After Chu Feng departed, the contract formation shifted once more. Not only did concealment powers manifest, but isolating forces also emerged, completely hiding the entire sealing formation.
Egg Egg and the others could no longer see what was happening outside.
"Bastard, bastard, bastard, damn Chu Feng!!!"
Egg Egg was furious, but more than that, worry and unease filled her eyes.
She cursed Chu Feng even as she circled the cage carefully, searching for a way out.
But the more she searched, the more desperate she became.
This sealing formation was utterly inescapable.
...
Chu Feng returned to the location of the teleportation formation. Since this world was also within the Divine Body Milky Way, teleportation wouldn't take too long.
But Chu Feng didn't immediately step onto the path to the Jinchuan Upper Realm. Instead, he took out a compass.
This compass was rather unusual—it looked more like a map.
Activating his technique, the compass transformed. Nine great milky ways appeared upon its surface. Soon the others faded, leaving only the Divine Body Milky Way.
A faint glimmer appeared over the Pingyuan Upper Realm within the Divine Body Milky Way.
"A cunning rabbit has three burrows?"
Chu Feng wasn't entirely certain, but ultimately he chose to head toward the teleportation tunnel leading to the Pingyuan Upper Realm.
"Little one, how did you lock onto them?"
"Oh, this King knows—it's that pendant you gave the little girl, isn't it?"
At that moment, the Shura Sword's voice rang out.
It was well-informed and quickly realized the pendant Chu Feng had given to Little Fish contained a hidden formation capable of tracking her position.
Chu Feng immediately projected his consciousness into the Spirit Realm space.
"Will you help me?"
Chu Feng looked at the Shura Sword and asked.
But unlike before, he wasn't particularly hopeful. His expression was calm—he held no real expectations.
"This King won't get involved in your pathetic affairs. Even if you die, this King will remain completely unharmed."
"You'd best not pin your hopes on this King protecting your life for self-preservation," the Shura Sword said.
Hearing this, Chu Feng said nothing more. He simply projected his consciousness back into his physical body.
He activated the treasure, sparing no effort, heading toward the Pingyuan Upper Realm at maximum speed.
Although the distance to the Pingyuan Upper Realm wasn't that great, he had spent considerable time setting up the formation that trapped Egg Egg and the others, and he feared that the delay might lead to trouble.
"So you have absolutely no certainty at all, little one? You're just going over there to throw your life away?"
The Shura Sword's voice sounded once more.
Previously unwilling to speak, it seemed—whether because the absence of the Spirit Realm being within Chu Feng's body left it lonely, or for some other reason—it had become more talkative today.
"I've just stepped into the True God Realm. Facing a clan whose true strength is unknown but can easily defeat Third-rank Heavenly Gods—what certainty could I possibly have?" Chu Feng said.
"None, and yet you still go? Are you dead set on throwing your life away?" the Shura Sword asked.
Chu Feng didn't answer. He wasn't stupid—he knew this journey was extraordinarily dangerous. It was precisely because he knew that he had locked up Egg Egg and the others.
There was no other choice. He had to save Little Fish.
"Fine. You've got some courage, little one. This King is starting to appreciate you a bit."
"This was something you obtained by your own merit. Take it back."
As the Shura Sword spoke these words, a bead floated out from within it.
Chu Feng focused his will, and a small spatial gate immediately materialized before him. The bead drifted through it.
This was the very bead obtained from the Primordial Killing Sea.
