Chapter 54: Insufficient Cultivation to Break Through to the Eighth-Grade Array Master

[You didn't continue to worry about how you got to the depths of the island. You looked around for a moment and found that the black tortoise didn't move. You didn't know whether it fell asleep or completely ignored you. ]

[So, you looked at the forbidden formation, hoping to be inspired by it to improve your formation. ]

[The array of array symbols outlined one unfamiliar array pattern after another, and you couldn't understand it for a while. ]

[You know that with your current array attainments, you definitely can't fully comprehend this forbidden formation. ]

[So you chose one of the countless intertwined array patterns and began to analyze it. ]

[You want to break through the surface with a little bit, and understand it step by step. ]

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network → 𝗍𝗐𝗄𝖺𝗇.𝖼𝗈𝗆]

[But even so, as you continue to analyze, you feel like your head is about to explode. ]

[After half an hour, you couldn't hold on any longer and chose to take a break. ]

[But you didn't give up. After a half-day break, you started to analyze the array again. ]

[You did the same thing after that! ]

[You analyzed and understood the forbidden array intermittently every day. ]

[In the fourth year, a whole year had passed, and you had only analyzed a small part of the array. ]

[Even so, you felt that your understanding of the array had improved a lot in the process of continuous analysis. ]

[In the fifth year, you analyzed half of the array, and you clearly felt that you had a lot of different understandings of the array. ]

[In the sixth year, you continued to analyze the array. ]

[In the eighth year, you finally analyzed the array, which greatly improved your knowledge of the array. ]

[This made you feel very good, but when you looked at the other arrays around you, your heart suddenly sank. ]

[It took you five years to figure out just one array pattern. ]

[And there are hundreds of thousands of such array patterns in the area you can see with your naked eyes. ]

[The complete forbidden array is not just the one in front of you, but covers the entire southern region. How many such array patterns are there? ]

[And you have to analyze this forbidden array and understand its underlying logic before you can find a way to crack and break it. ]

[With your analysis speed, you dare not imagine how much time it will take. ]

["Ah, the road ahead is long and arduous." You sighed! ]

[However, this is something you expected. ]

[The purpose of your coming here is just to improve your array strength. ]

[After the array is improved a little more, when you go to the Ridge Mountain again, you can try to repair the array left by Senior Lu Wuya that can resist the thunder. ]

[Everything you do now is just to increase the simulation time and work hard to improve your strength. ]

[In the ninth year, you did not analyze new array patterns. ]

[Instead, you constantly summarized your gains from the previous years. At this time, you felt that your understanding of arrays seemed to be enough to arrange an eighth-grade array. ]

[You did not hesitate and started to practice immediately. ]

[However, when you were arranging the eighth-grade array, you had just carved five array symbols, but they could not form a pattern, and the spiritual energy in your Qi sea was exhausted and it was difficult to support. ]

[You muttered to yourself: "Is it really like this?" ]

[You had expected this situation, but you still couldn't help but want to try it. ]

[The array symbols of the array are all carved with spiritual energy. The higher the grade of the array, the more spiritual energy is required to carve each array symbol. ]

[In theory, ordinary Jindan realm cultivation can only arrange a fourth-grade array at most. ]

[Some geniuses have a better foundation, with more Jindan patterns, a large Qi sea, and a large amount of spiritual energy reserves. It is very rare to be able to arrange a fifth-grade or even sixth-grade array. ]

[You can transform your vital energy into spiritual energy because of your 12th-grade golden elixir cultivation. With your qi sea capacity three times that of ordinary cultivators, you can set up a 7th-grade formation. ]

[But this is already your limit. It is still a bit unrealistic to want to set up an 8th-grade formation. ]

[You shook your head and were not discouraged. ]

[Although you can't set up an 8th-grade formation, it is not a problem of formation, but because your spiritual energy is not enough to support it. ]

[You believe that as long as your strength improves, you will soon be able to set up an 8th-grade formation. ]

[Moreover, if you can't set up an 8th-grade formation, it will not affect your purpose of coming here. ]

[You originally wanted to gain more understanding of formation here so that you can repair the formation left by Lu Wuya. ]

[There is a difference between repair and arrangement. Repair does not necessarily require you to carve the formation symbol. Perhaps you only need to guide the problematic area. ]

[You feel that this trip is not in vain. ]

[In the tenth year, you were taken out of the Endless Sea by the Black Turtle, and it revealed its purpose. ]

[The Black Turtle told you that it was also a prisoner. ]

[And warned you that when you encounter an invincible enemy, don't be reckless, and see the situation clearly before taking action. ]

[Only then did you realize that the Black Turtle threatened to eat you because it thought you were too reckless at the beginning. ]

[In the twelfth year, you returned to Qingshan City. ]

[In the thirteenth year, the immortal slave in black came, and you saw the Jiang family being destroyed by his palm. ]

【After that, your father Jiang Fushan arrived with his men, killed the immortal slaves in black, and led the Jiang family to evacuate. 】

【You also appeared in time, followed everyone and left, heading for the Ridge Mountain. 】

【After you arrived at the Ridge Mountain, you did not immediately ask to see the formation left by Senior Lu Wuya. 】

【Instead, you practiced here with peace of mind, and intentionally or unintentionally showed that you were a seventh-grade formation master. 】

【In the fourteenth year, Elder Li found you and hoped that you could help the Ridge Mountain to build some advanced spirit gathering formations to speed up the cultivation speed of the immortal cultivators here. 】

【You agreed without hesitation. 】

【The advanced spirit gathering formation is a seventh-grade formation. Because you do not have enough spiritual energy, you are not fast at setting it up. 】

【Often after setting up a high-level spirit gathering formation, you need to rest and recover for a while. 】

【In the sixteenth year, it took you two full years to set up five high-level spirit gathering formations on the Ridge Mountain. 】

【Looking outside at this time, you can clearly sense that a large amount of spiritual energy is gathered from afar by the high-level spirit gathering formation. 】

【In the seventeenth year, the cultivation environment of the Back Mountain has obviously improved. The cultivators here can improve their spiritual energy without taking the risk of robbing the spirit stones of the immortal slaves. 】

【In this year, you received a large number of thank-you gifts from the cultivators. 】

【Among them, the spirit stones added up to more than 900,000. 】

【In the eighteenth year, you have become quite popular in the Back Mountain, and everyone trusts you. 】

【This year, you found Mr. Li and told him that you wanted to observe the formation left by Senior Lu Wuya. 】

【You want to get some inspiration from it and improve your own attainments in the art of formation. 】
