"Let me try." Chu Feng suddenly spoke up.
Hearing Chu Feng speak, Xian Miaomiao's face lit up with joy. She had been so consumed by frustration and sorrow that she had forgotten about the remarkable Spirit World Master right beside her.
"You?" However, after Chu Feng spoke, Xiao Hong cast a look of disdain his way. It didn't particularly trust Chu Feng — after all, even it couldn't do it.
"The rock walls here are extremely hard because there is a special kind of power reinforcing them. It isn't the power of a barrier, but I can attempt to use barrier techniques to break through," Chu Feng said.
"It's the power of the Ancient Immortal Flowers. The more Ancient Immortal Flowers there are, the stronger this power becomes. And there are a tremendous number of Ancient Immortal Flowers here, so this protective force is extraordinarily powerful," Xian Miaomiao explained.
"Leave it to me." Chu Feng smiled once more, then began to set up a barrier formation. But this time, the barrier formation he was arranging was somewhat different from the usual.
Before formally starting the formation, Chu Feng took out eight great banners from his Universe Bag. The eight banners were each a different color, but all were covered in carved runes and inscriptions, each containing a special kind of power.
Chu Feng planted the eight banners around the area, then used the power of the barrier as threads to link them all together.
After that, he sat down cross-legged at the center of the eight banners and only then began to construct the formation.
Those eight banners were supreme treasures of the barrier arts — something Chu Feng had obtained from the Wealth-Loving Immortal.
Honestly, without these eight banners, breaking through the protective force here would have been anything but easy. But with them, Chu Feng now had at least an eighty percent chance of success.
Swish, swish, swish—
Suddenly, Chu Feng's hands moved with blinding speed, leaving trails of afterimages. At the same time, vast power of the barrier surged out from his body like golden dragons, flowing into the formation and merging together to form a grand barrier array. Its radiance blazed in every direction, its momentum overwhelming.
"Beauty, beauty, what my master is setting up right now — that's a barrier formation, right? Does that mean he's a Spirit World Master?" Xiao Hong asked Xian Miaomiao curiously, because the barrier formation Chu Feng was constructing at this moment truly did look terrifying in its power.
"That's right. Chu Feng really is a Spirit World Master. Xiao Hong, you actually know about these things?" Xian Miaomiao looked at Xiao Hong with considerable surprise. Although Xiao Hong had been isolated from the world here, it was far from ignorant — and it seemed to know quite a lot, at that.
"Of course! We Royal-grade Spirit Bugs have always been diligent and eager learners. And I am the very embodiment of diligence and eagerness. So I don't know anything — no, no, that's not right. I know everything."
"I'm super smart, super powerful." Xiao Hong puffed out its little head with pride.
"Break!"
At that very moment, Chu Feng let out a great shout. Then one of the eight banners detached from the formation, carrying tremendous power as it shot forward in the direction Chu Feng pointed.
Hummm—
The banner struck the rock wall, but it didn't explode through it. Instead, much like a spiritual entity, it merged right into the stone.
And at that moment, even to the naked eye, one could see layer upon layer of power within the rock wall — writhing like a distorted image — beginning to dissipate.
"Break!"
Right after that, Chu Feng shouted seven more times in succession, and the remaining seven banners followed suit, each one merging into the rock wall.
Swish—
In that same instant, Chu Feng, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, shot to his feet. And as he rose, the grand formation array that had been surrounding him rose along with him.
At that moment, Chu Feng's long hair swept in the wind, his robes billowed, and his entire being radiated a commanding presence — strikingly different from before.
Crack—
