At this moment, Chu Feng and the other two stood above Flame Cliff.
Gazing at the rising flames and the bottomless abyss below, their faces were filled with complex emotions.
There was tension, excitement, anticipation, and eagerness.
They all knew how dangerous Flame Cliff was.
Yet they were also deeply expectant.
Especially Fu Mo Shaoyu, whose anticipation was even stronger than Chu Feng’s.
For Chu Feng, leaving this place meant returning to his own world.
But for Fu Mo Shaoyu, it meant stepping into a brand-new world, the true, vast martial cultivation realm.
“Sis, go back,” Fu Mo Shaoyu said to Fu Mo Xin’er.
“Brother, I’ve changed my mind. I want to go with you,” Fu Mo Xin’er replied.
“You want to come with me?”
“But didn’t you say you’d stay to take care of Grandma?”
Fu Mo Shaoyu looked at his sister in surprise.
Before this, she had insisted on staying, unwilling to leave.
He had even tried to persuade her to venture out with him, but she had been adamant about remaining here.
This was why Fu Mo Shaoyu knew more about leaving this place.
Every exploration into escaping had been undertaken by him alone.
“I thought about it. Grandma is healthy now and doesn’t need my care.”
“I’ll go see the world with you. When she’s older, I’ll come back to look after her.”
“Besides, if you run off, I’ll definitely get scolded.”
“And if you fail to get out and get eaten by the Ancient Devouring Beast, I’ll get scolded even more.”
“Since I’ll get scolded either way, I might as well go with you.”
Fu Mo Xin’er said.
“Pfft, don’t give me that nonsense. I bet you have ulterior motives.”
As he spoke, Fu Mo Shaoyu glanced at Chu Feng.
Fu Mo Xin’er’s beautiful face suddenly flushed, and she lowered her head, saying, “No way, I just want to stick with you, Brother. Don’t talk nonsense.”
As she spoke, she also glanced at Chu Feng.
Her look was ambiguous, hard to decipher.
Seeing this, Chu Feng felt a bit awkward.
Could Fu Mo Xin’er actually have feelings for him?
But he had no such feelings for her.
If she truly had fallen for him, it would be a doomed, fruitless romance.
“No, I need to prevent this from happening.”
“I have to make it clear to Fu Mo Xin’er that we’re impossible.”
With this thought, Chu Feng wanted to say something.
He intended to hint to Fu Mo Xin’er that she shouldn’t develop feelings for him.
But at that moment, Fu Mo Shaoyu suddenly threw an arm around Chu Feng’s shoulder.
Then, with an arrogant air, he said to Fu Mo Xin’er, “Sis, Brother Chu Feng is mine. I’m planning to marry him, so don’t get any ideas.”
Hearing this, Chu Feng’s face paled, and he quickly broke free from Fu Mo Shaoyu’s arm.
“Haha, Brother Chu Feng, I’m just kidding. Look how scared you got.”
Fu Mo Shaoyu laughed heartily.
Fu Mo Xin’er covered her mouth, giggling as well.
From his playful demeanor, it seemed Fu Mo Shaoyu was indeed joking with Chu Feng.
But considering Fu Mo Shaoyu’s penchant for strange reading materials, Chu Feng couldn’t help but feel this guy was a bit odd, instinctively keeping his distance.
“Alright, enough messing around. Let’s get to business,” Fu Mo Xin’er said.
Then, Chu Feng began setting up a formation.
Though entering Flame Cliff was inherently risky, they needed to take every precaution.
Chu Feng’s concealment formation was, of course, essential.
After setting it up, the three descended into Flame Cliff, proceeding cautiously.
According to Fu Mo Shaoyu’s findings, leaving this world required three steps.
The first step was to find a special Flame Fruit at the bottom of Flame Cliff.
The first and third steps were relatively simple.
The second step was the most difficult and dangerous.
It required obtaining a scale from the Ancient Devouring Beast.
Taking a scale from such a creature was incredibly perilous.
Crucially, it had to be done inside Flame Cliff.
Doing so outside would be ineffective.
As for why, Fu Mo Shaoyu had his theory.
He believed the Ancient Devouring Beast’s strength was more complete inside Flame Cliff, making its scales more powerful.
Only such scales could break the barrier and allow them to leave the Devouring Heaven World.
The third step was simpler.
They would fashion the beast’s scale into close-fitting armour to protect themselves.
Then, after consuming the Flame Fruit and entering an ancient teleportation formation, they could leave.
Previously, Fu Mo Shaoyu had sneaked into Flame Cliff multiple times when the beast was absent.
He was very familiar with the terrain.
Confirming the Ancient Devouring Beast wasn’t currently in Flame Cliff, they quickened their pace.
Led by Fu Mo Shaoyu, they soon found the so-called Flame Fruit.
It resembled a tomato, with no actual flames, just flame-like patterns on its skin.
Upon seeing it, Chu Feng understood why consuming the Flame Fruit was necessary to leave.
He discovered the fruit contained immense barrier energy, already formed into a barrier formation.
Chu Feng guessed that swallowing the fruit would activate the formation within the body.
But the effect would likely be time-limited, so to be safe, they gathered all the Flame Fruits they could find.
The second, most critical, and dangerous step was next.
They had to hide and wait for the Ancient Devouring Beast to return, then take a scale from it while it rested and escape.
To ensure a quick getaway, Chu Feng set up a hidden teleportation formation at the beast’s resting place.
With this formation, once they obtained the scale, they could escape instantly.
Ordinary teleportation formations were relatively simple to set up.
But a formation concealed enough to evade the Ancient Devouring Beast was time-consuming and complex.
Even for a spiritist of Chu Feng’s caliber, it took ten full hours to complete, using many rare materials.
After finishing, they hid at a distance, quietly awaiting the beast’s return.
They didn’t hide directly at the beast’s resting place because its full strength was too formidable, beyond measure.
Even Fu Mo Shaoyu and Fu Mo Xin’er, who had suppressed the beast multiple times with the Fu Mo Curse, couldn’t gauge its full power.
According to their grandmother, the Ancient Devouring Beast in its complete state was invincible.
This was why she insisted there was no way to leave the Devouring Heaven World.
She didn’t want them challenging the beast inside Flame Cliff.
So, Chu Feng and the others were afraid.
They feared a mere flap of the beast’s wings could reduce them to ashes.
To be safe, hiding at a distance was the wiser choice.
