"No need to look anymore, I'm right here!"

At this moment, a dark shadow appeared directly in front of Qin Feng and Mu Qingxue.

The shadowy figure was shrouded in a cloud of black mist, and only a human figure could be vaguely seen.

Qin Feng and Mu Qingxue were both startled, staring at the dark figure with grave expressions.

Although the other party did not reveal any cultivation level, they still gave them a terrifying sense of oppression.

Qin Feng suspected that this person, even if not a Great Luo Golden Immortal, was at least a Celestial Immortal.

The existence of Celestial Immortals on Earth? That's insane!

If there is one, it means there may be a second, a third, or even more.

The shadowy figure seemed to have read Qin Feng's thoughts and spoke up. "I'm not what you think."

"I am nothing more than a fragmented consciousness!"

"I followed you out of the immortal ruins, and I'm the one who brought you into that secret spatial realm!"

Qin Feng frowned slightly. "Why did you do this?"

The shadowy figure smiled. "Young man, do you still remember that consciousness on the Heavenly Ladder?"

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Could you be that senior?"

Back then, on one of the steps of the Heavenly Ladder, he entered a space and challenged someone who became his opponent.

That opponent was a fragment of consciousness transformed into something else.

The other party not only gave him guidance, but also seemed to have told him something: the cataclysmic calamity.

The shadowy figure replied, "It's me!"

"This time I'm really going to disappear, but before I do, there are some things I need to tell you!"

"The cataclysmic disaster I mentioned to you does exist. Once someone opens the Tomb of the Heavenly Demon, the cataclysmic disaster will arrive!"

"As for where the Tomb of the Heavenly Demon is located, I do not know!"

"Therefore, I can only help you improve your strength as quickly as possible, so that once the Tomb of the Heavenly Demon is opened, the human realm will not be completely powerless to resist!"

"You make me very happy, reaching the peak of the Ascension Realm in such a short time."

"Although you are not yet a match for the Heavenly Demon, with the quasi-immortal artifact within you, you should at least have the strength to fight back."

Qin Feng and Mu Qingxue were both completely bewildered. The Tomb of the Heavenly Demon, the cataclysmic calamity, the human realm?

The shadowy figure paused for a moment, then continued, “Some of the myths and legends you know now are true.”

"Gods and immortals did indeed exist in ancient times!"

"And there are three realms: the Heavenly Realm, the Human Realm, and the Underworld!"

"The Celestial Realm is controlled by the ancient gods, the Human Realm consists of both humans and demons, and the Underworld, where the souls of the dead travel to their lost places, is controlled by the Witch Clan!"

"Whether it's the gods, the demons, or the witches, they all want to be the masters of the human world, thus triggering the world-ending war!"

"In order to ensure the continuation of the human race, powerful beings sacrificed their lives to sever the connection between the heavens and the underworld."

"From this day forward, people from the human realm can no longer reach the celestial realm, and people from the celestial realm can no longer come to the human realm!"

"As for the underworld, only the souls of the dead can reach it, but the witches of the underworld cannot come to the human world."

"The source of spiritual energy in the human realm is the celestial realm. After the celestial path was cut off, the source was lost, which eventually led to the decline of cultivators."

Qin Feng and Mu Qingxue were dumbfounded. This was too exaggerated! A world-shattering feat.

The ancient sages and great beings of the human race were so incredibly powerful.

However, this also severed the path to immortality for the human race!

If Qin Feng hadn't had some extraordinary stroke of luck, how could he have possibly cultivated to the peak of the Ascension Realm?

But what does what the shadowy figure is saying have to do with the Heavenly Demon?

The shadowy figure noticed Qin Feng's confusion and explained, "What I'm saying has a lot to do with the Heavenly Demon!"

"The Heavenly Demon is not a being of the Three Realms, and it is unknown which realm the demon comes from."

"This demon is powerful, at least at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm!"

"It took more than a dozen Immortal Emperors from the God Realm, the Human Realm, and the Underworld, along with hundreds of Immortal Kings, to seal it in the Human Realm."

"But don't worry, although this demon is not dead, his foundation has been severely damaged, and his cultivation level has at least dropped to the Celestial Immortal Realm!"

"And since he has been sealed away and unable to repair his origin, his strength will never increase!"

Qin Feng frowned slightly. "Since even you don't know where the Tomb of the Heavenly Demon is, I think your worries are a bit unnecessary."

The shadowy figure sighed softly. "You're oversimplifying things!"

"The Heavenly Demon will be discovered sooner or later. Perhaps it has already been discovered, but perhaps they just don't have the ability to open it!"

"But as the power of the seal weakens, it will be opened sooner or later."

"Even if no one discovers it, the Heavenly Demon will break the seal sooner or later!"

Qin Feng was frustrated. If that day really came, how could he, a mere Ascension Realm cultivator, defeat a Celestial Immortal?

As for the Dragon Cloud Sword, he dared not count on it at all. During the hundred years he spent in the spatial secret realm, he tried to communicate with or summon it countless times, but there was never any response.

The shadowy figure said gravely, “The Heavenly Demon is bloodthirsty. Once it breaks free from the seal, it will turn the human realm into a living hell, where no one will survive!”

"Oh no, my time's up!"

"Qin Feng, this is all I can do for you. I'm counting on you for the human realm!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark figure vanished, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Mu Qingxue was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "He's not trying to fool us, is he?"

"I don't find his nonsense very credible!"

Qin Feng glanced at Mu Qingxue. "Whatever, let nature take its course!"

"A hundred years have passed, and we don't even know if any of our relatives and friends are still alive?"

Mu Qingxue's expression darkened upon hearing this. "How many ordinary people can live to be over a hundred years old?"

"The people you know should still be alive, while my relatives and friends should all be gone."

Qin Feng didn't reply; he took out his phone from his storage ring.

Although a hundred years have passed in the secret realm, the phone has been switched off and kept in the storage ring. I don't know if it can still be used.

Qin Feng turned on the computer and was taken aback when he saw the date displayed on the screen. "What's going on? How come only a hundred days have passed?"

"Is the phone malfunctioning?"

Mu Qingxue glanced at Qin Feng. "Isn't that obvious?"

"It's been a century, and it's already a miracle that a cell phone can still turn on even when it's out of power!"

"Can it be done without malfunctioning?"

Qin Feng didn't reply; instead, he tried dialing Lan Lan's phone number.

With Lan Lan's talent, let alone a hundred years, even a thousand years would surely pass before this woman is still alive.

Lan Lan answered the phone quickly. "Heh, men, they don't know how to cherish what they've got, what a scumbag!"

Qin Feng ignored Lan Lan's sarcasm and asked directly, "What year and month is it now?"

"Why are you asking this? Are you out of your mind?" Lan Lan asked, somewhat shocked.

Qin Feng rolled his eyes. "Stop talking nonsense and answer my question. I want to prove something!"

"Why are you being so fierce?" Lan Lan snorted lightly, and then answered the question honestly.

Qin Feng was stunned when he heard Lan Lan's answer.

The date Lan Lan mentioned was the same as the date on his phone, meaning only one hundred days had passed.
