Buzz buzz buzz...

The sound of intense spiritual power vibrations was heard.

Soon after, array spiritual light rose.

Slowly, threads and streams of heaven and earth spiritual qi gathered together, and started to gradually enhance the spiritual qi within the array’s range.

Half an hour later.

At the center of the Small Spirit Gathering Array, the concentration of spiritual qi reached its peak.

"The concentration of spiritual qi increased by fifty percent."

After Zhou Changwang silently contemplated for a moment, he quickly came to this conclusion.

In his heart, he felt a bit of joy.

If the spiritual qi concentration in the marketplace’s outskirts was ’1,’ then the spiritual qi concentration in his backyard’s spirit field was ’2,’ an increase of fifty percent, meaning the concentration in this area had reached ’3.’

But it was already no weaker than the concentration of spiritual qi in his cultivation secret room.

And most importantly.

If he were to place this small spirit gathering array around his cultivation secret room...

"Wouldn’t it mean that the concentration of spiritual qi in my cultivation secret room could directly increase from ’3’ to ’4.5’?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Changwang’s heart burned with excitement.

Such a concentration of spiritual qi already surpassed that of Insect King Xue Tong Manor’s cultivation secret room.

With this in mind, Zhou Changwang could no longer sit still.

Just in time for noon, after having lunch, he headed straight to the cultivation secret room to carefully survey it.

He discovered that setting up an array here was much more difficult than in the backyard.

Because of the constraints of the house and space, this array had to either be very small to fit perfectly within the cultivation secret room, or large enough to encompass the entire room.

Doing small was said to be harder than doing large.

To do small, with his current array dao cultivation, he simply couldn’t manage it.

And doing large required significantly more array flag materials.

Moreover, each array flag needed to be embedded with a spirit stone, otherwise the array couldn’t be activated, and spirit stones were constantly needed to maintain it once activated.

For example, the small spirit gathering array in the backyard, when activated for half an hour, consumed at least ten percent of the spirit stone in each of the thirty-six array flags.

In other words, this array, when activated, could only be maintained for two to three hours before the spiritual qi would be exhausted.

"However, the higher the concentration of spiritual qi, the higher the cultivation efficiency and conversion efficiency.

In comparison, it’s still worth it."

Zhou Changwang thought quietly and quickly made a decision.

To expand the array’s range, with Zhou Changwang’s array dao cultivation, he could only proportionally enlarge it.

Therefore, while setting the array center in the cultivation secret room, he also enlarged the array’s range, increasing the required array flags from thirty-six to seventy-two.

Having succeeded once before, Zhou Changwang felt much more at ease during the second setup.

Two hours later, with the final array flag in place.

Zhou Changwang quickly activated it.

Rumble!

Instantly, array spiritual light flickered.

Under the Spirit Eye Technique, Zhou Changwang clearly saw the heaven and earth spiritual qi within tens of zhang rushing rapidly towards his cultivation secret room.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

One incense stick, two incense sticks, three incense sticks...

Every moment, Zhou Changwang could feel the spiritual qi in the cultivation secret room slowly increasing.

Until after the third incense stick, the spiritual qi concentration in the cultivation secret room reached its peak, no longer increasing, but not diminishing either.

The spiritual qi was in a state of saturation, if the concentration decreased, the outside spiritual qi would fill in, if too much, it would disperse.

"Indeed.

The concentration of spiritual qi increased significantly, by as much as fifty percent.

In other words, the concentration of spiritual qi in my cultivation secret room has subsequently become ’4.5’."

Zhou Changwang couldn’t care less about the spiritual qi in the spirit stones continuously being consumed by the array, and quickly sat cross-legged to start cultivating.

Soon, the perfection level Five Elements Technique rapidly began operating.

A vast amount of heaven and earth spiritual qi was absorbed into his body, then continuously transformed by his cultivation technique, turning into his own spiritual power.

Thus, after three circulations.

Zhou Changwang opened his eyes, joy even more apparent on his face.
