"If you want to cultivate a Forbidden-tier martial art, then I need to prepare a special place for you," Spring Dance said.
"Truly, Senior Sister Spring Dance, you are the one who understands me best. That's exactly why I came here today," Chu Feng replied. He didn't beat around the bush and explained his purpose directly.
"Hmph, as if I wouldn't understand you? Follow me. I'll show you something amazing on our Ethereal Immortal Peak," Spring Dance smirked, then turned and walked out of the hall.
Seeing this, Chu Feng hurried to catch up. He already knew the Ethereal Immortal Peak was quite special, and that the place where Spring Dance and the others trained in martial arts must have unique facilities. He was very curious to see what kind of training grounds existed on this peak.
After all, everything here was a legacy from the ancient era.
True to his expectations, under Spring Dance's lead, they passed through several heavily guarded checkpoints before reaching the top of a mountain.
Moreover, a sturdy barrier wall surrounded the peak's exterior. Even Spring Dance needed a special barrier key to open it.
Once they climbed to the summit, Chu Feng saw that the peak was vast. Yet in the center of this expansive peak stood only a small pagoda, less than ten meters tall and three meters wide. It looked dilapidated and shabby.
But its ancient aura told Chu Feng that this rundown little tower was far from simple—it was likely the true core of this peak.
So Chu Feng headed straight for the ancient pagoda. Upon closer inspection, he saw five characters written above the entrance: "Martial Arts Training Tower."
"Junior Brother Chu Feng, this is one of the most wondrous places on our Ethereal Immortal Peak—the Martial Arts Training Tower, a holy ground for training in martial arts," Spring Dance confirmed.
Just as Chu Feng had guessed, this shabby little tower was indeed the place to train in martial arts. Spring Dance opened the door, and what Chu Feng saw through the entrance was not the interior of a tower, but an entire world. This tower was a gateway to another realm.
"Amazing! Another independently created space! The Ethereal Immortal Peak is truly a treasure trove," Chu Feng exclaimed in admiration. With his growing experience, he now understood that powerful Spirit World Masters could create independent spaces.
He realized that both the previous Martial Pattern Immortal Realm and this world inside the training tower were likely such independent spaces created by powerful Spirit World Masters.
"Of course. If our Ethereal Immortal Peak were worthless, the Exiled Immortal Archipelago wouldn't keep trying to seize it. Only my Master's threat keeps them at bay; otherwise, they would have attacked long ago."
"Oh, right. Let me whisper a secret to you," Spring Dance suddenly lowered her voice. After leaning close to Chu Feng's ear, she still chose to transmit the message mentally:
"There are many other miraculous peaks on this Ethereal Immortal Peak. Even though my Master is its guardian, there are certain peaks she cannot ascend. So, what other special places and powers this peak holds is something even she doesn't know."
"A legacy from ancient times is truly extraordinary," Chu Feng nodded, then asked, "Senior Sister Spring Dance, besides the independent space, what else is special about this Martial Arts Training Tower? Why do you call it a holy ground for martial arts training?"
"You should go in and experience it for yourself. Just remember one thing: everything you see here, you can destroy without hesitation. Even living people or beings that seem invincible—don't be afraid. Trust me, and you'll be fine."
"Oh, and the most important thing is—don't go too far, and don't forget the way back. If you can't return, I won't be able to save you," Spring Dance said with a mysterious smile.
"Wow, you make it sound so incredible. I can't wait to see what's so special about this place!" Unable to contain himself any longer, Chu Feng took a step and passed through the pagoda's entrance into this independent space.
Upon entering, he found there was no sun, no blue sky, and no white clouds. The sky above was a murky gray, yellow sand stretched beneath his feet, and strong winds howled in the distance. The first impression this world gave him was one word: desolation.
Glancing back, the door was still there, and Spring Dance stood outside, smiling at him. "Remember, you're training a Forbidden-tier martial art. Absolutely do not rush for quick results. Know your limits."
"I will heed your advice, Senior Sister," Chu Feng said with a serious expression and bowed to her.
"Oh, you! I can't be bothered to watch you. Just play by yourself!" Feigning anger, Spring Dance pouted and shut the tower door. But just before it closed, her voice carried through:
"Oh, right! Remember to come back here for your three meals a day. I'll bring you food on schedule."
"Tsk, tsk, this girl's not bad at all. Chu Feng, why not consider taking her in? You already have three fiancées, so what's one more?" At that moment, the little guy inside Chu Feng snickered.
"You think too much," Chu Feng replied dismissfully, then shot into the sky to observe this world more closely.
After flying for a while over the desolate desert, he suddenly came upon a series of lush green mountain ranges. And above those mountains, the sky was different—blue with white clouds. In this chaotic, barren desert, such a scene was truly unique.
Flying past the mountains, Chu Feng saw an endless ocean stretching before him. Huge waves rolled across the surface, and the roars of sea beasts echoed in the air. This was clearly a dangerous sea.
While flying over the water, Chu Feng frequently saw sea beasts battling each other. The fights were brutal and bloody. Moreover, these sea beasts were not only enormous but also immensely powerful. The weakest were at the peak of the Heaven Martial level, and most were at the Martial King realm.
After flying further over the vast ocean, Chu Feng spotted a green island in the distance.
The island floated on the sea's surface and initially seemed unremarkable. But what caught Chu Feng's attention was the strange turbulence of the waves around it. Looking closely, he saw over a dozen enormous sea serpents in the water.
These serpents were truly massive—each over a hundred meters long. They had sharp fangs, and their bodies were covered in glistening scales that resembled armor, making them nearly invincible.
Every one of them emitted an aura matching the ninth level of the Martial King realm, and their presence was even more formidable than an ordinary peak Martial King.
Now, the dozen colossal sea serpents were baring their fangs and letting out piercing shrieks at the island.
At first, Chu Feng was puzzled, unable to understand why these sea serpents were so enraged at a single island.
Only when the island suddenly trembled and an incredibly powerful aura erupted from it did Chu Feng suddenly understand.
