Once the decision was made, they departed immediately.
And as they traveled farther and farther from the world they had just left behind, that world actually seemed to grow more magnificent.
A colossal halo of light enveloped the world, brighter than an ordinary sun.
Even though the world's legacy had already vanished, From this vantage, it appeared several times more sacred than before — surpassing virtually every world they had encountered along the way.
It was as though it were deliberately letting the world see it.
"Could it be that this burial world has something to do with that big fellow's Seven Star Alignment?"
Egg asked as she gazed at the world.
Meanwhile, Chu Feng was using his Heavenly Eyes to observe, and he indeed discovered that this world harbored extraordinary power, poised and ready to surge.
"Perhaps one of the seven stars is this very world. But its true power — we won't know until all seven stars have appeared," Chu Feng said.
"Then this counts as a test, right?"
"If you really pull it off, shouldn't that disgusting big fellow give you some kind of reward?" Egg asked.
"I'd like that too. Here's hoping," Chu Feng replied with a laugh.
But in truth, he held no real expectations.
His impression of this Primordial Burial Ground had never changed from the very beginning.
Eerie.
And the colossal existence he had glimpsed within that space was equally eerie.
After observing for a while, Chu Feng sat cross-legged and began cultivating.
He had already informed the Huangfu Heavenly Clan's patriarch of their destination, so there was no need for him to worry about the journey.
As for cultivation, Chu Feng was not trying to improve his cultivation level. At this point, simply cultivating to raise his level was exceedingly slow — what he needed more was opportunity and fortune.
Moreover, in a place like the Primordial Burial Ground, raising even two full ranks of cultivation would hardly make a difference.
So what Chu Feng cultivated was something else entirely.
In fact, this was not something new — ever since leaving the Divine Era, most of his cultivation time had been devoted to paths other than raising his cultivation rank.
…
The Primordial Burial Ground was as vast as the Martial Cultivation World itself. Tombstones stood in the void, each one containing a boundless world within.
Right now, one burial world appeared utterly unremarkable on the surface. But upon stepping inside, one would discover that everything in this place emitted a faint glow.
An ancient aura permeated heaven and earth.
The entire world was a grand formation, and at its center, a massive tombstone radiating light served as the formation's core.
Floating in the air before that tombstone stood a figure — Jie Mubai.
Jie Mubai had already been here for some time.
And his heart was surging with elation.
He had realized that this world was no simple repository of legacy. It very likely concerned the very lifeline of the entire Primordial Burial Ground.
If he could crack it open, he might be able to unravel the secret of the entire Primordial Burial Ground.
After a round of observation, Jie Mubai had already made progress.
He formed hand seals, and the power of his barrier erupted from within his body. That minuscule frame soon unleashed a torrent of barrier power so vast it covered heaven and earth.
As his hand seals shifted, the barrier power transformed in an instant into a sky-blotting grand formation. Before this formation, even that towering tombstone looked pitifully small.
This was the ability of a Heavenly Dragon Spirit World Master.
The formation had taken shape, but he did not activate it right away. Instead, he flipped his palm, and ten talisman papers radiating an ancient aura materialized.
He hurled the ten talisman papers, each landing in one of the formation's ten nodes. The entire formation underwent a transformation in response.
"Unseal!"
With Jie Mubai's soft shout, the formation finally activated. As the barrier power interwove, changes swiftly appeared upon the tombstone.
Countless runes poured out of the tombstone like billions of fish swimming through the heavens. If one could arrange these runes in the correct sequence, the secret of this formation could be unlocked.
Although this was an exceedingly time-consuming task, Jie Mubai was absolutely thrilled — the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes deepened with his grin.
"Chu Feng, you once said my fortune was nothing to speak of."
"Well, here sits this fortune right before me. Why didn't you come and claim it?"
"You probably had the ability to crack this place. But unfortunately, you didn't have the power to seize it."
"This is fate."
"It was decreed by the Heavens."
"Decreed that the fortune of this Primordial Burial Ground would belong to me, Jie Mubai."
Joy spread across Jie Mubai's face, his eyes brimming with excitement.
After all, anyone could see that the fortune within this Primordial Burial Ground was extraordinary.
But just as quickly, Jie Mubai's expression changed dramatically, and he involuntarily looked outward from the world.
