Chapter 1038

Han Li was overjoyed. With a wave of his hand, the seven golden pills spun and flew out of the cauldron in a row. Han Li put them into a palm-sized jade bottle.

After putting away the jade bottle, he let out a long breath and walked out of the hall.

Outside the hall, Han Li looked around and waved his hand. Silver light flashed beside him, and a silver door of light slowly opened. The Weeping Soul walked out of the door.

"Master, this is …" The Weeping Soul looked around and said.

"We're currently in an unknown Immortal Mansion Secret Realm. It's safe for now. I plan to go into seclusion here for a while. If I can improve my cultivation, I'll have more means to protect myself when we're being hunted by the Immortal Palace," Han Li said.

The Weeping Soul nodded and said, "We've wreaked havoc in the Golden Origin Immortal Palace and killed the Palace Lord. I'm afraid the news has already spread throughout the Immortal Realm. The Heavenly Court won't let this go for whatever reason. They'll definitely send Grand Heavenly Immortals like Qi Mozi. It's best to stay here.

Master, you can go into seclusion without worry. The Weeping Soul will protect you, "the Weeping Soul said with a nod.

"The entrance to the Immortal Mansion Secret Realm is over there. There are original restrictions set up around it. You only need to pay attention to that side."

Han Li pointed up into the sky in the distance, where there was a barely discernible rift amid the clouds, and said, "That's right.

"Alright, I'll guard the plaza in front. I'll cultivate and protect you," the Weeping Soul replied.

Han Li suddenly noticed the changes in the Weeping Soul, and his expression changed slightly. "Come to think of it, your aura seems to have grown a lot."

The Weeping Soul smiled and said, "Master, you have a good eye.

Ever since I woke up, I can feel a faint wisp of the power of laws within my body, and it's constantly recovering and growing. However, it's accompanied by a feeling of hunger that's always difficult to satiate, "the Weeping Soul Beast said with a smile.

"Hunger?" Han Li was puzzled.

The Weeping Soul thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure. I just feel a little empty in my stomach. It's only after I devoured a lot of ghosts that I feel a little better. If I encounter a ghost cultivator in the future, I can give it a try."

"Alright.

I'll go into seclusion in front of that hall. I'll leave the rest to you, "said Han Li with a smile.

With that, the two of them passed through the flowerbed and arrived at the front hall.

The Weeping Soul Beast made its way to the sundial at the center of the plaza before sitting down with its legs crossed. Meanwhile, Han Li turned around and walked into the palace.

The furnishings in the hall were the same as before, except for the screen that blocked the entrance to the five-colored fire pit and the three white jade futons.

Han Li came to the praying mat in the middle and sat down cross-legged.

After quietly adjusting his breath for a moment, he opened his eyes and took out the white jade bottle. He poured out a golden pill and threw it into his mouth.

As soon as the pill entered his stomach, a rich Power of Law immediately spread out from Han Li's abdomen. It first filled his Dantian, and then began to flow towards his limbs and bones.

Han Li closed his eyes slightly and focused his mind. He hurriedly ran the "Major Five Elements Fantasy Art" to guide the Power of the Law of Time toward specific acupuncture points in his body.

After a moment, he frowned slightly and opened his eyes. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

The white jade praying mat beneath him had circular patterns that were like water ripples. They lit up with layers of golden halos that slowly rippled from his body. Then, the other two empty praying mats also rippled with golden light.

It was as if a layer of golden liquid had been poured over the entire hall, causing ripples of golden light to ripple in the air.

Han Li felt that he was surrounded by a special fluctuation of the Law of Time. His whole person fell into an indescribable strange state.

He was overjoyed and hurriedly composed his mind. He made a gesture with both hands and ran the "Major Five Elements Fantasy Art" again.

As he ran the cultivation method, five balls of golden light appeared around his body and rotated around him. They were the Wheel of Truth, the Purified Bottle of Time, the Dongyi Divine Wood, and the other three objects of the Law of Time.

On these five objects of the Law of Time, more than 1,600 balls of Dao patterns flashed, and the powerful fluctuations of the Law of Time were transmitted from them, making one's heart palpitate.

After the manifestation of the Wheel of Truth and the other treasures appeared, the golden light that enshrouded the entire golden palace began to converge like flower petals, enveloping Han Li within. In the end, it transformed into a massive golden flower bud.

Han Li felt the power of the Law of Time flowing into his body, and he suddenly felt extremely surprised.

He knew that there must be hidden secrets in this Secret Realm, but now the matter of cultivation was the most urgent, and everything could only wait until he came out of seclusion.

…

Time flew, and more than 200 years had passed.

On the white jade square in the Immortal Mansion Secret Realm, a black-clothed girl sat cross-legged next to the sundial, looking at the Void Crack in the distance. Her eyes were slightly gloomy, and no one knew what she was thinking.

On her shoulder, there was a small silver person sitting cross-legged. It was nearly five inches tall, and its whole body was covered in silver flames. There were seven different colored flames on its head, and it looked like it had a head of seven-colored fire hair.

The girl was the Weeping Soul, and the little fellow sitting on her shoulder was the Essence Flame Fire Bird, who had already come out of seclusion.

After completely refining the Seven-colored Fire Cinnabar, the height of the Firebird in its human form had clearly increased by a lot. On its head, there were even seven strands of extremely recognizable Seven-colored Flames.

Unlike the girl, who was looking at the Void Crack in the distance, the little silver person was facing the golden hall behind her, and it was swaying its two slender legs, looking a little unhappy.

"Little spirit, are you also hoping that master will come out of seclusion as soon as possible?" The Weeping Soul sensed the Essence Flame Fire Bird's mood and asked with a smile.

The latter nodded heavily, and the seven-colored flames on its head suddenly flickered a few times.

The Weeping Soul knew that the little fellow was eager to show Han Li the power of the Seven-Colored Fire Cinnabar it had swallowed, and it shook its head in resignation.

When it had just come out of seclusion a few days ago, the silver flames on its body had been wrapped in wisps of seven-colored flames, and it had almost been unable to suppress them and burned down all the trees in the secret realm.

Fortunately, the Weeping Soul had acted in time to prevent the flames from spreading to the buildings. However, the trees in front of it had all been burned down, and even half of the white jade square had been charred black.

Right at this moment, the entire square suddenly shook violently, and even the entire secret realm began to shake.

The Weeping Soul's eyes narrowed, and it abruptly leaped into the air.

The Essence Flame Fire Bird on its shoulder seemed to have been startled, and it staggered and almost fell off the Weeping Soul's shoulder.

After flying into the air, the Weeping Soul looked down and saw that the gray mist that shrouded the edge of the secret realm was roiling violently, and it seemed to be faintly retreating.

As the gray mist retreated, the area of the Immortal Abode secret realm gradually expanded.

"This is the third time since the beginning of the month …" the Weeping Soul murmured to itself.

This was not the first time it had seen something like this, but each time, the roiling of the mist seemed to increase, and the area that was exposed around it grew larger.

After about ten breaths, the tremors on the ground completely disappeared, and the surrounding gray mist gradually stopped roiling.

The Weeping Soul looked at the golden palace where Han Li had gone into seclusion, and there was a hint of worry in its eyes.

As early as 80 years ago, Han Li had already broken through to the Late-stage Taiyi realm, and at that time, he had caused quite a few strange phenomena in the secret realm. However, for some reason, he had not chosen to come out of seclusion at that time, and had continued to cultivate until now.

…

At night.

The golden palace was overflowing with light, and a translucent golden flower bud stood in the center of the palace.

Within the flower bud, one could see Han Li sitting cross-legged, and his skin was as translucent as beautiful jade, almost transparent. Through the surface of his skin, one could even see the faint golden bones and clear meridians and veins within.

On the surface of his body, immortal apertures were flickering with golden light, there were a total of 359 of them.

Han Li's current cultivation had reached the peak of the Taiyi realm!

Beneath him, the light of the circular patterns on the three white jade cattail hassocks had become rather dim, and there were no longer ripples of golden light. Clearly, the power of the Law of Time contained within them had almost been exhausted.

At this moment, Han Li's tightly shut eyes suddenly trembled slightly, and he slowly opened them. There seemed to be golden light gushing out of his eyes, and it was three inches long.

"Phew …"

He suddenly opened his mouth, and a wisp of white mist was slowly exhaled from it.

After a moment, Han Li's expression calmed down a little, and he slowly blinked his eyes. All the strange phenomena around him began to slowly dissipate like mist, and even the golden light in his eyes disappeared.

At this moment, his entire body's essence, qi, and spirit were complete, and his entire body's divine light was restrained.

At first glance, one might not feel anything strange, but if one looked at him for a moment, one would feel that his body seemed to be enveloped by a layer of faintly discernible divine light, which was the sign that a Taiyi Jade Fairy's body should have when it had reached a completely transparent state.

"Looks like this is the only way. It's impossible to break through to the Zenith Heaven realm in one go …" Han Li muttered to himself.

After saying this, he laughed at himself, feeling that he was a little too greedy.

In just over two hundred years, he had directly reached the peak of the Taiyi realm from the Middle-stage of the Taiyi realm, and was only a step away from becoming a Zenith Heaven.

Although he had the support of this strange environment, the assistance of the seven Dao Cores with the Law of Time, and the more than nine hundred opened Immortal Apertures as a foundation, such a breakthrough speed was still shocking.

If this were to spread, most cultivators would not believe it at all.

When Han Li thought of this, he was also overjoyed.

After sitting quietly for a moment, he slowly stood up and stretched his body. His whole body emitted a crackling sound like popping beans.

Just as he was about to walk out of the hall, he suddenly heard a soft "click".
