"If that main formation is so powerful, then why doesn't the Linghu Heavenly Clan simply shut down this entrance? Why go through the trouble of using other formations to seal it off?" Chu Feng asked again.
"I…" Puyang Han still couldn't provide an answer, and his expression grew even more unsightly. A wave of invisible pressure was reflected across his face.
"If that main formation is truly so powerful, then why doesn't the Linghu Heavenly Clan just summon out all the cultivation resources within the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World? Why would they need to struggle in here searching for cultivation opportunities, just like the rest of us?" Chu Feng continued.
"…"
Puyang Han's face was not only grim — he was drenched in cold sweat, because he could find no words of explanation, let alone any rebuttal against Chu Feng's logic.
At that moment, everyone nodded in agreement, acknowledging that Chu Feng made perfect sense.
"You don't know the reason? Then I, Chu Feng, will tell you."
"The Linghu Heavenly Clan may control the main formation, but that does not mean they control the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World."
"If you don't trust me, Chu Feng, you're free not to come with me." As Chu Feng spoke, he suddenly pointed at the formation he had set up, then swept his arm upward.
Swish— A beam of golden light shot into the sky. That golden compass darted swiftly toward the entrance of the Sacred Spirit Light Formation.
At first, the golden compass showed no abnormalities — it remained just as tiny as before.
So minuscule, it shot into the massive Sacred Spirit Light Formation like a lone leaf falling into a vast ocean, appearing utterly insignificant. No one believed it could gain even the slightest advantage against that sprawling web of sealing lightning.
"Formation, open!!!"
But at that very moment, Chu Feng bellowed.
After his shout, not only did golden radiance identical to that of the golden compass emanate from his body — the onlookers' eyes went wide.
Because at Chu Feng's command, the golden compass — which had seemed so pitifully small — instantly expanded.
In the blink of an eye, it had sealed off the entire entrance.
The golden compass was semi-transparent.
So everyone could clearly see that after pushing inward for only a short distance, it immediately came under attack from the sealing lightning.
Yet the golden compass, which appeared so fragile, was practically indestructible. Though ten thousand bolts of lightning rained upon it in a frenzied assault, it did not budge an inch, steadily pushing forward all the while.
Under these circumstances, the ten thousand bolts of lightning were forced to retreat, one after another, before Chu Feng's advance.
Everyone stared in disbelief. They had never imagined that this formation — which had looked so inadequate — could actually withstand the Linghu Heavenly Clan's sealing lightning.
In truth, it was not just within the Pioneers Formation that people were stunned. Even in the plaza outside the Pioneers Formation, no one could remain calm.
"I'll say it once more: those who trust me, Chu Feng, follow me. I will lead you into the Sacred Spirit Light Formation."
With that, Chu Feng soared into the sky and followed the golden compass, plunging into the entrance of the Sacred Spirit Light Formation.
After dashing inside, Chu Feng raised his hand and braced the golden compass.
In that instant, man and formation became one, and golden light illuminated all directions.
The speed at which the golden compass advanced grew faster and faster.
Swish, swish, swish—
