Chapter 128 Spirit Array Master
Besides gathering resources and maintaining internal stability, it is also a manifestation of power.
If an army is controlled by a battle formation master, then it is an even better fighting force, capable of fighting against opponents of higher levels.
"Sir, what's next—"
Wang Fu asked the question.
"The Heavenly Wind Pavilion has just been established, and the surrounding forces have just been gathered together. Although no one dares to cause trouble because of my strength, expanding too quickly may not be a good thing."
"Let's continue operating within the framework of the Tianfeng Pavilion as previously established, and continue recruiting people. We'll talk about it again after some time. And if I'm not mistaken, the major forces in the Qinghuang Ancient Plain will soon take action."
Ye Feng hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.
During this period, most of the surrounding forces he subdued relied on the three major forces of the Qinghuang Ancient Plains for survival.
Now, Tianfeng Pavilion can no longer pay tribute to these three major forces as before. With such vested interests involved, conflict is inevitable.
However, if the three major forces of the Broken Gold Society don't come knocking on his door, he won't provoke them now.
The establishment of a power requires a period of adjustment, and it will take at least two to three months for Tianfeng Pavilion to be completely transformed and become a truly new power.
Right now, they're just a bunch of rabble with no real cohesion.
"I will follow your instructions completely."
Wang Fu clasped his hands in response, bowed, and withdrew.
"Summon Sheng Yuan here. I have many questions about spirit arrays that I need to ask him."
Ye Feng whispered a message, then closed his eyes and waited.
Spirit array master—this was a profession he had longed for since the Sword Continent. Now that he had found a place to settle down, he could finally give it a try.
Although a level 5 spirit array master is nothing in his eyes, he can learn some array-setting techniques from the master.
Whether one can become a spirit array master depends on whether one has a talent for spirit arrays.
However, he would rather become an alchemist, so that he would never have to worry about a lack of resources in the future.
Unfortunately, there are no great alchemists in the Qinghuang Ancient Plains. There are only a few third- or fourth-grade alchemists who are comparable to the Three Heavens Realm, and they are far away in other parts of the Qinghuang Ancient Plains.
If you want to learn how to refine elixirs, you can only explore on your own or wait for a period of time to learn a thing or two from these novice elixirs.
Fortunately, he had enough time in this Tianluo Continent. Not only were the original nine kings of the Great Luo Heavenly Domain not present, but even the Blood Eagle King had not appeared, which meant that his timeline was very early.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master."
Before long, an elderly man in a white robe entered the hall and bowed respectfully.
The old man had a thin face and bright eyes. He was Sheng Yuan, a level 5 spirit array master who had led the Mo Xia forces to surrender to Tianfeng Pavilion a few days ago.
"No need for such formalities."
Ye Feng opened his eyes, raised his hand to gesture for Sheng Yuan to sit down, and his attitude was gentle.
"I am quite interested in spirit arrays. I invited you here today to ask you some basic knowledge about spirit arrays."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuan was slightly taken aback, and then looked at Ye Feng with some surprise.
A young supreme expert wanting to learn spirit arrays is hardly a chance for a level 5 spirit array master like him. Normally, whether someone has the talent to be a spirit array master is tested before reaching the Spirit Wheel Realm.
"I haven't studied spirit arrays in the past for various reasons, but now I have quite a bit of free time."
Ye Feng gave a vague explanation, his gaze slightly lowered.
At present, Tianfeng Pavilion is newly established and its power is in the initial stage of development. His overall strength is also difficult to improve rapidly in a short period of time. It would be better to use it to study the art of spirit arrays.
These spiritual professions, which belong to the vast world, will require time to comprehend. It's better to cultivate them earlier, as it will greatly benefit both the development of one's own power and the acquisition of resources.
Looking across this vast world, the best spirit array teacher is none other than Qing Yanjing, the goddess of the Futu clan, one of the ancient races, who has the potential to become a grandmaster of saint-grade spirit arrays.
In the art of spirit arrays, few in the entire Great Thousand World can rival her, and this most outstanding woman of the Floating Pagoda Clan was not without opportunities to come into contact with her.
The Hundred Spirits Continent presents a good opportunity, but given the current state of development in the Great Luo Heaven Domain, it is too early.
He didn't know Qing Yanjing's exact age, but it was possible that she was over a hundred years old.
Before the willpower of the Great Thousand Worlds was fully activated, even powerful figures like Emperor Yan and Martial Ancestor took more than a hundred years, or even several hundred years, to cultivate to the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme.
Qing Yanjing possesses the eight divine veins of the Futu Ancient Clan and is engaged to Mohe Tian, the patriarch of the Maha Ancient Clan, so she is definitely not too young.
"I see. It is my honor."
Sheng Yuan solemnly cupped his hands, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
This young Pavilion Master is interested in spirit arrays. If he could offer some guidance, his position in the Heavenly Wind Pavilion would be even more secure.
When Tianfeng Pavilion was first established, there were no spirit array masters among them. He was the first to join. "Those who are skilled are teachers. The art of spirit arrays still needs your careful explanation."
Ye Feng snapped back to his senses and chuckled.
"You flatter me, Pavilion Master. I am merely a Level 5 Spirit Array Master, and there is only so much I can teach you."
Sheng Yuan humbly accepted the gesture from Ye Feng and took his seat.
"I'm sure you're familiar with the ranking system for spirit array masters, so I won't go into details. The initial ranking of spirit arrays depends on the number of spirit seals that can be condensed."
"And the spirit seal is the key to setting up a spirit array, besides the array diagram."
Sheng Yuan stroked his beard and began to explain some basic things to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng nodded slightly. Although he knew nothing about spirit arrays, he had still read some related information after arriving in this vast world.
The ranking of spirit array masters is divided into five levels, from level one to level five. Above that are the human-grade, earth-grade, and heaven-grade spirit array masters, and then the spirit array grandmaster and great grandmaster.
Every Grandmaster of Spirit Arrays holds a pivotal position in the Great Thousand Worlds, even surpassing the influence of some Heavenly Sovereigns.
"The so-called spirit array, simply put, is to form a resonance of spiritual power in a special way, thereby triggering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to achieve the effect of offense and defense."
"However, inducing this kind of resonance is extremely complex and difficult, requiring a high level of talent."
"Setting up formations is easy in some lower planes because the energy there is not as rich and complex as the spiritual energy of the Great Thousand Worlds. But it is not so easy on our continents."
"This is why there are so few spirit array masters, and the foundation of spirit arrays is spirit seals."
As he spoke, Sheng Yuan stretched out his hand, and spiritual power rapidly condensed at his fingertips, eventually transforming into more than a hundred shimmering spiritual seals.
Those spiritual seals looked quite mysterious and complex. They came from the same source as spiritual power, but they were not entirely the same.
"As for the core of the spirit array, it is the array diagram. Without the array diagram, no matter how many spirit seals are condensed, they cannot operate according to a specific route. They are like rootless duckweed, and have little power."
Sheng Yuan continued talking to Ye Feng while his hands moved quickly, and he began to make arrangements.
"Level Three Spirit Array—"
Watching the more than one hundred spiritual seals in Sheng Yuan's palm weave and intertwine like flowing light, Ye Feng's eyes narrowed slightly as he imprinted the shape of each spiritual seal and the trajectory of its spiritual power into the depths of his consciousness.
Sheng Yuan's hands flew, and the spiritual seals arranged themselves in the void according to some mysterious rules, their spiritual power resonating with each other, gradually outlining the prototype of a spiritual array about a hundred feet in size.
"Please take a look, Master. This is the level three spirit array I set up, the Lightning Array."
As Sheng Yuan manipulated the spirit seal, he spoke to Ye Feng, a hint of pride on his face.
Spirit array masters are rare in the entire Qinghuang Ancient Plains, and the reason he was willing to submit to the Tianfeng Pavilion was because he valued the potential of this Pavilion Master.
Such a young second-grade supreme being has unlimited potential for future achievements. If he can make contributions in the Heavenly Wind Pavilion and gain its support, he may well be qualified to challenge for the title of Spirit Array Master.
"He casually set up a level three spirit array; no wonder he's a level five spirit array master—"
Ye Feng smiled slightly and did not hold back his praise.
"This is the method of condensing spirit seals. With your strength, if you have a talent for spirit arrays, condensing more than a hundred spirit seals within a day or two should be no problem."
Sheng Yuan's face was full of smiles as he raised his hand and handed Ye Feng a jade slip, then stared intently at it.
The number of spiritual seals a person can condense depends not only on talent and willpower, but also on their own strength.
The stronger one is, the more acute one's perception of the spiritual energy in the world becomes, and the more spiritual imprints one can condense.
If this Pavilion Master truly possesses talent in spirit arrays, then with just a period of cultivation, he would likely reach the level of a Human-Rank Spirit Array Master, on par with supreme experts.
"Let's give it a try—"
Ye Feng took the jade slip, slowly closed his eyes, and used his spiritual energy to sense it, receiving the method of condensing the spiritual seal.
At the same time, he kept recalling every detail of when Sheng Yuan set up the formation, the process of the spiritual seal condensing and its trajectory.
A moment later, Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes and stretched out his slender, jade-like hand.
"Freeze—"
Ye Feng let out a low shout, and a blue light surged in his palm. Dark blue spiritual power flickered in his palm, and then Sheng Yuan saw a spiritual seal slowly emerge.
"As expected of a supreme expert, their perception of spiritual energy is indeed keen."
Seeing that Ye Feng condensed the spirit seal so quickly, Sheng Yuan was not too surprised.
Generally speaking, beginners with talent for spirit arrays need at least half an hour to condense a spirit seal through visualization, but the Pavilion Master in front of us is a genuine supreme expert.
Such beings are naturally acutely aware of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so it is not surprising that they can condense a spiritual seal in a short time with such strength.
However, as Ye Feng continued to condense, more and more spiritual seals appeared in his hand, and Sheng Yuan's expression changed from its initial calm to quite interesting.
"One hundred and fifty spiritual seals—"
Sheng Yuan's eyes were filled with shock as he stared intently at Ye Feng.
One hundred and fifty spirit seals—this is already within the scope of a fourth-level spirit array master. Judging from the way this person condensed the seals, he was clearly a beginner and had never actually encountered this before.
It would be impossible for an ordinary supreme expert to condense so many spirit seals in such a short time. This can only mean that this person's talent for spirit arrays is extremely good, far exceeding his imagination.
"That's the limit—"
Sensing that he could no longer solidify, Ye Feng immediately stopped and dispersed the spiritual seals with a wave of his hand.
Controlling 150 spiritual seals is the current limit of his mental and spiritual power manipulation, but that doesn't mean it will be in the future.
Having just practiced condensing spiritual seals, even with his supreme strength, he still felt incredibly awkward in many areas.
Studying spirit arrays, like cultivating spiritual power, requires a considerable amount of time.
"For the Pavilion Master to have condensed such a number of spirit seals on his first attempt, his talent in the art of spirit arrays is probably more than just innate—"
Sheng Yuan sighed from the bottom of his heart.
There are many supreme experts in the vast world, but not everyone is qualified to become a spirit array master.
The ancient, desolate plains.
In just a few days, the name Tianfeng Pavilion spread like wildfire across this vast land spanning over 100,000 square miles.
A young supreme expert appeared out of nowhere and swiftly subdued more than ten surrounding forces, including the Azure Stone Sect and Frost City. Such news was enough to make any force take notice.
Broken Golden City.
This magnificent city, located in the northwest heart of the Qinghuang Ancient Plain, is entirely constructed of golden stone, gleaming with a cold metallic luster under the blazing sun.
The city was filled with towering buildings and heavily guarded, and the people who came and went all exuded a fierce aura, far surpassing ordinary forces.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the central hall of Duanjin City was as heavy as a mountain.
"Bang!"
A teacup carved from millennia-old jade was smashed heavily on the ground, shattering into pieces.
"What a magnificent Tianfeng Pavilion!"
On the main seat of the main hall, an old man dressed in a dark gold robe had a livid face and his piercing eyes were full of anger.
This person is none other than Chen Duanjin, the president of the Duanjin Society, a top-tier expert at the peak of the First Grade Supreme Realm, who enjoys a great reputation throughout the entire Qinghuang Ancient Plain.
"President, according to Deacon Zhou Yuan, Ye Feng, the Pavilion Master of Tianfeng Pavilion, is very young, so he must have some background. We..."
'
At the head of the hall, an elderly man in brocade robes hesitated before speaking. This man was Zhou Tai, the Grand Elder of the Broken Gold Society. Although his strength was slightly inferior to Chen Duanjin's, he still possessed the strength of a newly entered First-Rank Supreme.
"So what if he's a young prodigy?"
Chen Duanjin sneered, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes, but more so, resentment.
"This Qinghuang Ancient Plains is not something that an outsider like him can call the shots. Our Duanjin Society is not without backers either."
As Chen Duanjin spoke, he gradually formed a plan in his mind.
He had painstakingly built up the reputation of the Broken Gold Society over many years, and only then did it gain some influence in the Qinghuang Ancient Plain. However, this region was not very large to begin with, and it was simply not large enough to accommodate an outsider to take a share of the pie.
"President, the Heavenly Wind Pavilion is newly established and its foundation is still shallow. If our Broken Gold Society joins forces with the Hundred Lines Sect and the Dry Bone Sect to exert pressure, it wouldn't be difficult for the Heavenly Wind Pavilion to disappear from this desolate ancient plain—"
On the right side of the hall, a middle-aged man with a clean-cut face and strength at the third level of the Divine Soul Realm spoke in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with shrewdness.
"joint--"
Chen Duanjin's eyes flashed, then he snorted coldly.
"That old fox Li Baixing and that madman Gu Xuan, are they really that easy to persuade?"
"but..."
Chen Duanjin changed the subject, his lips twitching slightly.
"I don't think they would sit idly by and watch an outsider disrupt the balance of the Qinghuang Ancient Plains. So I sent someone to tell them that I have important matters to discuss with them."
