predecessors who had attempted to approach this mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, no matter what, they were unable to enter it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had clearly reached the foot of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how they walked forward,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it seemed as if the distance never shortened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, regardless of whether it was an illusion, at least from the perspective of that predecessor, the interior of the mountain was always burning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was burning with extreme intensity, appearing as a raging inferno.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, standing at the foot of the mountain, he could not feel a single shred of heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing this intelligence, Qin Feng and his group had also conducted an analysis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This red hill, shaped like a chicken,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was shrouded within a barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps there was a fold in space nearby protecting this hill,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>making it impossible for people to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The high temperature and terrifying power brought by the raging flames within the mountain\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were precisely what was being blocked by this barrier or spatial fold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were a barrier, they could still think of a way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because a barrier is, in fact, a type of formation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and as long as one studies it carefully, there is always a way to crack a formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the five of them, including Qin Feng, were all completely ignorant of formations,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beigong Yun was a master of formations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the kind of formation master who was almost on par with the experts of the older generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because of this that Beigong Yun had said at the beginning:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Beigong Shang’s strength was greater than his, after entering the Kaiyuan Secret Realm,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his own abilities were very likely to be more useful than Beigong Shang’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was referring to this skill in formations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for spatial folds, they were powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the ancient ruins that appeared suddenly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>or the various secret realms of all sizes existing within the various kingdoms,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>or the misty spaces that suddenly appeared in all directions of the Mobis Kingdom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>these mysterious things,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Mobis Kingdom and its surrounding kingdoms had never been able to fully investigate what they actually were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also could not understand the principles of spatial folds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only inferred from some ancient records that these were effects brought about by spatial folds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had brought it out, Qin Feng was not afraid of people knowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, once a secret is known by a second person, it is no longer a secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The risk of being leaked always exists,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>so Qin Feng never thought about keeping the Soul Chain a secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, he only intended to keep it secret to a certain extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, he did not intend to hide it from the Dean of Mobis Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although everyone was unaware of the situation inside the secret realm, their starting points were roughly the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the older generation of experts was certainly much more knowledgeable and experienced than them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, having Lin An stay with the Dean of Mobis Academy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and letting the Dean of Mobis Academy indirectly join their group chat,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>held very important significance for their exploration within the secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And according to the suggestion of the Dean of Mobis Academy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they were to split into two teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One team would search for useful opportunities and heavenly treasures,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and one team would explore the places that previous predecessors had failed to explore—this suggestion\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was exactly what Qin Feng had hoped for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, even though the red flame mountain before them sounded extremely sinister,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng and his group felt it wasn't that difficult to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they had a formation master among them, as well as a powerful external aid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you tell if there is a barrier or a spatial fold on it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng and Zhao Long certainly could not tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were truly completely ignorant of formations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Qin Feng had a very vivid imagination,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and knew the directions and even the concepts of many formations from various novels and television shows,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that was merely thinking about it in his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to real formations, he was completely in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the only person he could ask was Beigong Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I can't see anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before my eyes, this is just an ordinary mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I also don't feel any traces of special Qi flow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, either the level of this barrier is too high—so high that I have no way to comprehend it—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"or it is brought about by a spatial fold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, they had been quite confident, but who would have thought they would be dealt a heavy blow right from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beigong Yun, a formation genius who was not inferior to many older-generation formation masters,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>had actually failed to see anything at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extent to which he was in the dark was no different from Qin Feng and the others who were completely ignorant of formations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there had been even a trace of a clue, they could have thought of a way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing nothing at all,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then there was truly nothing anyone could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Dean of Mobis Academy, acting as an external aid, was at his wit's end when encountering such a situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, those who were truly not at their wit's end did not include Qin Feng, and did not even include Lin An.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eye of Truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This power that Qin Feng had once used in Bibabu City to find special badges—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>neither of them had forgotten it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing nothing at all—didn't that fit the conditions for using the Eye of Truth perfectly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could see even a little bit, Qin Feng would feel that using the Eye of Truth was a waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took only one second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng was forced to stop using the Eye of Truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And uncontrollably, he stumbled back a few steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even lost his footing and fell backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes felt as if they were being scorched by flames, causing him intense pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng's sudden change startled everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beigong Yun and Zhao Long, the two people present, hurriedly gathered around\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to check on Qin Feng's condition.\u003C\u002Fp>",1052,"2026-06-17T06:32:32.271Z","2026-06-17T06:54:06.241Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
