Because the reward for Mountain Foundation is long-term, the amount he will earn immediately after helping the person will be minute and insignificant. So he should prioritize people who can achieve great things, as they will give him the highest return in both the short term and long term. Another thing that showed the difference between Mountain Karma and Mountain Foundation is the fact that Mountain Karma is already level 3 while Mountain Foundation is still level 2. DIVINE ABILITIES 1. Mountain Karma: Level 3 (249,782,194/1,000,000,000) 2. Mountain Foundation: Level 2 (52,927/10,000,000) 3. ????: ------ His system showed that not only was Mountain Karma at level 3, he had also acquired nearly 250 million merits in it. On the other hand, he only had 53 thousand merits to show for Mountain Foundation. Over time, the merit for Mountain Foundation will increase as his rewards continue to come in. He does not need to do anything to increase it. This is a benefit of Mountain Foundation. He can sit back and enjoy the fruit of his previous labors. But it is uncertain if the level of Mountain Foundation will ever rise to the level of Mountain Karma even if he was given infinite time to wait for the rewards to come in. Another difference between the two of them is that Mountain Karma enhances his power, while Mountain Foundation helps him master techniques and skills while he is busy with other things. He became delighted when he discovered this. He said, "This is mental multitasking. Mountain Karma gives me brawn while Mountain Foundation gives me brain. I can't wait for the third divine ability to activate." Currently, Mountain Foundation is level two. So it can clone his mind two times and give him two extra minds to do things with. Just Mountain Karma had made him stand out so much. He can already imagine the benefits he will get by being able to delegate certain things to his cloned minds. From what he can tell, the cloned minds don't have his memories or any personalities. They are blank boxes who are only similar to him in terms of mental power and comprehension ability. So the stronger his own mind becomes, the stronger and faster they will become too. As he was thinking this, something strange appeared in the white world. It was an unknown, strange ball of light. He knows now that this white world is his mind space. Anything that appears here should have his permission to enter, or they will be his enemies trying to invade his mind. He didn't give this object permission to enter his mind. He doesn't even know its origin. All he can tell is that the object is related to the mountain. He carefully reached over to the object to know what it was. When he did, a voice came out of the ball of light. The voice said, "Is that you, your majesty?" The voice sounded feminine. It was so feminine that he was sure that it belonged to a lady even without seeing the person who spoke. He was also somehow sure that the owner of the voice was incredibly beautiful. He was surprised to hear a voice, but he remained calm and asked, "Who is this?" The voice replied, "It is me, Star Flower." He waited for a while but didn't get more information. His silence made the voice ask tentatively, "Your highness? Are you there?" He asked, "Am I supposed to know who you are?" The voice was silent for a while. Then it said, "Surely you must be joking, your highness. You raised me. You are my father and mother. How can you not know me?" Arthur was losing his patience. He said, "You have the wrong person. How did you even contact me? What is this ball of light?" The voice replied, "I am one of your heralds, your highness. I reached out to you through the permission you gave me. The fact that I can reach out to you regardless of your location is proof that I am your herald. Only your heralds can do this." Arthur became silent as he digested what she said. After a while he asked her, "What are heralds? Why am I your highness?" The voice replied, "Please stop joking, your highness. Your heralds and your court miss you. I miss you. Please tell me your location so that I can bring the court to receive you. We need your guidance. We need you to take your rightful place as the Immortal Emperor." Arthur had had enough. He put an end to the communication and severed the connection immediately. He severed the connection so thoroughly that the lady wouldn't be able to reach him through the same means again. The ball of light disappeared immediately. The sight made him nod in satisfaction. He did all of these because he had this kind of experience in his past life. This is a method that scammers use. They pretend to be someone you know or get close to you. Then ask for something from you. What they ask for could either be money or your bank details. He wasn't sure at first because she was saying a lot of things that he didn't understand. But he immediately understood his situation after she asked for his location. Asking for his location was like asking for his bank details. It triggered him into taking action immediately. He doesn't think he is being paranoid because of two things. The first is that he doesn't know her. The second is that he doesn't want anyone to know that he is in possession of the Mountain Sitting Dao. He didn't want his mother to know, so there was no way he was going to expose his identity and location to a stranger. He shook his head and clapped his hands and said, "My mother raised me better than that." He put the matter out of his mind and focused on the two techniques that he hadn't learned. The first one he tried to learn was the Everlasting Wood Art.
