Dimensional world.
Before Daofeng Mountain.
"Aside from looking a bit peculiar, this mountain doesn't seem to have anything special about it?"
Lin Bai looked at the not-so-short Daofeng Mountain in front of him, and apart from its somewhat peculiar shape, he couldn't see anything particularly unusual about it.
Judging from Chi Chen's previous words, it was clear that this Blade Peak Mountain was no ordinary mountain.
But if it weren't an ordinary mountain, why would the mysterious kingdom abandon such a special place? Shouldn't they have stationed a large number of troops to guard it?
Moreover, there were no personnel from the four war zones around here. Could it be that only Chi Chen knows about the unique features of Blade Peak Mountain?
But how did Chi Chen know that?
The closer Lin Bai got to Daofeng Mountain, the more doubts he had.
Now, Lin Bai couldn't help but feel a different kind of emotion.
Lin Bai gradually felt a sense of unfamiliarity with Chi Chen now.
This sense of unfamiliarity didn't mean that the relationship between the two had become distant, but rather that Lin Bai felt that Chi Chen seemed to have many more secrets that he didn't know.
"What should we do now?!"
Qingsheng glanced at Daofeng Mountain, then turned to Chi Chen and asked.
"Let's go up the mountain first!"
Upon hearing this, Chi Chen turned his gaze away from Daofeng Mountain, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
The group of seven, led by Chi Chen, began their ascent up Daofeng Mountain.
Daofeng Mountain is steep and mostly made of loose rocks. There is only one narrow, treacherous path leading up the mountain, but this is of course no obstacle for Chi Chen and his group of seven.
About an hour later, Chi Chen finally stopped walking.
Lin Bai, Qing Sheng, and the others looked down and saw that they had already climbed between the two giant rocks that protruded like knife handles.
"This is it!"
Chi Chen looked at a stone wall in front of him, stepped forward and touched the cold surface, as if searching for something.
"It's been too long; it seems He no longer exists!"
Chi Chen muttered to himself, "There has been no danger along the way, and now that we have arrived here, there is still no movement. It seems that the original owner of Blade Peak Mountain has long since passed away with the passage of time."
Come to think of it, if He still existed, this Blade Peak Mountain might not even be here now.
Under the somewhat puzzled gazes of the crowd, Chi Chen explored the stone wall for a while before stopping at a certain spot.
Then, a paintbrush appeared in Chi Chen's hand. Chi Chen's expression suddenly became serious. With a flick of his wrist, the paintbrush began to move continuously across the stone wall.
However, the brush moved slowly across the stone wall.
It seemed that Chi Chen needed to expend a great deal of energy with each stroke.
Time passed, and more than an hour later, a complex magic array gradually took shape on the stone wall thanks to Chi Chen's continuous efforts. At this moment, Chi Chen was covered in sweat and his face was pale.
Chi Chen's mental energy was almost completely depleted.
Yes, the ink that drew the magic circle was formed from Chi Chen's spiritual power.
"Still too weak!"
Looking at the nearly completed magic array before him, Chi Chen sighed slightly, mustered his last bit of spiritual strength, and began to write.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
On the stone wall, a flash of light appeared the instant the magic array was completed.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, a portal appeared on the stone wall.
Are you alright?
Hu Miaomiao reacted quickly, stepping forward to support Chi Chen, who was about to collapse due to the immense depletion of his mental energy.
"It's nothing, just a little exhausted. I'll be fine after a short rest!"
Chi Chen shook his head weakly, indicating that he was alright.
"Place your hands on the yin-yang symbol in the center of the portal, and then infuse it with your spiritual power. You will then be able to enter the portal. You may spend a long time there, or you may only stay for a few days. It all depends on you. Once inside, remember to maintain your true self and do not be misled by any illusions, otherwise you may stay inside forever and never be able to get out!"
Chi Chen looked at Lin Bai, Qing Sheng, Xiang Ming, Gan Yuan, and Wang Hao, and said with a somewhat serious expression.
Time has passed, and Chi Chen is not sure what is happening behind that gate now. However, he is certain that Lin Bai and the others will not be in danger inside.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought Qingsheng and the others here.
"Aren't you and Miaomiao going in?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai looked at Chi Chen.
Chi Chen didn't explain much, shook his head, and simply said:
"I also have places I need to go, and I hope you'll surprise me next time we meet!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai fell silent.
The group celebrating the birthday was extremely quiet. They hadn't expected that they, who had just reunited, would have to part ways again.
"Okay, don't be so sad, it's not like we're never going to see each other again!"
Seeing this, Chi Chen first smiled helplessly, then his expression became somewhat serious and solemn as he said:
"I'm sorry I can't tell you too much, but once you go in, you must work hard to improve your strength. We don't have much time left. If it weren't for the fact that the energy left inside is almost at its limit to support the five of you in improving your cultivation levels, it might be a little unfair to others to only let the five of you go in. But there's no other way. I, Chi Chen, am not a selfless person. All I want is to do my best to ensure that you can survive when that moment comes!"
Lin Bai, Qing Sheng, and the others were slightly taken aback upon hearing this, noticing the moment that Chi Chen mentioned.
It seems that something terrifying is indeed about to happen.
"Chi Chen, wait for us to come back!"
After a slight pause, Lin Bai smiled at Chi Chen. This time, it was Chi Chen's turn to wait for them.
Lin Bai didn't say another word. He walked to the portal on the stone wall, placed his hands on the yin-yang fish in the center, and poured his spiritual power into it.
Then, under everyone's gaze, the magic circle lit up with a burst of light, and Lin Bai's body was enveloped in the light for a moment. When the light dissipated, Lin Bai's figure also disappeared from the spot.
Then Xiang Ming stepped forward and looked at Chi Chen:
"Chi Chen, when you go back to Blue Star, remember to tell my grandfather that I will definitely impress him when I return!"
Then Xiang Ming also disappeared in front of the gate.
Next came Gan Yuan and Wang Hao. Apart from the few people present, they weren't really close friends. Without saying much, they disappeared in front of the gate.
"Um... help me... never mind!"
After everyone had entered the gate, Qing Sheng hesitated for a moment before asking Qing Chen to pass on a message to someone, but in the end, he just sighed and didn't say anything.
"I'll tell Sister Qing!"
Just before Qing Sheng's figure disappeared, Chi Chen suddenly spoke.
Qingsheng chuckled to himself. Was his behavior really that obvious?
The five people disappeared one after another before the gate. Chi Chen looked at the red moon that seemed so close, and a look of disgust appeared on his face. Then, Chi Chen waved his arm, and the magic array on the stone wall disappeared, returning to its original state.
"If I could, I would rather none of you came back. Perhaps then you could escape this calamity!"
Chi Chen murmured to himself, and after resting, he went down the mountain with Hu Miaomiao.
Next, he should go and do what he needs to do.
