The Silent Sage

After returning to his quarters, Chu Fei did not continue his seclusion. It was not because he had relaxed, but because there was too much to deal with. His conversation with Wu Yong had left his thoughts churning, impossible to calm.

Then Chu Fei, Jiang Shumin, and the three Great Protectors used telescopes to observe the distant Star Secret Realm.

At this moment, beams from searchlights on the ground shot straight into the sky. At an altitude of more than three thousand meters, a large number of airships had appeared, their bright lights shining down as well.

Under the brilliant illumination, every detail of the Star Secret Realm was visible, though it still looked like a mass of dark clouds.

Time slowly reached 22:42, and the dark clouds shrouding the Star Secret Realm began to disperse.

Soon, more than half of the "dark clouds" in the sky had scattered, finally revealing a bubble-like structure. Within the bubble, a flat golden pyramid-like building could vaguely be seen.

Including its broad outer rim, however, the interior structure looked more like a straw hat—albeit one with a pointed crown.

The bubble was divided into two halves. The lower half consisted of rolling dark clouds, thick as ink.
