After some traveling, Chu Feng and his group finally arrived at the exit of the Heavenly Path in the Eastern Sea Region.
The exit of the Heavenly Path could not be traversed in reverse.
It seemed that, in order to maintain some form of balance, a tremendous force had sealed the connection between the Eastern Sea Region and the Martial Holy Land, making it impossible for anyone from the Martial Holy Land to enter the Eastern Sea Region.
Therefore, to return to the Eastern Sea Region from the Martial Holy Land, one had to pass through a spatial rift.
However, the spatial rift that Compass Immortal had found previously was far too dangerous. While experts like Chu Feng could still use it, the others would struggle to pass through. Naturally, Chu Feng would not let them take such a risk by using that treacherous spatial rift.
"Chu Feng, raise your hand." Suddenly, the blind elder's voice transmission entered Chu Feng's ear.
Although the blind elder had not revealed himself, he had been following Chu Feng and his group all along—only, no one could detect him. After all, the old man was a Half-God. He was, without question, the strongest existence in the Martial Holy Land.
"Uncle Blind, why don't you just show yourself? There are some old friends of yours here too, aren't there?" Chu Feng transmitted back.
After all, there were many people in the Martial Holy Land who had met the blind elder before. Though no one knew how they had come to know each other, they were acquainted nonetheless.
As for the Eastern Sea Region, even more people there knew the blind elder. Chu Feng felt that the old man had no need to keep hiding.
"Master, things are different now than they once were. Since this old servant has acknowledged his master, he can no longer show even the slightest disrespect toward him."
"The identity I held before was nothing but a disguise. The identity I hold now is the real me," the blind elder said.
Chu Feng understood what the blind elder meant. In the past, the old man could afford to wear a disguise. But now, he could not. And if he did not disguise himself, everyone would learn of his special relationship with Chu Feng. That was why he chose not to appear at all.
The blind elder had his concerns, and naturally, Chu Feng would not force the issue.
Swoosh—
Suddenly, Chu Feng swept his great sleeve, and a layer of barrier energy was released.
In truth, the barrier energy he released served no purpose—he was simply doing as the blind elder had instructed.
Hummm—
However, in that single sweep of Chu Feng's sleeve, a massive spatial gate materialized out of thin air.
This gate had not been conjured by Chu Feng. It had been opened by the blind elder in the moment Chu Feng waved his sleeve.
"This spatial rift!!!"
Upon seeing the spatial rift, everyone present lit up with surprise.
This spatial rift was truly extraordinary. Not only was it wide and brilliantly illuminated, but its grandeur was simply majestic.
This was nothing like an ordinary spatial rift—it was practically a spatial corridor, a passage that had pierced through the ancient barrier and linked the Martial Holy Land with the Eastern Sea Region.
Compared to the spatial rift that Compass Immortal had discovered, the magnificence of this one was all the more striking.
If Compass Immortal's spatial rift was like a narrow forest path overgrown with thorns and terribly difficult to traverse, then the spatial rift now before them was like a spectacular, heaven-reaching highway.
"Chu Feng, how did you discover this spatial rift?" the Elven King asked curiously.
"I stumbled upon it by chance after I returned to the Eastern Sea Region that day," Chu Feng replied with a smile.
"Hm?" Yet, the moment Chu Feng spoke these words, the gazes of the Four Sacred Beasts shifted subtly.
After all, they had been following Chu Feng the entire time. They knew full well that when they had traveled from the Eastern Sea Region back to the Martial Holy Land, they had used that same treacherous spatial rift. At that time, there had been absolutely no sign of this magnificent spatial rift.
However, the four of them seemed to have noticed something was off but chose not to question it, pretending they knew nothing.
"Truly extraordinary."
