Chapter 3598

Lin Moyu was suddenly shocked; he felt an inexplicable pressure, the weight of the rules here was unprecedented.

If this object originated from the Hongmeng World, then these rules were the rules of the Hongmeng World; the Hongmeng World would be even stronger than he had imagined.

If it were higher than the Hongmeng World, then it should have come from the other side of the Life Forbidden Zone, appearing in the Hongmeng World.

Perhaps there were Supreme Experts within who had stepped to the other side of the Life Forbidden Zone; any Supreme Expert who had mastered the Tianchu Technique…

…would be guided by the world to see a treasure, and that treasure was on the other side of the Life Forbidden Zone.

Could this be it? If someone saw the world's guidance and stepped across the Life Forbidden Zone to obtain the treasure in that guidance…

…it was not impossible. Lin Moyu carefully sensed it, but could only perceive the weight of its rules.

It far surpassed the Nine-Wheel World, but he could not see much else; he knew it was because his level was not yet high enough.

This matter could not be rushed; he could only take it one step at a time. Very well.

He would first borrow these rules to try and hone his Dao of arrays. If his arrays…

…could surpass this Chessboard of All Living Beings, then no matter which world he entered, even if it were the Hongmeng World…

…he would be able to move unimpeded. Furthermore, if one day he were to step into the Life Forbidden Zone…

…he might even be able to resist it for a while by relying on his Dao of arrays. Lin Moyu's thoughts were very bold.

But it was not impossible. This Chessboard of All Living Beings allowed him to see the potential of the Dao of arrays. Compared to other Great Daos…

…the unfathomable nature of world rules and the path of arrays was truly infinitely profound.

Lin Moyu did not pay attention to his own forces, letting them develop on their own, while he focused entirely on studying the runes of the Dao of arrays.

The progress of the highest difficulty world chessboard was extremely fast. Lin Moyu did not care, and his forces' territory was soon occupied by surrounding enemies.

Before long, he was eliminated. Again. Lin Moyu did not pause for a second.

He continued to activate the chessboard and re-entered the game; he was only using the chessboard to study runes.

He ignored everything else. Time and time again, Lin Moyu was eliminated.

Time and time again, he re-entered the game. He treated the world chessboard as a tool, a tool for studying the runes of the Dao of arrays.

This approach would certainly not work for anyone else; their soul power would not hold up and would be exhausted in the blink of an eye.

Even with materials and medicinal pills for replenishment, they could not last long. Only Lin Moyu…

…backed by Little Tree, had as much soul power as he needed. He completely did not need to have so many concerns.

It would not be an exaggeration to say he was squandering it at will. Lin Moyu forgot about time and did not know how many times he had tried.

He did not know how many times he had failed. In countless failures, he absorbed experience and made adjustments to the runes.

Gradually, the purple light within the runes became brighter and brighter, occupying more and more areas.

The runes were turning completely purple; the stronger the purple light, the stronger the runes.

The suppression from the rules they received became weaker, and the Rune Arrays set up with these runes became more powerful.

As the runes became stronger, Lin Moyu discovered that his Dao of arrays was becoming increasingly profound, and his understanding of Rune Arrays…

…was improving at an astonishing speed, surpassing the world and truly stepping outside the world.

An enlightenment arose: he could ignore the constraints of world rules and set up arrays in various worlds.

The arrays carried their own rules, were self-contained, and did not rely on external objects.

They were incomparably powerful. As his Dao of arrays became increasingly powerful, the number of runes he mastered…

…was constantly decreasing. After fine-tuning, the various runes merged with each other.

The Great Dao returned to one. The millions of runes he had once mastered now numbered less than a hundred.

And they were still continuing to decrease. The same was true for the arrays; he used to be able to set up various arrays according to his will.

Whether large or small, strong or weak, the functions and scales of various arrays were all different, but now…

…the number of arrays had decreased accordingly. Any array could be controlled by his will.

He could freely adjust its size, scale, and strength, and the required functions could also move according to his will. It could be said that while there were fewer runes…

…and fewer arrays, not a single function was missing, and they were even simpler and more flexible than before.

Lin Moyu had already seen the final point of the Dao of arrays: runes returning to one, arrays returning to one.

A single thought forms a rune, a single rune forms an array, and finally, the Rune Array returns to one.

The rune is the array, and the array is the rune; whatever array or rune he wanted…

…was all within a single thought. Now, the distance to the end of the Dao of arrays was not far; at least, he had already seen it.

As long as he could see it, he could reach it, just like a distant mountain.

As long as he could see it, no matter how far it was, he could reach it. What he feared…

…was not seeing the end, or even seeing the wrong end, just like Great Venerable Tianzai.

He thought his Dao of arrays was already the peak of the Chaos Ancient Wilderness, that no one could surpass him, and that at most, they could only be on equal footing with him.

When he discovered that Lin Moyu had tampered with his arrays without him knowing, it was already too late.

He had no idea that his so-called limit of the Dao of arrays, in front of Lin Moyu…

…counted for nothing at all. Lin Moyu was eliminated again, and the chessboard dissipated.

Lin Moyu let out a long breath and asked in a low voice, "How long has passed?"

The hongmeng gem said, "Three hundred years have passed." Lin Moyu calculated the time.

Time passed really quickly; in the blink of an eye, three hundred years had gone by. The distance to the arrival of the first Great Tribulation…

…was still over four hundred years. It was a pity that Little Tree had not yet been found; perhaps the opportunity had not yet arrived.

The hongmeng gem hummed, "Observing Master's aura, it seems Master has gained a lot."

Lin Moyu said, "The gains are indeed significant; my Dao of arrays has made great progress."

"There isn't much distance left to the final point, and besides, I have also realized some interesting things."

The hongmeng gem asked curiously, "What things?" Lin Moyu said.

"If I can reach the end of the Dao of arrays, even if my cultivation is not enough, I will be able to step out of the Life Forbidden Zone."

"Just like becoming a Supreme Expert, there is more than one path to step into the Life Forbidden Zone."

"There is likewise more than one path. Using arrays as a shield can block the power of destruction."

"However, that is only stepping into the Life Forbidden Zone; it is not enough to complete what I have deduced."

"The Dao of arrays must be cultivated, but the cultivation realm must not be left behind either. The world core must be found."

The hongmeng gem was obviously a bit worried. "The world core is not easy to find; Master only has a deduction."

"And it also requires the Nine-Wheel World to conduct tests. Whether it will succeed or not is still an unknown."

"Moreover, this time is a bit too short; only over four hundred years remain."

"Even if the Nine-Wheel World is found, it will still take some time for the Yushen World to absorb and refine it."

"It is indeed very tight," Lin Moyu said. "No matter how tight the time is, I must try."

"I hope there will be results from Little Tree's side. I will continue to enter the chessboard and polish the Dao of arrays to the extreme as much as possible."

Chapter 4787: Truly Without Predecessors?

Stepping toward the end of the Dao of arrays, Lin Moyu continued to enter the Chessboard of All Living Beings to hone his Dao of arrays.

The rules within the Chessboard of All Living Beings were heavy; as long as he was inside, he needed to continuously consume soul power. This method was something only Lin Moyu could do.

"Regardless of whether what I am doing is correct, I firmly believe that the path I have chosen…"

"…is the most correct one at the present moment." Lin Moyu's Dao Heart was far superior to Gold Stone; once he determined something, he would see it through to the end.

But if he went wrong halfway, he would firmly change direction without any hesitation.

Firm but not stubborn—it was precisely this kind of Dao Heart that allowed him to walk until now.

The number of runes was still continuously decreasing, and the same was true for the arrays. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred years passed.

Lin Moyu felt an intuition: only three hundred years remained until the first Great Tribulation of the Yushen World.

While inside the Chessboard of All Living Beings, Lin Moyu saw the Wall of Heaven and Earth appear again, like a countdown of three, two, one.

The Wall of Heaven and Earth was the first Great Tribulation of the Yushen World, starting the countdown. Lin Moyu temporarily stopped the runes.

From within the Chessboard of All Living Beings, he watched the suddenly appearing Wall of Heaven and Earth, as if he had realized something.

The Wall of Heaven and Earth could pass through the rules of the Chessboard of All Living Beings; clearly, the level of the Wall of Heaven and Earth was higher than that of the Chessboard of All Living Beings.

"Just as I had expected, the Wall of Heaven and Earth will be the end of everything. And to reach this end…"

"…is very difficult. The obstacles and enemies I face next will no longer be those cultivators."

"But rather the rules formed by the Life Forbidden Zone and the Wall of Heaven and Earth. If there are still enemies, perhaps that is it."

Lin Moyu slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again after a breath, there was nothing in his gaze but determination.

A game of chess ended, and Lin Moyu left the Chessboard of All Living Beings. Little Tree's urgent voice sounded in his ears.

"Master, found it! I found it!" His heart was filled with joy.

Lin Moyu took a step out and arrived beside Little Tree. Amidst the lush, emerald green branches and leaves…

…a translucent leaf was particularly conspicuous. A spatial channel had already formed on the leaf, but this leaf was not completely transparent.

It was not the same as before. Lin Moyu saw the abnormality; this time, there seemed to be something different.

Little Tree extended its branches and projected an image. In the image, the wreckage of a world was shining in the void.

Even though it was only the wreckage of the Nine-Wheel World, the light and aura it emitted were far superior to the Chaos Ancient Wilderness.

Little Tree said, "This is also my first time coming into contact with the Nine-Wheel World. I don't know if it's because its world barrier is too powerful…"

"…or because of other reasons, I cannot directly establish a spatial channel inside the world."

Lin Moyu frowned slightly. With Little Tree's ability, even if the Nine-Wheel World were even more powerful…

…it should not be like this; there must be another reason. The hongmeng gem stared at the projection for a while.

It seemed to have seen something. "I feel that this world is somewhat abnormal. It is not Little Tree's problem."

"It is the problem of this world." Lin Moyu hummed. "Little Tree, tell me."

"What is the situation now?" Little Tree said, "I cannot enter inside."

"I can only establish the exit of the spatial channel outside the world barrier, about a thousand miles away from the world barrier."

Lin Moyu understood. The exit of the spatial channel built by Little Tree was still a thousand miles away from the world barrier.

This thousand miles was the scope of the Life Forbidden Zone. If he wanted to enter this Nine-Wheel World, he would have to face the Life Forbidden Zone directly.

Crossing this thousand miles—a thousand miles was not far, not even needing a step.

But this was the Life Forbidden Zone; those who stepped in would die. Among countless Supreme Experts…

…there were not many who could traverse a thousand miles in the Life Forbidden Zone, and he was not yet a Supreme Expert.

The hongmeng gem said, "Master, if you want to go, not only do you have to cross the thousand-mile area…"

"…but you also have to punch a hole in the world barrier. Only in this way can Little Tree's power…"

"…enter the world and leave a retreat for Master. Even after entering the world…"

"…you still have to return after refining the world core. A retreat must be left." Lin Moyu said, "Are you so sure…"

"…that I can cross the thousand-mile forbidden zone?" The hongmeng gem giggled, "If Master couldn't pass…"

"…you wouldn't think so much at all. Since Master has thought about it, there must be a way."

Having stayed with Lin Moyu for a long time, the hongmeng gem already understood Lin Moyu's style of doing things very well. Lin Moyu chuckled and did not speak.

He closed his eyes slightly and pondered a solution. There was indeed a solution.

He did not have one before, but now he seemed to have one. These years in the Chessboard of All Living Beings were not spent in vain.

His Dao of arrays had already surpassed the world. According to his own method of classification, it was already an array above the world.

And above the world was the Life Forbidden Zone. When he divided the Dao of arrays into two levels, it was based on the Life Forbidden Zone.
