"What about the fortune power? How much did you gain?"
"I can't sense any," Liu Kuo asked again.
"There was not the slightest fortune power to be gained between Baili Zilin and myself."
"Unless someone manages to challenge successfully afterward," Chu Feng said.
"How can that be?"
"Doesn't that mean you went through all that trouble, yet your gains are even less than the others?"
"This… this is just too unreasonable." Liu Kuo felt both helpless and indignant.
Chu Feng had stirred up such an enormous commotion, yet gained nothing — he had taken a massive loss.
"I've never entered the Fortune Sacred Realm during its previous openings, so I don't know how it was in the past."
"But I can't help feeling that the Fortune Sacred Realm has changed somehow. It may be related to the person behind Baili Zilin."
"Let's wait and see. If my guess is correct, then this time, most people will find it very difficult to gain anything."
"Even if they do, their gains will likely be far less than those from the previous openings," Chu Feng said.
Liu Kuo was a clever monk. He understood what Chu Feng meant and couldn't help but sigh: "Then doesn't that mean the Fortune Sacred Realm is now all show and no substance? Just an empty shell?"
"You can't put it quite like that."
"I feel that even though the people from the Prison Sect have seized control of the Fortune Sacred Realm's power and already reaped its benefits, they haven't fully mastered it."
"Otherwise, there would be no reason to do all this."
"If it were a deliberate trap to lure me in, I wouldn't have been able to leave unscathed," Chu Feng said.
"Brother Chu Feng, you mean that most of the benefits have already been taken by the Prison Sect."
"But there is still one particularly important treasure left in the Fortune Sacred Realm — the power that even Jie Tianran failed to challenge successfully and could not obtain."
"The people from the Prison Sect want that power, so they can only follow the rules and challenge."
"Happily, Baili Zilin's barrier bloodline is extremely strong, so they sent Baili Zilin to take on the challenge."
"The goal is to obtain the strongest power the Fortune Sacred Realm has to offer."
"Is that really the case?" Liu Kuo asked.
"That's my guess," Chu Feng said.
Rumble rumble rumble— And just at that moment, a blinding radiance burst forth from the direction of the Fortune Sacred Realm.
Looking carefully, the light originated from a colossal sphere of brilliance.
The sphere was enormous, far larger than many ordinary Upper Realms.
More importantly, this sphere had not existed before — it was an object that had coalesced from the light the Fortune Sacred Realm released.
At first, the radiance was as dazzling as the sun, but gradually it faded.
What was finally revealed was a world.
Though this world was vast, it was different from a normal world.
At a single glance, one could tell it was a world born of an array.
This spectacle left the onlookers awestruck. Even the elders gasped, looking as though they had just witnessed something truly eye-opening.
For array worlds came in many varieties.
Most array worlds were simply a pocket of space, with only a single entrance in reality.
To place an array world directly within the real world and have it merge seamlessly — that was extraordinarily difficult.
And yet this world was not only sitting right in reality, but it was massive beyond measure.
It truly surpassed imagination.
In the current cultivation world, let alone in the present era — no one had ever been capable of such a thing, not even in the earliest ages.
It was ample proof of just how formidable the true master of the Fortune Sacred Realm had been.
Calling that person a god would not be an exaggeration.
With nothing more than the art of barriers, they possessed the true ability to create worlds.
Right now, that enormous array world was sealed behind a barrier, completely impossible to enter.
However, the rune patterns inscribed on the barrier were not complicated.
It was quickly determined that the sealing barrier would gradually lift as time passed.
That time was two months away.
Hummmm— And at that very moment, a pillar of light shot up from within the array world, soaring toward the heavens.
The pillar was like a luminous sword that pierced through the starry sky. So wide was its reach that if it swept outward, it could cleave through a multitude of worlds.
