Gao Xuan slowly said, "Since your second uncle brought you here to study the way of arrays, you must study well, but during this period, you must pay attention to one person."
"Who?" Zhou Qing asked in confusion.
Gao Xuan’s expression was serious as he said, "The Palace Master of Cangyan Daoist Palace, Sikong Yan!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing’s pupils shrank instantly, a flash of disbelief in his eyes, and then he said, "He also ca to the White Jade Taixu Courtyard?"
Gao Xuan nodded slightly, his gaze deep as he said, "In fact, he has always been here at the academy."
Zhou Qing listened, confused, shaking his head repeatedly as he said, "Master, I don’t quite understand. Isn’t he in the Eastern Domain? What do you an he’s always been here at the academy?"
Gao Xuan also didn’t know how to explain for a mont. After thinking about it, he said, "This is just a guess of mine; the truth is uncertain. It might be related to the amplification of his Nascent Soul, or perhaps the intent realm of the Divinity Transformation Realm. In any case, you must be cautious."
Zhou Qing’s brows furrowed, feeling a scalp-numbing fear towards this Palace Master of Cangyan Daoist Palace once again.
But he still nodded solemnly and said, "Thank you, Master. I understand."
"I can’t stay here for long; I must return soon. Study well here!" Gao Xuan instructed.
Zhou Qing felt a wave of emotion. Master Gao Xuan had traveled from afar, tirelessly, just to remind him.
Seeing that his master was about to leave, Zhou Qing gritted his teeth and suddenly said, "Master, is there anything I can help with at Cangyan Daoist Palace?"
Gao Xuan looked at Zhou Qing with a aningful expression, a trace of gratified smile flashing in his eyes, and said, "Cultivate well!"
Then he left.
Watching Gao Xuan’s figure disappear, Zhou Qing let out a soft sigh.
He could feel that Master Gao Xuan seed to be under the weight of a heavy mountain. Though his deanor was always gentle and smiling, behind that smile was an exhaustion and helplessness that made it hard to breathe.
Perhaps only the Master knew the true truth. That was why he trusted him so much.
When he returned from here, he must understand well.
Because he truly wanted to help Master Gao Xuan.
After returning to the academy, Li Daoxuan and Yan Xiaohu hurried up to him.
A warmth spread in Zhou Qing’s heart as he said, "I’m really fine. Where is Lu?"
Only then did the two relax. Li Daoxuan said, "She was called away by Master Lu."
After chatting for a while, Zhou Qing returned to his cave mansion and continued to peruse the notes given by Master Lin.
Fortunately, in the following days, that mysterious person no longer appeared to harass Yan Xiaohu, allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.
Today, Second Uncle suddenly ca, his face full of expectation and excitent, and said, "How has your studies been recently? Today happens to be the day Master Lin gives a lecture, don’t miss it."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing’s eyes lit up as he smiled and said, "I’ve gained a lot and am eagerly waiting."
Second Uncle looked proud and said, "Of course, who picked you? Let’s hurry up!"
Then the two headed towards the inner courtyard.
Along the way, various buildings were scattered in an orderly manner, the ancient pavilions and lush spirit plants complented each other, making one’s mood slightly better.
Soon, they arrived at a large hall nad "Spirit Array Pavilion". Even before stepping inside, the noise from within could be heard.
The academy did not have many rules about lectures; all inner courtyard students could freely choose to attend the lectures of any of the eight instructors.
After all, having more skills never burdens anyone, but how much one can learn depends on one’s own fortune.
Of course, good students are loved by instructors everywhere, just like Lu Yaoyao and Second Uncle.
Every lecture, there were always many attendees, but only a small portion could truly understand and keep up with the instructor’s pace.
Most people were just here to show their faces.
When the two entered, the hall was already crowded with many people, all sitting on mats, either discussing in small groups or ditating alone, quietly waiting for the instructor to arrive.
Good spots were all fully taken. The two had no choice but to find a remote corner to sit down.
Zhou Qing looked around in secret amazent, almost all the students here were in the Nascent Soul Realm.
There were even a few whose aura was as steady as a mountain, similar to Li Hanshan and Yu Ziqi, who had already begun to grasp the embryonic form of the realm of intent.
After all, this place gathered the prodigies from the four regions of Vast Mansion, from countless sects.
Soon, a steady sound of footsteps approached, and the hall instantly fell silent.
Lin Daochen walked in, and everyone imdiately stood up and respectfully greeted, "Greetings, sir!"
Lin Daochen nodded, a faint smile on his face, motioning for everyone to sit down.
His eyes scanned the crowd, and confirming the presence of several top students, he showed a trace of a gratified smile.
Then he began, "Today, we continue to explore the way of restrictions. Arrays are the embodint of the laws of heaven and earth. They can trap the enemy, kill the enemy, and protect a region. Their intricacies are endless..."
As he spoke, his hands gently waved in the air, and several streams of spiritual power flew out like lively threads, instantly activating several array discs on the podium.
So that everyone could more intuitively feel and understand.
Soon, soone raised a hand and asked, "Sir, may I ask, regarding the ’Starry Sky Trapping Array’ you just ntioned, if it encounters an expert proficient in the Space Law, can it still effectively trap the enemy?"
Lin Daochen sighed inwardly upon hearing this.
This question had actually been ntioned in previous lectures. Besides facing cultivators proficient in the Space Law, this array had other limitations.
