Chapter 307: Chapter 105: Breaking Out of the Formation, Facing New Challenges

Xiao Jie didn’t know much about Arrays, but he was very familiar with computer programs, having managed a studio with a large number of computers that frequently encountered various software issues.

Xiao Jie had become quite the expert through his experiences.

If the computer’s specifications were not sufficient, and if the game settings were too high, it would easily lead to frame drops or even crashes.

Conversely, even if the computer had good specifications, opening multiple instances could still possibly lead to crashes.

Ultimately, a computer has an operational limit, and exceeding this limit would lead to a system crash.

Upon hearing Chen Tianwen describe it like this, Xiao Jie immediately took note—if this Array also had such computational limits, then he only needed to activate more special effects and run more programs, which should also be able to overload and crash the Array.

Upon hearing Xiao Jie’s deduction, Chen Tianwen was taken aback.

Wentian Wuji: Alright, your idea really does have merit. I can’t say it’s unfeasible. However, the computational power of an Immortal’s Array is hard to estimate. Generally speaking, the size of an Array shouldn’t be too large. At least, if I were to set it up, it would be at most as big as a soccer field.

But from the photo you showed me, the scale of this Array seems quite extraordinary. The Mana of that Immortal, I’m afraid, cannot be estimated by ordinary means.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: We needn’t worry about that. The larger the Array, the more Mana it needs, right? According to your understanding, what would be the "programs" that consume a lot of computational power?

Wentian Wuji: Generally, the basic functionality of trapping people in an Array wouldn’t consume too much, and Illusion Techniques may look earth-shattering but often don’t require much Mana. However, this Rain Summoning Technique seems to be a big spender.

Chen Tianwen explained further to Xiao Jie.

To produce various effects, the Array naturally needs energy. Arranging an immortal Array also adheres to materialism; simply placing some flags and drawing a few talismans without energy wouldn’t be enough.

The energy would either come from the Array’s creator performing Spells. However, this kind of situation could only be a temporary solution. Given that this Array had been ongoing for thousands of years, it was unlikely to be of this sort.

The second source would be leveraging nature’s spiritual energy and the Five Elements, vicissitudes of fengshui, sunlight, and other natural forces. The arranger would channel these powers into the Array to maintain its operation.

Since this Array was set up in a forest, it was likely a change caused by the interplay of the Five Elements.

The forest corresponds to Wood, and Water nurtures Wood. The energy consumption of this Rain Summoning Technique probably originated from this.

But since there were no rivers passing through this forest, the energy needed for this Rain Summoning Technique would necessarily require the Array itself to provide the power.

Upon hearing Chen Tianwen’s analysis, Xiao Jie felt even more confident.

With this in mind, he just needed to ignite as many fires as possible, continually activating the Array’s fire extinguishing function.

He didn’t believe that an Array set by an Immortal thousands of years ago could generate the Rain Summoning Technique indefinitely.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and he promptly bid farewell to Chen Tianwen before returning to the game.

Stepping out of the wooden house, the old man was lying in the clearing, basking in the sun.

"Did you go off in a huff, little brother? Hehe, don’t be discouraged. We have plenty of time. Just try it slowly. Eventually, you’ll be as resigned as I am, and then we can keep each other company."

"By the way, has there been any big news in the worldly society these years—never mind, don’t tell me now, wait until you’re done, then let’s share."

Xiao Jie ignored the old man’s babbling, "I think I’ve found a method to break it."

"Hehe, than let’s hear it." The old man looked amused.

"Have you ever tried lighting dozens of trees at the same time?"

The old man was stunned, "We haven’t. Since lighting one tree doesn’t work, what difference would lighting dozens make?"

"Hehe, the difference is huge. Tell me, is carrying a hundred pounds the same as carrying a thousand pounds?"

"How can an Immortal’s Spell be judged by human strength?"

"Hahaha, why not? Immortals are also human, even if their Spells are powerful, they also have limits. Otherwise, why would Immortals choose to hide? It shows that even Immortals have many things they can’t do in this world."

"Just like trapping me—I’ve already seen through the intricacies of this Array. It’s the Mist Formation with a smaller Rain Summoning Technique embedded in it, but since there are no rivers or streams here, the Array is like rootless water with limited power. Just ignite a dozen or so fires simultaneously, and this Array will be too busy to cope, eventually exposing its flaws."

Xiao Jie made stuff up on the spot, but the old man seemed genuinely perplexed while Xiao Jie continued, "Old man, I’ll just ask if you want to leave or not."

"I dream of it."

"We have nothing else to do, why not try my method?"

The face of the old man showed a struggle, "Fine, tell me what to do."

Xiao Jie directly tossed a Firewood Axe to him.

"Well, we start by Chopping Wood."

"Chopping wood? How much?"

"A lot, a lot." Xiao Jie said while also gearing up with a Yanyue Blade, ready to get started.

Three hours later.

Looking at the dozens of bundles of firewood in his backpack, and then at the piles of lumber in the old man’s yard, Xiao Jie nodded to himself, thinking that should be enough.

"My method is simple, Immortal’s Mana is not infinite, especially since this Array has endured for thousands of years, it will definitely prioritize preserving its own existence. It will certainly extinguish fires with all its might, so as long as there are enough fires lit simultaneously, so many that the Array cannot extinguish them all at the same time."
