"Is there an entrance?" Long Mucheng asked.
"I was unable to find one," Chu Feng said.
"Maybe it's because we're too far away. Should we get closer?"
Long Mucheng asked again.
"We can't get any closer. Although I couldn't identify the entrance to this phenomenon, I did find the Prison Sect's forces."
"They seem to have anticipated that we would come. They've deployed a large number of troops and employed many different methods."
"Even though we're using concealment formations, if we get any closer, I'm afraid their detection methods will pick us up," Chu Feng said.
"But from this distance, it really does just look like a phenomenon," Long Mucheng said.
After all, even Chu Feng couldn't discern anything special about it.
"Eggy, don't you think this phenomenon bears a resemblance to the Primordial Storage Realm?" Chu Feng asked Eggy.
The so-called Primordial Storage Realm was a space similar to a spatial formation. The difference was that the Primordial Storage Realm was far safer, and entering it required knowing the specific method to breach it.
Back when Qing Xuantian left behind the power for the Dragon Breath Clan's transformation, he had placed it inside a Primordial Storage Realm.
"Aren't Primordial Storage Realms supposed to have doors? This phenomenon doesn't have one," Eggy said.
She didn't share Chu Feng's intuition.
Chu Feng fell into thought. It was true that it was only a feeling, and that feeling couldn't serve as confirmed evidence. Besides, even if it really was a Primordial Storage Realm, he would still need to find the method to breach it before he could enter.
After a moment, Chu Feng made his decision.
"Everyone, I need to get closer, but the Prison Sect is blocking off the phenomenon."
"To be cautious, we can't leave too many people out in the open. If any of you were captured by the Prison Sect, that would be disastrous."
"Therefore, I need everyone to enter the formation," Chu Feng said.
The others had always followed Chu Feng's orders without question, and his words served as commands in their eyes.
One by one, they stepped into the formation that could enhance their combat power, including the Totem Dragon Clan's chief and Long Mucheng herself.
Now, only two people remained beside Chu Feng.
The two strongest fighters currently in the Chu Alliance — Little Fish and Fei.
And as Chu Feng's trio carefully approached the phenomenon…
The Prison Sect's dragnet had already been largely completed, and was still being strengthened.
The most crucial link in the chain was the Prison God's Bestowed Gift, being activated by the six Neutral Faction elders.
At that moment, the Neutral Faction elders stood in a stretch of starry sky outside the phenomenon.
Concealment formations surrounded them, and their bodies were wrapped in talisman patterns — talisman papers crafted for them by Jie Tianran.
Empowered by the talisman papers, the six Neutral Faction elders pinched hand seals simultaneously as a strange power surged from within them, continuously converging into the Prison God's Bestowed Gift at their center.
Before long, all six elders' bodies trembled.
The Prison God's Bestowed Gift began releasing a dark crimson aura. That crimson aura climbed along the threads of power the six elders fed into it, eventually engulfing them entirely.
When they opened their eyes once more, the same crimson aura burned within their gazes.
"It's done."
All six Neutral Faction elders exhaled in relief.
Activating the Prison God's Bestowed Gift was dangerous, but once the activation succeeded, that danger dissipated.
"These talisman papers are incredibly useful. Jie Tianran really does have some skill. We should have him craft more of these for us," Lieshan said.
"After this, we'll only have two activations left. There's no need to have many more talisman papers made," Cangli said.
"Good. Now that the activation is complete, let's not waste time. Activate the Prison God's Sense."
The moment Tingyun spoke those words, the six Neutral Faction elders shifted their hand seals.
In the next instant, an invisible force radiated outward from the Prison God's Bestowed Gift, spreading at tremendous speed.
In the blink of an eye, it had enveloped the entirety of the vast phenomenon, and was still expanding further.
Most remarkably, the six Neutral Faction elders' awareness was now bound together with the power of the Prison God's Bestowed Gift.
