Upon seeing the Fox Immortal Lady, everyone's hearts tightened. More or less, a trace of wariness surfaced in their eyes.
The Fox Immortal Lady was famous — her fearsome reputation preceded her. Though none of them had personally experienced her wrath, they had heard plenty of stories from their elders.
So upon laying eyes on the Fox Immortal Lady, everyone became solemn and respectful. Even people of notable backgrounds like
After all, she was a true demoness — one who feared nothing and no one, and who gave no consideration to anyone's face.
Even the various major powers didn't want to offend her, let alone these juniors.
"Good relationships are good and all, but I must remind you — each of these twelve entrances can only allow one person through. So among all of you, only twelve will be able to enter the grand formation," the Fox Immortal Lady said.
"Only twelve can really get in?"
At those words, the expressions of the juniors present shifted more or less.
They had all heard something about this grand formation, but hadn't been certain of the details. Now that they'd heard the answer from the Fox Immortal Lady's own lips, a sense of panic set in.
Including the eight members of the Ten Stars of Ancestral Martial who were present, there were ninety-eight of them in total. Ninety-eight people competing for just twelve spots — that was rather cruel.
"Entering the grand formation naturally comes with great benefits, but those who fail to enter will not walk away empty-handed."
"We've prepared a great gift for you, but that gift can only be obtained if the eliminated participants work together."
"As for what that gift is — you'll find out when the time comes."
As the Fox Immortal Lady spoke, she waved her massive sleeve, and the ground began to tremble violently. As the earth shook, a palace slowly rose up from deep beneath the surface.
Upon seeing that palace,
At a single glance, Chu Feng could tell that the palace was actually a formation — and that this formation was connected to the grand formation before them.
Having seen this grand formation, Chu Feng became even more certain that the reason the Fox Immortal Lady and the other three had gathered here and organized this trial, letting these juniors participate, was to harness the power of these young people to obtain what they wanted.
Of course, whatever that thing was, it wouldn't be easy to obtain — otherwise the four of them wouldn't have gone through all this trouble.
"However, I must also remind you — if you manage to enter the grand formation, the benefits are naturally even greater. Inside… we've prepared rewards especially for you. Of course, how much you receive will depend on your own strength."
"But if your strength is sufficient, you may very well obtain the treasures left behind by the Realm Spirit Immortal King," the Fox Immortal Lady said.
"The treasures left by the Realm Spirit Immortal King?" At those words, the eyes of all the juniors present lit up with a different kind of glow.
"Through many years of exploration, we've learned that hidden within this grand formation are five Boundary Swords."
"Each Boundary Sword contains immense boundary power, and that would be of tremendous help to all of you," the Fox Immortal Lady said.
After hearing the Fox Immortal Lady's words, everyone grew excited.
But Chu Feng shook his head. Having seen the stone walls inside the Fire Prison, he knew that the Boundary Swords did indeed exist — however, they were extremely difficult to find and even harder to tame.
If a Boundary Sword didn't recognize its master, it couldn't be controlled at all. On the contrary… it would be dangerous.
And even if a Boundary Sword did recognize its master, harnessing its power was still no easy feat.
It required fusion with another force.
