Sage of Humanity-Chapter 677 - 675: Storming the Tower

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 moment.

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 time, he could resolve this issue.

The method of cultivating and recovering through the construction of small spirit energy gathering funnels had helped Lu Ye tremendously on many occasions.

Like at this moment.

A typical array cultivator who came 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 time left, and the improvements 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 times, 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 times 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 immerse his whole heart and soul in understanding the gifts of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda. He had more time than other array cultivators to enhance his Array Path skills with the help of these gifts.

His mind deeply engrossed, time slipped away until at a certain moment, the surrounding spirit mist suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Lu Ye subtly perceived the change and quickly refocused his mind, knowing that his time in this layer had reached its limit, and it was time 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 time limit of six hours. Passing the trial within this time would earn the pavilion's reward. Therefore, the less time spent on the trial, the greater the reward received, leaving more time for recovery and comprehension.

In this first layer, Lu Ye had broken through the array in just one incense stick's time, spending the rest of the time absorbing the benefits.

The volume 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 overwhelmed 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 somewhat 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.

Time 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 extremely vast and empty area.

A pinpoint of luminescent light suddenly appeared before him, and as he reached out toward that speck of light, a message instantly appeared in his mind.

The test this time was to set up a formation, specifically, a formation according to the requirements proposed by the Hundred Arrays Pagoda. The required formation wasn't a difficult one, merely 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 requirements 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, meeting the minimum standard wasn't difficult. Almost at the same time as he discovered the challenge of this layer, several plans had already formed in his mind.

But he naturally wasn't satisfied with just meeting the minimum standard. In such a test, the better he performed, the greater the reward he would receive.

Standing in place and pondering briefly, Lu Ye soon had a plan in mind. He immediately began to implement it.

One by one, array banners were thrown in all directions, constructing the basic framework 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 framework 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 time, a Spirit Gathering Array took shape. As the last rune slotted into place, the entire array was immediately 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 time 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, some of the array cultivators here were competing with each other, some were sitting in meditation with their eyes closed, and some were discussing the Array Path together.

But now, all the array cultivators were gathered in groups, talking animatedly about something.

This was a scene seldom seen here.

Even when discussing the Array Path on regular days, they would control their volume, 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.

Some 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 shameful.

As for affiliation to a faction, under the unique atmosphere at the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, such boundaries had become blurred. The cultivators who came 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," someone complimented 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 achievement. One must know that many of the array cultivators here hadn't even passed the fortieth layer.

Their method of running the pagoda was different from Lu Ye's, mostly going through one layer at a time. 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 time 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 same 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.
