As he spoke, he sneered again, "To use it for having children, there's a chance we could raise a branch of the Formless Race that obeys us."

The suspicion in the expression of Yingteng Master disappeared, and he chuckled, "Zhang Han, you think well, but you still don't know much. This Ancient Race, passing down from one lineage to the next, if they have already birthed offspring with the bloodline, they can give birth no more."

Having said that, he slightly raised his chin, looking at Tang Fan, smiling, "Young man, are you married?"

Tang Fan wasn't foolish enough to tell the truth at this moment, so he clenched his fist and said, "Even though I am not, my heart already belongs to someone, and you shouldn't think of having me marry another."

Yingteng Master laughed loudly, waving his claw, and said, "Don't just stand there, come sit. Even if you don't eat human flesh, having some Profound Wine and Profound Tea is good. Wait for those behind."

Song Yan, Tang Fan quickly walked over.

Song Yan found a place to sit.

Tang Fan glanced at the middle-aged man not far away who seemed to be in the same situation as him, hesitated for a moment, but then thought it safer to sit next to the old demon Zhang, so he walked towards Song Yan. However, just before he sat down, Yingteng Master in the distance waved his hand, saying, "My young friend, sit by my side."

Tang Fan showed a wry smile.

Yingteng Master chuckled, "Come on, I'm fond of you.

Quickly come and chat with the ancestor, what sort of young lady do you like?"

Tang Fan helplessly sat down, like a large ice block, beside the Six-tailed Red Fox Demon, not daring to move.

Yingteng Master suddenly raised his hand to remove the pot of cooking human flesh and replaced it with a delicate tea table.

The items on the table were exquisite, full of ancient charm and each had its own characteristics.

On the tea table, there was a toad exhaling white mist, resembling cold air floating, hazy and indistinct.

Yingteng Master skillfully brewed the tea, handled the tea, distributed the tea, and then personally brought a cup to Tang Fan, smiling, "My young friend, it's beneficial for you."

Tang Fan dared not refuse...

Meanwhile, by the distant old tree, Song Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that if he hadn't killed Zhang Han back then and was mistakenly taken for Zhang Han due to an unexpected turn of events, now the one being called a young friend and served tea by Yingteng Master would have been him.

Little Tang was walking into the script that should have been his...

Song Yan closed his eyes, meditating, adopting a posture of complete indifference to the outside world.

However, he dared to wager that if there weren't any issues with the tea, he'd eat the tree behind him.

As for Little Tang, he had done his best; whether he lived or died wasn't really his concern. Although he was quite tempted by the Secret Technique in the Faceless Mask, he could live without it, and at worst, he wouldn't have it.

Compared to his quiet side, the other side was indeed as lively as a tea party with laughter and chatter.

Clearly, Yingteng Master was an old hand at hosting "tea parties."

After a long while, Yingteng Master suddenly asked, "Zhang Han, did you encounter anything strange on your way here?"

Song Yan opened his eyes, recounting the matters of the Illusion Realm.

Yingteng Master remained silent for a moment, then said, "Just in time, let me tell you about it."

He continued, "There are rules in the heavens and earth, reincarnated souls are not allowed to carry the causes and effects of their past lives, but if there is a great obsession it will not dissipate, hence the world has the Sea of Suffering to specifically strip away these obsessions.

If the Sea of Suffering inadvertently connects with the Mortal World, the heavens and earth will naturally activate a Secret Realm, or even generate a Secret Realm to accommodate the overflowing aura of the Sea of Suffering.

However, the aura of the Sea of Suffering is often beyond what a single Secret Realm can accommodate.

It continuously drills outward, just like the owner of the obsession in their past life, wishing to return to the mortal world to fulfill their obsession.

Thus, they break open Secret Realms again and again, and the outside Secret Realms pile up over and over, densely packed, like a maze of nodules.

This is called the Tumor Realm.

And the Tumor Realm is the Soul Threshold."

Song Yan was taken aback for a moment.

Because the words of Yingteng Master were almost identical to an explanation he had heard in the Illusion Realm.

Yingteng Master continued, "Previously, the Soul Thresholds were often simpler Tumor Realms, perhaps only two or three Secret Realms stacked together inside, thus completing the blockage of the Sea of Suffering.

But the Changwang Soul Threshold is different, the Changwang Tiger Race is inherently a race adept in Divine Souls, over time they have also collected countless ephemeral ghosts, among which are even Crimson Palace Divine Souls, and even... Purple Mansion Divine Souls.

They are completely united, extremely difficult to disassemble, continuously creating openings to the Sea of Suffering, causing the aura inside to leak more and more severely, and the number of Secret Realms in the Tumor Realm to increase evermore.

The Illusion Technique you fell for, the Illusion Realm you saw, was just a further leakage caused by it.

The monster you saw is called the Sea of Suffering's Chang'e Mi."

Song Yan couldn't help but say, "Then isn't there a lot of Sea of Suffering's Chang'e Mi in the Tumor Realm?"

Yingteng Master said, "The creation factors of the Sea of Suffering's Chang'e Mi are extremely complex, but not so easily formed. Most of them linger at the periphery of the Tumor Realm because they urgently desire to reach the mortal world..."

Speaking to this point, the six-tailed red fox ancestor couldn't help but roll his eyes, saying speechlessly, "The mortal world has many living people, and also many causes and effects. For these monsters who take enlightenment as their duty, it is simply paradise... so, they always walk at the forefront of the leaking aura of the Sea of Suffering."

Beside him, the Deer Demon laughed and said, "Zhang Han, don't say it was just you, we were enlightened when we came in, but... as long as you don't get captivated, you can naturally leave when the time comes.

The Sea of Suffering's Chang'e Mi you killed, might also have been the one we killed when we entered."

Song Yan was stunned and said, "That thing can't be killed?"

The Deer Demon said, "It can't be killed. At least... it's not something we can kill."
