"Senior Brother, look quickly, there really is a cave mansion there!"
In the Magma World, Shui Lanxuan pointed to a rock wall, by which there was a platform and deep within the platform, a cave mansion.
And evidently, a powerful prohibition around the rock wall kept the magma at bay, requiring the breaking of the prohibition to enter.
Lin Feng landed on the platform.
"So many years have gone by, yet the power of the prohibition hasn’t weakened; this Flame Demon Monarch must be no ordinary character."
Lin Feng sensed the prohibition outside; it was just the most common "Protecting Mansion Array" guarding this cave mansion, but it hadn’t suffered any damage. Time seemed to have had no effect on this array, which was truly unthinkable, considering time could destroy everything.
Even divine weapons... would slowly degrade over the ages.
"Senior Brother, with the array guarding it, we can’t get in either. My Spirit Array Master level is simply not enough to break the array here," Shui Lanxuan said, frowning.
"No matter, I’ll try to see if I can decipher this array," Lin Feng said.
"What? Senior Brother, you’re going to break the array yourself? Are you also a Spirit Array Master?" Shui Lanxuan exclaimed in surprise.
Shui Lanxuan knew very well how formidable Lin Feng’s combat power was; someone with such might, already shocking enough as an alchemist.
Now Lin Feng was about to decipher the prohibition here, which was obviously quite sophisticated. Although it was only meant to protect the cave mansion, Shui Lanxuan felt it could possibly be a Dark Stage High Stage or even Earth Rank prohibition.
Could Lin Feng really decipher such prohibitions? If he really could, it would be too defying of the heavens.
Thinking how she would often take pride in being a high-level Yellow Rank Spirit Array Master, was her low-key Senior Brother Lin Feng already a Dark Stage High Stage or even an Earth Rank Spirit Array Master?
Compared to Senior Brother Lin Feng, her own Spirit Array Master level was hardly worth mentioning.
"It seems I should put away my pride from now on and diligently cultivate my Spirit Array Skill. Just who exactly is Senior Brother Lin Feng?" Shui Lanxuan pondered, growing increasingly curious about him.
While Shui Lanxuan’s thoughts were running wild, Lin Feng had already started trying to break the Guardian Array here.
Lin Feng’s Soul Power had reached the "First Layer Heaven of the Creation Realm."
The elevation of the Spirit Array Realm was directly related to the power of "Soul Power," just like the advancement of an alchemist’s realm.
Thus, Lin Feng’s achievement in the Spirit Array Skill would also greatly improve.
Lin Feng felt the Guardian Array here and estimated it was somewhere between a Dark Stage Guardian Array and an Earth Rank Guardian Array.
"It seems that this array must have been of Earth Stage before, but now it has somewhat degenerated, not completely unaffected by decay," mused Lin Feng, stroking his chin.
Lin Feng had learned the "Array Breaking Array" from the Banshan Taoist lineage through Wuliang Taoist.
That was the method of using one array to break another array.
Lin Feng studied the Guardian Array here for over an hour.
What comforted Lin Feng was that this Guardian Array wasn’t coupled with an Attack Array; if an Attack Array had been in place, he would have had no choice but to leave.
Because had there been an Attack Array, it would have attacked Lin Feng, giving him no opportunity to study the Guardian Array here.
After more than an hour of study, Lin Feng finally began to see some clues.
He took out the Rune Blade and talisman stones, and began inscribing the Spirit Array.
It took three hours to carve out forty-nine talisman stones.
Only then did Lin Feng reveal an expression of immense relief.
"I hope this can break through the great Array here."
Lin Feng took a deep breath.
Although the Guardian Array here had fallen from the Earth-rank Guardian Array to the "peak of Dark Stage and Earth Rank,"
it was still an extremely sophisticated Guardian Array.
Lin Feng’s Soul Power was now sufficient to support him becoming an Earth-rank Spirit Array Master.
But Lin Feng was not an Earth-rank Spirit Array Master.
First, Lin Feng had not cultivated the Earth Stage Basic Array, nor the Earth Stage Spiritual Array Skill.
Secondly, Lin Feng’s Soul Realm had only recently made a breakthrough into the Creation Realm.
Furthermore, he had no time to study Spirit Arrays during his time in the Thunder Blade Secret Realm.
Although in theory, he could achieve the level of an Earth-rank Spirit Array Master, in reality, Lin Feng’s mastery of Spirit Arrays should still be at the level of Middle-level Dark Stage.
Therefore, breaking the Array was extremely difficult, especially when one’s level was insufficient—attempting to do so was as difficult as reaching the heavens. This time, by using the Array Breaking Method of the Banshan Taoist lineage, Lin Feng was merely giving it a try. If unable to break the Array, he would have no choice but to leave.
Lin Feng activated all the talisman stones, which interwove into series of Array Patterns, connecting together to form the great Array. Solving this entire Guardian Array was almost an impossible feat, which is why Lin Feng chose to break a corner, much like the time when he joined forces with Wuliang Taoist to break the seal of the ancestral lands of the Qingyang Sect—it was sufficient to break just a corner.
To Lin Feng’s surprise, this Array Breaking Method turned out to be miraculous; the interlacing Array Patterns were dissolving the Guardian Array. After more than half an hour had passed, the Guardian Array was torn open, revealing a gap.
Shui Lanxuan’s beautiful eyes widened with disbelief. It was a true success; it was almost unthinkable.
That was a Spirit Array at the peak of Dark Stage, bordering Earth Rank, and Lin Feng had actually solved it. What level of a Spirit Array Master was Lin Feng?
Had he really reached the High Stage of Dark Stage or even Earth Rank?
"Kid, nice move! To actually be able to solve the Array here! You certainly spared us a lot of trouble."
Just then, a sneering voice was heard.
The magma split open, and three cultivators appeared within the protection of the Five Elements Umbrella.
"Three Tenth Level of Martial King Realm powerhouses."
Seeing these three, Shui Lanxuan’s pretty face turned pale.
Lin Feng was very powerful, but each of these three men was likely no less in Cultivation than Lin Feng, and they were all experts.
Shui Lanxuan looked at these people with terror in her eyes, and her hands, which were clasped around Lin Feng’s neck, involuntarily tightened.
"Kid, leave the girl behind, and then you can scram. If you scram now, you can save your life. But if you don’t know what’s good for you, then this Magma World will be your grave."
The cultivator in his thirties spoke with a sinister tone.
"Senior brother." Shui Lanxuan’s delicate body trembled, fearing that Lin Feng would really leave her behind. If so, she would inevitably fall victim to their cruelty.
"Don’t worry, you go into the Cave Mansion first," Lin Feng said.
Shui Lanxuan nodded and entered the Cave Mansion through the gap in the seal.
"They really don’t know whether to live or die." A chilling intent to kill instantly flashed in the eyes of the three cultivators.
