“Even top-tier geniuses need one to two months.”

"The brat is very familiar with the Rune Array. Based on that, he should be faster than the top geniuses. I wonder if ten days will be enough!"

"Judging by the speed of the Water-Thunder Array, it shouldn't take ten days. Perhaps three to five days will suffice!"

Time passed bit by bit, and the Lei Family officially opened Thunder Mountain.

Sounds of thunder echoed across the heavens and earth, and an array revealed itself.

Everyone held their tokens and entered Thunder Mountain. The array would send people into different areas based on the tokens they held.

There was a huge difference between the Core Area and the ordinary areas.

One by one, people disappeared into the array. Lei Pengpeng and Little Yue walked in hand in hand and vanished.

Mist's eyes grew misty, and she muttered to herself, "I am going to Curse you. You are going to have terrible luck!"

Chapter 2562: How about it, do you agree?

Thunder Mountain opened, and thunder rumbled, but it did not affect Lin Moyu inside the array.

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing's array blocked out all external sounds, allowing Lin Moyu to study in peace.

Four hours later, under Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing's shocked gaze, Lin Moyu suddenly moved.

He flicked out origin crystals, exactly ninety-nine Tier 1 origin crystals, assembling them into a strange structure.

The origin aura used Lin Moyu's soul power as a bridge, quickly completing the connection.

In the blink of an eye, an Artifact Array had formed, but Lin Moyu did not activate it.

Immediately after, he began to draw runes.

One by one, Ancient Runes were drawn and flew into the formed array, merging with it.

Nine complex Ancient Runes flew into the array. Lin Moyu used his soul power as a bridge to connect these nine Ancient Runes, making them a whole.

In the blink of an eye, in the same spatial area, an Artifact Array and a Rune Array existed simultaneously.

However, neither array was activated.

Lin Moyu continued to use his soul power as a bridge to connect the two arrays together.

In an instant, the array activated, and sounds of thunder rang out from within it.

Unlike the majestic thunder outside, this was Yin Thunder, chillingly low and deep.

The thunder in Thunder Mountain was Yang Thunder, carrying a potent masculine energy that burned souls and destroyed physical bodies.

The thunder within the Kui Water Yin-Thunder Array was Yin Thunder. It sounded dull and weak, and it didn't seem to cause any injury when it landed on the body, but in reality, it could cause damage directly from inside the body.

Furthermore, the Yin Thunder would remain in the body, making it difficult to cure.

In the eyes of many, Yin Thunder was harder to deal with than Yang Thunder.

After setting up the array, Lin Moyu looked at Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing. "Senior, is this acceptable?"

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing was speechless. Previously, he had thought Lin Moyu might be able to set up the array within three to five days, provided that he hadn't exaggerated about the Water-Thunder Array.

But he never expected that Lin Moyu would master the array and set it up in only five hours.

The entire process was done in one go. Although the speed wasn't fast, it was definitely something that someone learning it for the first time couldn't achieve.

One might ask, which Array Master didn't progress through failure after failure before finally achieving success?

At this moment, Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing recalled the process of learning the Kui Water Yin-Thunder Array himself; it was truly tearful and snot-filled, a past too painful to look back on.

Hearing Lin Moyu's words and listening to the rumbles of Yin Thunder, Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing said, "It's passable, but the speed of setting up the array is a bit slow, lacking any practicality."

Lin Moyu said, "It is indeed a bit slow. If I could be like Senior and form an array with a wave of my hand, it would be of great use when facing enemies."

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing coughed lightly. "You are still far from reaching my level. However, your talent is good. I have a proposal you might want to consider."

Judging by Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing's attitude and tone, Lin Moyu had already guessed three or four points, but he still said, "Please speak, Senior."

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing said, "I am already a Seventh-Rank Array Grandmaster. I happen to be lacking a disciple right now, and your talent satisfies me. I would like to take you as my disciple."

Lin Moyu showed an apologetic expression. "Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but I already have a Master, so I cannot take you as my Master."

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing frowned. "Where is your Master?"

Lin Moyu shook his head. "I do not know their whereabouts for the time being."

The masters he referred to were Bai Yiyuan, Meng Anwen, and Yan Kuangsheng.

The three were his foundational masters. A teacher for a day is a father for life; Lin Moyu could not take another person as his master.

Looking at Lin Moyu's expression, Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing knew he wasn't lying. "Is your master also a Dao Venerable?"

Lin Moyu shook his head. "No."

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing's brows furrowed even tighter. "Could it be a Celestial Venerable?"

Lin Moyu said, "My masters were my foundational teachers; they are not even in the Super God Realm."

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing was stunned on the spot. "Your foundational teachers are not even in the Super God Realm?"

The Super God Realm was too far away for him. He couldn't imagine how someone who wasn't even in the Super God Realm could cultivate such a young Celestial Venerable.

He could only say that this disciple had powerful talent and relied entirely on his own cultivation, not on his masters' teachings.

Lin Moyu said, "This has nothing to do with cultivation level. A teacher for a day is a father for life."

"When I was insignificant, my masters treated me like a son, so I will treat them like fathers!"

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing also became a bit more serious. "You are now a Celestial Venerable. If your masters aren't even in the Super God Realm, they might already be dead."

Lin Moyu said, "It has nothing to do with life or death. I will not have any other masters in this life!"

Lin Moyu spoke with great determination. This was his true inner thought, which could not be changed.

He didn't say half of what he was thinking. With Meng Anwen and the others missing, he didn't believe Meng Anwen was dead.

In the Ancient Battlefield of the Great World, there were still traces of Shenxia Tower, and Meng Anwen's handwriting remained.

Various signs indicated that Meng Anwen and the others were not dead.

The Green Robe Daoist took the entire Small World away; perhaps that was the reason Meng Anwen could survive.

Seeing Lin Moyu's attitude was so firm, Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing could only sigh helplessly in the end. "Then how about this? I invite you to become an Array Master at the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce."

Lin Moyu already had the intention to develop his own forces, so naturally, he couldn't go to the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce to be an Array Master. However, before he could refuse, Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing continued, "Don't be in such a hurry to refuse."

"I am asking you to be an Array Master, not for you to join the Chamber of Commerce."

"There are quite a few Array Masters in the Chamber of Commerce. Besides direct-line Array Masters like myself, there are also many guest Array Masters."

"These Array Masters don't need to do anything for the Chamber of Commerce usually. They only take action when the Chamber of Commerce makes a request."

"And the Chamber of Commerce will not force them to accept requests; it is all voluntary."

"They can do whatever they want in their spare time, and the Chamber of Commerce will not interfere."

"I can tell you that there are many guest Array Masters in the Chamber of Commerce who are elders of other sects, or even heads of other families. None of that matters."

Usually, they don't have to contribute anything; they only need to take action when the Chamber of Commerce makes a request, and it is voluntary—they can refuse.

Once the Chamber of Commerce's request is completed, they can receive a reward from the Chamber of Commerce.

Was there such a good thing in the world? Lin Moyu found it hard to believe.

Lin Moyu said, "My level of array mastery is so poor, how would I have the qualifications?"

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing said, "You are indeed not qualified right now. The guest Array Masters in the Chamber of Commerce are at least Fourth-Rank Array Masters. However, I value your future. You will definitely become an Array Master, or even an Array Grandmaster, in the future."

"I can also give you a promise here: as long as you agree, I can give you a large amount of array materials for free. These materials are not cheap to buy, and even if you have money, you might not be able to buy them."

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing was like a bad person holding candy to trick a child; he was betting on Lin Moyu's future.

However, for him, if Lin Moyu didn't succeed in the future, all he would lose was a set of materials.

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing said, "How about it, do you agree?"

Chapter 2563: Deep in the Mountains, Ten Deaths and No Life

Facing Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing's 'kind invitation,' Lin Moyu couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Although he had only been exposed to a few arrays, Lin Moyu had already developed a strong interest in the path of arrays.

For example, the Kui Water Yin-Thunder Array he had personally set up could be broken down into a Rune Array and an Artifact Array.

The Kui Water Yin-Thunder Array was almost at the top among Second-Rank arrays, while the separated Rune Array was only a First-Rank array, and the Artifact Array was the most ordinary among Second-Rank arrays.

After the two were combined, they became a top-tier Second-Rank array.

The combination of an Artifact Array and a Rune Array was very powerful, piquing Lin Moyu's interest.

Now, with such a great benefit laid out in front of him, Lin Moyu naturally wouldn't refuse.

Lin Moyu said, "I agree!"

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing laughed heartily. "Good, good! Come, come, I will take you back to the Chamber of Commerce to sign the agreement. But before that, you must go to the Array Master Association to register as an Array Master."

As he spoke, he removed his array, and the sound of thunder from outside immediately flooded in.

Lin Moyu quickly stopped him. "No rush. My disciple has already entered Thunder Mountain; let's go back together after she comes out."

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing thought about it. "That is true, there is no need to rush. However, I can give you the basic materials for an Array Master first."

As he spoke, he stuffed a jade token into Lin Moyu's hand. "This contains most of the information for Array Masters, as well as most of the First to Third-Rank arrays."

"I will give you the other materials later!"

Boom!

Suddenly, a clap of thunder sounded above their heads.

The thunder was very close, right by their ears, and at the same time, a massive force was gathering above their heads.

Lin Moyu looked up and saw that at some point, a black cloud had appeared in the sky. Electric snakes danced and swirled within the black cloud, as if they would strike down at any moment.

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing's expression changed. "Oh no, hurry and put away the Kui Water Yin-Thunder Array!"

At this moment, the Kui Water Yin-Thunder Array was still running, emitting dull rumbles of thunder.

Lin Moyu finally realized that the black cloud in the sky was not locking onto him, but the Kui Water Yin-Thunder Array.

The thunder of Thunder Mountain was Yang Thunder, and the thunder of the Kui Water Yin-Thunder Array was Yin Thunder.

Yin and Yang generate and restrain each other. The appearance of the Kui Water Yin-Thunder Array had broken a special balance, attracting a large amount of Yang Thunder.

Lei Sanxiang also noticed the abnormality here. Originally, under the control of the Lei Family, thunder should not have appeared here.

Lin Moyu immediately wanted to put away the Kui Water Yin-Thunder Array, but he discovered that the Kui Water Yin-Thunder Array had lost control and could not be withdrawn.

It seemed to be locked by some kind of power and had solidified there.

"I cannot withdraw the array." Lin Moyu tried several times, but all ended in failure.

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing also discovered this and shouted in a low voice, "Cut off the connection with the array!"

The Kui Water Yin-Thunder Array was set up by Lin Moyu, and there was a special connection between him and the array.

Lin Moyu immediately cut off the connection with the Kui Water Yin-Thunder Array, but he was still a step too late.

Just as his consciousness rose, a bolt of thunder fell from the sky and slammed onto the Kui Water Yin-Thunder Array.

The Kui Water Yin-Thunder Array shattered on the spot. How could a mere Second-Rank array compare to the thunder of Thunder Mountain?

The thunder of Thunder Mountain shattered the Kui Water Yin-Thunder Array with overwhelming force, and a large amount of thunder power followed the connection between their souls and struck toward Lin Moyu.

The power of the thunder was shockingly great, already exceeding the limit of a Celestial Venerable.

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing let out a heavy shout. His Dao Venerable power erupted, and he pointed a finger, landing exactly on the thunder.

Runes flickered at his fingertip, and an array was generated instantly.

Bang!

Amidst the sound of shattering, Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing was blasted back with a muffled groan, and the array at his fingertip shattered on the spot.

The power of the thunder was shockingly great; it was as if the appearance of the Kui Water Yin-Thunder Array had enraged it.

"What powerful force!" Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing thought to himself. The power of the thunder exceeded his imagination; he couldn't block it in his haste.

Even a Dao Venerable couldn't block it, let alone Lin Moyu.
