Chapter 178 Testing the Waters, Random Teleportation, Encounter
Just then, a figure flashed outside the hall, and two white-robed elders entered.
Their hair and beards were silver, their robes fluttering, making them appear like immortals. They
were none other than the Nascent Soul stage elders of the Star Palace.
With their appearance, all eyes turned to them.
“Why is it them?”
Some Nascent Soul stage cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths frowned, some narrowed their eyes, and some had uncertain expressions.
Only the cultivators from the neutral forces breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the two from the Star Palace.
One of the two, a kind-looking old man, stepped forward and spoke gently:
“This time, the two Holy Lords are in seclusion and unable to oversee the Void Heaven Palace expedition. Elder Jin and Elder Tang have important matters to attend to and are also unable to participate in this grand event. Therefore, Elder Ximen and I will be in charge of supervision.”
“The rules for this treasure hunt are the same as in previous years. Anyone who bullies the weak or kills to steal treasures during the search will be stopped by us if we encounter them. Those who do so will be hunted down and killed by our Star Palace. We hope everyone will abide by the outer hall rules.”
“Of course, this supervision by our Star Palace is only effective in the outer hall…”
“Once inside the inner hall, we will no longer interfere.”
“Therefore, cultivators without sufficient confidence must stop in the outer hall and not act recklessly…”
These two from the Star Palace spoke with an air of “we’re doing this for your own good,” and those who didn’t understand might actually believe them.
But in reality, these two wished for all the cultivators who came to search for treasure to die.
Especially towards the high-level cultivators of both the righteous and demonic paths, these two were filled with intense malice.
They were determined to kill as many as possible.
Therefore,
Han Li, who knew the true nature of the two from the Star Palace, didn’t listen to a single word.
The righteous and demonic paths didn’t listen to a word either.
If they, as Nascent Soul cultivators, really wanted to kill a few fools, what could the two from the Star Palace do to them?
Pretending, putting on airs.
Hmph.
Sure enough, the barbarian swept his gaze around the scene, finally settling on a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.
This person, a mere mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, actually occupied a thick jade pillar in the center of this space?
“An ignorant little brat.”
The barbarian thought to himself, then flew over as lightly as a swallow and landed heavily on the jade pillar.
His tall and burly figure gave the Core Formation cultivator, who was originally sitting cross-legged and meditating, an unparalleled sense of oppression.
The mid-stage Core Formation cultivator was startled awake and hurriedly opened his eyes to check the situation.
Meeting the barbarian’s icy gaze, he opened his mouth, only to find it dry.
The next moment, the barbarian spoke.
A single, simple word:
“Get lost!”
His voice echoed loudly throughout the space.
The middle-aged man, at the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation, felt a chill run down his spine, followed by a bone-chilling fear.
Without hesitation, he scrambled to his feet and swiftly flew to the empty jade pillar at the edge of the area.
“Not bad,”
the barbarian grinned, giving the two Star Palace elders a provocative look.
It was as if he were saying:
What are you two old dogs?
Do you really think you’re the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars or those mid-stage Nascent Soul experts of the Star Palace?
Setting rules?
I, a mere early Nascent Soul cultivator, will disregard the rules; what can you two do to me?
The two Star Palace enforcement elders exchanged a glance, both shocked and furious.
“Fellow Daoist Man, what is the meaning of this?”
“Nothing else, I just don’t like that little thing, so I made him move. What, do you two want to have a go at me over such a trivial matter?”
Man Huzi looked eager to fight and wanted to get beaten up.
The two elders of Xinggong snorted in unison, no longer wanting to make a fool of themselves by dwelling on the matter.
In truth, even if the two of them joined forces, they would probably not be a match for Man Huzi.
Even with the help of some of the restrictions here, they could only maintain a stalemate.
“This Man Huzi…”
It wasn’t just the two wicked old men of Xinggong who hated Man Huzi.
There was also the middle-aged man who had just been chased away to make way for the pillar.
At this moment, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth secretly:
“Man Huzi, you’re very good, very good…”
“There were so many empty pillars, and you had to take mine…”
The middle-aged man’s eyes were slightly red, and he felt extremely wronged.
“I, Bu Xu, have never suffered such humiliation in my entire life!”
“You just wait, when I reach the Nascent Soul stage, I will settle accounts with you.”
Today’s grudge will be repaid tenfold in the future.
He firmly believed that he could reach that stage.
Back then, he was lucky enough to obtain the ancient “Splitting Yuan Pill” from the belly of a level four demon beast, saving him at least a hundred years of arduous cultivation during the Foundation Establishment stage with dual spiritual roots.
It was with the help of the Splitting Yuan Pill that he reached the Pseudo-Core stage at lightning speed.
Then, he naturally and smoothly condensed his Golden Core.
In the two hundred years that followed, he not only overcame the bottleneck of the early Core Formation stage, but is now a cultivator at the peak of the mid-Core Formation stage.
If it weren’t for the bottleneck that limited him and caused him to waste some time, he, who is not yet three hundred years old, should already be a master of the late Core Formation stage.
He entered the Void Heaven Palace this time to find spiritual medicine to break through the bottleneck of cultivation in the outer hall.
Afterwards, he will go deep into the inner hall to find resources to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
As long as he could reach the late stage of Core Formation, and with his remaining two hundred years of lifespan, he believed he had a good chance of condensing his Nascent Soul.
“Barbarian Beard.
Sooner or later, I’ll turn you into a skeleton in a tomb. “
Han Li didn’t know, nor did he want to know, the thoughts of Bu Xu, the two elders of the Star Palace, and Barbarian Beard .
He was currently focused entirely on his trip to Extreme Yin Island.
“I need to find a way to tamper with these people.”
“Otherwise, I can’t easily go up to the fifth floor of the inner hall.”
The best way would undoubtedly be to follow them closely.
However, constantly monitoring them with divine sense would inevitably attract the attention of both the righteous and demonic paths.
That would be counterproductive.
Moreover, the Void Heaven Palace is heavily guarded with restrictions, and many places would limit the effectiveness of divine sense. If he wasn’t careful, he could easily get caught in the restrictions along the way and waste time.
Therefore,
if he could tamper with the Core Formation stage cultivators on Extreme Yin Island,
he could follow them unnoticed and reap the benefits.
“I hope I can encounter one or two of them in the Ghost Mist Trial Area on the first level.”
…
After that,
everyone waited for three more days.
Until the passage gate closed, this place was completely isolated from the outside world.
A white jade teleportation array appeared.
After giving a few more instructions, the two from Xinggong stepped forward to test it:
“Alright, this random teleportation array works fine. Teleporting in from here will take you to the outer hall of the Void Heaven Palace.”
“Everyone, please take care.”
As they spoke, they glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Han Li, who was dressed in the robes of the White Water Sword Sect.
After speaking, they stepped onto the teleportation array one after the other.
A flash of white light, and they disappeared one after another.
Before the others could react, Wan Tianming and the other Nascent Soul cultivators moved first, descending from the jade pillars without hesitation to the teleportation array.
The white light flashed three times in succession, and three Nascent Soul cultivators from the righteous path teleported away.
After them came the beautiful woman wielding a sheathed sword, Madam Wen.
She walked very quickly, showing no intention of getting involved with Ji Yin and the others.
“You two go too, but be careful, don’t rush through the Ghost Mist Zone. If you’re unlucky enough to encounter a Nascent Soul stage expert from the Demonic Path, wait until they leave before choosing a path. If they’re really in trouble, throw out the Azure Fire Thunder to buy time to escape.”
Seeing the Azure Fire Thunder, the Nascent Soul stage expert from the Demonic Path should hold back.
“If you encounter those three from the Righteous Path, just show weakness.”
The old monsters from the Righteous Path still have some sense of shame and don’t bully the weak.
Unlike the Yin-type from the Demonic Path, who only pick on the weak.
“Yes, my husband.”
Yuan Yao and Yan Li stepped onto the white jade teleportation array.
In that instant, the two used the Fusion Spirit Technique,
trying to see if they could teleport to the same place.
Although it’s a random teleportation array, it’s not impossible to use the mechanism to try and gain some advantage.
“Ancestor, what about us…?”
The people from the Yin-type island looked at the Yin-type.
“Let’s go. This teleportation array has a limited lifespan; it will disappear in a while. It won’t reappear for another month.”
That will also be the time when the Void Heaven Palace Secret Realm ends.
Ji Yin said, grabbing Wu Chou and stepping onto the teleportation array.
The remaining three from Ji Yin Island followed closely behind.
Just then, Han Li bypassed Qing Yi, who was about to step onto the teleportation array, and entered the array alongside the last three from Ji Yin Island.
Before teleporting, he subtly patted the shoulders of the two in front of him,
imprinting two divine sense marks on them.
At the same time, he turned back and smiled.
“Huh?”
Qing Yi and Man Hu Zi exclaimed in surprise.
After exchanging a glance, their expressions became more serious:
“Nascent Soul stage?”
A Nascent Soul cultivator they didn’t recognize!
The key was that they had been deceived by the other party’s concealment methods!
They only noticed it when the other party made a move.
“Interesting.”
Man Hu Zi grinned, putting his arm around Qing Yi’s shoulder and stepping onto the teleportation array.
Qing Yi was unwilling but helpless.
He was simply no match for Man Hu Zi.
Man Hu Zi’s arm was thicker than his thigh.
What could he do?
“Hurry up.”
The sect leader of Miao Yin Sect reminded them.
Zi Ling and Gan Rushuang landed shortly after.
Some mid-stage Core Formation cultivators nearby, who had initially wanted to rush ahead, stopped upon sensing Gan Rushuang’s late-stage Core Formation cultivation and tactfully gave way:
“Please, three fairies.”
“Thank you, fellow Daoist,”
the three women replied with smiles.
At this moment, Bu Xu felt as if a spring breeze was caressing his face, his mind and spirit refreshed.
When his cultivation advanced further, he would enjoy wine and conversation with these three beauties, admiring the autumn moon together.
Then,
it was his turn to teleport.
After a dizzying moment, he found himself on a desolate and gloomy small hill.
Not far away, there was only one figure.
The other’s cultivation was the same as his, only mid-stage Core Formation.
Strictly speaking, not as advanced as his peak mid-stage Core Formation, more like someone who had only recently broken through to the mid-stage Core Formation. Compared to a seasoned mid-stage Core Formation cultivator like himself, the other’s magical power, spiritual sense, and other foundations were definitely inferior.
‘Thank goodness, thank goodness, it’s just mid-stage Core Formation.’ Bu
Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
“Fellow Daoist, what’s your name?”
Han Li turned around and glanced at the man, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
“This person, didn’t I knock him unconscious and check him outside the Void Heaven Palace before?”
It seems he slipped through the net.
“Fellow Daoist?”
Seeing Han Li’s silence and strange look, Bu Xu felt a little uneasy.
“My name is Li Feiyu, what’s your name, Fellow Daoist?”
“Bu Xu.”
“Hmm?”
What was this person’s name again?
Bu Xu?
That sounds familiar.
Just then, another teleportation beam descended, and a graceful figure appeared not far from the two of them.
Seeing the elegant figure in purple robes, Han Li’s lips twitched.
This random teleportation array is really random.
How could we run into each other like this?
Bu Xu’s eyes lit up when he saw the newcomer:
“Fairy, what a coincidence.”
“Greetings, Fellow Daoist, greetings…”
After regaining her senses, Zi Ling first gave Bu Xu a graceful bow.
When she saw Han Li, her beautiful eyes lit up:
“Senior, we… meet again.”
“It’s been decades. Congratulations on condensing your Golden Core. Don’t call me senior; we’re both in the Core Formation stage, just address each other as peers.”
Han Li smiled gently.
“It’s been decades. Senior, how come you’ve become a mid-Core Formation cultivator again?”
Zi Ling smoothed her hair at her temples, revealing her smooth profile.
“Your aptitude is lacking; reaching the mid-stage of Core Formation is already your limit. My purpose in entering the Void Heaven Palace is to find spiritual herbs to enhance my cultivation. And you? How have you been these past few years?”
