Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the distant secret void realm, boundless darkness shrouded the land, forming a world of its own. It was a place forgotten by the light, and no living creature could survive there.

Coldness, hatred, and all kinds of negative emotions were mixed together, forming a thick black fog that floated in the sky.

There were ravines and cracks on the ground, and the bone-piercing wind blew up, sounding like the wails of ghosts and the shrieks of countless ghosts.

If Ye Xuan was here, he would find that this black fog seemed to be the same as the one he had seen on the Penglai Immortal Beast.

It was as if the evilest power in the world had gathered here, and it was even more powerful than the black Qi from before. As long as one came into contact with it, their consciousness would be immediately eroded and they would become a walking corpse.

“Eh, someone touched my altar.”

From the depths of the black fog came a deep voice. At first, he didn’t take it to heart, it was just an accident.

After all, with the sudden opening of the secret realm, it was inevitable that people would accidentally touch it.

In front of the black fog, there was a miniature version of the underground palace. Its shape was similar to the one Ye Xuan had seen, but it was shrouded in black Qi and suspended in the air.

And there were a few more models like this. They were all shrouded in an ominous black fog, and their appearances could not be seen clearly.

“Counting the time, the thousand-year period has come. The Penglai Immortal Beasts that I’ve been raising are now ready. It’s time to release their seals and see my perfect work.”

“They will be my most powerful Immortal Beast Army!”

The black Qi burst into a peal of strange laughter and quickly disappeared.

However, he did not notice that not long after he left, the black Qi above the underground palace seemed to have been swept away by something, revealing its original appearance.

…

“Clan Leader, how long have we been sealed? Has the curse been lifted?”

“Clan Leader, how did you become like this? Also, what happened to the other clansmen who were sacrificed earlier after we were sealed?”

“I feeling a little tired and very weak.”

Faced with various questions from the clan members, the clan leader did not speak for a long time. It did not know how to speak.

The thousand years that they had been sealed, including their previous sacrifices, were all a lie.

After a thousand years of waiting, everything had turned out to be in vain. How ironic and cruel was this?

Not to mention the clan leader, who could not bear to tell these sealed clansmen, even the Tai Qing Sect could not bear to do so.

The Penglai Immortal Beasts quickly realized that something was wrong.

“Clan Leader, why aren’t you saying anything? Did something happen?”

“Clan Leader, just say it!”

It was impossible to hide things now.

“We’ve all been deceived by that man,” it said heavily, “He lured us into offering sacrifices not to help us at all, but for another purpose.”

“We were all affected by the filth and lost our minds. If it wasn’t for their help, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have known about that man’s plot.”

The clan leader told them what happened after it woke up.

The other Penglai Immortal Beasts seemed to be dumbfounded as they stood rooted to the ground. After a long while, they said in a choked voice, “In that case, the power to break curses is fake? Didn’t you all sacrifice your lives for nothing?”

None of the Penglai Immortal Beasts dared to believe this cruel reality.

After all, they had waited for so long, sealed in the dark underground palace, and sacrificed so many people just to break the curse.

But now, the clan leader’s words had overturned all their hopes. They simply could not believe this cruel reality.

“Clan Leader, you’re not joking, are you? This joke is not funny at all.”

From the altar, a faint golden light spot slowly flew over and entered the body of the Penglai Immortal Beast.

These were the cultivation base and life force that had been absorbed from them earlier. Now that the altar was broken, it was naturally returned.

The originally harmless little beast in front of everyone clearly still looked the same, but the aura on its body suddenly changed.

The people of the Tai Qing Sect felt great pressure.

“It’s probably at the peak of the sky rank!”

There were a few powerful Penglai Immortal Beasts that had even entered the sun rank according to the cultivation level of human cultivators.

Everyone’s face turned pale, and bean-sized beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads. As expected of a Penglai Immortal Beast, its powerful abilities were indeed well-deserved.

The bodies of the few Immortal Beasts with the highest level were floating in the air. A golden light that came out of nowhere wrapped them up in layers, and the powerful airflow shook everyone back.

“What’s going on?” Ye Xuan asked.

The clan leader and the other Penglai Immortal Beasts’ voices were filled with sorrow as they solemnly replied, “They’re about to transform.”

They should have taken human form a thousand years ago, but they were suppressed by the seal. Although the man had deceived them, suppressing their transformation was the truth.

Now that the seal had been removed, even though most of their power had been devoured by the altar, it still could not stop them from transforming.

“Is the heavens really going to exterminate the Penglai Immortal Beast clan?”

The other Penglai Immortal Beasts’ expressions were filled with grief. Everyone knew that transforming meant death. They could not break the curse, and once they failed to transform, they would rapidly age.

Ye Xuan seemed to have thought of something. He said, “Perhaps these two pills can help you.”

This was the ‘transformation pill’ produced by the system. He didn’t expect it to be useful here.

“It’s no use. We’ve tried using pills before, but it didn’t work.”

If it was something else, Ye Xuan wouldn’t be so sure, but this was a product of the system, and it even stated that it could successfully let a demonic beast transform.

“Let’s try it. What if it’s effective?”

Just as the clan leader was hesitating, one of the Penglai Immortal Beasts suddenly ate the pill in Ye Xuan’s hand.
