    Chapter 6018: The Ancient Era’s Ill Will


    Chu Feng didn’t leave straight away.


    While he was deciphering the barrier, he found not just the deeper deciphering method that led to him acquiring the talisman imprint but also another clue.


    An item located at the entrance had to be activated to attain the final power, or else everything would have been in vain.


    This was the clue Chu Feng had obtained from the other entrance, but now, he had stumbled upon the same clue here too, and it was hidden in such a discreet location. This made the clue seem even more credible to him.


    Thus, he decided to take a closer look at this realm to see if he could find the item. And Yuwen Yanri decided to travel with him.


    The two of them looked around, but they couldn’t find the item that had to be activated. Unable to find any other clues, they decided to enter the spirit formation gate and advance further.


    “Brother Yuwen, I noticed variables in this spirit formation gate. I suspect that we might be teleported to different ces if we enter at different times. So, I’m thinking that we should step in together to avoid such a situation from happening,” Chu Feng told Yuwen Yanri.


    “All right.” Yuwen Yanri walked over to Chu Feng’s side.


    The two of them entered the spirit formation gate at the same time. It felt like they were passing through a wall. They merely took a step forward, but the scenery before them changed.


    They were teleported from the cavern into a pce, and the spirit formation gate they had just stepped through vanished without a trace.


    This pce wasn’t too big, and there were two spirit formation gates before them. These two spirit formation gates were adorned with stones, and they looked divine. A que hung above the spirit formation gates.


    The one on the left wrote ‘Advance’. The one on the right wrote ‘Depart’.


    The ‘Advance’ spirit formation gate was closed, whereas the ‘Depart’ spirit formation gate was open.


    There were also stone pirs around them, and their shape and rtively shorter heights suggested that they were pedestals to put objects on disy, just that whatever objects that might have been previously ced on them were nowhere to be seen.


    Quite a few people were in the pce. Some of them were even familiar faces from the Nine Heavens’ Zenith, such as the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s Qin Xuan. However, all of them, be it men or women, were significantly injured, including Qin Xuan.


    As soon as Chu Feng and Yuwen Yanri walked out of the spirit formation gate, everyone in the pce turned to look at them.


    Chu Feng hadn’t bothered disguising himself since only juniors could enter this ce, so everyone recognized him with ease. As for Yuwen Yanri, even though he was wearing a veiled bamboo hat too, Qin Xuan was still able to recognize him right away.


    “Brother Chu Feng, Brother Yuwen, you’re here. It’s great to meet you two here,” Qin Xuan stepped forward and greeted the two of them. A delighted smile formed on his swollen face.


    The others gathered around Chu Feng and Yuwen Yanri too, but these people, unlike the cheerful Qin Xuan, looked more like indignant children. Some of them even burst into tears.


    “Chu Feng, you need to redress our grievances!”


    Hearing those words, Chu Feng turned to Qin Xuan and asked, “Brother Qin, what happened?”


    “I was useless. I have brought shame to the present-era cultivators,” Qin Xuan said with a sigh. “It’s the Ancient Era’s cultivators.”


    Neither Chu Feng nor Yuwen Yanri was surprised to hear that.


    ording to Qin Xuan, all of them were also teleported to a realm in groups of three after entering the spirit formation gate of God’s Era. Every realm had its level of difficulty, but all of them led to this pce after they were cleared.


    Thus, there were both present-era cultivators and Ancient Era’s cultivators in this pce.


    Initially, they steered clear of one another and simply did their own business, but everything changed when three Ancient Era’s juniors wearing red cloaks and red veils arrived.


    The first thing they did was to ask who was from the Ancient Era and who was from the present era, differentiating them. Then, they started taunting the present-era cultivators over nothing, and they finally revealed their true colors when a conflict broke out.


    The present-era cultivators who were provoked into making a move suffered severe injuries and nearly lost their lives.


    Following that, the three red-robed juniors went a step further and demanded all present-era cultivators to kneel subserviently to them. Those who refused to kneel would be taught a lesson.


    Some of them put down their dignity and kneeled. Perhaps it was because they felt humiliated, those people who kneeled decided to leave the pce after they were spared by those from the Ancient Era.


    Also, there were items ced on the stone pirs previously—empty tokens. None of them knew what the empty tokens were for, but they looked to be important. These empty tokens were sealed off by a barrier, but those barriers could be deciphered with either spirit power or martial power.


    However, the Ancient Era’s juniors kept the present-era cultivators away from the barriers. They deciphered the barriers themselves and monopolized all of the empty tokens.


    Furthermore, the ‘Advance’ spirit formation gate, initially closed, had opened after the final empty token was taken away from the stone pirs, but the spirit formation gate had a time limit, after which, it would close on its own ord.


    The red-robed Ancient Era’s juniors dered that the present-era cultivators hadn’t helped with deciphering the barriers, so they weren’t qualified to enter the ‘Advance’ spirit formation gate. So, they waited till the ‘Advance’ spirit formation gate was about to close before stepping in, not giving the present-era cultivators any chance to slip through.


    As a result, all of the present-era cultivators were stuck here.


    Those who had lost their fighting will or were too severely injured had already left. The only ones who remained here were the indignant ones.


    After learning about the situation, Chu Feng eyed the crowd around him.


    Those who were lucky had gotten off with just bruising on the face and bleeding from the head. Some had their hands and legs cut off. Some looked uninjured, but their bones were crushed to bits.


    Even the women were beaten to a pulp.


    This made Chu Feng think that the Ancient Era’s juniors were a bunch of beasts. This convinced him to intervene here even though they hadn’t directed their aggression at him thus far.
