I Have a Compass for Opportunity

The Star Shining Celestial Array is a mid-stage Foundation Establishment level defensive array that absorbs stellar power as its energy source.

Its complexity is more than ten times that of all the Qi Cultivation arrays arranged by Liou Yuan.

As soon as Liou Yuan’s consciousness plunged into the jade scroll, it was immediately overwhelmed by terrifying information.

The array consists of fifty-three thousand patterns, interconnected and linked with the array disc, forming a perfect array cycle.

Eight array hubs are set inside to provide energy for the array.

There are also requirements for the eyes of the array.

Liou Yuan felt dizzy at just one glance.

"This Foundation Establishment Array is much more difficult compared to Qi Cultivation Array; I’m very likely to fail this time."

He knew it was impossible to inscribe this array disc in a short period.

With his knowledge of arrays, it would take at least half a month to fully comprehend the jade scroll of the Star Shining Celestial Array.

Understanding the operational principles of the Star Shining Celestial Array doesn’t mean he can inscribe its array disc.

The array disc is tightly connected with myriad array veins and fifty-three thousand patterns, and any mistake in inscribing the veins could result in the array failing completely.

To achieve such precision, only Foundation Establishment cultivators with Divine Sense can accomplish it.

This is why Qi Cultivation Realm rarely has Foundation Establishment Array Masters.

Without Divine Sense, it’s simply impossible to inscribe tens of thousands of array patterns on the three-foot array disc with pinpoint accuracy.

Liou Yuan stiffly withdrew his consciousness from the jade scroll, glancing discreetly at Bu Moying beside him.

The latter stood at his side the entire time, not daring to disturb him even a little while he examined the array jade scroll, his cold and solemn face filled with anticipation.

This caused Liou Yuan to swallow back the words of giving up that were on his lips.

He had no choice but to brace himself and say, "Repairing a Foundation Establishment Array is not something that can be done overnight; Sir Bu, please give me some time, I will meditate and study it here."

Previously, it took Zhao Zhuoran and the Foundation Establishment of the Jin Dynasty more than half a month to repair the Foundation Establishment Array of Chouhuai City.

It’s entirely reasonable for him to demand more time.

Bu Moying didn’t expect Liou Yuan to repair the array in a short time, instead finding it understandable after hearing his words.

"It’s certainly true that Foundation Establishment Arrays are no small matter, so it’s a trouble for Mr. Liou."

"While Mr. Liou is meditating and studying, I will not allow anyone to disturb you."

After Bu Moying solemnly clasped his hands towards Liou Yuan, he left.

Only Liou Yuan remained in the valley, holding the array jade scroll, gazing at the stone platform missing an array disc, deep in thought.

"I need to find a way."

Liou Yuan had to admit that the hope of inscribing the array disc was slim.

Fortunately, Liou Yuan had previously given himself a way out, preventing too much embarrassment.

Furthermore, it’s not easy to repair Foundation Establishment Arrays, and Bu Moying was mentally prepared for failure.

The day after Liou Yuan was taken to the Qingxiao Sect, it was time for the shift change, and Tian Qiweng and Xian Fan returned after rotating outside for two days.

Both were pleasantly surprised by the power of Liou Yuan’s Cold River Illusionary Water Array.

Tian Qiweng expressed that with this array in place, unless a Foundation Establishment comes by, anyone below Qi Cultivation cannot silently approach their territory without being trapped inside, giving them enough reaction time.

In this precarious environment, it is simply too comfortable to have such a quiet place to rest.

While praising Liou Yuan’s talent in arrays, they wanted to find Liou Yuan to thank him face to face for his contribution, but Jia Panshan informed them that Liou Yuan had already been invited by Bu Moying of Qingxiao Sect to repair the damaged Foundation Establishment Array.

All present knew little about arrays, and when they heard Liou Yuan had been invited by Bu Moying to repair the Foundation Establishment Array, they were all shocked.

Tian Qiweng even stated that the Wind Chasing Division had found a treasure, and with Liou Yuan on their mission, everyone’s safety could be elevated.

With the presence of an Array Master, countless dangers could be avoided.

There wasn’t a single word blaming Liou Yuan for his absence.

After all, they were sent to assist Qingbao County, and Liou Yuan going to repair the array also helped themselves, no one could find fault.

Tian Qiweng openly disclosed his stance to the team in the courtyard: "Liou Yuan is our precious treasure; it’s better if he doesn’t participate in dangerous missions. An Array Master is more useful than a powerful ally."

"We better not wear out our valuable Array Master, otherwise, the upper levels of the Wind Chasing Division will resent me."

"Once he returns, let him stay in the courtyard to oversee the array, so everyone can rest assured, do you have any objections?"

Everyone naturally agreed.

Thinking back on the previous missions of the Wind Chasing Division, there was never a time they could sleep comfortably.

Before embarking on the Qingbao County mission, the Wind Chasing Division had already prepared for sleepless nights, battling demon cultivators.

With Liou Yuan’s Cold River Illusionary Water Array, everyone could rest peacefully.

To ensure Liou Yuan repairs the array in peace, Tian Qiweng even picked up a long-distance communicator to notify Bu Moying, expressing that the Wind Chasing Division could still manage and urging Liou Yuan to repair the array peacefully.

This action was in line with Liou Yuan’s intentions, allowing him to stay comfortably in the valley.

It was more tranquil than the courtyard in Qingbao County, allowing him to balance his cultivation while meditating on the array.

The Geng Metal Refining Form Skill made daily progress.

Ten days had passed unknowingly.

During this period, Liou Yuan had refined twenty strands of Geng Metal Spiritual Qi, totaling two threads.

As his cultivation progressed, he gradually understood the Star Shining Celestial Array.

Understanding the array doesn’t mean he can arrange it; he is still far from setting up the Foundation Establishment Array.

But the benefit of understanding the Star Shining Celestial Array is that he finally found a viable way to attempt repairing the Foundation Establishment Array during this time.

"The Star Shining Celestial Array has five energy hubs supplying the array with energy and three array discs."

Liou Yuan, holding the jade scroll of the Star Shining Celestial Array, showed a contemplative look.

While speaking, he tilted his head towards the stone platform at the center of the array.

"The stolen array disc is apparent, but there are two more likely hidden by Wei Zongxuan, who set up the array back then."

The purposes and inscribed array veins of the three array discs are naturally different.

Liou Yuan cannot excavate them to fill the missing array disc spot.

Liou Yuan pondered this:

"The three array discs, the one on the stone platform primarily governs the other two discs, connecting the entire array."

"I can’t inscribe an array disc of this level."

"But if I only inscribe the crucial veins, creating a simplified array disc to connect the array and exert a portion of its power, it’s still achievable."

Other Foundation Establishment Arrays certainly cannot be patched in such a manner.

However, this Star Shining Celestial Array has three array discs, missing one, yet the other two remain intact. Using a simplified array disc might reluctantly activate the array’s power.

"Yet the array’s power will undoubtedly be significantly less potent." This is also Liou Yuan’s headache.

The Star Shining Celestial Array is a mid-stage Foundation Establishment array.

If just a simplified array disc is embedded in the core of the array, Liou Yuan estimates that the exerted array power would only be half of its original potency.

"I wonder if the repaired Star Shining Celestial Array can reach the power of an early-stage Foundation Establishment array."

Of course, there is a solution to this issue.

Liou Yuan inherited the array legacy of Han Zhenzi’s "Five Elements Birth and Destruction Array Derivation," possessing methods to enhance the repaired Star Shining Celestial Array’s power.

"This Star Shining Celestial Array belongs to the fire element, even its array eyes use fire element Spiritual Objects."

"I will use the Spirit Wood Profound Void Array to bolster the Star Shining Celestial Array, supplemented by the Cold River Illusionary Water Array to bolster the Spirit Wood Profound Void Array, adhering to the transmission of birth and destruction arrays, with the concept of water generating wood, wood generating fire."

"In this way, the power of the simplified Star Shining Celestial Array can increase, reaching the power of an early-stage Foundation Establishment array isn’t difficult."

Though complex, in practice, it’s simple, as Liou Yuan has mastered the Cold River Illusionary Water Array, and only needs to set up the Spirit Wood Profound Void Array.

The Earth Mother Prison Array, Golden Essence Breaking Mountain Array, Cold River Illusionary Water Array, Spirit Wood Profound Void Array, Flowing Fire Falling Flame Array, these five arrays are the five Peak of Qi Cultivation arrays in "Five Elements Birth and Destruction Array Derivation."

If Liou Yuan can set up all five arrays, interlocking, he can arrange the Foundation Establishment array, "Little Five Elements Array."

Liou Yuan has researched the Spirit Wood Profound Void Array, though not as proficient as the Cold River Illusionary Water Array, given ten days, he can make some headway.
