Mao Youqiu said solemnly, "If my Heavenly Mystery Realm is ever in trouble in the future, you must come to my aid. This condition is easy, isn't it?"

As he spoke, Mao Youqiu looked at Ziyue and Lanhua, but completely ignored Baxia.

In his view, Zi Yue was already a quasi-emperor, with strength comparable to his own, and her combat power was not a problem.

As for Lan Hua, this boy has great potential and his future achievements will be no less than mine; he is a promising talent.

Zi Yue chuckled, "It seems the Lord has offended someone, huh? He's even thinking about protecting his hometown now!"

Mao Youqiu was somewhat embarrassed, but because he was wearing a mask, outsiders couldn't see his predicament.

With a long sigh, Mao Youqiu said, "There's no way around it. If you specialize in divination, you're bound to expose the secrets of some powerful people, which makes it easy to offend others."

"As for myself, my abilities are rather weak!"

"In order to better serve more people in the future, we have to find a way to protect ourselves. Otherwise, who will you ask for help from in the future? Don't you think so, beautiful lady?"

Zi Yue nodded.

"I agree to these terms!"

"I hope your enemy isn't a king-level expert, otherwise I won't be able to protect you!"

Mao Youqiu coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment and laughed, "You should be able to block it!"

Zi Yue raised her beautiful eyes slightly, "Please tell me how to enter!"

Mao Youqiu nodded, "However, before I tell you, I must make it clear that this is only the method to get in, but whether you can get in depends on your luck!"

"knew!"

Mao Youqiu immediately sat cross-legged, his body radiating a seven-colored glow, and slowly rose up, suspending himself in mid-air.

He muttered incantations and made hand mudras, changing them several times in succession.

Lan Hua and the other two knew that Mao Youqiu was using the Heavenly Secret Technique to find a way to enter the River of Separation.

Something's not right!

Lan Hua suddenly said.

Zi Yue raised an eyebrow. "Little Hua, what do you say?"

Lan Hua stared at the Yuan energy surrounding Mao Youqiu and transmitted her voice, "I feel that this Yuan energy is slightly familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere before!"

"Brother Ba, you're most sensitive to auras, do you have this feeling?"

Baxia carefully examined the sensation and nodded slightly.

"It does feel a little familiar, but I don't know where I met it before. If I run into it again, I'm sure I'll recognize it!"

Lan Hua asked, "Yue'er, where does this Mao Youqiu come from?"

"Naturally, he comes from the Celestial Realm. I think I told you before that this person is from the Celestial Realm, and it was with the help of the Tantai family that this Seeking Tower was built!"

Lan Hua shook her head. "I've never encountered such an aura in the Heavenly Realm. Perhaps I haven't experienced enough!"

After a long while, Mao Youqiu slowly finished his practice, and all the seven-colored light was absorbed into his body.

"I apologize for keeping you all waiting!"

He spoke a simple sentence, but his voice was weak, as if he had used up a lot of his energy just now, and there was a trace of fatigue on his face.

However, with the masks covering their faces, Lan Hua and the other two did not notice anything amiss.

Unbeknownst to the public, once the Heavenly Secret Technique is used, it may reveal heavenly secrets, thus causing certain harm to the caster.

"It's nothing. It's truly an honor to witness the Lord of the Pavilion use the Heavenly Secrets Technique today!" Zi Yue said calmly.

Mao Youqiu said, "The true entrance to the River of Separation is in one of the several lower realms. The lower realm you are most familiar with is the Half-Heaven Realm!"

"The entrance is located a hundred kilometers above the sky in the eastern section of the Half-Heaven Realm, but the method of knocking on the gate is very special; it requires a transmission talisman!"

"A sound transmission talisman? I know how to do that!"

Lan Hua exclaimed in surprise, "They actually want this thing too!"

Mao Youqiu said, "These are the locations and methods. Whether you can get in depends on your luck!"

"Thank you!" Zi Yue nodded slightly.

"No need to be polite, don't forget our agreement!" Mao Youqiu reminded him.

"That's natural!"

After everyone left the Heavenly Mystery Realm, Zi Yue said, "Now you know why the Heavenly Mystery Realm is so small, right? It's because Mao Youqiu created it himself."

However, his cultivation level was only at the Quasi-Emperor realm. Even with the aid of a heaven-defying technique like the Heavenly Secrets Technique, the world he constructed was still incomplete!

"I see!"

Lan Hua suddenly realized, "It seems that to create a complete small world, one still needs the power of an emperor!"

Without stopping, the three returned to the Half-Heaven Realm and flew upwards along the River of Separation until they reached a point a hundred kilometers away.

Looking out from the horizon, the River Geshi still seems endless, like the Milky Way in the sky.

The water is so clear that the Geshi River is completely invisible at night.

Even during the day, the River of Separation is not easy to spot, which is why Lan Hua was completely unaware of it when she first arrived in the Half-Heaven Realm.

Lan Hua summoned a sound transmission talisman and cast it on the river, causing the water to remain still.

Baxia said, "Why is there no reaction at all?"

"No rush!"

Lan Hua activated the talisman's power, and the transmission talisman pierced through the River of Separation, causing the river water to tremble.

After a while, the water in the Geshi River began to throb violently, as if it were boiling.

After this strange phenomenon occurred, no other strange phenomena appeared in the River of Separation, which puzzled the three of them greatly.

Baxia whispered, "Could it be that we're not destined to meet and can't enter the River of Separation?"

Zi Yue sighed softly, "That's possible!"

Throughout history, very few people have been able to enter the River of Separation. It's normal that we don't have the opportunity!

Just as Lan Hua was about to give up, the sound transmission talisman suddenly fluctuated, and then a voice came out from the talisman.

"Who dares disturb my peaceful meditation?"

Lan Hua and Zi Yue exchanged a glance, both delighted, and quickly said:

"This humble one, Lan Hua, wishes to enter the River of Separation for training. I hope you will grant me permission, senior!"

The voice came again, "The River of Separation never allows outsiders to enter. There are countless places to train in this world. Go train elsewhere. Quickly remove the communication talisman and do not disturb my meditation!"

Zi Yue bowed and said, "Senior, we are going in to train for the sake of all living beings. Please make way!"

Her voice was very sweet, but the other person didn't give her any face.

Baxia tried to say, "Senior, please let us in for the sake of my Dragon Emperor father!"

"Oh? The Dragon Emperor!"

The people in the River of Separation seemed to have a slight interest in the Dragon Emperor, giving Lan Hua and Zi Yue a glimmer of hope.

"Even if the Dragon Emperor came, he couldn't get in!"

Everyone was speechless; the person inside was completely unyielding and difficult to deal with.

"Get out of here, or I'll have to make my move!" the person inside threatened.

Lan Hua clasped his hands and said, "Senior, is it possible that besides you, no one else can enter the River of Separation?"

"That's true, but there is one exception, though he hasn't contacted me in a long time!"

Lan Hua keenly sensed that the person being mentioned was special, and quickly thought of someone.

"Are you referring to the Pill Heaven Emperor, senior?"

"Kid, you're pretty smart!"

Lan Hua said, "To be honest, Senior, the Pill Emperor has been missing for tens of thousands of years. I'm afraid you will never see him again!"

The person inside was clearly taken aback.

"Didn't Emperor Dan go to the second level of the Heavenly Realm and never return?"

“That’s right, I am a successor of the Pill God Temple, and it was the Temple Master who told me!” Lan Hua said.

The person inside remained silent for a long time.

"You just said you are a successor of the Pill God Palace?"

Lan Hua nodded and said, "This humble one is indeed a successor of the Pill God Palace!"

The person inside sighed, "Very well, since you are disciples of the Pill God Palace, I will make an exception and let you in!"
