At the entrance of the Wuji Imperial Palace, there were four gates: Qian, Kun, Kan, and Li. In reality, these four gates were all paths to survival, but they could also be said to be paths to death. Ultimately, they all led to the central area of the Imperial Palace, just by different routes.
All of this was guidance given to Lin Feng by that wisp of divine thought from the Wuji Heavenly Emperor. In the memories imparted by that divine thought, without the 'Divine Thought Key' formed by the convergence of five copper pieces, it would be extremely difficult for others to reach the central area of the Imperial Palace. They would have to pass through eighty-one layers of array dao barriers. Those arrays did not target individual cultivation levels, because as long as one was weaker than the Wuji Heavenly Emperor, touching those arrays would almost certainly mean certain death. Therefore, the strength or weakness of one's cultivation had no bearing on whether one could reach the central region of the Wuji Imperial Palace.
To pass through the eighty-one layers of array dao barriers behind the four gates, one could only rely on their own understanding of arrays, as well as luck. Of course, the Wuji Heavenly Emperor was not a bloodthirsty person. If one entered the Imperial Palace and did not blindly press forward, there was still a path to survival. But to reach the central region of the Imperial Palace, without the guidance of the Divine Thought Key, it was far too difficult.
As for what lay in the central area of the Imperial Palace, Lin Feng himself did not know. Therefore, his entry into the Imperial Palace was not absolutely safe. The road ahead still held unknown variables.
"I hope Ruoxie does not enter the Imperial Palace," Lin Feng thought to himself. Back then, he had not stopped Ruoxie from entering the Four Symbols Death Ground together with him, because with Ruoxie by his side, even if they truly encountered the Imperial Palace, he could take Ruoxie along. But now, with him not there, if Ruoxie found the Imperial Palace and entered, it would be very dangerous.
Of course, Lin Feng believed that Ruoxie was not a reckless person. His search for the Imperial Palace was merely a training experience. He had not harbored any extravagant hope of obtaining the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's inheritance. If he truly arrived outside the Imperial Palace, Lin Feng hoped he would know to retreat in the face of difficulty.
Using the 'Divine Thought Key,' Lin Feng moved unimpeded through the Imperial Palace, passing through layer after layer of array dao barriers. Behind Lin Feng, people constantly followed—those who had quickly traversed the path of life and death. Seeing Lin Feng handle the barriers with such ease, they clung tightly to his trail. Unexpectedly, they actually managed to continuously pass through those deadly barriers. Before Lin Feng, it was as if all array dao barriers were transparent. What they did not even know was that many barriers, Lin Feng never even triggered; he silently stepped over them.
This filled those people with great joy, and they followed closely one after another. Their greatest fear was losing sight of Lin Feng. Fortunately, Lin Feng paid them no heed, strolling leisurely through the Imperial Palace with a mind free of distractions. The followers behind him seemed to have nothing to do with him.
"This young man's state of mind actually carries a sense of detachment!" The Martial Emperor who had spoken of nine deaths and one life earlier looked at Lin Feng's figure ahead and thought to himself. Lin Feng simply did not care whether they followed or not. If they wanted to follow, they could follow—as long as they did not touch him. Pitiful was that Martial Emperor in the purple long robe, who had thought himself clever, constantly making Lin Feng scout the way for him, only to meet an untimely death. If he had not done that, not only would he not have died, but he could have followed Lin Feng all the way forward.
This Imperial Palace was extremely vast. Lin Feng's speed in passing through these array dao barriers could not be called slow, but it still took him about half a day to reach the central area of the Imperial Palace, stepping through the last mysterious gate in his divine thought memories.
The moment Lin Feng stepped out of that mysterious gate, a fresh and clear world appeared before him. A blue sky hung high above, the sound of waterfalls and flowing water constant. What also entered Lin Feng's field of vision were towering mountain walls that reached into the sky, and in the middle, a single lofty peak.
"That is..." Lin Feng's gaze froze and fixed in place, his eyes looking toward the summit of that towering peak in the middle. There, a human figure sat cross-legged, perfectly natural, as if formed by heaven itself. Sitting there, without breath, without a heartbeat, it was like a human statue. But this statue was far too realistic, just like a real person. And shockingly, it was none other than the Wuji Heavenly Emperor, whom Lin Feng had seen once before, identical to that divine thought.
"Divine thought!" At this moment, Lin Feng felt his divine thought suddenly ripple. Then, a beam of light burst forth from between his eyebrows. It was precisely that wisp of divine thought light.
This Divine Thought Key directly flew toward the Wuji Heavenly Emperor in the void. Soon, it directly merged into the space between the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's eyebrows, as if returning to its original owner.
"This is!" Lin Feng's heart twitched slightly. A wisp of the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's divine thought had actually autonomously returned to that breathless figure of the Wuji Heavenly Emperor. Could it be that this body, devoid of any fluctuation, was the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's true physical body?
His body trembling slightly, Lin Feng shot up into the sky, instantly landing on that lofty peak, wanting to approach the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's physical body.
"Boom!" A terrifying force suddenly slammed into Lin Feng's body, sending him flying backward.
Stabilizing his form, sharp beams shot from Lin Feng's eyes. That physical body was wrapped in a terrifying array force; he could not get close at all.
"Could it really be the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's physical body? Did the Wuji Heavenly Emperor place his divine thought power within the copper pieces, then have someone find this place, all for the purpose of having his divine thought return to its position?" Lin Feng thought to himself. This bold guess made his heart tremble slightly. Could it be that the Wuji Heavenly Emperor had not truly fallen? That his physical body was in the Imperial Palace, waiting for his divine thought to return?
If so, then why had the Wuji Heavenly Emperor arranged the Imperial Palace in another small world outside the Four Symbols Death Ground? Was he hiding from someone?
His figure rose into the air once again. Lin Feng looked at the closed-eyed figure of the Wuji Heavenly Emperor. It truly was no different from a human physical body—lifelike. But his entire body seemed to be in a state of absolute stillness, without any movement. If not for the return of Lin Feng's divine thought power just now, Lin Feng would never have dared to think this could be a living person.
At this moment, not only had Lin Feng entered, but those who had followed him had also stepped into this space. Seeing the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's body, they too revealed expressions of shock, silently guessing in their hearts who this person was.
"Do you recognize him?" At this moment, the Martial Emperor who had spoken on the path of life and death came to Lin Feng's side, his gaze also fixed on the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's physical body before them. He said, "There is a terrifying array on his body, formless and invisible. You must have triggered it just now, causing the fluctuation, right?"
"If I am not mistaken, this should be the Wuji Heavenly Emperor. It was indeed I who triggered the array just now. This physical body is wrapped in powerful array dao force." Lin Feng knew that the Martial Emperor beside him had considerable research into arrays, so he responded.
"If this truly is the Wuji Heavenly Emperor, then the Wuji Heavenly Emperor may have set up a very large scheme," the Martial Emperor murmured softly. The Wuji Heavenly Emperor's physical body had actually appeared.
With a thought, three copper pieces appeared in his hand. They were precisely the Wuji copper pieces.
Suddenly, a pulling force came. From the three copper pieces, a wisp of light smoke drifted toward the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's physical body. This scene made the Martial Emperor's gaze freeze once again.
"The Wuji copper pieces contain a wisp of the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's divine thought power. If the five copper pieces are gathered together, they can condense into a complete wisp of divine thought," Lin Feng said slowly. It seemed that once one entered this Imperial Palace, as long as the Wuji copper pieces appeared, the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's physical body would absorb the divine thought power back.
"Look at the mountain walls around us!" The Martial Emperor's gaze swept across the surrounding mountain walls that enclosed this space. Lin Feng had already seen them. On these mountain walls, there were quite a few cultivation cave dwellings. Some cave dwellings were already sealed shut, with array dao aura emanating from them. Other cave dwellings were open, as if one could step into them at any time for cultivation.
"Let's go!" A series of whooshing sounds rang out. Those who had followed Lin Feng in directly stepped into the cave dwellings on the mountain walls. Having followed Lin Feng through the eighty-one barriers, it was now time to obtain their opportunities, was it not? They wondered if the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's inheritance was within these cave dwellings.
Lin Feng was in no hurry to enter a cave dwelling. At this moment, there were still many cave dwellings on the surrounding mountain walls. There was no rush. These cave dwellings should all be prepared for the martial cultivators who reached this place.
"Senior, what is your view on this?" Lin Feng asked the Martial Emperor beside him.
"I do not know either. Let us go in and see, and we will find out," the Martial Emperor said with a smile. Lin Feng nodded slightly, and his body flickered toward a cave dwelling on the mountain wall.
However, at this moment, a fluctuation spread out. Someone actually walked out from one of the cave dwellings. Lin Feng's gaze inadvertently glanced in that direction, and then his gaze froze in place. His heart twitched violently, and his eyes widened roundly.
Before Lin Feng stood a Daoist priest. Seeing Lin Feng, this Daoist priest narrowed his eyes into slits, grinning mischievously as he said, "You little bastard, you're not dead yet!"
"You old bastard is still alive, so how could I die before you!" Lin Feng gave this stinky Daoist priest a look of utter contempt. How was it that wherever there was profit to be made, this guy's shadow was always there!
