# Chapter 2124: Does the Formation Have a Spirit?
Lin Feng glanced at Yang Xiao. Naturally, he wouldn't easily believe the other party's words now, especially within the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion. As a stranger here, he needed to be more cautious. With this person around, his movements would likely be hindered. Therefore, Lin Feng refused very directly: "No need, I'll go alone."
Yang Xiao wasn't surprised by Lin Feng's words and just smiled slightly, saying: "Even if you refuse, I'll try my best to follow you. If you encounter any Emperor realm figures from the Supreme Mansion and conflict arises, I might be able to help you a little."
"Thank you for your kindness, but it's not needed." After Lin Feng said this, his figure suddenly flashed out, his entire body as if wrapped within a fierce wind, surging forward like a swift lightning bolt. However, behind him, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Yang Xiao's mouth. This Mu Feng wanted to shake him off?
With a step of his foot, formations were embedded beneath his steps. Yang Xiao moved one step per void, racing through the void like flowing light and phantom shadows. For those at the Martial Emperor realm, as long as they cultivated some Sacred Mark power, they could walk on marks or advance using laws, allowing their speed to be faster. However, for those truly formidable in array dao, they could achieve the reality of one step per void—each step they took was a complete small formation.
Lin Feng sensed Yang Xiao following behind and couldn't help but narrow his pupils slightly, thinking that this guy was quite fast. However, he didn't stop. Since he wanted to follow, let him follow.
The First Cave Heaven of Qian Mansion was extremely vast, and what was most abundant here were array ores. However, these array ores could not be privately owned. The eighty-one mansions had a total of several hundred cave heavens, and like the Ten Thousand Arrays Painting Wall, they were treasures of the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion, untouchable. Even a mansion master could not touch them. Only those who were still disciples of the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion could enter the cave heavens to seek opportunities.
The Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion had been passed down for so many years, gradually becoming an extremely terrifying force. Naturally, there was a reason for this. These several hundred cave heavens and the Ten Thousand Arrays Painting Wall were all extremely precious treasures, passed down from generation to generation, eternal and unbroken. This First Cave Heaven of Qian Mansion was rarely opened, precisely to maintain its continuity and prevent excessive destruction of the resources within the cave heaven. The sedimentation of time allowed them to undergo self-repair.
"So many array ores, but most are small-scale ones." Lin Feng muttered softly, his figure continuing forward. What kind of opportunities did this ancient Qian Mansion cave heaven hold, that it only opened once every hundred years?
"Demon beasts?" At this moment, Lin Feng's gaze looked down below. There, he saw a demon wolf—a black demon wolf with a pair of dark, cold eyes filled with a chilling aura. Upon seeing Lin Feng, this massive demon wolf's body directly charged into the void, its sharp claws suddenly swinging out at Lin Feng, its enormous body seeming to want to tear Lin Feng apart entirely. Several dark streaks cut through the void.
"Such strong power." Lin Feng's gaze condensed slightly. The demon wolf's claws struck down, as if a destructive black storm was crushing down, tearing everything apart.
Lin Feng could naturally sense the strength of the opponent's power. His fist light directly blasted out, piercing through the demon wolf's claws and tearing apart its body. However, in an instant, the demon wolf's body transformed into strands of dark demonic light, dispersing into the void without any flesh and blood.
This scene made Lin Feng's pupils contract. He stared at the dark demonic light gathering ahead. The demon wolf reappeared, reassembled, its cold eyes staring at him, making him feel a deep, chilling intent.
"What kind of monster is this?" Lin Feng exclaimed softly. The demon wolf pounced again, but this time Lin Feng didn't blast it apart directly. Instead, he reached out his hand and suddenly grabbed toward the demon wolf, actually seizing its body firmly. Then, a terrifying devouring power emanated from Lin Feng's body. A dark head seemed to burrow out from Lin Feng's body, suddenly swallowing the demon wolf in one gulp, then burrowing back into Lin Feng's body, merging into his bloodline.
"It's not a real demon beast." After swallowing the demon wolf, a sharp gleam flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. That wolf demon had no flesh and blood; it wasn't a true demon beast.
"Of course it's not a real demon beast. This is an array demon." At this moment, a figure stepped forward, none other than Yang Xiao who had been following Lin Feng. Lin Feng looked at him, and Yang Xiao said: "Mu Feng, this cave heaven is the small world of an ancestor of the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion. This immortal possessed great wisdom and was full of creative talent. He was dissatisfied with the limitations of array dao, so he wanted to give spirit to formations. He imitated formations giving birth to living beings, using great creative power to create array dao holy spirits, which are the array demons you see."
"Such great ambition. This person must have been a peerless genius, pioneering a new domain." Lin Feng was shocked inwardly. The Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion produced extraordinary talents. This ancestor of the Qian Mansion cave heaven was said to be an array craftsman, comparable to ancient saints, full of wisdom and creativity, actually wanting to give spirit to formations.
"However, this post-natal spirit is ultimately not as powerful as a pre-natal conceived spirit. The Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion has ancestral teachings: if a formation conceives a living spirit, it is a natural-born array craftsman, appearing once in a million years, something that can be encountered but not sought. The ancestors left so many array ores here, even some extremely terrifying ones, just to see if there was hope of witnessing a pre-natal array spirit."
"There is so much knowledge within array dao." Lin Feng thought to himself. Pre-natal array spirits, post-natal created spirits—both were wonders within arrays. If he hadn't come to the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion, he would never have known this array dao knowledge. However, he was still somewhat skeptical. Could living beings really be created from nothing? Could formations give birth to them? Perhaps the ancestors of the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion had deceived their descendants? After all, this was just a rumor.
"Thank you for the guidance." Lin Feng laughed, then stepped forward again, heading into the distance. Yang Xiao stared at Lin Feng's back, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
In the void, a demon beast circled—it was an array eagle—suddenly pouncing toward Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao snorted coldly, his palm trembling. Terrifying array light danced, suddenly transforming into terrifying blood-sucking silk threads that went toward the array eagle's body. At the same time, an extremely terrifying beam shot out from between his eyebrows, directly rushing into the array eagle's head. After a moment, the array eagle completely transformed into formless power, vanishing like smoke and dispersing like clouds.
"Impressive." At this moment, a voice came. Yang Xiao turned his gaze and saw the figure of Purple Emperor stepping over.
"What are you here for?" Yang Xiao looked at Purple Emperor, speaking indifferently.
"Yang Xiao, you deliberately told Lin Feng that I would deal with him, just to keep him by your side. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to appreciate it. He won't even travel with you, let alone let you figure out his background. If you want to get him, it probably won't be as easy as you imagine. After all, this person is unfathomably deep. Even my palm strike didn't seriously injure him." Purple Emperor said with a faint smile, causing Yang Xiao's brow to furrow. He said coldly: "So what? Don't tell me you want to interfere with my affairs?"
"Yang Xiao, in this Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion, everyone respects and fears you. Even the elders make disciples keep their distance from you, deliberately establishing iron laws that you cannot use your talent to harm fellow disciples within the mansion. But this time entering the cave heaven, it seems your old problem is acting up again. Of course, as long as you don't target others, I don't care if you target that person. I can even help you." Purple Emperor said with a faint smile.
This made Yang Xiao's expression condense. Purple Emperor continued: "I know that no matter what you do, with your talent, the elders of Qian Mansion will let you be. But they won't help you do anything—that's your own business. So cooperation between us is the most beneficial."
"What do you want?" Yang Xiao looked at Purple Emperor, speaking coldly.
"I want you to share with me everything you get from him." Purple Emperor said indifferently, causing Yang Xiao to sneer: "Ridiculous. Purple Emperor, you're at the Emperor realm, yet you covet a Martial Emperor?"
"That's where you're wrong. Martial arts learning has no end. This person's talent is formidable, his array engraving is strong—he must have something remarkable. Besides, cooperating with me won't cause you any loss. Before the Nine Heavens Gathering, suddenly raising your strength by another level—wouldn't that be even better?"
"Purple Emperor, you're really treacherous." Yang Xiao said coldly.
"Just mutual understanding." Purple Emperor responded with a faint smile. Between the two, some kind of tacit understanding seemed to have been reached.
Lin Feng knew nothing of this. At this moment, his figure descended upon a mine vein. Before him, something inside the mine vein seemed to be wriggling. Then, a massive ore directly jumped out. With a cracking sound, the array ore split open, falling downward. Inside, a huge golden spider appeared. This spider's eyes were also golden, and this golden-body-cast spider also carried a trace of dark intent.
"Another array demon." Lin Feng's gaze condensed. Then, the spider crawled forward. In an instant, Lin Feng felt light patterns shimmering in the void around him, instantly wrapping around him. Those strands were extremely sturdy, making it impossible to escape. Moreover, this formation was continuously evolving, wanting to completely bind Lin Feng inside.
"This array demon can also use formations?" Lin Feng was quite shocked in his heart. How did a formation become a spirit? Lin Feng very much wanted to know.
Although Lin Feng had now witnessed the wonders of array dao and could himself engrave arrays to create demons, he still felt that those were just formations, not real demon beasts. But what he was seeing now seemed to want to overturn his understanding.
"For a living being to be born, a soul must be conceived. Does this formation have a soul?" A cold light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. Terrifying sharp swords tore through everything on his body, and the threads entangling him were continuously torn apart.
