Chapter 315: 237: Promotion to Fourth Stage Array
Ten years later.
At the Immortal Mist Sect, Immortal Mist Peak, quiet chamber.
“I have finally advanced to the rank of fourth-rank array master.”
Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground with a look of excitement on his face.
Ever since he placed the Array Heart Gu in the Wuji Alliance’s fourth-class, high-grade array, known as Wuji Qiankun Thorugh Shangguan Xu ten years ago, the Array Heart Gu had taken a decade to consume this fourth-rank array and became the spirit of this fourth-rank array.
The reason it took so long was inevitable.
After all, the Array Heart Gu had only attained a third-rank, high-grade level in the past.
Attempting to consume a fourth-rank array is akin to an ant eating an elephant, requiring a substantial amount of time before success is possible.
However, regardless of the struggle, he had succeeded looking at the end-result.
This shows that he has stepped into the realm of the fourth-rank lower-grade array master with the help of the power of the Array Heart Gu.
At this moment, countless pieces of information about the fourth-rank array surged into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, each moment shimmering with sparks of wisdom, as if countless pieces of array knowledge were colliding.
“The fourth-rank array differs from the third-rank array, belonging to a double-composite array.”
“That is to say, the fusion of two grand arrays boosts the power of the array by more than tenfold.”
“Of course, the difficulty is also improved by more than tenfold.”
-This is like a promotion from two dimensions to three, an incredible upgrade.”
“The Wuji Qiankun Array is such a compound grand array, combining the power of a maze array and a slaughter array.”
“Once you enter the Wuji Qiankun Array, you will be confused by the space labyrinth, it’s impossible to leave, and it even incorporates the power of spatial slaughter, capable of annihilating the enemies within the void.”
“That’s why even the cultivators of the Nascent Soul realm fear the fourth-rank array, ranking it as a fourth-rank, high-grade array.”
Zhou Sui marveled.
After the Array Heart Gu had devoured the Wuji Qiankun Array, he finally understood how powerful this array was.
It can truly be said to be the core array of the Wuji Alliance.
As long as this grand array exists, enemies almost have no chance of breaching the headquarters of the Wuji Alliance.
Even if it encounters an onslaught from dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators, it is difficult to break this fourth-rank array.
“If I could place the Wuji Qiankun Array within the Tri-Star Island Group, there would be no reason to fear the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sea Clan.”
“Even if they were all to come out in full force, it would not be enough to break my Mountain Protection Array.”
“The pity is, it’s incredibly hard to construct this fourth-rank array, even combined, the wealth of the three sects would hardly be able to acquire the materials for a fourth-rank array.”
Zhou Sui felt somewhat regretful.
Even though he has attained the rank of a fourth-rank lower-grade array master, it doesn’t mean that he could construct a fourth-rank array.
Even the most skilled women can’t cook without rice.
Similar to creating an array, a significant number of array materials are needed.
For instance, the core material of the Wuji Qiankun Array, a fourth-rank array, is the fourth-rank material Universe Jade. This incomparably precious Universe Jade grants the array its supreme power to reverse space.
However, such fourth-rank materials are impossible to buy, even with money. They fall under the category of resources forbidden for sale.
Therefore, it is virtually impossible to replicate such a fourth-rank array. “However, the most important principle when arranging an array is to suit one’s measures to the local conditions.
“If the environment is conducive, the work will be twice as effective with half the effort.”
■■Just because the island is suitable for arranging the Wuji Qiankun Array it doesn’t mean that the Tri-Star Island Group would be.”
“The geographical environment of the two places differs greatly. If one insisted on fitting it in, it would be like drawing a tiger yet ending up with a dog.” “Just like when stationed in a desert, you couldn’t arrange a water-element array.”
“If you are situated within a mineral vein, you couldn’t arrange a wood-element array.”
“Different environments correspond to different arrays.”
“Unless one reaches the lofty state of altering the environment with arrays, it is then possible to disregard the influence of the geographical environment on the array.”
“Perhaps such an array master might not even exist in the human world, and even a fourth-rank array master couldn’t reach such state.”
“So for now, I should still stick to suiting one’s measures to local conditions.” “The fourth-rank grand array that best suits the Tri-Star Island Group should be the Xuan Yin Heavy Water Array.”
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.
This was a fourth-rank high-grade array he had obtained from Master Peach Blossom’s fourth-rank array inheritance among others. If successfully arranged, the power of this array won’t be weaker than that of the Wuji
Qiankun Array.
The reason to arrange this array was naturally linked to the significant relationship it has with the Tri-Star Island Group.
Beneath the Tri-Star Island Group, there isn’t only a fourth-rank high-grade spirit vein, but also a fourth-rank Xuan Yin Spirit Vein holding within it an enormous amount of Xuan Yin Qi.
It could be said that the geographical environment here is very suitable for arranging the Xuan Yin Heavy Water Array.
This is a composite array combining defensive array and slaughter array.
If successfully arranged, the area covered by the array will instantly form a massive Heavy Water Boundary.
Such a Heavy Water Boundary can significantly weaken the enemy’s attacks. Even if faced with a swarm of sea beasts, all would be swallowed and flooded by boundless heavy water.”
Once someone breaks into the array, the boundless Xuan Yin Qi would unleash an enormous killing intent, forming numerous Xuan Yin Sword Qis, enough to tear the enemy apart.”
Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator stepped into it, they could still be slain by the power of the array, rendered unable to escape or avoid.”
“The brilliance of a fourth-rank grand array lies not only in the combination of the two arrays.”
“What’s more important is that a fourth-rank grand array will form a double-layered boundary.”
“Previously, a third-rank grand array could only form one kind of boundary..”
