"This..."

A bright light flickered in Zhong Heng’s eyes.

This means that as long as he can learn more advanced Spirit Gathering Arrays,

it would be equivalent to increasing his aptitude.

Zhong Heng has innate talent as an Array Master. Just like Alchemists and Artifact Refiners, having a strong and delicate Divine Sense is a prerequisite, which is one reason why these professions have high entry barriers.

Therefore, Zhong Heng’s talent in terms of Divine Sense is actually not bad. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The only lacking aspect is his Spirit Root aptitude.

"Moreover..."

"I remember the Five Elements Technique also has a deeper layer of..."

The Five Elements Technique has a not-so-secret secret; if cultivated by someone with a Five Elements Dao Body or Five Elements Spirit Body, it has additional effects.

It’s even related to a legendary True Immortal.

However, this secret doesn’t have much relevance to ordinary people.

Zhong Heng doesn’t possess any form of Five Elements Physique, but if he could have a cultivation speed equivalent to those with Five Elements Physiques, then perhaps he could be like them...

"In that case, there’s no worry about cultivation..."

In the Cultivation Realm, geniuses engage in battles against the heavens, earth, and people, finding endless joy.

For ordinary folks, it’s a race against time.

The Longevity Ghost is forever chasing cultivators, who after experiencing longevity and a touch of Dao would hardly wish to be taken away by the ghost.

In the Cultivation Realm, there are countless cultivators who live their lives in arduous cultivation without legendary tales.

Having such abilities...

At least it represents that Zhong Heng can break away from the masses racing against time...

Currently, Zhong Heng’s rapid cultivation is all driven by resources piling up.

However, if his cultivation improves further, obtaining those treasures that can significantly enhance cultivation wouldn’t be ordinary.

More is reliant on aptitude with pills as a supplement in daily cultivation.

"Even if it’s bait, I’ll take it."

Zhong Heng took a deep breath and said calmly.

[You’ve discovered how to load Defensive Arrays and Attack Arrays onto the body, thus gaining the abilities of these arrays.]

[What’s particularly remarkable is that these Body Arrays can overlap with external arrays, multiplying their power.]

[Externally arranged arrays only relate to materials and array skills, whereas internally it has major ties to cultivation.]

Jiang Ming looked at the content on the golden text, lost in thought.

The natural talent of "Born of my material, it must have its use" is indeed strong... It’s a must-pick, must-ban.

In other eras blessed by the River Map, perhaps only one River Map ability could be activated.

However, due to changes with the Luo Book, the River Map Illusion talent has been amplified by the River Map.

The River Map might have just made a casual move, there are many such arrangements in the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, but for Zhong Heng, it’s an arrangement that could alter fate.

But...

"It shouldn’t just stop here..."

Jiang Ming looked up at the beginning of this simulation.

The talent of "Born of my material, it must have its use" seemed to be shining.

In this life, progress had been made in the Array Dao, with changes in the River Map... and even the Five Spirit Roots seem easier to cultivate compared to other eras, but, perhaps it’s not just that...

Jiang Ming had a premonition.

[You start to focus more on the Spirit Gathering Array.]

[You begin visiting numerous Array Masters, studying and exploring the intricacies of the Spirit Gathering Array. Many Array Masters are stunned by your creative ideas and solid fundamentals, deeply appreciating you, and some even voluntarily offer to take you under their wing, which you courteously decline.]

[The world assumes it’s because you feel they aren’t worthy of being your mentor, yet no one realizes your near-instinctual fear of the River Map being discovered by outsiders causes you to refuse their mentorship.]

[Most masters don’t get angry when you decline them, on the contrary, they are very willing to befriend you.]

[To increase practice opportunities, you begin arranging various Spirit Gathering Arrays almost at cost.]

[The Divine Strategy Pavilion in the Three Clouds Market instantly became bustling, and even the business in the Divine Strategy Pavilions of other markets improved, with Qian Hua even representing Yunmiao Master to commend you.]

[Lin Wui, your nominal war slave and actual sister, became busy; her silence transformed into increased activity.]

[You notice she seems to have fallen in love with the delicacies of the Cultivation Realm and even befriended a female Spiritual Chef.]

[You don’t have much to say about this. Extreme solitary cultivation isn’t a good thing.]

[A month has passed.]

[Your expertise in the Spirit Gathering Array has vastly increased. With the ability to form a Void Array, your speed in arranging arrays is extremely fast. For a time, the price of Spirit Gathering Arrays in areas extending tens of thousands of miles from Three Clouds Market has been driven down by you.]

[An Array Master Alliance even protested, accusing you of disrupting the market and killing competition, prompting you to slightly increase your prices to quell the noise.]

[And the Hundred Stars Alliance’s evaluation of you has also risen.]

[One day, representatives from the Hundred Stars Alliance arrived.]

"Master Zhong, please."

The Hundred Stars Alliance’s attendant politely invited Zhong Heng into a luxuriously decorated secret room.

Zhong Heng could see that this place was arranged with an extraordinarily luxurious Spirit Gathering Array, along with arrays for ventilation, freshness, vitality, and calming; entering this room felt like stepping into a Spiritual Qi-rich, vibrant forest Secret Realm.

This room isn’t simple; who invited me?

Zhong Heng instinctively studied the Spirit Gathering Array within the room.

"Zhong Heng, is it..."

"Tell me how was your last meeting with my son that day..."
