My Whole Class Isekai'd to a Xianxia? Good Thing I Can Do Mind-reading

Feng Fan made his way to the array's core, the most critical point of the White Crow Sect's defense. Because of its importance, two disciples always stood guard there. As they noticed Feng Fan approaching, recognition flashed in their eyes.

"Greetings, Brother Feng," one of them said, cupping his hands in respect. Within the White Crow Sect, Feng Fan's reputation was almost legendary.

Feng Fan gave a slight nod and revealed the Sect Master's token for them to see. "I'm here under the Sect Master's orders. The array requires some modifications. You two can go."

Upon seeing the token, the disciples exchanged a glance before nodding and leaving without hesitation. They had heard about Feng Fan's prowess in the Array Dao and harbored no doubts about his ability to alter the sect's formation.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Feng Fan activated his spiritual qi vision and carefully analyzed the array before him. His gaze traced the patterns of spiritual qi intertwined with Dao laws, rising from the ground like a colossal pillar and stretching toward the sky.

Dozens of meters above, the pillar connected with the barrier, continuously fueling its power.

'I can already see the flaws and subtle intricacies of its structure… Seems I'm not far from breaking through to the tier 7 Array Master level.'

Initially, Feng Fan had planned to simply alter the tier 6 barrier array into an illusion array. However, realizing that this might be his best opportunity to advance in the Array Dao, he resolved to go beyond that and improve it as well.

Stepping closer to the array's core, his hands shimmered with spiritual qi, determination gleaming in his eyes.

'I need to use every chance I get to improve.'

With the Shen Empire invading his home, how could Feng Fan not feel pressured?

Each time his fingers touched the array's core, a subtle change would take place. 'There are actually two arrays—one with the Dao law of protection and the other using the Dao law of strength.'

With his current experience, Feng Fan was already capable of recognizing Dao laws and even imbuing certain ones into his arrays. These weren't Dao laws generated by him, but created changing the heavenly laws in the environment.

Although he could only use simple Dao laws at the moment, that was already enough to create tier 6 arrays.

If he took it a step further and managed to combine two or more Dao laws into a single array, he would be able to create a tier 7 array.

Initially, Feng Fan intended to replace the law of protection with the law of illusion. As long as he could do that and adjust some of the core structures, he would be able to change the barrier into an illusion.

But now, he planned to add the law of illusion on top of the law of protection rather than merely replacing it. This might seem simple, but it was far more challenging than what he had originally intended.

The arrays Feng Fan had encountered or used before would typically stack two or more arrays, each containing its own Dao law, to create superimposing effects. Although this method was effective, it was still far inferior to merging multiple Dao laws within a single array.

Determination flashed in Feng Fan's eyes. 'Alright, let's begin.'

As the array structures began to change and merge, the barrier around the White Crow Sect flickered, disappearing and reappearing. All the disciples inside noticed the changes and couldn't help but wonder what was going on.

This fluctuation was caused by Feng Fan's attempt to merge the arrays. Instead of creating a tier 7 array from scratch, he was combining the array imbued with the Strength Dao law with the one imbued with Protection.

Sweat began to form on his forehead as he focused. With his spiritual qi vision, he could easily intertwine the arrays, but the Dao laws clashed fiercely, rejecting each other. Since he couldn't perfectly merge the two laws, the barrier continued to flicker in and out of existence.

Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Feng Fan muttered, "Why is it so hard?"

Even after three whole hours, he still couldn't merge the Dao laws! Frustrated but unwilling to give up, Feng Fan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, calming his mind. Within seconds, he entered the Return to Emptiness state.

In that tranquil void, his worries about the Shen Empire faded away, leaving only a single objective: merging the arrays.

His left hand danced gracefully, guiding the Protection Dao law.

His right hand moved in tandem, manipulating the Strength Dao law.

Earlier, when he tried to merge them, they had fought against each other, repelling like magnets of the same polarity. Only now did Feng Fan realize what he had done wrong.

'All Dao laws merge toward the same path, so they are, ultimately, the same,' he thought. 'I was trying to merge Strength and Protection, but the idea itself was flawed… Instead of merging them, I need to create their result.'

Feng Fan's eyes snapped open, his vision no longer clouded by doubt. His hands came together, and the Dao laws fused. They were no longer two separate entities but a single, cohesive force created by Feng Fan—the Fortification Dao law!

A smirk tugged at his lips. 'I see... So creating tier 7 arrays was never about merging two Dao laws, but creating a new one from understanding both.'

The results were already starting to manifest, but Feng Fan's hands didn't stop moving. Even though the most challenging part was over, he still needed to complete the fusion of the array itself.

Now that the hardest step had been accomplished, the rest was just a matter of time.

His hands continued their dance as the arrays seamlessly merged, forming a brand new structure—a tier 7 barrier array!

But Feng Fan didn't stop there; he was far from finished. 'Time to add an illusion.'

Maintaining control of the new array with his left hand, he began channeling spiritual qi into his right, and a brand new Dao law started to emerge.
