At long last, the deciphering formation had been fully laid out. Chu Feng activated it and began focusing intently on breaking through this burial ground.
Having long since located the entrance to the burial ground with his Heavenly Eyes' keen perception, Chu Feng was confident he could crack it open despite it being sealed shut.
Once the deciphering formation was set in motion, everything proceeded exactly as Chu Feng had envisioned.
The golden mountain beneath began to collapse under the bombardment of the barrier formation.
When a tunnel of seemingly bottomless depth — leading to who knew where — materialized on the surface of what had been an intact golden mountain, Chu Feng dove into it without a moment's hesitation.
He was certain that this tunnel was the entrance to the burial ground.
The tunnel was extraordinarily deep — far deeper than Chu Feng had imagined — and as he descended, he encountered no obstacles of any kind, simply continuing straight downward. He could also sense that Xue Ji was right behind him, having followed him down.
However, Xue Ji was quite cunning. She deliberately trailed behind Chu Feng, fearing there might be danger ahead, intending to let him serve as the sacrificial lamb.
Hummmm—
At long last, faint points of light appeared in the depths of the pitch-black tunnel. As Chu Feng continued his descent, those lights grew ever brighter.
"I'm here."
Chu Feng knew that was a barrier gate. Passing through it should grant him entry into the burial ground.
Hummmm—
Everything unfolded exactly as Chu Feng had predicted. It was indeed a barrier gate, and he passed through it with ease.
After crossing the barrier gate, the blinding radiance stung his eyes, causing a slight ache.
This was a barrier space. Overhead, there was no blue sky and no white clouds — only a searingly bright white light.
Yet in stark contrast to that dazzling white glow above, the ground of this barrier space was covered entirely with bones.
A sea of bones — a true sea of bones, stretching endlessly, piled layer upon layer, a truly breathtaking sight.
After all, the owners of these bones had once been living, breathing beings.
Scattered throughout the boundless sea of bones, towering skeletal remains hundreds of meters tall appeared here and there.
It turned out that not only a vast number of humans had perished here, but demon beasts as well.
Most importantly, every single bone in this place shimmered with a faint glow, resembling supreme treasures — utterly captivating.
Their origins were all still intact.
"Oh my — so many bones, and they've all preserved their essences. Your Majesty… this really is a treasure trove. This is a treasure prepared for you."
Chu Feng was absolutely thrilled, feeling the blood surge through his entire body. This excited him even more than discovering a treasure for his own use.
For so long, he had felt that he owed Egg, and he had always wanted to find a treasure trove that could benefit her.
And without a doubt, this treasure trove was meant for Egg.
True, not many of the fallen here possessed truly powerful cultivation levels. But the sheer number of bones was staggering, and he firmly believed this would be of enormous help to Egg.
This space was nothing short of paradise for World Spirits and Evil Spirits.
"With so many well-preserved essences, it seems Her Majesty will finally get to feast to her heart's content today." At that moment, Her Majesty was equally excited.
"This battlefield really has been well preserved." A stunningly beautiful figure landed beside Chu Feng — it was Xue Ji, who had followed him here.
"You knew what was here all along?" Chu Feng asked her.
"Of course I did. This was from a massive battle that took place in the Hundred-Refined Mortal World ages ago. Countless sects gathered here, and in the end both sides were devastated, with nearly all of them perishing here."
"Although their cultivation levels were generally not that high, their essences have been perfectly preserved. Such an enormous quantity — for me, that is of tremendous help." Gazing upon everything before her, Xue Ji could not help but lick her lips, her sultry expression utterly alluring.
However, she quickly turned her head toward Chu Feng and smiled. "Chu Feng, I really should thank you for bringing me here."
"No need for thanks. I need this treasure trove as well," Chu Feng replied. With that, he opened the World Spirit's gate, preparing to summon Her Majesty to refine the essences contained within.
