Having found a solution to the Circular Void Array, they flew again in towards the black mountain and within an hour, they were in front of the black mountain.
When they arrived, there was another grand array on the mountain. This one was more complicated and more powerful compared to the previous one. Han Cai recognized this as the "Nexus Deflection and control Array", a powerful defensive array it was more complex than the circular void array. .
Han Cai sat outside the array and started studying it. The array was so intricate that it was going to take him a long time to understand it fully.
A week had passed and Elder Bai returned. He was surprised to see that Jiang Xun had chosen a gray-colored flying sword, the famous Death Sword of the sect. The sword had been bathed in Yin Qi for hundreds and thousands of years before it gained consciousness. The Death Sword selecting Jiang Xun was a surprising development for the elder, but nevertheless, he was pleased that the Azure Dragon Sect would have another talented disciple armed with a heaven-grade weapon to protect himself.
Elder Bai then took Jiang Xun out of the Treasury grotto world. Han Cai and Blacky remained behind. Blacky was there to help Han Cai escape using the Shadow Domain in case they failed.
The Nexus Deflection and control Array was a multidimensional array with numerous layers and sub-arrays intricately linked to each other. Its design was a sophisticated blend of spatial geometry and temporal manipulation, meant to simultaneously misdirect, deflect and control any intruders.
Han Cai decided if he wanted to break through this array he needed to build it himself. the first step in replicating the array was to understand the structure and pattern of its energy flows. He meticulously analyzed the array, breaking it down into smaller components, studying the complex interaction of its energy lines, and mapping out the grand blueprint of the array in his mind.
Using a clear patch of land as his canvas, he started drawing the base layer of the array. Using his Qi, he carefully traced the fundamental lines, laying the groundwork for the rest of the array. This layer primarily consisted of basic geometric figures - circles, triangles, and squares - that were interconnected, forming the foundation upon which the complex structure of the array would be built.
After the base layer, He started crafting the subsequent layers. Each layer was a complex interplay of geometric figures, designed to augment the previous layers and add another level of protection. They were intricately woven into each other, interlinked through a complex network of Qi lines.
As he worked on the layers, Han Cai simultaneously focused on creating the intricate sub-arrays. These sub-arrays were smaller in size but were incredibly complex. They served as the secondary defense mechanism of the Nexus Deflection Array, each having a unique function like confusing the intruder and then pushing them out and even controlling them within a particular area of the array.
It took him several failed attempts to successfully align the Qi lines of these sub-arrays with the rest of the layers. Each failure was a learning experience, each adjustment a step closer to success. Finally, after two months of ceaseless attempts, Han Cai managed to successfully integrate the sub-arrays into the larger array.
When the last sub-array was completed, and the last line of Qi was connected, Han Cai could feel a surge of energy circulating through the completed array.
The moment he succeeded, he felt his array ability awakening. It was no longer semi-dormant - his Array Grandmaster ability was fully awakened now. He was array grandmaster now. No one below transcendent realm could break his arrays.
Han Cai went back to the black mountain and passed through the Nexus Deflection Array easily. When he crossed the array, he realized the black mountain in front of him was not a mountain, but a giant bell. It was a divine grade treasure, but, as luck would have it, this treasure was being controlled by the massive grand array around it. It was a good thing Han Cai did not break the array, or this divine treasure might have broken free.
Now that he was an Array Grandmaster, taking control of this array wasn't overly difficult for him, but it still took Han Cai two months to gain control of the array that was governing this divine grade treasure.
After gaining control of the array, Han Cai didn't disturb the treasure yet. First, he moved around the bell-shaped mountain and created a custom illusion array, ensuring that anyone who looked at the mountain would see the same, unaltered, mighty giant.
Once the illusion array was activated, Han Cai manipulated the grand array around the divine treasure. As he activated it, the divine treasure at the center of the array began shrinking. Within a minute, the massive mountain transformed into a tiny black bell.
Han Cai immediately stored the black bell in his system storage and, with Blacky, disappeared from the spot.
Fifteen minutes after Han Cai vanished, an ancient-looking man materialized in the Treasury grotto heaven. This was none other than Tian Long. He examined his surroundings, searching for something out of place. After a lengthy inspection, he found nothing amiss. A frown creased his face but, finding no sign of disturbance in the Treasury grotto heaven, he too disappeared.
Han Cai and Blacky reappeared directly in Yan City, specifically in Yan Rui's courtyard. After leaving Han Cai there, Blacky disappeared.
Yan Rui wasn't in his courtyard at the time, so Han Cai waited quietly for his great-grandfather.
When night fell, Yan Rui returned to his abode and saw Han Cai sitting quietly in the hall, deep in meditation. Yan Rui was taken aback seeing his Qilin great grandson.
Han Cai, sensing Yan Rui's arrival, rose and went to bow to his Great-grandfather.
Yan Rui cleared his throat to shake off his surprise, and then sat on his cushion.
"Why are you here, is everything ok?" he asked. "Did the sect elder let you visit home? You should have informed me. I could have sent some clan elders to bring you back."
