Chapter 1051: Chapter 661: Zhou Tian City, Array Replication, Rapid Progress

"However, now that I have thoroughly comprehended the Array of the Outer City, I can even, in necessary moments, utilize the power of the Array. It shouldn’t be that easy to be discovered when approaching the Inner City."

The people of the Gongsu Family would never expect that there could be such a Devil in the world.

Someone who could, with just a few glances, grasp the complete details of the City Protection Array that they had managed for generations.

So they would not guard against anyone coming to research their Inner City’s Clan Suppression Array.

Saying it and doing it, Lu Qing immediately activated the Array of the shop, pretending to rest to avoid any sudden interruption from outsiders.

He then stealthily left, concealing his aura, and quickly made his way toward the Inner City, moving through the shadows.

With the Perfect Golden Core’s formless and shapeless ability, plus his thorough understanding of the Outer City’s Array,

Lu Qing now navigated the Outer City with ease.

He could even perfectly integrate his aura with the fluctuations of the Outer City’s Array,

making it almost impossible for anyone to detect his presence.

As he ventured further inside, it didn’t take long for Lu Qing to reach the position near the Outer City.

Looking at the towering Inner City walls exuding a terrifying aura, etched with ancient patterns,

Lu Qing did not move closer because he knew proceeding further would trigger the Array’s response, alarming the people in the city.

He found a good spot, hiding his figure while ensuring he had a clear view of the city walls.

Then, he activated Superpower, observing those ancient patterns intently.

For a long time, after seeing the information appearing in his vision, Lu Qing’s eyes revealed a trace of joy.

Looking at the hints in the notes, he didn’t hesitate and chose to download immediately.

After a while, when the Superpower indicated the download completion, he chose to simulate.

[Simulation complete, start learning?]

This time, however, Lu Qing did not choose to learn immediately. Instead, he quietly retreated, slipping back into the Outer City.

Before long, without alerting anyone, he returned to his artifact refining shop.

Entering the quiet room where he usually practiced, Lu Qing once again activated the Superpower and chose to study.

In the next moment, a vast amount of information about the Array inside Zhou Tian City surged from deep within his mind, plunging Lu Qing into a state of Sudden Enlightenment.

After a long time, when he opened his eyes again and woke from the state of comprehension, his gaze carried both joy and regret.

"This Inner City Big Array in Zhou Tian City truly deserves to be the Gongsu Family’s Clan Suppression Array, exquisitely beyond any Array I have comprehended before.

Unfortunately, the information downloaded this time is only part of the entire Inner City’s Array."

Lu Qing was delighted because the exquisiteness of this Inner City Protection Array exceeded his expectations.

This time’s gains have significantly deepened his foundation in the path of Arrays.

The pity, however, is that the Big Array information he downloaded this time is not the complete Inner City Protection Array.

The reason is that this Clan Suppression Array of the Gongshu Family is not a single Array.

It is a massive Array, highly complex, formed by combining many small and medium-sized Arrays.

Lu Qing downloaded only part of the Array information from the ancient runes on that section of the city wall.

"It seems that replicating this Array will take a while longer."

Lu Qing did not feel discouraged; on the contrary, he was somewhat excited.

He had a premonition that once he downloaded and comprehended the entire Clan Suppression Array of the Gongsu Family, his achievements in the path of Arrays would significantly increase.

In the days that followed, Lu Qing continued to play the role of an honest and simple Artifact Refining Shop Owner during the day,

while stealthily venturing out at night, continuously downloading information on the Clan Suppression Array of the Gongsu Family from the walls of the Inner City.

In this constant process of downloading, simulating, and comprehending, Lu Qing’s accomplishments in the path of Arrays advanced rapidly, faintly showing signs of becoming a true Array Master.

After all, this is a profound Array foundation of one of the thirty-six upper families, containing the painstaking efforts of countless Array Masters within the Gongsu Family over countless generations.

Now being absorbed and incorporated by Lu Qing alone, how could his achievements in Arrays not increase swiftly?

And so, over a month passed.

On this night, Lu Qing was quietly comprehending in the quiet room.

When the sky began to brighten slightly, he suddenly opened his eyes. With his hand open, a virtual Zhou Tian City reappeared in his palm.

Compared to a month ago, however, the Array patterns of this virtual Zhou Tian City were much more complete, covering about sixty to seventy percent of Zhou Tian City.

"What a pity, a month’s downloading and simulation only reproduced the Array information contained on the entire Inner City’s walls to about seventy percent of the entire Circulation Star Array."

Lu Qing looked at the virtual Zhou Tian City in his hand and shook his head with some regret.

Now he had comprehended seventy percent of the Array of Zhou Tian City.

The most core thirty percent of the Array is still beyond reach due to the obstruction of the Inner City walls, inaccessible and undownloadable.

"However, seventy percent of the Array is enough for me to do a lot of things. Moreover, with other gains from this past month, completing the assassination is no longer a problem."

Even though comprehending the Clan Suppression Array of the Gongsu Family brought immense benefits,

Lu Qing did not forget his true purpose for infiltrating Zhou Tian City.

Over the past few months, he has also been finding ways to investigate information about Gong Shulian and Qiao Rong, gaining substantial insights.

Coupled with his understanding of the Arrays of Zhou Tian City, the likelihood of assassinating these two persons has become significantly higher.

"It is said that since Gongshu Yu died, Qiao Rong has rarely appeared, either because she fears the Nangong Family’s revenge or for other reasons; basically, she stays within the Inner City and seldom comes out."

"But Gong Shulian is different. Having exhausted his potential, he sees no more advancement possible in the path of cultivation, so he turns to indulgence.

This person, being a direct lineage of the Gongshu Family and also a Primordial Spirit Ancestor, can be said to be running rampant in Zhou Tian City.

It’s rumored that every half year, he visits the largest brothel in the Outer City, Mengyun Lou, and indulges in excesses, taking over the entire establishment for his pleasure.

This man’s nature is violent. Each time he finishes indulging, many women at Mengyun Lou are brutalized to death by him, making him a dreaded name."

"And the next time Gong Shulian comes out is in three days."

Otherworldly expressions emerged in Lu Qing’s eyes as he recalled the information he had gathered over the past few months, turning colder.

Upon arriving at Zhou Tian City, he now understood why Gong Shulian had been marked for assassination.

This person has committed countless evils, causing the death of numerous women over the years.

Therefore, it’s natural that discontent brewed among people.

Even if nobody dared retaliate directly due to the Gongsu Family’s overwhelming influence.

But secretly commissioning assassination tasks through the Netherworld Palace is unstoppable.

After all, in the Heavenly Origin Great World, no force dared to compel the Netherworld Palace into revealing the identities of their employers.

For someone like Gong Shulian, Lu Qing had no psychological burden in going through an assassination.

Regardless of his grudges with the Gongsu Family, the crimes committed by this person were enough to warrant his death ten times over.

"Three days later then..."

Lu Qing murmured softly, then closed his eyes and continued to comprehend the Array.

Although the Inner City’s Circulation Star Array’s core thirty percent Array information is temporarily out of reach,

the seventy percent Array he comprehended and downloaded these days greatly enhanced his Array foundation.

Now, he was only a step away from the Grandmaster Realm, where one could make the unreal real and create an Array in a single thought.

Three days later will be the best day to assassinate Gong Shulian.

Although confident in his strength,

gaining more power beforehand increased his odds of success.

Time passed quickly, and the three days went by in the blink of an eye.

On this morning, Lu Qing hung the "Resting" sign on the door of his shop.
