Chapter 32: "Dispelling the Array"
Little Roar had originally intended to say something, however, looking at Sima You Yue's intense dedication, the words that were on the tip of his tongue were forced back down. He decided to involve himself in looking around the surroundings to see if there was anything that resembled the array core.
"This place is really too weird. There isn't even any sun, where is this light even coming from?" Little Roar inquired, as he stood alone on top of a stick of bamboo, and looked at how the light that was coming off the bamboo turned his pure white fur, green.
Light?
Sima You Yue heard what Little Roar had said; a miraculous radiation of light. These bamboos were freely giving off light, this meant that these bamboo were one and the same. If they could find a bamboo that did not give off any light, it was possible that that bamboo was actually the array core!
"Ha, Little Roar, let's look for a bamboo that doesn't give off light!" She said, facing Little Roar who was behind her, as stood up and patted off the leaves that had fallen on her body.
"A bamboo that doesn't give off light? Why would we look for that?" Little Roar asked as he flew over.
"It's possible that it is the array core." Sima You Yue explained, "Anyway, let's just look for it together."
"Okay."
As such, the both of them wandered around the forest once again. This time, looking for a bamboo that did not give off any light; their goal was obvious in but a moment."
"Master, I can feel it." A very silent Little Spirit suddenly voiced out.
"Little Spirit, what do you feel?" Sima You Yue said, as she halted her steps.
"This place contains the aura of a Spirit Stone." Little Spirit replied.
" Spirit stone, is it a stone that's similar to you?" Asked Sima You Yue.
"How could you possibly compare that kind of thing to me. I'm a Sacred Spirit Stone you know, there's only one of me in the entire universe. I can be tempered into a Spirit Pearl and can contain the heaven and earth, while those kind of dregs can only be used to raise some varieties of spirits, at most. It's impossible for them to support life." Little Spirit said proudly.
"Then what are you so worked up for?" "Are you stupid! While this may be a Mystical Array, although it has been set up with the methods of an array, in fact this array core is useful for things related to spirits. It is only in this way that they formation would reach it's peak potential." Little Spirit said.
"So you're saying that it's possible that the Spirit Stone could be the location of the formation core." Sima You Yue said a little agitatedly.
"Hmph, it's a good thing you're not that stupid." Little Spirit replied.
"Since you can feel its aura, are you able to pinpoint its specific location?" Sima You Yue asked.
"If I was on the outside of the array, I would be able to directly search for it. However, this is the inside of the array. I can only feel that it's close by, within a range of 50 metres. You can look for it yourself." After Little Spirit finished saying this, he refused to utter another word.
Sima You Yue looked around. This segment of bamboo was not very dense. Compared to other areas, this place was relatively sparse.
She scrutinised every single stalk of bamboo and saw that every single one was glowing. There wasn't even a single stalk that fit with the description that she had.
"Could it be that my speculation was wrong?" Sima You Yue touched her chin, doubting her own idea.
"Yue Yue, maybe the array core doesn't lie within the bamboo." Little Roar offered.
"Not the bamboo?"
"Yup, if the formation core really is the Spirit Stone, it will probably continue to resemble a stone, right." Little Roar postulated.
"Ha, that's possible. Let us look over the stones one again." Sima You Yue hugged Little Roar; man and beast deciding to look over each little stone one by one. However, this place didn't even contain a single pebble.
Looking at the only large rock in this entire place, Sima You Yue finally set her sights upon it.
"Could this be it?" She walked towards the stone and walked 2 circles around it. She felt that this stone appeared a little different from the one just now. She stretched out her hand to touch it and it had a similar chill to the bamboo.
"Yue Yue, is this it?" Little Roar flew over to ask.
"Nope." Sima You Yue said. "If this was the array core, it would be a real item and would not have the same kind of ice-cold chill that the bamboo has."
"So, the core is also not here?" Little Roar said with a little disappointment.
