“Stop talking nonsense and help me break through this place.”
After saying this, Chu Feng immediately sat cross-legged, releasing a surge of powerful bounding energy from his body.
Following the guidance of his arms, beams of light began to form and intertwine.
Chu Feng was setting up a formation.
Seeing this, the eleven members of the Secret Cave Saints also sat cross-legged, quickly assisting Chu Feng with the formation.
Though their observational skills were inferior to Chu Feng’s, it was only because his Heavenly Eyes were exceptionally powerful.
In truth, the Secret Cave Saints’ spirit techniques were quite formidable.
Their weak performance in the Spirit Mansion Gate was due to restrictions placed on them.
Their true strength was remarkable.
So, without Chu Feng needing to say anything, they knew how to coordinate with him.
With their combined efforts, they soon tore open a rift in the chaotic space.
Chu Feng and the others swiftly passed through it.
Beyond the rift, Chu Feng entered another realm.
It was a rock cave.
The cave appeared ordinary, but an ancient aura permeated every corner.
This indicated the cave had existed for ages.
Looking back, the rift was still there on the rock wall, allowing Chu Feng and the others to return.
*Buzz—*
The Secret Cave Saints were ecstatic, their eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation as they scanned their surroundings. But Chu Feng turned back, setting up a formation to seal the rift.
“Brother Shura, you’re really cautious.”
“If you hadn’t done that, we might’ve overlooked it.”
“If someone else sneaks in, we’d be at a loss,” the eldest Saint praised Chu Feng.
They thought he sealed the rift to prevent others from entering.
“I’m not preventing others from coming in.”
“The formation I just placed on the rock is one of mutual creation and destruction, with a time limit.”
“Once we’re inside, the formation’s power will fade, and no one will be able to pass through the rock into the formation world, let alone find this entrance,” Chu Feng explained.
“If that’s the case, why bother doing it?” the Secret Cave Saints asked, almost in unison, their curiosity piqued.
“To prevent someone from discovering this entrance,” Chu Feng said.
“Brother Shura, you’re confusing me.”
“Didn’t you say no one could enter? Why worry about someone finding the entrance?” asked the eleventh Saint.
He was voicing what the others were thinking.
“I’m not preventing someone from coming in but from going out.”
“And I can’t be sure if it’s even a person,” Chu Feng said.
“Brother Shura, what do you mean?”
“You’re scaring us,” the Secret Cave Saints said, their hairs standing on end.
Chu Feng’s words were terrifying.
This wasn’t just any cave, not a place for sightseeing.
This was the Demon-Slaying Emperor’s Tomb.
Established tens of thousands of years ago, no one had ever entered it since.
If something was here—and alive—it was no ordinary creature.
“Brother Shura, did you notice something to say this?” the eldest Saint asked, staying calmer than the others, avoiding panic and seeking clarification.
“I haven’t found anything. It’s just a precaution,” Chu Feng said.
“Sigh…”
“Just a precaution?”
“Brother Shura, you scared us to death.”
Relieved, the Secret Cave Saints exhaled.
While a tomb could house terrifying creatures as a defense against grave robbers, finding something and merely suspecting it were different matters.
After this, the Secret Cave Saints were less afraid, though still cautious, and began exploring deeper into the cave.
Since their current spot was in the middle of the cave with paths on both sides, they split into two groups to investigate slowly.
The reason for such care was the cave’s complexity, which blocked spirit techniques.
Even Chu Feng’s Heavenly Eyes were ineffective, as were the other spirit masters’ methods.
Unable to see miles ahead, they had to explore step by step.
“My goodness, there might really be a monster in this cave.”
Not long after, a startled cry came from the other direction.
It was the seventh Saint’s voice.
Hearing the cry, Chu Feng and the others rushed over.
Upon arriving, they saw a massive mural on one of the cave’s rock walls.
The mural was crude but eerie.
It seemed drawn with claws as a brush.
The starting strokes were aged, but the final ones were fresh.
This meant the mural had been created over time, completed very recently.
This was why the Secret Cave Saints concluded there must be another creature here.
“This mural?”
Unlike the Saints, Chu Feng’s eyes widened upon seeing it, his heart surging with shock.
Because Chu Feng realized the figure in the mural looked familiar to him!!!
