# Chapter 1879: Water Moon Cave Heaven
At this moment, many people around Lin Feng had witnessed him killing that middle-aged man, and they couldn't help but feel shocked in their hearts. Although this young man wasn't considered extremely powerful, he was still a high-rank Nether Emperor realm expert with extraordinary skill in the Sword Dao, yet he had died at Lin Feng's hands.
Lin Feng appeared to be only at the low-rank Nether Emperor realm, but his true cultivation should be at the mid-rank Nether Emperor realm. However, the Life and Death Array Dao he inscribed possessed boundless power, seizing life and death. This power of death made everyone fear it. Although it wasn't the kind of attack with devastating destructive force, it directly caused a strong expert to die, to lose his life—this showed how terrifying it was.
Lin Feng had already begun collecting his spoils of war from the Life and Death Array Dao. This time, no one dared to treat Lin Feng as prey to be slaughtered and step forward. The Life and Death Array Dao Lin Feng inscribed posed a great threat; no one wanted to carelessly fall into Lin Feng's hands.
After clearing away the spoils, Lin Feng's gaze casually swept toward the distance a few times. He naturally knew that the battle just now had attracted many people, but he still flickered his body and directly left this place. This kind of strong confidence instead made no one dare to easily pursue him. To be so calm under the watch of powerful enemies all around clearly showed that this person was very confident in his own strength and did not fear them.
Such is the human heart—the more indifferent Lin Feng acted, the more wary others became of him.
Lin Feng's rapidly flickering body no longer flew through the air but descended to the ground, making him a smaller target.
After some time, Lin Feng found a mountain range with open terrain and arrived at the highest peak of this mountain range. From here, he could directly overlook all the surrounding areas.
"Right here!" Lin Feng surveyed the surroundings, then stopped and began inscribing lines on the ground. Over the entire vast mountain peak, the light of the Tai Chi Life and Death Array flickered faintly. Before long, a vast Life and Death Array took shape, with Tai Chi light dazzling the eyes. However, Lin Feng moved his mind, and instantly the entire mountain range was filled with an endless aura of life, as if death had vanished in an instant.
After doing this, Lin Feng did not stop inscribing arrays. Soon, light patterns began to overlay the Life and Death Array Dao. After some time, this space began to be filled with an illusory, shifting meaning, ethereal and formless, making it unfathomable.
Finally, when another Illusory Transformation Array Dao also took shape, the entire mountain range was filled with dreamlike vitality, making people feel that this place was an excellent realm of life, one that could make people linger and forget to return.
Lin Feng inscribed two array daos in succession before stopping. He sat down cross-legged, moved his mind, and instantly another figure of Lin Feng appeared beside him—an ordinary clone. This clone directly stood up and walked toward the edge of the mountain peak, replacing Lin Feng to guard this array dao while also keeping watch on the movements of the surrounding area. If any situation arose, after the clone learned of it, his main body, who was cultivating, could also immediately wake from cultivation.
Lin Feng's main body directly closed his eyes, and in his mind appeared a chessboard. This chessboard was like the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard, and he, Lin Feng, stood upon this chessboard.
On the chessboard were inscribed two great array daos—the Tai Chi Life and Death Great Array Dao and the Illusory Transformation Array Dao. The lines of light seemed to be clearly engraved there, allowing Lin Feng to see them at a glance.
"The All-Heavens Array Dao is derived and born; a thought can form an array. The Three Thousand Grand Array Dao is just the foundation of the All-Heavens Array Dao. Now, I am already quite proficient in several of the Three Thousand Grand Array Daos. If I can use the Heavenly Derivation Scripture to continue the derivation of the array dao, achieving a unique array dao of my own, and become more proficient, shortening the time to inscribe arrays, then the power will be even stronger."
Lin Feng silently recited in his heart. The Life and Death Array Dao was already formed, but when Lin Feng killed the middle-aged man, he felt that relying solely on the power of the Life and Death Great Array Dao would still allow strong experts to escape, unable to achieve a certain kill. Moreover, inscribing the array also required considerable time. If he encountered more powerful figures, or if two people intercepted him at the same time, he would immediately fall into danger.
In his mind, borrowing the power of the Heavenly Derivation Scripture, the lines of light in the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard began their derivation. This derivation was lengthy, and Lin Feng was completely immersed in it, forgetting everything outside. With a clone outside, he didn't need to worry about his safety, and he could also monitor at any time what was happening in the distance.
Several hours later, a person came to Lin Feng's location, looking at the two figures on the mountain peak, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Such vigorous life force." This person slowly spoke, then stepped forward, standing in this wondrous ethereal life region, looking at Lin Feng's clone, and said, "Your life energy is so vigorous and vast; you cannot possibly be at the low-rank Nether Emperor realm, right?"
"A hundred paces away, please stop there." Lin Feng's clone spoke calmly, his pitch-black eyes looking at the other party without any expression.
That person's footsteps stiffened, and he stopped, revealing a smile: "Don't misunderstand, I have no ill intentions. The Immortal Kingdom Trial is perilous; why not travel together and look out for each other?"
As he spoke, his footsteps continued forward, approaching Lin Feng.
"I am cultivating with concentration and do not wish to travel with others for now. If you are sincere, you can come back in a hundred days." Lin Feng's voice remained the same, and he continued: "If you do not stop again, I will consider you an enemy."
"Having one more friend is better than having one more enemy, isn't it?" That person continued forward, but saw a cold gleam flash in Lin Feng's eyes. Then he waved his hand, and instantly the entire world changed color. The vast, surging vitality suddenly turned into a dead gray, and the entire world became even more ethereal. Lin Feng's clone and main body's figures even disappeared from before that person's eyes. At the same time, the aura of death began to directly erode his body.
In an instant, that person's face turned deathly gray. His body shot into the sky, but he remained trapped in the illusion until the moment of his death, when he saw Lin Feng's clone again. His eyes were still open, with a look of dying with regret—he never expected to lose his life so inexplicably.
Lin Feng's main body hadn't even opened his eyes. The clone walked forward, collected the Storage Ring from the other party's body, but left the corpse lying there. He waved his hand, and instantly the entire mountain range was again filled with vigorous vitality. The aura of life always makes people feel more comfortable than the power of death. If someone saw the corpse and still wanted to seek death, Lin Feng would only oblige them.
As time slowly passed, several more corpses had appeared on the mountain peak, lying quietly on the vibrant mountain top, somewhat spoiling the scenery. During this time, the array dao lines on the mountain peak seemed to change from time to time. Lin Feng had already begun trying to synchronize with the derivation in his mind, completely merging the Tai Chi Life and Death Array Dao and the Illusory Transformation Array Dao into one great array dao, so that when facing enemies, he wouldn't need to inscribe two great arrays.
Two months later, the array dao derivation took shape. The Life and Death Array Dao and the Illusory Transformation Array Dao merged together, still forming a Tai Chi pattern with dazzling light. However, the life aura had already drowned the entire space. Green ancient trees with lush branches and leaves—this place seemed not like a mountain peak but a forest of life.
Even though the array dao had taken shape, Lin Feng was still in no hurry to leave. He continued to seclude himself here in comprehension, quietly cultivating. Until one day, a terrifying demonic tribulation force surged from his body, rising and falling unceasingly, as if death force was merging into the tribulation force. Lin Feng, sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes. In his pupils, it seemed as if a demonic tribulation force shot out, sharp and fierce.
"After stepping into the mid-rank Nether Emperor realm, one must still undergo the Nine-Nine Heavy Tribulations before stepping into the high-rank Nether Emperor realm. Now, this first tribulation has not yet arrived." Lin Feng looked up at the void, then the clone walked to his side, handed over the collected spoils to him, and then merged into his main body, as if it had never existed.
Lin Feng lifted his foot and walked to the edge of the mountain peak, looking toward a person ahead. There, a white-robed scholar stood on an ancient stone, his long robe fluttering, his black hair flying in the wind.
As if sensing something, his gaze turned toward Lin Feng on the mountain peak, revealing a warm smile: "Sir, I am from the Water Moon Cave Heaven of this mountain range. Seeing you inscribing arrays and carving daos here, I greatly admire it. That is why I have been waiting here for some time. I invite you to visit Water Moon Cave Heaven for a chat. What do you think?"
This person had indeed appeared here very early, coming and going several times, formless and traceless, as if he were within this mountain range. Lin Feng's clone had witnessed it with his own eyes. However, because this person had never revealed anything, only standing on that great stone gazing into the distance, Lin Feng naturally wouldn't provoke him. He didn't expect that this person was actually waiting for him.
"Water Moon Cave Heaven—what place is that?" Lin Feng asked.
"Water Moon Cave Heaven is a sect that has been passed down in the Immortal Kingdom for a long time, generation after generation. The old leave, the new enter, but there are always people inheriting the will of Water Moon Cave Heaven, allowing this sect to endure forever." The white-robed scholar said with a smile. Lin Feng's eyes flickered, and he smiled: "What is the purpose of Water Moon Cave Heaven?"
"Mutual benefit." The white-robed scholar said simply: "Everyone who comes here seeks profit. However, the people of the Immortal Kingdom are treacherous, and strong experts are as numerous as clouds. Some form alliances to kill, and no one can stop them. Others rely on supreme cultivation, undefeated in battle, killing endlessly. Therefore, in the Immortal Kingdom, there are many temporary alliance sects. Water Moon Cave Heaven is one of the best among them, because Water Moon Cave Heaven can uphold the will of its founder—never to attack one's own people, or else be jointly killed. Thus, it can endure."
"A temporary sect!" Lin Feng smiled: "My realm is low. Why choose me?"
"Since Water Moon Cave Heaven can endure, it naturally has its merits. How could it only look at temporary cultivation realms? Many who enter Water Moon Cave Heaven stay in the Immortal Kingdom Trial for a long time. The weak also become strong. Besides, you are already very strong, with outstanding talent and terrifying array dao." The white-robed scholar's voice was warm, and he continued: "I have come here many times, waiting for you to wake up. I have no ill intentions. If you refuse, I will leave immediately and not disturb you further. I hope you can give me your reply."
"I'll go with you to take a look." Lin Feng said with a smile. Since Water Moon Cave Heaven was a sect that had endured in the Immortal Kingdom Trial, it must be extremely knowledgeable about the Immortal Kingdom Trial. If it was truly as the other party said, this sect was indeed worth joining!
