Chu Feng stood before the barrier gate, turning his head to the side.
"Gentlemen, the dangers of this God's Era are something you all understand, so I won't waste my breath on warnings."
"This barrier gate before us isn't a random teleportation. As long as you move forward normally, you'll inevitably run into the Ancient Race who bullied you. If anyone wants revenge, follow me."
With that, Chu Feng stepped through the barrier gate.
Qin Xuan and Yuwen Yanri followed close behind.
There were not a few geniuses gathered here, but not too many either — just over a thousand.
Yet not a single one held back. They all followed.
After passing through the barrier gate, Chu Feng and the others entered a stretch of jungle.
This jungle did not allow flight, the range of one's senses was somewhat restricted as well, and there was no path to speak of.
"With no guidance at all, which direction should we go?" Many were bewildered.
A few clever ones looked toward Chu Feng. "Young hero Chu Feng, this is a labyrinth, isn't it?"
"It is." Chu Feng nodded.
"Then how do we get through?" the crowd asked one after another.
Right now, Chu Feng was their pillar of support.
Chu Feng did not answer, because he had recognized this jungle as a labyrinth the moment they arrived, and he had been observing it from the very start.
But he had yet to find the method to break through.
This told Chu Feng that the difficulty of solving this labyrinth was extremely high.
But just then, the once-bright sky suddenly shifted into deep night.
The world did not, however, fall into total darkness.
The sky above was filled with stars.
Every star was enormous, as though they were very close, and abnormally bright.
It was as though the heavens were hung with moons of varying sizes.
The sight was truly magnificent.
"Is this an omen?"
The crowd's first reaction was to assume it was some sort of heavenly phenomenon, since this was no ordinary night sky.
But when Chu Feng saw this, he let out a sigh of relief. "It's the method to break the labyrinth."
Hearing this, the crowd began studying the starry sky with renewed focus.
"Look carefully."
"There's a deeper layer to the breaking method within it. It should be of help later on."
Chu Feng was not the type to run his mouth. Normally, he would not have offered reminders in front so many people — he would have only alerted those close to him.
But these were not normal times.
Since he had decided to stand up for the current generation of cultivators, then at the very least, in this moment, he and these people were on the same side.
Naturally, Chu Feng made no attempt to conceal what he had observed.
Seeing Chu Feng say this, the crowd observed even more carefully.
But for most of them, they couldn't even perceive the method to solve the labyrinth, let alone whatever deeper technique lay beyond.
The star-filled night sky was extremely brief.
Before long, it dispersed, replaced once more by the daylight that had come before.
"Gentlemen, follow me."
As Chu Feng spoke, he swept his wide sleeve, and a concealed formation enveloped everyone present. At the same time, they would all move along with him.
Chu Feng had no intention of searching through this jungle.
Because strictly speaking, once they had reached this point, they were no longer at the entrance to the God's Era.
Even if the instructions he had received before were true and an item capable of opening something truly existed, that item would certainly not be here.
As for why he was concealing them, it was simply as a precaution.
Following the guidance they had obtained, they pressed forward quickly.
It did not take long before they discovered a plaza up ahead.
The plaza was not particularly large, but its structure was quite similar to the great hall they had encountered before.
At the far end of the plaza stood two barrier gates — one leading deeper in, and one leading out.
Around the perimeter of the plaza stood a total of eighteen stone pillars, each sealed by a layer of barrier power.
Floating above each stone pillar was a blank token.
Nearly two hundred people had gathered on the plaza, among them all those who had been conjured by the others' barrier powers to attack them before — including those three who wore red conical hats and red robes.
Without exception, every last one of them was trying to break through the barriers sealing the stone pillars.
The gate leading deeper in was currently closed.
Based on their previous experience, to open that barrier gate, all the barriers sealing the stone pillars had to be broken.
"Now why is this so hard?"
One of the slightly chubby red-robed figures began to complain.
