The Human Emperor’s power has greatly increased, which also means he can control the entire Yudao City.

This situation is somewhat similar to Shang City of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce. There is no need for the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce's personnel to intervene; if there is any trouble in the city, Lu Lian can handle it.

Therefore, it is not impossible for Yudao City to make contact with the outside world now.

Once Yudao City is opened, the cultivators of Yudao City can interact with outside cultivators, and they can also travel to the outside world themselves.

Seeing Lin Moyu silent, Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing was clearly impatient. "Are you going to do it or not? Give me a straight answer. Since when did you become so indecisive?"

Lin Moyu chuckled. "Elder Lu, this is not a small matter; I need to think it through."

He then looked at President Lu Xue. "President Lu Xue, I have a few questions to ask."

President Lu Xue said, "Please go ahead, City Lord Lin."

Lin Moyu asked, "How long does it take for your chamber of commerce to establish a branch?"

President Lu Xue replied, "That depends on how much land City Lord Lin gives us. Under normal circumstances, it would take about half a month to build the structures, and then Elder Lu would set up the arrays."

"Based on Elder Lu's usual speed for setting up arrays, it would take about half a year."

Lin Moyu pondered, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

In reality, he was discussing it with the Human Emperor in the Rule World.

After a discussion, he finally made a decision.

Opening Yudao City has both pros and cons, but overall, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

No matter how beautiful flowers in a greenhouse are, they cannot withstand the wind and snow; their vitality is never as strong as that of wildflowers.

No matter how many talents they cultivate within the sealed Yudao City, they will eventually have to be sent to the Origin Continent.

It would be better to let them enter the Origin Continent early to experience the elements.

If they are true talents, no storm can crush them.

The human race in the Great World was in such a difficult situation back then, surrounded by a hundred clans, yet talent still emerged in large numbers!

After pondering for a moment, Lin Moyu said, "In that case, I will have to trouble President Lu Xue and Elder Fengqing. As for the specific location of the chamber of commerce, President Lu Xue can discuss it with the Human Emperor."

Seeing Lin Moyu agree, a brilliant smile appeared on President Lu Xue's face. "Thank you, City Lord Lin…"

She had come with a mission this time; if Lin Moyu did not agree, her mission would be a failure. If Lin Moyu agreed, she would be solely responsible for this branch in the future, and her status within the family would be significantly elevated.

Therefore, whether Lin Moyu agreed or not was very important to her.

She had even thought that Lin Moyu would propose some harsh conditions, but in the end, Lin Moyu said nothing and agreed so easily.

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing frowned. "City Lord Lin, there are some things that perhaps this girl Xue didn't make clear to you. Our branch requires some special authority."

Lin Moyu replied, "It's fine. Let President Lu Xue discuss it with the Human Emperor. As long as it's not excessive, everything is negotiable."

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing said, "You, as the City Lord, don't manage anything?"

Lin Moyu said, "I naturally have my own things to do. Elder Lu, are you speaking to me on behalf of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce, or as an individual?"

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing raised an eyebrow. "Is there a difference?"

Lin Moyu said, "Business is business, and personal is personal. Previously, you represented the chamber of commerce, so we handled things officially, regardless of personal friendship."

"If you are representing yourself, then you are my senior, which is naturally different."

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing puffed at his beard. "You guys just have complicated minds and too many thoughts."

Lin Moyu smiled and did not respond.

He knew Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing was simple-minded, somewhat paranoid, and fanatical. Although not stupid, his intelligence was only used in cultivation and arrays; he was truly lacking in other aspects. It was precisely because of this that others called him Lu the Madman.

President Lu Xue had already gone to discuss with the Human Emperor; she was the protagonist this time.

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing came along just to set up the arrays; he had no other business, and all decision-making power lay with President Lu Xue.

It was just that Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing was an elder, so President Lu Xue respected him more.

Lin Moyu slowly stood up and walked out of the hall. "Senior Lu, let's talk about some private matters now. I heard that you are quite interested in my Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation group."

Lin Moyu changed the subject, shifting it to arrays.

When it came to arrays, Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing immediately perked up. "That's right, was this array group of yours really set up within a year?"

He looked incredulous, clearly not believing Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu did not explain. "Come, I will take you to see it. It just so happens that I also want to modify the array!"

Chapter 2905: The Third Person of the Current Age

After ascending to a Dao Venerable, Lin Moyu already had the idea of modifying the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation group.

During the years he spent lecturing Dao to Xiao Yue, Lin Moyu had also planned the corresponding arrays.

After careful calculation, he had a bold idea in his mind.

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing, filled with doubt, followed Lin Moyu as he flew away from Yudao City and arrived in front of the array group.

Lin Moyu waved his hand, and a rune flew out and landed in the array group.

The array group suddenly lit up, with majestic energy flowing through it. The entire array group was like a dome covering the entirety of Yudao City.

In Yudao City, everyone saw the array group, and many people let out exclamations of wonder.

However, many people in Yudao City did not find it strange; they had witnessed with their own eyes how Lin Moyu set up the arrays, witnessing the entire process of the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation from its inception to its final completion.

The Human Emperor's database also had corresponding records; as long as one had seen it, they would know of the existence of the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation.

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing looked at the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation group as if he were admiring a work of art, his eyes not blinking for a moment.

The Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation was nothing special; he could also set it up, and even if it were fused with runes, he could do the same.

The key was that Lin Moyu had turned the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation into an array group, with a full one thousand Heavenly Thunder Fire Formations fused together to form a whole.

This significantly increased the power of the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation, making it comparable to a 7th-tier array.

What Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing could not believe was that Lin Moyu had actually completed this feat in just one year. Just as Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing was greedily admiring the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation group, one of the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formations suddenly collapsed silently.

Then, the remaining Heavenly Thunder Fire Formations also collapsed one after another, and the array group withered rapidly like a flower.

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing turned his head sharply to look at Lin Moyu and shouted urgently, "What have you done?"

Lin Moyu knew Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing's personality and did not mind. "This array group is no longer suitable for the current Yudao City; I need to set up the arrays again."

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing was stunned. "What array are you going to set up?"

"You will know in a moment. If you want to see it, just follow me." Lin Moyu flew forward, and Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing followed immediately without a word.

Previously, the range of the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation exceeded ten thousand kilometers, and the area occupied by Yudao City was only a negligible part of the area covered by the array.

For the cultivators of Yudao City, this range was sufficient for use.

But that was before; now that Lin Moyu wanted to expand the scope of Yudao City, the best way was to expand the array.

The larger the area occupied by the array, the larger the territory and influence of Yudao City.

However, the larger the array range, the higher the requirements for setting up the array, and the difficulty increases exponentially.

Lin Moyu arrived at a place fifty thousand kilometers away from Yudao City. Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing, who was following behind, had his eyes widened. "Don't tell me you intend to set up the array here?"

"A fifty-thousand-kilometer radius, a one-hundred-thousand-kilometer diameter—how many arrays would you need to cover the city? You must be crazy."

Lin Moyu chuckled. "Just watch."

For such a large area, if he were still to use the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation, he would need at least tens of thousands of them.

Tens of thousands of Heavenly Thunder Fire Formations—just thinking about it was despairing. Furthermore, if even one of them failed, the entire array group could collapse.

If a skilled array master were to set up so many arrays, there would definitely be errors.

If different array masters were to work together, the arrays they set up would definitely have differences and could not be combined in the end.

Therefore, to set up an array group, only one person can do it; others cannot help.

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing estimated that with his ability, it would take three to five years to set up the previous Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation group.

If the range were to be expanded further, the time would increase exponentially, and he could only set up an array group within a radius of twenty thousand kilometers at most; any larger would be impossible.

But now, Lin Moyu was actually going to set up an array group within a fifty-thousand-kilometer radius; this was simply madness.

However, seeing Lin Moyu's confident appearance, Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing couldn't help but think to himself, "Could this kid's level of array mastery have already surpassed mine?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How long has he been learning arrays? I have been studying arrays for tens of thousands of years; how could he possibly surpass me?"

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing would never believe that Lin Moyu's array standard could surpass his own.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Moyu finally started to take action.

A vast and terrifying aura rose up. Lin Moyu had now become a Dao Venerable, far more powerful than before.

Bearing six Great Daos and twenty-five Dao Patterns, although he was only at the Dao Venerable 1st Realm, the pressure he exuded already made Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing feel shocked.

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing could not believe it; was this the pressure that a Dao Venerable 1st Realm should have?

Lin Moyu ignored Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing's thoughts; he had already started setting up the array.

The array he chose was still the Nine Heavens Violent Thunder Formation from Daoist Tianlei's array path inheritance!

The Nine Heavens Violent Thunder Formation belonged to the 7th-tier arrays and was a top-tier array among 7th-tier arrays.

It had two advantages: first, it was strong enough and possessed astonishing lethality; a single array was enough to kill a Dao Venerable 3rd Realm.

Second, the range of the Nine Heavens Violent Thunder Formation was large enough; if fully deployed, its coverage could reach more than ten times that of the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation.

That is to say, he could use a relatively small number of arrays to cover this huge area with a diameter of one hundred thousand kilometers. According to Lin Moyu's calculations, about 3,000 Nine Heavens Violent Thunder Formations would be enough to cover the area he had marked out. Moreover, Lin Moyu was not just simply setting up the Nine Heavens Violent Thunder Formation.

The Nine Heavens Violent Thunder Formation was a pure Artifact Array, and Lin Moyu directly used 7th-tier origin crystals to set it up, which was incredibly extravagant.

The advantage of using origin crystals was that they could be connected to the origin spirit vein, so there was no need to worry about the power running out.

As long as the origin spirit vein was still there, the power of the Nine Heavens Violent Thunder Formation would not be exhausted.

His left hand threw out origin crystals one by one, while his right hand began to draw the Rune Array.

The Rune Array was also the Nine Heavens Violent Thunder Formation; Lin Moyu forcibly converted the Nine Heavens Violent Thunder Formation into a Rune Array.

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing, who was on the side, had his eyes widened; he finally knew what Lin Moyu was going to do.

Lin Moyu wanted to fuse the Rune Array with the Artifact Array, not the kind of simple enhancement of the Artifact Array's power using runes, but a true fusion of the Rune Array and the Artifact Array.

This was something that even he, an array grandmaster, had not achieved. Moreover, as far as he knew, in the entire Origin Continent, there were only two people who could reach this step.

Lin Moyu was doing it right now; if he really succeeded, he would be the third person of the current age.

At least in the path of arrays, only two people could compare with him.

Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing's mouth twitched, and he could no longer speak.

His heart was incredibly complex. Once upon a time, he had even thought about taking Lin Moyu as a disciple to pass down his mantle.

Looking at it now, it seemed that he himself would not even be qualified to be his disciple.

Under his gaze, Lin Moyu finally finished setting up the Nine Heavens Violent Thunder Formation, and at the same time, the Rune Array was also completed.

The Artifact Array and the Rune Array touched each other and began to fuse.

Both arrays were set up by Lin Moyu, and both contained the same root and origin aura, so the fusion was incredibly smooth.

This also showed that both arrays were equally perfect, without any flaws.

How difficult it was to fuse arrays; as long as there was the slightest error in the two arrays, it would be impossible to complete the fusion.

Right now, the two 7th-tier arrays were perfectly fused, which was enough to prove how terrifying Lin Moyu's control over arrays was. But this was not the most important thing; what Lin Moyu did next made Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing shocked once again.

Chapter 2906: Array Spirit Xiao Jin Reappears, Nothing is Impossible!

"Xiao Jin, come out!"

In Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing's shocked gaze, the Array Spirit Xiao Jin flew out from Lin Moyu's body.

Xiao Jin's appearance had changed greatly, and it was completely different from before.

After Lin Moyu ascended to a Dao Venerable, he had the idea of re-setting up the array group for Yudao City and letting Xiao Jin manipulate the arrays.

During the time he was lecturing Dao, Lin Moyu had been preparing.

Ever since the war in the Great World ended, Xiao Jin seemed to have lost its purpose and had never appeared again.

In fact, Xiao Jin had always been there. It was initially arranged in the Soul World, and later, after the Great World and the Rule World merged, Xiao Jin was arranged in the peripheral area of the Great World.

There, Lin Moyu had always been using arrays to enhance Xiao Jin.
