A Demon's Journey

Chapter 162 - Ice Palace And Its Arrays



While Tiana's physique was transforming, Azaroth began to roam in the area and began to set some things up.

For a sect, just increasing Tiana's talent and her cultivation rank wouldn't be enough. Many things were required to create and manage a sect.

Among such things, the arrays were without a doubt the most significant demand. And it was quite natural for the arrays to be considered so crucial.

Using the arrays, the Ardor in the area could be significantly condensed in the area, thus increasing the absorption rate of the Ardor by the body. Moreover, the body would be nourished greatly if it stayed in an area with a rich concentration of Ardor.

The arrays were constructed to protect the sect. Now… There were many methods of using arrays to protect the sect.

The sensory array, suppression array, barrier array, killing array, illusionary array, transportation array, and teleportation array.

All these arrays could be used to safeguard a sect from enemies. And all of these were considered absolutely necessary for a sect.

Azaroth couldn't really construct all these arrays in such a short time. Also, even if he could, he wouldn't create these arrays for Tiana.

He was going to construct the Sensory Array, Illusionary array, the Barrier array, the Teleportation Array, and the Spiritual Gathering Array.

This Spiritual Gathering Array was quite natural. It would absorb more of the Yin Ardor than the Yang Ardor.

The Yin Ardor would be much more beneficial for Tiana and her disciples. It wasn't just because of their unique physiques but also the cultivation technique Azaroth had provided them.

He was sure that with all the things he had prepared, it wouldn't take more than 2 years for a mortal to cultivate to the peak of the 3 Star Rank.

The fact that Azaroth was a Demon Lord made things quite convenient for him. Now, he could use the Ardor to construct arrays. This was relatively swifter compared to when he was a 4 Star Warrior and had to manually draw an array.

For the next two days, Azaroth could be considered extremely busy.

During this time, three out of the four fox kits had awakened their bloodlines. Each one of these fox kits had a symbol on its forehead.

There was only one fox pub that remained unconscious.

Azaroth sensed a rather intense aura from this fox pub and noticed that that the symbol on his forehead was much more majestic than his siblings.

There was a smile on Azaroth's face as he understood. This fox pub was about to awaken an Emperor-Ranked Bloodline.

He was originally a bit worried about what beast to give to Tiana. But now, he realized he had been worried for nothing.

These Frozen Spirit Foxes could act as the guardian beasts of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

And as the sect mistress of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley, Tiana would possess the spirit beast that possessed the most potential and the strongest bloodline among these foxes.

The other kits could be given away to her loyal subordinates.

Soon, near the new Sacred Ice Aurora Valley center, an Ice Statue began to crack. The layer of ice finally broke, revealing a white fairy to this holistic world.

This fair lady was naturally Tiana.

Currently, her physique had completely transformed.

Her originally long chocolate black hair was now silver in color. Her long silver-white hair was even finer and purer than the white clouds of the sky. her glistening oceanic blue eyes  that used to show little naivety in them before were now filled with determination and aloofness

Her white pointed brows, indicating her rebirth from past to the person of the present, her dark, long eyelashes, which were fluttering like the wings of the butterfly.

Her wheatish-colored skin had turned even paler, whiter than the milk itself. Her beautiful jawline has turned sharper, adding an icy look to her previously cute face.

Her thin lips were akin to the fruit of strawberry itself, making any sane man get crazy in an instant.

Tiana's body now possessed an elegant and aloof demeanor to go along with her mature appeal. If Yrellea's body could be considered seductive enough for any man to go crazy, Tiana possessed a perfect body.

It was big where it should be big and small where it should be small.

Tiana was currently gazing at her surroundings that had completely changed in just two days.

Ahead of her eyes was a large palace that appeared to have been constructed by using pure Ice. That Ice Palace gave her a very majestic feeling.

She absent-mindedly began to walk towards it.

Currently, Azaroth was setting up some important arrays within the Ice Palace.

He sensed that Tiana had woken up and ignored this information before getting back to work.

He could meet with her later. Currently, he was at a critical point while constructing this array.

After nearly 2 hours, Azaroth began to walk towards Tiana.

During this time, she had been observing and admiring this Ice Palace from outside.

She also noticed that the Ardor around her had gotten a lot denser. Or maybe because of the evolution of her physique, she was more sensitive to the Ardor in the atmosphere and could absorb it even more easily.

Azaroth met up with Tiana and observed her changes.

Her Spirit was much stronger, and her cultivation had reached the 4 Star Rank.

Even though Tiana didn't know how to use her 4 Star Rank cultivation yet, but the fact remained that she was much stronger than before.

Once she stabilized her cultivation, she would be even stronger and possess smoother control over her Ardor.

Azaroth then spoke up, "You finally woke up. So, how do you feel?"

"Better and stronger than before," Tiana replied precisely how she felt right now.

"Good. Now, come inside. Let me show you the palace and brief you about a couple of things." Azaroth spoke.

Tiana naturally obeyed Azaroth's order and entered the Ice Palace along with him.

Azaroth then drew a spherical azure ball from his Spatial Ring.

This was a very large spherical ball and was much larger than Azaroth's hand.

Before Tiana could ask what it was, Azaroth threw it towards her. Tiana instinctively caught it and then felt an unreal amount of power within that Spherical Ball.

"This is the control center of the countless arrays I have drawn around this area. You can control all the arrays I constructed for your sect here with that Sphere. Leave a Spiritual Imprint on it. That way, even if it gets into someone else's hands, you would be the only one who could use it." Azaroth spoke casually.

Tiana was shocked to hear that the Spherical ball in her hands was such a precious thing!

She immediately left her Spiritual Imprint on that Spherical Ball.

Once that passed, Azaroth began to show different rooms and locations within the Ice Palace.

Like the main hall, meeting hall, conference hall, cultivation rooms, guest rooms, resources chamber, gravity chambers, alchemy room, and so on.

There were different kinds of cultivation rooms. Tiana was shocked to sense that some of the cultivation rooms could condense ten times more Ardor than outside.

This was absolutely shocking as she had felt that the Ardor in the Ice Palace was already much greater than outside.

However, Tiana understood it a bit when she heard from Azaroth that she required Spiritual Coins to use those cultivation rooms to their full potential.

Only when these cultivation rooms were being utilized to their full potential would they possess ten times the Ardor as compared to outside. Otherwise, it would typically be 3 times as compared to outside the room.

Once Azaroth had shown off the Ice Palace, he began to inform her about the arrays he had created around her Sacred Ice Aurora Valley.

The first great array he constructed was the Illusionary Array.

This Illusionary Array was to conceal the Ice Palace from the world. If someone came and tried to search for the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley, they would never be able to find it because of this Illusionary Array.

Only those who had Tiana's recognition could pass this Illusionary Array.

If Tiana didn't want someone to enter, they would be forced to return. Even if the other party was a 7 Star Warrior.

Naturally, this wasn't just because of the passive skill of the Illusionary Array. This Illusionary Array had another layer.

Once someone broke through the first layer and actually found the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect, Tiana could activate the Illusionary Array, and the person who had seen the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect would never actually be able to reach the sect.

He would begin to revolve in a circle while trying to reach the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

But still, if someone possessed enough skill to look past the illusions, Tiana could use the barrier to hold back the enemy and then activate the Teleportation Array to transport all the people inside the barrier to a completely new location.

Azaroth still had to pick a new site and then lay out the Teleportation Array's other end, but he wasn't concerned.. He didn't think Tiana would be forced to utilize the Teleportation Array any time soon.
