The thin mist slowly receded like the tide, revealing the sea of clouds and mountains it had concealed.
The once spotless white clouds, rolling and rising in endless waves, were now crisscrossed with battle scars. Chilling, venomous resentment and the clamor of surging waters were scattered everywhere, annihilating countless traces of immortal essence.
Zhou stood calmly by the little pond, his plain robes hanging low. In the pond, a nebula gathered and revolved, seemingly untouched by what had happened.
Across from him, the Dragon Race Crown Prince Qian Mang had vanished without a trace. An ivory-colored tablet lay on the ground.
Zhou beckoned, and the tablet immediately flew into his palm of its own accord.
Looking at the ancient tablet in his hand, Zhou shook his head slightly. He had actually been tricked...
Otherwise, the other party would not have escaped just now!
Still, since he had been able to use the immortal official Shang Shen, it was likely that the entire Qing Quan Realm Heaven had already fallen into the Dragon Race's hands...
As his thoughts turned, Zhou's form shifted. Features appeared on his blank face, and in an instant he had become the immortal official Shang Shen, just as he had been not long ago!
Starlight flickered in the pond, and Zhou vanished.

Qing Quan Realm Heaven.
Southwestern region.
Steep mountains piled up, surrounding an endless expanse of ocean.
The waters were vast and mighty, as broad as the sea, yet at their center surged a tremendous fountain!
The fountain rose like a solitary peak, soaring into the heavens and reflecting a clear, radiant light. Its imposing grandeur filled the land.
Water burst forth like waterfalls on every side, crashing down. Ripples spread across the surface, while thick, gauzy immortal qi dispersed and suffused the six directions.
