With the Universe Bag in hand, Chu Feng discovered that it was filled entirely with medicinal pills — healing pills, pain-relief pills, and even pills that could enhance one's formation techniques and even cultivation. Every single one was worth a fortune.
Even Dragon Inner Pills, which were considered extremely precious within the Totem Dragon Clan, were present in the Universe Bag to the tune of a full one hundred.
It was Dragon Inner Pills that Chu Feng had relied on during the Strongest Trial to finally break free from the shackles of the Martial Ancestor realm and step directly into the Half God realm.
Although Dragon Inner Pills no longer offered as much benefit to the current Chu Feng, a full one hundred of them was more than enough to demonstrate the sincerity of the Totem Dragon Clan's Clan Chief.
"Senior, this is far too valuable. Even if you wish to give it to me, it would be no trouble to hand it over after the matter is settled." Chu Feng attempted to return the Universe Bag.
"Young friend Chu Feng, this is your compensation for this journey. Regardless of success or failure, it is what you deserve."
The Totem Dragon Clan Chief's single statement already made the meaning of this reward clear.
"Chu Feng, just accept it," Long Chengyu urged from the side.
"Clan Chief Senior, then I thank you." Seeing this, Chu Feng stopped declining and simply took it.
After all, these pills were all worth a fortune, and they would undoubtedly prove of considerable help to him.
"Don't be so formal, young friend Chu Feng. There is still much I must ask of you," the Totem Dragon Clan Chief said.
"Heh, Clan Chief Senior, you're the one being too polite. I've already said — given my relationships with Brother Chengyu and Miss Mu Xi, even without any compensation, I would still accompany them."
"Oh, right, Clan Chief Senior — where did these tokens come from?" Chu Feng asked, holding up the token in his hand.
Although he hadn't seen any streak of light fly toward them, through careful observation he had come to realize that the Totem Dragon Clan Chief actually didn't fully understand what was happening before them.
He didn't understand, yet he still intended to carry out certain actions.
Under such circumstances, there was one possibility that was by far the most likely.
He had been commissioned by someone!!!
If that was truly the case, then the person who commissioned this task must have known something about the situation.
Chu Feng had even guessed that these tokens had likely been handed to the Totem Dragon Clan Chief by that very person.
"Young friend Chu Feng, my Totem Dragon Clan came here as part of a partnership with someone."
"However, the identity of this partner is... rather special. It would be inconvenient for me to say."
"These tokens were given to us by that partner."
"Actually, they were given just moments ago. I myself only just learned what exactly needs to be done," the Totem Dragon Clan Chief said honestly.
"So everything the Clan Chief Senior knows, you've already told us?" Chu Feng asked.
"Yes." The Totem Dragon Clan Chief nodded.
Seeing this, Chu Feng had nothing further to ask.
Everything that needed to be disclosed, the Clan Chief had disclosed. As for the person who commissioned the task — he clearly wasn't willing to say. What more could Chu Feng ask?
All he could do was act according to what had been relayed.
"Father, should we set off now?" Long Chengyu asked.
"Depart immediately."
"Remember — your own safety comes first. Moreover, this operation must be carried out in secret. Do not reveal yourselves when you enter," the Totem Dragon Clan Chief instructed.
"As you command." The junior members of the Totem Dragon Clan answered in unison.
Chu Feng and the others then set off at once, flying toward that path with their tokens in hand.
Since the tokens themselves possessed powerful concealment powers, they didn't even need to employ their own methods — simply activating the tokens was enough to hide their figures.
And with the tokens in hand, they did indeed pass smoothly into that pathway. Once inside, they felt not the slightest discomfort.
The oppressive force that had originally existed above the Primordial Star Sea was entirely absent on this road.
At first, Chu Feng and the others proceeded cautiously, but as they advanced without encountering any pressure at all, they gradually picked up their pace.
The closer they drew to the great gate, the more they could sense just how extraordinary it truly was.
"What an astonishing formation," Chu Feng marveled inwardly. Although he couldn't see where exactly the gate led or what lay within it, he could feel the power of that formation — and even though Chu Feng was now a Divine Cloak Spirit World Master, the formation on that gate represented a force that was utterly beyond his reach.
Truly, there was always a sky beyond the sky, and a person beyond the person.
Chu Feng's abilities, though already the envy of countless others, were like a mere speck beneath that sky beyond the sky.
Because they were now so close to the great gate, it no longer flickered in and out of visibility. Instead, it grew ever more clear.
