As soon as one stepped through the entrance, they would automatically plummet toward the Endless Abyss.
Even if one regretted it halfway, there was no turning back.
A force compelled them to descend along a specific path.
Each entrance seemed to have its own designated route, allowing only downward travel along that path.
Finally, Chu Feng and Long Daozhi broke free from the constraint, their feet touching solid ground.
They had arrived in the Endless Abyss.
However, the Endless Abyss was not as they had imagined.
It was pitch black, and only special observation techniques allowed them to see their surroundings.
The place was desolate, with yellow earth covering the ground and sand swirling in the air, resembling a desert despite being an underground world.
Apart from a binding barrier above that prevented Chu Feng and Long Daozhi from returning the way they came, there was no sense of any barrier energy around them.
Even the dangerous aura they had felt outside was gone.
This change felt somewhat eerie.
Moreover, the place was vast beyond measure.
Its immensity was indirectly evident through Chu Feng’s sensory abilities.
Chu Feng’s spiritual power was now exceptionally strong.
When focused, his spiritual power could cover everything within a radius of ten million meters.
Yet even so, he could not sense the presence of anyone else.
This meant that, within ten million meters, there was no one besides him and Long Daozhi.
Yet, before Chu Feng and Long Daozhi entered, others had already gone into the Endless Abyss through the same entrance above.
Standing in this place, Long Daozhi’s brows furrowed slightly.
Such a barren place offered no clues, and finding the Dragon Vein Origin Stone here was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
“Senior, don’t worry, I will definitely help you obtain the Dragon Vein Origin Stone.”
At that moment, Chu Feng spoke up.
He had noticed Long Daozhi’s concern.
Long Daozhi looked at Chu Feng, and seeing his confident smile, half of his worries eased.
He knew Chu Feng well enough to know that he was not one to make empty boasts.
“Young friend Chu Feng, I’ll be counting on you.”
Long Daozhi said.
“They’re here.”
Suddenly, Chu Feng looked up toward the direction they had come from.
Soon, the leaders of the other four allied forces, along with the four spirit masters, descended from the sky, landing beside Chu Feng and Long Daozhi.
However, the four spirit masters’ faces grew uneasy upon seeing Chu Feng again.
After all, they had just suffered great humiliation because of him.
“Four seniors, you are truly kind.”
Chu Feng said to the four leaders.
“Young friend Chu Feng, what do you mean by that?”
The four leaders were puzzled.
“If you weren’t kind, you wouldn’t have gone so easy on these four good-for-nothings.”
“After all, they wasted four opportunities.”
“And those opportunities were bought with your bloodline power and lifespan.”
Chu Feng said.
“What more do you want? Are you going to kill us?”
One of the four spirit masters roared in anger.
He was truly furious.
If not for Chu Feng, they wouldn’t have endured such humiliation.
Yet, despite already being punished, Chu Feng was still pressing them.
It was clear he wanted them dead.
“Shut up.”
“Don’t be rude to young friend Chu Feng.”
Unexpectedly, the one who had just spoken was immediately reprimanded.
And it wasn’t Long Daozhi who scolded him, but the leader who had invited him.
If it had been Long Daozhi, he might have dared to argue, but this leader’s reprimand made him shut his mouth instantly.
After all, just moments ago, this leader had shown killing intent toward him.
He didn’t dare offend him further.
Even in this place, he had to give his all, or he might not return alive.
As Chu Feng said, they had wasted opportunities bought with the leaders’ lifespan and bloodline power.
“Young friend Chu Feng, don’t mind them.”
“Besides, we’re allies, let’s let bygones be bygones.”
“Indeed, we should look forward.”
After scolding the spirit master, the four leaders spoke to Chu Feng with smiles.
At this moment, they didn’t dare offend Chu Feng, instead treating him like a revered ancestor.
“Rest assured, I, Chu Feng, am not one to hold grudges.”
Chu Feng said.
“Young friend Chu Feng, where should we go now?”
The four spirit masters asked.
The depths of the Endless Abyss were too vast, and they had no idea where to go.
They could only rely on Chu Feng, as they could see his spirit techniques were far superior to those of the four spirit masters they had invited.
However, Chu Feng didn’t answer directly, instead turning to Long Daozhi, “Senior Long, do we still need to bring them along?”
At these words, the four leaders’ faces paled in fear.
They were counting on Chu Feng, and if he refused to include them, it would be a massive loss.
“Bring them along, we’re allies after all.”
“But let me be clear, from now on, you all follow my orders.”
“As long as you obey, if we find the Dragon Vein Origin Stone, I’ll share it as agreed.”
“But if you disobey, don’t blame me for being unkind.”
Long Daozhi said.
“What?”
“Unkind?”
Hearing Long Daozhi’s words, the four leaders were inwardly furious.
They were relying on Chu Feng, not Long Daozhi, whom they still looked down upon.
Yet now, Long Daozhi dared to speak to them this way, naturally making them unhappy.
But since Chu Feng was invited by Long Daozhi and had a good relationship with him, they could only swallow their displeasure and force smiles.
Then, the group proceeded according to Chu Feng’s guidance.
However, not long after, the accompanying spirit masters pointed out that Chu Feng was heading in the wrong direction.
After all, they were seasoned spirit masters with their own observation methods, and according to those, Chu Feng’s direction was extremely barren, unlikely to lead to the Dragon Vein Origin Stone.
In fact, Long Daozhi and the other four leaders were also spirit masters.
Though their spirit techniques couldn’t compare to Chu Feng’s dragon-marked saint robe level, they had their own sensory and observation methods.
Along the way, they observed as well, and their findings aligned with the four spirit masters.
But since Chu Feng’s spirit techniques were stronger, when the other spirit masters raised objections, they not only dismissed them but also scolded them.
This silenced the other spirit masters, who dared not speak further despite their thoughts.
However, after traveling for a full day with no discoveries, the barren aura around them only grew stronger.
In this situation, though Long Daozhi still firmly trusted Chu Feng, the other four leaders grew impatient.
“Young friend Chu Feng, are we really going the right way?”
Finally, someone voiced their doubts.
“If you think I’m wrong, you and your spirit masters are free to turn back and follow the direction you think is right.”
“Why bother asking?”
Chu Feng coldly glanced at the leader.
“Outrageous!!!”
“We respect you, but we’re not afraid of you.”
“Watch your tone with me.”
Finally, unable to bear it, the leader roared.
She was an old woman.
Despite her age, she had a fierce face.
When she first met Long Daozhi, she had repeatedly humiliated him and even Chu Feng, initially dismissing them entirely.
She had been holding back only to make use of Chu Feng’s barrier techniques.
But after traveling swiftly for a full day with no results, and with both Chu Feng and Long Daozhi giving them cold shoulders and poor attitudes, her anger had been building.
Now, it finally erupted.
In fact, not just her, but the other three leaders also began to show displeasure.
They had been tolerating Chu Feng to use him.
If they found he was of no use, they had no reason to keep up the pretense.
“You’re questioning me?”
“No matter.”
But facing the suddenly furious old woman, Chu Feng didn’t get angry, instead giving a slight smile and continuing forward.
Not long after, Chu Feng stopped.
As he landed, he pointed his palm downward, and a barrier formation shot from his hand. Upon hitting the ground, it burst into radiant light.
The dazzling glow illuminated the desolate underground world, making it vibrant.
At first, Long Daozhi and the others were puzzled, not understanding why Chu Feng did this.
But soon, their eyes lit up.
Under the coverage of Chu Feng’s formation, the previously unremarkable ground began to emit a powerful aura.
While this aura might mean little to others, for Long Daozhi and the old woman, who were of the dragon clan, it was thrilling, making their blood boil with excitement.
