Not long after, the massive pillar of light began to dissipate.
In its place appeared six thinner pillars of light.
And each pillar radiated a distinct aura.
"That aura is very similar to the Spirit World."
"Could it be connected to the Spirit World?"
Though Chu Feng was far from the entrance, he had already sensed the aura.
"Of course it's connected to the Spirit World," Tao Wu said.
"The auras of the Monster Spirit World, the Demon Spirit World, the Immortal Spirit World, the Buddha Spirit World, the Ghost Spirit World, and the Beast Spirit World are all here."
"But the Asura Spirit World is the only one missing."
"Does that mean something?" Chu Feng pondered.
"Stop thinking. I'll take you over there, and you'll understand everything." With that, Tao Wu rose into the air and brought Chu Feng and Old Cat hurtling toward the entrance.
"Senior, the entrance has just opened. Those big shots must have entered already. Won't it be dangerous for us to go now?"
Seeing Tao Wu set off immediately, Chu Feng felt somewhat worried.
Chu Feng was not someone who shied away from danger — otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to come in the first place.
But neither was he reckless. He always exercised caution when he acted, and that was the key to how he had made it this far fighting alone.
"There's no need to worry about that. As long as we don't clash with them head-on, they shouldn't give us any trouble," Tao Wu said.
"Will they really leave us alone?" Chu Feng was still uneasy. After all, whether it was the vast barrier that had sealed off heaven and earth, or the Demon Spirit King striking out and killing people later — it all proved those big shots had selfish intentions.
They didn't want anyone else coming in. Not even those with weaker cultivation. They didn't want to give anyone else even the slightest chance.
"Brother Chu Feng, you really don't need to worry."
"As long as we stay away from whatever those big shots have their eyes on, we'll be fine."
"You didn't enter that cave that everyone could access, but inside it there were numerous hints — both obvious and subtle — all pointing to the fact that when the true entrance appeared, everyone would be allowed to enter."
"If anyone tried to deliberately block people, they might face retribution."
"Nobody knows exactly what that retribution would be, but in that earlier cave, those big shots surely witnessed just how formidable the one who set up these formations truly is."
"I think as long as we don't touch their interests, they wouldn't dare take that risk easily," Old Cat explained.
Now Chu Feng finally understood why Tao Wu dared to act this way, and why the normally cautious Old Cat showed no fear.
It was because the person who had set up these formations had left behind those hints.
No wonder the appearance of the pillars of light had shattered the barrier — that was all part of the formation master's plan from the very beginning.
Clearly, others knew this too, because along the way they had seen many people rushing toward the entrance at full speed.
However, none of the people they encountered were as strong as Tao Wu, and Tao Wu overtook them all one by one.
Before long, they arrived before the entrance.
The entrance was truly enormous. Standing at its edge and looking out, they couldn't even see where it ended.
The six beams of light stretched downward into seemingly bottomless depths.
Tao Wu barely paused before diving straight down, quickly reaching the source of the six beams of light.
There were six great gates, all standing open, and above each gate hung a plaque.
The plaques bore the inscriptions: Monster, Demon, Immortal, Buddha, Ghost, Beast.
And conspicuously absent was Asura.
"Hey, Brother Tao, why are you still going down?"
"Those six gates clearly contain something good inside!" Old Cat suddenly shouted at Tao Wu.
Because Tao Wu hadn't stopped — he kept descending further.
And soon, they reached the very bottom of the entrance.
There stood a single gate — an enormous gate. Standing before it, the three of them looked no different from specks of dust.
However, this gate was sealed shut, blocking any further descent.
"Go back up already! You clearly can't enter here. The idea is to go into those six gates first to claim the rewards," Old Cat urged once more. He was genuinely afraid of losing the opportunity.
"What's the rush?" Tao Wu remained where he was, continuing to observe the area.
After a good while, he suddenly broke into a smile.
"Did you notice anything?" Tao Wu asked.
"Notice what?" Chu Feng and Old Cat asked in unison.
"There was someone incredibly powerful here just now."
"Should be at the peak of Half-God realm."
