Mo Qingtian did not say anything straightaway. Instead, he brought Mo Wen into the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall. He found a room and sat down.

"The maiden that you are looking for is most likely involved in a rather complicated matter. This matter is not easy to deal with. Speaking of which, this is strange. Why is everyone and everything related to you so extraordinary?"

Mo Qingtian stared at Mo Wen with a peculiar expression. Initially, he had thought it was just a normal missing person case. However, once the Huatian Palace investigated the matter, they realized that the case was not what it appeared to be on the surface.

"Are you talking about yourself?" Mo Wen asked plainly.

"I am a special case." Naturally, Mo Qingtian knew that Mo Wen was implying that Mo Qingtian also had an extraordinary background and they were acquaintances.

"What is the matter exactly? Are you going to tell me that the Huatian Palace can't meddle in this matter?" Mo Wen asked with a frown.

"Naturally, the Huatian Palace can meddle in it. However, we might not necessarily help you with it."

Mo Qingtian rolled his eyes at Mo Wen. Did Mo Wen think that the Huatian Palace belonged to him and that he could ask the Huatian Palace to do everything for him? If it was just a normal matter, it would be an easy favor to ask. However, the Huatian Palace would not meddle in this particular affair. Mo Wen was not qualified to ask the Huatian Palace to handle this affair for him, at least for now.

Upon hearing Mo Qingtian's words, Mo Wen's expression turned serious. He naturally understood what Mo Qingtian meant. Clearly, the affair that Yun Xiaoman was involved in was rather serious. Even in the eyes of the Huatian Palace, it was not a trivial matter.

"Do you know the Sorcerer Clan?" Needless to say, Mo Qingtian could see the doubts in Mo Wen's eyes. In reality, Mo Qingtian had not expected that Yun Xiaoman's case was related to the Sorcerer Clan as well.

"Sorcerer Clan?" After thinking for a moment, Mo Wen asked, "Do you mean people who practice sorcery?"

"You could say that, but not really. People who practice Sorcery might not necessarily be from the Sorcerer Clan. Or you could say that the Sorcerer Clan is a special and powerful clan who is well-versed in sorcery. They are very connected to humans; one can even say that the Sorcerer Clan and humans are basically the same species, but the Sorcerer Clan are still very different from normal humans."

"What do you mean? Could it be that the Sorcerer Clan are not normal humans?" Mo Wen had previously encountered some special clans from the western world in Fu Sang Country. There was the Blood Kindred clan, the Stone Demons Clan, the Fallen Angel clan, etc. Those clans looked just like humans on the surface; however, they were fundamentally different from humans.

"The Sorcerer Clan is a very old clan. It is said that the Sorcerer Clan has existed since the Immemorial Age. During that time, the Sorcerer Clan was called the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan. They were definitely unrelated to humankind because humans had not existed during that time. The Immemorial Sorcerer Clan have built their heritage since the Immemorial Age, and they were at their prime during the Primeval Age. Perhaps they started to decline once they reached the summit of their power. For some unknown reasons, the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan began to decline in the late Primeval Age. In the end, they were almost wiped out."

"In reality, the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan had become a legend during the Ancient Age. However, even though the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan had gone extinct, they left behind many secret techniques and treasures. During the Ancient Age, some human immortal cultivators stumbled upon the relics of the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan by chance. Then, they practiced Sorcery and became the new Sorcerer Clan. The secret technique of the Sorcerer Clan is very bizarre. The technique can change a person's appearance and features gradually. Moreover, it can be passed down through bloodlines. Children born of parents who are both from the Sorcerer Clan will surely be a part of the Sorcerer Clan. Even if their parents were once humans, the children will not be normal humans anymore."

"Perhaps you can understand it this way. When normal humans practice Sorcery and reach a certain realm, they can be transformed into a Sorcerer Clan member. However, some Sorcery Clans are very bizarre and can cause humans to demonize. Even the children that the demonized humans give birth to will have some demonized features."

Mo Qingtian did not know much about the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan. However, all the immortal cultivators from various realms knew how the new Sorcerer Clan had come about.

"Could it be that Yun Xiaoman is related to the Sorcerer Clan?" Mo Wen identified the crux of the problem.

"Exactly. The Sorcerer Clan seldom appears in the main space. They have their own world. In the past, when the world had collapsed and the Immortal End Day had ended, a few strong practitioners from the Sorcerer Clan joined forces to carve up a huge space. The space later became the Magical Realm. However, compared to the Underworld, Devil Kingdom, Demon Realm, and Spirit Realm, the Magical Realm is just a small world."

"The maiden called Yun Xiaoman is currently in the hands of the Witchcraft Cult. They are participating in the Sorcerer Clan's Moon Maidens Selection, which happens once every millennium."

Mo Qingtian's message was clear. Yun Xiaoman was in the hands of the Sorcerer Clan. Moreover, the Sorcerer Clan was not an ordinary faction. They had a strong background.

"Moon Maidens Selection? What's that?" Mo Wen asked quizzically.

"The Moon Maidens Selection occurs once every millennium. It is a huge event that involves the entire Magical Realm. It is very important for the Sorcerer Clan. Every time, prior to the Moon Maidens Selection, aside from searching for girls in the Magical Realm who have the potential to become the Moon Maiden, the Sorcerer Clan will look for candidates from all the other realms too. Of course, the Source World is one of their searching areas too. Actually, the Sorcerer Clan has a special mystery dimension in the Source World. It is called the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension. In it are all the people who practice Sorcery. This mystery dimension is very similar to other Inner worlds; they could be considered space fragments. However, the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension is connected to the Magical Realm and it receives some help from the Magical Realm. Hence, the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension is far more powerful than other Inner worlds."

"However, the Moon Maidens Selection is very cruel. The death rate is rather high. Each time, more than a million girls participate in the selection, but fewer than a thousand people survive. Those who became Moon Maidens can be counted on two hands. There are never more than ten of them. The maiden called Yun Xiaoman is in a rather worrying situation. She will either become a Moon Maiden, who will be highly respected in the Magical Realm, or she will die," Mo Qingtian said indifferently.

The Moon Maidens Selection was a giant swirl. There was no way out of it once one was sucked into this swirl. It was considered a great honor for those who were chosen by the Sorcerer Clan and groomed as a Moon Maiden candidate. At the same time, it was a great misfortune. Once they failed, they would become stepping stones for others.

The possibility of Yun Xiaoman surviving was one in ten thousand. Her chance of becoming a Moon Maiden was one in a million.

"How do I enter the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension?" Mo Wen's expression turned cold. The death rate was actually so high! What difference was there between sending Yun Xiaoman, who was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, to join the Moon Maidens Selection, and sending her to her death?

"If you are thinking of venturing into the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension to save her, you should forgo this idea. You do not have the ability to do so at all."

Mo Qingtian shook his head. Even those Primordial Soul Realm immortal cultivators could not break into the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension, let alone Mo Wen. It was because the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension was connected to the Magical Realm. The defense of its space barrier was far stronger than that of ordinary Inner worlds. Unless Mo Qingtian personally attacked the space barrier and blasted an opening in it, Mo Wen would never be able to sneakily enter the mystery dimension.

"So, the Huatian Palace does not dare to meddle in this affair because Yun Xiaoman is in the hands of the Sorcerer Clan? That is interesting. Could it be that your Spirit Realm is afraid of the Magical Realm?" Mo Wen asked plainly. There was a glint of provocation in his eyes. At the same time, Mo Wen knew that with his own ability, it would be hard for him to save Yun Xiaoman. He provoked Mo Qingtian because he hoped that Mo Qingtian would want to save face and hence, help him to save Yun Xiaoman.
