Chapter 1535: Chapter 969: 100 Years of Seclusive Cultivation_2 Chapter 1535: Chapter 969: 100 Years of Seclusive Cultivation_2 By relying on the medicinal power of four cups of Enlightenment Tea and prolonged self-cultivation, he finally achieved the current accomplishments.

That’s right.

During this seclusive cultivation, He Song did not choose to directly consume four cups of Enlightenment Tea for cultivation.

Instead, upon noticing an anomaly, he immediately opted to consume the Enlightenment Tea repeatedly and would engage in self-cultivation for some time after each consumption.

In doing so, he maximized the medicinal power of a single cup of Enlightenment Tea.

And it was precisely this seclusive cultivation process.

That also made He Song’s period of seclusion unusually long this time.

After waking up this time.

He Song calculated and suddenly realized that he had been in seclusion for a full hundred years.

A century had passed in the blink of an eye.

Yet, this realization left He Song somewhat dazed.

To be clear.

At the beginning of this seclusion.

He Song did not expect that this seclusion would last for a whole century.

And this century-long seclusion.

Became the longest period of seclusion in He Song’s many years of cultivation.

However.

Reflecting on his gains and experiences during this century of seclusion.

A weight was lifted from He Song’s heart.

During this hundred years.

He Song faced numerous challenges during his seclusion.

In the initial phase of seclusion, He Song progressed rapidly, successfully merging two Nascent Soul Grand Arrays, laying the foundation of this composite array.

Moreover, these two Nascent Soul Grand Arrays could work together, greatly multiplying their power.

This decision made He Song feel at the time that creating a composite array was within reach.

And indeed.

During the subsequent seclusion, He Song progressed swiftly, utilizing the medicinal power of the Enlightenment Tea to optimize his composite array multiple times.

And the power of this composite array became increasingly strong under He Song’s simulations.

However.

As this composite array continued to be perfected.

He Song quickly sensed something amiss within it.

This composite array.

While its power increased steadily as it was perfected.

Its requirements for the setting began to become stringent.

At that time, though, the setup requirements of this composite array had not yet reached the level of the Nine Abysses Ruins Array, which required a natural array to assist in operation to unleash its full power.

But as this composite array became more perfected, its requirements for the setting became increasingly demanding.

He Song even believed.

If he perfected this composite array to an extremely perfect level.

Then.

The composite array he created would also require the assistance of a natural array to exert its full power.

Or, perhaps, other strange requirements would arise to exert the full power of this composite array.

Realizing this.

He Song, of course, couldn’t continue in this way.

Therefore, at that time, while the medicinal power of the Enlightenment Tea hadn’t dissipated.

He quickly began deducing a solution in his mind.

He needed the composite array to exert its full power regardless of where it’s set up.

He needed to abandon the setup experiences gained from the Nine Abysses Ruins Array and re-plan a completely different path for the setup of this array.

Exactly.

The issue He Song faced in creating this array was actually what he had learned from the Nine Abysses Ruins Array.

Previously, He Song had relied too heavily on the Nine Abysses Ruins Array.

Therefore, his self-created composite array also bore many elements of the Nine Abysses Ruins Array.

But.

The Nine Abysses Ruins Array needs to be set on a natural array to exert its full power.

This point has even appeared in the most basic logic of the Nine Abysses Ruins Array.

Under such circumstances.

The composite array He Song created quickly followed in the footsteps of the Nine Abysses Ruins Array.

If he wanted to truly unleash its real power, he would have to find a natural array to set this array.

Otherwise, it couldn’t exert its true power.

Thus, it is evident.

The amount of effort He Song needed to break free from this shackle in his composite array creation.

By the end of this seclusion.

He Song even overturned his previous assumptions.

Instead, by relying on ideas he developed later, he redesigned the composite array he created.

And it was precisely because of this.

That He Song’s seclusion lasted for a century.

And he consumed four of his only five Enlightenment Tea Leaves, leaving just one.

This massive cost.

Was brought about by these matters.

However.

He Song wasn’t particularly affected by this.

Because the gains he made during this century were indeed substantial.

With four Enlightenment Tea Leaves consumed.

Along with years of self-cultivation.

He Song’s cultivation reached the midpoint of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

According to He Song’s estimation, he possibly only needed to cultivate in the Nine Abysses Ruins Array for another two to three hundred years to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

And by that time, He Song would face the bottleneck of the late-stage Nascent Soul.

But this is also why He Song was keen to reserve his last Enlightenment Tea Leaf.

Keeping that leaf might assist He Song in breaking through such a bottleneck in the future.

Meanwhile.

During this century of seclusion, He Song also successfully perfected the composite array he created.

And due to solving numerous array tao issues during these hundred years.

His understanding of array tao improved by more than a notch.

As of now.

The composite array He Song created had seven layers of arrays within it.

One main array.

Six auxiliary arrays.

And this powerful composite array with seven layered arrays.

It was much stronger than He Song had previously anticipated with just five layers of arrays.

Though still incomparable to the Nine Abysses Ruins Array, capable of rivaling the Divinity Transformation Array.

The gap between seven layers and ten was no longer as vast as it had been.

He Song believed.

Before he reached Nascent Soul Perfection.

His understanding of array tao would definitely enable him to create a composite array powerful enough to compete with the Nine Abysses Ruins Array and rival the Divinity Transformation Array.

This confidence emerged from He Song’s heart after a hundred years of seclusion.

Also, it was due to He Song’s great need to invent an array.

To the present He Song.

With a lead in his cultivation within the Nascent Soul Realm.

Next, he must consider breakthroughs in his cultivation and future attempts to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

In the face of these two matters, everything else must take a back seat.

Of course.

He Song’s caution would not be shaken by these matters.

It’s just that.

Within caution, He Song would exert every effort to allow his cultivation to break through rapidly.

And begin to keep an eye on opportunities that might help him achieve the Divinity Transformation Realm.

After all, He Song no longer needed to seek opportunities himself.

With Qing Feng and Xianyun, and Ghost Soul helping He Song find opportunities from the outside.

He Song’s safety was actually well guaranteed.

Under the protection of the Nine Abysses Ruins Array, finding He Song turned into an immensely difficult task.

Moreover, during this hundred years of He Song’s seclusion.

Qing Feng and Xianyun had discovered for He Song as many as two hidden places with natural arrays.

Thus, He Song’s safety got even stronger.

As long as He Song relocated.

His whereabouts would no longer be known by outsiders.

As for He Song’s puppets.

Even if these puppets were destroyed, outsiders can’t extract much information about He Song from them.

Simultaneously, He Song could use this newly created composite array.

To select some corpses to refine powerful puppets.
