Meanwhile, Duke Heaven Zenith continued with his explanation. “At the same time, in the depths of Ten Entrails of the True Immortal, there exists a power that can drive people insane. Anyone assailed by that power goes completely mad. They can’t tell the difference between enemies and allies, and their personality changes so that they think they’re a Woe-Immortal.1

“Most bizarre of all, according to the records of the thirty-six city states, is that people who go into the depths and return alive never live long. What’s more, they all die after their bellies are ripped open and their entrails fly out and dance around.3

“In some cases, they rip open their own bellies. But sometimes... their entrails explode out from inside. Because of that, people say that the depths of the jungle contains a power that can cause a living being's entrails to come to life. Other times when people go into the depths, different things happen. Every time the tree blooms, new and different gruish phenomena appear. Because there’s no set pattern, it makes it even more dangerous.7

“That’s why our thirty-six city-states don’t go into the depths. We harvest dao fruits around the perimeter. Oh, right. There’s actually another legend about True Immortal....”3
