In a secluded courtyard within the Heart-Examining Abbey.
Yin Yan's brows were tightly knitted as he worked the array disc in his hands. Several small flags inscribed with runes stood at staggered intervals, forming a "Rising Sun Array." The yang qi within it was so thin it seemed almost nonexistent, flickering in and out-a far cry from the abundant, harmonious yang energy he had envisioned.
Never mind suppressing demons and evil spirits; it could barely keep itself from collapsing.
"Strange. The array nexus is correct, and so are the runes. Why is the yang qi so weak it's practically nonexistent?"
Yin Yan muttered to himself, unable to make sense of it no matter how he pondered.
He had once witnessed the power of this "Rising Sun Array" at Di Yang's place. It could easily kill low-tier wandering souls with a shock of its power, producing a considerable surge of yang qi.
After obtaining the array, he had poured his efforts into studying it and even improving it, only to discover that running it on yin-type numinous vitality yielded next to no yang qi.
It was tasteless to eat, yet a pity to discard.
What Yin Yan did not know was that when Di Yang had deployed the array, its core power source had been the Dharma Coins bestowed by Chu Mo, not converted yin-type numinous vitality from this world. As creations of a Dao Lord, Dharma Coins were practically an all-purpose energy source, capable of driving yin and yang or transforming the five elements without difficulty.
That fundamental difference put the arrays' effects as far apart as heaven and earth.
