Luo Lu held a compass in his hand, continuously calculating the conditions of the Spiritual Energy. It took him the time of a full cup of tea to finally place a Third Grade Array Flag in a specific location.
As an Intermediate Array Master, and proud of his profession, he rarely used an Array Plate.
Although Array Masters created Array Plates, they were meant for laymen who didn't understand formations; true Array Masters completely looked down upon Cultivators who used Array Plates.
The spot in Five Lang Mountain was so critical that Luo Lu didn't want to use an Array Plate either.
The biggest drawback of the Array Plate was that it was easily deciphered by a more skilled Array Master.
Only a formation arranged using Spiritual Objects would merge with the terrain and Spiritual Energy, unleashing the formation's greatest might.
