Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 65 Direction
In another cultivation space of the Heavenly Craft Tower.

With a thought, Qi Yuan found two mysterious crystal fragments made of unknown materials in his hands.

Both fragments were only about a third the size of a palm; one was almost transparent and colorless, while the other was a dark, chaotic gray.

When Qi Yuan looked at the two crystal fragments, he immediately felt as if his consciousness was being sucked into them.

He hesitated for a moment, but then picked up the transparent, colorless crystal fragment.

As a wisp of consciousness probed into it, an immense amount of mysterious information began to flood into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The sheer volume of information was so immense that even Qi Yuan's powerful consciousness, now at the peak of the ninth rank of the universe level, was momentarily stunned by the impact.

Only after a long time, when the enormous and exaggerated mysterious information was finally transmitted, did Qi Yuan's consciousness gradually resume functioning.

"The Array of Time, with its eye in the unborn future and its core in the past, when completed, can banish enemies to the eternally drifting river of time."

Qi Yuan silently processed the massive amount of information that had just flooded into his mind.

To his disappointment, apart from the first few sentences that seemed like a grand prologue, he couldn't understand a single word of the rest.

This vast and complex mass of mysterious information was like a solid imprint left deep within his consciousness; he would not forget it, but he could not understand it for the time being.

However, the more incomprehensible it is, the more it proves the mystery and power of its contents!
"Is the incomplete 'Array of Time' incomprehensible because it's an incomplete scroll, or is it because one needs to have some basic understanding of the laws of time to comprehend it?"

Qi Yuan muttered to himself, but first put away the transparent fragment.

Although he made rapid progress in the Law of Lightning, he has been trying to use the Law of Lightning as a springboard to try to capture a trace of the fluctuation of the Law of Time.

However, the Law of Time is one of the two most mysterious and difficult-to-master superior laws in this world, and since he has only been here for a few years, he has not yet glimpsed its mysteries.

"Next, I will focus on improving my understanding of the laws, and strive to master the laws of time as soon as possible!"

Qi Yuan silently reminded himself, but then picked up another crystal fragment that looked like a chaotic color.

The moment his consciousness entered, he was prepared to be overwhelmed by a massive influx of information.

However, unexpectedly, not a single piece of information came in this time.

In his initial perception, the entire chaotic chip seemed empty, with absolutely no information present.

However, in a moment of reflection, a sense of fulfillment and sudden enlightenment arose, a feeling that is ever-present, that everything exists, and that the Way is all-encompassing!

It's as if this chaotic chip is the manifestation of the 'Tao', and you can find any answer in it if you want!
"My God, this is amazing!"

Qi Yuan was instantly shocked after only a slight perception!
This chaotic chip seems to contain the principles of all things and all paths; as long as one has a thought in mind, one can gain something from it.

This level of exaggeration was simply beyond Qi Yuan's comprehension!
If the training space of the Heavenly Craft Tower is to constantly replay the problem-solving ideas of predecessors in your ears, allowing you to quickly comprehend and write your own answers by referring to their ideas.

The feeling this chaotic chip gives is that while providing accurate answers, it also reveals the essence of the question.

It helps you understand what aspect of the content the question is testing, and what kind of 'rules' it is based on, so that you can fundamentally grasp this 'type' of knowledge, and not just be limited to the question at hand!
"A treasure! This is absolutely an extremely powerful treasure!"

Qi Yuan instantly realized the preciousness of this Chaos Chip.

He had never seen the Chaos Stele, which was said to be one of the three treasures of Chaos City, but judging from its effects, this Chaos Crystal chip seemed to have a similar effect to the description of the Chaos Stele in the original work!

The Chaos Stele is a powerful treasure known as a sacred object of the human race, and it is one of the true foundations of the human race!

This Chaos Crystal chip bears a resemblance to the Chaos Monument, which gives you an idea of ​​its immense value!
"And this is only a 'fragment'. If it were the truly complete 'True Explanation of Array Dao,' how exaggerated would its effects be!" Qi Yuan stroked the mysterious chip in his hand, his heart filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.

"The Array of Time, The True Explanation of the Array Dao."

"One contains the Dao of Time, which can banish enemies to the river of time forever; the other is almost the very essence of the Dao itself."

"An opportunity! This is an absolutely tremendous opportunity!"

Immediately, his eyes flickered slightly.

"However, the 'Array of Time' and 'True Explanation of the Array Dao' that I have obtained so far seem to be only fragments."

This was the first time he had ever seen the system return such an incomplete reward, which aroused his curiosity.

As a transmigrator who was familiar with the original work, he had a keen sense of things in certain areas. With just a slight shift in his mind, he had a vague guess.

"I received the fragment of the Time Array as a reward by giving away the Light-type inheritance from the Eight Formations. If I were to give away the Light and Wind-type inheritances separately, I wonder if I would ultimately be able to obtain the complete Time Array content?"

"Also, since there's the 'Array of Time,' could there also be an 'Array of Void'?"

"The overarching laws of wind, thunder, and light represent time, while the overarching laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth represent space. Thinking about it this way, it's quite possible!"

He only thought about it briefly before making up his mind.

Judging from the resources he currently possesses, the art of formations is definitely the most worthwhile area to invest in.

"It seems we need to train more array geniuses who can cultivate different attributes. At the very least, we need to collect all the 'Time Arrays'!"

"It's a pity that Xiao Liaoli doesn't seem to be a good match for formations. Even passing on the lightning-based inheritance to her couldn't trigger the critical hit bonus. Otherwise, I might have two fragments of the 'Time Formation' by now."

On the way to Red Leaf Star, Qi Yuan had already tried to give Liao Li a portion of the lightning-type inheritance from the "Eight Formations" manual as a gift.

It's just unclear whether it's because she's not interested in formations or because she genuinely lacks talent in that area.

That return not only failed to trigger a critical hit reward, but even the basic return multiplier was reduced to the minimum, resulting in a break-even situation, which was equivalent to wasting a return opportunity for nothing.

That was the first time Qi Yuan had seen the basic return rate decrease.

It was from then on that he gained a more intuitive understanding of the rule in the system description that "when imparting cultivation experience or giving items, they must be needed for the disciple's current level, otherwise it will affect the basic return rate".

It seems that the key to giving gifts is not only to match the disciple's level of cultivation, but also to see if the gift is something the disciple truly needs.

Just like the last time, since Liao Li couldn't get started with formations, and Qi Yuan wouldn't allow her to leak or trade away the inheritance she had acquired, then that seemingly precious lightning-type inheritance was just a useless decoration in her hands.

Therefore, it is understandable that the return rate is reduced.

This is also why Qi Yuan specifically set up a personal training test after accepting ten disciples under his name.

The purpose was to find a disciple who was talented and interested in formations.

And clearly, judging from the result of his first gift to his third disciple Yuan Mu, his approach was very wise.

"The next key tasks are, firstly, to continue improving our understanding of the laws and rapidly raise our cultivation level; and secondly, to find more disciples with talent in array formations."

Qi Yuan silently made plans for his efforts in the coming period.
