Chapter 134: High Priestess — Yue Liuli!

【“Let’s go!”】

【As you looked at the Teleportation Talisman in Xuanyuan Tianji’s hand, your heart was filled with anticipation for what the Upper Realm would be like.】

【Although you knew that unknown monsters existed in the Upper Realm, only by going there would you have a greater chance to grow stronger.】

【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that this Teleportation Talisman could only take you to the Upper Realm associated with the Canglan Realm. It could not take you to any other Immortal Realm.】

【WHOOSH—】

【In the next instant, your figures vanished from the ninth floor of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.】

【When you opened your eyes again, you found that you had arrived in a Bizarre place.】

【After looking around, you discovered that you seemed to be in some kind of place of ritual worship.】

【You and Xuanyuan Tianji walked along the surrounding bronze pillars, and not long afterward, you arrived at an altar.】

【Standing atop the altar, you and Xuanyuan Tianji suddenly saw a group of Human Race people kneeling in worship below it.】

【What surprised you even more was that among this group of Human Race people, none of those above the Foundation Establishment Realm had been possessed by the Bizarre Insects.】

【“The Ancestor has shown divine signs!”】

【“We’re saved!”】

【Suddenly, you saw that the people below had noticed your presence, and they began raising their arms and shouting excitedly.】

【Having no idea what was going on, you and Xuanyuan Tianji could only stand helplessly on the altar and watch the scene before you.】

【Before long, a woman wearing a ritual mask walked up to you.】

【“Who are you?”】

【“We are...”】

【Looking at the masked woman before you, the words that had reached your lips suddenly refused to come out.】

【You did not know how to explain your origins to her. For the moment, you still had no clear understanding of the situation and power structure of the Upper Realm.】

【You were afraid that if you told the truth, she might turn around and sell you out on the spot.】

【“We were being hunted by the Bizarre Insects and fled here.”】

【“Bizarre Insects?”】

【“The Bizarre Insect Clan disappeared from the Canglan Realm ten thousand years ago. There are still Bizarre Insects in existence?”】

【After hearing you mention the Bizarre Insects, the masked woman looked at you with icy eyes.】

【Hearing this, you were deeply shaken inside.】

【You had never expected that the Bizarre Insects had already vanished from the Upper Realm for ten thousand years.】

【After all, in the lower Canglan Realm, the Bizarre Insects had already ruled for two entire eras.】

【More importantly, from the woman’s words just now, you learned that this Upper Realm was also called the Canglan Realm.】

【In your view, it was impossible for the Upper Realm and the lower realm to have the same name. One Upper Realm should have many lower realms under it.】

【Although the masked woman saw that you were not speaking, she could tell that you were normal humans.】

【“Come with me. This is not the place to talk.”】

【You and Xuanyuan Tianji exchanged a glance, then followed the masked woman away from the altar.】

【A long time later, you followed the masked woman to a wooden hut.】

【“There’s no one here. Tell me your origins!”】

【“Otherwise, I cannot guarantee that you’ll survive!”】

【Hearing the slightly softened tone of the masked woman, you let out a helpless sigh.】

【“We are humans from the lower Canglan Realm. We were hunted by the Bizarre Insects and accidentally arrived here.”】

【“Still lying to me?”】

【“Among the lower realms under the Canglan Realm, there is no lower realm that bears the same name as the Canglan Realm.”】

【The moment you heard that, you were completely stunned.】

【From the information revealed by the masked woman, you learned that the Canglan Realm was not a lower realm under the Canglan Realm of the Immortal Realm. If that was the case, then what exactly was the Canglan Realm you came from?】

【You immediately told her that you truly did come from the Canglan Realm, and you explained the entire situation of the Canglan Realm to the masked woman.】

【After hearing this, the masked woman’s eyes widened, as though she had suddenly thought of something.】

【A long while later, the masked woman spoke again.】

【“You came from the Dead Land?”】

【“The Dead Land? What is the Dead Land? You’re saying the Canglan Realm is the Dead Land?”】

【When the masked woman saw that you truly knew nothing, she became even more certain that you had come from the Dead Land.】

【“I do not know why you call the Dead Land the Canglan Realm, but if you are not lying to me, then your world really is called the Dead Land.”】

【“However, there is nothing wrong with calling it the Canglan Realm either, because it was originally a part of the Canglan Realm.”】

【After hearing the masked woman’s words, Xuanyuan Tianji nodded thoughtfully.】

【“No wonder... I was wondering why the name Canglan Realm sounded so familiar.”】

Inside the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, after seeing this information, Su Ming felt as though he had been struck by lightning.

He had never imagined that the Canglan Realm was not some so-called lower realm, but actually a part of the Immortal Realm.

In other words, the Canglan Realm he currently lived in was itself part of the Immortal Realm.

Moreover, Su Ming could not understand why there was no trace of the Bizarre Insect Clan in the Upper Realm.

In his view, even with the existence of that terrifying monster, the Bizarre Insect Clan should not have vanished for so long.

Unable to make sense of any of this, Su Ming continued looking at the simulator.

【You asked the masked woman why the Canglan Realm was called the Dead Land, and why it had been separated from the Upper Realm.】

【Faced with the string of questions you threw at her, the masked woman did not answer immediately. Instead, she gently removed the mask from her face.】

【After the mask came off, you had not expected that beneath it would be such a delicate and breathtakingly beautiful face.】

【The woman told you that her name was Yue Liuli.】

【Yue Liuli told you that she was the High Priestess of this Human Race tribe.】

【Using the True Eye, you discovered that Yue Liuli’s realm was only Late Void Refinement.】

【You could not understand it. She was, after all, the High Priestess of an entire tribe, so why was her cultivation so low?】

【After Yue Liuli sat down, she noticed the curiosity in your eyes.】

【“As for the origin of the Dead Land, I do not know either!”】

【“Its origins are too ancient, and coupled with the upheaval that took place in the Canglan Realm, many truths have been buried in the long river of history.”】

【“However, according to legend, a world-shaking great war once broke out long ago. That battle shattered the Canglan Realm into pieces, and the broken portion eventually formed the Dead Land.”】

【Yue Liuli told you that the Dead Land was not located within the Canglan Realm, but in a special space caught between the lower realms and the Upper Realm.】

【Yue Liuli told you that the only passage from the Canglan Realm to the Dead Land had been completely sealed ten thousand years ago during the expulsion of the Bizarre Insect Clan.】

【“You mean the Bizarre Insects in the Dead Land were driven there from the Canglan Realm?”】

【You had never expected that this was how the Bizarre Insect Clan in the Dead Land had come to be.】

【Suddenly, you thought of a question and asked Yue Liuli whether the people of the Dead Land could ascend into the Canglan Realm by undergoing tribulation.】

【After hearing that, Yue Liuli shook her head.】

【“The Dead Land is itself part of the Canglan Realm. How could there be such a thing as ascension?”】

【“It is only because the laws of the Dead Land are incomplete that cultivation can go no further than the Ninth Tribulation Realm of the Tribulation Stage.”】

【Only after hearing Yue Liuli’s explanation did you finally understand why the Holy Lands in the Dead Land had so many mighty experts at the Tribulation Stage.】
