CHAPTER 90: CHAPTER 89 ADVANCED KNOWLEDGE FOR THE COMPILER

"Earth Kun, Yin Wind Array!"

Outside the abandoned mine of the Thirty-Third Cave, at the command, a howling yin wind blew forth from the depths of the earth.

The cold yin qi spread continuously, while the surrounding mine began to weather rapidly under the yin wind, as if hundreds of years had passed in an instant.

The hard rocks turned into sand and dust, the rugged stone walls were forcibly smoothed, and even the abandoned mine tunnels seemed to be erased by an invisible hand.

In just a moment, the entire abandoned mine was swept clean!

"Stop!"

The command sounded again, the yin wind gradually ceased, and Lu Yan emerged from the shadows holding the Soul Banner.

In this ghostly fog-filled mine, fourteen fierce ghosts were arranged neatly in formation, with several Spiritual Ability Codes lighting up on their bodies, their ghost qi interlinking to form an array.

The Yin Wind Array, a tier one inferior array recorded in "Array Profound Mystery", harnessing the cold yin qi to invoke the yin wind from deep within the earth.

Its damage to physical objects is limited, but if caught off guard, and a soul is struck by the yin wind, even a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator would suffer severe injury; it is the most sinister and vicious of tier one arrays.

Lu Yan orchestrated the fierce ghosts to form the Yin Wind Array not because he valued its viciousness, but simply because at this phase he had limited understanding of Spiritual Ability Codes and could only construct the most basic arrays.

The Yin Wind Array aligned with the attributes of the fierce ghosts, and its required array nodes were fewer, making it Lu Yan’s best choice.

His gaze swept over the fourteen fierce ghosts, appearing muddle-headed, the Spiritual Ability Codes on them flickered like fireflies, as if they might extinguish at any moment.

Lu Yan frowned slightly, murmuring with some disappointment:

"Without complete soul transformation and intelligent brain codes, is this the best I can achieve?"

It had been a month since Lu Yan committed himself to studying the Spiritual Ability Codes, with only three months left until the next world version update.

During this time, aside from occasionally keeping an eye on the production of Nine Dragon Power Potion, Lu Yan invested all his time in researching Spiritual Ability Codes and arrays.

With the complementary systems of arrays and Spiritual Ability Codes, Lu Yan skipped the preliminary stage of research and quickly gained entry-level understanding in both fields.

In the process, Lu Yan even took time to perform a spiritual transformation on Quentin.

Lu Yan erased the original incomplete Spiritual Ability Codes on Quentin’s arm, replacing them with a tier one inferior array, the Blood Refining Array, written in Spiritual Ability Codes.

Successfully allowing Quentin to become a Spiritual Ability User while also gaining the special enhancement provided by the Blood Refining Array, capable of refining and strengthening the body’s internal vitality.

This method left Quentin dumbfounded.

According to Quentin, a two-million-priced spiritual transformation in the Upper City District only enhanced the body and elevated spiritual energy to the level of a Spiritual Ability User.

Those with special abilities like silver skin, golden bones, and spiritual energy bursts have a transformation cost of at least fifty million.

Lu Yan, by combining the two systems to compile the blood refining spiritual transformation, was not inferior to a seasoned compiler.

Gaining Quentin’s approval gave Lu Yan immense confidence, prompting him to attempt parsing the Spiritual Ability Codes on the Intelligent Brain Spirit Body.

Then... Lu Yan was slapped hard by the accumulated soul technology of the cyber version.

The Spiritual Ability Codes engraved on the soul were of a complexity far beyond Lu Yan’s comprehension.

If ordinary tier one array patterns and basic Spiritual Ability Codes were at an elementary school math level, then the Spiritual Ability Codes for soul transformation were equivalent to university-level calculus.

Even with the Spiritual Ability Codes laid out before him, Lu Yan couldn’t comprehend them and could only copy them mechanically.

Subsequently, Lu Yan used the fierce ghosts within the Soul Banner as test subjects, attempting to engrave these Spiritual Ability Codes on the ghosts.

Lu Yan tried hundreds of times, almost causing the soul bodies of two fierce ghosts to collapse, and only found a few usable Spiritual Ability Codes.

Using these sporadic Spiritual Ability Codes, Lu Yan barely managed to connect the ghosts and orchestrate the Yin Wind Array.

With fourteen mid-Qi cultivation fierce ghosts forming an array, achieving such an effect was already extraordinary.

However, this was worlds apart from Lu Yan’s initial conception of Soul Banner intelligentization, where countless fierce ghosts would form the Array of Ten Halls of Yama and obliterate opponents with a wave of the hand.

Waving his right hand holding the Soul Banner, he recalled the fourteen fierce ghosts back into the Soul Banner, pressing his temples with some frustration, Lu Yan said:

"I can engrain Spiritual Ability Codes on the fierce ghosts entirely because of the Soul Banner’s absolute control over them; it’s not genuine soul transformation at all.

If experiments continue at this rate, even ten years in the cyber version won’t suffice to parse the Spiritual Ability Codes on the Intelligent Brain Spirit Body.

To achieve Soul Banner intelligentization, I need to find a way to obtain genuine soul transformation technology.

At the very least, I should acquire some advanced knowledge of a compiler to learn about higher-level Spiritual Ability Codes, which will facilitate parsing the Intelligent Brain Spirit Body."

"But soul transformation technology is highly classified, even in the Upper City District, and I can’t even leave the Lower City District right now, how could I possibly obtain it?

In contrast, seeking advanced knowledge of a compiler seems to be more feasible.

In the research centers and universities of the Upper and Central City Districts, advanced compiler knowledge is prevalent; it’s only because of the severe knowledge blockade in the Lower City District that it’s unavailable here.

If I can break free from this constraint, there might be a slight chance."

Lu Yan’s eyes flickered, seriously contemplating solutions.

Recently, the conflict between the Lower City District and the Upper City District had intensified, casting an uneasy atmosphere over the entire cave.

The entire city’s attention was focused on the cave, creating a potential gap in the Central City District’s blockade during this period.

If I seize this opportunity, I might obtain the advanced knowledge of a compiler.

Due to the presence of that Intelligent God, once I enter the monitoring range of the Central City District, I might already be in the line of sight of the Intelligent God.

In this situation, there’s no way Lu Yan could risk going to the Central City District personally, no matter how precious the advanced compiler knowledge might be, it doesn’t outweigh personal safety.

Besides, Lu Yan’s current identity is completely fabricated, and heading to the Central City District with such a blatantly fake identity would almost certainly lead to exposure.

"Therefore, I need a channel capable of accessing the Central City District, using someone as an intermediary to acquire the advanced compiler knowledge.

However, ordinary people cannot access such valuable knowledge, and those qualified usually hold high positions, making it nearly impossible for them to betray the Central City District for profit during critical times like these."

Names flashed through Lu Yan’s mind, finally settling on a young figure.

Considering the information reported by Shaq over these days, a slight smile emerged at the corner of Lu Yan’s mouth.

"Unless... I have leverage over him!"
