"Learning the illusion array shouldn't be too difficult; the 'Enchantment God Seal' talent itself originates from the ability of the Enchanting Immortal Fox, which is fundamentally based on illusion techniques."

"Moreover, the 'Hundred Eyes Demon Realm' is also considered an illusion technique talent, so I should have some talent in learning the illusion array."

The illusion array is a very important aspect when creating a private territory; only by making it indistinguishable from the real can one deceive others.

It's essential to ensure that ordinary animals and beasts, as well as cultivators, feel nothing unusual when they come into contact.

Fortunately, Qi Ping has two animal companions skilled in illusion techniques by his side, who can help patch up any gaps in the setup of the illusion array.

"Outside of the illusion array, there's the aura concealing array."

"According to the description in the secret manual, setting up an aura concealing array is relatively easier, but if you want to set up a very powerful one, you'll need to study diligently."

Qi Ping has cultivated two techniques, the Breath Concealment Technique and the Fetal Breathing Technique, gaining some insights into aura concealing, along with the fact that aura concealing arrays generally aren't very difficult to set up.

Therefore, Qi Ping is quite confident in setting up this type of array, as long as it doesn't involve profound concealment arrays.

"So, once I've completed the cultivation of these two arrays and wait for the Druid to advance to Tier Five as a Tree Shepherd, I can choose a location to set up my private territory. I can let the bee swarm start searching for the area..."

With this in mind, Qi Ping immediately commanded the bee swarm to send out a group of bees to scout the Cloud Mist Mountain Range for a place.

"Buzz buzz... (Okay, boss! We guarantee to complete the task!)"

After this arrangement, Qi Ping refocused his attention on learning arrays.

"With an illusion array and a concealing array set up, the defense and attack arrays can come gradually; anyway, with the bee swarm guarding the spiritual land, safety is basically guaranteed as long as we're not found."

"Finally, regarding array cultivation, I can start with fire arrays."

"After all, the path of arrays is extremely difficult to cultivate; starting with the fire attribute, which I'm best at, will be much simpler. Once I successfully cultivate the fire attribute array, it'll be easier to extrapolate and set up illusion and concealing arrays..."

Qi Ping's talent in the path of fire is indisputable, especially given that the True Meaning of Fire is the first manifestation of the Heaven and Earth Laws.

The initial fire arrays rely on array bases to communicate the power of the True Meaning of Fire; generally, simple fire arrays can be set up once one can somewhat perceive the True Meaning of Fire.

And now, Qi Ping can directly use spiritual power as a medium to control the True Meaning of Fire, surpassing many novice array masters.

However, this isn't without merit, as arrays leverage the power of Heaven and Earth; the deeper the understanding of this power, the more force one can harness.

"In other words, as long as my array skills improve and my Divine Soul power keeps up, the force of the True Meaning of Fire I can leverage with arrays and array bases will be much greater than what I can directly control on my own..."

From this point, one can see the value arrays possess when they provide a geographical advantage.

Qi Ping estimates that the Cyan Origin Sect's ability to withstand pressure from many same-level sects simultaneously may largely be due to arrays.

With powerful arrays, multiple same-level sects might not be able to defeat them even if the entire sect's power is unleashed, and even if victory were possible, it would come at great cost, potentially leaving them open to exploitation by opportunists.

Thus, the Cyan Origin Sect has agreements with several hostile sects regarding battle parameters, ensuring that the scale, number, and strength remain within an acceptable range, so no matter the outcome, the sect's foundation remains unshaken.

...

Having determined the direction for array cultivation, Qi Ping poured most of his energy into array learning.

From basic theory to fundamental exercises in array setup, Qi Ping studied with great seriousness.

Unknowingly, more than a month's time passed.

After about forty days, Qi Ping finally used Spirit Stones to set up his first array: the Celestial Fire Array!

[Celestial Fire Array: Tier One low-level array, upon successful setup, can gather fireballs to launch attacks...]

At this moment, Qi Ping's Celestial Fire Array covered an area of about one hundred square meters; after entering the array, he immediately activated it, directing it to attack himself.

Upon Qi Ping's activation, the array immediately began to operate. Around ten fireballs started to gather from all directions, attacking Qi Ping simultaneously.

Soon, roughly ten fireballs struck Qi Ping's body, generating deafening roars and explosions.

"Each fireball has reached a speed and attack power comparable to the Fireball Technique performed by a cultivator at the Fourth-Layer of Qi Refining..."

"If a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator were hit by this many fireballs, they might end up with no remains! Even those at the Fourth or Fifth Layer face the risk of severe injury or demise."

Having tested the power of the Celestial Fire Array, Qi Ping felt quite satisfied.

A Tier One low-level array aimed at mid-stage Qi Refining has manifested power enough to threaten that level, which is remarkably impressive.

Yet Qi Ping noticed that its formidable power was primarily due to his high control of the True Meaning of Fire; another Tier One low-level array master wouldn't unleash the array's full potential.

"However, cultivating the path of arrays is incredibly challenging; even with my current conditions and talents, it took me a month to successfully set up my first Tier One low-level array, and it was fire-element. Truly remarkable..."

This cultivation difficulty is beyond mere words.

Qi Ping can scarcely envision how long it would take to establish an array if he hadn't perceived the True Meaning of Fire, lacked the Druid identity, and Heaven and Earth Blessing Talent, without the advantage of Divine Soul Talent, not to mention his current Ninth-Layer of Qi Refining cultivation base.

"I estimate it would take at least a year to succeed; no wonder there are so few array masters. Without talent, regular cultivation seems much more appealing, or crafting talismans is somewhat simpler, and earns money easier..."

If other array masters knew Qi Ping became a competent Tier One low-level array master capable of setting up a Celestial Fire Array in just over a month, their jaws would drop.

Because this speed is already incredibly astonishing!

"Now that I've crossed the entry threshold, beginning the path of array cultivation, I'm confident that the road ahead will be much simpler..."

Most of this month was spent researching basic array knowledge and practicing fundamental array skills; the actual array setup didn't take long, and Qi Ping successfully established the Celestial Fire Array thanks to his substantial advantages.

Given Qi Ping's current conditions, learning a Tier One low-level array is truly a downward comparison.

It's noteworthy that during this period, Qi Ping's cultivation level smoothly reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining due to ample honey supply, without encountering any barriers...
