Star Odyssey Chapter 1200: Inception Array

Chapter 1200: Inception Array

Lu Yin had arrived at the realization that the Innerverse and the Neoverse must also possess their own intelligence networks.

He suddenly thought of Zi Jing, as who could have greater access to information than CyNet? It was a pity that CyNet was a subsidiary of the Hall of Honor that was closely supervised. That must be the reason why the Hall of Honor had been willing to give CyNet its own hidden world. It was impossible for Lu Yin to gain the loyalty of such an organization, and he realized that he was simply dreaming.

Lu Yin’s vision changed once again as he ended the Possession and returned to his own body. Upon returning, he reflexively checked his cosmic ring. Unfortunately, of the 7.21 million star essence, only about 300,000 remained. This Possession had cost him about 6.9 million star essence, which was just too much.

Still, the knowledge that he had gained was truly invaluable.

With 300,000 star essence left in his possession, Lu Yin did not hesitate to roll his die once again. This time, he rolled one pip: Pilfer, and a token fell out.

It looked to be some kind of imperial token, and it broke under just a bit of force. Judging by the material’s quality, the empire that had issued it was not even strong enough to control a single weave, and such a token was worthless to Lu Yin.

Lu Yin threw the considerations of the token out of his mind as he continued to roll the die. Next, Lu Yin rolled three pips: Enhance, but since he was broke, he was unable to upgrade anything. Thus, he simply continued.

His next roll finally ended on four pips: Timestop.

The scenery changed before his eyes as he entered the Timestop s.p.a.ce.

300,000 star essence was only able to extend his time in this place to a bit more than 200 days, but Lu Yin was already able to form his own star crystals at this point in time. Although this would be a bit annoying to deal with, he could still extend his time by nearly a year if he condensed his own star crystals.

Lu Yin had used his Timestop s.p.a.ce for nearly a year in the area with the eyes at the top of the mountain in the Mountain and Seas Zone, and that session had improved his control of star energy to the Worldliness realm as well as comprehend the Teleportation Formation sourcebox array. He did not know what sort of results he could achieve this time.

Lu Yin glanced at the number representing how much time he potentially had left. He then removed the golden pages of True Insight from his cosmic ring.

He had five pages, and it was time to go through them.

True Insight was a ma.n.u.script made up of thirty six pages in total. It belonged to the Hall of Honor, and it was a supreme treasure of sourcebox arrays.

Only Advanced Lockbreakers had the potential to comprehend the sourcebox arrays recorded in True Insight, and even then, it was possible for the sourcebox arrays to be beyond their capabilities.

Lu Yin had a.s.sumed that comprehending the Cosmic Sect’s Teleportation Array meant that he would also be able to comprehend the sourcebox arrays in True Insight. However, he had underestimated the golden pages and evaluated himself too highly.

He realized that it was possible that what he had learned had just been a simplified version of the Teleportation Array that had been specifically designed for the Cosmic Sect’s disciples to learn. Qiu s.h.i.+ had most likely also learned the same thing.

Lu Yin suddenly realized that it would take several years or even decades to fully comprehend a sourcebox array. There were some arrays that could even take him hundreds of years, and there were still others that would never be comprehended even after spending an entire lifetime studying them.

Lu Yin read all five pages of True Insight and then finally selected one page to study. It seemed to be the simplest sourcebox array, and it was known as the Inception Array. Lu Yin did not even know what the array did, but he was in the Timestop s.p.a.ce.

The main reason why it was so important for Lockbreakers to improve their star energy control was so that they could eventually comprehend sourcebox arrays. Only after reaching the Worldliness realm of control could one use star energy to mimic the danger zones radiated by sourceboxes. Otherwise, one would have to arrange a sourcebox array with sourceboxes that had identical danger zones, which was practically impossible.

To put it more simply, sourcebox arrays were a method to simulate the power of the predecessors.

First, one needed to simulate, learn, and gradually comprehend the array before they could ultimately arrange a sourcebox array on their own.

It was said that top level Array Masters were capable of seeing through the danger zones of multiple sourceboxes in but a glance and that they could arrange even the most complex and most powerful sourcebox arrays in just a few moments.

At this point in time, Lu Yin struggled to unlock even a single advanced sourcebox, and he was far from even glimpsing the abilities of an Array Master.

Of course, Lu Yin had no intention of overextending himself, and he intended to proceed step by step. As he progressed, he would eventually reach the point where he had fully grasped a sourcebox array.

Time was nothing more than a number for most cultivators. When Lu Yin grew excited over comprehending the Inception Array, he was almost out of time in the Timestop s.p.a.ce.

The Inception Array was a sourcebox array that protected one’s spiritual force. By using this array, one’s spiritual force would become as st.u.r.dy as a rock. Although it was not invincible, it would still make one’s spiritual force much more durable than before.

Lu Yin tried it out. If he had possessed this sourcebox array when he had fought against Nightking Zhenwu, then not even the Nightking’s Skybreaker would have been able to do much to Lu Yin. Even Zhenwu’s cheat-like innate gift would not have been enough to threaten Lu Yin.

Also, there was another important aspect to the Inception Array, which was that it was able to nourish and strengthen one’s spiritual force. Although the effect was not much, it was still much better than the slow improvement that naturally occurred with time. Once Lu Yin found a suitable method for cultivating his spiritual force, this Inception Array would be a perfect supplement.

Although this sourcebox array seemed to be rather useless since it was unable to be used offensively, defensively, or even to heal, spiritual force was often a weakness for many people. There were also others who specialized in spiritual force attacks since that would typically give them an overwhelming advantage.

With the Inception Array and the Stonewall Scriptures, Lu Yin had no need to be concerned about his spiritual force being a weakness, not even if he faced a master of spiritual force.

Wait, why did he just have to pa.s.sively defend? Why couldn’t he take the initiative to learn a strong spiritual force attack?

Night Advent was useless against people like Nightking Zhenwu, but it was still very effective against other powerhouses. If Lu Yin managed to raise his spiritual force and his cultivation level even further, then he should be able to threaten top powerhouses like Yuhua Mavis.

The more he thought about this, the more Lu Yin felt that he should attempt to further improve his spiritual force. He also happened to have a method to do so; which organization in the universe was more adept at using spiritual force than the Daynight clan?

The scenery before him changed, and Lu Yin reappeared in a secluded part of his planet in the Lockbreaker World. After relaxing for a while, he found Xiao s.h.i.+ and Xiao Chi, but he could not figure out what the two were muttering about. For them, almost no time had pa.s.sed, but it had been a full year for Lu Yin. This disconnect with how others perceived the pa.s.sage of time was something that Lu Yin had never been able to adjust to.

He returned to the area of the planet that he had chosen to be private. There, he raised a hand and brought out the Daynight clan’s inheritance stone.

The Daynight Banquet had been held because of this stone, but the banquet had ultimately ended with Nightking Zhenwu’s death. Zhenwu had never even considered letting Lu Yin survive, and thus, he had never asked for the inheritance stone. The Nightking had just a.s.sumed that he would take the stone back himself.

This was why Lu Yin had never returned the stone of inheritance and why it was still in his possession. After all, Nightking Zhenwu had never retracted his accusation against Lu Yin, and that had caused all sorts of complications and problems for Lu Yin.

Compared to such difficulties, Lu Yin would rather keep the stone of inheritance.

The Daynight clan was a powerful force, and there was no doubt that their spiritual force techniques were unparalleled throughout the universe. Those techniques were precisely what Lu Yin was currently lacking.

Although the Daynight clan was his enemy, Lu Yin had to admit that they were incredibly powerful.

With a burning desire for the Daynight clan’s spiritual force techniques, Lu Yin entered the inheritance corridor once again. He found himself in a familiar place, and he looked at the slate that stood outside the corridor. When he had first seen this slate, Nightking Zhenwu’s name had topped the list, but his name had since disappeared and been replaced by Zhuo Daynight.

Although Zhuo Daynight had led the Dayking clan to rebel against the Daynight clan and had left for the Great Yu Empire in the Outerverse, the tablet in the Daynight clan’s ancestral grounds did not distinguish between family branches or account for divisions within the clan. Even Lu Yin’s image had appeared on the tablet, so there was no need to mention why Zhuo Daynight’s image was still present.
