The person who appeared was naturally that bastard Yan Di. Lin Feng had finally found the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's imperial palace, but he didn't expect this old bastard was already there. He didn't know how long he had been there, having already come out of one cave dwelling.
However, having not seen him for nearly two years, seeing this old immortal still so wretched was actually quite familiar.
"Old immortal, it's been so long. Have you stepped into the Mid-rank Emperor realm?" Lin Feng asked with a smile. Yan Di immediately rolled his eyes and cursed under his breath, "Do you think the Martial Emperor realm is like the Mysterious Martial or Heavenly Martial realm? The Nine Heavens Continent is vast and boundless. Among ten thousand people, not one can ascend to the Martial Emperor seat. Even if they can enter the Martial Emperor realm, most spend long years, often hundreds or thousands of years. After entering the Martial Emperor realm, every step is a hurdle. Even though I, the Emperor, am divinely martial and invincible, I can't just ignore the leaps between realms."
Seeing Yan Di roll his eyes, Lin Feng chuckled awkwardly. He was just asking casually. This bastard, from his rebirth until now, had never encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation. Now that he had crossed into the Martial Emperor realm and was getting closer to his former realm, it was normal for his cultivation speed to slow down. Having died once, relying on remnant soul power to easily step back into his past achievements was no simple matter.
In this great world, among ten thousand people, not one ascends to the Martial Emperor seat. Yan Di might even have understated it. Thinking back to the Eight Wastelands and Nine Abyss lands, the vast territories had countless people, numbering in the billions, but how rare were Martial Emperors? Even if people in the great world were generally stronger, Martial Emperors were still one in ten thousand. The reason there were many Martial Emperors was simply because the population base of the great world was too enormous. This was a world that had evolved for endless years, measured in epochs. No one was foolish enough to count how many people were in this world, because it was simply impossible to count.
Some people were destined to look up to the Martial Emperor realm their entire lives, while others could ascend to the imperial throne within a hundred years, or even shorter. This was the cruelty of the martial world. Only the strong could endure forever; the weak were destined to be eliminated. If one didn't want to be among the eliminated, they had to keep getting stronger. As the epochs changed, countless new people were born and rose, accompanied by the fall of countless old ones.
"How long have you been in this region? Also, what's inside the cave dwelling?" Lin Feng asked Yan Di.
"I arrived a year earlier than you. As for what's in the cave dwelling, go and experience it yourself. Of course, it's good stuff." Yan Di's eyes narrowed again, his gaze falling on the Wuji Heavenly Emperor, a very strange expression appearing in his eyes. He said, "Hurry up and keep comprehending. Don't waste your time here. Maybe one day, that old immortal will end up like I did back then!"
Lin Feng looked at Yan Di's narrowed eyes and nodded slightly. He naturally understood what Yan Di meant by "like I did back then" — resurrection. Yan Di also believed that the Wuji Heavenly Emperor might not be dead, having sealed his divine thoughts within copper pieces and placed them across the continent. Those who possessed the Wuji copper pieces would inevitably find a way to the imperial palace. Once they entered the imperial palace, they would take out the copper pieces to see if they had any use. When they took out the copper pieces, the divine thoughts would return to their place. In Lin Feng's case, a wisp of the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's divine thought had been in his mind, guiding him here before directly coming out from between his brows and returning to the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's brow.
"Go on!" Yan Di said to Lin Feng, too lazy to continue catching up. Since Lin Feng had come back alive, it saved him the trouble of going to find him later. His figure flickered, and Yan Di stepped into another cave dwelling.
Lin Feng didn't linger. He directly stepped into the cave dwelling Yan Di had just been in. In an instant, ripples of light shimmered. The cave dwelling seemed to close the moment he stepped in. In front of Lin Feng, a series of wondrous patterns appeared.
This cave dwelling wasn't large, just enough for cultivation. Inside, streaks of patterns flickered unsteadily, wandering without rest.
Lin Feng turned back to look at the closed exit. He reached out his hand, and where he touched, it was slightly cold and hard. The light curtain seemed to have turned into an unbreakable stone wall, trapping him inside.
Lin Feng's palm trembled slightly, and he suddenly struck the light curtain. However, he felt as if his palm had hit eternal stone, indestructible. The light curtain didn't waver at all.
This made Lin Feng frown slightly. He couldn't break it. That meant he couldn't come and go freely.
A terrifying power gathered in Lin Feng's fist. At the tip of his fist, there was a force that could break through everything, coalescing into a swirling hurricane.
"Earth Split!" Lin Feng punched out. The Earth Split, which could easily destroy a mountain peak and shake an Earth Demon Ape, landed on the light curtain without moving it at all. Instead, a terrifying rebound force hit Lin Feng, making his feet scrape harshly against the ground. Then his back slammed into the cave dwelling's rock wall. The hard sensation made his back ache. This cave dwelling was a sealed one.
"That old immortal didn't even warn me!" Lin Feng silently cursed in his heart. Then he didn't try again. He knew how strong that strike was, yet it couldn't shake the light curtain at all. This showed that it wasn't something his power could break through. Even Yan Di probably couldn't break it. This was a cave dwelling that could be entered but not exited.
Lin Feng walked to the center of the light curtain patterns and sat cross-legged in a position that seemed tailor-made for him. Suddenly, the surrounding patterns seemed to move, flowing faster. This sudden change didn't surprise Lin Feng. He quietly closed his eyes. Since Yan Di could walk out of here, there must be a way out, probably related to these light curtain patterns.
The flowing patterns eventually wandered to above Lin Feng's head. The space in the cave dwelling became extremely brilliant. At this moment, Lin Feng felt as if he was no longer in a narrow space but in a vast one. In this space, infinite patterns and runes floated before him, constantly imprinting into his closed eyes and engraving into his mind, as if they were instilling memories into him.
"Array!" In front of Lin Feng's mind, a huge character seemed to float, clearly the character for "array." Relaxing his mind, Lin Feng frantically absorbed all the memories and patterns that kept entering his mind, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, absorbing wildly. These cave dwellings carved into the mountain walls were likely the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's array dao inheritance.
It seemed like a long time had passed. An unimaginably vast amount of memories were all instilled into Lin Feng's mind. However, based on these memories, he discovered that the array dao he had obtained was one volume of the Three Thousand Grand Array Dao.
"Array Dao: Borrowing the power of heaven and earth!" Lin Feng murmured. The first sentence of the array dao general outline: What is an array? Array dao is borrowing the power of heaven and earth.
Human power has its limits, while the power of heaven and earth is inexhaustible and never-ending. Human power has its extremes, while the power of heaven and earth has no extremes. Borrow the power of heaven and earth, carve the patterns of heaven and earth.
Lin Feng absorbed the array dao outline. It recorded that those with the weakest attainments in array dao would rely on external objects to form arrays, like Yan Di in the past, using Essence Crystals or some weapons to draw out their power and unleash great might. In the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's array dao, this was the method used by the weakest.
Those with some achievement in array dao no longer needed external objects. They released their own power, using their power to draw on the power of heaven and earth, carving sacred marks with their hands. The arrays formed this way were only stronger than the first type, not weaker. Of course, setting up very powerful arrays was very difficult, requiring a very long time and mastery of various array patterns, bringing them together to unleash very strong power.
As for true array dao masters, their divine thoughts commanded heaven and earth. In a single thought, they could communicate with the power of heaven and earth, possessing inconceivable might.
For example, someone skilled in the Earth Law could communicate with the Earth Law in the surrounding heaven and earth, merging their spirit into it. They could directly use their divine thoughts to communicate with the law force, making the law force of this heaven and earth converge into patterns, carving them into an array. Then they could draw on an even larger range of law force, unleashing terrifying power. Truly achieving a single thought that changes heaven and earth. Of course, reaching this realm was no easy task. Just the endless array patterns alone were enough for many people to explore for a lifetime.
Everything in the memories completely overturned Lin Feng's understanding of array dao. A true array dao grandmaster could achieve: one thought, becoming the law of heaven and earth!
