Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master - Chapter 1283 - 498: Array Master!
Chapter 1283: Chapter 498: Array Master!
No longer scattered formations, but a complete system.
No longer isolated techniques, but a deep understanding.
No longer “how to form arrays”, but “why form arrays this way”.
He felt as if he were in an endless void. In the void, countless array patterns flowed, countless formations operated, each formation showcasing its mysteries to him.
The Five Elements Array said: I form arrays like this because of the generating and overcoming relationships between the Five Elements.
The Nine Palace Formation said: I form arrays like this, enabling the Nine Palaces to echo one another.
The Illusion Array said: I form arrays like this to create a blur between reality and illusion.
The Spirit Gathering Array said: I form arrays like this to make the flow of spiritual energy smoother and more concentrated.
…
Formation after formation, voice after voice, echoed in the void.
Ning Zhuo grasped a truth—the path of formations is not about “form”, but about “principle”.
The form of the Spirit Gathering Array can change endlessly, but its principle is singular—to gather spiritual energy.
The form of the Confining Array can be diverse, but its principle is singular—to trap the intruder.
The form of the killing formation can be peculiar, but its principle is singular—to harm the enemy.
Seemingly redundant words, but in fact, it’s a return to truth.
Once the principle is mastered, the form can be as one desires.
And this is what Master Level is about.
Ning Zhuo suddenly opened his eyes, a brilliant light flashed and vanished in his gaze.
The next moment, he stretched out his hand, painting in the void.
Without an array base, array materials, spirit stones, or any array forming items, he simply sketched lightly in the air with his finger, merely consuming his divine sense and mana.
One breath later, a Spirit Gathering Array took shape.
The spiritual energy around slowly gathered towards Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo smiled lightly and drew another stroke with his finger.
The Spirit Gathering Array instantly transformed, the array eye shifted, array lines reorganized, array pillars reconstructed—in the blink of an eye, it became a Confining Array.
He drew another stroke.
The Confining Array transformed again, becoming a killing formation.
Another stroke, the killing formation became an Illusion Array.
Another stroke, the Illusion Array became a Defensive Array…
In just over ten breaths of time, he transformed seven formations in the void.
Sun Lingtong, who was guarding Ning Zhuo, witnessed this scene and immediately showed intense delight.
Ning Zhuo fully inherited his realm in Array Dao, but just having this couldn’t achieve what Ning Zhuo did at that moment. Because this was practical application.
Gaining the realm is not enough; one needs a massive amount of practice to reach this level.
Ning Zhuo’s situation is quite special.
Because he had previously absorbed the life experiences and cultivation memories of three waves of Demon Cultivators. So he used the vast amount of “practical” experience from others immediately.
Using the void as paper, spiritual energy as ink, and divine sense as a pen, Ning Zhuo can now form arrays out of thin air!
Ning Zhuo withdrew his hand, and the array patterns in the void slowly dissipated.
He sat quietly, feeling his entirely new realm in Array Dao.
Craftsman Level is when practice makes skill.
Master Level is originality.
Master Level is when Dao charm begins to show!
Three levels, three different feelings, each distinct.
At Craftsman Level, he felt as if he had become a precise mechanism; as long as instructions were input, he could accomplish tasks accurately. Standard formations, in his hands, were like standard components, which could be assembled or disassembled at will.
At Master Level, he felt as if he had become a sincere artisan, beginning to pursue better creations. He was no longer satisfied with “usable”, but pursued “user-friendly”; no longer satisfied with “standard”, but pursued “unique”. For each formation, he wanted it to bear his own mark.
At Master Level, he felt as if he had become an artist, starting to touch the “Dao” behind formations. He no longer thought about “how to form arrays”, but “why form arrays this way”. In his eyes, formations were no longer cold lines and structures, but seemed to have gained life or a soul.
Array Master!
Overnight, Ning Zhuo’s accumulation in array formation soared to become the leader among the four great arts.
Alchemy Craftsman Level, Talisman Making Craftsman Level, Refining Master Level, Array Master Level!
