After traveling for some time, Chu Feng opened his eyes.
They were still inside the spatial tunnel, but Chu Feng had sensed the power of a barrier.
Hidden barrier power, released from within the red-haired woman's body — it was an extraordinarily powerful barrier force, currently clashing against some external energy.
Before long, Little Fish also opened her eyes, curiously observing their surroundings.
She couldn't actually sense that barrier power, but she had noticed something was off — she just couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.
So Little Fish turned to Chu Feng with a smile and asked in a soft voice: "Big brother, have we arrived somewhere special?"
"Most likely," Chu Feng replied with a smile.
Little Fish was always so bright and radiant. Just looking at her could lift Chu Feng's spirits.
"You've noticed?"
The red-haired woman turned to look at Chu Feng and Little Fish.
At her words, the others also opened their eyes.
"Senior, are you breaking through a formation?" Chu Feng asked directly.
"I am, and it's already been undone. Now it's your turn to perform."
The red-haired woman waved her long sleeve, and the spatial tunnel ahead was severed. Chu Feng and the others, riding on a cloud, soared out of the tunnel.
What appeared before them was a vast world.
Whether it was a formation world or a real one, Chu Feng and the others had no idea where they were. But that no longer mattered — what mattered was that within their line of sight stood a palace.
Below them had been a range of towering mountains, each covering at least a million meters. The palace was of normal size, nestled among them, and should have been extremely difficult to spot. Yet Chu Feng and the others had all been drawn to it the moment they saw it.
The palace was constructed from green stone. Its design wasn't extravagant, yet it carried a sense of inviolable majesty.
At the same time, it exuded an ancient aura that predated the distant past — most likely it had existed since the Primordial Era.
No one needed to ask. This was clearly the place the red-haired woman wanted them to enter.
"This palace... it's no... no ordinary thing."
The words tumbled from Wang Qiang's mouth. But rather than fear, he was clearly excited. Places like this often signified no small amount of fortune.
"Senior, is there anything we should watch out for?" Chu Feng looked to the red-haired woman.
"Nothing in particular. Just do your best."
"Go." The moment the red-haired woman's voice fell, Chu Feng and the others were enveloped by a mysterious force.
By the time they recovered their bearings, they were no longer on the cloud — they had landed before the great doors of the palace.
As if sensing Chu Feng and the others' presence, the palace's heavy stone doors slowly swung open with a deep, rumbling sound.
Beyond the gates lay a corridor that stretched into seemingly infinite depths.
"As I expected — there's a whole world within. I knew it couldn't be as small as it looked from the outside," Wang Qiang exclaimed.
However, just as everyone's attention was fixed on the palace's interior, Chu Feng suddenly turned around, cautiously scanning their surroundings.
"What's wrong?" Xianhai Shaoyu asked.
"Senior." Chu Feng looked up toward the red-haired woman, who stood suspended in the sky.
"Is there someone else here?" Chu Feng asked her secretly.
In that brief instant, he had sensed someone watching them — but the gaze vanished in the blink of an eye. Chu Feng could only confirm that it wasn't the red-haired woman's gaze.
"Just do what you came to do. I'll make sure you remain safe."
The red-haired woman spoke these words aloud, her tone calm and confident.
Little Fish and the others looked somewhat puzzled. They all knew that Chu Feng must have exchanged words with the red-haired woman. But since he said nothing, they didn't press the matter.
Little Fish turned to Chu Feng and said, "Big brother, shall we go in?"
