Jill was not wrong about it being impossible to modify or try and alter the dungeon prevention array. It was indeed a waste of time to do that. So what was the experiment I was going to conduct about? The experiment was for me to check the new array formation recipe I came up with to detect the formation of the soul energy vein. Most of the theory was based on the dungeon prevention array but the recipe I came up with was not that different from it but it was a different approach.

Using the stored data of the artificial soul energy vein and the dungeon prevention array recipe, I simulated numerous experiments using the Hive AI to see how the dungeon prevention array would stop the formation of artificial soul energy veins within its range of effect. The results of these experiments were so valuable that Jill would not hesitate to kill for them. For her to gather the same data, it would take decades and lots of resources considering that she was able to accurately determine how to create an artificial soul energy vein. I was able to uncover the mystery of artificial soul energy vein creation with my soul pupils but the same luxury was not possible for Jill. First, she would have to spend decades figuring out how to create an artificial soul energy vein and another decade conducting experiments to gather the data I had in my hands right now.

If Jill had the data I had in my hand right now maybe she too could achieve miracles unfortunately for her, she did not but I did. The reason why this data was important was that it gave us information about which ingredients to use to get a particular reaction.

For example, If the dungeon prevention array was able to prevent dungeon formation by stopping the soul energy vein formation then how did it achieve that without affecting the quantity of soul energy in its area of effect? Soul energy veins were basically threads of the soul pathway containing the purest and most concentrated soul energy, so how was the dungeon prevention array able to stop these soul pathways without affecting the soul energy concentration in the atmospheres of the area? People who can afford dungeon prevention arrays are powerful, they need a soul energy  rich area to continue their routine active soul control cultivation. The only reason the dungeon prevention array was able to withstand the test of time was that it was able to stop the dungeon formation in an area without affecting the soul energy concentration in the air of the area. The secret behind this effect of the dungeon prevention array was as a set of ingredients, when used in a specific sequence they were able to achieve something the array of this time would consider a miracle, warding off Soul energy veins.

Now the secret to that warding off the soul energy vein was mine, I could think of numerous possibilities to use it. Out of those numerous possibilities currently, I was focusing on the one I call Soul energy vein summoning. If successful, I will have the all soul energy of the world at my fingertips.

I had big ambitions for this discovery but for now, I will settle for using it to create an array that could detect the formation of a soul energy vein. This was all I needed to one-up Jill.

But there was a problem, knowing Jill if I succeed then she will do everything in her power to get an answer to how I did achieve it. But considering the wide range of applications of this discovery and not to mention the cash that would flow in, I decided to do what the predecessor who created the Dungeon prevention array did, he had created his array in such a way that any that his creation clouds only work the way he intended for it too. If anybody tried to be smarter then the array would collapse even with the slightest change. Despite being so volatile, the dungeon prevention array had one of the highest stability when it was set up perfectly according to the recipe. The secret behind this was within the ingredients used. Studying the dungeon formation array was a big eye-opener. It changed how I viewed the ingredients and their impact on array formation and card creation. With this research, my card creation and array mastery had made progress by leaps.

From this I could only take away one thing, I haven't been using the soul pupils to their full potential. And considering the things the creator of the dungeon prevention array was able to do without the soul pupils, I had a huge respect for him. Now, this predecessor was someone I would not mind calling my teacher. Though that was not possible for various reasons, I still could learn a lot from the work of the ancient array masters. And knew exactly a place to find them, the central academic city.

While Jill watched me, I began to arrange the soul pathways of nature to define a boundary for the array, specifying the area of effect of the array. I did not have enough ingredients, so I could not create a large-scale array formation. For now, I could only settle on a small-scale one.

But the problem was if the array I was creating had a limited array of effects then how will it detect the artificial soul energy vein at the core of the dungeon? To answer this problem I could do what Jill did, create a device that was not limited by mobility, or I could turn it into a field card. If it was for commercial use then I would have gone with Jill's approach but this was just an experiment, I already knew where to find a soul energy vein, so a field card would be enough to serve the purpose of my experimentation.
