The Formless Ancient Race, an ancient secret realm...

Mountains eroded, rivers dried up, all things decayed.

Air currents suddenly stirred up gray dust, swirling around.

In the sand, "Fourth Uncle" Tang Xiaoping was standing.

In front of him was a broken stone tablet.

The stone tablet was extremely sturdy, as if protected by some strange force, hidden, and he wouldn't have discovered it if he hadn't walked up to it.

Moreover, this tablet couldn't be copied or inscribed; it could only be studied for cultivation.

At this moment, he was staring intently at the ancient characters on the stone tablet.

"Chenggen Mountain, so it can be used in reverse, intersecting with the sky, allowing one to merge not only with the earth but also with the wind?"

"Is that possible?"

Tang Xiaoping muttered intermittently, growing more and more excited.

Since the day he tested with that youngster, he seemed to have sparked inspiration.

In this life, he no longer pursued the Divine Infant Realm, having lived more than half of the Purple Mansion's millennium lifespan. What he tirelessly sought was these ancient secret techniques.

Now, he discovered an opportunity to advance further, like a youth seeing his first love, unable to look away.

"Mountain is earth, wind belongs to wood; if earth and wood in the Five Elements can fuse, could more be fused?"

"If more could be fused..."

Tang Xiaoping could no longer imagine.

"Did people in ancient times really cultivate such magic?"

"Are there even more comprehensive, more systematic magic techniques?"

"For what purpose did they cultivate these techniques?"

"Were they just as obsessed as I am, solely researching?"

Countless thoughts flooded into his mind like a dam bursting.

And just then, he suddenly felt the entire secret realm start to tremble.

The realm, already turning to dust, began to experience a cracking sensation. The land's surface split open, quickly forming a ravine, with sand and dust from the decayed mountains and rivers rapidly pouring into it.

In the sky above the secret realm, gray clouds had formed into a vortex, with strands of red lightning snakes rapidly darting through the gray cloud threads.

Tang Xiaoping recognized the terrifying red lightning, his pupils shrinking, exclaiming: "Celestial tribulation!! How is this possible?!"

This wasn't the "minor celestial tribulation" for "passing the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm," but a genuine celestial tribulation.

If a "minor celestial tribulation" was a small fruit knife, the current celestial tribulation was a giant Dragon Slaying Saber!

"How did this happen?"

"I'm afraid this secret realm can't withstand it!"

Faced with this sudden change, Tang Xiaoping couldn't think much more and wanted to quickly grab the ancient stone tablet inscribed with "Profound Mountain Nine Stacks," "Chenggen Mountain Technique," and "Three Steps to Heaven" and escape.

He hadn't previously taken it for fear of ruining the ancient stone tablet by forcefully handling it.

But now, with the secret realm about to be destroyed by the celestial tribulation, he couldn't care less.

Tang Xiaoping manifested a giant hand with his mind's power, reaching to grab the stone tablet. But before he could touch it, he felt an immense pressure enveloped on the stone tablet.

His body froze, showing disbelief.

"The celestial tribulation's target is actually this stone tablet!!"

In his eyes, the hidden power that protected the stone tablet was rapidly disintegrating, and the red thunder slurry above the clouds was ready to strike.

Tang Xiaoping, disregarding everything else, turned and sped toward the secret realm's exit, and just as he stepped out of the realm, he couldn't help but glance back.

In that glance, he saw the celestial tribulation descend from the sky, the characters on the stone tablet blazing like a scroll thrown into a furnace, words being erased one by one. The solid stone, as fragile as paper, burned dark red by the thunder fire, then scattered into ash in the airflow.

And the entire secret realm... began to shatter at that moment.

Puff!

Tang Xiaoping returned to the mortal world, gasping for breath, still showing signs of fear.

If he had been a step slower or greedier for a moment, he would have been left in the secret realm.

He tested the secret realm's entrance.

Sure enough, the entrance had already disappeared.

Tang Xiaoping let out a long sigh.

But then, as if he thought of something, he suddenly showed a hint of joy.

The more he thought, the happier he became, like an old child discovering a new toy, jumping and skipping away, conveying his excitement through his thoughts as he ran.

"Clan Leader! Clan Leader! I told you, there's definitely something about these obscure, hard-to-learn secret techniques. Now that even the celestial tribulation wants to destroy them, I was right! Clan Leader!! I believe these three secret techniques should be incorporated into the spell system of our younger generation of the Formless clan, and they should practice diligently!"

Before long...

A thought was sent back in response.

In the late stage of the Purple Mansion, they only needed to leave thoughts to communicate directly without meeting in person.

And the responder at that moment was the Clan Leader of the Formless Ancient Race, the strongest of this generation—Tang Xiaoxuan.

After a brief discussion.

Tang Xiaoxuan said, "First select some talented youngsters below to try. If it can indeed greatly enhance combat power, then it's not too late for our clan's younger generation to use it."

Tang Xiaoping happily left.

Any magic that even heaven and earth cannot tolerate must surely be something valuable, right?

If something worthwhile can be successfully researched, the descendants of the Formless Ancient Race will undoubtedly become stronger.

...

Song Yan truly felt the presence of kindness.

The presence of An Li made him feel that the world had softened entirely.

Because of his goodwill towards one person, he extended it to everyone he met.

At this moment, he was in the Moon Sea Kingdom, outside of Qinghuan Kingdom.

Moon Sea Kingdom was dozens of times larger than Qinghuan Kingdom, even larger than the original Ancient Jin territory of the Three Kingdoms.
