Subsequently, Chu Feng set off together with Song Xi and the other nineteen disciples from North Xuan Courtyard, making a total of twenty people heading towards Snow Domain Heavenly Peak.
For this training, the elders did not participate, so only the disciples travelled together.
However, the atmosphere along the way was rather strange.
At first, some disciples had taken the initiative to speak with Chu Feng, because they saw that the elders valued him highly and wanted to curry favour with him.
But after Song Xi gave a light cough, those who had started talking to Chu Feng abruptly swallowed their unfinished words.
That cough was naturally a warning.
As for Chu Feng, he naturally noticed that something was off with Song Xi.
Even though Chu Feng had previously helped Song Xi out of a difficult situation, Song Xi seemed not to appreciate it. Instead, his hostility towards Chu Feng grew even stronger.
If the earlier Song Xi would still pretend a little and find excuses, then now his dislike for Chu Feng was laid bare.
But Chu Feng did not blame Song Xi. Even if Song Xi had changed, Chu Feng would not forget the friendship between them.
If Song Xi turned back from his wrong path one day, Chu Feng could let bygones be bygones.
Of course, if Song Xi continued like this, Chu Feng would absolutely not keep offering warmth to someone who treated him coldly.
If it really came to that, it would be inevitable for the two of them to grow distant.
But no matter what, the fault was not with Chu Feng.
Chu Feng had never thought of seizing Song Xi’s position in North Xuan Courtyard.
If Song Xi insisted on misunderstanding, Chu Feng had no way to stop him.
So during the rest of the journey, the twenty people from North Xuan Courtyard hardly communicated or interacted beyond the necessities of travel.
The atmosphere was truly unpleasant.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Feng and the other disciples had already left North Xuan Courtyard and entered a vast plain.
At first, the plain was covered with endless wild grass.
But as they advanced, a chill gradually rose, and the grassland was replaced by a snowfield.
Not long after stepping onto the snowfield, a mountain peak came into view for Chu Feng and the others.
This peak was rather peculiar. Although it stood within a mountain range, the range itself was not very high, while this particular peak towered extraordinarily tall.
It looked like a sharp sword thrust into the mountain range, majestic and imposing.
That… was Snow Domain Heavenly Peak.
The entire mountain range around Snow Domain Heavenly Peak was sealed by a barrier.
Only one barrier gate allowed entry.
As a world spiritist, Chu Feng particularly liked observing things, especially places with barriers. He enjoyed studying them even more.
Because often, by observing the strength of a barrier, one could roughly judge the level of the person who set it up.
The barrier around Snow Domain Heavenly Peak was visible to the naked eye, but it did not appear particularly strong. It looked like a rippling water surface turned into a standing mirror that enveloped the peak.
Yet after just one glance, Chu Feng sensed that this barrier was far from simple.
After careful observation, he was truly shocked.
“This… what kind of person’s technique is this?”
Chu Feng’s heart trembled intensely.
He had travelled far and wide, visited many ruins, and could be said to have seen the world.
But he… had never seen such an impressive technique as the barrier before him.
This barrier appeared ordinary, yet its solidity surpassed imagination.
Chu Feng could not even guess what realm the person who set up this barrier had reached.
But because that power felt so distant and so overwhelmingly shocking.
Chu Feng felt that even a Divine Robe World Spiritist might not possess such skill.
And if it was not a Divine Robe World Spiritist, then it could only be a True Dragon World Spiritist.
True Dragon World Spiritists were existences comparable to True God realm experts.
They were beings capable of truly destroying heaven and earth, annihilating an entire world with a single thought.
At least for the current Chu Feng, such existences were like myths, utterly unreachable.
Could Wolong Martial Sect really have such a terrifying expert?
“Senior brothers, who set up this barrier that guards Snow Domain Heavenly Peak?”
“Was it the founding ancestor, or someone else?”
Driven by curiosity, Chu Feng asked the senior brothers from North Xuan Courtyard.
This was the first time during the journey that Chu Feng had taken the initiative to speak and ask a question of the North Xuan Courtyard disciples.
But after Chu Feng spoke, no one answered. Instead, those people all turned their gazes towards Song Xi.
It was clear that although Chu Feng was now highly regarded by the elders, in the hearts of these disciples, Song Xi’s status remained extremely high. They did not dare to go against Song Xi’s wishes.
As for Song Xi, he pretended not to hear Chu Feng’s words and kept his gaze fixed straight ahead.
Normally, Chu Feng’s situation at this moment would have been awkward.
But Chu Feng acted as if nothing had happened, withdrew his gaze, and continued observing the barrier.
He truly did not care. The current Chu Feng was no longer the young boy from before. Although his fiery spirit remained, his mindset had grown much stronger.
“Hey, isn’t this our Wolong Martial Sect’s strongest genius, junior brother Chu Feng?”
Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind.
It turned out that the disciples from South Sparrow Courtyard had coincidentally arrived as well.
Fang Yunshi and Bi Jingjing were among them.
And the words just now had come from Fang Yunshi.
However, Fang Yunshi’s tone was not praise at all, but mockery and sarcasm.
“Junior brother Chu Feng, this won’t do.”
“How is it that when you ask a question, no one answers you?”
“If everyone ignores you, then it must not be everyone’s problem, but your own problem.”
“Senior brother advises you, although your talent is good, you cannot become arrogant just because you are favoured. You need to maintain good relations with your fellow disciples.”
Fang Yunshi sped up, flew over through the air, and came close to Chu Feng. Although he wore a smile, his expression was truly ugly.
Facing such a Fang Yunshi, Chu Feng first gave a faint smile before speaking.
“What I, Chu Feng, am like is none of your bloody business.”
These words were not sent secretly. Everyone heard them clearly.
“You!!!”
Fang Yunshi had a fiery temper. Being publicly contradicted by Chu Feng and spoken to so rudely, he naturally found it hard to endure.
“Junior brother Chu Feng.”
But before Fang Yunshi could explode, Bi Jingjing also came over.
Seeing Bi Jingjing’s gentle tone, Fang Yunshi realised the situation was not right and forcibly swallowed the words that had reached his lips.
“Most of the cultivation sites in Wolong Martial Sect have been perfectly preserved.”
“Only a small portion have been modified due to special circumstances.”
“And Snow Domain Heavenly Peak is one that has been perfectly preserved. Everything here bears the handiwork of the founding ancestor.”
Bi Jingjing said to Chu Feng.
“Senior sister Bi, I have only recently joined Wolong Martial Sect and do not know much about it. If my words are presumptuous, please forgive me.”
Chu Feng said to Bi Jingjing.
“Junior brother Chu Feng, if you want to know anything, just ask me.”
Bi Jingjing was quite perceptive and noticed that Chu Feng had something to ask.
“May I ask, what kind of existence was our founding ancestor exactly?”
Chu Feng asked.
“Junior brother Chu Feng, I am afraid I cannot help you with this question.”
“Because no one knows who the founding ancestor was.”
“Even the successive sect masters do not know who the founding ancestor of our Wolong Martial Sect was.”
“So regarding our founding ancestor, not only do you want to know who he was. Probably every elder and disciple in Wolong Martial Sect, including those predecessors who are no longer with us, also very much want to know.”
Bi Jingjing said.
