Ning Qi and his companions discovered a pavilion where the oppressive spatial pressure vanished, offering them respite. They decided to clean the pavilion themselves for cultivation. Ning Qi then explored the second floor, finding an iron chest that repelled his initial probe. Inside, he discovered a black sword radiating immense evil energy, identified as containing "Infinite Evil Qi." The Saint Ancestor and Wei Immortal joined him, sensing the potent evil aura and recognizing the chest's material.

Ning Qi slowly stood up and took the iron sword out of the box.

He felt the coldness emanating from the blade.

"That’s right."

Ning Qi nodded with a smile and said calmly, "Indeed, there’s Infinite Evil Qi on this blade."

"You should step back a little."

The Saint Ancestor and Wei Immortal instinctively took two steps back upon hearing this.

"A sword forged from Chaos Iron, infused with Infinite Evil Qi!"

Wei Immortal frowned, staring at the sword in Ning Qi’s hand.

He murmured.

"This is something tailor-made for me."

"It perfectly complements my Immortal Demon Power."

Ning Qi shook the long sword in his hand, revealing a hint of a smile: "I didn’t expect Buzhou Mountain, as a former teleportation site, to still be hiding something like this."

"I wonder what else is upstairs."

Wei Immortal suddenly became interested and wanted to go up and take a look.

"Let’s go, together."

The Saint Master was also interested.

"Alright, let’s go."

Ning Qi put away the sword, refraining from studying it closely for the moment.

Instead, he followed the other two upstairs.

When they reached the upper floor, they saw two wooden bookshelves.

But unfortunately, they were already empty.

Apparently, someone had taken everything.

"This place might have held Cultivation Technique ancient books before."

Ning Qi glanced around, revealing a look of regret: "Alright, there’s nothing here anymore."

"We’ve gained some things too. Now I want to research this Array and see how it operates."

"With this Array, I think we could make great use of it."

"Oh? You want to study this Array?"

The Saint Master, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but look serious: "You saw in the Martial Arts Arena, getting up there is hard enough, let alone studying it."

"That’s true, but can’t I study it here?"

Ning Qi said as he directly opened the window and looked down.

The two of them also came over and looked down.

From here, every corner of the Martial Arts Arena was clearly visible.

The Array on it could also be seen clearly.

"Alright, you can continue to explore with them."

"Leave this to me."

Ning Qi sat comfortably on the window frame, looking down.

"Okay, we’re leaving then."

"Be careful."

The two agreed, and then went downstairs.

After all, there was nothing left here.

Ning Qi continued to sit on the window watching down, soon seeing the two leave.

They began to support each other, stumbling out of the courtyard.

For a moment, Ning Qi was left alone here.

Ning Qi sat alone on the third-floor window, watching the Array patterns on the Martial Arts Arena below.

The Martial Arts Arena, paved with Chaos Stone, inherently exuded a pressure.

"How does this Array operate?"

Ning Qi watched earnestly.

He carefully observed the fluctuations of the Array upon the Chaos Stone.

Trying to discern a pattern.

Yet the more he watched, the more complicated it seemed, making it difficult for him to start.

"Just watching like this won’t work."

After pondering for a while, Ning Qi suddenly stood up.

Since this Array can induce spatial pressure, let’s try attacking it.

To stimulate it.

The immortal power and Magic Power within Ning Qi instantly operated.

Transforming into a gray force.

It shot towards the Array on the Martial Arts Arena below.

"Whoosh!"

A force imbued with Immortal Demon Power shot down, striking the Array patterns on the Martial Arts Arena.

"Buzz!"

The Martial Arts Arena shook violently.

The initially blurred Array patterns suddenly lit up.

A formidable spatial pressure erupted abruptly.

The pavilion even shook a little.

Upon closer inspection, a water-like wave visibly flashed across the Martial Arts Arena.

Ning Qi pried off a piece of wood from the window frame and tossed it down.

"Slash!"

The wood hit the Martial Arts Arena and instantly shattered into dust.

Clearly, it was directly obliterated by this powerful pressure.

"Indeed effective!"

Ning Qi clearly saw, at the moment of his attack.

Especially when the wood fell.

The patterns at the hit point emerged abruptly.

Numerous flowing lines and mysterious changing trajectories unfolded before him.

During this process, Ning Qi captured the Array’s patterns.

"Great! Again!"

Ning Qi no longer held back, casting his Immortal Demon Power continuously.

"Buzz!"

"Boom!"

Each attack made the Array patterns flicker.

The trajectory on the Chaos Stone repeated under the stimulation of Ning Qi’s Immortal Demon Power.

Ning Qi’s Divine Sense kept scanning.

He memorized every lit pattern in his mind, refusing to slack even a bit.

After an unknown period, the continuous consumption of Immortal Demon Power made Ning Qi feel tired.

But he became increasingly excited because those scattered patterns were forming the embryo of an Array in his mind.

"Huh?"

Ning Qi stopped.

He looked at the Martial Arts Arena, noticing after his repeated attacks, the Array began to dim.

However, this Array had already been outlined in his mind.

"This is..."

Ning Qi murmured to himself, saying, "A Tai Chi Diagram?"

He closed his eyes, continuing to perceive.

The Yin and Yang poles on the Chaos Stone rotated with each other.

"And more."

Ning Qi looked at the Chaos Stone and continued: "Are these Water Patterns?"

Gradually, he found inside the Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish’s circulation, there were wave-like patterns.

Water Patterns layered and intertwined.

They indefinitely amplified the spatial pressure gathered by the Tai Chi Diagram. Moreover, through the refraction of Water Patterns, this pressure was further enhanced.

This way, the space here was cloaked in gravity.

"These Water Pattern designs are crucial, without them, just this Array alone would be useless."

"That means, they complement each other."

Ning Qi frowned again: "Besides, these Water Patterns contain Dao charm, resembling my Great Dao Array Fruit."

"If I could comprehend this, the Array would be easily understood."

"Furthermore, it could help my Tao Fruit to advance a bit further."

"Tai Chi on the outside, Water Pattern within! Such grand design, it’s impossible to discover without a careful look."

At this moment, Ning Qi had memorized the complete Array diagram in his mind.

"Although I don’t fully understand its entire principle, experimenting should make things clear."

Ning Qi leaped down from the window and found an empty space back in the pavilion.

"Now, it’s time to attempt replicating it!"

Ning Qi waved his hand, leaving a mark with Immortal Demon Power on the ground.

"Let’s start with this Tai Chi Diagram."

He recalled the Array’s outline, controlling the Immortal Demon Power, meticulously tracing it on the ground.

However, what appeared to be a simple Tai Chi Diagram, when illustrated by the Array’s flow, turned out to be complex.

The first attempt failed after just a few breaths.

"Not right."

Ning Qi shook his head, wiping it away with a wave of his hand.

For the second time, he adjusted the pressure and angle of the depiction.

Yet halfway through, it didn’t feel correct.

The rotating pattern within the Array remained elusive.

"Still not right..."

Ning Qi waved his hand again.

Attempt after attempt, he lost count of how many times he tried.

Various forms of Tai Chi Diagrams remained on the ground.

By now, he was utterly immersed in the world of drawing Tai Chi Diagrams.

No one knows how long had passed, when Ning Qi once again crafted a Tai Chi Diagram, it unexpectedly began to ripple.

The inherent charm began to reveal itself.

"This time it’s interesting!"

Ning Qi observed the Tai Chi Diagram on the ground, smiling slightly: "After all this time, I’ve finally got the form."

He made slight adjustments and started to imitate the Water Pattern inside the Tai Chi Diagram.

After another two-hour period, a rough Array diagram was successfully illustrated by him.

He looked outside, thinking it was pretty decent.

"It’s done!"

Ning Qi clapped his hands, though a bit unsatisfied: "At least I’ve replicated it, let’s go again."
