It was an independent space. The four of them, upon entering, found themselves suspended above a vast sea of stars, surrounded on all sides by a boundless ocean of celestial bodies.
However, what glimmered with light were not worlds formed of stars, but rather lines of text and symbols. Whether text or symbols, they all dated back to ancient times — none of them were recognizable to Chu Feng and the others.
But there was no denying that some manner of profound truth lay within them. It seemed to encompass not merely the Martial Path.
Not only
So the moment they set foot in this place, Wuma Shengjie and Gong Qing were both captivated by everything around them.
Chu Feng, however, was concerned about something else: "Miss Tantai, is Lord Nameless Meteorfall currently residing in your manor?"
"That's my fault — I forgot to mention it to Young Master Chu."
"Lord Nameless Meteorfall is indeed a guest in my manor. In fact, Lord Nameless Meteorfall said that if you were to attend this junior gathering, I should pass along a message: your friend is unharmed,"
Hearing those words, the worry in Chu Feng's eyes visibly eased. Tantai Xing'er then continued:
"Young Master Chu, Young Master Wuma, Little Sister Gong Qing — allow me to introduce our clan's Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm to you. Perhaps it will prove beneficial."
Afterward, Tantai Xing'er began to explain the history of the Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm to Chu Feng and the others.
The Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm dated back to ancient times. To be more precise, the Mountain's Peach Blossom Spring dated back to ancient times.
In truth, the Mountain's Peach Blossom Spring and the Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm were originally one and the same.
The name "Mountain's Peach Blossom Spring" was given by people who lived after the ancient era, but the name "Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm" had been passed down from ancient times.
The person who gave it this name was called the Immortal of Peach Blossom Valley, and the Immortal of Peach Blossom Valley was also the creator of the Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm.
Therefore, the Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm could be considered as a relic left behind by the Immoral of Peach Blossom Valley for future generations. So long as one possessed sufficient comprehension, one could pass through the mountain and enter the secret realm, gaining sudden enlightenment into the heavenly mysteries.
Up to the present day, the
However, how much one could gain in terms of enlightenment still depended on each individual's aptitude.
"I knew the Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm was a sacred cultivation ground, but I had no idea it dated back to ancient times — much less that the person who created it was called the Immortal of Peach Blossom Valley," Gong Qing said.
"Now that I know all of this, it really does feel different. Thank you so much, Miss Xing'er."
"By the way, Miss Xing'er — you said the words 'Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm' are inscribed here, but why can't I see them?" Gong Qing asked.
"The words 'Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm' are indeed inscribed here, but only those with sufficient comprehension can see them. Little Sister Gong Qing, you should look carefully, earnestly, and with your whole heart. If you are able to see the four characters 'Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm,' then you will already be able to gain enlightenment into the Martial Path from this place and advance your cultivation," Tantai Xing'er said.
"So that's how it is. Then I'd better try right away!"
As Gong Qing spoke, she hastily employed a special method of observation, carefully studying her surroundings.
Wuma Shengjie, in fact, had already begun his contemplation even before Gong Qing.
Chu Feng alone continued to examine his surroundings with a normal gaze, looking for all the world like he couldn't be less interested — the very picture of nonchalance.
"Young Master Chu, there is a time limit for staying in this place. In half a shichen, we will be transported out," Tantai Xing'er said to Chu Feng. In truth, she was trying to remind him that if he wished to gain enlightenment, he ought to hurry.
"Thank you for the reminder, Miss," Chu Feng said, flashing Tantai Xing'er a grateful smile. Having said that, he resumed his observation.
Only, Chu Feng's gaze remained perfectly ordinary. His appearance still painted the same picture — utter nonchalance.
This left Tantai Xing'er thoroughly puzzled. She had reminded him plainly enough, yet Chu Feng was still being this careless. She simply couldn't fathom it. She had considered saying something more, but in the end, she held her tongue.
What Tantai Xing'er did not know, however, was that Chu Feng had in fact been observing this place from the very beginning. Moreover, the method he was using was his most powerful means of perception — the Heavenly Eye.
The Heavenly Eye was a technique passed down to him by the Queen. In terms of observation, the Heavenly Eye's power was formidable beyond measure.
Now, with Chu Feng's strength having grown, when he activated the Heavenly Eye to observe something, he no longer displayed any outward signs. Even if he was using the Heavenly Eye, those around him would be completely unaware.
