Within the formation world where the Ancient Clan resided.
A massive number of martial cultivators and Spirit World Masters stood in orderly formation inside the formation eye that Zhao Gongyi and the others had previously entered.
However, the nature of the formation eye had already changed.
As for those who had arrived at the formation eye, they were naturally composed of members from the six great clans.
But those standing at the very front, while they belonged to the Ancient Clan, possessed extremely weak cultivation.
They were not divided by clan, but by cultivation level.
First-grade Venerables formed one group.
Second-grade Venerables formed another group.
In this long queue, the team with the strongest cultivation stood at the very rear.
They were at the peak of True God and the peak of Divine Robe.
Setting cultivation aside.
All of them bore special formation patterns on their bodies, and each one held a special formation bottle in hand.
The First-grade Venerables standing at the very front gripped their bottles tightly, poised to open them at any moment.
"First-grade Venerables, take the medicine and enter the formation."
At the voice of Lord Tixian, the formation eye emitted the aura of First-grade Venerables.
Tens of thousands of First-grade Venerables simultaneously opened their bottles, drained the contents in a single gulp, and the formation patterns on their bodies began to emit a faint glow.
Having done this, they stepped into the formation eye without hesitation.
Once inside, the teleportation force carried them toward that special barrier gate.
In the end, they actually succeeded in using that special barrier gate to pass through the defensive formation of the Ancestral Martial Star River.
They entered the starry sky beyond the defensive formation.
But this was only the beginning…
As the formation's power continued to increase, the limits they could breach would grow higher and higher.
Those with even stronger cultivation would pass through the Ancestral Martial Star River's defensive formation.
"They're sending people in at this level?"
Chu Feng could sense that someone had entered, but they were only First-grade Venerables.
Such cultivation posed absolutely no threat to the Ancestral Martial Star River.
So Chu Feng was puzzled.
"That's not right — they carry formation power on them. Could they have some other objective?"
But soon Chu Feng noticed that those who had entered, despite their weak cultivation, did not launch any attacks.
Instead, they formed hand seals.
After forming the seals, formation power emanated from their bodies and merged into the Ancestral Martial Star River's defensive formation.
However, that formation power was far too subtle, and Chu Feng could not determine what purpose it served.
Logically speaking, Chu Feng should have immediately opened a direct barrier gate leading to the intruders' position.
Even if he couldn't go there himself, he could send Zi Ling or someone else to eliminate those Ancient Clan members.
Regardless of whether they posed a threat, since they had entered, they had to be killed.
But unfortunately, Chu Feng had only arrived here a short time ago.
Although he had grasped the core power of the formation eye and could contend with the opposing formation power, he had not yet mastered the method for opening a direct barrier gate.
And even if he diverted his attention to learn that method now, it would take some time.
He couldn't master it immediately.
Hummm— And just then, Chu Feng sensed that a direct barrier gate had been opened in front of the intruders.
"Has the Sect Master detected them?"
Sensing this change, Chu Feng felt considerably more at ease.
Right now, the only ones who truly controlled the defensive formation were himself, through the formation eye, and the Sect Master of the Sleeping Dragon Martial Sect.
This direct barrier gate had undoubtedly been opened by the Sect Master of the Sleeping Dragon Martial Sect.
In truth, it was indeed the Sect Master of the Sleeping Dragon Martial Sect.
Her method of controlling the formation differed from Chu Feng's.
Chu Feng controlled the defensive formation through the formation eye, which was a completely unorthodox approach.
The Sect Master of the Sleeping Dragon Martial Sect, however, possessed the formation command token — she was the one who truly controlled this defensive formation in the literal sense.
But because her abilities in this area were limited, even though she truly controlled the defensive formation, the scope of her observational power was constrained.
Her primary attention was focused on whether the defensive formation was being breached.
So she knew the function of that dark pillar and had detected that intruders had successfully infiltrated.
However, she had no way to help Chu Feng simultaneously restrict that special barrier gate.
She could only watch helplessly as the intruders passed through the special barrier gate and entered.
Not long after the direct barrier gate opened, a figure flew out — it was Sacred Light White Brow.
He was responsible for intercepting the intruders.
The Sect Master of the Sleeping Dragon Martial Sect, the Sacred Master, and the others shared Chu Feng's thinking.
Even though they were only First-grade Venerables, they absolutely could not be left unchecked.
"Kill him."
Upon seeing Sacred Light White Brow, although those from the mere First-grade Venerables of the Ancient Clan had no real strength to speak of, they still commanded—
