The four of them traveled together and arrived at the Totem Milky Way—the most extraordinary of the Totem Star Domains.
The reason it was considered extraordinary was that it was not only the largest star domain in the Totem Milky Way but also the one where the Totem Dragon Clan resided.
Although the Totem Star Domain was teeming with cultivators, none dared to establish a sect within it.
Every cultivator here, regardless of their cultivation level, lived like an ordinary citizen. Each world had only one true ruler: the Totem Dragon Clan.
Right now, the busiest place in the Totem Star Domain was the Void Common Realm, for this was where the Strongest Trial would be held.
Chu Feng and the others had already arrived in this Void Common Realm.
"Brother Chu Feng, what do you think of the Void Common Realm?" Cheng Tianchan asked.
"Not bad." Chu Feng took a casual look around. There was nothing particularly special about the Void Common Realm—at least nothing in the scenery before him caught his attention.
"Brother Chu Feng, the Void Common Realm may just be a common realm, but it belongs to the Totem Star Domain. Its level of prosperity is far beyond what even the strongest upper realm of your Holy Light Milky Way could hope to match."
"You've come a long way, so feel free to look around. As for my senior brother, junior sister, and me—we've already arranged to meet some friends here in the Void Common Realm." Cheng Tianchan added.
"Oh, looks like this guy's trying to ditch you," Egg said with a laugh.
Chu Feng wasn't foolish—he had clearly caught the meaning behind Cheng Tianchan's words. In truth, Cheng Tianchan had been unhappy with Chu Feng for a while now, and throughout the journey, that dissatisfaction had only grown.
His jealousy of Chu Feng might as well have been pumping through his veins.
"Chu Feng, wherever you go, I'll go with you," Long Xiaoxiao said.
The moment those words left her mouth, Cheng Tianchan's expression shifted dramatically.
He wanted to send Chu Feng away, not Long Xiaoxiao.
"Junior Sister, the people we're meeting are all disciples of our Master's friends. You should really go and make their acquaintance."
"Especially Mo Yuhan. Her grandfather and our Master have been friends for thousands of years. Master specifically said he wants you to meet Junior Sister Mo."
Seeing the situation going south, Cheng Tianchan immediately brought up their Master as leverage.
But it wasn't an empty invocation—their Master had indeed given them such instructions.
"Senior Brother, I'm really not fond of this kind of socializing. I'd rather go look around," Long Xiaoxiao said.
"Junior Sister, not only does Mo Yuhan have deep ties with our Master through her grandfather, but she herself is an extraordinary prodigy."
"She's of the younger generation, just like you, yet her cultivation has already reached the eighth level of Martial Veneration. And among the younger generation, she's on the younger side, with heaven-defying talent."
"In the future, she will surely carve out a place for herself in the Totem Milky Way."
"That is precisely why Master hopes you two can become friends," Cheng Tianchan said.
At that moment, Zhao Yunmo also spoke up: "Junior Sister, Mo Yuhan rarely attends gatherings like this. The fact that she's willing to come this time makes it a rare opportunity—you really shouldn't miss it."
The two tried their utmost to persuade her, terrified that Long Xiaoxiao might leave with Chu Feng. Yet even after saying all of this, Long Xiaoxiao showed not the slightest hint of wavering.
This put both Cheng Tianchan and Zhao Yunmo on edge. Cheng Tianchan especially wanted to slap himself across the face.
Why did he have to try and send Chu Feng away? If Long Xiaoxiao left as well, he'd be in serious trouble.
Only now did he realize he had severely underestimated how much Chu Feng meant to Long Xiaoxiao.
Just then, it was Chu Feng who spoke: "Since I have nothing else to do anyway, why don't I just tag along?"
"Chu Feng, do you really want to go?" Long Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Feng.
Her gaze was incredibly gentle—carrying the unmistakable feeling that no matter what Chu Feng decided, she would stand by his side.
Despite her harmless exterior and seemingly innocent demeanor, Long Xiaoxiao was no stranger to the world. She could clearly see that Cheng Tianchan and Zhao Yunmo didn't much care for Chu Feng.
Cheng Tianchan's earlier words had been a deliberate attempt to send Chu Feng away.
That was exactly why Long Xiaoxiao had been so resolute about leaving with him.
"I'd like to broaden my horizons as well. Let's go take a look," Chu Feng said, then turned to Cheng Tianchan and Zhao Yunmo. "I'll come with you two—you won't mind, will you?"
"Of course not! If Brother Chu Feng joins us, that's even better."
Chu Feng and the others soared through the air and continued on their way.
Their destination was the summit of a mountain peak—the spot where Cheng Tianchan and the others had arranged to meet their many friends.
But suddenly, ahead of the vast sea of clouds, a golden light appeared.
Upon closer inspection, countless golden warhorses could be seen pulling golden war chariots, charging toward Chu Feng and the others in a grand procession.
Seated atop each chariot were figures wearing dragon horns, and banners emblazoned with the words "Totem Dragon Clan" fluttered in the wind.
"Hold your position immediately! When you encounter the Totem Dragon Clan within the Totem Milky Way, you must stop and pay your respects." Cheng Tianchan's message was delivered via secret transmission.
But he deliberately excluded Chu Feng.
However, Long Xiaoxiao was far too clever. Worried that Cheng Tianchan might try something, she immediately relayed the transmission to Chu Feng the moment she received it.
But the Totem Dragon Clan's chariots were far too fast. By the time Long Xiaoxiao's voice reached Chu Feng's ears, several of the chariots had already roared past.
Chu Feng hadn't even had time to make a respectful gesture, but the people aboard the chariots didn't seem inclined to pursue the matter—they simply vanished into the distance at great speed.
"There seem to be some very powerful figures on those chariots."
"And everyone on those chariots has a grave expression on their face. Something might have happened," Egg said.
"Would anyone actually dare provoke the Totem Dragon Clan here?" Chu Feng had also noticed the somber mood aboard the chariots.
