"This disciple of yours — with such extraordinary talent, she can certainly enter."
"It's just unclear whether she's willing. After all, it is quite dangerous."
"So why not ask her what she thinks?"
As Yao Cheng spoke, she turned her gaze to Wang Yuxian.
"She'll be willing. My disciple will certainly be willing."
But before Wang Yuxian could answer, Dao Sea Fairy gave a definitive response.
"Master, what does this elder mean?"
Wang Yuxian asked curiously as well.
"Lele, the Nine Souls Heavenly River is about to face a great calamity, and you have the opportunity to prevent it."
Dao Sea Fairy looked at Wang Yuxian with eyes full of hope and expectation.
After that, Dao Sea Fairy went on to explain the situation to Wang Yuxian.
"Who would have thought something like this had happened."
"Elder, Master — I am willing to travel with Chu Feng."
After learning what had transpired, Wang Yuxian showed not the slightest hesitation and chose to accompany Chu Feng.
After speaking those words, she glanced at Chu Feng, her eyes brimming with a smile.
It was as though she, too, was looking forward to fighting alongside Chu Feng.
"If that's the case, then let's set off."
Once Yao Cheng finished speaking, she immediately took to the air.
Before long, they arrived once more at the place where Yao Cheng had brought them to stay previously.
Yao Cheng produced a barrier key.
"This key?"
Upon seeing the key, Chu Feng's expression shifted subtly.
"Chu Feng, what is it?"
Yu Sha noticed the change in Chu Feng and couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing."
Chu Feng shook his head.
In truth, he felt that the barrier key carried a sense of familiarity, though he couldn't quite pinpoint where that sense of déjà vu came from.
But what Chu Feng could confirm was that the barrier key did not belong to the Spirit Demon Clan — there was not a trace of the Spirit Demon Clan's aura on it whatsoever.
Although it lacked the Spirit Demon Clan's aura, when Yao Cheng formed a hand seal, her own aura was able to merge into the barrier key.
The key was under her control.
Hummm—
The barrier key released a radiant glow, and wherever the light fell, objects began to materialize out of what had previously been empty void.
Before long, a colossal barrier gate a thousand meters tall materialized out of thin air.
Upon seeing this barrier gate, both Dao Sea Fairy and Granny Yuan Shen furrowed their brows.
The gate was indeed extraordinary. They could sense just how solid it was — at the very least, they were utterly incapable of passing through it.
If it were merely solid, that would have been one thing, but the gate also possessed a defensive mechanism. Simply put, anyone outside the Spirit Demon Clan who dared attempt to force their way through would not only be blocked, but would also face grave danger.
"My lord, can they really pass through?"
Dao Sea Fairy looked toward Yao Cheng.
For the first time, worry flickered in her eyes.
She had already assessed the situation — the barrier gate was a blanket defense. It wasn't as though the younger generation could simply slip through.
It was at this moment that Yao Cheng soared into the air, rising to the upper edge of the gate.
"This barrier gate was originally impassable to anyone outside the Spirit Demon Clan — neither the young nor the old could enter."
"However, as time has passed, this area has become quite weak. Through here, the younger generation can slip in."
Yao Cheng pointed to a small section of the gate as she spoke.
Hearing her words, Chu Feng and the others all took to the air for a closer look.
Only then did they discover that Yao Cheng's words were true.
Upon careful inspection, they too could see that this was indeed a weak point — the elder generation could not break through, but the younger generation could.
However, because this was a flaw in the barrier gate, simply entering it did not mean one could pass through.
Once inside, one would presumably enter a barrier formation or a special barrier passage — and within that, there would certainly be immense danger.
"You are all Spirit World Masters, so you should understand the risks involved."
"I won't keep it from you — I don't know what awaits inside either. So whether or not you wish to try, that decision is up to you."
Yao Cheng looked once more at Chu Feng and Wang Yuxian.
"My lord, is there no other way to get inside?"
"This is, after all, the territory of your Spirit Demon Clan. If you were willing, outsiders could enter, couldn't they?"
