Wang Hongyuan stood up, vanished from his spot in a flash, leaving a slight spatial fluctuation in his original location, before reappearing in the Danhe Valley.

The talismans above the Dan River Valley were still spinning.

Although he did not use the talisman, Wang Hongyuan felt that his primordial spirit was somewhat restless.

"Hmm? Strange, what kind of talisman is this?"

Lan Hua opened her eyes, waved her right hand, and the talisman disappeared. Wang Hongyuan's primordial spirit also calmed down.

"Palace Master, this is a true talisman that I have just comprehended, called the God-Shocking Talisman!"

Wang Hongyuan asked incredulously, "You really broke through to the True Talisman Master level?"

"good!"

Lan Hua remained calm.

"You've only been at the True Rank for a little over a month, yet you've already successfully comprehended True Runes and become a True Rune Master. You're probably the only one in the entire Heavenly Domain who could achieve that!"

At this moment, several more people arrived, including Chief Instructor Deng Xian'er, Grand Elder Xie Wujiu, and Chief of the Guardian Court Li Pengfei.

Ignoring their surprise and questions, Lan Hua looked at Wang Hongyuan and said, "Palace Master, I have a question for you!"

Wang Hongyuan was in high spirits and said boldly, "Speak!"

Lan Hua asked, "Where does the mist inside the black box in the forbidden area of ​​the Xuan Yu Dan Shen Temple come from?"

"Where did the piece of physical tissue preserved by the immortal race in the sealed land beneath the River of Separation of the Half-Heaven Realm originate?"

"More than a year ago, the underworld was invaded, and a strange mist suddenly appeared. Where did it come from?"

As soon as Lan Hua finished asking the question, Wang Hongyuan's face turned extremely ugly, as if he could eat people. The others also looked surprised.

"Lanhua, how did you know all this?"

Lan Hua did not avoid the Palace Master's gaze and said with a self-deprecating smile, "I'm just too lucky. I've run into everything I was supposed to and everything I wasn't supposed to."

It's a miracle I'm still alive! Lord, shouldn't you give me an explanation?

Wang Hongyuan glanced at everyone, and seeing that Deng Xian'er and the others had no objections, his expression softened, and he said:

"Come with me!"

Wang Hongyuan led everyone to the depths of the Danluo Mountains, where there was an altar that covered a vast area.

In the huge square, there is only one tall tower, with a total of seven floors.

"This tower houses the remains of past masters and powerful figures of the Pill God Temple; it is the most solemn place in the Pill God Temple!" Wang Hongyuan sighed.

Everyone bowed deeply to the high platform, and Lan Hua did the same.

"Come in with me!"

Wang Hongyuan led Lan Hua into the offering tower, while Deng Xian'er and the others stayed outside.

Upon entering the tower, Wang Hongyuan waved his right hand, and a passage suddenly appeared on the ground. There was a seal in the original place, which he casually broke.

Lan Hua was shocked by the power of the seal, as he had not discovered it at all, and at the same time, he was also shocked by the strength of the Palace Master's cultivation, which was achieved with just a casual wave of his hand.

The underground passage was very long, and the two walked for quite a while before arriving at an underground space.

Wang Hongyuan waved his hand again at the open space in front of him, and then a beam of cyan light shot out.

The scene before Lan Hua changed drastically. A huge humanoid creature suddenly appeared and lay motionless on the ground.

However, this creature was surrounded by a barrier and shrouded in mist.

Lan Hua immediately felt an invisible pressure like Mount Tai, and her breathing became somewhat difficult.

"That's incredible!"

The power of the barrier comes from a large array. The earth energy and spiritual energy of the Dan Shen Realm are continuously input into the array, transforming into the power of the barrier.

"What is this?" Lan Hua asked, her expression filled with disbelief.

The enormous creature in front of them looked somewhat like a human, with dark skin and two red horns on its head.

Although he was dead, Lan Hua could feel an overwhelming power that even a Xuan-level expert could not withstand.

Wang Hongyuan said in a deep voice, "Weren't you asking me why the Longevity Clan of the Separated World River in the Half-Heaven Realm was sealed? That piece of flesh tissue came from him!"

"This creature is clearly dead, so why can I still feel an unprecedented power, and even feel a desire to submit?" Lan Hua almost exclaimed.

"Because this is the corpse of a powerful figure at the Emperor level!" Wang Hongyuan said, making a startling statement.

Lan Hua exclaimed in surprise, "Where did he come from?"

Wang Hongyuan's lips curled into a slight smile. "You can guess!"

Lan Hua thought that she had never seen such a strange creature in the Heavenly Domain, unless it was outside the Heavenly Domain.

"Could it be that in the desolate wilderness, this is the only place I haven't ventured deep enough into?"

"Good lad, you actually dare to go into the Heavenly Wasteland. But there are no such creatures in the Heavenly Wasteland, at most some ancient mythical beasts!"

Lan Hua asked, "Then where did it come from?"

Wang Hongyuan did not answer, but instead extended his right index finger and pointed upwards.

As Lan Hua watched the Palace Master's actions, she suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

"Yes, when I was undergoing trials in the New Origin Realm, I encountered a giant beast called Taotie."

I once asked where it came from, and Brother Tao did the same thing!

"But now that the Palace Master has also made this move, it means that Brother Tao and this giant come from the same place!"

Lan Hua tentatively asked, "Could it be that they live in the clouds above the Heavenly Realm, but we can't see them normally?"

Wang Hongyuan shook his head and said, word by word, "From above the Heavenly Domain, that is, the second level of the Heavenly Domain!"

"The Celestial Realm...second level?"

Lan Hua was taken aback and quickly asked, "How come there's a second level to the Heavenly Realm? What's on the second level?"

Wang Hongyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know what's on the second floor because I've never been there, and I don't think I have the ability to do so."

"The second level of the Heavenly Realm was actually discovered by the Pill Emperor. After he achieved the throne, he accidentally discovered the second level and entered it alone."

"After he returned, we brought him back with us!"

Wang Hongyuan pointed to the giant in the barrier and said, "According to the Palace Master's records, when the Dan Tian Emperor returned, this giant was already dead, but a strange mist has always lingered around him."

"Anyone who absorbs this mist will go mad, whether they are mortal or celestial, it's all the same!"

"Although the Dantian Emperor was the greatest emperor of all time, he was helpless against this fog, so he brought the giant back to the Dantian Temple and sealed it under the altar."

He wanted to gather everyone's strength to solve the strange fog and find a way to overcome it!

"Given the relatively weak strength of the Xuan Yu Dan Shen Palace, they put the mist in a black box and entrusted it to the then Palace Master for safekeeping, hoping to find a way to counter it. But unexpectedly, the successive Palace Masters placed it in a forbidden area!"

Wang Hongyuan gave a wry smile and said, "The Dantian Emperor then traveled through the Three Thousand Worlds and discovered that the Longevity Clan in the River of Separation in the Half-Heaven Realm was proficient in the art of longevity, as well as the art of medicine and poison."

So they cut off a piece of tissue from the giant's body and gave it to the immortal race for research.

The Pill Heaven Technique sealed away the Longevity Clan to prevent any unforeseen events from causing chaos in the lower realms.

Lan Hua then realized that the seal in the River of Separation was actually created by the Heavenly Emperor Dan Tian.

With such power, it's no wonder they were able to alter the rules of heaven and earth, preventing even those in the sealed land from ascending to immortality.

"This is the source of the fog!"

Wang Hongyuan said, "As for the invasion of the Underworld, I suspect it was done by a powerful figure at the true source of the mist. As for why they did it, I have no idea!"

"Does he intend to destroy the Heavenly Realm and the Three Thousand Worlds?" Lan Hua asked.
