Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill-Chapter 464 - 46 Array Optimization
Chapter 464 -46 Array Optimization
No matter what the outside world was like, it didn’t affect Wang Sheng.
He wanted to erase the Spirit World of the First Dynasty as soon as possible, so after his seclusion, apart from the necessary cultivation, he was basically researching Array Transformations.
“Saying it’s difficult isn’t quite right; the most important thing is actually to change the energy system of the Array.”
The Array required energy from cultivators; what he needed to do was to change this, or rather to optimize it.
“It’s not a bad thing for people to provide energy, but if only people can provide it, the limitations are significant. Therefore, the best method is to maintain both means, neither one being dispensable.”
With this idea in mind, Wang Sheng began his own transformation and optimization.
His Array skills had already reached a Breakthrough status, and he was as familiar with the basics of Arrays as one could get.
Still, the transformation was not that simple. This time, it took him almost half a year to finally complete it.
“Array: Breakthrough+3 (1%)”
In half a year’s time, aside from cultivation, Wang Sheng was researching Arrays, and thus his skills reached the level of three Breakthroughs.
“One Breakthrough is a method for arranging Mixed Arrays, while three Breakthroughs is advanced Array knowledge, somewhat similar to the ingenuity of a Sword Array.”
The Arrays that Wang Sheng could set up were all basic Arrays, like the basic Trapping Array, Confusion Array, Killing Array, etc. A single Breakthrough only allowed him to integrate all these Arrays into a mixed arrangement.
But regarding complicated, named Arrays like the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation, he was still clueless. This three-times Breakthrough didn’t mean he could now set up Arrays that could trap a Daluo Golden Immortal, but it gave him hope.
He was no longer limited to basic Trapping and Killing Arrays.
In fact, this knowledge had similarities to the methods of arranging a Sword Array.
As for replacing manual energy input with Energy Stones, that, of course, was also a success.
So he called Huangtian and Zhu Xiao.
Zhu Xiao seemed to be in seclusion, so the one who arrived first was Huangtian.
“Sir, is there something you need from me?”
“Aren’t you always hoping for the Teleportation Array to become a real public utility? Now the opportunity has arrived!”
Wang Sheng took out a Jade Talisman, which contained the heritage of the Teleportation Array.
“Sir, are you saying…”
“I have transformed the Teleportation Array. Now, teleporting tens of thousands of miles is not a problem, and it only needs routine maintenance. In theory, as long as space remains stable, it can be used indefinitely.”
Wang Sheng’s transformation and optimization naturally reached their best.
This transformation of the Teleportation Array wasn’t only about the Energy Stone modification.
“The tens of thousands of miles are just one aspect. In theory, as long as the materials are complete, any cultivator can set up an Array, not just a Spirit Cultivator. And Energy Stones can be used to provide the energy needed. Of course, the further the teleportation, the more Energy Stones are consumed. For the maximum distance—36,000 miles—the consumption of Energy Stones will exceed your imagination.”
Despite the many limitations, Huangtian was still ecstatic when he heard this.
“Sir, how much would it consume for a hundred miles, a thousand miles teleportation?”
“The energy consumption for a hundred or a thousand miles is manageable. To set up a Teleportation Array, at least a thousand fists-sized Energy Stones are needed. If used just for a hundred miles, it can teleport at least a million people; a thousand miles teleport can also handle two to three hundred thousand people.
But for the maximum distance teleportation, even for a single person, a thousand Energy Stones wouldn’t be enough, at least three thousand are needed to teleport one person.”
“Three thousand Energy Stones to teleport tens of thousands of miles? That’s incredibly cost-effective!” Huangtian thought differently.
To a territory that has begun mining like Datong, three thousand Energy Stones were a drop in the bucket.
Wang Sheng shook his head, “You still don’t realize how astonishing the energy contained in one Energy Stone is. Do you know about the big pit outside Jiangyuan City?”
“I do!” The big pit outside Jiangyuan City was left from the explosion of a Mechanical Beast protecting during the battle between King Yong Nian and King Jiang Yuan.
“The explosive power of the White Tiger Mechanical Beast was enormous. It equated to no more than a thousand Energy Stones, and it’s unclear where King Jiang Yuan acquired the Energy Stones from, but it proves the remarkable energy within them.”
Wang Sheng had visited that pit; although thirty years had passed, he still sensed the aura of the Energy Stones.
The energy of one Energy Stone was beyond imagination.
In fact, it was a huge treasure.
If he had such Energy Stones in his previous life, technology would have taken off instantly.
“Energy Stones are more astonishing than you think. Let the people in the Mechanical Department research it; it will bring you surprises.”
Huangtian may have noticed, but he was too pressed for time to study it,
So he was still half-informed about Energy Stones.
“I understand, sir!”
When the sir spoke of important things, he never missed.
The importance of the Energy Stone was reiterated.
After pointing this out, Wang Sheng said no more, knowing that with Huangtian’s capabilities, it would be well-managed.
While the two were discussing this, Zhu Xiao arrived.
“I heard the Teleportation Array has been perfected?”
Zhu Xiao had always kept this in mind. With the Teleportation Array, the Yuelai Inn’s Array would surely improve.

“Yes, this is the arrangement method. As for how to set it up, you’ll need to discuss that with Huangtian.”
Zhu Xiao glanced at Huangtian and nodded.
Although powerful, she had never thought about relying on her power to do anything.
“No problem, the previous promise still stands. Now you are the major shareholder of Yuelai Inn!”
Previously, Zhu Xiao had said that if Yuelai Inn used the Teleportation Array, Wang Sheng would have fifty percent of the profits, more than she herself had, making Wang Sheng naturally the major shareholder.
Wang Sheng didn’t refuse.
Yuelai Inn was still quite significant to him.
Many of the ores he used to refine flying swords were sourced through Yuelai Inn.
Following that, Zhu Xiao and Huangtian went to discuss the Teleportation Array. From their smiles at the end, Wang Sheng knew the outcome was satisfactory.
“Sir, I plan to announce the existence of the Teleportation Array on the New Calendar’s Year 10 and start a trial in Zhongzhou first.”
Zhongzhou was where the great Zhou Dynasty once stood, where the capital of Datong was.
“Announce it in New Calendar Year 10?” Wang Sheng had intended for the Array to appear sooner in order to deal with the First Dynasty’s Spirit World quickly, not expecting it to be announced more than a year later.
He frowned but soon relented.
Setting aside the time needed for arranging it, and moreover—
“The public use will start in New Calendar Year 10, but internally, you’ll probably start using it pretty soon, won’t you?”
“Yes, sir!” Huangtian scratched his head, a rare gesture.
Wang Sheng found it somewhat amusing—it truly was military use preceding civilian use by generations, but in this way, his objective was also achieved.
“Then let’s go with your plan!”
Soon after, Huangtian left, knowing that the appearance of the Teleportation Array would probably save him a lot of time.
Time passed, and though the path of Arrays was difficult, imitating others still made it manageable for Huangtian’s subordinates, so it didn’t take long for countless long-distance Teleportation Arrays to be established, enhancing Datong’s efficiency once more.
Time went by, and more than a year passed, bringing it to New Calendar Year 9…
On this day, Wang Sheng, who was in the middle of cultivation, sensed a change and suddenly opened his eyes!
