Six Paths Domain, Yuan Yin Realm.
At the heart of the central mountain range stood an altar. At its center rose a massive source root pillar, with Yin-Yang and Devouring Law swirling around it.
Two graceful women were bound atop the colossal pillar by chains condensed from laws. They looked utterly disheveled, their faces pale.
The two graceful women were Tang Yao and Green Bamboo.
Since Zhang Xuan had left the realm to fight at the outer wall and had not returned for a hundred years, the two women had grown worried and left the realm to search for him.
Yet after leaving, they discovered that the surroundings were tranquil and the great battle had long since ended.
Zhang Xuan, however, was nowhere to be found.
After exchanging a few words, they went farther away to search for Zhang Xuan.
Unexpectedly, while passing through the western region of the Six Paths Domain, they were spotted by an evil figure.
He secretly followed the two women for a long time before finally revealing himself and extending his wicked hand toward them.
He deceived them, claiming that he had seen Zhang Xuan and that Zhang Xuan was currently in the Yuan Yin Realm.
In their innocence, they believed him and followed him to the Yuan Yin Realm.
Yet the moment they stepped into the Yuan Yin Realm, two dark-red streams entered their bodies. Their vision went black, and they fainted. When they awoke, they found themselves bound to a huge, bizarre pillar.
They invoked their laws in an attempt to break free, only to discover that their cultivation had been sealed. At that moment, they were no different from ordinary mortals.
Not only that, but a force of Devouring surged from within the giant pillar, devouring their Spirit Sources and Origin Essences.
