Lin Moyu observed the formations, analyzing and deconstructing them, only to discover that these formations could not actually be broken.

He could only temporarily make them pause, and even that wouldn't last long, but regardless, he had found the path and could finally take action.

He quickly locked onto the formation manipulating the giant sword.

After just a few minutes, he had analyzed the basics and was ready to start breaking it, but at that moment, the due boat was struck by the giant sword and sent flying.

It landed in another formation, where infinite sharp arrows materialized and rained down densely upon the due boat.

Lin Moyu found himself trapped in a different formation; the method of breaking it he had just observed was now useless, and he had to observe again.

He re-examined this rain-of-arrows formation, searching for a way to pause it amidst the dense barrage, but just as he found a clue, the due boat was blasted into yet another area.

Lin Moyu faced a new formation again; this time, countless phantoms wielding weapons besieged the due boat, causing it to rock violently, and Lin Moyu continued to observe.

But as soon as he found a lead, the due boat was knocked into other formations; there were hundreds or thousands of formations here.

The due boat kept drifting through various formations, unable to stop at all.

After a long while, Lin Moyu hadn't managed to break even a single formation.

No, the method of breaking the situation was wrong!

Lin Moyu finally realized that his previous thinking was incorrect; to unravel the layout here, he could not break the formations one by one.

Instead, he had to break the entire situation, and Lin Moyu's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

He scanned the entire void, realizing that behind all the formations, there must be one hidden formation.

That formation was the key; he viewed all the formations as a formation group, and behind this group, there must be a main formation controlling it.

What he was trapped in were merely sub-formations; breaking the sub-formations was meaningless; he had to break the main formation.

To break the main formation, he had to find it first, but it was hidden.

It was not easy to find, but the more difficult it was, the more excited Lin Moyu became.

This was not just a game of solving a puzzle, but a rare learning opportunity; the attainments of Great Venerable Tianzai in formations seemed even more astonishing than he had imagined.

This confirmed to Lin Moyu once again that without the due boat, even a Chaos Realm Perfection would certainly fall here, even if they could find a way to pass the divine lightning.

The methods of a Great Venerable were not something a Chaos Realm Perfection could imagine.

Time passed day by day.

For a full hundred days, Lin Moyu drifted like a fallen leaf, flying around in the formations, with various attacks never ceasing for a moment.

Lin Moyu finally discovered some clues amidst the massive amount of attacks; Great Venerable Tianzai had hidden the main formation very well.

Chapter 4335: Ancestor of the Divine Phoenix Clan

The main formation was scattered, divided into different areas, and connected through sub-formations.

Every sub-formation had a vein connecting to the main formation; even if one were to look at this vein when the formations were calm, it wouldn't necessarily be easy to find, let alone now when the formations were active.

Lin Moyu was submerged in attacks like a tsunami every moment, making it even harder to discover.

However, Lin Moyu still found it; previously, when studying the sub-formations, Lin Moyu had discovered that there would be a useless formation vein within each sub-formation.

Following the vein, he finally found the main formation, and Lin Moyu locked onto the formation eye.

Next, he had to find a way to control the main formation; the main formation was vast, and Lin Moyu knew he couldn't take it over.

The best result would be to make it pause for a moment; a moment was enough!

The veins hidden in the sub-formations were his tools!

After waiting for the due boat to switch to another formation again, Lin Moyu quickly locked onto the vein in this formation that connected to the main formation.

A Chaos Rune unique to Lin Moyu flew out from the massive amount of attacks and landed in the vein of the sub-formation; the rune turned into flowing water, reaching the main formation along the vein.

Then it condensed back into a Chaos Rune and drilled into the eye of the main formation; Boom!

Accompanying a roar, the space trembled violently, and then everything returned to silence.

It stopped; all the formations in the palace stopped, but Lin Moyu knew this was only temporary.

This massive formation had the ability to self-repair; the entire set of formations was like a machine running with precision.

His rune was like a piece of foreign debris jammed into the gears, causing the entire machine to stop running temporarily; it was only temporary.

The debris would soon be cleared away, and the entire set of formations would immediately recover; time was limited.

Lin Moyu's gaze swept across the entire scene, and he recorded the entire formation; this formation was very strong, exceeding his current capabilities, and could be used for reference and learning.

After just a few dozen breaths, he felt that his rune had been worn away by more than half; he could not wait any longer!

With a thought, the due boat turned into a streak of light and rushed towards the eye of the main formation; the exit of this massive formation was right at the eye of the main formation; everywhere else was a dead end.

The due boat smashed through it like shattering a piece of glass, rushing out from the eye with a crisp sound, and the view before him suddenly opened up.

Lin Moyu knew he had finally truly entered the palace of the Divine Phoenix Clan ancestor; a giant statue appeared before his eyes; the statue was a Divine Phoenix with its wings spread, ready to fly.

The tail had very distinct twelve golden feathers; this was the ancestor of the Divine Phoenix Clan!

Lin Moyu frowned.

The statue before him was very strange; although it was a statue, it gave people a feeling of being full of vitality, as if the statue were a living thing.

He instinctively thought of the statue of Master Tianxu; although Master Tianxu had turned into a statue, he was actually a living thing.

The statue was like a form of self-sealing; the statue of the Divine Phoenix ancestor before him was the same.

Above the statue, an old man sat cross-legged, looking at him with a smile; he was wearing a robe woven from feathers.

At the collar, there were twelve golden feathers; "You have finally come!"

The old man beckoned to Lin Moyu, signaling him to come over; Lin Moyu flew out from the due boat.

He had a feeling that this old man had no malice, and he had already guessed the other party's identity.

The Divine Phoenix ancestor, and also a piece in the game of Great Venerable Tianzai; Lin Moyu arrived before the Divine Phoenix ancestor.

He bowed, "Lin Moyu has seen the God…" Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the Divine Phoenix ancestor.

"Do not say it. This old man is already a dead man; this name should not be mentioned again."

Lin Moyu understood; "Senior, were you waiting for this junior here?"

The Divine Phoenix ancestor said, "The path ahead is hard to determine. Since this old man has entered the game, I can only walk this path to the end."

"Does Little Friend think this old man made the right choice?"

Lin Moyu said, "We cultivators go against the heavens."

"If there is a blue sky above, then break this blue sky and stand as the sky yourself."

"Haha!"

The Divine Phoenix ancestor laughed happily; "Not bad, not bad."

"Cultivators should indeed be like this. Although our bloodlines are strong, success also comes from the bloodline, and failure comes from the bloodline."

"Our limits seem to be fixed there; it is almost impossible to go any further."

"However, all of this is determined by the heavens, and this old man refuses to believe in the heavens."

"I also want to break this sky."

Lin Moyu said, "This junior will certainly work hard."

"Although it is difficult to say it is not small, it is not without hope."

The Divine Phoenix ancestor said, "You carry his will, but you are also different from him. You can utilize his layout."

"Perhaps it will be useful."

Great Venerable Tianzai had made many layouts to counter the Dao.

But even Great Venerable Tianzai himself could not guarantee that his layouts would definitely be useful; this was a gamble.

Bet right and you can stand as the sky; bet wrong and you will be doomed forever.

Lin Moyu said, "Actually, this junior has always had a question in my heart. I wonder if Senior can clear up my doubts?"

The Divine Phoenix ancestor wore a kind smile; "Little Friend, please speak."

Lin Moyu asked, "He once said, 'I am him, and I am not him.' What does this mean?"

"Please, Senior, clear up my doubts."

The Divine Phoenix ancestor looked at Lin Moyu with a smile; "Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

Lin Moyu said, "This junior is only guessing and cannot be certain."

The Divine Phoenix ancestor said, "This old man does not know the true answer to this either. This old man is just one link in it."

"There are many others like me."

"If Little Friend wants to solve the mystery, then only at the moment of standing as the sky yourself, can you do so."

Lin Moyu seemed to have expected this answer long ago and sighed softly.

"This junior understands. This junior will walk this path to the end."

The Divine Phoenix ancestor squinted his eyes, his smile becoming even kinder; "Then this old man will tell you about his layout."

"Little Friend, please take out that object."

Lin Moyu took out the scepter of calamity.

He knew that some things needed to be said through the scepter of calamity; otherwise, it was highly likely to be heard by the Dao, and then all the layouts of Great Venerable Tianzai would be in vain.

Under the signal of the Divine Phoenix ancestor, Lin Moyu gently touched one end of the scepter of calamity to the statue.

The statue was the true body of the Divine Phoenix ancestor; now his true body was sealed, but transmitting some information was still no problem.

He followed the arrangements of Great Venerable Tianzai to send all the necessary words to the scepter of calamity.

Lin Moyu then obtained this information through the scepter of calamity; actually, the amount of information was not large.

Great Venerable Tianzai had divided everything into many parts, and this was only a small part.

After reading it, Lin Moyu's expression was somewhat complex; Three Domains, Four Poles, and a dangerous place in the Ancient Wilderness.

The Divine Phoenix ancestor said, "This is Little Friend's first step. This old man has guarded here for countless years."

"My mission is complete; the dominance of the next step is handed over to Little Friend."

"This old man should also go there."

The place he was going to was the same place Master Tianxu was going to; this was also the arrangement of Great Venerable Tianzai.

Lin Moyu now only saw the tip of the iceberg of this grand layout, and there were too many things that he could not see clearly.

Lin Moyu asked, "Senior, why did the Ancestral City become like this back then?"

The Divine Phoenix ancestor said, "It wasn't because of that guy."

Lin Moyu once again touched the scepter of calamity to the true body of the Divine Phoenix ancestor, only then did he know what happened back then.

Chapter 4336: The Future Path

The Divine Phoenix ancestor opened a spatial passage and escaped into the void and left; he went to the same place as Master Tianxu.

Lin Moyu did not know where they went, but he was very certain that their departure would not mean they would just lie flat, but that they were going to do more important things.

Great Venerable Tianzai had laid such a grand layout, experiencing countless years, how could it be so simple?

Like Master Tianxu, the Divine Phoenix ancestor were both important figures; besides them, there were also Green Robe and White Robe, who were figures hiding behind the scenes and secretly controlling the whole situation.

This was a secret plan involving at least three Great Venerables and participated in by a large number of Perfection-level Experts.

Lin Moyu did not leave the palace of the Divine Phoenix ancestor; he reviewed the large amount of information he had obtained and sorted it out.

The Divine Phoenix ancestor had sent the matters entrusted by Great Venerable Tianzai through the scepter of calamity.

Great Venerable Tianzai had a premonition back then that he would fail because he started too late, and many things were not done solidly.

Even if he had tried his best to make up for it, it was of no use, so he laid out plans.

So that after he failed, there would still be a chance to come back; he had laid out a large formation in each of the Four Poles and Three Domains.
