The Hundred Arrays Pagoda was not only incomplete, it was also divided into three parts. One part is at the Tianyan Sect headquarters, which is in the Nine Provinces, another part is within the Cloud River battlefield—a place accessible only by those in the Cloud River Realm. The situation there is quite different from the Spirit Stream battlefield; sects don't have any permanent stations inside it. As for the last part, its whereabouts are unknown.
This is a constant pain for all array cultivators in the Nine Provinces, since conquering the Hundred Arrays Pagoda can bring imnse benefits to array cultivators. Those top-notch array cultivators from the Nine Provinces had once gained imnsely from the Pagoda.
Why this object beca divided into three is unknown to anyone. So have speculated that it was severed by an extrely powerful being using imnse force.
Even the strongest cultivators of the Divine Sea Realm from the Nine Provinces dare not claim they can destroy the Hundred Arrays Pagoda now. The Pagoda can almost be considered an extraordinary treasure, surpassing the level of a spirit treasure.
"Brother Yiye, if you wish to cultivate the Array Path, I suggest you go to the sect headquarters to challenge the Hundred Arrays Pagoda. It will surely be of great benefit to you," Zhao Li said.
Just as Gu Canyang had suspected before, Zhao Li's return was indeed with the intention of recruitnt. He didn't believe that Lu Ye could remain indifferent to the profound foundation of the Tianyan Sect in the Array Path.
However, after interacting with Lu Ye, he truly felt that Lu Ye should visit the Hundred Arrays Pagoda. The Pagoda is very peculiar, and those with greater talent in the Array Path can derive even more benefits from it.
Of course, as long as Lu Ye was willing to go to the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, then Zhao Li's purpose would be achieved.
In fact, Lu Ye really found it hard to resist such temptation. Through his actions at Fenghua Courtyard and Illuminating Sun Mountain previously, he had realized his shortcomings.
Considering the current situation, his proficiency in the Array Path was still lacking. The idea of sneaking into the enemy's protective array using his unique skills was now out of the question. The previous lesson from Fenghua Courtyard ensured that the stations of the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge would be on high alert, leaving no opportunity for him to exploit.
There were also many drawbacks to opening a hole on the opponent's big array. The success of his last attempt involved a lot of luck, and opened holes would quickly be repaired, preventing many people from rushing in at once, or else Lu Ye wouldn't have only brought ten physique cultivators.
If he wanted to break arrays more effectively, he had two options. The first was to quickly improve his cultivation. With the Insight Spirit Runes, an advantage that other array cultivators couldn't easily obtain, he could easily identify the flaws of an array. As long as his cultivation was strong enough, one strike would suffice to break any array, eliminating the need for additional effort.
The saying 'sheer force can subdue cunning' is exactly the point; there is nothing in this world that cannot be broken with absolute force. If one strike isn't enough, then two!
Of course, thinking about this was still premature. He had tried before, but with insufficient strength. Hence, if he wanted to break arrays, he had to improve his mastery of the Array Path.
Learning on his own, his progress was indeed not slow, but to reach the goal he had set for himself, he was still far off. Even if he returned to the Righteous Blood Sect to ask Madam Yun for guidance, his wish might not be fulfilled.
While Madam Yun is an outstanding spirit runes master, a person's energy is limited, and her skills in the Array Path might not be very advanced.
If the Hundred Arrays Pagoda is as mystical as Zhao Li has said, then it is definitely worth challenging.
Lu Ye took out his ten-part map to locate the Tianyan Sect's station and found it was still so distance away; even with weapon control-flying, it would take several days to reach.
"Brother Zhao, I am truly grateful for your kind invitation, but I still have so matters to attend to. How about you go back to your station first, and I'll bother you later after I've finished handling my affairs?" Lu Ye suggested.
Zhao Li was overjoyed and stood up to say, "That sounds excellent. Then I'll wait for Brother Yiye's news," as he found his way out.
Lu Ye personally escorted him out.
Shortly after, Zhao Li found Wey Li, who was on duty, and took his leave.
Having achieved his goal, there was no need for him to stay any longer.
Back in the pavilion, Yiyi appeared, puzzled, "Lu Ye, what else do we have to deal with?"
She hadn't noticed Lu Ye being preoccupied with anything urgent in recent days.
"Nothing much," Lu Ye shook his head.
"Then why did you tell him that… Oh, I get it. You didn't want to refuse him outright, so it was an excuse," Yiyi realized.
"It's not quite like that," Lu Ye chuckled, "but given the stir I've caused previously, I am afraid we might encounter so troubles when we leave this place. If Brother Zhao were to accompany us, he would surely get dragged into it. It's better for him to go ahead first."
"I see, you have given this a lot of thought," Yiyi understood, "So when we leave here, will we really encounter trouble?"
"Who knows," Lu Ye replied.
It was an unpredictable matter, but it was best to be cautious in advance.
A few days went by, and Lu Ye found Gu Canyang to bid him farewell.
Gu Canyang tried to persuade him to stay a little longer, but seeing that Lu Ye's mind was made up, he said no more. Despite his regret, he had long realized that Lu Ye was just passing through and not here to pursue his cultivation.
```
He was actually sowhat envious of Lu Ye in that regard. Not being tied to one place, traveling all over, one would certainly encounter more dangers, but knowledge and experience would also increase accordingly. Envious as he was, if it were up to him to do the sa, he simply couldn't manage it.
Gu Canyang watched as Lu Ye left with Giant Armor before returning to his own quarters.
In the sky, the light from a Spiritual Artifact streaked past. Lu Ye sat cross-legged upon it, with Giant Armor in front of him.
This Flying Spirit Artifact was not the small boat he had obtained from Yuan Guang. He had tried it before and found that flying with his Level 8 cultivation was still sowhat strenuous, mainly because his spirit force endurance was not sufficient. Therefore, when traveling before, Lu Ye would generally ride Amber.
In doing so, he could save spirit force and simultaneously cultivate.
The Spiritual Artifact belonged to Giant Armor. Previously, in order to help Giant Armor accumulate enough rit, Lu Ye had given him many Spiritual Artifacts, including quite a few Flying Spirit Artifacts, from which Giant Armor had chosen one he liked to keep.
This was the advantage of having Giant Armor travel with him; with him operating the weapon control-flying, they could save a lot of ti on the road. If he rode Amber to the Tianyan Sect quarters, it would take at least half a month.
With Giant Armor operating the flight, it would take only three to four days to arrive.
Moreover, because Giant Armor had sothing similar to a "demonic pill" inside him that stored a large amount of spirit force, if necessary, he could continuously operate the weapon control-flying without stopping and didn't need to rest at all.
But considering that doing so would place a heavy burden on Giant Armor and physical strength would still be depleted, it was better to rest after flying for half a day before continuing the journey.
At the sa ti as Lu Ye and Giant Armor were flying away, five miles from the Surreptitious Palace headquarters, in a concealed spot, a pair of eyes strained their Ocular Power to observe. Recognizing Lu Ye's identity, they imdiately sent out a ssage.
Once confird by the recipient, the ssage continued to spread. It went from one to ten, ten to a hundred, and soon enough, many attentive individuals were aware that Lu Yiye from the Righteous Blood Sect had left the Surreptitious Palace headquarters, his destination unknown.
Zhao Li's previous worries were not unfounded. After Fenghua Courtyard and Illuminating Sun Mountain headquarters were breached, even though the various forces of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge had co to understand the details, they still couldn't let Lu Ye continue to grow.
Eight or nine months ago, Lu Ye was just a Level 5 junior cultivator, but now he had reached Level 8! His growth rate was a bit too fast.
If they left him unattended, it would be even harder to deal with him once his cultivation advanced further. Compared to his increasing power, Ten Thousand Demons Ridge was more worried about his progress in the Array Path.
At the mont, Lu Ye already had special techniques for array destruction. Who knew how much further he would advance in the Array Path in the future? If they let him continue like this, even those from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge hiding in their quarters would feel no safety.
Therefore, these days, the various forces of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge had already co to a consensus to eliminate Lu Yiye from the Righteous Blood Sect as soon as possible to prevent future troubles. As a result, Lu Ye's image had been distributed for relevant personnel to morize his appearance.
Silently, the entire Ten Thousand Demons Ridge began to coordinate their actions.
This ti, they did not plan to make too much noise; the battle at Golden Light Peak was a lesson from the past.
Therefore, while Lu Ye was at the Surreptitious Palace, Ten Thousand Demons Ridge did not act, because attacking the palace was aningless. They could not ensure the definite killing of that Lu Yiye. Even if they took over the palace, Lu Yiye could still use the Heaven's Augury Pillar to return to the Nine Provinces and evade them.
To kill him, opportunities would be in the wilderness!
The scattered informants played their role; every so often, Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators would report Lu Ye's movents. Because so many were mobilized and scattered in different positions, it was difficult for Lu Ye to escape surveillance from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge, no matter where he went. Even if they lost track of him briefly, soone would soon spot them flying.
The only slightly frustrating thing for Ten Thousand Demons Ridge was that Lu Ye's movents were completely unpredictable, heading east for a while, then west, and occasionally circling around a few tis.
This was clearly his way of guarding against being tracked, but it was aningless given that almost every force within the inner circle of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge had agreed on this. As long as he showed up, his movents would be exposed, and all the circling would be futile.
Aboard Giant Armor's Flying Spirit Artifact, Lu Ye's eyelids were slightly lowered.
Although unaware of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge's plans, ever since he left the Surreptitious Palace quarters, he had an indistinct feeling of being watched.
That's why he had Giant Armor constantly change directions, but it seed to be of no use now.
In the past, it would have been impossible for him to notice this, but the advantage of having a strong psyche was that he could sense so abnormalities through the unknown.
Unable to shake off the enemy's surveillance, there were only two possibilities: either soone was constantly following nearby or there were many keeping watch over his movents.
It seed the situation was more complex than expected.
Checking his own spiritual orifice, he had reached the 165th orifice. To the Level 9 180th orifice, there were only fifteen more.
If he had a sufficiently ample cultivation environnt, Lu Ye would be able to open fifteen more orifices in less than a month. Then, he would be able to follow the guidelines of the Heaven Rank technique, the Great Sun Glazed Glass thod, which had cost more than five thousand rits to acquire, to open subsequent orifices. He was very much looking forward to this technique.
