The formation was not weak, but Chu Feng could use the teleportation talisman given to him by the president of the Warriors' Commerce to escape.
If given enough time, Chu Feng, relying on the initial-stage secret manual, would also have a chance to break it.
But Chu Feng had no intention of breaking it directly. Instead, he looked up toward the depths of the jungle: "Senior, this junior bears no ill will. I came here following the guidance of divination bamboo slips."
"The divination bamboo slips were gifted to me by Senior Jiang Jingyu. As for why I seek you, Senior, I wish to learn about certain matters."
Chu Feng's tone was humble and courteous, but unfortunately, he received no response.
Left with no choice, Chu Feng could only break the formation himself.
Chu Feng didn't want to waste the talisman paper, so he used the initial-stage secret manual to break the formation. However, being trapped meant he had to set up the formation within his own body, which greatly increased the difficulty.
Most importantly, this formation was powerful — it was most likely laid down by Daoist Zhaixing himself.
Because from Chu Feng's observation, this was the work of a Spirit World Master at the pinnacle of the True Dragon realm. Chu Feng's own power was already limited, and on top of that, he had to break a barrier technique at the pinnacle of the True Dragon realm.
This difficulty could be described as impossible.
However, Chu Feng was not only calm but rather excited.
Wasn't this the perfect opportunity to test the capabilities of the initial-stage secret manual?
Even if this wasn't combat power, just formation-breaking, if a cultivator at the pinnacle of the God Cloak could actually break a formation at the pinnacle of the True Dragon realm, that would absolutely shatter all conventional understanding.
But the continuously passing time did indeed prove one thing.
Breaking a formation at the pinnacle of the True Dragon realm was truly not easy.
Yet soon after, a dazzling radiance shot from Chu Feng's body like a sharp blade, spinning outward.
The formation that had been binding Chu Feng collapsed along with it.
At this moment, Chu Feng couldn't help but reveal an excited smile.
Although it had indeed taken several days to accomplish, he had succeeded.
Using the realm of the pinnacle of the God Cloak, he had broken a formation at the pinnacle of the True Dragon realm.
"The initial-stage secret manual is already like this — if there truly exists a mid-stage secret manual, or even higher-level secret manuals, what would that be like?"
"The end of the cultivation path still seems incredibly distant."
Chu Feng sighed and headed deeper into the jungle.
But he soon discovered that not only could one not fly through the air here, but this jungle was also a maze.
Such a maze naturally couldn't stump Chu Feng.
Chu Feng quickly found the correct path and ultimately discovered a wooden palace deep within the jungle.
The palace gates were wide open, but Chu Feng did not enter. Instead, he approached the front and bowed respectfully.
"Senior, this junior is Chu Feng, son of Jie Ranqing. Might the Senior grant me an audience?"
Even though he invoked his mother's name, there was still no response.
So Chu Feng walked in.
Upon stepping inside, he found that the palace had its own wonders — the interior was much larger than it appeared from the outside.
Moreover, although there were no obvious formations inside, it seemed to be constructed from special treasures that had the effect of blocking Mental Power.
Chu Feng couldn't use his perception ability, so he could only call out while searching.
As he walked, he caught a whiff of an indescribable scent — it seemed to be cultivation resources.
Chu Feng followed the scent, passed through a doorway, and discovered a large rear garden.
The garden floor was covered by a sea of flowers.
In the very center was a lake.
The lake was shrouded in thick mist, and together with the sea of flowers, it made the place look like a painting.
And that scent was emanating from the pond.
However, this place was so beautiful and exquisite that it didn't seem like a place where an old person would stay.
Especially when Chu Feng noticed a bamboo rack by the lakeside with several dresses laid out on it, his heart skipped a beat.
"There's something off about this place, isn't there?"
Chu Feng furrowed his brow, because no matter how he looked at it, this place seemed like a spot where a young girl would take a bath.
This was exactly the kind of trouble Chu Feng had run into before.
What if there really was a girl inside? Wouldn't he be misunderstood again?
The thing was, Chu Feng had grown up.
That mentality of "if there's an advantage to be gained, you'd be a fool not to take it" still lingered, but he no longer seized every opportunity that presented itself.
Thinking this, he turned around and walked back out.
But the moment he stepped out, a powerful barrier force descended from the sky, directly binding Chu Feng in place.
