Chapter 537: Chapter 537 - 223: Tempering Longevity
The torrent of data flashed in his eyes, and under Qin Jin’s gaze, a series of wondrous halos composed of special symbols rose silently from around Candle Kite, causing her attire to change to formal wear.
Evidently, this was some kind of transmission, or perhaps a descent, where the primary consciousness took over the avatar.
However, unlike the complete descent in the Weiyang Star System, this seemed more like a transfer of consciousness.
Under Qin Jin’s gaze, Candle Kite’s eyes closed for several breaths and then opened, her gaze completely different.
She looked forward and smiled slightly: "Hello, Qin Jin."
"Hello."
Qin Jin replied.
Candle Kite’s avatar, who often accompanied Qin Jin and was lively in personality, and in the academy, Qin Jin also encountered the [Serious] Candle Kite. Each Candle Kite avatar had an extremely distinctive personality, excelling in a particular area.
In comparison, the primary consciousness now descending into the avatar seemed more like a composite of all Candle Kite personalities; if not for her ethereal form, countless people would mistake her for a living person, even more human than actual humans.
Thoughts flashed through Qin Jin’s mind.
In front of him, Candle Kite raised her hand to lightly touch the void, and the terminal on Qin Jin’s arm trembled slightly. Above the terminal, a progress value appeared, quickly filling up.
"On the way here, I have organized the specialized courses you need."
"From now on, just continue learning gradually."
After the primary consciousness descended, Candle Kite’s tone also changed a bit, becoming more gentle. The torrent of data in her eyes never stopped, as if still confirming other information. She spoke: "Qin Jin, since you wish to delve into arrays, the first thing you must do is understand the origin of arrays."
Qin Jin listened attentively.
The primary consciousness of Candle Kite had descended, evidently intending to conduct the first lesson directly. Under Qin Jin’s attention, she raised her hand and tapped lightly in the void, with images appearing: "The origin of arrays within the Federation initially involved the ancient times of the Ancestral Star, where historically, the large battlefields in the Cold Weapon Era were often the collisions between military arrays."
"On the battlefield, the side whose [array] remains unbroken gains the advantage."
As she spoke, related images flashed by, showing ancient battlefields where two armies played a strategic game, forming arrays to engage in offensive and defensive maneuvers.
"To this day, military arrays still exist, and through continual iterations, they have indeed become one direction of [Extraordinary Array] applications, widely used in the Military Department, able to achieve effects such as [United as One]."
She spoke eloquently and then shifted the topic: "From the mundane to the extraordinary, just like the Federation’s Martial Arts Path, the Federation initially acquired related information on extraordinary arrays from the [Civilization Legacy] that truly let the Federation step into the Star Sea."
"However, what really propelled the Federation in this domain, allowing continuous deep exploration, is the Star Sea itself."
"Star Sea?"
"Precisely."
Candle Kite nodded gently: "The Endless Star Sea contains countless special regions, many places are inherently unique and can already be called [arrays]."
"This gave the Federation endless inspiration, allowing breakthrough after breakthrough on this path, spawning countless directions."
"Consider the Martial Arts Family."
Her voice was long: "The Federation Martial God, when piloting Civilization Treasure-Level Mecha, can even allow combat power to complete a great realm leap, advancing directly from the Eighth Realm to the Ninth Realm."
"The extraordinary technology contained within also shares the shadow of arrays."
Qin Jin understood.
"In your solo route this time, there are such innately array-related locations. Once you truly engage with arrays, they will bring you different inspiration."
Inside the Starship, one speaks, one listens, one teaches, one learns.
As Martial Abyss’s artificial intelligence, Candle Kite is deservedly qualified to be called learned, also rightfully a best teacher, providing examples and transformations during explanations to help Qin Jin understand quickly.
The content she spoke of was complex, since the essence of [array] requires continuous accumulation, needing ample knowledge. Yet, aided by the comprehension from Enlightenment Treasure Skill’s blessing, it wasn’t limited to the cultivation aspect alone — Qin Jin’s understanding was rapid, truly complementary.
The Xingzhou Ship navigated through the Star Sea.
Leaving the Star Domain where Desolate Star’s window was located, the surroundings gradually became lively, with the frequent sight of Starships jumping and leaving brilliant celestial streams in the Star Sea. Targeted navigation was determined, with the goal directed towards the Wanxiang Star System.
Inside the Starship.
Qin Jin concentrated within, absorbing and digesting all the information he acquired.
Time passed.
Unnoticeably, at a certain moment, Candle Kite’s tone subtly changed.
Like waking from a great dream, Qin Jin looked ahead, and Candle Kite’s attire had returned to its original form. Her face bore a lively smile and she quickly spoke: "The primary consciousness has completed the transmission of organized courses to me."
"Captain, for the upcoming days, our daily learning time will increase somewhat to leave ample time for this course."
"Alright."
After nodding in agreement, he pondered and said: "What was that just now?"
Having delved deeply moments ago, he hadn’t noticed, but now that the learning session ended, he clearly perceived how focused he had been, completely undistracted by external factors.
"That was an extraordinary array capable of cleansing the mind, allowing one to concentrate deeply."
Candle Kite’s smile grew: "In higher level cultivation chambers, similar extraordinary arrays often exist. The Cultivation Chamber inside the Xingzhou Ship also possesses such an array; however, after the primary consciousness descended, its effect was infinitely enhanced."
