After some time traveling, Chu Feng brought Wang Qiang to a cave within the Golden Dragon Mountain Range.
This cave served as the entrance to the secret realm.
"Wh-wh-why is it... is it sealed shut?"
Upon seeing the cave, Wang Qiang wore a look of confusion.
The cave was not very deep. Once they reached the entrance, he could see the end of the cave at a single glance.
Chu Feng, however, formed a peculiar hand seal and smiled at Wang Qiang.
"Follow my lead and do as I do."
With that, Chu Feng and Wang Qiang both formed the hand seal and walked in and out of the cave three times at a quick pace, then three times at a slow pace, and finally three times alternating between fast and slow. After that, they released the seal and walked inward once more.
This time, the cave changed, becoming far deeper.
When they emerged from the other side, the ancient secret realm materialized before their eyes.
"How amazing." Wang Qiang's eyes went wide.
Even though he had witnessed many wondrous techniques, the method of entering this secret realm still left him astonished.
"Bro-bro-brother, the owner of this place must be someone extraordinary, right?"
Wang Qiang's first thought was that the creator of this place had to be incredibly powerful — most likely a formidable figure from ancient times.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to create such a secret realm.
"That, I wouldn't know."
Chu Feng smiled without telling the truth.
In reality, he knew that a mysterious woman resided here.
That mysterious woman had left an extremely deep impression on Chu Feng.
She carried an air of refined elegance, and even though Chu Feng had met countless so-called holy maidens from various powers— In terms of temperament alone, almost none could compare to that woman.
What was more, she possessed vast knowledge, her reserves of learning extraordinary.
And her background was even more impressive.
According to what she had said, her Master even knew Qin Jiu and was on extremely close terms with him.
That woman had also helped Chu Feng undergo a test, confirming that he possessed the Bloodline of a King.
However, that mysterious woman had subsequently attempted to use her methods to erase Chu Feng's memories.
Although she had failed and Chu Feng had retained his memories, the woman clearly did not wish to have her identity exposed.
Now that he had returned to the woman's territory— Even if Wang Qiang asked, Chu Feng could not tell the truth. Who knew whether the woman might come and try to erase his memories again?
"Hm?"
But soon, Chu Feng and Wang Qiang both turned their heads at the same time.
They discovered that the barrier behind them had changed.
Upon careful observation, both of them furrowed their brows.
That barrier was a sealing formation — and it had sealed them inside as well.
"What's going on?" Wang Qiang looked to Chu Feng.
"We're trapped," Chu Feng said.
"Wasn't it l-l-like this before?" Wang Qiang asked.
"It wasn't before," Chu Feng replied.
He had already determined that someone had altered this place. Now it allowed entry but no exit.
This change naturally left Chu Feng somewhat worried about Song Yuwei and the others.
He immediately ventured deeper, and fortunately he soon found Lord Yuwei, the old monk Yiku, and Yue Ling. All of them were safe and unharmed.
"Young Master Chu Feng, you've returned."
Upon seeing Chu Feng, the three of them were equally thrilled and hurried over to greet him.
Song Yuwei in particular was beaming from ear to ear, and the tears of joy glistening in her eyes made it clear just how worried she had been about Chu Feng.
