This place had originally been a secret realm of gods and demons. Lin Hao surmised that what they were seeing now was not the realm's true form.
In Chu Tiandu's memory, the other eight secret realms of gods and demons were vastly different from this one.
He had an incredibly bold theory.
A hundred centuries ago, after Emperor Hongtian obtained a heaven-defying pill formula, he discovered the Flowing Light Divine Flame beneath this secret realm. He then used his supreme Divine Techniques to transform the realm. He had a Heaven-Sundering Rhinoceros plow the land, creating herb fields, and built an underground palace for a god of alchemy to practice his craft.
However, the god of alchemy was unable to complete the Refining of the Flowing Light Divine Flame. This became a lingering regret for Emperor Hongtian, who eventually perished.
'That heaven-defying pill formula is surely imbued with the Great Emperor's will. Anyone who tries to touch it is simply courting death.'
