But Chu Feng did no such thing. Instead, he walked toward a single grave.
Among the many lavish graves, this one stood out like a crane among chickens. It was hardly a grave — it was more like a magnificent palace.
And the tombstone before it could only be described as monumental. A hundred thousand meters tall, it pierced through the clouds, and the material used to construct it was extravagantly precious.
Carved upon that towering tombstone were the words: Tomb of the Founding Ancestor of the Situ Spirit Gate!!!
Chu Feng did not approach the palace-sized tomb. He had already seen through it — it was empty, nothing more than a showpiece.
Instead, Chu Feng walked up to the tombstone and placed his hand upon it. Power of the barrier surged inward, and at once a barrier gate materialized.
"There's a hidden mechanism here?" Egg was surprised. She hadn't expected a barrier gate to be concealed within.
"The formation power that Situ Kunye wielded originated from this place. On top of that, the distinctive aura he carried also came from here."
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be where Situ Kunye conducted his secluded cultivation. It contains the formation power left behind by the Situ Spirit Gate's ancestors."
As he spoke, Chu Feng produced the Celestial Master's Horsetail Whip.
"This Celestial Master's Horsetail Whip has been dormant as of late, but perhaps it sensed my fury. Ever since we arrived at the Situ Spirit Gate, it has been restless."
"I believe that even if it would normally stand by and watch someone die, today it will definitely help me."
Chu Feng activated the Celestial Master's Horsetail Whip, and true to his words, it unleashed an extraordinarily vast power. That power surged into the barrier gate, and before long, the gate began to change.
Seeing this, the corner of Chu Feng's mouth curved upward.
This barrier gate could only be entered by members of the Situ Spirit Gate, and it possessed an extremely powerful identification mechanism. Merely stealing the bloodline of the Situ Spirit Gate was not enough to gain entry — one had to be a genuine descendant.
Under normal circumstances, Chu Feng would have been completely unable to enter.
But now, the power of the Celestial Master's Horsetail Whip had deceived the barrier gate, and Chu Feng was able to step through.
What greeted him upon entering was a grand hall, and within that hall stood three magnificent formations.
Before each formation stood a barrier stone tablet.
They were labeled respectively: Attack, Defense, and Cultivate.
The Attack formation was the most powerful, the Defense formation was second, and the Cultivate formation was the weakest — nearly exhausted. Yet it was the Cultivate formation that was also the most unique.
At a single glance, Chu Feng could discern the purpose of all three formations.
The Attack formation was naturally a combat array. Mastering it would allow one to borrow its power and obtain combat strength far exceeding one's own level.
The reason Situ Kunye had been able to suppress Yue Lian so easily was that he had mastered the Attack formation. However, he hadn't mastered it to any great extent, so it merely enhanced his combat strength by a tier above his own cultivation.
The Defense formation was exactly that — a defensive array. It had once been formidable, but it had weakened considerably over time. The Situ Spirit Gate had likely used it many times, leaving very little power remaining.
As for the Cultivate formation, it was naturally intended for cultivation. It had originally been the most powerful of the three.
But the Situ Spirit Gate had cultivated with it far too many times, and their methods had been incorrect, leaving the cultivation formation's power nearly depleted.
With the help of the Celestial Master's Horsetail Whip, Chu Feng could master both the Attack and Defense formations.
However, the Cultivate formation was useless to him — it was designed exclusively for members of the Situ Spirit Gate's bloodline. Even if Chu Feng could deceive the Cultivate formation and attempt to cultivate, the energy entering his body would be incompatible with his bloodline, yielding no benefit whatsoever.
But that didn't matter. The Attack and Defense formations alone were more than enough, especially considering how little power the Cultivate formation had left. Even if he could use it, the assistance would be negligible.
So Chu Feng directed his full attention to the Attack and Defense formations.
After careful observation, Chu Feng determined that the Defense formation, while similarly depleted, still contained enough power to withstand any attack below the True God level — though only for a short duration, roughly half an hour.
As for the Attack formation, if he mastered it completely and used it without restraint, he could temporarily obtain the combat strength of a Demigod at its peak.
Had Chu Feng possessed the Situ Spirit Gate's bloodline, he could even wield the power of a True God. This showed that the Situ Spirit Gate's ancestors had genuinely been formidable.
But it didn't matter. To annihilate the Situ Spirit Gate, Demigod-level peak strength was more than sufficient.
"Today I'm not only going to dig up his ancestral graves — I'm going to use the Situ Spirit Gate's own power to wipe out his entire clan."
Gazing upon the formations before him, Chu Feng felt a surge of excitement, and the fury that had been burning within him finally showed plainly on his face.
He then began using the Celestial Master's Horsetail Whip's power to take control of the formations. The first one he mastered was the Defense formation.
Before long, the Defense formation's power had been completely absorbed into Chu Feng's body.
"It's done?" Egg was surprised.
She hadn't expected Chu Feng to master the Defense formation's power so quickly.
The Celestial Master's Horsetail Whip had certainly helped deceive the formation and allow him access, but how much he could absorb and how fast he could do so depended entirely on his own ability.
"After all, I am the successor of Lord Qin Jiu. If a formation like this could stump me, wouldn't that be embarrassing for Lord Qin Jiu?" Chu Feng showed no arrogance — if anything, he felt this was simply expected.
After all, this formation had been left behind by the Situ Spirit Gate's ancestors for their own descendants. What it tested was not the ability to break formations, but rather one's comprehension.
When it came to comprehension, Chu Feng feared no one.
After mastering the Defense formation's power, Chu Feng turned his attention to the Attack formation.
He did not immediately take control of it. Instead, he began setting up a grand formation of his own — he intended to move the Attack formation entirely.
"Chu Feng, what are you doing?" Egg asked, confused.
He could have simply mastered the Attack formation directly. Why go through so much trouble to relocate it?
"That Situ Kunye lured everyone from the True Dragon Starfield here precisely to humiliate me, Chu Feng."
"Then I'll master his ancestors' formation right in front of them, to prove just how incompetent they are," Chu Feng said.
"Only you could think of something like that. But this queen approves." Egg was quite satisfied with Chu Feng's plan.
Under normal circumstances, relocating such a formation would be extraordinarily difficult.
