Ji Yun and Yu Mengxi left the food court and reached Nyra's house.
"Junior Brother Ji Yun, Array path is one of the supreme paths of the world. Supreme paths are the most difficult to learn and comprehend, they mainly focus on fusing your chakra in your path to create, discover and develop something new with your effort to improve, attack or defend yourself. There was also an ancient saying 'Every path's in the world are created because of chakra, the paths exist because chakra exist and paths are used to assist or develop chakra".
"For example, Alchemy path that creates elixirs and pills which help our chakra cultivation and Forging path which helps to increase our combat strength.
Most people choose the 'supreme path' because of the word 'supreme', but without sufficient knowledge, good discernment, perception and high-level comprehension one cannot even attain a 2nd stage of the supreme path".
Hearing Yu Mengxi's explanation, Ji Yun was little doubtful about the complexity of the supreme paths; even though he thought Yu Mengxi was exaggerating a little about the paths Ji Yun noted the points carefully. Seeing the doubtful look on Ji Yun, Yu Mengxi become infuriated,
"Junior brother Ji Yun, are you thinking I am exaggerating about the paths?. I am not going to explain anything to you hereafter". Yu Mengxi angrily prepared to leave but stopped by Ji Yun's apology.
"Senior sister Mengxi, I am sorry. I am not doubtful about your words; I am doubting the world itself, maybe because I haven't seen the greatness of the world". Ji Yun awkwardly explained, but what he said is the truth.
Hearing Ji Yun's explanation, Yu Mengxi also convinced because he didn't even know about 8 great families when they met for the first time.
"Junior brother Ji Yun, you haven't even seen the tip of this world's power and wonderfulness; It exceeds your imagination and understanding of anything you know until now. You better visit the library daily and get a clear outlook about this world, you can read this books to know further about various paths". Yu Mengxi seriously told and passed two books regarding various paths.
When both of them are discussing the various paths, Nyra also came to the hall and listened to both of their conversations. Nyra also acknowledged the facts stated by Yu Mengxi to Ji Yun, 'even though she is lacking a little in her cultivation, her understanding towards Array path is excellent and the possibility of her reaching the master stage in her array path within a short amount of time is also very high'.
"Ji Yun, what Mengxi said is correct. You can't underestimate any of the Supreme or normal paths, if you are interested in learning Array of Paths, I will teach you about the basics". Nyra walked towards them and said in a gentle voice. Seeing Nyra both Ji Yun and Yu Mengxi greeted her,
'Master'
"Greeting, Elder Nyra"
"Master, You don't have to teach him anything. Just give him some books he will learn it by himself", Yu Mengxi quietly sulked.
Nyra only shook her head and looked at Ji Yun, "Ji Yun since you reached middle level of the mortal realm stage 1 and can even defeat chakra users of stage 3 without any guidance, you have good talent and potential but you shouldn't get it to your head. There are many geniuses in the world turned ashes because of their genius titles and arrogance so you have to work hard and preserve to become someone great".
"I understand, Elder Nyra". Ji Yun seriously nodded his head and recalled the sayings of earth, 'Never let fame/ success get to your head because it will eventually destroy you'.
"Elder Nyra, may I trouble you to explain me about the various paths and what to choose, even though I decided to learn Array of paths its because I thought Array is very powerful compared to other paths". Ji Yun asked. Elder Nyra nodded her head and appreciated Ji Yun's calm personality and his through thinking before making any decision.
"Let me tell you about paths in a single line, Supreme paths are more powerful, only if its used by the skilled person; Normal paths are less powerful than supreme path but if one's understanding reached a certain level in their path it will become more powerful and beneficial than a supreme path.
For Example, Poison path if one's understanding reaches master level in their path they can easily kill any practitioner under Mortal realm stage 6. I know someone who specializes in poison art with his mortal realm stage 7 strength he can easily anyone of Stage 8".
"So, every path has their own value, You should thoroughly research about various paths before choosing a path for yourself". Nyra patiently explained. Ji Yun nodded his head in understanding, thought for while and asked Nyra,
"Will I be able to choose more than one path?".
"You can, but I advise you against it. Normally you won't have time for your cultivation and practicing just one path will take every time, so if you add one path to yourself, it will result in your own destruction". Nyra replied.
"Elder Nyra, I decided to learn Supreme Path of Array. If the Array path becomes not suitable for me, I will change it once I discovered". Ji Yun thoughtfully replied.
"OK, I will explain the basic description about Array. There's a reason why Array Path is considered most difficult of all Supreme path. Array Path is not as simple as it looks in outside, Array is simply an arrangement of different techniques like formation, seal, and talisman". Hearing Nyra's explanation, Ji Yun is amazed by the contents. Nyra continued,
"Array master means you should be skilled in every aspect of it, but nowadays most of them learn only one of the techniques; Even in our academy many people learn formation but neglects seal and talisman concept". Nyra explained with a longing look. Seeing the eager look in Elder Nyra's eyes, Ji Yun was sure she enjoyed learning and discovering different array concepts.
"Elder Nyra, what level are you in Path of Array?". Ji Yun couldn't help but ask.
"My Master is Tier 3 Array Grandmaster and also most skilled in whole sky continent, no one can beat my master in the field of Array's". Yu Mengxi joined the conversation and proudly stated.
"Silly Girl, don't flatter your master too much. I am not that skilled, it's just that you didn't know about the vastness of array techniques; when you reach my stage you will understand". Nyra rubbed Yu Mengxi's head with eyes full of gentleness. From both master and disciple interaction, he can see their relationship are much more as parent and child.
"Ji Yun, Mengxi, let me share my recent experience, recently I ventured into one of the ruin sites. It's completely different from what I experienced my whole life, my recent break through to the gold stage(Mortal stage 9) is also because of that. At first, I was able to break the arrays around ruins with little effort but when I entered the outer region then only I begin to understand what truly array means. There was one type of array combined with only Seals and talismans without any formations but I wasn't able to break the array no matter how much I tried, even the attack of the Half step sage couldn't break the seals and talismans. Eventually, our expedition into the ruin site ended in failure".
"Here Ji Yun, this is my personal notes about Array Path; I wrote this with my complete understanding and insights, it will be helpful till you reach grandmaster realm but if you want to improve further you shouldn't rely on this you should research and comprehend various array's yourself". Elder Nyra handed Ji Yun large notes.
"Master, you can't simply give such valuable things to him. He is not your disciple or student". Yu Mengxi complained to Nyra in a mosquito voice.
"Its just a notes and more importantly I wrote this so that some qualified persons can learn. I addition, he saved your life so he is qualified to learn my Array techniques".
"Junior Brother Ji Yun, if you didn't reach Student stage in Array path within 2 months even after learning my master's notes you should find a hole and bury yourself. Let's go, Master". Yu Mengxi said in a mocking tone and left with Elder Nyra. Ji Yun was left alone in the hall and looked at the books and notes provided by both Yu Mengxi and Elder Nyra, he also silently left the hall and entered his room to read the books.
During his 3rd day of shelter in Nyra's house, Chief Elder Yong's assistant came to provide him the New student Identity token and the room key for his accommodation. Ji Yun also said his goodbye to Yu Mengxi and Elder Nyra, left to his new accommodation room.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
From that day, Everyday Ji Yun visits the library to get some books about medicines, array and chakra beast. Like this twenty days passed.
His strength is also improving rapidly due to the sync of two divine grade techniques, His physical strength alone reached a terrifying level of 20,000Kg by constantly nourished by sun and moon chakra, even his muscles, internal organs, and bones are greatly strengthened. Combined with his chakra strength of 8000kg as he reached the peak mortal realm stage 1 and has the strength of 28000kg.
Normal chakra users will only have 3000Kg of strength in the 1st level of the mortal realm, but Ji Yun's purity of chakra is several times higher than normal people and so his strength is also close to 8000kg in Peak mortal realm stage 1.
Ji Yun also read in books that the strength are classified in each level, like Peak stage 1 Mortal realm chakra users will have 3000kg, 2nd stage chakra users 6000kg till 9th stage chakra users 800000kg of chakra strength and it varies according to the Chakra users by techniques, physical strength, skills and type of paths but the maximum strength one will have at mortal realm stage 1 is 10000kg
Ji Yun also read in one of the history books, a genius has cultivated his physical body and chakra at the same time with powerful techniques and skills to the terrifying level of 12,000kg in his Mortal realm stage 1. But compared to Ji Yun they are only so-so, lately, Ji Yun also begins to understand that his physical strength will soon enter the bottleneck.
'Its soon going to be one month since I joined the golden academy of talents, Its seems like my cultivation reached the peak Mortal realm 1', with simple leap he can reach mortal realm stage 2 but Ji Yun wasn't in a hurry to enter 2nd stage of the mortal realm, he wants to further solidify his chakra and physical body to the utmost limit.
But he has a feeling his foundation is strong enough for him to break through to next stage but he didn't want to mistake anything. So today, he planned on visiting Elder Nyra and ask her opinions, he also hasn't visited them for nearly 10 days.
Little to no time for his cultivation and understanding the array path. Even though he has Elder Nyra's notes and different books from the library he hasn't attempted for the student examination for Array path. He wanted to perfect his theory knowledge to his maximum.
'There is only 10 day remains until the start of academy classes for the new batch, but today is a special day that is an Entrance test for new students'. Ji Yun also wants to know about the type of examination held and watch entrance test for the new students like himself.
'Let's first visit Elder Nyra's house and then I will go and watch the examination'. Ji Yun silently considered and made his way to Nyra's house.
