Whoosh— Suddenly, the Palace Master of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace waved his great sleeve, and a flat map of the Primordial Star Sea appeared on the wall at one end of the palace.
Moreover, there was a route extending from outside the Primordial Star Sea inward, ultimately leading to the entrance stele within the Primordial Star Sea.
"This route was discovered by that Chu Feng. He even led your son and daughter along it. Do you remember?"
The Palace Master of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace asked.
"I remember."
The Clan Leader of the Totem Dragon Clan certainly remembered. Long Chengyu and Long Muxi had been unable to endure that power and ultimately turned back.
However, though Chu Feng had made it to the very end, he hadn't discovered anything either.
"I heard that it was this Chu Feng who saved everyone inside that great formation?" the Palace Master of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace suddenly asked.
"Had it not been for Young Friend Chu Feng, not a single one of the juniors who entered would have come out alive," the Clan Leader of the Totem Dragon Clan said.
"A fine talent," the Palace Master of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace said.
To this, the Clan Leader of the Totem Dragon Clan said nothing.
He had already seen that the Palace Master of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace thought quite highly of Chu Feng.
But that was only natural. A junior with such extraordinary talent—both his martial cultivation and his barrier techniques had reached heights that ordinary people could scarcely hope to approach.
Any normal person would appreciate such a thing, wouldn't they?
In the past, the Clan Leader of the Totem Dragon Clan might have seized the opportunity to directly recommend Chu Feng to the Palace Master of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace.
But that wasn't what he intended to do now…
After a brief moment of reflection, the Palace Master of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace continued: "I discovered this path before that junior named Chu Feng."
"This path, while oppressive, is not limited to juniors."
"Therefore, not only was I able to enter, but after venturing deep inside, I too discovered a secret."
"This secret is related to that Refinement Great Formation," the Palace Master of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace said.
"And then?" the Clan Leader of the Totem Dragon Clan pressed.
"I learned that later, the Primordial Star Sea would undergo a change. During this change, a great gate would emerge, and within the gate there was a formation that needed to be completed."
"It required a powerful member of the Demon Clan bloodline, and it had to be a junior. If one was not a junior, or was of the Human Clan, none would be able to enter."
"To tell you the truth, the hint given to me at the time was that if the formation could be completed, Tian'er would receive a great benefit."
"That is why I asked for your help. But… I truly did not expect that it was a Refinement Great Formation," the Palace Master of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace said.
"You're saying that you were also used?" the Clan Leader of the Totem Dragon Clan asked.
"Yes." The Palace Master of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace nodded.
"By something inside the Primordial Star Sea?" the Clan Leader of the Totem Dragon Clan asked again.
"It certainly was not the work of anyone from the Vast Martial Cultivation World. My guess is that the one who communicated with me must have been an existence living within the Primordial Star Sea itself."
"But what kind of existence exactly, I cannot say."
"However, in such an extraordinary place, it would not be unusual for an ancient clan that never emerged into the world to have passed down their heritage in seclusion there, wouldn't you agree?" the Palace Master of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace asked.
The Clan Leader of the Totem Dragon Clan could not deny this. Based on their experience exploring ancient ruins, some places indeed harbored… special races that had never shown themselves to the outside world, conducting their heritage behind closed doors.
"If that is truly the case, then wouldn't your Tian'er also be in danger?" the Clan Leader of the Totem Dragon Clan asked.
"Something must also be happening inside the Primordial Star Sea, but I believe Tian'er can handle it. If he cannot, then that simply means it was his fate to perish."
The Palace Master of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace said.
That attitude could be taken as great confidence in Jie Tian.
But it could equally be taken as indifference to whether Jie Tian lived or died.
