Long Xiaoxiao stood above the starry sky, gripping the massive ancient key. She moved slowly, adjusting her position.
As she shifted, portions of the ancient key glowed with light, and the illuminated sections shifted correspondingly with each adjustment.
Finally, after Long Xiaoxiao made one last adjustment, the light spread across the entirety of the key.
A look of delight crossed Long Xiaoxiao's face. She formed hand seals, and runes materialized within the key.
Long Xiaoxiao chanted the incantation, causing the runes inside the key to pulse rapidly.
Only then did she raise the ancient key high and thrust it forward into the void. The tip of the key genuinely sank into the starry sky, as though an invisible keyhole lay hidden there.
As Long Xiaoxiao turned the key, a series of clicks echoed from before her.
Rumble— Suddenly, the starry sky shuddered violently.
Then, the light from the key expanded.
A massive silver gate, standing a thousand meters tall, materialized in the starry sky before everyone.
And the spot where Long Xiaoxiao had inserted the key was precisely the keyhole.
She pushed the gate open, and what came into view was a world of lush green mountains and clear waters.
"Why is it so small?" Egg's voice rang out, cutting straight to the heart of the matter.
Actually, it couldn't really be called small.
For an ordinary person, the world that appeared before their eyes would be one they could never traverse in their entire lifetime.
But from Chu Feng's group's perspective, they could clearly see the barrier walls at the far edges of the world.
Compared to many formation spaces that stretched out endlessly in every direction, this place did indeed seem rather small.
After all, even with Chu Feng's current strength, a formation world he spent some time constructing would be far larger than this.
But this was no ordinary formation world.
Before Long Mucheng had opened it, Chu Feng hadn't detected a single trace of this hidden space at all — testament to how extraordinary its concealment was.
Yet for a place of such unfathomable depth, this territory was indeed rather small.
"Senior, this secret realm is quite special." Chu Feng looked toward Long Mucheng, seemingly making an observation but actually probing for answers.
Long Mucheng understood Chu Feng's curiosity and said, "This place is indeed rather special, but I'm not entirely sure what it is. I only know it's where that lord stored his treasures."
"Regardless, storing treasures here is extremely safe. No matter how powerful an expert might be, without this key and knowledge of the formulae and incantation, there's simply no way to enter."
Long Mucheng pulled the ancient key from beneath the gate, brandished it with a flourish for show, and then put it away.
"Chu Feng, wait for me here."
After closing the gate, Long Mucheng led the members of the Dragon Breath Clan deeper into the world.
Chu Feng, meanwhile, was carefully studying this world, his eyes brimming with curiosity.
As a Spirit World Master, he could sense that this seemingly modest spatial world was anything but simple.
That ancient aura in particular told him this place had existed since the Primordial Era.
"This is a Primordial Storage Realm." At that moment, Long Zhuoyan's voice reached Chu Feng's ears.
He turned toward the voice. Long Zhuoyan had appeared right beside him, though she clearly hadn't been there a moment ago.
Moreover, Long Zhuoyan stood right next to Chu Feng, yet Long Xiaoxiao, who was equally close, hadn't noticed a thing.
Clearly, only Chu Feng could perceive Long Zhuoyan.
Seeing that Long Zhuoyan didn't wish to reveal herself, Chu Feng asked through a private channel: "Sis, how did you follow me here?"
"I wanted to see what your friend is capable of. And I wanted to see what the Dragon Breath Clan intends to have you decipher," Long Zhuoyan replied.
"Sis, you really are quite the curious one."
"So what's the deal with this Primordial Storage Realm? It looks like something quite extraordinary."
Though he called Long Zhuoyan curious, his own curiosity was no less significant.
"It's essentially a highly secure storage space. Fundamentally, there's no difference between it, a Universe Bag, and a formation space."
"If you had to distinguish, it's simply sturdier and safer."
"As for this Primordial Storage Realm, as far as I know, they're classified into four grades from strongest to weakest: Gold, Silver, Copper, and Iron."
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng asked, "Then this Primordial Storage Realm before us would be the Silver grade?"
