116.array illusion

With an understanding of how to use his spiritual senses, Adam would walk 300 meters, then stop to use his spiritual senses in the surrounding area and see if there was a lake nearby.

It was a very mentally draining process and also required quite a lot of Internal Energy, but Adam did it to train and practice the use of his spiritual senses and also helped him find the lake that his master had spoken of.

"It seems like the child has learned how to use his spiritual senses roughly. But he wouldn't find it that easy to explore this forest that wasn't as simple as it seemed" the old man said to himself as he sat on it. The dojo and observed Adam from a distance.

Adam had been searching for 10 minutes, but to no avail and the one thing he realized was that he had never gotten closer to the small mountains around him and though he felt moving, he did, it was as if he didn't really move. .

He knew the rough size of the forest and some of the small mountains in the area, as he saw online, but he was still unable to find the lake in the area and it was as if he was being tricked into thinking that he was moving when he was not moving.

"What's with the place" cried Adam frustrated.

The only thing Adam can compare what he feels is the corridor leading to each basement prison floor where time and space seem to work differently, but he still felt that it was a different experience.

As Adam had guessed, it was no ordinary forest, otherwise how could a strange dojo be found in the forest unnoticed by the public for such a long time.

Mr. Adam is manipulating the woods around the dojo and making it such that it is almost impossible for an ordinary person to find the dojo unless he wants to.

One day when he was bored, he allowed someone to come in and luckily that same person wrote a blog about it, that Adam had found and brought him to visit the forest.

As soon as Adam stepped into the forest, the old man sensed that he was a low-level cultivator and he was curious about what he was doing there and what he wanted, he said, so he allowed her to find the dojo and everything else was history. .

His master was able to do that using the arrays he placed around the area, which he controlled, and becoming an array master was an extremely rare job to have.

An array is a different formation that is inscribed onto a different material or at a different location to perform a different function when energized.

The array he placed around the forest was quite simple and did not require much energy, but it would be extremely difficult for someone who was not an Advanced Cutter to forcefully break through.

It was an arrangement that either deceived the mind and eyes and made the individual move around in circles towards their target using illusions, or would make the person avoid and not see a certain area.

With that, he managed to hide his dojjos for a long time until he got bored and allowed someone to enter.

The old man knew that it would be very difficult for Adam to know exactly what was going on and how to get through it, but he wants to test how perceptive Adam really is and whether his abilities will allow him to exceed the expectations that the master has of him.

He also did it to test how well Adam understood the use of his spiritual senses and how skillfully he was at using them.

Adam was confused by what was going on, but the only thing he could assume was that his master had something to do with it.

His master despite having an indifferent and reckless nature, was, it seemed very cautious and paranoid and it made no sense for Adam that he would live inside an unguarded forest that could be accessed by anyone.

[If this is an illusion that tricks my senses, maybe I should stop relying on my physical senses and just use my spiritual senses to navigate around the forest] thought Adam on himself who had watched many movies and read many novels that had similar situation .

He could sense that it was not something that physically restricted me or changed the environment around him, like a strange corridor leading to a basement, so the only other possibility is that it is an illusion.

Illusions are more effective on External Cultivators, who will find it much harder to see the past and can get out of illusions, but it should not be too difficult for Internal Cultivators to be able to cope. Lucky for the old man, there were more External Cultivators than Internal Cultivators.

His master would be enraged and shocked if he was told that Adam could find a way to get past his precious Illusion Array from watching movies and reading novels.

Closing his eyes Adam attempted to completely block all of his physical senses, which may have been deceived by the illusory array, and began with his touch, sight, smell and hearing, then strive to constantly maintain his spiritual senses.

It was very difficult for Adam to maintain his spiritual senses constantly to use them to replace his physical senses, he said, but after a few minutes of practice and help from his Hunters mind which helped him to focus his mind and remain completely calm, he was able to maintain his spiritual senses constantly.

"Unbelievably, within minutes this child could realize that his physical senses were being deceived and not only find a solution, but be able to follow through with a solution" exclaimed the old man while watching Adam from above the dojo. .

Adam was also shocked and amazed by what he was going through and it was as if he was looking at the world from a different angle.

It can take weeks, months or even years for an Internal Cultivator to get used to the use of their spiritual senses, but in a matter of minutes, Adam was able to do it, all because it was in the Hunter's mind that he allowed to take full control of the moment.

He could not see, hear, smell or feel anything, which he was only able to do because of the Hunters mind, he said, but he can still feel what is around him and has a rough idea of what is around him in his mind.

Although his shadow was hazy and his spiritual senses could only sense the great things around him, Adam felt more sensitive to the movements or changes in the surrounding energy.

Only by using his spiritual senses would he be able to sense whether one was cultivating nearby or if one was approaching him at high speed, but he will not have a clear picture of who or what is moving or absorbing energy from the atmosphere.

Once he was comfortable in maintaining his spiritual senses, Adam reduced his range to 100 meters around him, as it was too tiring and difficult to maintain as he moved using his spiritual senses to navigate.

It was just as he had expected and he felt as if he was actually moving because he could sense that he was approaching a mountain range through spiritual senses.

Yet Adam was still unsure how the Illusion Array worked because he actually felt and thought that he was moving around the forest before, but he actually moved in small circles and did not cover much ground.

"It seems he has known the advantages and disadvantages of using his spiritual senses as a pose to his physical senses and he has done much better than I thought" his master said to himself who was amazed by Adam's ability to adapt quickly and learn new things.

Seeing that Adam was able to pass through the Illusory Array using his spiritual senses, there was no point in his master wasting energy to use it on him and he returned to the dojo.

He was surprised by how easily Adam could find his way through the Illusory Array, but it was not the only defensive action his master had prepared over the years and he had no reason to use the other arrays he had set up yet.

Seeing that Adam had known what was going on and that he had learned more about his spiritual senses, the old man allowed her to go to the lake and clean herself as she wondered who and what Adam really was.
