Mustard Seed Grotto-Heaven
She could only watch helplessly as everything about herself was laid bare before this man.
This feeling was more terrifying and humiliating than being killed outright.
This is a kind of utter nothingness, a complete stripping away and denial of the very essence of "existence."
Time seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye.
It felt as if millions of years had passed.
As Su Zhan slowly withdrew his finger.
Xue Ji's body went completely limp.
The last glimmer of light in her eyes faded completely and vanished.
She is not dead yet.
But her soul had been completely emptied.
He became a true "living dead," someone who only breathes and has a heartbeat.
Su Zhan closed his eyes and stood quietly in place.
The vast and complex information was rapidly categorized, organized, and archived in his mind by the power of the [Thunder Emperor Divine Seat].
The organizational structure of the Black Demon Sect...
The power and ambition of the Sect Master, "Lord of Ten Thousand Demons"...
The true purpose of the Blood Sacrifice Grand Formation...
The origin of that Sealing Formation High Antiquity Demon God...
Each piece of information appeared clearly in his mind.
It was much the same as he had predicted.
The Black Demon Sect does indeed intend to release that High Antiquity Demon God and then use the Demon God's power to rule the entire world.
A very old-fashioned, but very effective script.
Su Zhan wasn't particularly interested in these things.
He continued flipping through the pages.
Soon, he found what he truly wanted.
In the deepest part of Xue Ji's memory, in a corner that even she herself cannot easily touch due to a mental Restriction.
Su Zhan discovered a document containing the most crucial secrets about this "Secret Realm"!
So this so-called "Land of Fallen Gods" Secret Realm.
It's not an Ancient Battlefield relic at all.
It is itself a High Antiquity Divine Artifact of spatial nature, so enormous it defies imagination!
Its name is [Mustard Seed Grotto-Heaven].
Its purpose was not at all that of a prison for exiling criminals.
Rather, it was a "transfer station" used by a super sect in High Antiquity times for training disciples and conducting spatial teleportation!
As for the Demon God Sealing Formation here, he was merely an "add-on" that was casually suppressed during a great battle years ago.
And the Yuan Household...
A strange light flashed in Su-Zhan's eyes.
The ancestors of the Yuan Household were not jailers guarding the Demon God at all.
He was Elder Formation that super sect back then, responsible for maintaining the operation of the [Mustard Seed Cave Heaven]!
The reason why the Yuan Household bloodline remains here is not because of any Curse.
Rather, it is because their bloodline is imprinted with the "Key" to activate and control this [Mustard Seed Grotto-Heaven], granting them the highest authority!
The way to leave this Secret Realm is not to search for any fragile spatial nodes.
Instead, they headed to the very core of [Mustard Seed Grotto-Heaven], the central control hub— the Central Altar.
Then, using the Yuan Household bloodline with the highest authority as the "Key," the teleportation function of the entire [Mustard Seed Grotto-Heaven] is reactivated!
The reason why the Black Demon Sect went to such lengths to capture members of the Yuan Household and hold some kind of Blood Sacrifice Grand Formation because...
Their true purpose was not to release the Demon God.
Instead, they intend to use an evil blood sacrifice technique to corrupt the Yuan Household's bloodline Key, thereby forcibly seizing control of this [Mustard Seed Grotto-Heaven]!
Releasing the Demon God was merely the second step in their plan, or even just a smokescreen!
"I see..."
Su Zhan slowly opened his eyes, a look of understanding flashing in them.
Everything connected.
No wonder the Principle of this Secret Realm are so stable; it doesn't seem like a broken world.
No wonder the Black Demon Sect went to such lengths to set up three Altar with different attributes; it turns out they were trying to break through the outer defensive Restriction of the [Mustard Seed Grotto-Heaven].
No wonder the Yuan Household's bloodline is so special.
All the seemingly coincidental clues converged into a perfectly clear thread at this moment.
Just then...
A series of hurried footsteps came from afar.
