According to Long Chengyu, after the trial at the Nine Heavens Peak had begun, he, Xian Miaomiao, and Qin Xuan had been teleported to the same location.
The three of them were forced to join hands. Not only did they successfully pass the trial, but along the way afterward, they encountered Huangfu Fanni.
As for what came next, they ended up fighting Huangfu Fanni, which was how they met Chu Feng.
Before forming their alliance, Long Chengyu had already questioned Qin Xuan about the matter of the Cangxiong Immortal Sect conspiring with the Dragon Scale to attack the Totem Dragon Clan.
Regarding this, Qin Xuan said he had no knowledge of it and even asked Long Chengyu whether he had investigated thoroughly. His Cangxiong Immortal Sect would never do such a thing.
Moreover, in Long Chengyu's eyes, Qin Xuan did not seem to be lying — he truly did not appear to be in the know.
So Long Chengyu believed that Qin Xuan had not been involved in the matter of the Cangxiong Immortal Sect attacking his Totem Dragon Clan. After all, as a junior, it would have been very difficult for him to participate in something of that magnitude.
Although they stood on different sides and would most likely clash in the future, Long Chengyu felt that one matter should be kept separate from another. At the very least, for now, he could still travel alongside Qin Xuan.
In fact, setting aside the grudges between their respective factions, after spending time together, Long Chengyu found that Qin Xuan was actually quite to his liking.
Once the decision was made, Chu Feng had Grandmaster Jiudian prepare an enclosed space specifically for them.
He then called over Wang Qiang, Long Chengyu, Long Muxi, Xianhai Shaoyu, Xiaoyuer, Xian Miaomiao, Feng Ling, Qin Xuan, Yuwen Yanri, and the others.
Of course, Ling Xiao and Jie Baobao were invited over by Chu Feng as well.
After all, in Chu Feng's view, anyone who had lent a hand inside the Ancient Palace deserved a share.
So not only Ling Xiao and Jie Baobao — even the two juniors from the Divine Body Heavenly Palace who had appeared in the Ancient Palace alongside Yuwen Yanri, Chu Feng invited them over too.
Truthfully, those two were relatively weak. They were not among the top geniuses of the Divine Body Heavenly Palace, and they had probably only been able to enter the Ancient Palace thanks to Yuwen Yanri's help. But since they had been present and had assisted in breaking the formation at the time, Chu Feng felt they should be brought along.
Now, all the young geniuses stood together, and every pair of eyes was fixed on Chu Feng.
It very much had the air of everyone awaiting Chu Feng's instructions.
Earlier, they had watched as the others were teleported away one by one while they alone remained. They had realized that something more was probably waiting for them.
"Everyone, you all contributed to breaking the formations inside the Ancient Palace."
"I, Chu Feng, was only able to get in because of your help."
"I said it back then — whatever we gain, we share together."
"Inside, I didn't directly obtain any treasures, but I did gain an opportunity."
"Now, I'm planning to go to that place."
"I can't say for certain what's really in there."
"But based on the clues I obtained, the benefits within might be one of the rare opportunities of our lives — something that could be of great help to our future cultivation."
The moment Chu Feng said this, curiosity lit up in everyone's eyes.
"Chu Feng, do you have any idea what it roughly is?" Qin Xuan asked.
Chu Feng shook his head, but said, "There will definitely be gains. I suggest we all go together."
