After hearing You Huan's answer, the sword immortal who asked the question nodded slightly and said with a sigh:
"Yes, the corpse of the Heavenly Dao... We immortals caused the Heavenly Dao to decline and fall from the sky for our own selfish desires, and we have been chasing after Him one after another..."
Joshua listened and looked down at the ground with interest.
Even though the entire world was suppressed by the assistance from Fenyu, the undulations on the earth that resembled muscle texture were still clearly visible.
The Way of Heaven is the embodiment of the natural rules of the world of immortals and can be seen as a membrane of truth that envelops the entire world.
In pursuit of a higher level of truth, the immortals choose to touch this ethereal heavenly way.
——Even further, they tried to merge with the Way of Heaven, using their own method of integrating with the Way to touch the great way that had become their obsession.
This process, perhaps triggering some kind of rejection reaction, or perhaps due to improper operation by the immortal, ultimately led to the "death" of the Heavenly Dao.
When the Heavenly Dao died, His body fell from the sky and turned into the earth.
From the beginning to the end, the polluted lines on the earth that You Huan saw with the help of the Azure Dragon's Eye were all part of the corpse of Heaven.
All living beings live unknowingly stepping on the corpse of Heaven.
The "pollution" of this world is the "corpse gas" emitted by the rotting corpse of the Heavenly Dao.
Today's so-called True Saint Wonderland is the world inside a corpse.
It is for this reason that after the immortal vein overturned, a large amount of dark red gas erupted - that was the corpse gas inside the Heavenly Dao erupting after the corpse cracked.
The leaders would come out from underground because, for the sake of the Great Dao, they had long ago chosen to merge with the corpse of Heavenly Dao and became a kind of creature that moved inside the corpse - or even worse, a part of the corpse.
This is the truth behind the changes in the Floating Immortal World!
You Huan had already come to this conclusion through everything he had seen along the way.
This also explains why the spells used by the immortals seemed to be performed by the earth in his eyes.
In the immortals' distorted cognition, they are still using magic as they did in the past, but in fact, every time they use magic, they are actually taking advantage of their connection with the Heavenly Dao and letting the corpse of the Heavenly Dao fulfill their various needs.
However, after roughly understanding the truth, there were still some aspects he had not yet found out.
For example, why was Fuxian closed after the mutation, and what was the connection between these ordinary immortals who seemed to be moving freely and the way of heaven.
At this time, Joshua raised his head and said meaningfully,
"It has already happened, so there is no need to say more. Take us to the inside of the corpse. If you continue to let the Heavenly Dao that you 'respect' go in the wrong direction, your world will only slide into an irreparable abyss."
"Madam, you don't want to completely lose your sanity, do you?"
"..." The sword fairy who asked the question was silent for a while, "You are very perceptive." Obviously, she is the current leader of Chongxiao Sect.
An immortal who lives independently and has not merged with the Heavenly Dao like other sect leaders.
"I can show you the way to the inner part of the True Saint Fairyland, but we immortals cannot enter it, otherwise we will repeat the mistakes of Qingyuan and Yulong."
You Huan had never thought of asking immortals for help, otherwise it would be hard to say whether these immortals would be his helpers or the enemy's helpers.
"Nothing, but can the Sect Master tell us about the possible enemies inside the True Saint Fairyland?"
"If we talk about the great enemies that you two will face..." The head of the Chongxiao Sect paused, "I'm afraid it will be the heads and deputy heads of each sect and generation. To be honest, except for a few, all the surviving heads and deputy heads have been attracted by the corpse of the Heavenly Dao."
"Besides, the enemy that is even more difficult to deal with is probably the corpse of the Heavenly Dao itself."
"The environment is so strange that if the special sword spirit I practiced had not awakened me, I would have been lost in it like the other sect leaders."
"After that, I no longer dared to approach the Heavenly Dao, so I moved my real sect to the high altitude of the North Sea, as far away from the earth as possible."
The earth, the sky...
You Huan had long anticipated the strange environment in the True Saint Fairyland, but it was the last words of the Sect Leader that aroused some thoughts in him.
He glanced up.
The higher you go, the farther away you are from the corpse of the Heavenly Dao that has already fallen to the earth, and the "safer" you will be.
In addition to Chongxiao Sect, perhaps other forces have also borrowed such a "treasure land", and even borrowed it more thoroughly...
But now is not the time to think about this.
The headmaster, along with another celestial being who was accompanying him, led him and Joshua towards the corpse of the Celestial Dao.
The last time they entered the True Saint Wonderland, they discovered that they had not reached the core of the place.
And the method to enter the core area, that is, the real cavity of the Corpse of Heaven, is indeed in the hands of the Immortal Sect.
In the cold shallow sea adjacent to the land, they approached a natural ocean whirlpool.
"Once you enter from here, you two will be recognized as members of the Immortal Sect and will be qualified to enter the 'inside'." The Sect Master explained seriously like a responsible tour guide.
"Once you enter, you will 'see' the path leading to the interior. Put aside distracting thoughts, transcend your own cognition, and you will eventually walk into the interior."
"That is where everything begins, and that is where everything ends."
"It sounds interesting." Joshua flapped his wings, observed the vortex in a circle, and then nodded to You Huan, meaning that he found no problems.
You Huan nodded slightly, then turned his head to the head of Chongxiao Sect and said, "If we don't come out for a long time, you can also consider leaving this world."
Then the dragon and the beast dived into the underwater whirlpool.
Seeing their figures disappear in the blink of an eye, the leader immediately flew upwards as if he didn't want to stay here at all.

During this time, several earthly immortals flew over on flying swords.
One of the immortals asked in a hard voice: "Why did the master allow them to go in and prevent us from going in to practice?"
The headmaster remained calm on the surface, secretly thinking that these were a bunch of idiots who only knew how to practice sword skills. If it weren't for her daily worrying, the Chongxiao Sect, which already had few people, would have been wiped out long ago.
He said in a high and cold voice: "The True Saint Fairyland is definitely not a good place. Your intention to sharpen your sword is very good, but you must not rush in. If you enter that place, you will lose your sword will within a few breaths, and lose your sword heart within a dozen breaths, and you will never be able to return from then on."
The younger generations of earthly immortals still felt regretful after hearing this, and asked one after another: "Master, is that place really so dangerous?"
The head of the sect said solemnly: "That is a place beyond the boundaries of sanity."
——Just as the head of Chongxiao was giving her disciples numerous instructions, You Huan and Joshua entered what she called "a place beyond the boundaries of sanity."
Wave after wave of gentle waves came from afar, soaking the hair near the soles of his feet. You Huan raised his paw and looked around. He was on a beach that was somewhat similar to the North Sea outside.
But this place is even quieter and more deserted than the North Sea. The rugged reefs present a silent, dark, and blasphemous posture, distributed in strange patterns in the gray-blue sea.
At a glance, the cold, gray, and boring sea water stretches into the boundless distance, connecting with the equally gray sky at the horizon.
Faintly one can see a shape that is so huge that it is unimaginable, and so vague that its shape cannot be described, standing there.
That was the core area of the True Saint Wonderland that they failed to find the last time they came in.
Before heading there, he looked at Joshua who had already flown up and was shaking off the water: "What the hell is going on here?"
The conversation with the headmaster just now has revealed that Joshua has discovered something he didn't know.
Joshua subconsciously looked up at the sky and succinctly said one word: "Nurture."
Then he explained in detail: "I can see that all the immortals are connected to this huge corpse by an 'umbilical cord'."
"The path for immortals to advance is the process of being reborn by the way of heaven."
"In the human immortal stage, they gradually resonate with the Heavenly Dao, and eventually become the 'fetus' of the Heavenly Dao."
"During the Earthly Immortal stage, they are born as 'fetuses' and act outside."
"At the celestial stage, after experiencing the separation from their 'mother', they once again seek ways to merge with their mother. Those sect leaders who reach the highest level transform from 'adults' back into unborn eggs in their mother's womb."
"The immortal may have used the will of living things to influence the dead Tiandao, causing Tiandao, with the help of those leaders, to work on one thing 'inside', that is, to give birth to a 'real' 'living' fetus."
"But the Heavenly Dao has long been dead. How can a dead thing give birth to a living thing? Those corpses of gods are its failed works, its dead babies."
"So I say, Heaven's Way is heading in the wrong direction. If it continues like this, it will only drag the whole world down with it." (End of this chapter)
