Array Deployment Dao

After taking it, Lu Feng examined the patterns on the jade shard in his hand. They seemed utterly without pattern or order, yet a closer look made him feel slightly dizzy.

The patterns were strange and solemn, condensed and archaic. Their beginnings and endings revealed no sharp edges; no matter how he looked at it, it resembled a beautiful work of art.
