After the decision was made, Nangong Longjian and the others set out that very day.
As for the Weapon Refining Immortal and the rest, they too began preparing the items needed to set up the grand formation.
Moreover, since Chu Feng had just merged with the Five Elements Secret Skills and would be the main force in laying out the formation, the Weapon Refining Immortal and the others didn't want him to overexert himself. So they took on all the preparations themselves.
Now, Chu Feng could finally take a moment's rest. He projected his consciousness into his Spirit World, looked upon Eggy who was still deep in slumber, and smiled with relief before turning to leave.
"It seems this time's harvest is destined to be no small thing." When Chu Feng pulled his consciousness back, the smile on his face only grew.
That tremendous force of impact had destroyed his entire domain. It was not Chu Feng who caused it — it was the Five Elements Secret Skills.
Although the fusion of the Five Elements Secret Skills had granted him new methods of using them, Chu Feng's cultivation had not advanced. That terrifying power had indeed been produced by the Five Elements Secret Skills themselves.
This also served as an indirect indication that the energy contained within the Five Elements Secret Skills was extraordinarily fearsome — Chu Feng simply hadn't fully mastered them yet.
But what was worth noting was that despite that power being so terrifying it had destroyed his entire domain, it had not harmed Eggy. On the contrary, it had actively merged Eggy into Chu Feng's body. This was truly wondrous and almost inconceivable.
After all, for Eggy to enter the Spirit World within Chu Feng's body, the Spirit World Gate needed to be opened. In principle, no one but Chu Feng should have been able to accomplish that — yet the energy transformed from the Five Elements Secret Skills had done it.
Moreover, it had done so even as it was destroying everything around it, sending Eggy into the Spirit World as though it were acting with a will of its own, protecting her.
It was all of these things that made Chu Feng realize that perhaps the Five Elements Secret Skills themselves were a massive treasure, one that contained unfathomable power.
However, if he were to gather all five tokens, he could indeed open yet another treasure. In other words, Chu Feng would obtain two treasures.
That was why he felt that this time's harvest was enormous.
Once the materials were ready, Chu Feng began working with the Weapon Refining Immortal and the others to set up the grand formation — the one capable of withstanding a peak Martial Emperor.
The formation was far too complex. Even with Chu Feng and several other Dragon-patterned Spirit World Masters working together to set it up, it would still require no small amount of time.
…………
Time flew by like a shuttle. In the blink of an eye, two months had passed.
At this moment, within a restricted area of the Heavenly Dao Palace, a startling scene was unfolding.
Inside this forbidden ground stood not only the Master of the Heavenly Dao Palace, but also the Master of the Human Empire Palace.
Yet at this moment, these two powerhouses who stood at the very pinnacle of the human race were kneeling on the ground in humble deference.
And before them stood three figures. On the left was the World Extinguishing Immortal. On the right was the mysterious woman. As for the one in the center — it was the Dark Hall Master, who shared the same bloodline as Chu Feng.
"Lord Hall Master, we are incompetent. We failed to take Azure Mountain and failed to kill Chu Feng. Please punish us, Lord Hall Master." The two Palace Masters seemed to have rehearsed this beforehand, speaking in unison.
"Had you conquered Azure Mountain, then my plan would have failed." From beneath the Dark Hall Master's mask came a burst of laughter.
Upon hearing this, both Palace Masters trembled, their expressions changing drastically as though they had suffered a severe blow. Yet in the end, they suppressed their emotions and asked in a servile tone: "Lord Hall Master, this humble servant does not understand your meaning."
"It is fine not to understand, but do not ask further," said the Dark Hall Master.
"But..." At this moment, the expressions of both Palace Masters grew increasingly grim. After all, their attack on Azure Mountain this time had cost them dearly.
"Rest assured — what you lost at Azure Mountain, I will reward you tenfold in the future," said the Dark Hall Master.
