Everyone began to observe the clues in this place.
Just as they had expected, the clues here were indeed helpful for the journey ahead.
Everything they had encountered upon arriving here seemed to be connected, one link leading to the next.
But they had barely begun to pick up on the details, not yet truly grasping their meaning, when Chu Feng was already leading them onward.
They were following Chu Feng anyway, so they did not particularly mind whether they could figure it out themselves. After all, as long as Chu Feng had figured it out, that was enough.
In the time that followed, Chu Feng relied on his powers of observation to lead everyone forward, overcoming every obstacle in their path.
Even when they encountered genuine Fierce Beasts along the way, he handled them with ease.
But every experience continued to reshape their perception of Chu Feng. Though he resolved each danger with effortless grace…
…that was only because Chu Feng was there.
If Chu Feng had not been with them, every one of those dangers could have cost them their lives.
Yet Chu Feng kept on reshaping their understanding.
After traveling for some time, an ancient palace appeared before them.
This ancient palace was a teleportation formation that could take them out of here.
The reason it had further broadened their perception was that Chu Feng had been heading straight for this place all along.
Chu Feng's arrival here was no coincidence. He had pinpointed this location from the very beginning.
The group followed Chu Feng into the palace, and in the blink of an eye they left the forest behind, transported onto a vast plaza.
At that moment, the force that had suppressed their ability to fly vanished, and everyone could soar through the air once more.
Rising high into the sky, they could see mountains, rivers, and every manner of landscape beyond the plaza. They had arrived in an entirely new world.
Moreover, the scenery here was breathtakingly beautiful. Compared to the danger-filled forest they had just left, it was practically a paradise — an earthly immortal realm.
But there was one exception — the southeast direction.
Deep in the southeast, a mass of thunderclouds loomed, purple in color, shrouding the land beneath. Even with special means of observation, they could not make out what lay below.
This unknown cast a faint sense of unease over them.
Swish—
Suddenly, Chu Feng swept his great sleeve and released the rope formation, severing his connection with the group.
"Young Hero Chu Feng, what's wrong? Did we do something wrong?"
Seeing this scene, everyone panicked.
They thought Chu Feng was no longer planning to take them along.
But they knew full well that even if they could have reached this place on their own, it would never have gone so smoothly without Chu Feng.
"Wait for me here. I'm going to scout ahead."
With those words, Chu Feng rose into the air.
Swish, swish, swish—
But immediately after, several figures soared into the air as well, surrounding Chu Feng.
"Young Master Chu Feng, I'll go with you." That was Chu Shanshan speaking.
The moment she spoke, the others came to their senses and also rose into the air one after another.
Every single person who had followed Chu Feng stood up to join him — not a single one remained behind.
"Based on my observation and reasoning, the peaceful scenery here is nothing but an illusion."
"There is no safe path that leads out of this place."
"The only way out lies beneath that mass of thunderclouds."
"However, there are undoubtedly hidden dangers there, which is exactly why I intended to scout ahead alone." Chu Feng explained.
