Chu Xisheng entered the cave and switched from the White Tiger Bloodline to the Vengeful Bloodline.

The “Blood Vengeance Illusion Ring,” when not needed to simulate the blood of the White Tiger, could enhance the Vengeful Bloodline by two tiers.

At that moment, Chu Xisheng was unleashing the Vengeful Blade Intent of the eleventh layer, and the eleventh layer of the Vengeful Bloodline, which reflected and repelled all external power in the vicinity.

That included the dense “Death Fog” here.

Inside this cave, not a single blade of grass grew, with no living creatures to be found.

Not to mention the crickets and beetles common in dark environments, there weren’t even any ferns or mosses.

Only numerous human and beast skeletons were scattered about the ground.

And the blackish-grey Qi Mist wafted and undulated throughout the cave.

This was the “Death Fog,” a mist containing the power of death.

Before the Formless Divine Sect took control of the Time Secret Realm, quite a few people had ventured into this secret realm.

With over a hundred openings of the secret realm, it’s unknown how many martial cultivators died near Fire Head Mountain.

Initially, no one paid attention, until the Formless Divine Sect engaged with the Time Secret Realm and, summarizing the experiences of predecessors, deduced that Fire Head Mountain harbored a force exceeding the sixth grade. Thus, they marked the belly of Fire Head Mountain as a deadly area and strictly forbade disciples from approaching.

Even the areas outside the mountain weren’t safe.

Surrounding Fire Head Mountain, only the very first nine days were safe.

Bai Xiaozhao stood on Chu Xisheng’s shoulder, and as she looked at the Death Fog filling the space around her, she felt somewhat uneasy.

Bai Xiaozhao instinctively sensed the fog was very dangerous.

It was a dense combination of deadly poison and the “Death” Dao Rhythm, originated from the blood of a giant god.

For those with lower cultivation, they might even die upon contact.

At this time, it was entirely thanks to Chu Xisheng’s continuous execution of the extreme move “Return Light,” which resisted the power of death contained in the fog.

He actually couldn’t completely reflect this peculiar power; instead, he relied more on brandishing several-feet-long Sword Energy to forcefully disperse it, not allowing it to approach him.

This was another surprising aspect for Bai Xiaozhao.

That “Return Light” obviously seemed like an extremely draining extreme move, yet Chu Xisheng was capable of executing it every two breaths.

Chu Xisheng’s True Yuan seemed inexhaustible.

Nevertheless, Bai Xiaozhao couldn’t help but ask, “Brother, why do you risk diving deep into the belly of Fire Head Mountain? Isn’t this place said to be an extremely dangerous land of death?”

Zhou Liangchen was also curious, glancing sideways at Chu Xisheng.

He also stayed honestly by Chu Xisheng’s side, not daring to move rashly. It was only because of Chu Xisheng’s protection that he could walk unhurt through Fire Head Mountain.

Chu Xisheng pondered briefly upon hearing the question, “Xuanwu Ice Mountain, Fire Head Mountain, Wind Blood Cave, Thunder Valley, Gold and Silver Mountain, Sky-reaching Tree, Black Sea, Iron Stone Mountain, Dragon Flame Mountain—these are the nine special locations within the Time Secret Realm.

Most of them are transformed from the corpses of giant gods. Now, they either serve as entryways into the Time Secret Realm or contain terrifying powers. And they happen to correspond to the powers of ‘Life, Death, Wind, Thunder, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.’

In the past, some speculated that these nine locations might conceal the core mystery of the Time Secret Realm. So, I want to see what they truly hold. Anyway, the method to enter the second layer of the Time Secret Realm is quite simple.”

In reality, Qin Mu Ge had stayed on the first layer for two months over a decade ago, becoming bored and exploring these nine places one by one.

By the time she investigated the fifth location, Qin Mu Ge noticed something was amiss.

Unfortunately, she was short of time and only managed to see seven of them before she had to enter the Secret Realm Second Layer.

Otherwise, this Daoist Fate wouldn’t have come his way.

However, Chu Xisheng couldn’t openly discuss these matters in front of Zhou Liangchen, nor could he explain to the upper echelons of the Formless Divine Sect afterwards.

Luckily, the notes recorded by the previous disciples of the Formless Divine Sect did mention numerous speculations about these nine places, suspecting they may conceal great secrets.

Some even tried to explore their mysteries, but not one succeeded.

They either lacked the capability, gaining nothing, or had bad luck, perishing within the secret realm.

Among these nine locations, the Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth places are relatively simple, and with Qin Mu Ge’s experience, it is estimated that one or two days would suffice to handle them.

The most dangerous are Xuanwu Ice Mountain, Fire Head Mountain, Wind Blood Cave, and Thunder Valley, with Fire Head Mountain being by far the worst!

Qin Mu Ge had never visited this place before; she had only made approximate deductions about it.

Chu Xisheng originally intended to start with the simplest.

After all, the landing point of the Formless Divine Sect disciples in the secret realm was near the Sky-reaching Tree.

However, since he was disturbed by the “Heavenly Magnetic Core” and ended up at Fire Head Mountain, he might as well deal with this place first.

Zhou Liangchen found some relief in these words, yet he silently grumbled in his heart.

The method to enter the “Time Secret Realm” second layer was actually not simple at all.

They had to search for at least twelve “Time Blood Stones” in the secret realm, each the size of a fingertip.

These were formed from the fusion of “Ancient God’s Blood” and “Time Sequence Secret Stones.”

The Formless Divine Sect used the “Time Sequence Secret Stone” to open the secret realm.

After this “Time Sequence Secret Stone” was inserted into the secret realm, it would shatter into countless pieces, scattering throughout the first layer of the Time Secret Realm.

At the same time, the regular black downpour in the secret realm, carrying thin Divine Blood, washed over this world day by day.

Some Ancient God’s Blood combined with fragments of the Time Sequence Secret Stones to form “Time Blood Stones.”

Hence the output of the “Time Blood Stones” was limited; the most produced in one year was only four thousand eight hundred.

It’s expected that ultimately, only three to four hundred people will qualify to enter the Secret Realm Second Layer.
