Chu Feng discovered that a pattern had appeared on the massive black gate.
It was clearly not in its complete form.
But even incomplete, Chu Feng could tell that this pattern contained profound mysteries. He could even sense that power was hidden within it.
"Chu Feng, can you make out what it is?"
Yusha asked.
"When did it appear?"
Chu Feng asked.
"I wasn't paying attention either, but it definitely wasn't there before your battle with the Lord of the Dark Night. It probably appeared after you summoned those world spirits back to the World Spirit Space," Yusha said.
"I don't know what it represents either."
At that moment, the Asura King and the others seemed to sense that Chu Feng had entered the World Spirit Space and immediately came to the gate.
But just like Yusha, they could only move within their own section of space. They could not cross the black gate to enter the space where Yusha and Egg Egg were.
"Lord Chu Feng, what happened?"
Seeing Chu Feng's expression, the Asura King realized something must have occurred.
"Senior Kuiting, do you know what this pattern on the gate represents?" Chu Feng asked the Asura King.
"Pattern? What pattern?"
The Asura King was puzzled.
Seeing this, Chu Feng crossed to the other side of the gate and realized that the pattern had only appeared on the side with himself and Yusha. On the Asura King's side, no pattern had manifested at all.
But this didn't stump Chu Feng. He raised his hand, and as the power of barriers surged forth, he used his hand like a brush. In the blink of an eye, he sketched a miniature version of the gate.
And on it was the same pattern that had appeared on the massive black gate.
But after seeing this pattern, the Asura King and the numerous Asura realm spirits shook their heads repeatedly. None of them knew what it represented either.
This was to be expected, after all. This had been specifically arranged by the Slaughter Heavenly King. It would have been strange if they understood it.
After observing it for a while longer and confirming he truly couldn't decipher the pattern, Chu Feng had no choice but to give up.
After a brief reunion, Chu Feng had to bid farewell to everyone.
He instructed Holy Light White Brow and the others to wait for him in the Great Thousand Upper Realm.
As for himself, he decided to return to the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm.
He needed to go back to the Chu Heavenly Clan's forbidden ground in the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm.
After all, his father had told him that within that forbidden ground, there existed a power capable of awakening his bloodline.
But his father had also said that at the time, he had not yet reached the point of awakening — when the time came, he would naturally be able to comprehend it.
Chu Feng had indeed been very weak back then, but the current Chu Feng believed he had improved tremendously since then. After all, he could now be considered a peak Martial Emperor, not far from the half-god realm at all.
So he wanted to see whether he could awaken his Heaven-level bloodline. After all, the current Chu Feng was desperate to become stronger.
Thus, Chu Feng used the Chu Heavenly Clan's formation to travel directly to the Heavenly Road connecting the Eastern Sea of the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm to the Martial Sacred Land.
Returning to this Heavenly Road, Chu Feng was overcome with emotions.
Back when he had first set foot on the Heavenly Road, the Martial Sacred Land had been an incredibly mysterious and alluring place to him.
But now, the entire Ancestral Martial Lower Realm was a place he could traverse at will. Never mind any barriers or formations — as long as he wished, he could reach any destination in a very short time.
This was Chu Feng's current strength. His speed was far faster than the formations here.
But that was only within the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm. In the vast world of martial cultivation as a whole, Chu Feng was still very weak. That was precisely why he had come back here.
He wanted to grow stronger, and the secret to doing so was hidden within that forbidden ground.
Chu Feng arrived outside the forbidden ground and found that the protective barrier his father had left behind was still intact.
Even though Chu Feng had grown so much stronger since then, the feeling this protective barrier gave him had not changed at all.
It was still just as powerful, just as impregnable.
Fortunately, this barrier was designed to keep outsiders at bay. As long as Chu Feng simply walked forward normally, the barrier was as if it didn't exist, and he passed right through it.
Upon entering the forbidden ground, Chu Feng couldn't help but recall the first time he had met the old ape, and the first time he had met his father.
That had been his first real conversation with his father, and it was precisely because it had been so brief that it left Chu Feng yearning and reminiscing.
But Chu Feng did not linger in those feelings of longing for his father. Instead, he sat down cross-legged on the spot.
Since he knew for certain that this forbidden ground contained a power capable of awakening his bloodline, then what Chu Feng needed to do now was find that power.
"This feeling?"
Chu Feng focused his senses, and sure enough, he faintly sensed a force hidden somewhere within the forbidden ground.
But when Chu Feng tried to approach that force, to feel it more closely, his mind fell into a panic. His Dantian reacted violently, and it felt as though his entire body was about to be torn to shreds.
It was an exceedingly dangerous sensation.
If he continued, he would die.
So Chu Feng quickly stopped. But he didn't give up right away — he tried once more.
