Song Yun insisted on following Chu Feng. With no other choice, Chu Feng had to bring her along.
Following the map trajectory he had discovered, Chu Feng soon arrived at the entrance to one of the barrier gates.
This place was concealed within an ordinary stretch of jungle.
Just like the previous key formations, if you could not sense it, you would not see it even if it was right in front of you. Even if you passed by it, you would feel nothing.
In fact, this entrance was even more hidden than those key formations.
With the power of his Heaven’s Eyes, Chu Feng could see the key formations.
But for this entrance, Chu Feng could neither see it nor sense it.
“Brother Chu Feng, are you sure this is the entrance?”
“To be honest, I am at least a Dragon Mark Royal-cloak World Spiritist. Although my barrier techniques are not as good as yours, I am still skilled in some observation methods.”
“But here, I feel absolutely nothing.”
The mischievous Song Yun did not stand still obediently. Instead, she leapt up and sat on a tree branch, swinging her slender legs while scanning the surroundings, as if trying hard to see through the area.
“Girl, you may have good talent, but you are still a bit inexperienced.”
“Watch your Brother Chu Feng perform.”
Chu Feng smiled faintly, then released his barrier power.
His palm moved like a brush, barrier power flowing like ink. In just a moment, he constructed a special formation.
It was special because, although it had the shape of a formation, it lacked any actual power.
“That’s a star map?”
Upon seeing the formation, Song Yun’s beautiful eyes suddenly brightened.
She realised that the formation Chu Feng had created was part of the brilliant map that obscured the void.
“Correct. You haven’t disgraced the name of Royal-cloak World Spiritist after all. You did notice something.”
Chu Feng nodded, then pointed forward. The formation floating before him drifted ahead.
Buzz—
Suddenly, as if it had struck something, the formation scattered immediately.
The dispersing formation turned into a sheet of light. Wherever the light passed, solid objects emerged.
When the object fully appeared, it was revealed to be a stone gate.
“Wow, amazing. You really found it.”
Song Yun jumped down from the tree and clapped enthusiastically for Chu Feng.
Although the stone gate looked very ordinary, Song Yun knew it must be one of the three barrier gates.
“Girl, let me make this clear beforehand.”
“This place is no playground. There will definitely be dangers inside.”
“If you insist on coming with me, I may not be able to keep you safe. If something unexpected happens, don’t blame me.”
Chu Feng said to Song Yun.
“Don’t worry, Brother Chu Feng. I absolutely won’t cause trouble or become a burden to you. If my strength really isn’t enough inside, I’ll turn around and run out immediately.”
Song Yun looked up at him with her small face and promised earnestly.
Seeing her like this, Chu Feng truly had no way to refuse. He could only take the girl with him as they stepped inside.
Once Chu Feng and Song Yun entered the barrier gate, the stone gate vanished.
However, it only disappeared from the forest outside.
Behind Chu Feng and Song Yun, the stone gate was still there. This meant they had a way out. If they wanted to leave, they could do so at any time.
Seeing the stone gate still present, Chu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
The world inside the stone gate was a rocky cave with stone walls on all sides.
Although Chu Feng knew this was all created by barrier formations, he could not detect any flaws in the stone walls.
So realistic that it was indistinguishable from the real thing. This proved that the creator of these barrier formations was far stronger than Chu Feng.
But Chu Feng was not concerned with whether the walls were real or fake. His gaze constantly scanned ahead, trying to detect any mechanisms in advance.
After walking only a short distance, Chu Feng stopped. He stopped because he noticed Song Yun had halted behind him.
The girl stood there with her head lowered, looking dejected, as if something was troubling her.
“Girl, what’s wrong?”
Chu Feng, unaware of the truth, asked with concern.
“Brother Chu Feng, the formations inside here are a bit different. I think I have to leave, or else… I’ll hold you back.”
Song Yun said.
Hearing this, Chu Feng was actually quite happy.
From the start, he had not wanted to bring Song Yun in, fearing an accident where he could not protect her fully. If she left now, it would suit him perfectly.
“Silly girl, of course this place is different.”
“If you want to go, I’ll escort you out.”
As he spoke, Chu Feng took Song Yun’s hand and started walking back.
The previously stubborn Song Yun now obediently followed him. However, when they reached the stone gate, she suddenly stopped.
“You can make me leave, but only if you eat this.”
As she spoke, Song Yun took a pill from her sleeve.
The pill was golden, but it contained a speck of black inside. It was called a pill, yet it looked more like a bead.
“Girl, you aren’t trying to poison me again, are you?”
Chu Feng looked at the pill, which he could not see through, and asked.
“Really, when have I ever harmed you? I’m only doing this for your own good. Hurry and take it. It’s something that will help you.”
Song Yun said.
“Fine, fine, fine. I’ll take it.”
Seeing her insistence, Chu Feng had no choice but to accept the pill and put it in his mouth.
Once the pill entered his mouth, Chu Feng realised it went straight into the depths of his soul.
Then a strange aura began to sweep through his entire body. It felt as if it was trying to fuse with him.
However, the fusion process was quite slow.
“Girl, what exactly is this?”
Chu Feng asked.
“It’s definitely a good thing. It needs some time to digest. Once it’s fully absorbed, you’ll thank me.”
“Alright, Brother Chu Feng, I’m leaving.”
Song Yun waved with a cheerful smile, then walked straight out through the stone gate.
“This girl, always so mysterious.”
Chu Feng watched her leave, shook his head helplessly, then checked the pill inside his body again. Finding nothing unusual, he stopped examining it and continued deeper into the rocky cave.
What Chu Feng did not know was that what he had swallowed was actually the Holy Healing Pearl.
However, it was not a pure Holy Healing Pearl, because Song Yun had fused another material into it.
Although Song Yun had walked out of the stone gate with a smile, the moment she left Chu Feng’s sight, her expression immediately turned dark and gloomy.
