"They definitely hate your guts, Chu Feng. They'll never let you go," Egg Egg said.
"Of course they won't. Why else would they hide so many tracking talismans inside my Universe Bag?" Chu Feng said.
Those tracking talismans, though concealed and embedded within his cultivation resources, were naturally unable to escape his observation.
After that, Chu Feng continued to linger around the ninety-eighth floor.
The people outside were still watching him closely, all of them eager to see what else he intended to do.
But then Chu Feng suddenly formed a hand seal and vanished.
"Where did he go?"
This immediately sent a wave of unease through the Huangfu Heavenly Clan members stationed outside the Ancient Bloodline Tower.
In fact, quite a few of the Huangfu Heavenly Clan members had already surrounded Jie Shanxian, setting up posts around her to block off every possible escape route. After all, they had long known that Jie Shanxian was in cahoots with Chu Feng — not only would Chu Feng not be allowed to leave, but neither would she.
"It seems the Huangfu Heavenly Clan isn't going to let you two leave easily," the Seven Realms Sacred Temple's Temple Master quietly said to Jie Shanxian, having noticed the situation.
"I'm afraid they won't be able to stop us," Jie Shanxian replied.
"Where do you think that young friend went?" the Seven Realms Sacred Temple's Temple Master asked.
"I don't know," Jie Shanxian answered.
Seeing that Jie Shanxian had no interest in discussing the matter further, the Seven Realms Sacred Temple's Temple Master dropped the subject.
But he directed his gaze toward the very top floor of the Ancient Bloodline Tower.
He figured that since Chu Feng already knew the hidden locations of those formations and knew how to conquer them, he must also know even more secrets within the Ancient Bloodline Tower.
Perhaps the true secret was hidden on the very top floor.
Then again, perhaps not.
Because on the ninety-ninth floor, there was also a spot that those outside could not see into.
"Have you discovered how to enter the ninety-ninth floor?" Huangfu Zhantian quietly asked a Huangfu Heavenly Clan elder.
He was thinking the same thing as the Seven Realms Sacred Temple's Temple Master — that Chu Feng had either entered the topmost floor or the ninety-ninth floor, that unseen area.
The problem was that although the Huangfu Heavenly Clan had entered the Ancient Bloodline Tower many times before, they had never figured out how to access the ninety-ninth floor.
This time was different from the past. They actually had a chance to find the method of entry.
That was precisely why, even though they had realized that the formations Chu Feng discovered were extremely important and required a massive number of Heaven-level bloodline users to temper with their bloodlines, they hadn't gathered all of the Huangfu Heavenly Clan members in front of those formations. Instead, they had kept a portion of them exploring the tower.
"We still haven't found the method to enter the ninety-ninth floor."
However, the intelligence the elder reported left Huangfu Zhantian thoroughly exasperated.
"Useless," Huangfu Zhantian could only curse inwardly.
But curse though he might, even if he entered himself, he had no confidence that he would be able to find the way into the ninety-ninth floor.
...
As for Chu Feng, he had entered a barrier tunnel.
The barrier tunnel was very short. Chu Feng had barely stepped inside before he emerged on the other side.
But once he came out, what appeared before his eyes was a magnificent palace.
And this truly was the ninety-ninth floor — that spot invisible to the outside world.
"Bro… bro… brother, when did you… you… finally get here?"
The moment Chu Feng stepped inside, a familiar voice sounded from behind him.
He didn't even need to look to know it was Wang Qiang.
"I had a bunch of Huangfu Heavenly Clan idiots doing all the heavy lifting for me," Chu Feng said.
"If there's such a good… good deal, shouldn't you tell me all… all about it?" Wang Qiang asked, his face full of curiosity.
"In short, to obtain the power here, you need an enormous amount of bloodline force."
"But it's different from awakening the Ancient Bloodline Tower."
"Awakening the Ancient Bloodline Tower requires quality."
"What the Huangfu Heavenly Clan members are doing right now requires quantity."
"If I tried to do it myself, I honestly wouldn't be able to handle it anytime soon. Since they've got the numbers, I figured I'd just let them help me with it," Chu Feng said.
"W-w-were they actually willing to help you?" Wang Qiang asked.
"As if they'd help me?"
