"Ahh—"
Suddenly, Honghun Sanzhang let out a long sigh.
"Brother Sanzhang, you've already made your decision, so why the distress?" The other two looked at him, confused.
"We may have left, but the Young Masters are still here."
"With the Young Masters' temperaments, I'm worried they'll run into Chu Feng," Honghun Sanzhang said.
"The Young Masters' cultivation far surpasses what that Chu Feng can handle. Surely there's no need to worry?" one of them said.
"That blank token is useless for now, but it will certainly prove useful later. My guess is that the blank token is meant to collect something."
"Think about it — what could one collect in a place like this? My guess is power."
"A place like this is always about testing talent and aptitude, not one's current cultivation."
"If it were simply about comparing cultivation, there would be no need for all this trouble, and there would be no reason to specially designate a separate entrance for the younger generation."
"They could just put the rewards out in the open and let everyone fight over them — whoever has the highest cultivation takes it."
"But with so many legacies left behind, have you ever heard of any relic site that operates like that?" Honghun Sanzhang countered.
"So what you're saying is, within the younger generation's entrance, Chu Feng will be an extremely dangerous presence."
"If the Young Masters provoke Chu Feng, even with a cultivation advantage, the unique nature of this relic could put them at a disadvantage?" one of them said.
The other immediately chimed in: "Not just could — I think Brother Sanzhang's analysis is spot-on."
"Now what do we do?" Both of them were growing worried.
"Ahh, everyone has their own fate. Let's hope the Young Masters don't run into Chu Feng. And if they do, at least they'll know to keep their heads down."
Honghun Sanzhang sighed.
…
Meanwhile, after observing their surroundings, Chu Feng and the others discovered that the spatial world they were currently in was enormous.
And the landscape of this world bore a striking resemblance to an ordinary world.
An outsider might have thought they were standing in a real, physical realm.
Chu Feng had carefully examined the area but could find no sense of direction. The barrier gate through which they had entered had already closed, making it impossible to go back.
Unless another phenomenon appeared to guide them, Chu Feng had no idea what to do.
For the moment, he had no clue where to go.
Hum— Just then, a barrier gate suddenly appeared on the distant horizon. Over a dozen figures stepped through it.
They were younger generation members of the Seven Realms Holy Palace.
However, among them, neither Ling Xiao, Jie Baobao, nor Jie Tian could be spotted.
After they exited, the barrier gate closed behind them, and they too began carefully surveying the area.
Before long, another barrier gate materialized in the distance, and more younger generation cultivators stepped through.
"It seems this place is a gathering ground."
"Anyone who successfully passes the previous trial can enter here."
After his analysis, Qin Xuan looked toward Chu Feng.
"Brother Chu Feng, do you think my reasoning holds water?"
"It does. Keep analyzing," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Alright." Qin Xuan didn't decline — in fact, he looked rather pleased with himself as he continued. "Everyone who made it here is no ordinary cultivator."
"My guess is this place is anything but ordinary. It's going to weed out a great many people. Either the competition here will determine the winners and losers outright, or only those who emerge victorious will be allowed to advance deeper."
"In short, the end is near."
Having said that, Qin Xuan turned to Yuwen Yanri. "Brother Yuwen, do you think my analysis is sound?"
"That's speculation, not analysis," Yuwen Yanri said.
"Tch~" Qin Xuan looked back at Chu Feng. "Brother Chu Feng, you're the expert — what do you think of my analysis so far?"
"I think it's pretty good," Chu Feng said.
Hearing Chu Feng's praise, Qin Xuan grew quite smug. He couldn't help but glance at Yuwen Yanri.
"See? Even Brother Chu Feng acknowledges me. I, Qin Xuan, have traveled far and wide and explored quite a few relics. I have experience — this isn't some wild guess."
"Then perhaps Brother Qin Xuan could take a look at these tokens?"
As he spoke, Chu Feng produced eighteen blank tokens and tossed them over to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan caught them and examined them carefully.
"Brother Yuwen, take a look as well."
Chu Feng then produced another eighteen blank tokens and handed them to Yuwen Yanri.
Yuwen Yanri accepted them and studied them just as carefully.
"Well? See anything?" Chu Feng asked.
