In the core area of the Phoenix Array, dozens of cultivators stood at the center, curiously gazing around.
Among them, a few faces were particularly shocked, for their cultivation had already touched the edge of the Mystic Sect—the finest cultivators of this era.
Three days ago, a special invitation was delivered to their hands.
Upon receiving the invitation, some were in seclusion cultivation, some were in an inescapable predicament, while others were caught in a life-threatening crisis.
In any case, their situations at that time made it impossible for anyone to appear silently in front of them and deliver a letter to their hands.
Yet, this letter appeared, and even when they received it, they did not sense any presence at all.
The method of message delivery was extremely unique, as if it were not done through physical means but through some unspeakable divine technique.
When they opened the letter, there were no words inside, only a spiritual coordinate within the mental world.
A single letter brought them various feelings of astonishment.
After confirming the content of the letter, those in seclusion chose to exit, the injured mysteriously healed, and those trapped in dilemmas suddenly found a way out.
Three days later, they arrived simultaneously outside the array at the Phoenix's Mouth, and without learning the origins of each other, they were drawn into the array at the Phoenix's Mouth, arriving at this land of spiritual energy among the mountains.
At this time, it had been five months since Lin Beichen left the Phoenix Array, and once again, earth-shattering changes occurred within the array.
The original array core had extended from the mountains to cover the entire Huadu, radiating outward with Huadu as the center.
But because Huadu is the world of ordinary people, the Phoenix Array actively avoided this area, so ordinary people did not notice anything unusual.
However, as soon as a cultivator left Huadu for the surrounding mountains, they discovered that the heavens and earth there had been dramatically transformed.
The vegetation grew more lush, the trees exuded more spiritual energy, and even when observing the stars at night, it was brighter and easier to observe.
In just two months, many cultivators gathered in the land of Huadu.
No one guessed these changes; the cultivators present were top talents from various regions, and although they had heard of the strange transformations in Huadu, they hadn't come to Huadu because of their reasons and were temporarily unaware of the changes here.
However, upon arriving here, they realized all these legends originated from the array before them.
Words could not describe their hearts' shock; one person stared blankly at the towering pillar in the array's core.
This towering pillar exceeded a thousand meters, crafted from a single piece of pristine white jade.
Such a massive piece of jade could not possibly be naturally formed, but when observed through the method of spiritual energy, no cracks or seams were visible.
The towering stone pillar before them seemed like a treasure of the earth's core, buried underground for unknown billions of years, yet forcibly unearthed and erected between heaven and earth.
From the thousand-meter pillar extended countless indescribable structures, the exterior of which had peeled off, but the murals on the stone walls were preserved.
Murals carved with arrays floated between heaven and earth like celestial phenomena.
Those present were the strongest of this era, possessing an inner pride, yet even if they were ten or a hundred times stronger, standing here, gazing up at the heavens, they felt as insignificant as ants.
They stared blankly around, watching the heavenly changes, without any alteration in expression, masking their doubts.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know who owns this array? Why have we not seen this place's owner after being here for so long? Could it possibly be an array that formed naturally?"
One person spoke, wearing a mentor's uniform, clearly a teacher in a research lab.
No sooner had he spoken than a hint of a sneer appeared, and an elder stepped out, also with a head full of white hair, dressed as a professor, yet exuding the aura of a businessman.
"A Heaven and Earth Array of this scale—how could it possibly form naturally? Not to mention the rest; these wall paintings are full of personal flair!
You tell me, if it were truly an act of heaven and earth, how could there be such distinct personal art styles?"
Lin Beichen wasn't skilled in murals, but when engraving them, he adhered to the natural governance of heaven and earth, following the inherent circuits of Heaven and Earth's Spiritual Qi for his creations.
Upon completion, the natural style formed was actually his personal insight into the cosmos.
Thus, this section of murals was full of his personal color regarding heaven and earth.
The Phoenix Array was constructed for himself by Lin Beichen, though temporarily changed into a Heaven and Earth Array—while the transformation was successful, it added considerable personal flair, stimulating imagination, and adding a touch of mystery.
The two argued but couldn't convince each other. A robust man, uninterested in their discussion, went to the array nearby and opened a stone door.
After pushing open the stone door, he stared wide-eyed in disbelief, only to find a series of divine weapons inside.
These divine weapons were tools Lin Beichen used when engraving the Heaven and Earth Array, imbued with the breath of heaven and earth after their carvings.
