Hum—
The moment Chu Feng touched that gate, the other two gates vanished instantly.
At the same time, the gate before Chu Feng swung open.
In an instant, a tremendous pulling force sucked him inside.
When Chu Feng steadied himself, he was astonished to find that he had landed in yet another grand hall.
This hall was considerably smaller than the previous one, but still enormously large — so large that it felt hollow, because there was nothing inside. Not a single pillar stood anywhere.
However, at the very center of the hall sat a stone platform that looked as though it were forged from gemstones, gleaming brilliantly and exquisitely beautiful.
The deep blue gemstone platform was circular, no more than a meter tall and roughly ten meters in diameter.
Yet a platform shimmering with blue light, set within this splendorous hall where every inch seemed wrought from gold, looked extraordinarily beautiful — like a blue rose blooming amid a sea of peonies, dazzling and eye-catching.
Most importantly, hovering above the blue platform was a fist-sized gemstone.
"That stone?"
The moment Her Majesty saw the gemstone, her gaze changed instantly.
And compared to Her Majesty, Chu Feng's eyes burned with even greater excitement and agitation.
This was no ordinary gemstone. It radiated an incredibly dense power.
That power was Origin.
This was an Origin Gemstone.
"It seems I chose correctly."
Chu Feng was ecstatic.
His reason for choosing this Spirit World Gate had been simple — he wanted to find something that could advance Her Majesty's cultivation.
Chu Feng knew Her Majesty's character well. She was, in truth, a supremely proud person who pursued power with fanatical devotion.
But due to special circumstances, her cultivation had been advancing very slowly — to the point where she had long fallen far behind Chu Feng.
Although Her Majesty had never let this trouble her, Chu Feng felt deeply guilty.
Looking back on their journey, without Her Majesty, without Egg's help, Chu Feng could never have achieved what he had today.
In fact, he might not even have lived to see this day.
So what he wanted most right now was to repay Her Majesty, to help Her Majesty.
And now, his wish had finally come true. He knew deep down that this Origin Gemstone could help Her Majesty advance her cultivation.
Hum—
But just as Chu Feng was about to approach the Origin Gemstone, a blinding light suddenly flashed from the other side of the platform.
The light flared and vanished, and when it dissipated, a figure had appeared there.
"You've got to be kidding me…"
At that moment, Chu Feng's heart tightened.
He had heard that girl Li Ming say that once the gates of the Sacred Hall opened, you would basically never leave empty-handed.
But there was one exception — if, at the moment you entered, another person entered at the same time, and both of you chose the same treasure.
But the odds of that happening were extraordinarily slim.
Yet clearly, right now, this nearly impossible event had befallen Chu Feng.
"Damn it, no way — this unlucky? Something like this actually happened to me?"
The newcomer spoke with a look of clear displeasure, having obviously noticed Chu Feng as well.
And now, Chu Feng began sizing up the person before him — after all, this individual was his rival.
The person was a young man who appeared roughly the same age as Chu Feng.
He was strikingly handsome — not the delicate, pretty-boy kind of handsome, but a rugged, masculine handsomeness.
Setting everything else aside, his looks alone were enough to make countless women throw themselves at him.
As for his attire, it was equally lavish — it was clear that not only his robes but every single item on his person was extraordinarily precious.
