Chapter 1671: Chapter 1671: Still Don’t Quite Understand

Jiang Xiaobai was completely dumbfounded.

That mountain range was the backup plan left behind by Yang Jian and his group from the Investiture of the Gods, the key to resurrection. If it suddenly vanished and they couldn’t retrieve the backup, the future would become very troublesome!

He couldn’t fathom how such a massive mountain range could disappear without a trace, and he hadn’t detected even the slightest sign!

Ao Yan also sensed the anomaly and stepped outside, staring in disbelief at the cloudless sky.

"How could that place disappear? Or was it just some sort of illusion before? But that shouldn’t be the case—there was clearly a dense aura within."

Ao Yan squinted her eyes. She didn’t know the full truth, but she understood how much Jiang Xiaobai valued this place. It was of vital importance!

Her husband’s concern was her own concern!

"Come on, let’s go check it out."

Jiang Xiaobai also narrowed his eyes and planned to first gather intel in the city, or perhaps visit Bai He—the old dog he hadn’t seen for a long time. Maybe it was time to swindle him again.

Meanwhile, the city itself was in an uproar, as just ten minutes ago, the mountain range floating in the sky had suddenly vanished!

Most people had seen it with their own eyes: the incomparably massive mountain range had simply disappeared!

Keep in mind, news of this mountain range had spread throughout the entire Earth Immortal Realm, attracting all the cultivators from the four continents. The sudden influx of so many cultivators into West Bull Continent could lead to chaos, which would be no trivial matter!

One of the strongmen from the Ox Demon Sect stared nervously at the Ziwei Emperor.

"My Lord, do you have any idea what’s going on?"

The Ziwei Emperor merely cast a faint glance at him: "No need to worry. The secret realm is still there; what appeared in the sky before was merely an illusion."

"I’ll contact the Celestial Court to locate the true site of the secret realm."

Upon hearing this, the Ox Demon Sect strongman finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Joking aside, with so many cultivators causing a ruckus outside, even a mega-force like the Ox Demon Sect would struggle to maintain control!

The Earth Immortal Realm was vast and boundless, with countless cultivators and powerhouses—no single faction could stand against them all.

Even a transcendental power like the Star Palace couldn’t afford to antagonize an entire continent’s population, let alone handle the current situation.

"Understood. I’ll go placate the cultivators outside for now."

After the Ox Demon Sect strongman left, a faint smirk appeared on the Ziwei Emperor’s lips.

"Indeed, we’ve hooked a big fish. That young man is truly lucky—had we waited any longer, he might have been dead."

She murmured to herself, then pulled out a token and contacted the Qing Emperor: "The plan is proceeding as expected."

The Qing Emperor replied promptly: "Make sure to keep an eye on that young man’s safety—he must remain unharmed. Also, once you exit the secret realm, head to the Dead Sea. There’s likely a problem there."

The Ziwei Emperor’s heart skipped a beat. Having followed the Qing Emperor into this era, she fully understood the Dead Sea’s significance!

If danger did arise there, it could lead to catastrophic flooding across the Earth Immortal Realm, causing continents to collapse!

It must be those cursed interdimensional entities!

At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai and Ao Yan, both disguised, had arrived in the city and overheard the news coming out of the Ox Demon Sect.

"So you’re saying we haven’t actually found the true location of the secret realm?" Ao Yan looked toward Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai pondered for a long while before suddenly chuckling: "No, we’ve always known."

"You mean..."

"Yes. That old Bai He is no ordinary fellow. He had us waiting in that spot, so the entrance to the secret realm must be there."

With this revelation, Jiang Xiaobai realized everything. Bai He and the Emperor had always known his position and calculated every move.

The secret realm was quite possibly opened by Bai He and the Emperor themselves.

But what Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t understand was why, having set the stage, neither of them had shown up yet?

Were two Celestial Emperors not enough to help him easily retrieve the backup left behind by the ancient Heaven Court’s powerhouses?

And now, not only were these two keeping quiet, even his master Gu Ning hadn’t reacted at all.

"Could it be that there are other preparations to be made?"

"We’ve come so far—what else am I not allowed to know?"

Jiang Xiaobai was utterly perplexed. Still, since he now knew the secret of the realm, there was no point lingering in the city; it was better to head to the location and wait ahead of time.

As the two prepared to leave the city gates, Jiang Xiaobai’s ears suddenly twitched—he caught a familiar voice nearby.

"What do we do now? Follow the crowd, or try to find the secret realm ourselves?"

A somewhat thick-headed voice reached him. Jiang Xiaobai glanced over and saw a small party pacing around the city gates.

It was none other than Anran and Ao Cheng’s group, but upon closer inspection, Jiang Xiaobai noticed that Qiongyu and Nangong Wuyou were missing!

What’s going on?

"Should we go take a look?" Ao Yan transmitted her voice from beside him, concerned about their sensitive identities. If exposed, they could cause trouble for Ao Cheng and the others.

"No need. They won’t be under much scrutiny, but the interdimensional entities will definitely keep an eye on them. If we approach now, we’ll undoubtedly be discovered."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai gently activated the power of the Primordial Chaos Millstone to probe his surroundings and, sure enough, detected two familiar auras.

Shard-space interdimensional entities!

"So you’re aware, huh? Too bad. You want me to expose myself? Not that easy. If you’ve got guts, come after them instead."

Beneath his mask, Jiang Xiaobai’s lips curled into a cold and sinister smile.

What piqued his curiosity now was—where had Qiongyu and Nangong Wuyou gone?

Just then, the two women walked in from outside the city gates.

"How about it? Did you uncover any leads?"

Anran immediately rushed forward in concern when he saw them: "I heard the boss appeared yesterday. Did he get into trouble?"

"That guy has countless tricks up his sleeve—how could he be in trouble? You’d be better off thinking about how we can find the secret realm quickly. Early discovery is an advantage," Nangong Wuyou replied.

Off to the side, Zhuang Huanling smirked in disdain: "You fat fool, even if you got into trouble, he wouldn’t. Stop overthinking."

"I’m just worried. Didn’t that old priest say the boss is key to world survival?" Anran muttered.

Qiongyu offered a faint smile: "Since he’s key to world survival, he won’t be thwarted by a minor issue like this. No need to worry. We just found out that Heavenly Court powerhouses and the Ox Demon Sect strongmen are heading toward the true location of the secret realm. We should set off first."

"Exactly. Look at all the Earth Immortal Realm cultivators around us—who isn’t trying to reach the secret realm? If we’re late, forget drinking soup; even the bowls will be snatched away!"

Ao Cheng grinned, brimming with excitement.

Recently, his strength had grown significantly, and he could barely contain his urge to fight.

Soon, the group rushed out of the city gates, heading toward another direction.

Behind them, Ao Yan had a face full of resentment: "That dog of a man—his strength improved a little and now he’s full of himself. He knows I’m around but doesn’t even worry about me. He’s definitely due for some discipline!"

Jiang Xiaobai stifled a laugh and patted Ao Yan’s shoulder before moving to leave.

But suddenly, a figure appeared before them, making Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes go wide!
