Amidst the dense fog, the sound of the waves became ethereal and distant.

Li Yan felt his Divine Soul become lighter as his body began to float.

This was somewhat different from the previous dreams given by the Dragon Lady, as there were no jade arms encircling him from behind, and the feeling of losing control over his body and mind was stronger.

Li Yan did not find it strange.

After all, previously, the Dragon Lady had given him a dream alone, and the incense had yet to consolidate, requiring the Dragon Pattern Jade for manifestation, granting him special treatment.

But now, except for Wu Ba who stayed to guard their bodies, the rest would enter within.

According to Li Yan's experience and speculation, this Dragon Palace and Water Sanctuary existed between reality and illusion, and ordinary people entering via dream tours found it hard to completely control themselves and thoroughly explore.

The Dragon Palace and Water Sanctuary had already been occupied by the Dragon Lady.

Due to the forcible retrieval of the Jingzhou Tripod, this Cave Heaven Secret Realm had already been damaged and could not be sustained for long, requiring the Dragon Lady to gradually nurture and repair it with the Power of Incense over decades.

In other words, this was their only chance.

Naturally, bringing in more people would increase the opportunity.

Upon reopening his eyes, Li Yan found himself enveloped in a watery light, the surroundings blurred and indistinct, making it hard to see clearly.

Looking around, Li Yan felt a bit surprised.

Among the group, only Lv San had separately entered the "Cloud Lord Divine Que" and "Wushan Goddess Palace," and his experience was quite rich.

According to him, although the styles were different, both resembled ancient Divine Halls, and one walked on land.

However, this Dragon Palace and Water Sanctuary was completely submerged by river water.

It seemed that the environment within the Cave Heaven Secret Realm would also change.

Looking around again, he didn't see Wang Daoxuan, Sha Lifei, and the others, indicating as he suspected, that dreams entering the Secret Realm were uncontrollable and they might appear in different areas...

Before Li Yan could think further, his vision began to move forward.

It seemed like he was being pushed by the water flow, completely uncontrollable, tumbling over and heading towards a cave, following the exact path as Wu Xiang Gongzi had before.

As he passed through the cave, whispers reached his ears once again.

It was left by the Demon-possessed Ancient Shu Kingdom's Witch Sacrifice, and Wu Xiang Gongzi was thus cursed, ultimately dying under the divine might of the Jingzhou Tripod.

Similarly, Li Yan began to feel dizzy and lightheaded.

Whoosh~

Just at that moment, the surrounding water suddenly surged, gathering and condensing, vaguely revealing the appearance of a female immortal.

Clad in a Qin Han-style deep garment with a curved hem, holding a flower basket, her eyes slightly downcast, dragon horns atop her head.

Very similar to the Dragon Girl statue in the temple.

This was the Mortal God of incense, whose form is usually not fixed, as the heart is a mirror reflecting their appearance.

She slightly raised the flower basket in her hand, and a stream of red dust floated out from the surrounding caves, absorbed entirely by the basket.

Li Yan's dizziness disappeared as well.

Unable to speak, he could only smile and clasp his hands in gratitude.

Then, the Dragon Lady's flower basket shook again, and instantly, scenes flashed before Li Yan's eyes: chains, coffins, Nine Tripods...

These were the scenes once seen by Wu Xiang Gongzi.

Li Yan realized that after taking over the Dragon Palace and Water Sanctuary, the Dragon Lady could already look back at events from not long ago.

Unfortunately, such things seemed out of reach for mortals, existing between reality and illusion, only governable by gods of similar nature.

As he passed through the cave, chaos unfurled inside.

The innocent souls of boys and girls within the coffins had long turned to dust, and countless small coffins shattered into pieces, leaving only the broken and decayed bronze chains.

Different from the illusions, a huge abyss appeared within the cave, surrounded by web-like cracks, with faint white mist rising.

It seemed as though the entire cave might soon burst.

Li Yan knew this was where the Jingzhou Tripod originally appeared, and wondered if those cracks connected to the underground Dragon Vein?

Curious though he was, he did not act recklessly.

The Divine State's three major Dragon Veins were mysterious and profound, their Acupoint condensed could produce a Cave Heaven Blessed Land, inciting numerous major events throughout history.

Consequently, he knew it was beyond his scope.

Li Yan's gaze was drawn to another object entirely.

A half-meter high stone shrine sculpted with a deity, crudely crafted, it resembled a person yet bore a leopard tail and tiger teeth, with disheveled hair...

Was this the Queen Mother of the West?

The Queen Mother of the West's original image, as described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas": residing on the Jade Mountain, human-like, with a leopard tail and tiger teeth, skilled at roaring, with disheveled hair and a peacock crown, presiding over the severity of heavens and the five calamities...

Later, when worshipped in the Mystical Sect, her appearance had changed.

This item must be incredibly ancient.

Li Yan felt a shiver in his heart, immediately followed by curiosity.

Why was the shrine of the Queen Mother of the West here?

Judging by the situation, it wasn't for Tribute; instead, it appeared as though it was a valuable collection...

As he pondered, the water flow pushed him closer.

Thereupon, a hint of surprise and delight crossed Li Yan's eyes, as he turned and glanced at the Dragon Lady's shadow, hurriedly clasping his hands.

Moments ago, his Daluo Dharma Body sensed something.

It was akin to the feeling when obtaining the Immortal Mountain Boshan Furnace.

This was "Cave Heaven Stone"!

With the Daluo Dharma Body absorbing it, the Storing God could expand Luo Feng Mountain.

Li Yan looked at the shrine, his eyes full of joy.

During the battle at Chengdu Shu King Palace, he destroyed a Soul Lamp Fire, leaving his Daluo Dharma Body in tatters, needing Heavenly Spirit Earth Treasures for repair.

There was nothing viable in Chengdu, so he pinned his hopes on the Dragon Palace.

Unexpectedly, he found something even better.

No wonder the Dragon Lady personally appeared.

This was probably the most precious thing within the Dragon Palace and Water Sanctuary.

Without hesitation, Li Yan immediately stepped forward and pressed down on the shrine...

As Li Yan acquired this treasure, others made their own discoveries.

Wang Daoxuan drifted aimlessly, unable to control his body, but fortunately, his mind was steady, and he remained calm.

When he floated to a sandy bank of a lake, he suddenly saw various turtle shells, ancient to the point of turning jade-like in color.
