Even though Ye Chen was still looking at the city, the system was still working normally. He was currently awake. Compared to when he talked to the Titan God in his dream, the most obvious difference was that the system page and the various options could also be clicked to view.

Ye Chen found the few maps that he had copied previously in the system.

The map in his hand was not complete. Other than the one with four red dots made by the Titan God, there were only a few maps of the various prefectures and counties in the East Continent. There was also a map that indicated the territory of the families in the East Continent. He did not have a detailed map of the other three continents.

However, Ye Chen’s current ability was not enough to go to the other continents. Just the map related to the East Continent was enough for him to study for a while.

He found the map that marked the territory of the various large families. This map did not cover the entire East Continent but it depicted a portion of the coast of the East Continent. A rather eye-catching arc could be seen on the outline of this coast, so Ye Chen had a deeper impression of this area.

After seeing the label given by the Titan God, he saw the curved coastline near one of the red dots. He could not help but take a few more glances.

With a look, he discovered some similarities between the two maps.

After enlarging the marked map, he compared it with the map he had obtained previously and realized that the original location of the fog phenomenon of the Sky Domain that the Titan God mentioned happened to correspond to the range of Maple Leaves Mountain in another map.

Maple Leaves Mountain was where the key to the cultivation art tablet of the Poison Illusion Art led to the location of the Green Unicorn Mystic Realm.

The cultivation art tablet that recorded the Poison Illusion Art was also the first cultivation art tablet with the key that Ye Chen obtained. If not for the fact that the Immortal Phoenix was sucked into the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm, Maple Leaves Mountain should have been the Mystic Realm that Ye Chen and his mutated beasts explored first.

However, Ye Chen had also planned to go there for the next destination after he had transferred the people who were currently attacking the entrance of the Primitive Burial Ground from their current location. Then, he would think of a way to take the Mystic Realm of Maple Leaves Mountain for himself. However, he did not expect that this place that had long been on the agenda would appear in front of him in such a way.

The leader of the Feather Dragons had mentioned to him before that there was an unknown fog in Maple Leaves Mountain. The fog had the effect of hiding all auras inside. Other than the mutated beasts that lived there for a long time, anyone and foreign beasts would be affected by the fog in Maple Leaves Mountain. It would give people the illusion that they were drowning when they entered the fog and eventually make them go crazy. Unless they had a certain level of strength or the help of a fire-type mutated beast with bloodline talent, no one could walk out of this area.

These descriptions of Maple Leaves Mountain indeed coincided with the mist phenomenon mentioned by the Titan God.

“This place is now called Maple Leaves Mountain. I have the key of the cultivation art tablet that leads to this place. I plan to go here later.” Ye Chen lit up the corresponding label and said to the Titan God, “You said just now that there is a dangerous fog here. Then, do you know how to resolve their illusion effect?”

He decided to ask for help about safety first.

It was easy for them to find a way in the fog with the help of the Titan God’s system. However, the illusion it brought was a problem. This fog seemed to be able to penetrate the barrier. He did not think that the Kun Peng’s Spirit Wall Space could block the fog.

“After so many years, the location of this Sky Domain has already changed to this name.” The Titan God sighed. “You want to go here? You’re lucky. This is the original location of the Sky Domain you’re very concerned about. You might have to spend some effort to go here.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen saw that the symbol that he had lit up began to enlarge. The image displayed also became clearer. The image in front of Ye Chen also suddenly changed, as if he had entered the map.

What appeared in his vision was a white fog. It was obvious that it was flowing. It was what the mutated beasts saw when they flew in the air and passed through the fog.

“Why are you showing me this?”

Ye Chen waited for a while and saw that the monotonous scene of only white fog was still continuing. He could not help but ask.

“This is the memory that it gave me after I inherited the deity position and sent a subordinate to investigate the vicinity of that Sky Domain,” the Titan God replied. “This scene is what it saw in the fog. It’s a mutated beast with fire-type Spiritual Energy, but it also has no resistance to the fog. It can only constantly consume Spiritual Energy to clear the illusionary fog around it. However, this is only the case for ordinary mutated beasts. The batch of mutated beasts from the Sun Celestial Heavens at that time wouldn’t have such a problem.”

“They’re both fire-type mutated beasts. But the difference in strength is actually so great?” Ye Chen found it a little strange.

“It’s not a difference in strength, but a matter of innate ability,” the Titan God replied. “Unlike the fire-type mutated beasts that appeared on land due to the influence of the Earth Fire, the mutated beasts of the Sun Celestial Heavens can even ignite their blood with flames. Therefore, they are born to restrain this kind of fog. The higher the level and combat strength, the more obvious the restraint. When they appear in groups, the fog might even temporarily disappear from this area.”

“Then the Immortal Phoenix will come in handy.” Ye Chen nodded. “No wonder Zhurong said that it didn’t know there was fog here.”

When he talked to Zhurong about the Maple Leaves Mountain last time, Zhurong had once said that it had never heard of an illusionary fog in its era. It must have been because the information of the Sun Celestial Heavens was blocked so they came here to check. But because of their racial talent, they didn’t see the fog in the end. Naturally, they wouldn’t know about the fog.

His thought was that Zhurong’s main body had been cultivating in order to recover its original strength. It was definitely impossible for it to search around with him so quickly. However, the Immortal Phoenix didn’t have such a problem. When he entered the Maple Leaves Mountain region, what he had to do was to let the Immortal Phoenix open the way.

However, the Titan God came up and poured cold water on it.

“Don’t jump to conclusions so early. This doesn’t mean that everything will be fine if you bring that Immortal Phoenix or Zhurong with you.” He said to Ye Chen, “Look further… We’re here.”

As he spoke, the scene suddenly became clear.
