"This is the Hundred Arrays Pagoda?" Yiyi looked around in surprise, "Such dense and pure nature's spiritual energy."
The rewards from the Hundred Arrays Pagoda weren't solely knowledge about the Array Path. After a cultivator passed the trials, they would also experience a surge of dense and pure spiritual energy erging all around them, allowing cultivators to quickly restore their own depleted strength and prepare for the next layer's challenges.
While Lu Ye was overwheld by the massive influx of information and unable to maintain his composure, a large amount of nature's spiritual energy suddenly erged in this small space. The tiny room was nearly filled with thick white fog.
Following Lu Ye around in adventure, Yiyi had seen a lot of the world.
She had stayed in Class C spirit grounds, even in Class A spirit grounds, and what surprised her was the density and purity of the spiritual energy here, which was even more exaggerated than in Class A spirit grounds, nearly reaching the level that would require the use of a spirit fortune stick.
With just a slight attempt, she realized her perception wasn't wrong. The spiritual energy of this place, even if not as potent as when using spirit fortune sticks, wasn't far off and was rapidly absorbable for the enhancent of her own foundation.
Such a cultivation environnt is what any cultivator would dream of.
Therefore, Yiyi didn't hesitate for a mont and imdiately began her cultivation practice.
anwhile, under the influence of the Soul Cleansing Water, the pain on Lu Ye's psyche gradually subsided, his mind whirling with an enormous amount of knowledge about the Array Path that he had never co into contact with before.
But he did not rush to explore these things. Instead, he first constructed a small spirit energy gathering funnel on his own body.
Now, constructing such a small spirit energy gathering funnel posed no difficulty for him. It was almost as if with a re thought, a small spirit energy gathering funnel would take shape.
As funnels appeared, a devouring force also emanated from within his body, engulfing the surrounding spirit mist. With the increase of the small spirit energy gathering funnels, the devouring force grew stronger until at last, Lu Ye seed to beco an invisible vortex. Visibly, the spirit mist continually surged toward him, then disappeared.
Although Lu Ye had guessed that the spiritual energy within the Hundred Arrays Pagoda would be incredibly pure, the reality still exceeded his expectations.
This cultivation efficiency, comparable to the use of spirit fortune sticks, was precisely what he urgently needed at the mont.
Having the Psyche Force far exceed physical strength was inevitably a not-so-small hidden danger. If he could enhance his cultivation within the Hundred Arrays Pagoda this ti, he could resolve this issue.
The thod of cultivating and recovering through the construction of small spirit energy gathering funnels had helped Lu Ye trendously on many occasions.
Like at this mont.
A typical array cultivator who ca here might, even after passing the final trial and receiving the reward, still need to quickly recover their own strength. In this process, they would have to concentrate fully, unable to do anything else.
Once close to being fully recovered, they could then comprehend the rewards they had received before. As a result, they would have very little ti left, and the improvents they could achieve within such a short period naturally wouldn't be significant, which would inevitably affect their performance on the next layer.
Thus, since ancient tis, even if there were array cultivators who could resonate in the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, they could usually only resonate once. The number of array cultivators able to resonate two or even three tis was few and far between.
But Lu Ye was different. After constructing the small spirit energy gathering funnels, letting the spirit mist surge into his body, he was able to imrse his whole heart and soul in understanding the gifts of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda. He had more ti than other array cultivators to enhance his Array Path skills with the help of these gifts.
His mind deeply engrossed, ti slipped away until at a certain mont, the surrounding spirit mist suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Lu Ye subtly perceived the change and quickly refocused his mind, knowing that his ti in this layer had reached its limit, and it was ti to move on to the next layer.
He silently estimated that since entering the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, nearly six hours had passed.
This was quite similar to his experience during the previous trial.
Every layer of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda had a ti limit of six hours. Passing the trial within this ti would earn the pavilion's reward. Therefore, the less ti spent on the trial, the greater the reward received, leaving more ti for recovery and comprehension.
In this first layer, Lu Ye had broken through the array in just one incense stick's ti, spending the rest of the ti absorbing the benefits.
The volu of the river of spirit force within his body had noticeably increased, but the biggest gain was in the area of the Array Path. The massive gift, which had overwheld his psyche, promised unimaginable benefits to his knowledge of arrays.
In just under six hours, he naturally couldn't fully digest and settle all of it, but even so, it was enough for him to take a step forward in his understanding of arrays. To deal with the next layer's challenges, he had more than enough.
Lu Ye was confident about this.
Yiyi had already flashed into Amber before Lu Ye said anything; Amber then sowhat reluctantly walked over to Lu Ye and allowed herself to be scooped up and tucked into the spirit beast sack.
He had just finished these tasks when he felt a sensation of being teleported; he appeared in another small space, almost identical to the previous one, with a protruding brick on the adjacent wall.
Ti was pressing, and without hesitation, Lu Ye approached the brick and pressed it with a raised hand.
As the brick sank, the scenery around him shifted, and Lu Ye found himself in an extrely vast and empty area.
A pinpoint of luminescent light suddenly appeared before him, and as he reached out toward that speck of light, a ssage instantly appeared in his mind.
The test this ti was to set up a formation, specifically, a formation according to the requirents proposed by the Hundred Arrays Pagoda. The required formation wasn't a difficult one, rely a Spirit Gathering Array.
It could even be said that the first formation Lu Ye learned to set up was the Spirit Gathering Array, as he obtained the Spirit Energy Gathering Spirit Runes comparatively early.
However, the test of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda naturally wouldn't be that simple. There were requirents for the range of the array setup, the consumption of array banners, and the effects that could be achieved.
To pass this layer's test, there was a minimum standard.
With Lu Ye's current expertise in the Array Path, eting the minimum standard wasn't difficult. Almost at the sa ti as he discovered the challenge of this layer, several plans had already ford in his mind.
But he naturally wasn't satisfied with just eting the minimum standard. In such a test, the better he perford, the greater the reward he would receive.
Standing in place and pondering briefly, Lu Ye soon had a plan in mind. He imdiately began to implent it.
One by one, array banners were thrown in all directions, constructing the basic frawork of the formation. Lu Ye then activated the Spirit Energy Gathering Spirit Runes to form the core of the formation. As the spirit force surged, his powerful Psyche Force allowed him to perfectly control the subtle changes in his own spirit force. Complicated rune patterns took shape within the frawork of the formation, transforming into the fledgling form of a big array.
To him, this layer's challenge was actually simpler than the previous one, requiring less effort.
Thus, in just half an incense stick's ti, a Spirit Gathering Array took shape. As the last rune slotted into place, the entire array was imdiately activated and began to operate.
The surrounding scenery once again changed, shattering like bubbles. Lu Ye found himself back in that enclosed small room.
A large quantity of dense and pure nature's spiritual energy appeared out of nowhere, accompanied by a cluster of luminescent light.
According to his previous idea, Lu Ye first released Amber from the spirit beast sack. Without almost needing instructions, Yiyi appeared in a flash, took out the jade vial containing soul water, and stood ready for action.
They locked eyes, and Yiyi nodded slightly.
Only then did Lu Ye raise his hand toward the cluster of luminescent light. The light shattered, and once again, he felt the whole stellar space tilting towards him.
Outside the Hundred Arrays Pagoda.
Today, the resonance of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda occurred twice in succession, with the intervals being no more than one incense stick's ti apart. This excited the array cultivators gathered here, as such a grand event had never been encountered before and provided much fodder for their discussions.
When Lu Ye had arrived earlier, so of the array cultivators here were competing with each other, so were sitting in ditation with their eyes closed, and so were discussing the Array Path together.
But now, all the array cultivators were gathered in groups, talking animatedly about sothing.
This was a scene seldom seen here.
Even when discussing the Array Path on regular days, they would control their volu, not wishing to disturb others. However, today's grand event broke the usual restraints, allowing the array cultivators a bit more indulgence in their moods.
Although the ones causing the resonance of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda were not them, witnessing such an event also brought them honor.
So array cultivators even stood at the exit of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, inquiring everybody passing by if they were responsible for the resonance, but they never received any precise answers.
"Wonder which two Fellow Daoists triggered the resonance. If we could identify them, perhaps we could seek their advice. What a pity, such a pity," a young man clad in green spoke up.
Those who could trigger the resonance of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda here would certainly be great masters of the Array Path in the future. Naturally, everyone was eager to make their acquaintance and seeking advice on the Array Path was not considered shaful.
As for affiliation to a faction, under the unique atmosphere at the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, such boundaries had beco blurred. The cultivators who ca here were all array cultivators with a longing desire for the Array Path.
Regrettably, people outside were unaware of who had triggered the resonance. Even those who had run the pagoda may not know they were the ones responsible.
"Fellow Daoist Luo has already passed the fiftieth layer. With such prospects, he is bound to be unlimited in the future. He might not even be behind others," soone complinted at the side.
The Hundred Arrays Pagoda at the Cloud River battlefield starts from the thirty-fourth layer. This Cultivator Luo who had passed the fiftieth layer already had an impressive achievent. One must know that many of the array cultivators here hadn't even passed the fortieth layer.
Their thod of running the pagoda was different from Lu Ye's, mostly going through one layer at a ti. If they failed, there wasn't much to say; but even if they succeeded, the consumption of their essence and the pressure on their psyche forced them to exit the pagoda first. They would re-enter only when they were fully prepared.
The Hundred Arrays Pagoda would record the layers they had passed. The next ti they entered, they would directly proceed to the next layer.
Not only was it like this at Cloud River, but Tianyan Sect disciples also followed the sa practice when running their own Hundred Arrays Pagoda. This was why Lu Ye's consecutive passage through thirty-three layers had caused such a sensation within the Tianyan Sect.
Nevertheless, this news had not spread outward because, under the orders of Tianyan Sect Master Yooi Xiao and the Great Elder Bai Qian, all Tianyan Sect disciples who knew this information took an oath of Heaven's Augury to never disclose the news of Lu Ye running the Hundred Arrays Pagoda to the outside world.
