The measures taken by the Tianyan Sect were undoubtedly to protect Lu Ye. After all, Lu Ye had previously given Bai Qian some Soul Cleansing Water, which for cultivators like Bai Qian and Yooi Xiao, who were struggling in the True Lake Level 9 Realm, was the most coveted treasure. With the help of the Soul Cleansing Water, they had hoped to break through their own limitations and advance to the Divine Sea Realm.

However, from the subsequent developments, Lu Ye, constantly stirring up various issues on the Spirit Stream battlefield, eventually caught the attention of the cultivators from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge. Even to this moment, their resolve to kill him had not ceased.

At the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, the array cultivators, many of whom had spent a long time here, were relatively familiar with each other through exchanges and comparisons. Among them, the cultivator Luo who had spoken earlier was one of the outstanding ones.

Surpassing fifty levels of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda was an extremely proud achievement in the entire Cloud River battlefield.

Amid the crowd of array cultivators, Cultivator Luo shook his head with a wry smile, "My master once said that my aptitude is neither good nor bad. In the realm of the Array Path, becoming a master is unobstructed, but becoming a grandmaster is hopeless."

Becoming a master is unobstructed, but becoming a grandmaster is hopeless. This was the evaluation his master had given him. Simply put, achieving the level of a master in the Array Path was not a problem, but reaching that of a grandmaster was virtually impossible.

Previously, Cultivator Luo had not entirely accepted this evaluation, but as he spent more time in the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, he had to face reality.

After surpassing fifty levels, he had already attempted thrice to conquer the fifty-first level. However, three attempts in, and three failures out, perhaps after more strenuous cultivation, he might be able to break through the fifty-first level, but what about beyond that? The Hundred Arrays Pagoda had sixty-six levels, and the challenges became harder the further one went.

Even if he spent his entire life here, he might still not be able to conquer all sixty-six levels of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda.

Yet, even if he was an array cultivator, how could he content himself with his cultivation always being stuck at the Cloud River Realm? He was already at Cloud River Level 9 and had long been eligible to advance to the True Lake. The only reason he had not chosen to advance was a fixation, a desire to go further in the Hundred Arrays Tower.

But the things he had seen and heard today struck him like the sound of a bell at dusk and dawn, awakening him.

In this world, the aptitudes of people always varied. Others might easily resonate with the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, but he never had that privilege.

As a cultivator, one must ultimately focus on cultivation.

He secretly decided to attempt it one last time. This time, whether he succeeded or failed, he would choose to advance to the True Lake and leave the Cloud River battlefield.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, why belittle yourself, you..." The array cultivator who had spoken earlier stopped abruptly.

At the same time, the noisy surroundings quieted down completely, and all the array cultivators looked at the Hundred Arrays Pagoda with shocked expressions.

That peculiar rhythm... appeared again!

The Hundred Arrays Pagoda resonated for the third time!

"What's going on?" Some array cultivators even doubted if they were dreaming. A resonance that typically occurred once every few months had already shocked them with its occurrence twice today, and now a third time?

Which strong cultivator had triggered this resonance?

Were there so many genius array cultivators attempting the Hundred Arrays Pagoda today?

Various emotions surged, but did not hinder the array cultivators from making the correct response. The resonance of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda was rare, and the unique rhythm was very beneficial for the enlightenment of array cultivators, so one after another, they quickly sat down, focusing their minds and silently contemplating.

On the thirty-fifth level of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, Lu Ye once again used Soul Cleansing Water to stabilize the assaults and pains on his psyche, began constructing a small spirit energy gathering funnel, and while cultivating, contemplated the gains from this attempt to prepare for the next level's challenge.

Time passed quickly, and nearly six hours later, the challenge of the thirty-sixth level began.

The array cultivators outside the Hundred Arrays Pagoda gradually went mad.

Because in these two days, some incomprehensible events had occurred.

Since the first resonance of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, followed by a second one after one incense stick's time, and then a third one six hours later, and six hours after that a fourth, and yet another six hours a fifth...

Thereafter, almost every six hours, the Hundred Arrays Pagoda resonated once.

Had the Hundred Arrays Pagoda broken?

Almost all array cultivators couldn't help but think this, otherwise, how could there be so many resonances in succession?

However, after some bold array cultivators entered the Hundred Arrays Pagoda to investigate, they confirmed that there were no abnormalities inside the pagoda.

In other words, it wasn't that the Hundred Arrays Pagoda was broken.

This time after time resonance was indeed triggered by array cultivators attempting the tower.

Initially, the array cultivators thought that each resonance was triggered by different cultivators. But as time passed and the number of resonances increased, people began to realize that wasn't the case.

Because the timing of each resonance was almost every six hours.

This timing was almost the same as the time limit for each level of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, making it quite intriguing.

The array cultivators unconsciously considered an unimaginable possibility—there was an exceptionally talented array cultivator inside, achieving splendid results on each level, thus triggering the resonance of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda each time.

But... could such a thing really be possible?

It was beyond imagination.

But beyond this explanation, there seems to be no better one available.

What can now be confirmed is that the array cultivator who triggered the first and second resonance events was not the same person, as the intervals were too short.

The array cultivators are now unclear whether the subsequent resonances were triggered by the first individual or the second...

As news continued to spread, Hundred Arrays City, thirty li away, also boiled over, with a large number of array cultivators rushing over.

Normally, many array cultivators reside within Hundred Arrays City, and those lingering outside the Hundred Arrays Pagoda are just a small portion. However, as the news spread, in less than half a day, the number of array cultivators gathered outside the Hundred Arrays Pagoda had exceeded a thousand, and more were still on their way.

No one wanted to miss such a grand event, nor did they want to pass up such an opportunity.

Although they were not the ones challenging the tower or causing the resonance, under each enlightenment, they too could gain considerable benefits.

Within a short time, the area outside the Hundred Arrays Pagoda was almost bursting at the seams. Looking around, the place was densely packed with people, each finding a spot to sit cross-legged.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, this is the tenth time, right?" asked a cultivator familiar to the Luo-named array cultivator sitting by him.

The Luo-named array cultivator nodded, "Yes, the tenth time."

The resonance occurred every six hours on average, and nearly sixty hours had passed since the previous one, indeed marking the tenth occurrence.

From initial confusion to shock, to now numbness—it was a true reflection of his heart, and indeed of all the array cultivators gathered here.

When what is rarely seen becomes frequent and even appears systematically, even these Cloud River Realm cultivators were stunned and overwhelmed.

"I always feel that this is not man-made, but rather seems like a reaction from the Hundred Arrays Pagoda itself," another voice chimed in.

Even though it has been verified that there is nothing wrong with the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, many still believe that these repeated resonances are not man-induced. Perhaps the pagoda has undergone some unknown changes.

Of course, this change was something the array cultivators were happy to see. If the Hundred Arrays Pagoda could maintain such resonances from now on, leaving other things aside, the entire array cultivation in the Nine Provinces would indeed elevate a level.

Under continuous enlightenment, even the most obtuse array cultivator should have gained significantly.

Looking towards the direction of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, the Luo-named cultivator said nothing.

Whether these repeated resonances were man-made or reactions from the Hundred Arrays Pagoda itself, no one was clear as of now. If it were the latter, it would be one thing, but if it were the former... then the one challenging the pagoda must be an extraordinary genius, whose achievements in the Array Path would be unmatched across all Nine Provinces array cultivators.

This made him recall something.

During his last return to the sect, his master had told him that someone had once rushed through thirty-three levels of their sect's Hundred Arrays Pagoda in one go, triggering thirty-three resonances...

And that person was none other than Lu Yiye of the famous Righteous Blood Sect.

To be honest, had his own master not told him this, he would never have believed it.

Rushing through thirty-three levels and triggering thirty-three resonances at once—could this really be done by a human?

His master told him this not to discourage him but to remind him that in the field of array cultivation, there were always greater talents and higher skies, advising him not to become too obsessed.

He hadn't thought much about it previously, but now recalling these words, his heart suddenly sank.

Could it be that the person currently challenging the pagoda was that very Lu Yiye? If he had managed to trigger thirty-three resonances consecutively in the pagoda of their sect, his performance here at the Hundred Arrays Pagoda of the Cloud River battlefield would undoubtedly not be lacking.

Array cultivators regularly come and go at the Hundred Arrays Pagoda here, and he hadn't noticed whether Lu Yiye had entered the pagoda or not.

But even if it really was him, such a performance seemed rather exaggerated.

After all, the difficulty of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda at the Cloud River battlefield was not comparable to that at their sect.

As these thoughts tumbled through his mind, a unique rhythm surged out once again.

Cries of astonishment erupted from the crowd, "The eleventh time!"

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

This number had excluded the first resonance, counting only from the second one, as the array cultivators involved could confirm that the individuals responsible for triggering the first and second resonances were not the same, but the subsequent ones had to be one of them.

Eleven consecutive resonances—what a terrifying achievement. Throughout history, no array cultivator had ever achieved this. Before, even if someone could trigger resonances consecutively, it was only two or three times at most.

An eleventh resonance not only broke the previous records but also reached a height that younger array cultivators could hardly aspire to.

Lu Ye's aptitude in array cultivation was decent, but it was far from the level of a once-in-an-eternity genius that the Luo-named cultivator imagined.

His dominance within the Hundred Arrays Pagoda relied on nothing but the Soul Cleansing Water.

This soul treasure, coveted by Divine Sea Realm strong cultivators, was now being used by him to stabilize his psyche and alleviate pain and pressure.
