The group made their way to the fifth star.
This time, Chu Feng instructed the Huangfu Heavenly Clan to drive the warship instead of the Spirit God Clan. He had another mission for the Spirit God Clan—construct a reliable and powerful teleportation formation that could transport everyone to a fixed location when activated.
Chu Feng didn’t just sense the location of the fifth star, but he also sensed that the fifth star was different from the first four. The first four only posed a danger if the legacy inheritance failed, but the fifth star’s environment was inherently dangerous.
Worst of all, Chu Feng could sense the danger even from a far distance away, but he couldn’t determine what kind of danger it was.
“Chu Feng, does the legacy inheritance get increasingly harder?” Huangfu Shengyu asked worriedly.
“That seems to be the case, and the danger posed by the fifth star isn’t limited to the legacy. However, risk and reward come hand in hand. The greater the risk, the higher the rewards,” Chu Feng replied with a smile.
That only deepened Huangfu Shengyu’s frown.
“Don’t feel pressured, Brother Shengyu. We can leave this legacy to Song Yun,” Chu Feng said.
“Song Yun?” Huangfu Shengyu turned to Song Yun. “You’re... letting this miss decipher the fifth star?”
Even though Song Yun said she was going to do her part earlier, Huangfu Shengyu didn’t take her seriously. He had never heard of Song Yun, and due to the latter concealing her cultivation, he thought that she was far weaker than him.
That was why he thought he would have to bear the responsibility of inheriting the next legacy and was so nervous. He had seen how potent the other legacies were and wasn’t confident.
“Rest assured, she’s very strong.” Chu Feng turned to Song Yun. “Isn’t that so?”
“I’m not that strong, but I’ll accomplish anything big brother Chu Feng entrusts to me,” Song Yun replied with a smile.
Chu Feng suddenly narrowed his eyes.
“What’s wrong, big brother?” Little Fishy asked.
The others also looked at Chu Feng with tense faces, knowing he must have sensed something.
“Someone has begun deciphering the fifth star,” Chu Feng said.
“Ah?”
The crowd was astounded.
“Young friend Chu Feng, should we speed up? I can channel my bloodline power into the warship,” the Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief asked.
“There’s no need for that. The fifth star’s legacy isn’t that easy. He won’t be able to decipher it before we arrive. We can make it in time with our current speed.”
Chu Feng knew the Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief would have to pay a price by using his bloodline power, and there was no need for them to resort to that yet.
Eggy asked, “Chu Feng, which familiar face do you think we’ll meet this time?”
She wasn’t nervous in the least. Instead, she looked forward to learning who was the one deciphering the fifth star.
“Why are you so certain it’s a familiar face? It could be a coincidence,” Chu Feng replied.
“Give it a guess. Could it be Xian Miaomiao? The legacies aren’t limited by age, but the ones drawn to them are all juniors. Most talented juniors you know are already here; the only one left is Xian Miaomiao,” Eggy said.
“That seems to be the case, but I don’t think it would be that coincidental.”
Even though the circumstances suggested it wasn’t a coincidence, Chu Feng somehow felt like it could truly just be a coincidence.
“Chu Feng, why do you think it won’t be that coincidental? Tell me what you’re thinking,” Eggy asked.
“I just think both possibilities are equally likely. The Immemorial Cemetery may be targeting me by choosing seven individuals related to me to decipher the seven stars, but there is also a chance that the Immemorial Cemetery is just seeking the most suitable inheritor for the legacies lying in its countless tombstones.
“The Immemorial Cemetery’s master wields great power, and the world of cultivation is now imposed with many restrictions. It would make sense for him to search for suitable inheritors for these deceased ancestors. It just so happens that I’m acquainted with other talented juniors who are suited for the legacies,” Chu Feng voiced his analysis.
“Hmmm...” Eggy pondered over those words. “That makes sense.”
...
It was a long journey, but the fifth star finally came into sight.
The fifth star looked sinister, emanating a dangerous vibe even when observing it from afar. Most tombstone realms, no matter how they looked inside, appeared as massive tombstones outside, but this tombstone realm comprised two tombstones.
“Lord Chu Feng, we have completed our teleportation formation, but we’ll have to pay a price to channel it. In the meantime, we won’t be able to construct the formation to lend you our powers. However, if we encounter an enemy, we can still fight,” Shen Hui said.
“I’ll leave it to your discretion. If you sense something amiss, don’t hesitate to activate the teleportation formation and bring everyone to somewhere safe,” Chu Feng instructed.
“Understood.” Shen Hui nodded.
The warships rushed ahead, passing through the formation to enter the tombstone realm.
The tombstone realm was covered in white bones, which made it feel even more eerie. However, the crowd was more concerned about who was inheriting the legacy rather than the scenery.
The Spirit God Clan used their observation means to lock onto the target.
Someone was deciphering the formation, but that person wasn’t a human. He was eight meters tall and wore armor that seemed to be his skin. He was a monstrous beast.
“It’s him?” Chu Feng was surprised.
Eggy was right. It was a familiar face.
