In ancient times, when the world first opened, all things were wise, and countless strong beings and Demon Beasts emerged, it was a glorious era, but also a cruel period.

Xu Ran saying she’s not interested in what happened during that time is definitely false, especially since the White Tiger’s words just now clearly suggested that, during the ancient times, there was another strong being with the Innate Saint’s Sacred Body and had significant connections.

If he could learn a bit about the Innate Divine Body Sacred Body from its mouth, it would be immensely beneficial to him.

Moreover, judging by the initial reaction, the Immortal Sword Skill was something the White Tiger had witnessed, and it was even the Great Success level Immortal Sword Skill, perhaps it could reveal matters about that Secret Realm, allowing him to prepare in advance.

Yet, unfortunately, all of this vanished with the disappearance of the White Tiger.

Although he was reluctant, Xu Ran was still vigilantly keeping an eye on his surroundings, to prevent any sudden changes in this mysterious valley, for no one could confirm if the White Tiger that appeared was the last one.

Indeed.

The incident turned out as Xu Ran anticipated.

A short while after the White Tiger disappeared into the valley, a burst of red mist emerged from the depths of the valley, drifting slowly like dandelions, while also behaving like an invader, devouring all the emerald green mist in the valley. Soon, the emerald green mist engulfing the valley was halved.

"What is this?"

The Peregrine Falcon stood in a safe zone, looking uneasily at the suddenly appearing red mist, very puzzled.

In its memory and bloodline memory, there was no trace of this red mist.

The ancient times were a flourishing period where any mysterious event could leave some clues, and the Kunpeng, as a dominator of that period, had a profound understanding of these mysterious occurrences.

The Peregrine Falcon, possessing the Kunpeng Bloodline, naturally inherited records of those mysterious scenes.

However, given the vast memory, the Peregrine Falcon’s current cultivation is too low to absorb it all, but when encountering such mysterious events, the memory would awaken on its own, enlightening it.

Obviously, this suddenly rising red mist, even the Kunpeng during ancient times had never seen, indicating the profound mystery it holds.

Xu Ran, filled with confusion, also stared at the red mist swirling and devouring high in the valley, utterly at a loss.

Before this red mist, Xu Ran could sense nothing at all, not even a hint. If it weren’t for seeing the emergence of the red mist, Xu Ran’s perception would suggest nothing existed there at all.

"This red mist is completely different from the blood-red Evil Qi of the White Tiger just now, it’s introverted and undetectable."

The red mist, though red as well, is entirely different from the White Tiger’s blood-red Evil Qi.

Upon the blood-red Evil Qi of the White Tiger appearing, a fierce aura would gather around, seeming blood-red and fiery passion, yet it would cause the surrounding temperature to plummet, affecting not only the environment but also making people’s bodies tremble unconsciously with fear.

This blood-red Evil Qi directly affects humans.

But this red mist, it’s completely different.

It appears without any aura fluctuation, and one’s Divine Sense can enter it unimpeded, probing every corner of the mist, and in stark contrast to the coldness of the Evil Qi, it constantly emits a warm feeling.

As Xu Ran’s Divine Sense continually delved into the red mist, a trace of intoxication appeared on his face.

In just an instant, a mass of white energy suddenly burst out from the red mist.

Xu Ran abruptly opened his eyes, a hint of residual fear emerging in his eyes, as if his Divine Sense had experienced something terrifying within the red mist, which was hard to calm.

"Whew--"

Innate Qi surged continuously from Xu Ran’s body, like a warm current, washing over his body surface as if trying to cleanse something away.

After a moment, Xu Ran’s expression returned to normal, staring solemnly at the red mist still expanding.

"This mist can actually devour a person’s Divine Sense and transform it into red mist!"

When Xu Ran was probing with his Divine Sense inside the red mist earlier, it felt fine at first, but after some time, he sensed something was off.

He realized his Divine Sense was slowly dissipating bit by bit, akin to boiling a frog in warm water, utterly unnoticed. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

If it weren’t for the sudden agitation of the Innate Qi within him, frantically encapsulating the Divine Sense entering the red mist, he would not have escaped danger.

Moreover, the pure Innate Qi forcibly seized back the slowly devoured Divine Sense from the red mist, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The devouring of a Divine Sense, even if just by a minuscule amount, is an extremely serious matter.

"Luckily, having encountered enough bizarre incidents in this valley, I’ve been prepared with Innate Qi before making every move, otherwise, I would have really fallen here this time!"

Xu Ran remarked with a trace of lingering fear.

As soon as he finished speaking, the red mist, as if a precious meal had been snatched away, shed its initial sluggish demeanor and began to rage, rampaging across the valley, swiftly devouring all the emerald green mist that once filled the valley.

Simultaneously.
