Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
As the crowd was puzzled, thunderbolts suddenly struck down from the sea of lightning.
The purple thunder was extremely ferocious, a total of twelve bolts, like purple thunder dragons descending from the sky, crashing onto the ground.
When the purple thunder landed, the earth trembled violently.
The trembling seemed to awaken something, and from the ground’s surface, objects resembling fireflies began to emerge.
But these objects were more than ten times larger than fireflies, multicoloured, like transparent bubbles yet emitting a faint glow, extraordinarily beautiful.
“So beautiful.”
At this moment, many female disciples were captivated by the glowing objects rising from the ground.
“Look, there’s light over there!”
Suddenly, someone pointed into the distance and shouted loudly.
Following the voice, people saw purple light pillars shooting from the ground straight into the sky, piercing through the purple sea of lightning covering the void and disappearing into the depths.
Remarkably, there were exactly twelve purple light pillars, and their positions corresponded precisely to where the purple thunder had struck.
This made everyone realise something.
The twelve purple thunderbolts that had just descended from the void weren’t a warning but a clue.
“Those purple light pillars are passages. Through them, you can enter the void.”
After observing, someone from the Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain let out this exclamation.
In fact, not only the people from the Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain but also the disciples in all five regions of the bounded world had come to this conclusion.
Swish—
Suddenly, someone moved.
It was Chu Feng!!!
Chu Feng was the first to act.
But instead of heading towards the purple light pillars, he flew in the opposite direction.
“Hahaha…”
This action immediately drew laughter from someone.
It was Song Jinglun.
“Ouyang Pingzhi, your Wind Thunder Sword Sect really produces talent.”
“That guy just now was so arrogant, acting as if he looked down on both you and me. I thought he was a dark horse, a hidden genius.”
“But who would’ve thought, after entering this place, he’d immediately flee.”
“Though he’s not a genius, he’s certainly a rare talent, hahaha…”
Song Jinglun’s mocking laughter grew fainter as he spoke, for while he ridiculed, he had already set off, leading the disciples of the Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain towards one of the closer purple light pillars.
“That bastard Wang Chen has completely disgraced our Wind Thunder Sword Sect.”
“I’ll have to teach him a lesson when we get back.”
Ouyang Pingzhi glared in the direction Chu Feng had flown, cursing, but he didn’t pursue him.
Instead, he turned and led the Wind Thunder Sword Sect disciples towards another nearby purple light pillar.
After all, he didn’t want to lose the initiative because of someone like Chu Feng.
So, despite his anger, completing the task here was more important than dealing with Chu Feng.
As the distance grew, Ouyang Pingzhi and the others could no longer see Chu Feng, but those outside could.
The people outside the bounded world, through the images in the void, could see almost everything within and, by reading lips, understand what the disciples inside were saying.
Though Wang Chen, whom Chu Feng was disguised as, was a minor figure, his earlier actions had already drawn attention.
Moreover, since it would take some time for the disciples of the six major forces to reach the nearest purple light pillars, the journey was somewhat dull.
So, people turned their attention to Chu Feng.
They all wanted to know where this fleeing figure was headed.
But after observing, they grew even more puzzled.
“What is that Wind Thunder Sword Sect disciple doing?”
Many voiced this question.
Because Chu Feng’s actions were far from what they expected.
As he moved, Chu Feng was collecting things—the glowing objects that had been shaken from the depths of the earth by the twelve purple thunderbolts.
But he wasn’t collecting all of them; he was carefully selecting.
The glowing objects were stunningly beautiful, but no matter how you looked at them, they seemed useless.
Yet Chu Feng picked them with such care, even showing joy after selecting some.
It was as if he had obtained long-coveted treasures.
This scene starkly contrasted with Nangong Yifan, Ouyang Pingzhi, Song Jinglun, and others who were leading their disciples at full speed towards the purple light pillars.
If Nangong Yifan and the others’ desperate efforts to seize the treasure were inspiring, then Chu Feng’s actions were like someone lost in trivial pursuits, deserving disdain.
“Wind Thunder Sect Leader, your disciple is quite interesting.”
“Truly a fascinating child. Realising he can’t compete with others, he simply gives up and seeks other amusements. Such a mindset is rare…”
Even the major figures in the main stands—the Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain Sect Leader, the Miao Clan Chief, the Dragon Phoenix Immortal Pavilion Leader, and the Blazing Academy Leader—began commenting on Chu Feng.
Especially the Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain Sect Leader, whose words dripped with sarcasm, glancing at the Wind Thunder Sword Sect Leader as he spoke.
This left the Wind Thunder Sword Sect Leader humiliated.
In his fury, he turned his gaze to the elders of the Wind Thunder Sword Sect.
His glare seemed to demand why such a foolish disciple had been chosen, causing him to lose face now.
At this moment, those connected to Wang Chen were trembling with fear, heads bowed, feeling as if disaster was imminent.
Especially one elder named Wang Shangkun, who looked utterly dejected, almost on the verge of tears.
He was Wang Chen’s grandfather. In truth, there were many disciples in the Wind Thunder Sword Sect with Wang Chen’s level of cultivation.
Wang Chen had secured the chance to enter the bounded world largely due to his grandfather’s efforts.
Originally, his grandfather thought Wang Chen could gain some recognition and pave the way for his future.
But he never expected that his usually astute grandson would suddenly act so foolishly today.
Now, not only was his grandson in trouble, but he himself was likely to face consequences.
A wave of regret washed over him, and he even felt the urge to kill Wang Chen.
…
As for Chu Feng, he had his own reasoning.
Chu Feng was now a Dragon Mark Saint Cloak Spiritist.
The enhancement of his bounded power brought more than just increased combat strength.
His bounded techniques had undergone a qualitative leap in all aspects, and naturally, his Heavenly Eye had also improved.
Under the observation of his Heavenly Eye, Chu Feng had noticed many details.
The twelve purple light pillars indeed played a significant role.
But in reality, the glowing objects that had emerged from the ground were equally important.
Most of the glowing objects were distractions, useless.
But among them were unique glowing objects.
These special glowing objects didn’t have a uniform colour and could only be distinguished through careful observation.
Though individual glowing objects were weak, collecting enough of them could combine into a considerable force.
