When Liu Ruyan arrived at the side of a grave.
A wisp of black smoke silently rose from the grass on the ground, as if it were alive, slowly spreading towards her feet...
This thing is very strange.
It was exactly the same as a living thing.
Just as Liu Ruyan began to sense something amiss, it hid in the grass, scrutinizing her reaction from below.
He merely frowned slightly and continued walking.
The wisp of black smoke emerged from the grass once more, crouching low like a cheetah hunting its prey, inching closer and closer to Liu Ruyan...
When it was half a meter away, the wisp of black smoke seemed to get excited.
The Yin-Yang Creation Body, one of the twelve immortal bodies and known as the top-tier furnace body for cultivators, has appeared here.
This is truly divine intervention!
Confined to this place for tens of thousands of years, they have finally found a chance to escape today.
Without a word, the wisp of black smoke accelerated suddenly like a cheetah and pounced!
However, the result was like hitting a solid wall.
A star map suddenly lit up on Liu Ruyan's body, forming a solid shield that blocked her.
The sudden impact of that wisp of black smoke only stirred up ripples on the surface of the shield.
"This is... the power of the stars!"
The wisp of black smoke was also astonished!
Just then, the Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Jade Bell in Liu Ruyan's hand shot out a powerful and simple Profound Yellow Power.
In the blink of an eye.
The power of Xuanhuang transformed into a vast net, enveloping the wisp of black smoke—
The wisp of black smoke was terrified and tried to disappear into the ground.
As a result, I saw stars.
The ground shimmered with a layer of yellowish-brown light, as if someone had cast a spell on it sometime during the day.
That wisp of black smoke seemed to weep but had no tears.
It's all over!
Once you're out, you can't go back!
At this moment, the power of Xuanhuang pressed down like Mount Tai crushing an egg.
It was like an overturned giant bowl, trapping the wisp of black smoke inside.
Liu Ruyan, who had been completely bewildered, suddenly turned her head and stared down at the trapped creature with a condescending air.
After realizing it was just a wisp of black smoke...
A barely perceptible glint of interest flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Through the perception of the spirit of the jade bell.
She initially thought someone was secretly following her, but to her surprise, it turned out to be a wisp of black smoke.
"What exactly are you?"
The wisp of black smoke did not respond; it simply tried its best to crash into the barrier constructed by the power of Xuanhuang.
Upon seeing this, a strange look flashed across Liu Ruyan's eyes.
This thing is actually alive!
It appears to be neither a remnant soul nor divine consciousness; what exactly is it?
Perhaps it's because they realized they couldn't break through.
The wisp of black smoke gave up struggling, raised its eyes, and looked at Liu Ruyan, who was curiously examining it.
In an instant, Liu Ruyan heard an extremely dignified old man's voice boom in her mind!
"Little girl, you don't know your own limitations, you've already caused a huge disaster!"
"Hurry up and release me immediately!"
"Otherwise, once my crippled body is revived, I will surely tear you to pieces!"
"Old Deng, don't be so arrogant! Do you think you have the initiative?" Liu Ruyan's face was ashen, and her red lips parted slightly.
"Young lady, don't be so arrogant. I am a highly skilled cultivator, and you can't hold me for long!"
The old man's voice came once again.
However, his tone clearly revealed a hint of guilt.
This caused an indescribable light to flash in Liu Ruyan's eyes.
She replied calmly, "Oh? Is that so?!"
"Then continue."
After saying that, she once again urged the jade bell in her hand.
A wisp of primordial energy continuously strengthened the barrier.
The primordial energy within the barrier transformed into long whips, lashing fiercely at the wisp of black smoke!
In an instant, the black smoke melted away like snowflakes, hissing and emitting black vapor.
The black smoke, which was originally three meters long, has now shrunk to about half a meter.
The aura of that wisp of black smoke was also much weaker than before.
The dense black aura above it had also become much thinner.
Sure enough, the old man's extremely weak voice echoed in Liu Ruyan's mind.
This time, there was no trace of threat or arrogance.
Instead, they pleaded desperately.
"Heroine, spare me! Please...please stop hitting me! I admit defeat!"
“I said I would tell you everything.”
Liu Ruyan remained expressionless and asked in a deep voice, "What are you?"
"I am a bound spirit trapped in this place. In the past, I was a giant of the Immortal King realm who had attained the Palace of Fate. I come from the Canglan Immortal Realm, which ranks among the top 500 in the Three Thousand Worlds."
The old man answered truthfully, "I died here because I failed to pass the test in the Wushi Cave Heaven, the place of inheritance."
"You're actually an immortal? This ancient cave is called the Boundless Cave Heaven?!"
Liu Ruyan frowned slightly, her expression showing a hint of surprise.
"Indeed, this ancient cave is the place where the Cloud Ancestor passed on his legacy. He was an ancient god from the primordial era."
"Ancient gods?"
“Anyone who reaches the Dao realm can be called an ancient god,” the old man explained.
"Above the Immortal Emperor realm, are there even higher realms?"
Liu Ruyan was astonished.
She originally thought that the Celestial Emperor was the strongest in the world!
Unexpectedly, there was another realm above it.
"Indeed, the realm above the Immortal Emperor, who is ordained by Heaven, is the Five Great Dao Realms, also known as the Nine Decays of Heaven and Man, namely the Void Dao, True Dao, Ancestral Dao, End of the Road, and Supreme Dao Realm."
"Then what level has the master of this Wushi Cave Heaven, Ancestor Yunxiao, reached?" Liu Ruyan asked in sudden realization.
"True Dao, Ancestor Yunxiao was the ancestor of a force called [Dao Palace] in the Eastern Wilderness Divine Domain during the Primordial Era. His strength ranked twenty-fifth on the Ancient God Ranking of the Xuanhuang Universe."
