"Mmm..."
Blinking drowsily, Chu Feng opened his eyes, and the moment his consciousness returned, he was filled with immense joy.
He discovered that his mind was now filled with a great deal of information, and that information was precisely the cultivation method for the Void Flight Technique. However, the elation in Chu Feng's heart hadn't even had time to manifest as a smile before he was stunned by the scene before him.
"This... what is this place?"
Right now, what lay before Chu Feng's eyes was no longer that strange room, but a bizarre hall, a truly strange hall.
It was so high the top couldn't be seen, as if it could stretch on into another world. The surrounding walls were not made of wood, stone, or iron; they were as bright as crystal, yet as smooth as mirrors, incredibly beautiful.
However, what shocked Chu Feng the most at this moment was that on the wall opposite him, stretching straight up towards the sky, there was actually a huge gate.
This gate was enormous, several times larger even than the city gates of the Ancient Wasteland City, and its shape was very peculiar, resembling a demon's maw extending from the wall.
Furthermore, this gate was covered in thick, heavy chains, each about a meter thick, densely packed and obscuring the entire gate, as if some incredibly fearsome monster was imprisoned within.
When Chu Feng extended his Mental Power, he turned pale. Despite the closed gate, he could still sense a terrifying aura emanating from the other side.
That aura was cold, icy, and dark, as if it didn't belong to this world at all, so terrifying it made every hair on Chu Feng's body stand on end and sent chills down his spine.
"Heavens, am I dead? Is this the legendary hell?" This thought crossed Chu Feng's mind because everything before him felt so unreal, so dreamlike, and so terrifying.
"Hey! It's really you, you've finally come! Haha, that's great, that's great!"
But just then, a joyful voice suddenly came from behind Chu Feng, startling him badly.
"What is it?!" Chu Feng jumped in fright and sprang to his feet, only then realizing there was a giant egg behind him.
Yes, it was an egg, and a black one at that. This egg was huge, far bigger than a chicken egg—in fact, it was even taller than Chu Feng himself. Such an egg shouldn't exist in this world.
"Who are you calling 'what'? Damn you, Chu Feng, you really are damn stupid! It's taken you so long to come play with me! Didn't you know I was bored to death!!!"
Suddenly, the voice spoke again from inside the giant egg, and it was a sweet, pleasant voice, like the gentle warble of an oriole or the chime of bells, arguably the most beautiful sound Chu Feng had ever heard.
"A mother egg? This is actually a mother egg!" Chu Feng was stunned. Since it was a girl's voice, it must be a female egg.
"You're the mother egg! You're a chicken egg, a bastard, a turtle egg!!!" A sharp curse erupted from within the giant egg, and it even began to shake violently, as if something was trying to break out from inside.
*Buzz—* Just then, Chu Feng's vision blurred, and the surroundings began to spin rapidly. When everything returned to normal, Chu Feng found with astonishment that he was lying on the ground, back in the chamber within the tomb.
"This... could it be that I just had a dream?" Chu Feng was greatly surprised, but upon confirming that the cultivation method for the Void Flight Technique was still present in his mind, he let out a relieved sigh.
"This kid is actually still alive? How is that possible? Could it be that he received the Void Flight Technique's recognition?" Almost the same instant Chu Feng opened his eyes, the roar of the Thousand Wind Sect's Sect Master rang out.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! With his level of cultivation, how could he possibly refine such a special martial art?" And although Elder Zhuge's expression couldn't be seen, the shock in his voice was unmistakable.
Seeing this, Chu Feng smiled faintly and couldn't help but stand up. He lightly dusted off his clothes and said to the two, "My apologies to you, esteemed elders. I've disappointed you—I'm not dead, and I'm alive and well. As for the Void Flight Technique you wanted... well..."
