Not long after, an azure robed man appeared in Whitehead Gorge, and it was naturally Han Li.

When he heard the village chief speak of it earlier, he felt that the spirit spring wasn't simple. The energy of the Laws of Time contained within it had changed the physique of the villagers that were immersed within it to a certain extent, causing them to show signs of rejuvenation or decay.

If he cultivated the Major Five Element Illusory Technique here, it was extremely likely that he would be able to break through in a shorter period of time, and at that time, he would have a higher chance of dealing with the pursuit of Qi Mozi and the other dogs of the Heavenly Court.

However, the Laws of Time in this spring seemed to be unstable. According to the village chief, it would only appear once every 100 plus years, and it wouldn't last for too long. If he wanted to make use of it, then he had to find the source of the Laws.

As soon as he entered the gorge, Han Li didn't rush towards the depths of the gorge right away, and he instead inspected the jagged rocks on both sides of the gorge.

After a short moment, he really noticed something strange.

Amongst the strange rocks that were scattered all around, there were actually many talisman markings that were inscribed with golden seal characters.

Some of the talisman markings could be considered to be complete, while some were already extremely damaged, but without exception, all of them had lost their original spirituality.

"No wonder I faintly noticed a trace of the fluctuation of the Laws of Time when I passed by earlier, yet I couldn't sense it after arriving at this gorge. The concealment effect of these talisman markings really isn't bad. Even if they're already damaged, they're actually still so effective." Han Li lightly stroked the talisman markings on an enormous rock as he praised.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Since the concealment effect of this place is rather strong, then why not hide here?

In the past two years, even though the members of the Immortal Palace hadn't really caught up to him, there was always a tail behind him, causing him to not dare stop in the slightest. Every once in a while, he would release a puppet that had his own mark on it to set up a misleading formation for the pursuers.

But even then, he was never able to truly shake off the pursuit of the members of the Immortal Palace and Nine Yuan Temple.

After he made up his mind, Han Li started to carefully inspect Whitehead Gorge, and he frequently stretched out his finger to gesture in the air as he copied the talisman markings inscribed on the rocks.

It wasn't until the eastern sky turned bright that he sat down on a boulder, sweating profusely.

After working for most of the night, Han Li carefully examined all the talisman markings and repaired most of the damaged talisman markings by himself. He even moved many of the displaced boulders and tried his best to restore the original appearance of the talisman formation in the valley.

The moment the formation was completely repaired, morning mist began to rise in the valley. A layer of milky-white mist began to envelop the surroundings, almost covering the entire valley.

Han Li flew high up into the sky and released his Divine Sense to check carefully for a moment. He found that even the slight fluctuation of the power of the Laws of Time that he had sensed before had completely disappeared.

If even his Divine Sense was unable to detect the strangeness of this place, then very few people would be able to.

Han Li's figure descended into the valley once again, and he began to head towards the Spirit Spring in the depths of the valley.

Once again entering the depths of Whitehead Gorge, Han Li's gaze sank slightly when he saw the two boulders in the shape of a human. He actually found that the Spirit Spring was also enshrouded in a layer of white mist at this time.

However, the mist in the spring water was all condensed under the boulders and did not dissipate at all.

Han Li's Divine Sense swept and his gaze changed slightly. The tip of his foot touched the ground and flew forward quickly. He came to the side of the small pool formed by the accumulation of spring water and saw a few old men in the mist at a glance.

At this moment, those few people all had protruding eyes, sunken cheekbones, and gray and shriveled skin all over. Obviously, they had been dead for a long time.

Moreover, under the gaze of Han Li, the clothes on these old men also began to corrode rapidly and soon turned into ashes. The exposed flesh also corroded along with it, gradually revealing pieces of ghastly white bones.

"It seems that this time, their luck is not very good …" Han Li sighed.

Finished speaking, he stretched out a palm, reached into the pool water, and gently stirred it. He only felt a cool feeling pass through his skin, and there was no other discomfort.

While Han Li was puzzled, he suddenly felt that there was a faint warm current overflowing from the mouth of the spring in the depths of the spring water, wrapping around his palm. The feeling of the water was obviously more silky, very different from the other water around it.

As soon as that burst of warmth came into contact with his palm, Han Li immediately sensed a burst of fluctuations of the power of the law of time. The hairs on his palm began to grow at a rapid rate before falling off at a rapid rate, and this process continued without end.

Han Li slowly withdrew his palm, examined it for a moment, and said with a smile, "It can actually speed up the flow of time, it seems that there really is a hidden treasure below."

He got up and waved his hand, collecting the seven or eight skeletons in one place, and placed them by the side of the pool, and then he walked into the deep pool step by step.

When he came near the mouth of the spring, Han Li bent down, stretched out his palm, and felt for a while.

Soon, he pushed all the small stones piled up by the mouth of the spring to the side, but what was revealed below was only a small hole buried under the mud at the bottom of the pool, and there was nothing strange about it.

"It shouldn't be, even Divine Sense can't detect anything strange, could it be …" Han Li said, looking at the two giant stones above his head with a face full of doubt.

With this look, he really found that on the two giant stones, one left and one right, there was a ring engraved with a rune, but there was no spiritual power coming from it.

Han Li's eyes slightly narrowed, and a purple light lit up in his eyes. When he looked at the rune again, it had already changed.

He saw that within the two ring rune, there seemed to be a faint golden light flowing in the depths of the giant stones, like two golden carps holding their tails, swimming in opposite directions.

Han Li's heart slightly moved, and his figure floated in the air, pressing both of his palms on the two ring rune.

The Great Five Elements Fantasy Art in his body started to operate, and two golden lights flowed out from his palms, intertwined with the two ring rune, and twisted left and right.

The light on the ring rune suddenly brightened, and the speed of rotation instantly increased by several times. The two runes in the center of the two rings simultaneously lit up with golden light, and gushed down, turning into a layer of golden light curtain, completely covering the space between the two giant stones.

Han Li had already taken a step back from the giant stones, looking at the golden light door that appeared in front of him out of thin air, and his eyes were hesitant.

After a moment, he looked up at the already slightly bright sky, and made up his mind. A layer of protective treasure light lit up around his body, and the Real Polar Film also lit up on the surface of his body. His figure suddenly flashed, and he passed through the light curtain.

"Poof", a soft sound was heard, and the golden light curtain disappeared instantly, and the small pool around the small pool returned to calm.

After a short while, the water of the Tan Middle Spring gradually seeped into the ground, and the spring no longer emitted any water.

The entire pool gradually dried up, and after being basked in the sun for a long time, it had completely dried up, and no traces of spring water could be seen anymore. Only a few skeletons were left lying on the rocks beside the pool.

…

On a lonely mountain peak at the western border of the Gold Source Mountain Range …

A red-haired man with wide hands and feet like cattail leaf fans, and his skin was engraved with circles of strange patterns, was stepping on a broken puppet. He was gazing into the distance, and scarlet flames would jump up from his head from time to time.

He was Qi Mo Zi, who had been chasing after Han Li all the way here.

"This is the 136th puppet. He left his blood essence on the puppet this time, but he also left a Burning Blood Mark on it. Once we catch up to the puppet, the blood essence will be burnt out, and he won't leave a single trace for us.

Xiong Shan, why do you think this guy is so cunning? "Qi Mo Zi looked at the Youth behind him, and said with a frown.

If Han Li was here, he might not be able to recognize the appearance of this Youth, but he would definitely be familiar with his aura. This person was Vice Dao Master Xiong Shan, who had a close relationship with him in the Fire Dragon Path, and who had died at his hands in the end.

"Don't be surprised, my Lord. I have personally experienced the meticulous planning of this Friend Han, and I have paid a painful price for it. However, I didn't expect him to grow so quickly, and now he's already become a great threat to the Heavenly Court," Xiong Shan said as he recalled the past, and his heart couldn't help but be shrouded by a layer of haze.

"I originally wanted to capture him secretly, but I didn't expect that guy to directly kill his way into the Gold Source Immortal Palace, and really kill that trash Dongfang Bai. Now, even if the Heavenly Court is blind, they should have noticed him.

However, it's good that I don't have to hide my whereabouts anymore, and I can openly pursue him in the name of the Immortal Prison, "Qi Mo Zi said slowly with a thoughtful expression.

"My Lord, looking at his tracks, he's most likely heading towards the central region of the Gold Source Immortal Domain. The forces there are complicated, and I'm afraid it'll be inconvenient for us to pursue him …" Xiong Shan said hesitantly.

"Hmph, the Heavenly Court has been dissatisfied with that side for a long time. If any sect dares to stand out at this time, then it'll be a good opportunity to teach them a lesson.

However, which of the Patriarchs and Elders of these sects and clans isn't a cunning old fox?

They know how to play it safe, and won't take the initiative to get into trouble.

I'm afraid that in order to not get involved in this mess, they'll also strictly investigate to prevent Han Li from sneaking into their territory, "Qi Mo Zi said with a cold snort.

"Speaking of which, this Han Li has always been a loner, and most likely won't hide in a sect. Let's focus on the places where the various sects and forces interact, or where there are gaps, and we should be able to find something," Xiong Shan said as if he had thought of something.

Qi Mo Zi didn't say anything, and just nodded, clearly agreeing with his words.

"Let's go, I sensed a wisp of aura before, and it should be heading towards the southeast.

I want to see how long he can run! "Qi Mo Zi said after a moment.

With a wave of his hand, a fiery red flying shuttle surrounded by crimson flames appeared.

He and Xiong Shan leaped onto it one after another, and then the entire flying shuttle suddenly turned into a line of fire, streaking across the sky, and instantly disappeared over the horizon.
