I approve of this. It’s an expression of its love for its owners. At the same time, it took the initiative to share the burden of its owner’s worries and wants to help take revenge. Good donkey! Wang Baole was encouraged and thought that he had really used the correct method of being harsh with punishment to bring up a good disciple like the donkey.

With that thought, Wang Baole buried the absurdities of Chen Mu and company in his heart and began his usual cultivation process. His cultivation level was now at that of late-stage Foundation Establishment realm. With the presence of the array formation, he could absorb the Dark Qi in the catacombs every time he cultivated, which helped to speed up the process significantly.

That made his cultivation grow exponentially by the day. At the same time, Wang Baole had great expectations for the future. He knew that when the structure of the array formation was completely formed, his cultivation would reach an unimaginable state.

Even though there were no short cuts for any cultivator if they wanted to advance from late-stage Foundation Establishment realm to the perfected stage, Wang Baole was still confident that with the help of the array formation, the entire process could be sped up limitlessly for him.

The construction of the new city was also boosted significantly with the arrival of Chen Mu and company. Chen Mu and company may be autonomous, but they had also seen what happened to Li Yi. Therefore, they met all the requirements needed for the construction, as well as the array formation. Even though they were autonomous in terms of management, there was no impact on Wang Baole’s cultivation process.

Just like that, days passed. A bird’s eye view of the new city revealed that, as countless people busied themselves with the construction, the prototype of the large city was slowly being formed, and was becoming clearer with time.

At the same time, as Wang Baole cultivated, he didn’t neglect the refinement of his Dharmic Artifacts. All his Dharmic Artifacts were upgraded, reaching the level of sixth-grade Dharmic Artifacts. Even his Intrinsic Dharmic Artifact was upgraded to fifth-grade. Even though more resources were needed for it to advance to sixth-grade, Wang Baole was confident that within a few months, he could upgrade his Intrinsic Dharmic Artifact to the sixth-grade.

As he analyzed his Intrinsic Dharmic Artifact, the scabbard, which was now fifth-grade, he found some changes. There were no longer just nine mosquitoes. Rather, the number had doubled to eighteen!

Furthermore, when those eighteen mosquitoes flew out, the maximum possible distance between them and Wang Baole was also significantly increased. At the same time, their combat capabilities also shocked Wang Baole when he tested them out. Right now, each of the eighteen mosquitoes seemed to be in mid-stage True Breath realm.

Most importantly, they could revive continuously without limits. As long as the Intrinsic Dharmic Artifact scabbard could support the force of revival without failing, it would be as if he was bringing a True Breath realm army along with him everywhere he went.

Other than that, Wang Baole was most concerned about the three unique mosquitoes within his Intrinsic Dharmic Artifact scabbard. Even though the gray mosquito had integrated with the donkey, the second one had now appeared. According to Wang Baole’s guess, the second mosquito could perhaps allow him to control a second ferocious beast.

As for the remaining two purple and black mosquitoes, they were actually the ones that Wang Baole desired most. He was clear that the two mosquitoes were formidable, but he still couldn’t control the purple and black mosquito despite the Intrinsic Dharmic Artifact scabbard already reaching fifth-grade.

He felt slightly upset about this, but he also had a strong feeling that with the advancement of the Intrinsic Dharmic Artifact scabbard, he could eventually control the two mosquitoes!

At this stage of refinement, Wang Baole’s goal wasn’t only focused on continually upgrading his Intrinsic Dharmic Artifact. He had another goal, one that made him extremely excited when he thought about it!

He would never forget the day when he was admitted into the Ethereal Dao College and accepted into the Dharmic Armament faculty. It was the day when he saw the motto inscribed on the large rock of Dharmic Armament faculty!

‘Divine armaments shall destroy the myriad Dao if restrainment by Dharmic Artifacts and Numinous treasures proves fruitless!’

The first- and second-grade are Dharmic Artifacts, those under sixth-grade are Numinous Treasures, while the seventh-grade is called... Dharmic Armament!

Now, I’m finally at the stage where I can attempt to refine Dharmic Armaments! Wang Baole took a deep breath as his eyes lit up. The thought of being able to study Dharmic Armaments and try to refine them made him so agitated that he was unable to calm down. However, he also understood that the expenditure needed to try out and refine a Dharmic Armament would be huge.

Now, other than studying how to go about the refinement, the other issue was that the first Dharmic Armament that he would attempt to refine shouldn’t be too complex. Therefore, after thinking about it, Wang Baole came to a decision.

The first Dharmic Armament that I attempt to refine shall be... the megaphone! With that thought, Wang Baole was filled with enthusiasm. He had a special liking for the megaphone, and the megaphone had also accompanied him for a large part of his journey. Every time the megaphone was sounded, its effects were miraculous. Wang Baole felt that this unique treasure, if made into his first Dharmic Armament, would be extremely powerful, enough to impact the entire surroundings.

That was especially so when he pictured himself holding the Dharmic Armament megaphone and blowing into it. Its sound would have such a big impact on the enemies that they wouldn’t be able to fight back. That made Wang Baole’s decision to refine a megaphone Dharmic Armament even firmer.

With that firm belief, Wang Baole, a Primary Rank Three City Lord with ample resources, embarked on the intense process of research.

He was already an outstanding Dharmic Armament cultivator of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion. At the same time, he had a strong foundation in terms of refining treasures. As he proceeded step by step into refining sixth-grade treasures, he had formed his own insights and inventions. He had a deep understanding of how to arrange the inscriptions, such that they would always work. As such, even though his process of researching the Dharmic Armament was slow, he was heading in the right direction, proceeding forward steadily.

Furthermore, his seventh-grade Dharmic Armament saber also became his reference. He knew very clearly that a Primary Rank Three who could successfully refine a Dharmic Armament, while still not as impressive as a Core Formation cultivator, would be impressive.

It could also be said that once the Dharmic Armament was successfully refined, Wang Baole’s status and position would stand out, even without the support of the four Dao Colleges!

After all, only the one amongst the many Dharmic Armament cultivators of the Federation who could refine a Dharmic Armament would be worthy of the title of... Master!
