"Not many, but I indeed accepted quite a few inheritances, among which the most important is regarding Array identification."

Yang Jun invited Xiao Mu to drink tea and casually introduced him to the inheritances he had received, "Brother Xiao, if you're looking for hidden treasures, you've come to the right person. With the inheritance knowledge I've now received, I can definitely help Brother Xiao."

"Many thanks to Brother Yang."

Xiao Mu was delighted, feeling that his initial investment in Yang Jun had not been in vain.

"Brother Xiao is too courteous. Between friends, such thanks are somewhat redundant."

After the pleasantries, Yang Jun took a sip of tea, "The most important part of the ancient inheritance I've received from my ancestor Yang Yuan's bloodline include two kinds of Arrays, one is a Sealing Array, and the other is a Concealment Array."

"The Sealing Array is used to seal and suppress powerful individuals. This kind of Sealing Array mainly targets the interior of the Array, gathering various types of power to suppress the powerful being sealed within, preventing them from breaking the seal and escaping."

"The other kind, the Concealment Array, is for the exterior of the Array, hiding treasures within. It concentrates energy at a single point to guard against outsiders, preventing the treasure from being stolen or destroyed."

"However, these two Arrays are quite complex, and I haven't received much inheritance about them yet. I can only perform simple Array breaking and identification."

"Brother, Brother Xiao wants to find hidden treasures, so tell Brother Xiao how to identify a Concealment Array."

Yang Yu suddenly interrupted Yang Jun, proposing the idea.

"Cough, cough!"

Yang Jun, who was in the middle of speaking, almost choked on his own saliva. His sister's eagerness to help Xiao Mu was too obvious. Right off the bat, she suggested that he divulge the most crucial knowledge of an Array Master to the other party, which made him wonder if his sister had been swayed by Xiao Mu.

"I appreciate the kindness from Little Sister Yang Yu. If the method for identifying a Concealment Array involves the mystery of the inheritance, Brother Yang need not tell me," Xiao Mu quickly remarked, noting the importance of the Concealment Array Identification Method from Yang Jun's expression.

"Brother Xiao is too modest. The method for identifying a Concealment Array is not considered valuable knowledge. Since Brother Xiao has a need for it, I will share the identification method with Brother Xiao," Yang Jun said,

While speaking, Yang Jun suddenly turned back to glare at Yang Yu, who in turn glared back fiercely, scaring him into quickly turning away. He dared not provoke his sister.

He didn't intend to share the Concealment Array Identification Method with Xiao Mu, but Xiao Mu's words, tactfully retreating, made it difficult for him to voice a refusal.

"Many thanks to Brother Yang."

Xiao Mu gave a formal gesture of thanks to Yang Jun, knowing well that it was largely thanks to Yang Yu's efforts that he was able to obtain the Concealment Array Identification Method, and he felt a great deal of gratitude toward her.

"Not at all, Brother Xiao, please wait a moment."

Yang Jun stood up, went to the Study Room, and soon returned, holding a set of notes which he handed to Xiao Mu, "Brother Xiao, this contains the Concealment Array Identification Method and various hand gestures for identification. You can take it and practice on your own."

"Brother Yang, thank you very much!"

Xiao Mu knew the value of the identification method. He stood up, extended his hand to receive the notes, and expressed his gratitude to Yang Jun with sincerity.

"Brother Xiao..."

Yang Jun paused for a moment before adding, "The true art of identifying concealment is a unique inheritance left by my ancestor, and I hope Brother Xiao will not disclose it to others."

Xiao Mu was not surprised at Yang Jun's request, "It makes sense, Brother Yang. I assure you and your sister that after I practice this identification method, I will destroy it immediately and not teach it to anyone else."

"Thank you very much, Brother Xiao!"

Yang Jun bowed deeply to Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu quickly responded modestly, "It is I who should thank you, Brother Yang."

After bidding farewell to the Yang siblings, Xiao Mu left the Yang Family and returned to his own place, where he began to study the Concealment Array Identification Method.

In the Floating Hills, Lv Liangping's body descended, entering the Black Space Gate directly.

He continued falling downward for what felt like a very long time, until he finally set foot on solid ground.

Having steadied himself, Lv Liangping looked around and realized he was standing in the midst of an immense and empty space.

This was a vast plain, yet it was desolate beyond measure, endless and boundless, devoid of any animals or plants, even lacking any rugged terrain. It was flat as far as the eye could see, desolate as far as the eye could roam.

"What place is this?"

The peculiar terrain made Lv Liangping's heart fill with trepidation, but after a moment, he decided to explore.

Riding on clouds and mist, he tried to fly to the edge, but after several hours, he ended up back at the starting point.

This strange space appeared to be circular, no matter which direction one went, one would eventually return to the starting point after a full circle.

"It's an Array!"

Lv Liangping was not startled but delighted, as the presence of an Array meant that this was undoubtedly an Ancient Ruins site.

However, after recognizing it was an Array, how to break through it was a dilemma for Lv Liangping; he couldn't recognize what kind of Array it was, let alone how to deal with it.

"Just attack randomly and see."

After wandering in the peculiar space for a long time, Lv Liangping finally made a decision out of desperation. With a thought, above his head appeared a calamitous star wrapped in gray-black Calamity Qi, with a Gray-Black Long Spear in hand. Suddenly, Lv Liangping's body soared into the air and, accompanied by a piercing howl, he descended from the sky as the Gray-Black Long Spear struck the ground without hesitation.

Boom!

The rolling Curse Power mixed with gray-black Calamity Qi, swirling around the tip of the Gray-Black Spear, seemed to transform the spear into a giant meteor burning from the depths of the cosmos, blasting a super crater several hundred li across on the flat, lifeless ground.

Immediately afterward, the peculiar space was affected, and some kind of Array was activated in an instant, causing a reaction, and the whole space suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling white brilliance.

The peculiar space seemed to have suddenly become an incredibly bright sun, submerging Lv Liangping's entire body in an instant.

Horrendous force abruptly erupted from beneath Lv Liangping's feet. The force was so unexpected and fierce that it made him feel as if he had been shoved into a cannon barrel and was then shot out by the cannon.

Lv Liangping quickly mustered all his power to protect himself, but his body involuntarily flew out at a terrifying speed, and the energy coming from under his feet was so ferocious that it destroyed his protective technique in the blink of an eye.

The remaining heavy power penetrated through the soles of Lv Liangping's feet, and slammed furiously onto his body.

Pfft!

Unable to control himself, Lv Liangping spat out a large mouthful of black blood. It was then he discovered that he had already emerged from the Space Gate.

The Concealment Array Identification Method's most critical aspect was the forty-eight hand seals, which, when combined with power, made the Concealment Array visible.

This set of hand seals, which was the life's work of Ancient Times Array Master Yang Yuan, could identify most Concealed Arrays.

Opening his notes, Xiao Mu observed and practiced. The hand seals were complicated, but, after all, they were not like extraordinary abilities, so they were relatively simple to cultivate; after seven or eight days, Xiao Mu had mastered them.

Having grasped the Concealment Array Identification Method, Xiao Mu tried to contact Lv Liangping, and upon entering the Great Temple where Lv Liangping's divine avatar resided, Xiao Mu bowed slightly to the divine avatar.

Soon, Lv Liangping's Divine Sense appeared above the divine avatar, his voice sounding faintly weak, "Xiao Xiao, it's you, long time no see. Do you need something?"

"Chief Lv, long time no see."

After greeting Lv Liangping, Xiao Mu said, "Chief Lv said before that you were going to look for the Ancient War Ruins of the Five Elements Sect. How is that going?"

"Cough cough!"

Lv Liangping coughed, and his weak condition became even more apparent. "Recently, I did find a Ruins, but unfortunately, it is guarded by an unknown Great Array, which prevents me from exploring further."

"Chief Lv found Ancient Great War Ruins?"

Xiao Mu reacted with joy upon hearing this and also realized from Lv Liangping's demeanor that the latter must have been injured, asking in surprise, "Chief Lv, are you injured?"

"A minor injury, nothing serious!"

Lv Liangping casually replied, downplaying his injury, "Indeed, I've found a Ruins site, but whether it's from the Ancient Great War, that's hard to say."

"What's most terrifying is the protective Great Array within the Ruins; its power is truly too strong. Without finding the correct Decryption Method, even going there without knowing how to break the Array would be in vain."
