When Mu Feng said that he wanted Mu Chen to learn about Spiritual Arrays, it was obvious that he wasn't joking around. Therefore, on the second day, Mu Chen met the Spiritual Array teacher that Mu Feng had found for him.
It was a skinny middle-aged man. He wore a greyish-white robe and there wasn't a trace of a smile on his face. He seemed to be extremely serious. Although he was Mu Feng's subordinate, he wasn't overly respectful or humble when he saw Mu Feng. Instead, he maintained an attitude that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"This is Mister Wen Ling. From now on, he will teach you the most basic knowledge of Spiritual Arrays." Mu Feng pointed at the middle-aged man beside him and smiled at Mu Chen.
"Mu Chen greets Mister Wen Ling." Mu Chen cupped his hands and bowed. He didn't put on any airs of a Young Master and had a humble expression.
The middle-aged man named Wen Ling nodded slightly and didn't say anything.
"You better learn well. Mister Wen Ling is famous for being strict. Although you're my son, if he feels that you don't have the talent, then he won't continue teaching you because of your identity. Do you understand?"
Mu Feng reminded him. Wen Ling was a guest that the Mu Territory had invited. Although he was only a Rank 1 Spiritual Array Master, the number of Spiritual Array Masters in the Mu Territory didn't exceed ten. Wen Ling was already the strongest among them.
Mu Chen nodded. The Northern Spiritual Academy didn't have any Spiritual Array Cultivation courses. They also didn't hire a Spiritual Array Master. Moreover, ordinary people couldn't afford to hire a Spiritual Array Master to teach them. Therefore, this caused the number of Spiritual Array Masters within the Northern Spiritual Realm to be sparse.
Perhaps after entering the "Five Great Academies", he would be able to obtain a more professional Spiritual Array Cultivation. However, within the Northern Spiritual Realm, he could only first lay down his foundation.
"Then you should follow Mister Wen Ling and learn. I'll be going now."
Mu Feng was very reassured about his son. With Mu Chen's maturity, he wouldn't do anything that would anger his teacher to the point of running away. Therefore, Mu Feng left with a peace of mind. Due to the matter with the Jiu You Sparrow, Mu Feng had been quite busy recently. He was constantly monitoring the Liu Territory's movements.
"Mister, please sit."
Seeing Mu Feng leave, Mu Chen smiled towards Wen Ling and said.
Wen Ling nodded and sat down. His serious face glanced at Mu Chen. After a moment of silence, he said, "I heard from Region Lord Mu that you once fought with Ji Zong?"
Mu Chen obviously did not expect Wen Ling to suddenly ask about this. He was stunned for a moment before he nodded.
"Then do you know what formation Ji Zong set up to deal with you?" Wen Ling asked again.
"It should be two Spiritual Arrays. One is the Mesmerizing Array to trap me, and the other is the Spiritual Rain Array to attack me." Mu Chen thought about it and replied.
"It's just two uncomplicated Rank 1 Spiritual Arrays. It seems like Ji Zong is still a little afraid of your father and didn't dare to kill him directly."
Wen Ling said, "From what I know, the strongest array that Ji Zong can arrange should be the" Blood Rain Killing Array ". This is a Rank 2 Spiritual Array. Once it is activated, even a Spiritual Rotation Stage Late Stage would be in a difficult situation."
Mu Chen scratched his head. It seems that he won by luck.
"However, it was not easy for you to break through his two Spiritual Arrays with your current strength."
Wen Ling looked at Mu Chen and nodded slightly. His usually expressionless face actually revealed a hint of appreciation.
"Let's talk about Spiritual Arrays next."
Wen Ling waved his hand and said, "The so-called Spiritual Array, in simple terms, is to use a special method to form a resonance with Spiritual Energy. Thus, it can trigger the Spiritual Aura of the world and achieve an offensive and defensive effect."
"However, it is extremely complicated and difficult to trigger this kind of resonance."
"In some Lower Planes, it is easy to arrange Spiritual Arrays because the energy there is not as thick and complicated as the Great Thousand World. Therefore, from a certain point of view, the Spiritual Arrays of the Great Thousand World are more advanced and complicated than the Spiritual Arrays of the Lower Planes."
Wen Ling stretched out his hand. His palm was especially slender and completely different from his ordinary appearance. Mu Chen stared at his palm and saw Spiritual Energy quickly condensing at his fingertips. In the end, it directly turned into five small and exquisite Spirit Seals. These Spirit Seals looked especially complicated, but they emitted a special fluctuation. Around these five Spirit Seals, it seemed as if the Spiritual Aura of the world was quietly surging.
"These are Spirit Seals. They are indispensable for arranging Spiritual Arrays."
"Spirit Seals?" Mu Chen was startled. It was obvious that he was unfamiliar with them.
"Yes."
Wen Ling nodded his head. With a flick of his finger, the five Spirit Seals left his hand and disappeared like raindrops merging into the sea. However, when these Spirit Seals disappeared, Mu Chen suddenly felt a sudden gust of wind, causing his body to become a little unsteady.
Mu Chen exclaimed in surprise. His eyes narrowed and he vaguely saw that the air in front of him seemed to be slightly distorted. Rays of light that were hard to see with the naked eye interweaved with each other. At the end of these rays of light were the five small Spirit Seals.
"Is this a Spiritual Array?"
Wen Ling nodded his head and said, "This is only a small Spiritual Array. It can't even be called a Rank 1 Spiritual Array."
"Setting up a Spiritual Array requires absolute control over the Spiritual Seals. Any slight fluctuation or strange resonance will cause the array to fail. Sometimes, once the array fails, the user will suffer from the backlash of the Spiritual Energy. If it's more serious, they might not even be able to keep their life, because that kind of failure is akin to losing control of the Spiritual Array you set up, and instead violently attacking you."
"Generally speaking, the more powerful a Spiritual Array is, the more Spirit Seals it requires and the more difficult it is to control them at the same time." Wen Ling said, "I am a Rank 1 Spiritual Array Master. My limit is to control 20 Spirit Seals at the same time. If I control any more, I will lose control. From what I know, Spiritual Array Masters that are above Rank 5 can control hundreds or thousands of Spirit Seals with a wave of their hands. Even a Spirit Stage powerhouse would be annihilated by that kind of power."
Mu Chen secretly clicked his tongue when he heard this.
"Spirit Seals are the foundation of arranging an array. Other than that, there is another indispensable thing."
"What is it?"
"An array diagram!"
Wen Ling said calmly, "The formation of an array is extremely complicated. It is like a huge project. The Spirit Seals are the cornerstone and the channel for infusion. The array diagram is the blueprint. Without this complete blueprint, there is no way to start the project."
Wen Ling reached into his chest and slowly took out an emerald-like jade tube. On top of the tube, there was a faint light flashing, "This is a Rank 1 Array Diagram. It is called the Spiritual Lightning Array."
Mu Chen curiously received it and opened up the Diagram Array. Instantly, rays of light surged into his eyes. On the Diagram Array, there were rays of light that would make one's eyes dizzy. These rays of light intertwined in a complicated manner, forming an Array Diagram that flickered with faint lightning.
"To a Spiritual Array Master, an array diagram is the most attractive thing. Usually, when a high level array diagram appears, it will attract many Spiritual Array Masters to fight for it."
"Array diagrams are the same as Spiritual Array Masters. They are divided into 9 levels. After so many years, the highest level array diagram I have seen is only a Rank 4 Array Diagram."
When Wen Ling talked about the Rank 4 Array Diagram, his serious face was filled with envy and yearning.
"Of course, it is still too early for you to talk about array diagrams now."
Wen Ling stared at Mu Chen and handed over a jade strip to him. He said: "There is a Spiritual Seal cultivation method inside. Try and see if you can cultivate it. From a certain point of view, this is the most basic test for beginners. If you feel that you are clumsy and slow during cultivation, then you can stop. This is because it means that you are not sensitive to Spiritual Seals. In other words, you don't have this talent."
Hearing this, Mu Chen took the jade scroll and did not say anything else. He closed his eyes and accepted the cultivation method for Spirit Seals in the jade scroll.
Mu Chen closed his eyes for almost an hour. Then, he slowly opened his eyes and put down the jade scroll in his hand. His eyes were deep in thought.
The cultivation method for Spirit Seals was similar to the Limitless Death Seal. However, it was not as complicated. Of course, this did not mean that becoming a Spiritual Array Master was easier than cultivating the Limitless Death Seal. After all, the number of Spirit Seals a Spiritual Array Master needed to control far exceeded the number of Limitless Death Seals. Mu Chen could condense two Limitless Death Seals, but what about twenty or even two hundred Spirit Seals?
It was obvious who was more difficult to condense and control.
Mu Chen pondered for a while and finally closed his eyes again. He extended his palm and dark black Spiritual Energy flickered on his fingertips. As the light flickered, he tried to cultivate the Spirit Seals.
On the other hand, Wen Ling stared calmly at Mu Chen, who was attempting to learn the Spiritual Seal. If the latter couldn't even pass the first test, then there was no need for him to continue teaching him. It would only be a waste of their time.
