Inside the Primordial Secret Realm.
After searching for many days, Gu Xun'er finally found Xiao Yan again in a valley, the man she had missed for so long.
But now, Xiao Yan had actually advanced to Lower Earthly Sovereign-in other words, he had broken through to the Dou Di level.
The reason was simple. Xiao Yan possessed extraordinary talent, and after entering the Primordial Secret Realm, his luck had been excellent as well. He had actually found the site where a Heavenly Sovereign had fallen, obtaining a complete Heavenly Sovereign skeleton and more than a dozen drops of Heavenly Sovereign marrow fluid.

Gu Xun'er naturally understood
