"What is this Chu Feng trying to do?"
Nightmare Annihilation's gaze turned somewhat displeased, and somewhat worried as well.
"Let him do whatever he wants. My Linghu Heavenly Clan will not allow him to set foot in the Sacred Spirit Light Formation — and if we won't allow it, he can forget about entering," Linghu Tiemian said.
Upon hearing those words, the worry that had been flickering in Nightmare Annihilation's eyes immediately vanished.
In truth, the formation Chu Feng had laid out was exactly as Nightmare Annihilation had suspected.
Chu Feng intended to use this formation to break through the Linghu Heavenly Clan's blockade.
And after considerable effort, Chu Feng had successfully completed the formation.
It was a golden disc no more than ten meters in diameter, its surface covered in inscribed runes — though at a glance, it did not look particularly powerful.
Yet once the formation was finished, Chu Feng's face was brimming with confidence.
"Listen well, Linghu Heavenly Clan. Since I, Chu Feng, was able to summon this Sacred Spirit Light Formation, I can certainly enter it," Chu Feng declared.
"Hahaha…" The moment these words left Chu Feng's lips, Linghu Tiemian burst into laughter.
"Someone go notify Xiuming. Tell Xiuming to pass along a message to that Chu Feng — if he can successfully enter the Sacred Spirit Light Formation, I will permit them to cultivate inside it," Linghu Tiemian said.
As soon as the words fell, a member of the Linghu Heavenly Clan shot into the air and sped off in the direction Linghu Xiuming had previously departed.
Before long, Linghu Xiuming's voice echoed out once more from within the Rookie Formation.
And what he said was almost identical to Linghu Tiemian's words — if they could enter the Sacred Spirit Light Formation, Chu Feng and the others would be allowed to cultivate within it.
Hearing this, the glimmer of hope reignited in the eyes of the crowd, who had been thoroughly dejected moments before.
"Young Master Chu Feng, can you… can you bring me into the Sacred Spirit Light Formation as well?"
A woman approached Chu Feng's side and asked in a careful, pleading tone.
Seeing someone speak up, the other women hurried over as well. And not just the women — the men showed longing in their eyes too.
But while everyone yearned to go, few dared to open their mouths. After all, asking for such a thing required a rather thick skin, and they had no real relationship with Chu Feng to speak of.
"As long as everyone is willing, I, Chu Feng, will bring you all into the Sacred Spirit Light Formation."
"Because the cultivation resources hidden inside originally belong to us."
Chu Feng addressed the crowd.
Whoosh— The moment he spoke, the crowd erupted into an uproar.
"Brother Chu Feng, great kindness needs no words of thanks. If you bring us in today, then from now on in the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World, I will acknowledge only you, Chu Feng. I will follow your orders — one word from you, and I would face a thousand deaths without hesitation."
"I feel the same."
"Count me in."
…
One after another, people voiced their gratitude, not only willing to follow Chu Feng into the Sacred Spirit Light Formation but pledging to follow him wholeheartedly. Every word was filled with genuine thankfulness.
Because everyone understood that breaking through such a formation actually became harder the more people there were.
Chu Feng was willing to bring them along, which undoubtedly meant taking on a heavier burden for himself.
Anyone else would have refused without a second thought. Honestly, even they themselves would have been reluctant to do the same.
Yet Chu Feng had agreed so readily, without demanding anything in return.
