By now, the vast borders of the endless Bow Hegemon Plains were already packed with people. In the sky and on the ground, figures from every direction could be seen everywhere.
There were even mountain-sized bodies galloping across the horizon — experts of the Monster Clan had arrived as well.
Experts from every faction swarmed in like insects that had discovered a feast, converging from all sides to surround this delicacy.
However, this feast was not one to be consumed with the mouth, but with the eyes. What was about to unfold here would be a visual spectacle.
And now, after a stretch of travel, Chu Feng and Baili Xuankong had finally arrived at the Bow Hegemon Plains.
But upon seeing the plains before them, they — like everyone else — couldn't help but have their eyes light up with astonishment.
Stretching across that vast plain was a colossal formation that sealed off heaven and earth.
The formation was not only extraordinarily sturdy, it practically covered the entirety of the Bow Hegemon Plains, forming an endless fortress so massive it left people in awe and shook them to their core.
Beneath the fortress, countless small gates had been opened, and through those gates, one could enter within.
Those gates appeared to be spread across every side of the fortress, making it convenient for people arriving from any direction to gain entry.
But despite the fact that all the gates were open, not just anyone could enter. Only the younger generation — those under a hundred years of age — were permitted inside.
Anyone over a hundred who attempted to force their way through would not only be repelled by a tremendous force, but would also suffer severe injuries.
Not even Martial Emperor-level powerhouses could breach this formation.
"This formation is truly extraordinary — a masterpiece without question."
Though the fortress had been constructed to near perfection, Chu Feng still spotted the hidden dragon markings, which indicated this was the work of a Dragon-level Spirit World Master.
Yet this formation was so powerful that no ordinary Dragon-level Spirit World Master could have deployed it. It was an enormous undertaking, a grand project of the highest caliber.
"A formation of this defensive magnitude could rival those found within ancient ruins. Forget about me — I doubt even a Fourth-grade Martial Emperor could break through this formation."
"No wonder the one who sent those invitations was able to barge into my Greenwood Sacred Academy so easily. Such means are truly admirable." Even Baili Xuankong couldn't help but express his admiration.
"But the Bow Hegemon Plains are so well-known. People come here fairly regularly — did no one see who set up such a formidable formation and built such an impregnable fortress?" Chu Feng asked curiously.
"I've heard that starting a year ago, violent winds swept across the Bow Hegemon Plains. The gale blotted out the sky and covered the entire plain, making it impossible for ordinary people to set foot inside — Martial Emperors couldn't either."
"When I first saw the invitation and read that this Younger Generation Strongest Tournament would be held at the Bow Hegemon Plains, I was a bit concerned, given how harsh the conditions here were."
"But now I think I understand. The violent winds on the Bow Hegemon Plains weren't a natural disaster — they were man-made." Baili Xuankong said.
"I see. What you're saying, Ancestor, is that the person who built this fortress didn't want anyone to know about it, so they deliberately created those winds to keep people away while they completed this enormous project."
"If that's the case, the Bow Emperor's successor must have planned this grand event for quite some time. There's no way they could have built a fortress like this without a long period of preparation," Chu Feng said.
"That's most likely the case," Baili Xuankong agreed.
"Truly fascinating. The Bow Emperor's successor's strength is not to be underestimated," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Indeed. It seems that even for you, this battle won't be easy," Baili Xuankong said.
"That would only make it more interesting," Chu Feng replied with a grin.
