# Chapter 1587: Hidden in the City

What exactly had happened between Wuji Heavenly Emperor and his disciple? Moreover, from what he had overheard of their conversation, it seemed to involve a Saint Emperor.

Mu Yi's speed was terrifying. He crossed countless mountain ranges without any sign of slowing down. Who knew if the people from Wuji Palace would come chasing after them? It was better to put as much distance between them as possible.

"Lin Feng, I've reached a bottleneck in my cultivation. I've been traveling far and wide, hoping to find an opportunity for a breakthrough. I don't really have any particular destination in mind. Anywhere is fine. Where are you heading? I'll go with you," Mu Yi said to Lin Feng with a smile as they traveled through the void. Mu Yi had an easygoing personality, which was quite good; otherwise, Lin Feng wouldn't have agreed to travel with him.

"I plan to head to the nine main cities on the edge of Azure Emperor Mountain's region. Senior Mu Yi, do you know of them?" Lin Feng asked Mu Yi. After all, the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region was quite remote.

"I know of them. That area borders several small worlds, making it a good place. Many people fight over control of those small worlds. The fact that the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses have been able to endure there for so long shows they have very deep foundations. I've never been there myself, but I've heard of it," Mu Yi said with a smile. "Perfect timing. I'll go to that border region as well. It would be quite nice to exchange insights on the Array Dao there."

"I was thinking the same thing," Lin Feng said with a hearty laugh. Returning to the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region, he would go into seclusion for a while and also take the time to thoroughly comprehend the other array daos.

The reason he didn't return to Yaoye Island was that many people there had also come from Wuji Imperial Palace and placed great importance on Wuji Heavenly Emperor's Array Dao. If he studied the Array Dao on Yaoye Island, it would be easy for others to find out that he had mastered the power of Wuji's Array Dao. Although Lin Feng was sure that Uncle Yu and the others would be happy, he didn't know how others would react. More importantly, he didn't know the thoughts of the master of Yaoye Island. To be safe, it was better not to return to Yaoye Island for now.

In the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region, Mu Yi and Lin Feng had traveled a long distance and looked travel-worn. By now, Lin Feng had changed his face to one that no one in this world had ever seen before. Three years later, returning to the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region, he had even changed his identity. He was now Mu En from Wuji Palace.

The Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region was unimaginably far from the Four Symbols Domain where Wuji Palace was located. It was impossible for people here to go and inquire whether there was a person named Mu En in Wuji Palace. Moreover, even if someone did go, Wuji Palace was so vast that it wouldn't be easy to find out about a single person. So, he didn't need to worry about his identity being exposed.

Of course, Lin Feng had already come to an agreement with Mu Yi. Mu Yi, like him, was now also a member of Wuji Palace. Mu Yi was Mu En's junior uncle, and both of them were out on a training journey.

Lin Feng and Mu Yi didn't go to any of the nine main cities. Instead, they came to the buffer zone of the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region. This area directly bordered the nine major powers of the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses, making it much easier to stir up some commotion.

At this moment, in a courtyard within the buffer zone of the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region, Lin Feng and Mu Yi were sitting on stone chairs, discussing the Array Dao. The Array Dao that Mu Yi had inherited in his cave dwelling was the Illusion Array Dao. When inscribed using the power of Illusion Law, it was most powerful, capable of evolving into infinite illusions that trapped people and made them unable to extricate themselves. As for Lin Feng, he didn't hide the fact that he had inherited the Ruin Array Dao. However, he didn't tell Mu Yi that he had obtained all the array daos. This was absolutely unspeakable; otherwise, he might face a catastrophic disaster. Therefore, when they talked, they only discussed the Illusion Array Dao and the Ruin Array Dao. They even exchanged the array daos they had inherited. Lin Feng didn't mind Mu Yi obtaining his Ruin Array Dao.

"Wuji Heavenly Emperor's Array Dao power is too profound and extensive. After three years of comprehension, I feel like I've only scratched the surface. You, Lin Feng, are much better than me," Mu Yi sighed with a smile as they talked. "With such profound and extensive Array Dao power, I wonder who Wuji Heavenly Emperor ultimately passed his Array Dao to through his divine sense power."

"Maybe Wuji Heavenly Emperor didn't pass it to anyone. It might just be his smoke screen," Lin Feng said casually.

"No, in my opinion, Wuji Heavenly Emperor would definitely choose one or two people to inherit it. He wouldn't bear to let his Array Dao be lost. Moreover, he would choose the person with the best talent in the Array Dao to teach. That way, when that person eventually masters Wuji Heavenly Emperor's Array Dao, it will inevitably attract the attention of Wuji Palace and put them in a hostile position with Wuji Palace. Wouldn't that be exactly what Wuji Heavenly Emperor wanted? His successor would be on the opposite side of the disciple who wanted to kill him. If they don't avenge him, they'll die at the hands of that disciple. There's no choice."

Mu Yi said with a smile, but his words made Lin Feng's eyes narrow. He hadn't thought that far ahead. It wasn't just the future. Just now, when they had walked out of the Four Symbols Death Ground, experts from Wuji Palace had already descended, wanting to keep everyone who had come out of the Four Symbols Death Ground. It could be said that from the moment he obtained Wuji Heavenly Emperor's inheritance, he had already stood on the opposite side of that Cyan Robe Great Emperor's disciple. There was no choice. The other party wouldn't let him go, unless the news that he was proficient in all of Wuji Heavenly Emperor's Array Dao powers never reached their ears.

"This Wuji Heavenly Emperor is quite ruthless. The person who obtained the inheritance probably doesn't even know they've been set up by him," Lin Feng said with a wry smile, but he was actually laughing at himself.

"To obtain Wuji Heavenly Emperor's inheritance, one naturally has to bear some burdens. If given the choice, anyone would be willing to obtain the inheritance," Mu Yi said with a smile. He didn't know that Lin Feng had walked out of the Array Dao cave dwelling; otherwise, he might have suspected that Lin Feng had obtained the inheritance.

Lin Feng seemed to have thought of this as well. His brows furrowed tightly. At that time, the Cyan Robe Great Emperor had seen him outside. Perhaps at that time, the Cyan Robe Great Emperor didn't know what it meant, since he didn't know that the Imperial Palace cave dwelling couldn't be opened. But if he later realized it, he would probably focus his suspicion on Lin Feng.

"Senior Mu Yi, you're right. No one can refuse Wuji Heavenly Emperor's inheritance," Lin Feng responded with a smile. "In the cave dwelling I entered, besides the Ruin Array Dao, there were also some memories recorded by Wuji Heavenly Emperor about inscribing arrays on talismans and weapons. I plan to study them thoroughly. Once I've sorted out my thoughts, I'll let Senior Mu Yi take a look as well. We can study them together and promote each other's progress."

Mu Yi was secretly pleased to hear Lin Feng's words. He hadn't expected Lin Feng's luck to be better than his, with additional memories in his cave dwelling.

"Alright, you go ahead and comprehend them. I was just thinking of trying out the Illusion Array Dao here where we're staying, to see if I can bring out some of its power," Mu Yi said happily. Lin Feng nodded and walked straight into his room. Among Wuji Heavenly Emperor's inheritance, there would naturally be methods for inscribing arrays on talismans and weapons. Moreover, simply inscribing arrays on weapons was different from using the Array Dao when actually refining weapons. When refining powerful weapons, in many cases, one had to inscribe sacred marks and embed arrays. Of course, good refining materials and strong soul power and flames were also needed.

Back in his room, Lin Feng began to comprehend the Array Dao inherited from Wuji Heavenly Emperor. From the endless memories, he found records about inscribing arrays on talismans and weapons. Back when he was at Heavenly Lake, a peak master from a snow peak had given him some talismans, which were made by inscribing sacred mark power. They could increase his speed. Lin Feng had been inspired by this and thought of inscribing talismans. If he could inscribe sacred marks formed by the power of Wind Essence and Space Essence into talismans, it would definitely increase his speed dramatically. In this great world full of experts, this would give him more capital to protect his life.

This time, Lin Feng went into seclusion for about a month. Then he went out to the trading area to exchange for some beast hides that could inscribe sacred marks, and also bought some other materials for making array talismans. After returning to his residence, he went into seclusion again. This time, it took even longer, over two months. However, he had made some small achievements.

One day, Lin Feng walked out of his room. At this moment, the courtyard was filled with a hazy aura. Lin Feng extended his divine sense to probe outward, but it seemed to be blocked by something. He couldn't help but find it quite remarkable.

"Lin Feng, how's this illusion array?" Mu Yi asked, seeing Lin Feng come out. He had just finished setting up the array and smiled at Lin Feng.

"Very good. I'm afraid if I walked in, I would be trapped inside," Lin Feng replied with a smile.

"It should barely work, I suppose. After all this time, I can only manage this much. The Illusion Array Dao of the Three Thousand Grand Array Dao is too difficult to comprehend. But even comprehending just a sliver of it, the illusion array I set up already has some power. If I were proficient in the Illusion Law, the power would be even stronger," Mu Yi said, looking at the array he had set up with a smile.

For the Illusion Array Dao, one of the Three Thousand Grand Array Daos, if the level of comprehension was the same, using Law to inscribe would naturally be more powerful than using Essence. And using the Illusion Law to inscribe was even more powerful than using other Laws. Mu Yi was using Law power to inscribe. So, although his comprehension wasn't deep, it was enough to trap someone of Lin Feng's level.

"Senior Mu Yi has done well," Lin Feng said with a faint smile on his face. Mu Yi smiled awkwardly and looked at Lin Feng. "What, are you going out again today?"

"En. I plan to exchange for some higher-grade materials for inscribing array talismans, so I can increase their power a bit," Lin Feng replied. Mu Yi nodded. "Alright, go ahead then."

With that, Mu Yi waved his hand, and the illusion array became much clearer, revealing a small path. Lin Feng followed the path out, planning to go to the trading area again to take a look.

PS: Some brothers might have misunderstood. I didn't say there wouldn't be updates tomorrow, just that there wouldn't be a burst of chapters. As long as there's no surgery, updates will be normal!
