Immortality Starts From Making Money.-Chapter 346: The Array Formation That Changes Everything.
The Serpent Queen regarded the little human before her with deep interest. She watched him work with intense concentration.
He mumbled some inaudible words to himself as he set up an array formation.
[You’re about to buy the Six-Paths Perception Lock Array.]
[Cost: 100,000 IP]
[Yes | No]
Without hesitation, Mo Jian clicked yes in his mind. Instantly, one hundred thousand influence points were deducted from his savings.
But his mind was not on that as he closed his eyes.
Streams of information rushed into his mind. If he had been a Core Refining Warrior, he would have lost consciousness under such a heavy information flow.
"Why did he stop working on his array?" the Serpent Queen wondered, a flicker of confusion appearing in her serpentine eyes.
"Is he under enlightenment?"
Enlightenment was a rare thing that only a select few were lucky to have. Both beasts and humans hoped to receive enlightenment, but it was difficult to obtain.
A single enlightenment could shorten decades, even centuries, of work into mere seconds.
Looking at the human who seemed to be under enlightenment, she could not help but feel jealous.
If she could achieve such an epiphany, her strength would increase greatly, and she wouldn’t have to fear those in the core zone.
Alas...
Unbeknownst to the Serpent Queen, Mo Jian opened his eyes with a look of realization.
He had tried to rely on himself to create a perfect Soul Sense Isolation Array but had failed repeatedly.
It was not that he could not create it, but that his foundation was not deep enough. On the continent, the highest array masters were merely Tier-2.
Early Tier-3 array formations found in the ancient forces in the central region were remnants left from ancient times.
The complete inheritance for Tier-3 arrays and above had long been lost. If not for the system, Mo Jian would not have been able to push his knowledge of array formation to Peak Tier-3.
With the knowledge of a Peak Tier-3 Array Master, he thought he could make a Tier-4, but he was wrong.
Tier-4 arrays were vastly more complicated than others. It was as if he were stepping into another realm altogether.
Although he had failed, with the knowledge imparted by the system, his method was not wrong. It would just take him years or decades to completely set up a working Soul Sense Isolation Array.
"Kid, you’re lucky to have an epiphany at such a young age," the Serpent Queen said, not hiding her jealousy.
Hmm?
Mo Jian furrowed his brows.
Confused.
What epiphany?
Then it dawned on him. When he had received the streams of information from the system, it looked as though he were under an epiphany.
"Senior, I’m just lucky," Mo Jian replied with a faint smile.
Since she had assumed it was an epiphany, he did not correct her. That would make things easier for him.
"Senior, do you know where I can find the Ripple-Whisker Carp?" Mo Jian asked.
To set up the Six-Paths Perception Lock Array, the Ripple-Whisker Carp was the most important ingredient that could never be replaced.
When the Serpent Queen heard this, she looked at Mo Jian with slight confusion.
"Why do you need the Ripple-Whisker Carp?"
The Ripple-Whisker Carp was not a strong beast among the beast races. They are fish that live in swampy zones, and their lifespan is short.
The strongest among them could barely become a Tier-2 beast.
"Senior, I need their blood for my array to work," Mo Jian replied.
Mo Jian would not have known about such peculiar fish if not for the information he obtained from the system.
Ripple-Whisker Carps were peculiar. They were one of the weakest among the beasts, yet their survival ability was extremely high.
They did not possess any attacking ability, but their strong perception enabled them to detect danger hundreds of meters away before it happened.
And it was because of their keen spiritual perception that their bodies were weak and their lifespans limited.
"If you need them, I can have my children catch a few for you," the Serpent Queen offered calmly.
"Thank you, Senior," Mo Jian replied, bowing lightly.
Although he commanded his people to hunt Ripple-Whisker Carps, that would have delayed him.
Before the time to burn an incense stick, Mo Jian heard a subtle sound coming from the surface.
"They are outside. Go and fetch them," the Serpent Queen announced.
Mo Jian nodded and quickly went to retrieve the Ripple-Whisker Carps. With the carps in hand, he began to process them, draining their blood into a special jade box.
With the Ripple-Whisker Carp blood, he began to engrave the Six-Paths Perception Lock Array.
The blood was mixed with all the materials necessary to set up the array.
The process was slow and exhausting, but Mo Jian persisted. Everything depended on the Six-Paths Perception Lock Array.
Without it, their dream of escaping the continent would be a pipe dream.
For four hours, Mo Jian did not break his concentration as he engraved the array formation.
His clothes were drenched in cold sweat, and he was mentally exhausted.
"Finally, I’m done," he muttered, taking a deep breath.
"Are you done?" the Serpent Queen asked, her voice filled with eager anticipation. She was curious and wanted to know what this human boy had been working on for the past hours.
"Yes, Senior," he replied, a smile brightening his face.
"Quick. Test it and let this queen see its ability," she urged.
Mo Jian nodded and activated the Six-Paths Perception Lock Array.
Instantly, the array lit up, releasing a blueish shimmering light.
But that was not the main point: Mo Jian disappeared from the Serpent Queen’s view.
Hmm?
She raised her massive serpentine head and searched the space where Mo Jian had stood before activating the array. She stared intently but could not find any trace of him.
"Interesting..." she whispered, a hint of awe in her voice.
Without hesitation, she unleashed her formidable soul sense, scanning every inch of the caravan.
Yet Mo Jian was nowhere to be found.
"It is as if he does not exist," she exclaimed, her face etched with human shock.
"Senior, what do you think of the array?" Mo Jian reappeared before the Serpent Queen with a pleased expression.
His words hung in the air, charged with quiet triumph and a new horizon of possibilities.
