"Not from the Twelve Tribes? Could he be from the Immortal Realm? But how did they enter the Lesser Heavenly Realm?"
"The passage between the Lesser Heavenly Realm and the outside world has been sealed for millions of years. No one has ever entered from outside!"

"Fellow Daoist Xiong, you must give us an explanation!"
Feng Yan also stared at Xiong Sanzang as he spoke coldly.

Countless people throughout the Immortal Realm were searching for Heavenly Emperor Tokens. Rumor had it that possessing one allowed entry into the Heavenly Emperor Treasure, and even
