Soon, under Lu Qianqian's guidance, Zhou Hong and others arrived at the Spirit Gathering Array.
"Instructor Lu, bringing students to tour the Spirit Gathering Array?" When they reached the tower, a staff member guarding it seemed to recognize Lu Qianqian and greeted her.
"Senior Old Wolf, I'm not bringing students for a tour. I want to purchase two cultivation resource cycles."
"Not bad, you've earned twenty thousand class points just a few days after school started."
"Just luck. Please process it quickly for me." Su Dan Fiction Network
"Alright."
A few minutes later, the guard at the tower finished the process.
"Now all students can enter. Once inside, find a spot and sit down to cultivate. You'll be notified when your time is up," Lu Qianqian said to all the students of Class 30.
"Yes, Instructor."
One by one, the students of Class 30 entered the first level of the Spirit Gathering Array through the small door of the tower.
As Zhou Hong passed through the small door, his vision suddenly broadened, as if he had entered another world.
It seemed like a tower from the outside, but upon entering, it revealed a different realm within.
"Wow, the spiritual energy here feels incredibly dense," some students exclaimed in amazement, sensing the spiritual energy in the air.
Zhou Hong felt it too. Without a word, he immediately found a large rock, sat down, and began his six-day cultivation.
The saying that six days is equivalent to six months doesn't mean time is longer inside, but rather that the spiritual energy absorbed in these six days is equal to the total amount absorbed in six months outside.
Therefore, wasting even a minute would mean missing out on a significant amount of spiritual energy absorption.
Just then, the Dark Golden Crow in Zhou Hong's mind suddenly spoke, "Zhou Hong, someone wants to say hello to you."
"Who?" Zhou Hong was puzzled.
"Who do you think? This Spirit Gathering Array has a soul. I discovered its array spirit as soon as I walked in, and then I spoke a word to it, and it started greeting me. It also said it was bored and couldn't find anyone to talk to."
"Ah," Zhou Hong was slightly taken aback.
"Do you want to say a few words to it?"
"Sure."
The next second, a voice, neither male nor female, echoed in Zhou Hong's ears: "Hello, I am the array spirit of the Spirit Gathering Array."
"Hello," Zhou Hong responded mentally. Although Zhou Hong couldn't sense the array spirit, the Dark Golden Crow could relay his response.
"I'm so happy. I didn't expect to find someone to chat with," the array spirit of the Spirit Gathering Array said.
"You're the soul of this Spirit Gathering Array, right?"
"Yes, I am a Heaven-grade artifact that has gained self-awareness. It's a pity that I've never had anyone to talk to. I didn't expect the senior on you just now to discover me so quickly."
"Oh, oh," Zhou Hong nodded, surprised that this Spirit Gathering Array was a Heaven-grade artifact.
"You say you're a Heaven-grade artifact, so does that mean anyone can take you by dripping a drop of blood on you?" Zhou Hong quickly asked.
"How is that possible? The founder of Taigu Academy has refined me. I cannot be taken by anyone. I have been in Taigu Academy for tens of thousands of years."
"Alright," Zhou Hong gave a wry smile. If a drop of blood could take him, Zhou Hong might have come in the dead of night and directly taken him into his sub-world.
"Then, will you come and keep me company in the future? It's too boring when no one talks to me."
Zhou Hong said, "I'd like to, but you can't just enter whenever you want."
"Is that so? That's a shame."
"Alright, I won't talk to you any longer. This is a rare opportunity to come in, so I need to absorb as much spiritual energy as possible here. The spiritual energy here is much denser than outside."
"That's for sure. My purpose is to absorb spiritual energy and gather it here. By the way, do you want to learn array formation techniques?"
"Array formations?" Zhou Hong frowned slightly. He had read some ancient books before, and in his impression, array formations were lost arts, with almost no one knowing how to use them.
"Yes, array formations are truly invincible. My previous master was a genius in array formations. Later, he ascended to the immortal realm, and I was left behind by him. I still miss him dearly, but alas, I will never see him again in this lifetime." The array spirit of the Spirit Gathering Array sounded a little sad.
"If you want to see him, you can only ascend to the immortal realm."
"However, I can't find anyone. You are the only cultivator who can communicate with me spiritually. I want to give you a great gift. If you can learn array formation techniques, you might not need to enter the Spirit Gathering Array in the future. You can set up a small array yourself outside to draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Not only that, but you can also use array formations to deal with enemies. I have many array formation techniques here, such as the Gravity Array, Deceleration Array, Vertigo Array, Bewildering Array, and so on. Do you want to learn?"
"Yes!" Zhou Hong was suddenly excited.
"My previous master, relying solely on array formation techniques, swept across the world. He didn't need to cultivate any other techniques or use any artifacts. With array formations in hand, he was invincible."
Zhou Hong was extremely excited, never expecting such a fortuitous encounter by entering the Spirit Gathering Array.
"Who was your previous master? Did he research these array formations himself?"
"How could that be? My previous master also stumbled upon an ancient extraordinary book by chance and taught himself to mastery."
"An ancient extraordinary book? What ancient extraordinary book?" Zhou Hong asked with confusion.
"I don't know. That ancient extraordinary book was called 'The Great Ximen Array'."
"Oh, oh, I presume it was created by someone named Ximen."
"However, it's a pity that I can't fully remember the information from the Great Ximen Array book. I only remember a small portion."
"It doesn't matter, then teach me quickly."
"Okay."
And so, Zhou Hong began learning array formations in his mind.
As for absorbing spiritual energy for cultivation, he had long since put it aside.
It had to be said that Zhou Hong's talent in array formations was somewhat invincible.
In less than two hours, Zhou Hong had basically grasped the fundamental knowledge of array formations.
"Zhou Hong, I didn't expect your comprehension of array formations to be so high. You're much better than my previous master."
"Really? Hehe," Zhou Hong chuckled gleefully.
"I'm not lying to you. My previous master was a genius in array formations, but you are even more of a genius than him."
"I just found it very simple. I learned it without much effort," Zhou Hong said with self-admiration.
"Now that you have mastered the basics of array formations, let's officially start learning about the Spirit Gathering Array. In the future, you can also set up a small-scale Spirit Gathering Array outside."
