• Jiang Han investigated the Immortal Tomb and discovered it contained a Formation Core rather than a corpse, with the Long River produced by the formation and the Red Seed holding a trace of Hong Meng Qi.
• The Immortal Tomb shook violently as a powerful ancient aura emerged, while the cultivators fled and recognized Jiang Han as Ancestor Hongjun, causing the five great overlords to abandon their claim to the tomb.
