The Heavenly Emperor's Garden, Mount Huaijiang

Although they knew the whereabouts of the Immortal Imperial Army, the Savage Lands was truly vast and boundless. Compared to it, even the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou were just a small corner of it.

Even with Bai Qiuran's speed, it took him several days to find traces of the Immortal Imperial Army resting on a plain littered with corpses in the Savage Lands land.

However, after Wisdom Immortal's identification, the subsequent search was not difficult. Wisdom Immortal's Great Wisdom was not only useful in identifying Ruin, Cultivation Technique, and the Personal Identity, but it was also excellent for tracking.

Once he sees the traces, he can discern what they come from.

With the help of Wisdom Immortal, Bai Qiuran ventured deep into the Savage Lands, crossed the Soul-Ending River, and arrived at the Far Western Region of the world.

The traces of the Immortal Imperial Army disappeared before a mountain range. Bai Qiuran, holding Wisdom Immortal's head, looked up and found that the sky further west of this mountain range was completely shrouded in a black mist.

Although the sky over the Savage Lands was naturally gloomy, it wasn't as dark as this sky, so dark that it was impossible to see anything. The entire sky seemed to be divided into two worlds by this mountain range; the other side was pitch black, and even Bai Qiuran could hardly see what was inside.

He lifted Wisdom Immortal's head and asked, "Wisdom Immortal, what's the name of this mountain range?"

"This mountain range..."

Wisdom Immortal pondered for a moment.

"This mountain range was once known as Mount Huaijiang."

"What?"

Bai Qiuran taken aback.

He certainly remembered this mountain range. Back in the Divine Age, when Eastern Emperor Taiyi launched Purge against the Human Race while he was on his way to Return Ruins, those hostages were eventually gathered here for execution. The Heavenly Gods wanted to use this method to lure him out.

"Besides being the place where Eastern Emperor Taiyi set a trap for you, Mount Huaijiang has another special significance."

Wisdom Immortal said, "This place was once the Garden of the Heavenly Emperor Eastern Emperor Taiyi in the Mortal World, and he specially sent his right-hand man Yingzhao Shen to manage it."

"What kind of Garden requires one of the Heavenly Emperor's right-hand men, the Great God Yingzhao, to personally oversee it?"

Bai Qiuran looked at the mountain range in front of her and narrowed her eyes.

"Speaking of which, I don't recall seeing Yingzhao and Lu Wu during my final battle with Eastern Emperor Taiyi."

"In short, it definitely holds the secrets of Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the Heavenly Palace."

Wisdom Immortal said, "We'll find out if we go in... Come on, Old Bai, I can smell the secret! My curiosity is burning!"

At the same time, Yang Immortal Venerable had already led the Immortal Imperial Army deep into the mountains through the dense black fog.

The mist was filled with malice directed at Human Race and Immortals. From within the mist came the murmurs and wails of an unknown person. As the Immortal Army passed by, the mist surged and formed countless faces, their faces twisted with pain, frantically cursing and spitting at the Immortals.

Besides this spiritual pollution, the fog was also filled with corrosive and highly toxic substances. This fog seemed to be alive, constantly trying to invade the bodies of the Immortals. The entire Immortal Imperial Army had to exert all their Immortal Power to resist.

Yang Immortal Venerable instructed his troops to avoid looking at the demons and monsters deep within the fog, and to try to pass through this area as quickly as possible.

After more than an hour of travel, Yang Immortal Venerable finally led the entire Immortal Imperial Army through the Black Fog Zone and into the mountains within the black mist, following the instructions given by that being.

Unlike the black mist, the mountains within the black mist were more like a paradise, with real gold and silver scattered everywhere, and precious items such as Gold Essence Realgar readily available.

Even though the Immortal Realm has now become the leader of all worlds, drawing Spirit Qi energy from various worlds to sustain itself, it is rare for such a beautiful place to have evolved.

As soon as the Immortal Imperial Army entered this place, Yang Immortal Venerable immediately felt an unimaginably vast Spiritual Sense sweep over them and linger on their bodies.

Then, a voice came from the mountains.

"So it turns out to be the Azure Emperor's subordinates. Come in, just follow the mountain path."

Upon hearing this, the Adjutant looked at Yang Immortal Venerable.

"Do as he says."

Yang Immortal Venerable paused for a moment, then whispered, "Have the brothers prepare for battle and not let their guard down."

The soldiers of the Immortal Imperial Army gripped their Magical Artifact tightly.

Yang Immortal Venerable led his army up the wide mountain path, which meandered and then suddenly extended into a canyon between two mountain peaks.

Upon entering the canyon, the sky suddenly darkened. The soldiers descended the mountain path into the darkness, and before they knew it, they had arrived inside the mountain.

The entire interior of this mountain range has been hollowed out, creating a huge space within the mountain, which has then been expanded using special and ingenious methods.

Within this vast space, there were rows and rows of square water tanks, resembling Tomb.

The tank was filled with green liquid, and a Dark Shadows was vaguely wriggling inside it, but its exact shape was unclear.

As the group moved, some of the water tanks would suddenly burst into splashes, and then a fleshy, monster-like creature would leap out of the liquid.

After landing, the monster instantly grew and transformed into a new Demon Race. However, the Demon Race here did not attack them. They merely hissed at them before running into the darkness on all fours and disappearing from sight.

"So this is how the Demon Race came to be."

"Yang Immortal Venerable's Adjutant couldn't help but say."

"Do not listen, do not speak, do not ask."

Yang Immortal Venerable said to him.

The Adjutant immediately fell silent.

The group quickly passed through the eerie space and continued deeper inside, finally arriving at an incredibly spacious cave.

In the center of the cave stood a huge golden Throne, upon Throne sat a colossal, bizarrely Book of Questions Deity.

With the body of a horse, the face of a human, and stripes like those of a tiger, but with the Wings of a bird, this Giant God lowered its enormous head and gazed at them with a slightly interested look when it saw Yang Immortal Venerable and the others enter.

After the Immortal Imperial Army soldiers entered the cave, they remained where they were, except for Yang Immortal Venerable, who continued forward and arrived at the place in front of the Throne.

"Yang Immortal Venerable, under the command of the Eastern Azure Emperor."

He knelt on one knee, bowed his head to the Giant God on the Throne, and said, "Greetings Yingzhao."

"Please rise, Yang Immortal Venerable."

A strange smile appeared on Yingzhao's face. It asked, "The Azure Emperor sent you here, does that mean the time for our transaction has finally come?"

"Yes."

Yang Immortal Venerable took out the charred, square object and held it in his hand.

"According to the agreement between you and the Azure Emperor, the Azure Emperor has already obtained what he wanted; this is yours."

"Oh, I'm finally back..."

Yingzhao stretched out a hoof, wanting to touch the charred object, but at that moment, Yang Immortal Venerable suddenly withdrew his hand and put the object away.
