Dantai Xian'er said softly, "Should we first destroy the Eight Heavens Immortal Mansion, or go to the Eight Heavens Secret Treasury first?"
Tan Yun replied, "We are not clear on the strength of the Eight Heavens Immortal Emperor, so we should first loot the Eight Heavens Secret Treasury, while also inquiring about the strength of the Eight Heavens Immortal Emperor. After ensuring everything is foolproof, we will directly attack the Eight Heavens Immortal Mansion!"
"After a month, we will reach the Hall of Time and Space outside the Eight Heavens Immortal City."
"There's no time to lose; let’s set off!"
With that, Tan Yun and the others rushed into the Barrier Gate and vanished, as if it had never appeared.
Ten days later, at dusk.
Five figures descended from the sky, landing on the peak of the Barrier Immortal Mountain, transforming into Xuan Yuan Rou and her four companions.
Xuan Yuan Rou looked at Xuan Yuan Hao Kong and the others and said, "Please wait a moment, I will see how to open the Barrier Gate."
After speaking, Xuan Yuan Rou gazed at the intricate forbidden patterns on the giant stele. Suddenly, her beautiful eyes revealed a mix of love and hatred, murmuring, "In all the world, the only person who can set such forbidden patterns, apart from my deceased father, is either me or him."
"Sis, who is he?" Xuan Yuan Ling Er asked curiously, holding hands with Chu Xiaosa.
Xuan Yuan Rou’s beautiful eyes gleamed with intense killing intent as she turned back and said, "He is Tan Yun!"
"This forbidden pattern was created by my father, also known as the spirit clan divine patterns. My father only taught it to me and him."
Xuan Yuan Ling Er let go of Chu Xiaosa and clung to Xuan Yuan Rou's slender arm, comforting her, "Sister, please don’t be angry."
"Not angry? How can I not be angry!" Xuan Yuan Rou said coldly. "In my last life, I loved him so much, yet he killed my father and me..."
Before she finished speaking, Xuan Yuan Rou took a deep breath and said, "Right, I can't be angry. It’s not worth ruining myself over someone like him."
At this moment, Xuan Yuan Ling Er said softly, "Sister, there’s something I’ve been holding back for a long time. I know you don’t wish to hear his name, so I never asked."
Xuan Yuan Rou’s expression softened, "You are my sister, not an outsider. If you have something to ask, just say it directly."
"Okay, you’re the best, sister." Xuan Yuan Ling Er asked curiously, "Sister, Tan Yun knows everything about pills, formations, artifacts, and talismans. His sword formation, sword technique, and primordial chaos dominance body are all so powerful. Were these all taught to him by your father in your last life?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuan Rou nodded, then shook her head, her brows furrowing, "My father did indeed teach him some spirit clan secret techniques, but he taught him very little about the four arts of pills, formations, artifacts, and talismans."
"I remember my father saying that Tan Yun from countless cycles ago was the darling of the universe, yet he was also a calamity; anyone who was with him would not have a good ending."
"My father also used the spirit clan secret techniques: great prophecy technique and great reincarnation technique to see Tan Yun's identity from countless cycles before, but the result shocked my father."
"Because my spirit clan’s two secret techniques failed on Tan Yun, there was an extremely powerful invisible force enveloping him."
"My father suspected that the Tan Yun of the past should have been reincarnated."
Hearing this, Xuan Yuan Ling Er, Xuan Yuan Hao Kong, Chu Xiaosa, and Xuan Yuan Chang Feng were utterly shocked!
Xuan Yuan Hao Kong said in horror, "Rou'er, do you mean to say that Tan Yun's true identity is not the primeval supreme from countless cycles ago?"
"And the primeval supreme from back then is also reincarnated?"
Xuan Yuan Rou nodded firmly, "Yes, these were all told to me directly by my father."
"He should not be from our current universe; as for his true identity, he still doesn’t know it."
