The Emperor listened to Chen Feng's words, smiled with relief, and said, "Indeed, I was not mistaken in you. In today's world, there are but a few who possess your mindset and breadth of spirit."
"The Emperor flatters me," Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Let's then discuss serious matters," the Emperor said, becoming slightly stern. "The masterless lands of the northern boundary still hold many secrets. Have you come to understand this?"
"What do you mean?"
"It seems you are not yet aware," the Emperor said. "The experts I've sent have found that those who come from beyond the heavens nearly all descend into the masterless lands, and from there, they move towards the ten countries. After a thorough investigation, we discovered that these lands hide a heavenly gate, which connects to the world beyond the heavens. We call it the Northern Heavenly Gate."
"I understand," Chen Feng replied. "You mean you wish for me to guard the Northern Heavenly Gate?"
