After informing Chu Feng about the spatial rifts, Youyuan settled down to tend to his injuries without worry.
As for Chu Feng, he carefully observed the space ahead, afraid of missing any spatial rifts.
While the trajectory of the spatial tunnel might remain constant, the spatial rifts appeared randomly and were constantly moving.
It was possible that a spatial rift lay just ahead of Chu Feng, but by the time he approached it, the rift would have vanished.
Conversely, there might have been no spatial rift where Chu Feng had just passed, but after he moved through, a rift would appear in his wake.
It was precisely because of the unpredictability and mobility of these spatial rifts that the spatial tunnel became so terrifying.
Every spatial tunnel contained one, or even multiple, spatial rifts — yet it was their mobility that caused countless people to become trapped within these tunnels for their entire lives.
That was why Chu Feng had to observe the path ahead with unwavering focus.
However, despite Chu Feng's intense concentration, fortune had ceased to smile upon him.
Youyuan's injuries had long since healed, and time continued to slip away — Chu Feng and the others had already wandered within this spatial tunnel for several months.
The day of the Heavenly Pride Gathering was fast approaching, yet Chu Feng and his companions remained trapped within the spatial tunnel, with no end in sight.
Over these past few months, Chu Feng had grasped the opportunity to break through to Heavenly Immortal, but he had yet to attempt the breakthrough.
The reason was simple — Chu Feng feared that if he remained trapped here indefinitely, he would need to save that chance for when it truly mattered.
According to Youyuan, there existed truly powerful cultivators in the martial cultivation world who could break free from their worlds and traverse the vast expanse of the starry skies.
Such powerhouses could use their own strength to tear open a gap within the spatial tunnel, rescuing those trapped inside.
However, spatial tunnels were extraordinarily well-hidden, and even such supreme powerhouses would not be able to detect their existence.
Therefore, Chu Feng needed to preserve his opportunity for breakthrough. If he were fortunate enough to encounter one of those supreme powerhouses who roamed the vast starry skies, he could undergo his breakthrough, which would summon heavenly tribulation lightning and inevitably reveal his location.
As long as such a powerhouse found Chu Feng interesting, they would intervene to rescue him.
Of course, this was little more than a gamble. If anything, the chances of encountering such a supreme powerhouse were even slimmer than stumbling upon a spatial rift.
After all, powerhouses of that caliber were exceedingly rare across the entire martial cultivation world, making such a chance encounter anything but easy.
But Chu Feng had no other choice. He refused to remain trapped here forever. The odds might be slim, but he wanted to give it a try.
At present, Chu Feng and Youyuan were exactly as before, still within the spatial tunnel. Chu Feng sat cross-legged, appearing to be contemplating something.
Youyuan, meanwhile, stared intently ahead.
Even though so much time had passed, he still had not found a single spatial rift.
Yet his concentration had never once wavered.
