Seeing this, the Patriarch of the Three Sacred Demon Clan and the others followed closely behind and stepped through the barrier gate.
What they saw upon passing through the gate was a peculiar space.
The surroundings were white, the ground beneath their feet was white, the void was white — everything was white.
They could not even tell whether they were treading through empty air or walking on solid ground.
The only thing that appeared normal was the barrier gate through which they had entered.
Chu Feng had already walked some distance ahead, carefully observing his surroundings.
The Patriarch of the Three Sacred Demon Clan stepped forward and asked, "Chu Feng, why did you say what you said earlier?"
"Senior Patriarch, the barrier that covered the gate just now revealed some information on its surface."
"Based on what was written there..."
"This place is not the original home of the Three Sacred Demon Clan. This… was originally a trial ground that the Three Sacred Demon Clan prepared for their descendants."
"That is why there is the power of the Sacred Mountain, along with the other rewards and punishments."
This was the reason Chu Feng had spent ten hours observing.
Chu Feng had grasped the method to break the formation from the very beginning. He had continued observing afterward because he discovered that the barrier itself contained additional information.
Chu Feng paused at this point and did not continue, instead watching the Patriarch's reaction.
"Go on," the Patriarch said.
He did not deny it. From this, Chu Feng could tell that the Patriarch already knew the origin of this place.
He knew that this was a trial ground of the Three Sacred Demon Clan.
However, San Sheng Qiu Tian and San Sheng Xing Yu both looked somewhat dazed — clearly, they had not known about this before.
"The most powerful formation energy is within the Sacred Temple."
"It is a special inheritance left by the ancestors of the Three Sacred Demon Clan for their descendants."
"Inheritance? What kind of inheritance?" San Sheng Qiu Tian's eyes lit up immediately.
"I'm not exactly sure of the details," Chu Feng said.
San Sheng Qiu Tian looked toward his father.
"All I knew before was that if the final layer of the formation were broken, one would obtain power beyond imagination."
"It might allow our Three Sacred Demon Clan to undergo a transformation, but I truly didn't know it was an inheritance."
The Patriarch turned to Chu Feng at this point. "Chu Feng, continue."
"As long as the last two formations are broken, the special inheritance within the Sacred Temple will be bestowed upon the Three Sacred Demon Clan."
"The formation that my father entered back then has already closed, and I cannot enter it now."
"But if he truly failed, then even if I break the second formation, the Three Sacred Demon Clan will not receive that inheritance," Chu Feng said.
Hearing this, Zi Ling's eyes brightened, and she couldn't help but say, "So what you're saying is, once Brother Chu Feng breaks this second formation and the Three Sacred Demon Clan receives the inheritance, it will prove that my Master successfully broke the formation back then, and the loss of the sacred artifact had nothing to do with Master."
"At the very least, it will prove that my father did not fail in breaking the formation," Chu Feng said.
"That's wonderful!" San Sheng Qiu Tian's face was filled with wild joy. Seeing his reaction warmed Chu Feng's heart.
San Sheng Qiu Tian also wanted to clear Chu Xuanyuan's name.
"From what we know, the loss of the sacred artifact is connected to the failure in breaking the formation."
"If it can truly be proven that Chu Xuanyuan succeeded in breaking the formation, then the loss of the sacred artifact must have had other causes, and may not have been related to him."
"I, as the Patriarch of the Three Sacred Demon Clan, can clear your father's name."
"But how can you prove that what you say is true?" the Patriarch asked Chu Feng.
"This is the final formation. Once it is broken, what I read from the barrier will be visible to everyone."
"The truth will naturally come to light," Chu Feng said.
"Good, then let us wait and see."
"But for now, which way should we go?" the Patriarch asked.
"Father, why do you keep asking Chu Feng about everything?" San Sheng Qiu Tian asked.
"Isn't young friend Chu Feng skilled in the art of barriers?" the Patriarch said.
