King of Assassins-Chapter 824 - 606: Foundation Establishment (Part 2)

Once anything becomes a habit, it loses its novelty and consequently, you lose interest.

The mystery of the Rune Seed is like the cosmos, seemingly never fully explored.

Gao Xuan, engrossed in cultivation technology, had no mind for anything else.

While everyone in the Field Department thought Gao Xuan was about to make a big move, he did not act decisively. He just promoted a deputy director.

This deputy director named Mother Wolf was a woman in her thirties. A Seventh-Level Warrior, her skills easily ranked in the top five within the Field Department. Her character was as reticent as a wolf, which earned her this somewhat unpleasant nickname.

Gao Xuan wasn't very familiar with Mother Wolf, but since he needed a reliable deputy, he chose her.

With her experience, intelligence, and martial prowess, she managed daily affairs, allowing Gao Xuan to sit in his office and give orders.

Gao Xuan normally stayed in the office and went home after work. This simple routine of going between two places made his life uncomplicated.

To others, it even seemed a bit dull.

Many thought Gao Xuan was being cautious, fearing retaliation from the Yao Family.

Regardless of how others saw it, Gao Xuan followed his own rhythm.

Of course, Gao Xuan did not forget to first obtain a copy of the "Fiery Fire Technique." He took a day to complete the analysis of the Blazing Rune Seed. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

However, combining the Blazing Rune Seed with his own Water and Earth Rune Seeds took Gao Xuan ten days.

By observing the Holy Armor Rune Structure, Gao Xuan realized one truth: no matter how many Rune Seeds there are, there must be a core.

If the powers of the many Rune Seeds are equal, chaos ensues. Just like a company with two presidents of equal authority, it would inevitably fail.

Only with a core can there be top-down control, forming a complete and cohesive system.

Undoubtedly, within the Five Elements Runes, the Earth rune is the true core.

Earth is the land, Earth is the mountain, Earth can bear all living things. Zooming out, Earth actually represents matter.

This is Gao Xuan's latest understanding, and he is very sure it's correct.

All Source Power, Primordial Qi, and various powers must be transformed into the material level to be meaningful.

Earth is matter; it is the foundation of all existence.

Having realized this, Gao Xuan used Earth as the core, pairing it with Water and Fire Rune Seeds, creating a brand new and stable structure.

Conflicting Water and Fire, once moderated by the Earth core, can truly complement and sustain each other.

After three months, Gao Xuan once again exchanged for the Cyan Wood Technique.

This time, it took Gao Xuan three months to integrate the Cyan Wood Rune Seed.

Three months later, Gao Xuan exchanged for the Sharp Gold Technique.

Analyzing the Sharp Gold Technique took Gao Xuan half a year. During this period, he received information from Yuan Ping'an that he would be going to Taurus for further study. He likely won't be coming back.

Yuan Ping'an's friend Yanzi also went for further study with him.

Yuan Ping'an's departure news wasn't publicly spread, but inevitably found its way to Mingjing.

For this reason, Xu Jun specifically sought out Gao Xuan to remind him to be careful of the Yao Family.

Despite over a year passing, Gao Xuan remained stable and didn't act recklessly due to his rise in position. Matters within the Field Department were handled smoothly.

Xu Jun valued his cheap brother-in-law greatly. After all, Gao Xuan was very capable and had been tested to be extremely loyal and reliable.

At this level, there were plenty of expendables. However, loyal, reliable, and capable people are truly rare.

For both personal and professional reasons, Xu Jun did not wish for anything to happen to Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan wasn't too concerned about the Yao Family. He lived an uncomplicated life, always within the company's sphere of influence.

No matter how much the Yao Family hated him, they wouldn't dare act within the company's sphere of influence. That wouldn't just be killing him; that would be challenging the company's authority.

The company's top levels, out of concern for their own safety, absolutely wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

Gao Xuan continued his original rhythm, moving between two places, and never wandered.

With the complete analysis of the final Sharp Gold Technique, he was just a step away from the final Five Elements combination.

However, truly combining the Five Elements Runes into a cohesive whole was extremely, extremely difficult.

The Sharp Gold Technique wasn't the last piece of a puzzle to just fit in place.

On the contrary, the addition of the Sharp Gold Rune Seed required Gao Xuan to dismantle and reconstruct his established Rune Seed structure.

Adding one Rune Seed adds a dimension. Five Rune Seeds mean each has 129,600 runes.

If calculating the possible combinations of five Rune Seeds, it equals an astronomical number. Even Nuwa couldn't verify each combination method one-by-one.

Gao Xuan's computational and analytical power was far below that of Nuwa. His only advantage was the profound accumulation of his Divine Soul, and that it was exceptionally pure.

With his powerful Divine Soul, Gao Xuan could abandon all calculations and analysis and rely on intuition to combine them.

However, this intuition wasn't random. It was based on Gao Xuan's profound understanding of all Rune Seeds.

For this, Gao Xuan thought long and hard day and night.

More than a year passed, and one night Gao Xuan suddenly had an inspiration, and the five Rune Seeds disassembled and recombined.

648,000 runes combined in a three-dimensional arrangement into a complete spherical shape.

The Five Elements Rune Seeds interlocked, forming a tightly-knit, complete, and immensely stable structure.

Among them, the Earth Rune Seed was the core, surrounded by Water, Fire, Metal, and Wood, forming a complete Five Elements cycle.
