Chapitre 9: Journey
The process of producing the Spirit gathering array is very simple. The First step is, Inscribing a spirit gathering symbol in the Array plate using one's spirit energy.
Array Plate: It's a small square or rectangular shaped metal, which is created by forger using certain metals. The grade of Array plate differs according to the Forger's experience, skill, and talent.
Once a symbol is inscribed on the Array plate it transforms into a formation plate. An array can contain one or more formations or seals.
The Spirit gathering arrays uses 9 formation plates and one seal symbol inscription. The seal Symbol can either be drawn individually or it can also be inscribed at formation plates.
Only an experienced and skillful person can Inscribe a seal symbol in the formation plate. Because the sealing symbol can't be drawn in single formation plate, one has to divide a seal and draw it precisely in every formation plate which then combines to form a perfect seal symbol. At the same time, this method is also the most challenging, effective and powerful.
Since this is the Ye Xian's first time inscribing a symbol in the array plate, he encountered many problems but with the memories of saint redwood, he perfected in no time.
After 3 hours of effort and exhaustion of spirit energy, Ye Xian finally created a Spirit gathering Array. From this day onwards, he can be counted as Array Master by profession.
Ye Xian took out the nine formation plates he inscribed and arranged them in the circles. Once the Array is laid, he inserted his spirit energy in one of the formation plates. As soon as, he inserted the spirit energy the formation plates around him let out a 'buzz' and connected with one another; The spirit energy in the surroundings surged into the Array and replenished his exhausted spirit energy.
Ye Xian was excited and ecstatic seeing his first created array. With the amount of spirit energy gathering around him, he deduced the Array reached Peak 'grade one'.
If the people in Numinous association heard this they would be shell-shocked. Because only the Blue ranked Array master is capable of producing Peak 'grade one' array, white ranked Array master can utmostly create a middle-grade array.
Ye Xian was fully refreshed as he absorbed the surrounding spirit energy. With the help of Spirit gathering array, he will be able to produce other Array's without any problems.
Once again, Ye Xian began to produce formation plate but this time it's for Mortal Concealment and Nine Soul Storm Array.
Mortal concealment: With this array, they can easily conceal themselves in the surrounding even the Spirit elemental practitioner won't be able to discover the array.
Nine Soul Storm Array: This is attack based array, with this array one can create high-level soul attacks, even the middle-level soul realm practitioner can't escape from their fate once they enter the array space.
With the help of Spirit gathering Array, Ye Xian was able to create other Formation plates without exhaustion of his spirit energy.
After one day of effort, he created 1 mortal concealment array, 2 spirit gathering array, and 3 Nine soul storm array.
Even though he successfully created the formation plates, he severely exhausted his mental power. Ye Xian decided to take some rest and recuperate his mental powers before he starts the forging.
After 6 hours of rest, Ye Xian gathered every material he brought for forging the sword. Even though he has fire spirit stone, creating a weapon is very exhausting task only Blue ranked forger can create the weapons.
But Ye Xian is confident in his ability as he has Spirit gathering array and spirit energy equal to that of Peak white Ranked Numinous.
According to saint Redwood, 'one can only call themselves as forgers when they are capable of forging what they imagine in their minds.'
Unlike Array, The grade of weapons differs according to the Forger's technique. Saint redwood has his own forging technique, capable of creating anything in his imagination.
His forging technique uses only spirit fire and spirit energy. He creates his weapons and other accessories with the motto – Using spirit energy as the hammer, a weapon will be born.
Ye Xian used his Fire spirit stone and controlled every material with the help of his spirit energy.
Saint Redwood's technique needs him to use his spirit energy to create the weapon. Once the material is melted, he used his spirit as mold, the weapon he wanted is sword so little by little a blade formed; how he wanted and imagined in his mind.
But in halfway, his mental energy is fully exhausted and spirit energy began to show signs of breaking apart. This is what will happen when one tries to create something beyond their capability.
Ye Xian persisted using his willpower and unwavering determination. "Soon, Soon, I will be able to create my first weapon. I only need to hold on for 10 mins, I will do it! I can do it!"
He continued in forging his weapon as he shouted and encouraged himself in his mind. Seconds passed...A minute passed... soon, 10 minutes passed by and Ye Xian forged his first Weapon with the just pure willpower and determination.
Even before, he could look at his weapon, he passed out because of the relentless exhaustion of his spirit energy and mental power.
Without him knowing, the surrounding spirit energy slowly absorbed into Ye Xian's body as they replenished his spirit power and further strengthened him.
Ye Xian woke up after 12 long hours of sleep, his spirit energy and mental powers are fully restored, he even noticed his mind is much clearer than before. Only then he noticed his spirit energy can reach a distance of 30 meters, he was overjoyed as he broke through and become White Ranked Master Numinous.
He checked the mortal ranked weapon, he forged. It's a long sword with cutting edge on one side, the blade is silver colored as that of a crystal, and it fitted perfectly with a leather hilt which he brought.
The sword appearance is as of how he imagined in his mind. He liked this sword very much as it was the first forged weapon of Ye Xian so he named the sword as 'First Born'.
According to the map given by his father, the 'Whispering forest' spanned over ten's of thousand kilometers. If one wants to travel from Pearl city to phantom city, one has to cross the Whispering forest and another two cities to reach the destination.
Ye Xian planned to train in the outskirts of the Whispering forest by battling some mortal realm magical beasts. He heard there are even True elemental beasts in the core region of the forest but he didn't have to worry about that as he was only going to train in the outskirts of the forest.
Apart from the magical beasts, he has to look out for the wandering bandits. From pearl city, it will take around two days by foot to reach the outskirts of the Whispering Forest.
He brought many things like foods, spices, dresses and many useful items needed for the long journey.
Ye Xian set off at early morning and left the Pearl city. After walking for some distance, he gazed the outline of Pearl city for one last time, where he has grown from a small age and began his journey again.
------
City Lord Mansion,
Ye Yonghai stood near the window as his eyes pierced through the long distance and watched Ye Xian who was traveling away from the pearl city.
"Ye Xian, Don't blame me for not taking care of you. You are just a small fish in the river of countless fishes, only by constantly fighting and struggling you can find the ocean. If your mother knows, what I have done, she will beat the hell out of me." Ye Yonghai mumbled and laughed to himself.
----
Two days after Ye Xian left the Pearl city; A news traveled across the entire pearl city stating, 'that the current city lord resigned his post and a new city lord is appointed by the White moon kingdom.'
Bi Family Mansion,
"Are you speaking the truth?" Bi Rong asked with a doubtful tone.
"Yes, Patriarch. Everyone in the Pearl city knows about this and we even got the invite by new city lord as he arranged a banquet in the City lord mansion." The servant replied.
"Hahaha, Finally!! I no longer have to stay inside this shity mansion. Wait... What about city lord's son, Ye Xian?" Bi Rong cackled to his heart's content and suddenly questioned the servant again as he remembered something.
"We got reports stating that Ye Xian left the Pearl city two days ago and no one knows where he has gone", The servant said.
"Ok, You can leave now"
"Yes, Patriarch"
Like Bi Family, Hal family also got this good news. They are the ones who are truly happy about this news, they were fully suppressed by Ye Yonghai's might and strength so they lived in fear till now.
