Chen Zhou was still searching for the array's core in the same spot. This small array of the Crimson Dragon Array was far more complex than Chen Zhou had imagined; otherwise, the Third Elder wouldn't have chosen it for him.
The main cultivation techniques chosen by the Third Elder were all among the most powerful main cultivation techniques in the Sword Cloud Sect.
Chen Zhou's current skill level in formations is only at the beginner level; he can only set up simple formations like the Small Imprisonment Formation.
Moreover, Chen Zhou learned formations entirely on his own, and even if he went astray, he had to figure it out slowly on his own.
Chen Zhou is currently trapped in an endless loop of not being able to find the array's core, using his pupil technique, then deactivating it. This cycle repeats endlessly.
"How come this thing is even more difficult than the Wind and Cloud Dragon Roar Divine Array Diagram?" Chen Zhou wondered.
Chen Zhou spent far less time learning the Minor Imprisonment Array than he did learning the Crimson Dragon Array Diagram, yet he mastered it in no time.
"Array formations are not divided into easy and difficult. Rather, they are divided into complex and difficult. The more complex the array, the more difficult it is to find the array eye. The Lesser Imprisonment Array is just the simplest array of the Wind and Cloud Dragon Roar Divine Array Diagram. Its complexity is far less than that of the Crimson Dragon Array Diagram. The Crimson Dragon Array Diagram is not very complicated either. It's just that since you are a beginner in array formations and there is no one to guide you, it will naturally be more difficult."
Old Ren couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he finally spoke up.
As a sword spirit, he has had many hosts, including many array masters.
Having been exposed to it from a young age, he naturally learned a lot about formation techniques.
"Elder Ren, do you have any good ideas?" Chen Zhou's personal efforts had failed to find the key to the formation, so he had no choice but to ask Elder Ren for help.
Ren Lao was very comfortable staying in Chen Zhou's mental world, and could be in whatever position he wanted. Right now, he was lying down with his legs crossed, which was extremely comfortable.
"As far as I know, there are many ways to find the array's core. What you've learned is using pupil techniques. Pupil techniques are also divided into different levels, and the pupil technique of the Wind and Cloud Dragon Roar Divine Array Diagram is naturally the most advanced. It's just that you haven't grasped the essence." Old Ren said, shaking his crossed legs.
"How do you comprehend it?" Chen Zhou directly stated the key point.
"That depends on you," said Elder Ren.
Chen Zhou suddenly felt like he was about to be slapped. Wasn't that the same as not saying anything at all?
"Isn't that obvious?" Chen Zhou said helplessly. He had already tried it many times and was starting to feel a little frustrated.
Is the Crimson Dragon Formation Diagram really that difficult to cultivate?
"The reason why array masters are so rare is entirely because it is very difficult for them to learn on their own," Elder Ren continued.
Yes, the Tianyun Continent is so vast, and array masters are always a rare profession. Almost every array master is highly valued by major families and sects.
Therefore, offending a formation master is a major taboo on the Tianyun Continent.
"Since we haven't found the right method yet, let's put it aside for now and get on our way," Ren Lao said, noticing that Chen Zhou was getting impatient.
The biggest taboo in cultivating techniques is impatience. Chen Zhou has failed to succeed after so many attempts, and his mentality is indeed a bit impatient. Continuing to cultivate will only lead to more failures.
So we might as well keep going.
Chen Zhou thought Ren Lao's words made sense, so he packed up briefly and then set off.
Since he was setting off in the middle of the night, Chen Zhou only planned to walk to the entrance of Jianxin Avenue and not go in yet.
Even if he waited until daytime to enter, Chen Zhou wasn't confident he could cross the Path of Heart Mirror at night.
What Chen Zhou didn't know was that there were no road signs on Jianxin Avenue, and he was very likely to unknowingly walk into Jianxin Avenue.
This is a path in a forest, with tall trees on both sides. Now it's dark, and Chen Zhou can barely see the moon.
Because the trees were so tall and had such lush foliage.
Chen Zhou could hardly see the moon through these tree branches; it was almost like walking in complete darkness.
Only a small amount of moonlight shone on the ground, allowing Chen Zhou to barely make out the road ahead.
Chen Zhou had planned to get a good night's rest, but he was too anxious to rest properly, so he decided to continue his journey.
Traveling at night in an ordinary forest like this, there are no spirit beasts to be found.
The Thorn Forest is a natural environment filled with thorns, making it a dangerous place where spirit beasts can roam. However, these are mostly low-level spirit beasts. The Fire Spirit Fox is considered a high-level spirit beast in the Thorn Forest, and should be at the top of the food chain.
Unfortunately, Chen Zhou has caused this group to fall apart, losing its former cohesion. It is unlikely that they will have such a strong dominance over the Thorn Forest in the short term.
"By channeling true energy into the Heavy Edge Sword, it will emit a blue light, enough to provide illumination," Elder Ren said.
"Moreover, channeling true energy into the Heavy Edge Sword can enhance its abilities and strengthen its compatibility with your true energy, thus improving your connection with the Heavy Edge Sword. This will subtly increase your strength and that of the Heavy Edge Sword."
Ren Lao added that no one was more familiar with the Heavy Edge Sword than the sword spirit.
Chen Zhou immediately took out the Heavy Sword and poured his true energy into it. Chen Zhou poured in less true energy and at a slower speed, so that the illumination time could be longer and Chen Zhou would not consume a lot of true energy.
This can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
The blue light emitted by the Heavy Sword illuminated the path ahead, and Chen Zhou did not notice anything different about the road, so he continued walking.
The further Chen Zhou walked, the more he realized something was wrong. He had been walking for more than an hour and still hadn't reached a section of road with any signs.
"Why do I feel like I'm going in circles?" Chen Zhou said anxiously.
He was already impatient from cultivating the Crimson Dragon Formation Diagram, and now, with no end in sight and no change in his surroundings, he became even more anxious.
