The “Myriad Laws Ruler” revealed that the bottle was part of the True Blood Royal Crown, then led his men inside to pursue Nie Yun.

After saving Myriad Laws Ruler’s disciples, Nie Yun gained Myriad Laws Ruler’s loyalty and asked him about places in the Ten Directions Heaven Domain he had never visited.

• Nie Yun used Pill God Ruler's blood to reveal the Void Realm's entrance, then plunged inside with the others following.

Spiritual Elegance Emperor rejected Carefree Immortal’s theory that time had been frozen, leaving the cause of the fresh deaths unexplained.
