Seeing Mu Zhiwei’s attitude, Dean Tianyi also smiled helplessly.
"This child Zhiwei has always been like this—indeed a bit cold, not fond of talking.
Unless something really piques her interest, she wouldn’t utter ten words in a whole day..."
Dean Tianyi gave this evaluation right in front of Mu Zhiwei.
Yet this senior sister seemed uninterested in others’ opinions, still turning her head to look outside the window, pondering her own thoughts.
"This training involves a lot related to arrays.
That’s why I sought Zhiwei’s help—it should make the training much smoother with her assistance."
Shen Han nodded, and the three of them embarked on their journey.
Their destination lay on the western side of Great Wei, near the border.
They were seated in the dean’s carriage, a rather luxurious vehicle that traveled through the air in a grand display.
"Do you have any understanding of the Path of Array?"
Sitting in the carriage, the dean began explaining to Shen Han.
"I have grasped some basics, but am still far off."
Dean Tianyi nodded.
"Our Tianyi Academy indeed hasn’t advanced much in the study of arrays.
Even in the Book Collection Pavilion, there are very few books on arrays.
The few available are quite basic texts.
However, the Path of Array is an extremely powerful type of technique.
An array set by a Fifth Grade Array Master might make even a Third Grade Immortal Realm strong hesitantly invade.
In the Path of Array, the weak can easily triumph over the strong.
But its downside is also obvious, as it confines you to a place and makes proactively killing the enemy not so easy."
Hearing this, Shen Han somewhat understood the dean’s intent.
Perhaps he wanted Shen Han to understand the Path of Array.
So in the future, he could protect himself with array skills, without constant anxiety during cultivation.
"About a year ago, a major event occurred in a small country within the western borders of our Great Wei."
As Dean Tianyi spoke of this, Mu Zhiwei, sitting beside him, finally turned her head to listen.
"That small country is called Qianyang Country, and it’s actually quite rich in history.
The Imperial Family was known for their expertise in the Path of Array.
Back then, rumors circulated that a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure was about to emerge within Qianyang’s borders.
Many powerful figures eagerly rushed to seize this opportunity.
But it was eventually revealed to be a scheme set by the former Imperial Family of Qianyang.
Suddenly, an Immortal Extinction Array had been set there, causing even Immortal Realm experts to lose their abilities.
That time, Great Wei lost quite a number of strong individuals..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Han naturally realized that this was when he first met Shi Yuezhu...
His expression unchanged, he still appeared slightly shocked.
He timely asked, "Is there truly such a strong array? Capable of suppressing Immortal Realm experts...
And with so many fallen experts, why does it feel like this matter hasn’t spread widely?"
"Mainly because the scope of impact is quite large, so much information has been concealed.
If Yan and Qi were to know, who knows what unexpected trouble might ensue."
Along the journey, the dean kept explaining what he knew about arrays.
After nearly four two-hour periods, the carriage finally descended.
They stood atop a mountain peak, looking down upon a continuous mountain range.
"Below in the valley is where the Secret Realm lies.
It’s said that back then, strong figures of Qianyang Country fell here, setting numerous exquisite arrays.
Only those with capability can catch a glimpse of these intricate arrays."
While speaking, the dean looked at Shen Han again.
"Your elder brother Shen Ye once came around here with Luo Zuchen to seek the secrets of arrays.
It seems he found nothing in the end.
Shen Ye’s attainments in arrays are merely ordinary."
Compared to setting arrays, people like Luo Zuchen should be more interested in acquiring the secret techniques of breaking arrays.
