Chapter 4739: Using the Laws of Heaven and Earth as the Array Foundation
In less than a single day, her cultivation had risen by fifty percent and her combat strength had doubled.
Such a thing was something she would not have dared to dream about, yet it had actually happened to her.
At this level, anyone else wanting to raise their cultivation even a little would need all kinds of conditions, insight, and fortunate encounters.
But in Lin Moyu's eyes, it was all so easy.
Lin Mohan's heart was both joyful and complicated at this moment.
"No wonder little brother dares to say that becoming a supreme is not the end.
It is impossible to tell where little brother's end point might be."
Lin Moyu said, "Now big sister's combat strength is not weaker than anyone's.
If we join forces, big sister will definitely sit upon the throne of the supreme."
Lin Mohan asked, "Xiaoyu's plan is surely foolproof, and big sister will become the supreme."
Lin Moyu said, "Once big sister has become the supreme, little brother will give you another gift."
A powerful aura surged up in the distance, and Lin Moyu and Lin Mohan turned their heads at the same time.
Lin Moyu said in a low voice, "A Great Venerate has come."
Lin Mohan said, "It is the Black Cloud Great Venerate of the Lower Domain.
He left many years ago, and to think he would return now."
Lin Moyu said, "From what I know, the Black Cloud Great Venerate is a good friend of the Calamity Great Venerate."
Lin Mohan shook her head.
"Not a good friend.
To be precise, the Black Cloud Great Venerate is the Calamity Great Venerate's junior fellow disciple.
They come from the same sect and are bound by life and death.
Back then, the Black Cloud Great Venerate always followed at the Calamity Great Venerate's side."
"The fact that he could sit in the position of Great Venerate is at least half due to the Calamity Great Venerate's contribution."
From what Lin Mohan said, the Black Cloud Great Venerate was obviously on the same side as the Calamity Great Venerate.
Lin Mohan continued, "He was not in the Lower Domain before, so my guess is that he knew about the Calamity Great Venerate's affairs."
Lin Moyu took out the Calamity Scepter and sent his voice into the Hongmeng Gem.
"Take a look at him.
Does he carry the aura of the Calamity Great Venerate?"
The Hongmeng Gem stood on a high enough level to perceive many things without being noticed by the Black Cloud Great Venerate.
The gem glimmered faintly, and before long it replied, "There is the aura of the Time Essence Stone on him."
That aura of the Time Essence Stone was all that was needed.
The Calamity Great Venerate had once obtained a Time Essence Stone and made use of it.
He would certainly carry the aura of the Time Essence Stone on his body.
The Time Essence Stone had a particular trait: once used, it would stain the user with a unique aura.
This aura could persist for hundreds of millions of years without dispersing and could even be passed on to those who remained in close contact for extended periods.
The Time Essence Stone was extremely rare in number.
The Calamity Great Venerate had obtained one, and the Black Cloud Great Venerate bearing this aura most likely meant that he had been at the Calamity Great Venerate's side for a long time and thus had been tainted by that aura.
Lin Mohan found it a little strange.
"How odd.
Why would he choose to return at this moment?"
Lin Moyu said, "There must be a reason.
The great tribulation is about to reach its peak, so the Calamity Great Venerate should be getting ready to make his move."
"In his arrangement, the four Great Venerates Black Cloud, Boyang, Purple Star, and Bai Zhong along with several quasi‑Great Venerates, are all his chess pieces.
If he is going to act, those pieces will certainly move first."
"Especially this Black Cloud Great Venerate.
Aside from being a chess piece, he is probably also the Calamity Great Venerate's messenger."
"If the guess is correct, his target this time should be the Space Divine Mountain."
The Calamity Great Venerate's primary targets would surely be "Dao" and the Mixed‑Sky Wild Dragon, especially "Dao," since the Calamity Great Venerate had once borrowed him as part of his scheme.
He would be most familiar with "Dao."
Those twelve arrays were prepared precisely for "Dao."
The Space Divine Mountain was the true body of "Dao."
Given the Calamity Great Venerate's nature, once he chose to act, it would be with a thunderous strike aimed at killing his opponent in one blow and never giving them a chance to rise again.
From the Black Cloud Great Venerate's sudden return, one could almost deduce that the first target of the Calamity Great Venerate's move would be "Dao."
Besides "Dao," there was also Lin Moyu himself.
When the time came, the Calamity Great Venerate would definitely activate his grand arrays, and Lin Moyu would be the one to bear the backlash.
With one arrow, the Calamity Great Venerate planned to kill two birds, dealing with "Dao" while also extracting benefits from Lin Moyu.
Unfortunately for him, those arrays had already been tampered with by Lin Moyu, so the Calamity Great Venerate's scheme would prove useless.
Lin Mohan said, "Should we kill him first?"
Lin Moyu thought for a moment.
"There is no need.
This is not yet the time for us to make our move."
A large number of runes flew from Lin Moyu's hand, passing through the storm and forming a grand array outside it.
In an instant, the aura of the storm completely vanished.
Using the array, Lin Moyu concealed it.
Lin Moyu said, "There is still some time before the great tribulation reaches its peak.
I need to set some things up.
Big sister, do not be in a hurry to act.
Wait for my word."
Lin Mohan nodded.
"All right, go handle your business."
Lin Moyu came and went quickly.
Once he had given his instructions, he immediately departed.
Time was limited for him.
In his own Yushen Heaven and Earth, there were only nine hundred years left before heaven and earth faced the tribulation of life and death, and he had to raise Yushen Heaven and Earth to its peak within those nine hundred years.
As for the peak of the great tribulation in the Primordial Desolation of Chaos, there were still two to three hundred years remaining.
Lin Moyu traveled through the Lower Domain, and countless runes flowed from his fingertips, silently falling onto the land and sinking into the laws of heaven and earth.
He walked the Lower Domain for several years, traversing every corner, yet no one discovered him or noticed a thing.
Then Lin Moyu headed to the Middle Domain, using ten years to tread across all of it and leave behind innumerable runes.
A mass of runes shrouded Lin Moyu's surroundings, forming an array that hid his every trace of aura.
The level of this array surpassed that of the Primordial Desolation of Chaos and contained the Nine Heavens Fate Art within it, such that even the laws of heaven and earth could not detect Lin Moyu's movements.
After the Middle Domain, Lin Moyu went to the Upper Domain and then to the Four Extremes.
Over the course of nearly a hundred years, he left vast quantities of runes behind in the Three Domains and Four Extremes.
During these hundred‑plus years, the great tribulation grew ever more severe.
Countless living beings were affected and died in droves.
The quasi‑Great Venerates had already begun to take action, further intensifying the ferocity of the battles.
The various Great Venerates remained relatively restrained for the time being, but if the tribulation continued to escalate, they would not be able to stay quiet for long.
Over that century, it was as though the public enemy of heaven and earth, Lin Moyu, had completely vanished from the world.
No one knew where he had gone or what he was doing.
A hundred years later, Lin Moyu entered the Ancient Desolation.
From the Ancient Desolation, he looked back toward the Chaos.
Through the runes he had arranged, Lin Moyu took the entire Chaos into his view.
"Calamity Great Venerate, your array Dao is still too weak."
He chuckled lightly in his heart.
Compared to his own, the array Dao of the Calamity Great Venerate was already not on the same level.
In a hundred years, his runes had spread throughout the Chaos.
By using the laws of heaven and earth as the foundation of his array, he had created something that far surpassed the twelve arrays of the Calamity Great Venerate.
While arranging these arrays, Lin Moyu also deepened his understanding of arrays through the clash of array against array.
Arrays were not just arrays within a given heaven and earth; they were also arrays beyond heaven and earth.
If one could comprehend them to the utmost, they could be used not only in the Primordial Desolation of Chaos, but in other worlds as well, even in Forbidden Zones of Life.
Lin Moyu still clearly remembered the first time he had come into contact with the Wall of Heaven and Earth, when he had caused that barrier to reveal itself.
That barrier was a profoundly mysterious array.
With his array Dao cultivation at the time, he had been unable to see through it.
From that moment, he knew that he was still far from reaching the end point of array Dao.
"Master, another heaven and earth has been found!"
The little tree's voice rang out, and Lin Moyu's consciousness stirred as he entered Yushen Heaven and Earth and appeared before the little tree.
