Green Mountain City had four main array mines. Among them, the Jing family and the Yu family had the largest array mines, producing the most abundant array stones, and occasionally some rare array stones would appear.
For an array dao family, the importance of an array mine vein was self-evident. Therefore, they would dispatch very powerful forces to guard them, and the Yu family's array mine was naturally no exception.
When Lin Feng arrived here with Yu Xin, he saw the vast, endless array mine veins in all sorts of strange shapes, radiating over a thousand miles of land, stretching across the earth like mountain ranges. Only then did he realize how rich this array mine vein was. It was indeed an extremely precious mine. Although there were strong guards, it still couldn't prevent people from frequently coming to steal ore. As for these people, the Yu family's methods of dealing with them had always been very ruthless.
At this moment, Lin Feng stood before the mine vein, reaching out to touch the array ore. He saw that some of the ores seemed to have patterns born on them, and they seemed to contain spiritual energy, with laws permeating them, appearing naturally formed. However, the proportion was small, probably only about one-tenth.
"How magical. How is this formed?" Lin Feng exclaimed in admiration.
"The continent has always had various precious resources. For example, some places nurture immortal herbs and divine medicines, and it's not surprising that this place nurtures array ores. They are either naturally formed or, of course, this vast array mine mostly contains impurities with no use, only one-tenth being true array ores," Yu Xin replied.
"Indeed, these array ores seem to be carved with natural array patterns. Even these impure ores have array rhythm. If refined, they can easily be carved into arrays," Lin Feng said slowly, causing Yu Xin to smile slightly. "Yes, our Yu family members often come to this array mine to cultivate, comprehending arrays. At the same time, these impure ores are the best materials for practicing array carving."
"Lin Feng, let me take you to see the high-purity array ores." Yu Xin smiled, then pulled Lin Feng and ran forward, their bodies soaring into the air. After a moment, they arrived beside an array ore with very strong law fluctuations. This array ore had all kinds of strange array stones, some with extremely strong spiritual energy, with strands of patterns naturally carved, their perfection no less than that carved by array dao grandmasters.
"The world is vast, truly magical." Lin Feng spoke slowly as he walked up to a huge array stone. On this huge array stone, a sharp and incomparable spear was carved, dark in color, with terrifying dark laws permeating it. The spear was carved from strands of array patterns, but it was lifelike, as if real. This was a living teaching material, allowing one to directly refer to it to cultivate array dao.
"So handsome." Tantai stepped forward, his large hand gently stroking the array ore. Yu Xin smiled slightly, placing one hand on it. Laws permeated, rolling along the spear's patterns. In an instant, strands of terrifying sharpness shot straight into the sky, as if they could break through the array ore and rush into the void at any moment.
"Impressive. With such an array mine, the Yu family probably has to fight desperately to protect it, right?" Lin Feng said.
"Of course. If it weren't extremely important, the family wouldn't have recalled Yu Lin and specifically instructed him to bring helpers, leaving the Jing family with no spare attention," Yu Xin replied. Hearing this, Lin Feng nodded slightly. This way, his own actions had a bit more certainty. At that time, he would use the array mine to pressure the Jing family into releasing people.
"Lin Feng, your teacher is an array dao grandmaster, so your array dao attainments should be considerable, right?" Yu Xin asked curiously, showing a smile to Lin Feng.
"Fairly decent," Lin Feng smiled, shrugging slightly, causing Yu Xin to pout a little and laugh, "What does 'fairly decent' mean?"
Just as they were speaking, a terrifying roar suddenly came rolling from afar, causing both Lin Feng and Yu Xin's expressions to tighten. They looked in the direction of the roar, seeing terrifying aura shooting straight into the clouds, as if a battle was happening there.
"Someone is stealing ore." Yu Xin was startled, then stepped forward: "Let's go, let's take a look."
Lin Feng and the other two stepped toward the battle site. There, many people were already present, and within an array mine, two figures stood in the center, engaged in a violent battle.
"Yu Lin." Lin Feng's gaze condensed slightly. He had also come to this array mine vein.
"Who is fighting Yu Lin?"
"Jing Ran, a very formidable figure among the Jing family's younger generation, especially skilled in array dao. He is also a member of the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion," Yu Xin said, her beautiful eyes flickering as she stared at the battle. The two were not directly colliding but stood at great positions, using arrays to fight. This was an array dao confrontation.
Jing Ran stomped his foot, and terrifying array ores flew up. His hands danced wildly, his fingers like divine brushes, continuously tracing through the void. In an instant, strands of terrifying sharpness broke through the air and killed. Jing Ran's fingers traced, and sword cries echoed through the void, directly attacking Yu Lin. Where they passed, heaven and earth trembled, with boundless power.
Yu Lin snorted coldly, his palm suddenly pulling forward, carving a massive shielding shield, then fiercely slapping it out. With a thunderous explosion, terrifying ore fragments flew wildly.
"Haha, Brother Yu Lin's array dao ability is truly impressive." Jing Ran laughed heartily, his voice bold. He stomped wildly on the ground, array ores continuously flying up, rapidly intertwining before him.
"Kill!" A explosive shout rolled out, and a azure dragon roared. The array ore transformed into a terrifying azure dragon, suddenly devouring toward Yu Lin. The dreadful power sent chills down one's spine.
Yu Lin remained extremely calm, his killing intent strong. In the void, a terrifying golden giant sword appeared, exuding deadly killing aura. Yu Lin roared, and the giant sword, swallowing mountains and rivers, cut through the void, stabbing toward the terrifying azure dragon. The void exploded once again.
"The Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion truly pushes array dao power to a terrifying level in attack." Lin Feng sighed inwardly as he watched the dazzling battle. Their use of arrays was too terrifying, easily integrating them into combat, almost not using their own original power, directly launching battles with arrays. Especially in an array mine, they had the advantage of terrain. If they also used arrays to assist their own strength, they could unleash even more terrifying power.
The battle between the two grew increasingly frenzied. Lin Feng appreciated the fight, thinking to himself: "When I cultivate array dao, I follow the rules, comprehending arrays and carving arrays. I can say I cultivate the most important foundations of array dao, but I haven't diverged like them, turning array dao into tangible attacks, acting arbitrarily, able to launch various methods. Of course, the great dao shares the same origin. If I cultivate to the point where divine thoughts form arrays, a single thought can carve all heavens arrays, any attack before me is but floating clouds."
Lin Feng gained some insights. Although both were array cultivators, their cultivation directions differed, but they could learn from each other. This was like martial artists all seeking martial arts, but how they cultivated varied, with no two different people cultivating in the same way.
Array dao and martial dao, in the end, were the same. Lin Feng felt that if he cultivated to the state of all heavens arrays, it would probably be what they called the Array Master realm, like the ancient saints of martial dao.
"Is this Jing Ran the most formidable youth of the Jing family?" Lin Feng asked. He felt that although Jing Ran's array dao was powerful, there was still a gap with Yu Lin.
"No, Yu Lin's strength can suppress Jing Ran, but the Jing family also has a Jing Yan who is very terrifying. I'm afraid even Yu Lin can't suppress him. Both Jing Yan and Jing Ran have entered the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion to cultivate, making them the two most formidable of the Jing family. Additionally, Jing Xiaoyue and other Jing family juniors are also very outstanding. That's why the Jing family is rising, wanting to annex the four major array mines of Green Mountain City."
Yu Xin replied, causing Lin Feng to nod slightly. No wonder. The Jing family even had a strong member from the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion. These people were better than him in the operation of array dao battles, with strange and varied combat methods.
"Let's stop here for today. I'll spar with Brother Yu Lin another day." At this moment, Jing Ran let out a long cry, his body spreading its wings like a great roc, heading toward Lin Feng's side, as if wanting to retreat from this array mine.
Jing Ran was extremely fast. Seeing Lin Feng and the other two, a faint smile appeared on his lips. He reached out and suddenly plunged his hand into the array ore beside him. With continuous rumbling sounds, the array ore danced. Jing Ran's palm rapidly traced through the void, and a terrifying array pattern intertwined, filled with dreadful power.
"Hmph." Tantai snorted coldly, taking a large step forward. But Yu Xin's expression changed, and she said, "He isn't using his own power. This is a demand for an array dao duel."
"I'll handle it." Yu Xin stepped forward, moving in front of Lin Feng and Tantai. Her hands also danced, carving arrays. Although her array dao was far inferior to Jing Ran's, she couldn't weaken the Yu family's face.
"Boom!" Jing Ran stomped the ground, and from the earth ahead, countless spears suddenly shot out, as if imbued with terrifying wind power, raining down toward Yu Xin.
Yu Xin's expression was ugly. Hastily, she condensed an array shield. But at this moment, Lin Feng, standing behind Yu Xin, stomped hard on the ground. In an instant, terrifying patterns on the earth wildly intertwined. Lin Feng felt that it was indeed easier to carve arrays in this array mine. With a single thought, the mine vein containing array rhythm would rapidly weave a formation. A terrifying destructive power burst out, destroying everything. The spears that struck Yu Xin's shield, after being hit by the destructive power, all collapsed. At the same time, Jing Ran's body suddenly shot into the sky. A terrifying force directly surged from the earth beneath his feet.
This scene made Jing Ran deeply look at Lin Feng, who stood behind Yu Xin. He had been fighting Yu Xin head-on, so he naturally knew that Lin Feng had just made a move. When did the Yu family gain such a formidable array dao figure?
As for the Yu family members who had rushed over, they were stunned. Good heavens, how had Yu Xin's array dao improved so terrifyingly? Although they couldn't sense it clearly, that pressure just now seemed very strong.
