NTR: Choice Based System-Chapter 234: Creating First Array

The concepts of energy flow, conduits, and patterns began to click into place.

He visualized the flow of Qi as described in the text, imagining the intricate pathways within a simple array.

He saw the hand gestures Elder Zhao had demonstrated, the incantations he had spoken, and how they related to the diagrams in the book.

The first few pages, which had previously taken him hours to decipher, now flowed smoothly.

He understood the basic principles behind creating a simple energy-gathering array, the way the lines and symbols acted as conduits and regulators for spiritual energy.

He even began to see the flaws in some of the examples, small inefficiencies in the design that he felt he could improve upon.

He spent hours in the library, completely absorbed in the text. He moved on to the next chapter, which dealt with defensive arrays.

He meticulously studied the diagrams, tracing the flow of energy with his finger. He visualized the array forming a protective shield, deflecting incoming attacks.

He remembered Elder Zhao's explanation of how different materials could enhance or alter the properties of an array, and he wondered how different stones or crystals might affect a defensive formation.

The library's closing bell startled him. He looked up, surprised to see that the moon had already climbed high in the night sky.

He hadn't even noticed the passage of time. He closed the book, a feeling of quiet satisfaction washing over him.

He still had much to learn, but for the first time, he felt like he was truly making progress.

The jumbled scribbles were starting to become a language, a language he was beginning to understand.

As he walked back to his quarters, Ye Yang's mind was already racing with ideas. He thought about the Qi-gathering array he had read about.

He wanted to try creating one himself, to see if he could make it work. He knew it would be a long and difficult process, but he was eager to put his newfound knowledge to the test.

Over the next five weeks, Ye Yang dedicated himself to studying array arts.

He spent countless hours in the library, devouring every text he could find.

He practiced the hand gestures and incantations until they became second nature. He visualized the flow of energy within different arrays, trying to understand the intricate patterns and their effects.

He learned about the fundamental components of arrays: the core, which determined the array's primary function; the conduits, which guided the flow of energy; and the catalysts, which amplified or modified the energy.

He discovered that arrays could be used for a wide range of purposes, from simple energy gathering and defense to complex illusions, teleportation, and even manipulating the very fabric of space and time.

He understood that the basic arrays formed the foundation for all more complex designs.

Without a solid grasp of the fundamentals, he would never be able to progress to the higher levels of array mastery.

Finally, the day came when Ye Yang felt ready to attempt his first array. He chose a simple Qi-gathering array, the most basic type, designed to draw in and concentrate spiritual energy.

He gathered the necessary materials: a few smooth stones, some cinnabar for drawing the lines, and a quiet space in his quarters.

He carefully arranged the stones according to the diagram in the book, ensuring that they were precisely placed.

He mixed the cinnabar with water to create a viscous paste.

Then, taking a deep breath, he began to draw the lines, meticulously following the pattern. He chanted the incantation, his voice low and focused, visualizing the flow of energy as he worked.

The process took much longer than he had anticipated. He had to stop several times to correct mistakes, to redraw lines, and to refocus his concentration.

He found that visualizing the energy flow while physically drawing the array was much more challenging than he had imagined. His hand cramped, his eyes grew tired, and his patience was tested.

But he persevered, driven by his desire to succeed.

Finally, after hours of painstaking effort, the array was complete. It was a simple design, but it was his own creation.

He stepped back, his heart pounding with anticipation. He took another deep breath and activated the array.

For a moment, nothing seemed to happen. Then, slowly, Ye Yang began to feel a subtle shift in the air around him.

He could sense the spiritual energy in the room converging towards the array, drawn in by its intricate design.

A faint, warm glow emanated from the stones. It wasn't a spectacular display, but it was real. He had done it. He had created his first array.

A wave of exhaustion washed over him, but it was quickly followed by an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.

He had taken the first step on a long and challenging path, but he had proven to himself that he was capable of mastering the art of arrays.

Just as he was basking in the glow of his success, a powerful aura descended upon his quarters.

It was a familiar aura, one that made his heart swell with respect and gratitude. It was his master, the Saint Sword God.

The door to his quarters swung open, and the Sword God entered, a gentle smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Ye Yang," he said, his voice resonating with warmth and pride. "I sensed the activation of your array. A Qi-gathering array, if I'm not mistaken. A fine first attempt."

Ye Yang bowed deeply. "Thank you, Master. I still have much to learn."

The Sword God chuckled. "Indeed, you do. But you have taken the first and most important step. Many spend years studying array theory without ever daring to put their knowledge to the test. You have shown courage and determination."

He reached into his robes and pulled out a small, intricately carved jade stone. "I came across this some time ago," he said, handing the stone to Ye Yang. "I thought it might be of use to you."

Ye Yang took the stone, his fingers tracing the delicate carvings. "Thank you, Master," he said, his voice filled with gratitude.

"Don't thank me yet," the Sword God said with a twinkle in his eye. "This jade contains a wealth of information on arrays, from the most basic to some quite advanced. It's a… compilation of knowledge I've gathered over the years. Consider it a gift, a tool to aid you on your path."

Ye Yang's heart skipped a beat. He knew that his master's knowledge of arrays was vast and profound. To have access to even a fraction of that knowledge was an incredible opportunity.

He thanked his master again, his voice choked with emotion. The Sword God smiled and nodded, then with a final word of encouragement, he departed.

Ye Yang immediately began to explore the jade stone.

He discovered that it contained not just diagrams and explanations, but also simulations and interactive exercises that allowed him to practice creating and manipulating arrays in a virtual environment.

He found four basic arrays detailed within the stone that particularly caught his eye.

The Amplification Array: This array focused on enhancing the power of existing energies, whether it be spiritual energy, elemental forces, or even physical strength.

It could be used to amplify the power of a martial technique, making it significantly more potent.

The Illusionary Array: This array created illusions, tricking the senses of those caught within its range.

The illusions could range from simple distractions to incredibly realistic simulations of people, places, or events.

The Binding Array: This array was designed to restrict movement or energy flow.

It could be used to trap opponents, to seal off areas, or even to suppress the powers of a cultivator.

The Restoration Array: This array focused on healing and restoration.

It could accelerate the body's natural healing processes, mend injuries, and even revitalize depleted spiritual energy.

Ye Yang, eager to test his understanding, began with the Amplification Array. He studied the diagram carefully, paying close attention to the flow of energy and the placement of the conduits.

He then used the jade's simulation function to practice creating the array in the virtual world. He experimented with different configurations, trying to optimize the array's performance.

After several days of practice, he felt confident enough to attempt creating the array in reality.
