# Chapter 2116: Entering the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion
Lin Feng and the others had already gone far away. Their only purpose in Green Mountain City was to rescue Mu Chen. Now that they had saved Mu Chen and had hostages in hand, there was no need for them to stay in this place of trouble.
As for the matters of Green Mountain City, they would leave them for Green Mountain City to resolve on its own. Lin Feng fully believed that the Jing Clan, having suffered this calamity, would not easily get through it. Even if they didn't die, they would have to shed a layer of skin. This was the price for imprisoning Mu Chen.
At this moment, in a hilly region, terrifying demon clouds gathered in the sky. Fearsome tribulation light slashed through the void, striking fiercely at the figure standing on the hill. Everyone felt their hearts tremble. That figure, beneath the endless tribulation light, appeared so insignificant.
"Can Lin Feng withstand this?" Mu Chen's heart beat slightly, feeling a tremor. That demon tribulation light—he felt that even a single beam could blast him to death. Yet that fellow actually charged against the momentum, soaring straight into the sky, proud and unyielding.
"Big Senior Brother, there's no need to be surprised by anything this fellow does." Hou Qinglin said with a smile, causing Mu Chen to nod slightly. "I never imagined your lives would be so exciting. And all of you junior brothers stepped into the War King Academy together, establishing the Heavenly Terrace."
"Naturally. We will also make the Heavenly Terrace stand tall in the Nine Heavens Continent, generation after generation." Hou Qinglin's gaze was firm as he slowly said, "Teacher, the position of Heavenly Terrace Master has always been reserved for you and Master Yu Emperor. You must recover from your injuries and usher in the glorious era of the Heavenly Terrace."
"I can't do that." Mu Chen shook his head with a smile. "I'm old. All of you have greater talent than me, and your strength has surpassed mine. In the future, you'll only become stronger. It's better to leave the Heavenly Terrace to you. I'll roam freely with Xiao Yue."
"You and Master's Wife can be just as free at the Heavenly Terrace." Tian Chi said with a smile. Mu Chen rubbed Tian Chi's head and said, "Foolish child, foolish child. Now you've all grown up. Time passes too quickly."
"Yes, that fellow Lin Feng even has children now. Big Senior Brother, when will you and Master's Wife give us a little junior brother?" Ruoxie stepped forward. The usually quiet one actually made a joke. Everyone chatted, all feeling delighted at heart. Now, they just had to wait for Mu Chen's injuries to slowly heal. Mu Chen's injuries were more severe in terms of soul trauma. They hoped to find some good soul pills in the future.
At this moment, the endless demon clouds in the void gradually dissipated. Lin Feng took a deep breath, as if swallowing all the demon light of heaven and earth into his mouth. Then his figure flickered, and he came toward Mu Chen. "Big Senior Brother."
"How do you feel?" Mu Chen asked with a smile.
"Very good. My whole body is full of power." Lin Feng smiled and stretched out his hand. Cracking sounds rang out continuously. That not-so-robust body carried explosive strength.
Mu Chen stood up and punched Lin Feng's body. He felt as if he had struck the hardest ore, unable to shake it at all. He said with a smile, "With this physical body of yours, even peak High-rank Emperor level experts can't threaten you."
"Big Senior Brother, that Ye Que is said to be close to an Invincible Martial Emperor. But in truth, this fellow Lin Feng is the one truly close to being an Invincible Martial Emperor. Perhaps when his cultivation reaches the Martial Emperor peak, he will truly be invincible among Martial Emperors." Tantai said with a grin. He hadn't known Mu Chen before, but since he was the father of the Heavenly Terrace, he naturally showed respect and addressed Mu Chen as Big Senior Brother.
"The Nine Heavens Continent is too vast. I can't clearly know how much strength is needed to be truly invincible at a single realm. For example, when I saw Ji Shang before, I thought that was the peak power of a Martial Emperor. Later, Chu Chunqiu was even stronger. Then came Wang Jian, Zhuo Qing, and then Wu Jue, as well as the Thirteen Young Masters of the Demon Domain. It's like layers of steps—the higher you go, the fewer there are. But the Nine Heavens is too big. You can never say there isn't someone with even stronger combat power. You can only keep working hard to make yourself stronger. If your realm reaches the point where you can break free from the constraints of a Great Emperor, that's naturally better. There's no need to cling to dominating a single realm."
Lin Feng said calmly. Although those with good talent had combat power not determined by realm, for the same person, a higher realm naturally meant stronger combat power.
"These words make sense." Mu Chen smiled. "Lin Feng, not to mention the Nine Heavens, this Shen Xiao Continent is at the center of the Nine Heavens Continent. It has endless geniuses. Even a small place like Green Mountain City is like this. And the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion has figures like Ye Que."
"En. The Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion is indeed formidable. I interrogated the captives and had them introduce the situation of the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion. This place is indeed a wondrous land. The martial cultivators inside are quite skilled in both martial arts and array dao. And there are quite a few secret realm places."
"Since it has a reputation on the Shen Xiao Continent, it's naturally formidable. Where do we plan to go next?" Mu Chen asked.
"The main city of the Shen Xiao Continent, Shen Xiao City. The gathering place for the Nine Heavens Meeting." Hou Qinglin's gaze flashed with sharpness. Since they had come to the Shen Xiao Continent, their ultimate goal was naturally to go and witness the grand spectacle of the Nine Heavens Meeting. Even if they couldn't participate, just observing it was a must.
"Legend has it that the outer city of Shen Xiao City has twelve domains, comparable to twelve major cities. Each major city has a Heavenly Stairway leading to the inner city of Shen Xiao City. And that mysterious inner city of Shen Xiao City is the place where the Nine Heavens Meeting is held. Now that this Nine Heavens Meeting gathers the winds and clouds of the Nine Heavens, endless powerful experts will rush there. I'm afraid it won't be easy to pass through the Heavenly Stairway and enter the inner city of Shen Xiao City."
Mu Chen slowly said. Yu Xin beside him nodded repeatedly and said, "The twelve domains of the outer city of Shen Xiao City are vast and boundless. Every session of the Nine Heavens Meeting stirs up wind and clouds. Only when the Divine Temple holds the Nine Heavens Meeting will the Heavenly Stairway to the inner city be opened."
Even for people of the Shen Xiao Continent, Shen Xiao City was still like a myth. Especially the inner city—that was the place where the Nine Heavens Meeting was held.
"There's still quite some time until the Nine Heavens Meeting. But it has already begun to ferment across the Nine Heavens Continent. People from all over are rushing to the Shen Xiao Continent. It's not an exaggeration to call it the grandest event of the Nine Heavens."
"En. We still have a long way to go to Shen Xiao City. We can consider the route." Mu Chen said with a smile. This time, the people of the Heavenly Terrace had come to the Shen Xiao Continent. Naturally, they couldn't just head straight for Shen Xiao City. They could enjoy the scenery along the way.
"Big Senior Brother is right. That's what I was thinking too. Perhaps there will be opportunities along the way. Of course, we can leave more time for the twelve domains of Shen Xiao City. Once we determine the route, we can set out." Hou Qinglin responded with a smile, then looked at Lin Feng. "Lin Feng, what do you think?"
"I want to go to the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion." Lin Feng's words made Hou Qinglin's expression freeze for a moment. This fellow actually wanted to go to the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion.
Lin Feng had been preparing these past few days to refine Ye Que and the other two into Demon Puppets. With Ye Que's talent, if he could be refined into a Demon Puppet and then supplemented with the Heavenly Derivation Scripture, his talent would surely be even better, surpassing even Gu Yao Holy Maiden. From the mouths of those captives, he had also learned some information about the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion. He was somewhat drawn to this place and planned to make a trip there.
"It seems you already have a plan in mind." Hou Qinglin said with a smile. "That's fine. In fact, with so many of us from the Heavenly Terrace, we can even split into several groups and travel separately, eventually gathering at Shen Xiao City."
"En. That's what I was thinking too. Traveling together with so many people is rather inconvenient. We can split into four groups. Big Senior Brother, do you want to rest or travel with everyone else?" Lin Feng asked Mu Chen.
"Let's see. Xiao Yue and I can travel together and enjoy the scenery along the way." Mu Chen said with a smile.
"That won't do. I'll have that puppet body guard you from afar." Lin Feng said. Mu Chen and Jing Xiaoyue looked at each other, then smiled and nodded. "Alright. Then we'll meet at Shen Xiao City."
Since Mu Chen had agreed, Lin Feng felt a bit more at ease. With the Sacred Body guarding them, nothing unexpected would happen. As for the other senior and junior brothers, there was no need to worry too much. They were all strong-willed, people who wanted to tread the peak of martial arts. They didn't need his excessive concern.
In the end, it was decided that everyone would split into five groups: Lin Feng's group; Mu Chen and Jing Xiaoyue's group; Hou Qinglin, Tian Chi, and a few others' group; Jing Shou, Sword Blind, and their group; Ruoxie, Tantai, Yu Xin, and their group.
After gathering for a few days, the people of the Heavenly Terrace separated again. On the vast land, Lin Feng and Tang Youyou traveled leisurely. Along the way, Lin Feng twice entered the Demon Pool to undergo the refinement of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Art, making his physical body even stronger. He couldn't predict how many terrifying monstrous prodigies would appear at the Nine Heavens Meeting. The Thirteen Young Masters of Qingxiao Land and the Heavenly Soul Saint already had the power to contend with him. Moreover, in the Shen Xiao Continent, there were also powerful experts like the First Lord of Qingxiao. They would all gather together. And speaking of the Heavenly Soul Saint, as an Ancient Saint level expert, he would surely progress quickly. Therefore, Lin Feng had to make his strength reach a peak—the stronger, the better.
The Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion would be a training ground for him in the Nine Heavens Continent. He would witness the Ten Thousand Array Murals there and comprehend how the vast array dao was applied.
The array dao Lin Feng cultivated was the foundation of arrays, with large and small array dao built steadily. However, regarding the ever-changing nature and application of arrays, the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion surely had things worth learning. That was why he thought of making a trip there.
The Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion was located in a mountain range between cities, separated from the cities. It was an independent space, perched atop a jade-like immortal mountain, as if standing in the sky, like a city beyond the heavens.
Lin Feng walked through the void and saw that majestic place. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It was indeed a good place. At the center of eight surrounding cities, it was like nine dragons embracing the sky, standing alone and detached from the world.
"The Heavenly Array Stele is there." Lin Feng's gaze fell upon a stone tablet attached to the mountain wall. That was the Heavenly Array Stele, also the entrance to the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion.
Stepping through the void, Lin Feng arrived before the Heavenly Array Stele. His palm pressed directly onto the stele. In an instant, light shone brilliantly. Lin Feng felt as if he had entered an array dao space, with endless killing power surging around him.
Lin Feng smiled slightly. He stepped forward, arriving at a place where patterns intersected. His palm struck down directly. Rumbling sounds rang out, and the array dao annihilated. Ahead, the Heavenly Array Stele slowly opened, revealing an entrance. Lin Feng stepped straight inside.
