"Elder, do you have a treasure on you that can observe the direction of the Era of the Gods?"
Chu Feng asked the Clan Master of the Ling Clan.
"I do."
The Clan Master of the Ling Clan immediately retrieved an ancient mirror from his Universe Bag.
It was a small observation array, though the number of times it could be activated was limited.
Chu Feng took the item and aimed it toward the Era of the Gods, activating it right away.
The mirror left his hand and instantly expanded into a massive mirror surface a hundred meters tall.
The scenery of the Era of the Gods soon appeared within the mirror's reflection.
Only then did people notice that the enormous phantom of the Era of the Gods was undergoing a change.
The phantom was holding up the three great gates with both hands, placing them against its chest.
Three different patterns had appeared on each of those three gates.
Before, there had been no such patterns.
"Is the Era of the Gods about to open?"
"Chu Feng, how did you know?"
The Clan Master of the Ling Clan looked at Chu Feng in astonishment — they had been chatting normally just moments ago, yet Chu Feng had suddenly become aware of a change in the Era of the Gods.
"I have a connection with the Era of the Gods. I sensed it," Chu Feng said.
"A c-connection?"
*"Tssssk~"*
The Clan Master of the Ling Clan couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.
He had heard about Chu Feng's exploits so many times his ears had grown calluses.
In this day and age of martial cultivation, who didn't know Chu Feng was an absolute monster?
But hearing about it and seeing it were two entirely different things.
When he actually came into close contact with Chu Feng and witnessed his deeds with his own eyes, he suddenly realized how foolish he had been before — stubbornly clinging to the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.
He should have allied himself with Chu Feng long ago.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
*"Damn it — before, I thought the Totem Dragon Clan had been kicked in the head by a donkey, binding themselves to this young upstart Chu Feng and sharing life and death with him. But looking at it now, I'm the one who got kicked in the head. They were the ones with vision — the sharpest of them all was that Totem Dragon Clan."*
The more the Clan Master of the Ling Clan thought about it, the more regret he felt.
The patterns on the three gates did not linger long before they vanished.
After that, all three gates radiated a strange glow.
It was a signal.
All three gates had opened — it was time to step inside.
"It looks like we can go in now."
The Clan Master of the Ling Clan looked toward Chu Feng. The reason he looked to Chu Feng was that he didn't dare make a call himself; instinctively, he felt that Chu Feng's answer would be more reliable.
This renowned Spirit World Master had become utterly lacking in confidence whenever Chu Feng was around.
"Yes," Chu Feng replied. "The Era of the Gods has truly opened this time."
"But the three gates seem to be different from each other," the Clan Master of the Ling Clan added.
He could tell there was a difference, but he couldn't make out the specifics.
"There is indeed a difference," Chu Feng agreed.
"What kind of difference?" the Clan Master of the Ling Clan pressed.
"I can't be certain either." Chu Feng shook his head.
"So even you can't tell?"
"Does that mean this time we can obtain the true power of the Era of the Gods?"
the Clan Master of the Ling Clan asked once more.
"Most likely."
As Chu Feng spoke, his hands shifted through a series of technique seals, and the mirror shrank back to its normal size, returning to his palm.
"My lord, I must be heading back. Now that the Era of the Gods has opened, Jie Tianran will inevitably make a move."
The Clan Master of the Ling Clan turned to look at Jie Shanxian.
"Mm." Jie Shanxian gave a slight nod.
"Grandpa, please be careful," Ling Sheng'er said, a note of worry creeping into her voice. After all, heading back now was still somewhat dangerous.
"Relax — your grandpa won't be getting into any trouble," the Clan Master of the Ling Clan said.
