"I've observed it carefully. The True Demon Crane is ultimately just an artifact. It possesses special power, that much is true, but the formations it displayed were all set by its previous owner."
"No matter how powerful it is on its own, it shouldn't possess fully independent consciousness or a cultivation system. So the idea that the True Demon Crane itself set up a sacrificial formation to refine us doesn't make sense."
"If we want to get to the bottom of this, we'll have to wait for the True Demon Crane's master to wake up and ask about the crane's true origins." Chu Feng analyzed.
Though Chu Feng was merely a junior, few people dared dismiss his words anymore.
Because Chu Feng had done too many unbelievable things — and just now, he had once again saved the lives of the Totem Dragon Clan's geniuses.
Once or twice could be coincidence, but when it happened every single time, that was genuine ability.
The Totem Dragon Clan's Clan Master gazed at Chu Feng, a barely perceptible trace of relief in his narrowed eyes.
After everything that had just happened — why would he be pleased?
Naturally, it was because he felt more and more certain that Chu Feng was the very person he had seen in the prophecy.
He was grateful that the choice to befriend Chu Feng had been the right one.
"Report, Clan Master — the Primordial Star Sea has changed."
Suddenly, someone called out from outside.
At that, everyone immediately turned their gaze outward.
Even through the walls, looking from the inside out, they could clearly see that the Primordial Star Sea had indeed undergone a transformation.
The Primordial Star Sea had already been changing — blood-red mist had risen above the surface, carrying an eerie beauty.
That mist had originally been condensed, swirling like a hurricane.
But a powerful gust of wind had appeared, suppressing the mist so that the red haze could no longer rise.
Now, the force suppressing the red mist had vanished. The crimson haze began condensing at tremendous speed, moving deeper into the Primordial Star Sea.
Soon, the red mist dispersed, and a dazzling road of light emerged in its place.
The road stretched deep into the Primordial Star Sea, and at its end — exactly where the red mist had previously gathered — there now stood a flickering gate.
Though it flickered in and out of visibility, one could tell it was far from ordinary. It radiated a sense of sacred majesty, and at a single glance, anyone could sense that extraordinary fortune lay within.
The spectacle was so extraordinary that the crowd, still preoccupied with the matter of the True Demon Crane, was instantly thrown into an uproar.
Because the vision that had appeared above the Primordial Star Sea was simply too eye-catching.
Anyone could see it — this was a monumental opportunity, a fortune visible to the naked eye.
Some had already begun to move, even though they knew full well that the Primordial Star Sea harbored terrifying forces that forbade entry.
Yet despite the risk, some chose to disregard it, wanting to follow the road toward that flickering gate deep within the sea.
But when they drew close, they discovered that the road was completely impassable — they simply could not set foot on it.
One could still enter the Primordial Star Sea itself, at most enduring the forces within.
But this road alone was one that no one could access.
Not the elders, nor the juniors.
"That road — you really can't get on it?"
"Then what's the point of it appearing here?"
"There must be some special method required to step onto it."
Even the members of the Totem Dragon Clan were buzzing with discussion.
That flickering gate was too far away — no one could tell whether it was a mere apparition or something real.
But at the very least, the road above the Primordial Star Sea was undeniably real.
A road that truly existed, yet could not be entered — such a restriction surely had its own solution.
So everyone began observing intently, searching for a way in.
Chu Feng was no exception.
"Chu Feng, can you find a way?" the Queen said excitedly.
She too could see that this was a rare opportunity. Moreover, this was nothing like the True Demon Crane — this was the Primordial Star Sea, one of the most mysterious and unfathomable places in the entire vast Martial Cultivation World.
If they could get inside successfully, they might even run into Little Fishy.
So the Queen was every bit as eager for Chu Feng to seize the advantage.
"I can't find any clues." Chu Feng had already activated his Heavenly Eyes, but he couldn't see a thing.
"Why not try the Heavenly Master's Horsetail Whisk?" the Queen suggested.
"I can't. That feeling of unease has been lingering. If I use the Heavenly Master's Horsetail Whisk, it might invite disaster," Chu Feng said.
