Having the right mindset doesn't mean everything is smooth sailing.
To put ideas into practice still takes a very long time, and at this moment, Wang Wu has lost interest in constructing the Seven Demon Pill system.
Because this, right now, is the critical point!
To achieve the best effect, he immediately elevated his Level 12 Spiritual Talent to Level 15, which is the maximum growth limit for the Ancient Bear Race bloodline.
Unless Wang Wu's Bloodline Evolution Level breaks through again significantly, he won't be able to improve further.
The advantage of being Level 15 in Spirit Essence is the enhanced sensitivity to Spiritual Qi, both external and internal.
Wang Wu even feels that under the Level 15 Spirit Essence, his Acquired Cultivation System seems to greatly benefit, as he suddenly gained mystical insight into the cultivation of the Ice and Fire Spirit Pill.
If he were to seclude himself now, he'd discover his aptitude in Acquired Spirit Pill cultivation has reached the upper mid-level among Human Race Cultivators.
But he truly disregards this, at least when doing proper work.
Wow, this feeling is exactly what is needed to deploy the revival of the Five Elements Spirit Array.
Wang Wu silently contemplates in his mind, his hands unconsciously start forming seals fluidly, and the Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi within his body resonates as if it's attuning with the structure of the Five Elements Spirit Array, which is forever so formidable.
But soon, he has to halt.
The conditions are inadequate, as if he must operate within the structure of the Five Elements Spirit Array to refine the Five Elements Spirit Pill.
Just like how a doctor can't perform the most complex surgery without an operating table, or a top race car driver is useless when driving a donkey cart.
"Platform!"
"Without this platform, nothing works. And the only thing I can use as a platform now is my Five Demon Pill system."
"I must make a decision, whether to pursue the Seven Demon Pill structure or to overhaul the existing Five Demon Pills."
This has really become an unexpected dead end for him.
He initially wanted to upgrade the Inner Breathing Technique and Blood Qi Circulation refinement method to construct the Seven Demon Pill system, but now it's reverted back.
"I must trust the wisdom of the Human Race! Five Elements Heaven Repair, this concept is formidable. So let's decide on borrowing from the Human Race to construct the Five Elements Demon Pill System!"
Wang Wu quickly makes a decision, yes, this is to learn from the strengths of others and use them for oneself!
Since now the Five Demon Pills are treated as the foundation of the Five Elements Spirit Array, the next steps become simple.
Because he truly understands the pattern of Spiritual Qi changes within the Five Elements Spirit Array.
Although he's never deployed the Five Elements Spirit Array, nor knows how to deploy it, or the materials science, molecular science, topology, these complex things.
But he just needs to remember the Spiritual Qi changes during the operation of the Five Elements Spirit Array.
Ultimately, the operation of the Five Elements Spirit Array is nothing but guiding Spiritual Qi to change along a predetermined path!
And this is not a vague sense like a blind man touching an elephant, but directly settling the formulas, grasping the inner principles, as if simulating data in a wind tunnel.
How to blow doesn't matter, how to build the wind tunnel has nothing to do with me, I just got the data.
The Qi Blood within Wang Wu's body is gradually mobilized, previously always circulating in a fixed ring pattern, but now under his exploratory guidance, it's undergoing minor adjustments.
These minor adjustments cannot last; once abandoned, they revert.
Therefore, a kind of line stake is needed to bind the adjusted Qi Blood on it, as if wiring Qi Blood electric lines here.
This actually is also a crucial step in array formation, where altering the real material environment changes the strength and direction of the energy field.
Back home on Earth, don't we need high-voltage lines and transformers to transmit current, and substations to change voltage strength? Who says that's not an array? Who says an electrician isn't an electrical system array formation engineer?
Of course, the precision of Wang Wu's minor adjustments is heavenly.
Moreover, it's not just precision, but also the underlying logic; the operation core of the Five Elements Spirit Array must be reflected.
This is an extremely exquisite structure, hard to directly describe, but Wang Wu has a cheat-like Spiritual Essence sensing, so he can directly aim.
The 'line stake' Wang Wu uses at this moment is the five Demon Pills, first forming an internal micro-circulation through the Demon Pills, then the adjusted Qi Blood threads are fixed on the Demon Pills.
When the number of adjusted Qi Blood threads reaches a certain degree, forming a matrix unit, he'll attempt to refine the overall tone.
It's about confirming whether the resonance of these Qi Blood threads plus the current Demon Pills matches the Spiritual Qi variation range?
If unsuitable, then change, add, or reduce.
This is actually a very clumsy but practical approach, continually experimenting until finding the most suitable set.
It's likely that Human Race Cultivators would shake their heads if they saw this, what is this, a brute force way to break through in cultivation?
But Wang Wu indeed persists, able to test fifty groups every day, enjoying it.
Under his Level 15 Spirit Essence reference sensing, the Qi Blood thread matrix unit he arranges increasingly approaches the correct solution.
Until the final resonance 'tuning' matched the true 'tuning' of the Five Elements Spirit Array, he immediately recorded this Qi Blood silky matrix unit and increased the Qi Blood injection.
Originally, each Qi Blood filament line was incredibly thin. Now, they were directly strengthened and thickened by ten times. The testing continued until a precise, accurate, durable, and quality-uncompromising standard was found.
However, this was just one matrix unit. Wang Wu took a month to figure it out.
To fully replicate the Five Elements Spirit Array at Jade Mountain Manor, a million matrix units were required.
Fortunately, many of these matrix units were interchangeable.
For instance, the matrix unit Wang Wu managed to replicate in a month could cover approximately one-tenth of the Five Elements Spirit Array.
So, optimistically estimated, in ten years, he would see the dawn of victory.
"Damn, I forgot to collect the Spiritual Qi this month."
Amidst his joy, Wang Wu suddenly thought of this matter, as he still had an income of 500,000 points of Spiritual Qi every day.
He hurriedly emerged from the rock crevice, heading straight for Snow Wolf Valley— a small valley he named after General Xuelang—where he had also placed the Mountain Patrol Seal.
When in seclusion, how could one handle being constantly pestered with messages?
However, upon arriving there, Wang Wu discovered that Xiong Shiliu was the first to break free from the petrification state. It stood dazedly in front of General Xuelang's petrified body, lost in thought.
Casually retrieving the Mountain Patrol Seal, Xiong Shiliu turned around. Upon seeing him, its eyes exhibited a moment of confusion and doubt but soon it forced a bitter smile.
"Xiong Wu, is it you?"
"You're rather clever; yes, it's me." Wang Wu smiled. He recalled the time he went to the Black Forest with Xiong Shiliu and the others, back when he hadn't yet mastered the Transformation Dao. His current visage was something he had randomly crafted not long ago.
"I never thought, after over fifty years apart, so much could change. Looking back, how naive we were back then. How have you been all these years?"
Xiong Shiliu was quite sentimental. Although its transformed appearance was rather impressive, the aging and despair were unmistakable.
This was caused by long-term fear combined with external and internal torments; it had utterly lost its spirit.
Indeed, posing as a Fake Xiong Wu in the West Wilderness, compelled to commit grave misdeeds, it lost its former heroic demeanor long ago.
Being a tool bear, what's the point of having self-identity? How could it dare to possess any self-identity?
Wang Wu did not respond, he merely stepped forward to check on the petrification status of Yuan Bupu, Wolf Bu'er, Old Niu, and Little Pig; fortunately, they seemed to be okay, likely to break free of petrification soon.
"This is the Southern Wilderness, very safe. The restrictions on you have been lifted, so there is no need to worry about any aftereffects. Beneath the Celestial First-Grade Lifebound Demon Soldiers, nothing in this world is unbreakable."
"This mountain forest is my fiefdom, spanning five hundred miles. Once they awaken, you all can discuss among yourselves. Let me know which mountain you fancy, and you can cultivate there."
As he spoke, Wang Wu used the Mountain Patrol Seal on Xiong Shiliu, imprinting a mark that fused into its body.
This was their identification. Without it, one could hardly take a step, even in this vast forest.
The Southern Wilderness Demon Race managed this strictly and rigorously to prevent Human Race, particularly Spirit Beasts, infiltration!
If there was any Demon beast of unknown origin, it would be executed without mercy!
Thankfully, Xiong Shiliu and the others were made to impersonate Xiong Wu and commit vile acts; hence they were not Spirit Beasts, otherwise, even Wang Wu couldn't save them.
Upon hearing Wang Wu's words, Xiong Shiliu's lips twitched as if wanting to speak but ultimately said nothing, instead, heavily kneeling to accept orders and express gratitude.
The past cannot compare to the present; trying to rely on past identity would be truly unwise.
For it, this outcome was already a dream come true.
Just then, Wang Wu suddenly felt a notion in his heart. The Companion Demon Vine that had been dormant for several months had finally awakened. Upon waking, without even greeting, it swiftly shot a slender vine, landing on the closest Yuan Bupu, instantly absorbing all the petrification stone marrow from its body.
Next, the vine rapidly released Wolf Bu'er, Old Niu, Little Pig, and Niu Xiaocao from their seals—it acted with utter abandon.
Indeed, this time upon advancing, it directly reached Third-Grade Demon Vine; not only did its blood volume significantly increase, but it also gained a petrification talent.
Once petrified, it could directly increase Level 1 Concealment, simultaneously immobilizing a target or providing passive defense for allies—it's quite useful.
The most crucial aspect now was that the Companion Demon Vine could provide Wang Wu with a passive immunity of 200,000 damage points at once.
Counting the Level 6 Golden Body and the twenty-layered Ice and Fire Shield provided by two Third-Grade Innate Defense Treasures, Wang Wu could now withstand a total of 660,000 damage points instantaneously.
Pretty impressive.
"Mother!"
"I'm sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so obstinately reckless; it's all my fault for harming you!"
A heart-wrenching voice sounded; it was Wolf Bu'er. Clutching General Xuelang's petrified body, it wailed.
Then, turning in anguish, it roared angrily at Xiong Shiliu!
"Xiong Shiliu, how can you still have the face to live? Give back my mother's life! You ruined my mother, my Snow Wolf Race! I will kill you!"
