"Forget it, there's no point in feeling heartache now!"

Realizing that the situation was irreversible, Xiaobei took a deep breath to calm his agitated emotions.

Afterward, Xiaobei squatted down and pressed both hands firmly onto the newly arranged array.

At the same time, Xiaobei channeled a stream of absolutely pure Nine Wood True Qi into the newly formed array.

The reason for this was that Xiaobei wanted to activate the freshly formed array...

At this moment, though the array was set up, Xiaobei still couldn't control it...

To control it, he first needed to activate it...

Activation meant merging it with oneself...

Achieving this was really difficult, so Xiaobei was as cautious as possible, one could even say he was being extremely cautious...

...

"I must succeed in activating it, because if not, it'll be embarrassing!"

Mumbling softly to himself, Xiaobei continued infusing the array with Nine Wood True Qi, reaching every corner.

"Grandfather, what is Xiaobei doing now? Why does he look so serious?"

Watching Xiaobei's expression grow more serious, the clueless Gu Xinxin turned her head and curiously asked.

At this point, she genuinely had no idea what Xiaobei was up to...

Upon hearing such a curious inquiry, everyone in The Valley of the Wicked also turned their gaze onto Gu Dong.

Because they too had no idea what Xiaobei was up to!

Earlier, they wanted to ask Gu Dong what was happening, but Gu Xinxin had beat them to it.

With a calm glance around, Gu Dong spoke slowly, "It's called communication! Xiaobei is trying to communicate with the array, intending to activate it completely."

Gu Dong had spent decades studying arrays; although not an expert, he understood a lot, so he instantly understood what was happening...

Hearing Gu Dong's explanation, Gu Xinxin became even more puzzled...

"Does the array really need communication?"

"Indeed!"

"We... we never knew either!"

Hearing Gu Xinxin's remark, they muttered quickly...

They also didn't know that arrays required communication...

Smiling, Gu Dong spoke again...

"Ordinary arrays don't require such complex communication, but clearly, what Xiaobei is working on isn't an ordinary array, thus necessitating this relatively complex communication."

"Oh, I see!"

Nodding in understanding, Gu Xinxin turned to look at Xiaobei, speaking nervously, "Then... will Xiaobei succeed?"

"It's really hard to say!"

While Gu Dong had absolute confidence in Xiaobei, he slowly shook his head...

Gu Dong had previously attempted to communicate with arrays, but failed...

That failure had taught him how incredibly difficult such communication was!

Knowing this difficulty, he really wasn't sure if Xiaobei could succeed.

Upon hearing such a solemn remark, everyone's expressions changed!

"Could it be that he won't succeed?"

Murmuring to herself, Gu Xinxin looked at Xiaobei.

Quickly, she shook her head vigorously.

"Just because grandfather couldn't doesn't mean he can't. He's never let me down before, and this time... he definitely won't!"

Saying this, Gu Xinxin resolutely watched Xiaobei...

For some reason, she just had unwavering confidence in Xiaobei...

Gu Dong looked at Gu Xinxin, sighed silently...

He understood Gu Xinxin, knowing she truly had complete faith in Xiaobei now.

"Let's hope Xiaobei succeeds!"

Murmuring to himself, he too turned to watch the intensely focused Xiaobei...

...

"Indeed, communicating with the array is extremely difficult!"

After another failed attempt, Xiaobei muttered tiredly...

Xiaobei had already known that communicating with the array wouldn't be easy...

Now, having experienced it firsthand, Xiaobei was sure of it...

However, even so, Xiaobei had no intention of giving up!

He knew that if he couldn't find a way to revive the Seven-orifice Exquisite Fruit Tree today, things would really get troublesome...

As its condition worsens over time, reviving it would become increasingly difficult...

"Keep communicating!"

Mumbling to himself, Xiaobei continued manipulating the absolutely pure Nine Wood True Qi from his Dantian...

Fortunately, Xiaobei had absorbed a lot of Wood Series True Qi previously, otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to persist now...

The Nine Wood True Qi had the greatest capacity for integration, so communication was relatively simpler...

If one attempt failed, Xiaobei continued trying...

Gradually, beads of sweat formed on Xiaobei's forehead. Seeing this, everyone knew Xiaobei was indeed in a very tricky situation...

"Keep it up!"

Someone shouted, and quickly everyone began chanting the encouragement...

They knew they couldn't offer much help now, so they quietly blessed Xiaobei...

Hearing everyone speak in unison, Gu Xinxin watched Xiaobei and softly spoke.

"Xiaobei, do you hear us? We're all supporting you, and you'll definitely succeed."

...

"Damn it, why is it so difficult!"

After trying more than a dozen times without success, Xiaobei felt the urge to spit blood...

"Damn it, I refuse to believe it, I simply don't believe it!"

Muttering frantically, Xiaobei continued his relentless attempts...

This time, a gentle voice echoed in his ear, "You big fool, what a big fool you are, who communicates with an array like this? You're just wasting time!"

"Huh? Who's speaking?"

Hearing the teasing whisper, Xiaobei was utterly astonished, eyes wide open...

Because he had never expected anyone to speak to him at this moment...

Feeling Xiaobei's shock, the same teasing voice sounded delightedly in Xiaobei's ear...

"Haha, weren't you trying to communicate with me? Now that you've heard me, are you scared? In that case, let's not communicate anymore!"

Recognizing the teasing tone, Xiaobei took a deep breath and urgently said, "You… you're the array? No! You… you're the Array Heart?"

"Pretty smart of you, yes, it's me! I am the Array Heart!"

With slightly proud words, a cute elf with near-transparent wings appeared before Xiaobei...

Seeing this absolutely adorable little elf, Xiaobei took a deep breath in excitement...

Previously, in Shennong's memories, Xiaobei learned that arrays came in many forms...

Ordinary arrays were no big deal...

But advanced arrays had the existence of Array Hearts...

To communicate with an array, one must first communicate with the Array Heart...

Previously, Xiaobei had been trying to communicate with the Array Heart but had failed.

Now, she showed up voluntarily, filling Xiaobei with immense joy...

"So, how does it feel seeing me, excited?"

With a chuckle, she spun quickly in place, like a mischievous little elf...
