Before their departure, Master Jiudian gifted each of Chu Feng and the others a gray cloak.
These cloaks didn't possess any concealing effects, but their ability to block prying eyes was exceptional.
Moreover, the cloaks were plain and low-key in appearance.
They also possessed a special effect — wearing one made it remarkably easy to be overlooked by others, significantly reducing one's sense of presence.
With these cloaks on, even if Chu Feng and the others walked openly through a crowd, it would be extremely difficult to attract anyone's attention.
In simple terms, wearing these cloaks made one appear exceedingly low-key.
Even though Chu Feng and the others could also use concealment techniques to hide themselves entirely, they all draped the cloaks over their shoulders regardless.
At present, Master Jiudian had not shown himself.
Instead, Liu Kuo represented the Nine Heavens Peak in escorting Chu Feng and all the young juniors to a teleportation formation.
"Brother Chu Feng, gentlemen, and… ladies, until we meet again," Liu Kuo said with a grin.
"Brother Liu Kuo, thank you for looking after us during this trip," Chu Feng said.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa — Brother Chu Feng, don't say that. It makes it sound like you got special treatment or something."
"This humble monk has always been fair and impartial. I didn't help you at all — you relied entirely on your own abilities," Liu Kuo replied.
"Oh, please. Fair and impartial? I'll be the first to call that nonsense," Qin Xuan said, curling his lips.
"Benefactor Qin Xuan, you can't blame this humble monk for that. Who could have predicted you'd switch sides and come over to ours? Had I known earlier, I'd have let you sleep on the plaza for a few fewer days," Liu Kuo said.
"He d-d-doesn't exactly count as switching sides. He's just t-t-traveling with us."
"For all we know, once he leaves this place, he'll t-t-talk behind our backs and send people to hunt us down," Wang Qiang said, his wide mouth stretching into a grin.
Upon hearing Wang Qiang's words, Qin Xuan immediately panicked and waved his hands frantically. "Brother Wang Qiang, I absolutely will not."
"W-w-well, who knows?" Wang Qiang said with a wicked grin.
"I really won't," Qin Xuan said hurriedly, making his position clear.
Though he was the number one genius of the Firmament Immortal Sect, here he was among the weakest. Anyone could silence him on a whim, and there was nothing he could do about it. He didn't dare offend anyone.
Seeing how genuinely frightened Qin Xuan looked, the others couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, we should get moving. Brother Liu Kuo, until next time," Chu Feng said, cupping his fists toward Liu Kuo.
"Until next time," Liu Kuo replied, returning the gesture.
Chu Feng and the others then descended through the formation, landing on the ground below.
Looking up, they couldn't see a thing — even Chu Feng's Heavenly Eyes couldn't detect a trace of the Nine Heavens Peak.
It was as though the Nine Heavens Peak simply didn't exist in that location.
Yet Chu Feng knew full well that the Nine Heavens Peak was right there above their heads.
The Nine Heavens Peak truly was formidable.
"Everyone, let's go."
Chu Feng set off first, and the rest of the geniuses followed close behind.
These young geniuses — virtually the strongest of the current generation across the vast Martial Cultivation World — officially set out on their journey.
Their destination was a desert located somewhere in this world.
"Long Chengyu, this is your Totem Dragon Clan's territory. Do you know anything about this place?" Qin Xuan asked along the way.
"The Totem Heavenly River is enormous — how could I possibly know every world within it."
"But this area should be the Alchemy Immortal Sect's territory."
