Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 997 The Great Dao of Arrays
Mo Wuji said with some apology, "Senior, my main purpose in coming to Nirvana Learning Academy is the Mortal Land. The Dao of Alchemy is just something I'm studying along the way."
He didn't even bother asking if going to Pill Sea required an assessment.
"Haha." Shi Caihe laughed heartily and stood up. "I knew you must have come for the Mortal Land. I have something to attend to and must leave first. If you need any help in Nirvana Learning Academy in the future, feel free to look for me, Shi Caihe."
After saying that, Shi Caihe raised his hand and tossed a jade token to Mo Wuji. With a flash of his figure, he was already gone.
Mo Wuji grabbed the jade token and bowed in the direction where Shi Caihe had disappeared. Only then did he say, "This Senior Shi seems to have a good impression of me, actually leaving me a jade token."
Xi Lingru also nodded and said, "In the Pill Sea of Nirvana Learning Academy, the Alchemist God King I admire most is the Caihe Alchemist God King. His jade token is very useful. Keep it, you might need it in the future."
Mo Wuji naturally knew that Shi Caihe's jade token would be very useful, but he didn't plan to use it. He wasn't the kind of person who would take someone's casual words to heart. Even if Shi Caihe truly admired him, he wouldn't casually use this jade token. Unless his life was at stake, this jade token would just be a souvenir.
After Mo Wuji put away the jade token, Xi Lingru said, "Wuji, thank you for giving me twenty catties of top-grade Green Dew Rice. Logically, I should wait here for your assessment to finish, but since I've obtained the Green Dew Rice, I must return as soon as possible, so I must also take my leave."
Mo Wuji knew that Xi Lingru had come here mainly for the top-grade Green Dew Rice. He didn't ask Xi Lingru what he needed the top-grade Green Dew Rice for. When Xi Lingru wanted to leave, he personally escorted him outside the rest stop.
Back in his room, Mo Wuji activated the restrictions. The first thing he did was to take out the Grand Dao of Arrays that Xi Lingru had given him.
The Dao of Arrays was even more important to Mo Wuji than the Dao of Alchemy. Previously, his progress in the Dao of Arrays had been slow, mainly because he relied entirely on his own exploration. The Immortal Mortal Technique was suitable for deducing all Daos, but only in the initial stages. Once any Dao reached a certain level, his progress would directly slow down.
It was just like his Dao of Alchemy. If he hadn't obtained the inheritance of the Green Robed Alchemist God King, even if he had obtained over a thousand stalks of fifth-grade God Spirit Herbs, it would have been difficult for him to enter the realm of Alchemist God King.
Now, he only hoped that the Grand Dao of Arrays that Xi Lingru had given him was good, so that his Dao of Arrays could take another step forward. If he was a fifth-grade God Array King today, he wouldn't have needed to rely on Xi Lingru's methods to break the suppression and confinement array of the Scattered Cultivator Alliance. He could have directly broken that confinement array himself.
In Mo Wuji's view, the Grand Dao of Arrays should be a book that explained the Dao of Arrays. He didn't expect to learn much array knowledge from this book. He just hoped to be inspired by it and broaden his array vision.
When Mo Wuji saw the words on the first page, he was a little stunned.
Where was this a book introducing the Dao of Arrays? It was clearly a Divine Art, and the name of the Divine Art was Grand Dao of Arrays.
Soon, Mo Wuji became pleasantly surprised. This Divine Art was not an offensive Divine Art, but a Divine Art for breaking arrays. Once this Divine Art was mastered, even a third-grade God Array Master could use this Divine Art to instantly break a fifth-grade God Array. As a fourth-grade Grand God Array Master, if he thoroughly mastered the Grand Dao of Arrays, even if he didn't understand sixth-grade God Arrays, he would have a chance to use this Divine Art to break them.
"Good stuff," Mo Wuji secretly thanked Xi Lingru in his heart.
The Dao of Arrays was vast and boundless. The more skilled Mo Wuji became in the Dao of Arrays, the more he understood its horror. Once trapped in a confinement array, no matter how powerful you were, you could only wait for death.
It was precisely because of this that Mo Wuji worked hard to learn the Dao of Arrays. The time he spent on the Dao of Arrays was second only to the time he spent on cultivation, and even more than the time he spent on alchemy.
However, the Dao of Arrays was vast and complex. No matter how much time Mo Wuji spent, his Dao of Arrays still lagged behind his Dao of Alchemy.
Mo Wuji was already a fourth-grade Grand God Array Master. He quickly immersed himself in the Grand Dao of Arrays Divine Art, and his one hundred and eight meridians were fully operational, repeatedly deducing the Grand Dao of Arrays Divine Art.
…
Mo Wuji began his seclusion, but the events that occurred in the Scattered Cultivator Alliance didn't even cause a ripple. Only the people within the Scattered Cultivator Alliance knew that Luo Yu, the Elder God King in charge of the Scattered Cultivator assessment affairs, had been adjusted and was no longer responsible for the assessment affairs, but had been assigned to other places.
As for the crystal ball evidence that Mo Wuji had taken out, and the conflict with the Scattered Cultivator Alliance, it didn't have any impact on the Scattered Cultivator Alliance. The punishment that Mo Wuji had initially expected didn't happen to the Scattered Cultivator Alliance at all.
Having spent almost everything, and even losing the lucrative position of being responsible for the Scattered Cultivator assessment, Luo Yu couldn't wait to devour Mo Wuji, bones and all. However, Mo Wuji was hiding in seclusion in the Nirvana Dao City rest stop, so he was helpless. He could only leave spies behind, and once Mo Wuji failed the assessment and left Nirvana Dao City, it would be the day Mo Wuji died.
At the same time, after learning that Mo Wuji was not a descendant of the Genghe Dao of Alchemy, the Nirvana Learning Academy's Snub-nosed Daoist completely lost interest in Mo Wuji. As for Mo Wuji's saying that he didn't want to join the Pill Sea, he just listened to it and didn't take it to heart at all.
He was very clear about the Mortal Dao. Limited by innate conditions, it was impossible to cause a big wave. In Jian Sha's view, it was a dream for the Mortal Dao to produce another genius like Zhong Di. Zhong Di's alchemy speed was indeed fast, but his alchemy was only fast, and nothing else.
Mortals are mortals after all.
…
After immersing his entire body and mind into the deduction of the Grand Dao of Arrays Divine Art, Mo Wuji realized how complex this Divine Art was. In theory, as long as you were a God Array Master, you could learn this Divine Art. However, after Mo Wuji truly began to deduce this Divine Art, he understood why Xi Lingru had thrown this Divine Art to him.
To master the Grand Dao of Arrays, you needed to be at least at the level of a fifth-grade God Array King, and your Divine Sense outburst had to be terrifyingly strong. You had to inscribe thousands of array patterns in an instant. The more array patterns you inscribed in an instant, the more complex they were, the greater the power of the Divine Art would be. This kind of Divine Sense outburst was difficult even for a God Monarch to achieve. If your Divine Sense outburst was weak, you wouldn't be able to break powerful arrays at all.
Perhaps only powerful World Gods and God Kings could do it, but World Gods and God Kings were already fifth-grade God Array Kings, so what was the point of them secluding themselves to learn this chicken-rib Divine Art? In the God Continent, the most powerful arrays were sixth-grade God Arrays. A fifth-grade God Array King, who was also a God King, secluding themselves for countless years to learn a Divine Art that wasn't of much use to them, probably most people wouldn't do it. They would spend their time on more important things, not waste it like this.
Although Mo Wuji was a fourth-grade Grand God Array Master, he cultivated the Mortal Dao and possessed the Enlightenment Meridian and the Divine Storage Meridian. Although his Divine Sense was far inferior to powerful God Monarchs, let alone World Gods and God Kings, his Divine Sense outburst was not bad at all, precisely because he had the Divine Storage Meridian. Not only that, but he was also proficient in the inscription of Void Array Patterns.
All of this combined allowed him to deduce the Grand Dao of Arrays without having to step into the fifth-grade God Array King realm or the God Monarch realm.
Most importantly, Mo Wuji believed that this Divine Art was very useful. Even if he was a fifth-grade God Array King, it would be difficult for him to instantly break a fifth-grade God Array. The Grand Dao of Arrays was a method of breaking arrays instantly, and this kind of Divine Art was sometimes a life-saving method. He had walked this path and wandered between life and death countless times, so any life-saving method had a strong attraction to him.
A month passed, and although Mo Wuji was still unable to cast the Grand Dao of Arrays, he could already inscribe hundreds of array patterns in an instant. Even if he added one more array pattern, he would need to spend more time and effort. For Mo Wuji, mastering the Grand Dao of Arrays was still only a matter of time.
Mo Wuji had no choice but to stop his seclusion. The Nirvana Learning Academy's assessment time had arrived, and his main purpose in coming here was to participate in the Nirvana Learning Academy's assessment.
…
Because this assessment wasn't a matter of just one or two days, Mo Wuji specifically instructed Big Desolate and Shuaiguo to cultivate diligently in the rest stop. Even Chi Bing and Chi Chuan, Mo Wuji didn't let them follow him.
The Nirvana Learning Academy's assessment would naturally not be dangerous, and Chi Bing was very relieved about this.
As Mo Wuji walked to the entrance of the rest stop, he saw the changes in Nirvana Dao City. The previously crowded Nirvana Dao City had now opened up a separate channel, with clear instructions: Nirvana Learning Academy Assessment Channel.
"Wait, are you staying in Jia-73?" Just as Mo Wuji was about to enter the assessment channel, a male cultivator with a pale face stopped him.
This was a guy at the ninth level of the Heavenly God Realm, and judging by his appearance, he should be cultivating a technique with excessive Yin Qi.
"I don't know you." Mo Wuji said calmly, "Please don't waste my time."
The pale-faced man chuckled, "Let me introduce myself, I am Zhuo Chuang from the True God Dao of Nirvana Learning Academy. I'm here to buy a few Life World Pills from you, name your price."
As soon as Mo Wuji saw Zhuo Chuang, he knew that this guy had no intention of buying his Life World Pills at a high price. First, he said that he was from the Nirvana Learning Academy, obviously intending to take advantage of him.
The fact that he possessed Life World Pills must have been leaked by Jin Yongwu. At the same time, Mo Wuji was sure that Jin Yongwu hadn't told this guy that there was a God King expert by his side.
"What Life World Pills? I don't know, get out of the way." Mo Wuji flashed past Zhuo Chuang, not wanting to waste time on this kind of guy. He didn't even bother to find out his background clearly before coming over, just because he knew that he had Life World Pills.
"Very well, let's see how you..." Zhuo Chuang originally wanted to say how Mo Wuji would leave Nirvana Dao City, but after seeing Mo Wuji's movements, he swallowed his words. Mo Wuji actually had a spot to participate in the assessment? Otherwise, how could he enter that special assessment channel?
Zhuo Chuang's eyes flickered a few times, and then he calmed down. If this guy really managed to enter Nirvana Learning Academy, he would have more opportunities to deal with him. If this guy couldn't enter Nirvana Learning Academy, then let him wait for death.
(That's all for today's update, good night friends!)
