The last Asura Sovereign

His grandfather pushed the jade slips with spiritual energy towards Amrit. After reaching for the jade slips he started to put one on his forehead. If he had violet soul he could just use hi divine sense to engrave into those jade slips but although he had few specks of violet in his soul, he was not quite there. So after placing the jade slip on his forehead, he closed his eyes and focused as he recalled the inheritance about arrays up to top tier of second grade and continued to engrave it. Although he got the knowledge about arrays, he doesn’t understand it a bit. It’s like having a Quantum Mechanics book, even if you have a book with solutions, it doesn’t mean you will be able to understand it. You may be able to memorize some forcefully, but if there is even a small variation then you are screwed. Since it was not by divine sense, it took Amrit quite a while, almost half an hour. The moment the last symbol of the array was imprinted into jade slip, a surge of energy coursed out of Amrit's body, leaving both his body and spirit feeling drained. The complexity of the top-tier second grade arrays was unlike anything he had encountered before, each intricate design holding immense power. As he opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by the expectant gaze of his family members, their expressions a mix of curiosity and excitement. By the time he finished engraving he was heavily perspiring. Using soul power and untrained one at that put quiet a heavy toll on his spirit and drained the energy from body.

Raising the jade slip slowly, he held out his hands towards his grandfather, who enveloped it with his divine sense and made it float towards himself slowly and carefully, afraid he would break it. The other gathered around, their eyes gleaming with anticipation as they examined the intricate symbols etched onto the smooth surface. As his grandfather studied the jade slip, a hushed silence fell over the room. Amrit could feel his heart pounding in his chest, wondering if he had done it correctly, if he had truly imprinted the knowledge as he should have, afraid that due to his superficial comprehension the knowledge he had imprinted may not be complete or may be somewhat wrong. After all this was his first time imprinting anything on the jade slip. The more his grandfather looked into jade slip with his divine sense the more dumbfounded he became. There was confusion on his cold face at first then it slowly changed into surprise, then excitement and then he started to grin like idiot. After what seemed like an eternity, his grandfather looked up with an idiotic and excited smile playing on his lips “Hahaha, now I understand”. He just started laughing himself. The rest of the family started looking at him with disdain. Century of imposing presence cultivated, gone in an instance. His grandmother just gave slight pat on his back of head and started complaining “Why are you laughing like an idiot? Just tell us what is inside there.”

Realizing he had lost his composure he attempted to go back to his previous imposing presence. But the toothy grin hanging from his face gave it away. Looking at the three member of his family he explained “This is top tier second grade array inheritance but the strength of some arrays inside is almost comparable to third tier low grade arrays. Not only that, I have finally broken through the bottleneck and reached top tier array master. Give me couple of years, I am confident I can break through third tier of array mastery.” His father and grandmother looked with surprise not because he had broken through top tier of array mastery, it was inevitable as he had been at this bottleneck for almost half century, so with little bit of knowledge he could have broken through. They were surprised because he was confident in breaking through third tier. Breaking through major realms in auxiliary profession was harder than breaking through in cultivation realm. With initial surprise, they started to become excited. Having a third tier array master in clan was greater than having Golden Core Formation realm, it was not just about strength but also laying the foundation for clans and connections with other clans. Unless necessary no clan will offend a high grade auxiliary master even more array master who can slaughter the whole clan without them knowing how they died.

His grandfather's laughter filled the room, a rare display in Rijal clan. The knowledge that he had successfully imprinted the top-tier second grade array inheritance and finding that the inheritance was of peak grade filled him with a sense of accomplishment unlike any he had felt before. As his family members began to grasp the significance of his achievement, a wave of excitement washed over them, each one envisioning the possibilities that lay ahead for their clan with a possible third tier array master in their midst. The intricate world of arrays was not just about power, but about strategy, defense, and offense - essential elements for any clan looking to thrive in the tumultuous realm they inhabited.

For example, top tier first grade spirit gathering array can increase concentration by at most one and half times, the high tier second grade array, spirit gathering array could almost double the spirit energy concentration, the top tier could double the spirit concentration whereas third grade low tier spirit gathering array can make the spirit energy concentration four times than the natural occurrence. Don’t look down upon four times the concentration, it isn’t as simple as 2+2=4, the overall difference of benefit between double and four times the concentration is almost ten times, this is why any clan with third tier spirit gathering array have a lot of Foundation Building realm cultivators. Even with second grade high tier spirit gathering array there were tens of Foundation Building realm cultivators in Rijal clan.
