Vaanavan also send off the rock demons to the other side of the forest after some talk there were few qi realm experts should be waiting for the guests the rock demons couldn't enter the plain yet he had to arrange the natural array accordingly before they could freely enter besides, he didn't mind them waiting outside little bit.
The boulder heads were very daring and scheming so he wouldn't bother if they had to wait for him to go back and tempering the array but before that he had to look around the human region for couple of hours aside from the plain he didn't know much about the human region at all.
[Host, return back to the cave you shouldn't aimlessly wandering around everywhere, we have to highly cautious about any unexpected changes listen to my words return to the cave at once]
Vaanavan curled his lips hearing it's advice, he slowly started walk towards the outside of the clearance he was walking the path as if he was tracing back the rock demons route here completely ignoring the system continuous pestering.
It's not that system doesn't have the power to brought back the avatar, Vaanavan insistence on trying it at least couple of hours he was also little curious about the other minor races living in the human region from his calculation they should have come here to watch the good show.
But no one followed the rock demons here which he find it quite hard to believe, why was this the case? should not they come and Watch the fight? he could tell few scouts of the minor races might have died in the hands of rock demons and some might died in the hand of the patrol but even system didn't manage to understand what was going on.
His each and every step was simple but at the same time light and fast he was covering dozens of meeters in every few steps soon he walked out of the clearing into dull forest it wasn't dark forest but another famous forest of human region the whole forest occupied by three powerful minor races.
The rock demons accupied territory was further north from the forest they have crossed the forest to reach the previous meeting point, the forest wasn't resourceful like dark forest but give enough resources to occupy by three minor races.
[Host! I object your actions we, shouldn't alert your trace to other races this minor races wouldn't hesitate a little bit to sell out any information about humans that includes yourself, you obsolutely shouldn't let anyone see you]
The system continued with its nagging, as if was afraid something really might happen, Vaanavan couldn't help but roll his eyes at the situation, he clearly understand his circumstance then why was this system keep nagging him like he doesn't know anything else the system told informed him the fate of human race become more powerful after the rock demons join under their banner now he could influence their fate as well.
This was why he didn't afraid of them betraying the human race he was temporarily take over their fate if they have some nafarious plan about stabbing then he could easily kill them system could even Robb them off their fate and would make them think it would be nice If he killed them there and then instead of putting them through this suffering.
The forest has many spiritual trees in it, the soil seems now rich with spiritual energy, it was clear to see everything was it was a recent development due to system meddling and Norda's favor the whole human region benefited lot of the energy of heaven and earth continue to increase in the human region he smiled silly thinking their progress.
Naturally his first stop was the previous territory of rock demons, he learned from the six special experts they left the energy vein untouched unlike their appearance and action they didn't like to act rashly they left the energy vein under crudely constructed array personaly of the eight special realm experts.
They left that vein untouched after sensing the slowly spreading high level energy from the plain, they thought some natural treasure or energy stone mine appeared if it wasn't for the natural defense array even other races could locate the source of energy leakage even then due to their high level affinity towards earth element their perspective was terrifyingly high so they left the energy vein for their future generation to recuperate hidden under their formation.
After he casually enquiring about these things they volunteereally spoke about this even propose to bring them here or if he wanted to they express their willingness to guide him to their territory, it was in their part to show good will naturally he wasn't going to reject it if he planted in the plain it would in few decades turn into energy stone mine or other natural treasure.
Vaanavan acted according to his word he would now and then would stop and observe the minor races or ferocious beasts but didn't interact with them he also took a note of the patrol team and their route out of curiosity he was keeping an eye on their routine and performance.
He could tell with just a look all of them are in mystic gate realm warriors no one below mystic gate realm allowed in the patrol team, the team captain was in the verge of breaking through to qi realm and all of them patrol a certain area he noticed there was few gaps and some problems with such inefficient methods of patrolling he was keenly noting them for later arrangements as a person held officer position in his previous life and learning war strategy he know what to do about this gaps.
It didn't take him even an hour to reach the rock demon territory he didn't ask the system to help him locate the vein he purposely didn't ask the rock heads either but intend to take it as a challenge for training his senses and skills, he reached out with his perception probed around the surrounding instead of simply sent his perception to the ground.
He didn't completely relay on his perception as well he studied the suspectable places with naked eye and other senses from the word of six special experts they put up a concealment and befuddlement array to their understanding so its impossible to find them with natural means.
One couldn't tell what was real and what was illusion if one couldn't differentciate the two then they couldn't find the energy vein no matter what, The eight of them connected the array with the energy vein so they weren't going to run out of energy always passively activite.
They thought of counter measure to find them they broke a artifact in to eight part engraving their spiritual and energy mark and refined the said artifacts like a key who ever has this eight artifact would able to disable or enter the array accordingly with their decisions.
Or a expert of that special level to check the place with their earth element affinity, to find it.
Vaanavan slowly wandered around the area in careful manner while asking some of his theory and doubts about such a array to system successfully annoying it because of his continuous nagging the system interrupted his blabbering with annoyance.
[Why are you asking me all this nonsense dont you have eye powers to see through the illusion or seeing into ground directly check where the energy vine was growing, If you want to try something new then use your own means don't nagg me and you don't answer my question earlier?]
Vaanavan scowled when he heard the scolding retorted "What is wrong with trying something new, why is that you go against my every decision and idea" the system scoffed hearing that.
[What is wrong with your unconventinal ideas, why does it have to be done like this don't you think it's easy to use what you are capable of this would take less time than that besides Host were you expecting something this unconventinal happen don't asking more time later I'll forcefully drag you if I have to ]
Vaanavan shook his head in exasperation he couldn't talk reason with it he was just trying to develop his perception was it that hard to guess illusion technique or not even that rare in this world much less in the universe it was given that once one will and perception tempered to certain stage they could see through illusions so why can't he do it.
He was circling around the territory trying to pin point the exact location by eliminating the area while marking the suspecting areas, if he couldn't find it via perception then he could easily follow this in fact it wasn't the only way he could find the formation.
Vaanavan could also set up a counter formation in this suspecting area he has doubt of or a large one to force the illusion formation to crack up he know even though it was easy like using his eye power but the resources could be waste.
So he was stubborn on honing his perception to some extent, it would certainly come in handy as a cultivator the benefits of having perception didn't end there so he know the system also certainly aware of this it just being paranoid and lazy self thats all.
Vaanavan felt a strange sensation while he walked at certain area but it was very fleeting moment but he was sure he felt it was there not his imagination and concentration on that area walked around while observing that area after that he suddenly stopped at one point slowly raising his hand infront of him releasing his energy steady manner the place around him shake for a brief moment the scene in front if him changed into something else he catched glimpse of it.
Vaanavan smiled as he in next few minutes checking the array while walking away, he didn't stop keep checking the array at one point he released even more powerful pressure and energy forcefully broke the array, the scene in front of him changed.
"Didn't I tell you it was easy to find this array it wasn't at my level I can find many flaws" he told to the system about his opinion on their array "It was already great they can develop such a formation on their own" Vaanavan didn't look down on them but acknowledge their talent for achieving something like this.
"Okay let's dig out this energy vein, Umm system where would you put it it seems very big" Vaanavan asked seeing the thing it was his first time seeing such a thing.
