Chapter 552: Chapter 566: The City is the Big Formation

Li Shan closed the door tightly after entering the room and saw Hu Bing sitting at a side drinking tea, with Wang Cai sitting next to him.

A toad was lying on the table, and a teacup was also placed in front of it.

“How did you do that just now?” Li Shan looked at Mu Can with surprise and delight, her sudden increase in strength must be closely related to Mu Can.

The cultivators outside had grown so strong that they could even enhance someone from Wuwei Realm directly to the strength of All Things Realm.

“It’s just an augmentation of Spiritual Power, and this method seems suitable only for someone with Body Cultivation like you,” Mu Can explained.

He had been hiding in Wang Cai’s hidden Array, observing everything that happened outside.

He was satisfied with Li Shan’s trust in him.

“Can you teach me?” Now Li Shan truly started to admire Mu Can; if she had Mu Can’s skills, she could easily eliminate the generals.

Unfortunately, Mu Can shook his head; Li Shan’s condition was not suitable for becoming a cultivator; her meridians had already formed and could not embark on the path of cultivation.

Seeing Mu Can shake his head, a look of disappointment flickered through Li Shan’s eyes. If she couldn’t learn his skills, she felt a great sense of loss.

“However, I can teach you some other techniques that can also improve your strength.”

“What techniques?” Li Shan’s dim eyes immediately brightened again.

If she couldn’t embark on the path of cultivation, it didn’t matter as long as she could enhance her strength.

“Array,” Mu Can said. Although he couldn’t set Li Shan on the path of cultivation, since her age was past the optimal age for cultivation, the path of Array Master doesn’t rely on the level of cultivation but on the perception of Spiritual Power.

In the Supreme Interface, there was once an Array Master of Spirit Transformation Realm who managed to trap and kill a being of All Things Realm using arrays.

Even the Heavenly Dao person who was friends with that Array Master never discriminated against him for his level of strength.

According to Heavenly Dao person’s description to Wang Cai, that Array Master had grasped the grand Dao of arrays, completely integrating himself with the Arrays; his strength couldn’t be measured by ordinary means.

Although turning Li Shan into a Great Practitioner might be unrealistic, allowing her to perceive Spiritual Power was a simple task.

“Array? I want to learn array.” Li Shan knelt down in front of Mu Can; in this world, without strength, there was no ability to protect oneself.

Just in this city alone, Li Shan had witnessed too many people with tragic fates – those powerless women could only cling to powerful men, their status not even as good as that of a dog.

Even some men with little strength had to attach themselves to the powerful as servants.

It was only because Li Shan was from the City Lord Mansion that she could still get some protection; otherwise, without strength, one could imagine the outcome.

“Wang Cai, proceed!” Li Shan thought it would be Mu Can who would teach her the arrays personally, but instead, she saw the dog beside him sitting up.

“First, I need to ask you a question, hmm, do you know what an array is?”

Wang Cai stood up with his paws behind his back – it was time for Teacher Wang Cai to make a move.

Back in the Three Realms, whenever there was a chance to educate Mu Can, Wang Cai would show the same expression.

“I don’t know.” Unfortunately, Li Shan didn’t even know what an array was and couldn’t answer Wang Cai’s question.

Wang Cai’s inscrutable expression froze, as if she hadn’t played along with his plan, and facing someone who didn’t even know what an array was, how was he supposed to teach?

“Quack quack! There aren’t even cultivators here; how would anyone understand arrays?” The toad on the table mocked Wang Cai.

“This world isn’t devoid of cultivators. This Spiritual Artifact here is engraved with arrays, and if I’m not mistaken, this city is also a Big Formation,” Mu Can shook his head, believing this world must have undergone some catastrophe, breaking the cultivation inheritance and leaving only bits and pieces proving the existence of cultivators in the past.

“Um…” Wang Cai was suddenly at a loss. If Li Shan had some basic understanding, that would be fine, but she had absolutely no foundation at all.

“Come over here.” After thinking it over, Wang Cai waved Li Shan over, and a blank table appeared in front of him.

He then took out three nail-sized Spirit Stones.

“What are these?” Li Shan, like a curious child, was full of curiosity about what Wang Cai had taken out.

“Very simple, I’m going to show you the function of arrays in the simplest way.”

Wang Cai arranged the three Spirit Stones in a simple formation, and with a gentle wave of his big paw, a mysterious connection was established between the three stones.

“Is this an array?” Li Shan tilted her head, not understanding what Wang Cai intended with the three stones.

“Yes, this is the simplest possible array.” Wang Cai nodded and took a mouse from the New World and placed it among the three Spirit Stones.

The poor mouse, like being in a maze, kept moving around within the stones, unable to find its way out.

“Is it lost? So this is an Enchantment Formation?” Li Shan’s eyes lit up.

Seeing the mouse behave as if it was in a maze, completely unable to see the outside.

Wang Cai nodded in satisfaction at Li Shan’s comment.

“This is the very basic type of array. If you expand this type of array and replace the materials used in the array with higher quality ones, you can trap people inside. If you prepare in advance, you could even trap someone much more powerful than you inside. This is the power of arrays.”

Wang Cai said with a profound look, then didn’t forget to pick up a cup of tea from the table and take a sip.

Li Shan fell into deep thought upon hearing Wang Cai’s words, never having imagined such strategies.

“I see now, this city must also be an array, and the person controlling the array is my father,” Li Shan suddenly recalled the words previously told to her by the City Lord.

“The city is the last stronghold of the Human Clan; it embodies the wisdom of the predecessors, and the successive City Lords control this city.”

Yes, that must be right; the successive City Lords would definitely be able to control this Big Formation through some means.
