Chapter 203 - Sealed Arrays

Name:Death... and me Author:Suiyan
*Pin!*

[The birth of a Soul Transformation Realm can deeply affect an entire sect's destiny. They are a force to be recognized with, bringing a storm to the country, depending on their achievements. Host helped one of these experts to find his own path, allowing him to take this incredible step.]

[Reward: 300 Destiny Points.]

Rean smiled, already expecting something like this.

'Not that much, but it already helps.'

With everything settled, Mia decided to leave with the others. But before that, she said something else.

"Droman, now that you entered the Soul Transformation Realm, there will be a lot of cultivators coming to pay a visit to you. After all, everyone at the Nascent Sou Realm and above felt your presence when that happened. You better stay in the sect for the next few days."

Droman was aware of it. He is a lot older than Mia, so he was here when she entered the Soul Transformation Realm too. At that time, the sects and other powers came to congratulate her and the sect. In fact, their sect had done the same thing when other Soul Transformation Realm cultivators appeared in their country.

"Yes, Sect Master."

Mia nodded and added.

"Also, since Rean will spend some time healing those with Umbral Energy during the next few days, you might as well act as his protectors and stay by his side. I doubt anyone will try something idiot with you there."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #...-and-me_17340518006576905/sealed-arrays_49537770909130472 for visiting.

After finishing those words, Mia disappeared from the room. Tiria and the others congratulated Droman one last time and left as well.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Droman finally let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Rean was fine, so he wouldn't become the cultivator to have lived the shortest after entering the Soul Transformation Realm.

"I say, boy. You really know how to scare others."

Rean couldn't help but shrug his shoulders.

"Hey, it was Elder who sent me flying, you know?"

Droman then looked around his room and scratched the back of his head. He had quite a few things he liked there. However, because of the burst of Spiritual Energy, everything broke apart.

"Well, not everything can be perfect. Let's go somewhere else. I'll have the disciples fix this place for the moment."

Rean nodded, and the two went to another secluded place. There, Rean and Droman continued to talk about the new Router Formation that Droman would be working with.

"Well, this is basically everything I can think about at the moment. However, I know nothing about formations, so Elder will have to figure out how to put all of this together."

Droman looked at Rean before looking at himself. In the end, he decided to offer.

"You have the knowledge. That being said, why don't you become a Formations Master? A head for theories like yours would be perfect for the job when coming up with new formations."

Rean felt a little embarrassed after hearing that. Everything he talked about was the general knowledge he learned back on Earth. There wasn't anything really original to it. 

"Better not. I'm already a blacksmith, so I prefer to not waste more time learning formations as well. Besides, I only gave everyone ideas. The concept to make those things work is totally different."

Droman shook his head, though.

"Now that I think about it, you are really a blacksmith. In that case, you should definitely rethink working on formations. You must understand that it is possible to add tiny formations to weapons as well to enhance their abilities. Well, to be more specific, they are called Sealed Arrays since they are sealed inside the weapons. You can't mistake it with 'formations' drawn to be static in a place or 'equipment formations' made with several equipments that have Sealed Arrays to create Formations on the spot. They are three different uses with their own features, after all. Of course, they are all branches of the Formations Master occupation."

Rean narrowed his eyes. So far, he hasn't seen a single Weapon Sealed Array in anyone's weapons.

"How come I've never seen it?"

Only then Droman remembered that Rean is still in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Oh, right. You won't see such works before you deal with weapons at the Heaven Level. That's because weapons at the Earth Low, High, and Peak-Levels aren't strong enough to keep the Sealed Arrays' integrity during a battle."

Droman then took a small plate out and showed it to Rean.

"This is a Heaven Low-Level equipment. I paid a fortune to get this little guy. As for the Sealed Array drawn on the plate, it was me who did it."

Rean looked at the plate with curiosity and could see the Sealed Array that Droman told him about. It wasn't just drawn on the plate's surface. The Array entered the plate itself, making it's way to the other side of it. Even if someone scratches the surface, the Array will continue to work. To make the Array lose effect, one will need to literally open a hole on the plate.

Droman then threw the small plate in the air. Suddenly, the Sealed Array on the plate began to shine as the plate increased in size tens of times. However, the impressive thing was that the Array increased in size too.

"This is one of the powers of a Heaven level equipment. It can keep the proportional size of the Array as it changes. Weapons at the Earth Level can't sustain such a thing. The Arrays inside would definitely crumble apart."

Rean was surprised to see that.

"Does it mean that I won't be able to make a Heaven Level equipment if it doesn't have a Sealed Array on it?"

"Not necessarily. You can make a Heaven Level Equipment without Sealed Arrays. However, suppose you put two identical pieces of equipment against each other. In that case, the one with a Sealed Array on it will definitely trash the one without it."

Rean nodded. He had to admit that these Arrays caught his attention. It was then that he thought about something else. Right after, he contacted Sister Orb.

'Sister Orb, would you be able to crack into those Sealed Arrays as you did with the formations we found in the past?'

[Hard to say since I've never encountered one. However, even if possible, it will depend on the Soul Gem System's processing power. In the end, the battle might be over before I even manage to crack into it.]

'Processing power? Like, CPUs? The Soul Gem System has such a thing?'

[Of course! Why do you think it is called a system? If you want, you can use Destiny Points to upgrade it too. It's just that your authority hasn't reached the necessary level yet, so this option is not available in the reward list.]

Rean was quite surprised by that. But after thinking about it for a moment, he had to admit that it made sense. Of course, the system's existence was still as weird as ever. At least there was no such an 'all-powerful' system back on Earth.

'Oh well... Heaven Level Equipment can only be used by Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and above. If such an enemy appears in front of me, it will matter little whether his equipment has a Sealed Array in it or not. Still, I better prepare myself for it now that I know.'

"By the way, what does your Sealed Array do, Elder Droman?"

Droman smiled as he stuffed his chest with pride.

"This is one of my masterpieces, a fusion between energy gathering and flying Sealed Arrays. It can gather Spiritual Energy on its own to keep itself afloat."

Rean's mouth twitched.

"That's it?"

Droman nodded.

"That's it."

Rean couldn't help but spit out.

"It's useless!"

Droman, of course, got angry when he heard it.

"Useless your head! Suppose you have an attack coming your way. Instead of holding that plate to defend and be blasted with it, you can send the plate to block the attack first."

Rean snorted, though.

"And what happens after? The plate will be blasted away, and you will have to go take it back?"

"Of course not, look."

Droman then made a seal on the air. Right after, the plate flew right back on his hand.

"See? I can call it back as soon as it finishes blocking the attack. As long as the Sealed Array is not damaged, I can do it as many times as I want."

Rean still found it quite impracticable. There were way too many flaws in it.

"How strong is the Energy Gathering Array? Can it keep with a long battle? Nascent Soul cultivators use powerful attacks. I can't see the Energy of a simple Energy Gathering Array being able to cope with it. If it runs out of Energy while you are not close by, will it fall into your enemies' hands? Or maybe just fall on the ground? Consider that it still has Spiritual Energy to spare. If your enemy fakes his attack for you to throw the plate and then grab it, is the flying Array on it able to get the plate free from the enemy's grasp? If it can't, what will you do when you lose the protection of this plate? Does it have a countermeasure that will automatically strike the enemy who is holding it? What if..."

Droman began to sweat. The more Rean talked, the more useless his plate seemed to be. It reached a point that even Droman began to doubt his own choices.

Suddenly, Droman recalled his plate and put it away while Rean was still talking.

"Ahem... let's forget about my little plate for now, shall we?"

Droman was forced to do it before his own heart broke apart.

"Anyway, after all the... points... you mentioned just now, you can see just how important Equipments with Sealed Arrays are, right? If you intend to become a peerless blacksmith, you will have to know how to draw your own Sealed Arrays."

Rean decided to ignore the fact that Droman fled from the topic about his flying plate. After all, he wouldn't commit the same mistakes.

"Very well, I'll do it."
