Chapter 1039

Han Li's brows furrowed as he looked toward the source of the sound.

A crack suddenly appeared on the white jade cattail hassock that he had been sitting on. Then, it shattered with a "pa" sound.

However, the strange thing was that the cushion did not shatter into several pieces after it shattered. Instead, it turned into a layer of white powder that scattered all over the hall.

At the same time, the entire golden hall began to tremble violently, and a strange fluctuation spread out from within it.

Han Li was slightly surprised. Then, as if he had thought of something, he retreated and flew directly to the white stone plaza.

However, when he arrived outside the hall, he discovered that the shaking outside was even more intense than the shaking inside.

"Master, what happened …" The Weeping Soul Beast hurriedly flew over with the Essence Flame Firebird.

"I don't know. It seems that I've triggered some kind of mechanism in this immortal mansion. I'm afraid that something is going to happen inside the secret realm," Han Li said thoughtfully as he glanced at her.

"If that's the case, let's leave this place as soon as possible," the Weeping Soul Beast hurriedly said.

"What a pity …" Han Li nodded and sighed.

There were clearly many secrets hidden in this immortal mansion, but there was no time to explore them.

After saying that, the two of them turned around and were about to fly toward the crack in the sky. However, the moment they turned around, the two of them were stunned.

The crack in the void that connected the inside and outside of the secret realm had disappeared!

The Weeping Soul Beast's expression changed slightly as she hurriedly said, "How is this possible?

You can ask Little Goblin if you don't believe me, "the Weeping Soul Beast hurriedly said as her expression changed slightly.

The silver flame child, who was still sitting on her shoulder, hurriedly stood up and nodded heavily. The seven-colored flames on its head also shook violently.

"I believe that something must have happened to this secret realm," Han Li said with a nod.

He had already noticed the changes on the Essence Flame Firebird, but he had no time to ask about it.

"That's right, during your seclusion, this secret realm has trembled more than ten times. The most intense one was when you broke through to the late-stage.

Including this time, there have been four such tremors in the past month.

With each tremor, the mist around the secret realm will recede slightly, and new areas will be revealed, "the Weeping Soul Beast explained.

"Have you investigated those places? Did you find anything strange?" Han Li asked with a frown.

"I've only been there once, and I didn't find anything unusual.

However, the frequency of the tremors became more and more frequent, and I didn't dare to leave on my own, so I've been standing guard here, "the Weeping Soul Beast said with a shake of its head.

Han Li's brows furrowed tightly upon hearing this, and just as he was pondering what was going on, a resounding boom suddenly erupted from the palace before him, following which a streak of golden light that was over 1,000 feet thick suddenly erupted from the palace before soaring up into the heavens.

Then, the tremors in the hall suddenly calmed down.

The bewilderment in Han Li's heart couldn't be eliminated when he saw this, and his figure flashed with the intention of approaching the hall once more. In the end, he was obstructed by a shapeless force, and he was actually unable to approach the door at all.

"Master, do you feel like the earth is slowly rising?" the Weeping Soul Beast suddenly asked.

Han Li's attention had been focused on the golden light, and he immediately reacted after hearing her words.

He flew into the air and looked around. The gray mist at the edge of the secret realm surged violently, and a new territory began to appear inch by inch in Han Li's vision.

… …

Outside the Immortal Mansion Secret Realm, in the middle of the Golden Origin Mountain Range, Azure Silk Gorge.

The ground shook incessantly, producing a loud sound as if there was an earthquake.

"This, this is the earth dragon turning over!" The villagers of Surplus Grain Village rushed out of their houses and came to the open space outside.

Right at this moment, an enormous bang that sounded like a thunderclap resounded from beneath the ground, and then an enormous golden pillar of light suddenly soared up from the direction of Whitehead Gorge. It shot into the sky and shot into the clouds, and it dyed the clouds in an area of a few hundred kilometers gold.

The pillar of light was incomparably thick, and even the nearby mountains seemed minuscule in comparison.

With the golden pillar of light as the center, the nearby Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth fluctuated violently. The golden clouds in the sky did not move, producing a series of rumbling sounds as if thousands of horses were galloping.

The villagers of Surplus Grain Village were dumbfounded by this scene.

"This is a miracle, an immortal has appeared!"

No one knew who shouted, but the villagers of Surplus Grain Village knelt on the ground and worshipped the golden pillar of light.

Not to mention the ignorant villagers of Surplus Grain Village, seven or eight rays of light flew over from the southeast of Cyan Silk Col. In the blink of an eye, they arrived nearby and stopped more than ten miles away from the col. After the light faded, several cultivators appeared.

The leader was a grey-haired old woman at the Golden Celestial Stage, holding a yellow snake staff in her hand. The others were all young Youth men and women, all of whom were only at the True Celestial Stage.

They all wore the same yellow feathered robes, and it seemed that they were from the same sect.

Looking at the strange phenomenon in front of them, the Youth men and women looked excited.

"Martial Aunt Lin, such a strange phenomenon seems to be a treasure. It's a sign that the secret realm has appeared. Let's go down and take a look, we'll be in trouble if someone else comes," a fair-skinned male disciple said excitedly to the grey-haired old woman.

The others also nodded in agreement, eager to give it a try.

"Don't act rashly. This phenomenon is indeed a sign that a treasure has appeared, but it hasn't completely appeared, so going down now won't help.

Furthermore, this phenomenon is no small matter. It's not something we can control. Quickly send a message back to the sect and inform the sect master of the situation here. "The grey-haired old woman's expression was also a bit agitated, but she still maintained her calm.

When the Youth men and women heard this, they immediately took out their communication array discs to contact the sect.

At this moment, two rays of light flew over from afar and arrived near the col. Two black-robed cultivators with gloomy faces appeared. They were both Golden Immortals.

"It's the people of the Black Fiend Sect," a Youth man behind the old woman said in a low voice.

"Ignore them. Come over here." The grey-haired old woman glanced at the two men and led them to the top of a nearby mountain.

The two black-robed cultivators looked at the grey-haired old woman and the others, then retracted their gazes and flew to the top of a nearby mountain. Then, they took out their communication devices and contacted others.

The phenomenon of a huge pillar of light rising into the sky in the middle of the Gold Origin Mountain Range spread rapidly. Soon, the various forces in the Gold Origin Mountain Range knew about it, and more and more people came to this place.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Not only did the golden pillar of light not weaken, it even seemed to be growing stronger.

Inside the secret realm, Han Li stood in the secret realm, his eyes shining.

As the secret realm shook, the grey mist at its edge quickly dissipated.

At this moment, the space inside the secret realm had already doubled, gradually revealing its true appearance.

On the left and right sides of the dense forest, two tall, continuous golden mountains appeared, rising into the sky. They were like two natural moat walls, sandwiching the dense forest in the middle, forming a huge canyon terrain.

From the waist up, the golden mountains on both sides were shrouded by thick grey mist, making it impossible to see the true appearance of the mountains.

The strangest thing was that grey chains as thick as a water tank hung down from the grey mist all the way to the foot of the mountains, like a waterfall.

Grey arcs of electricity flashed on the chains, sizzling, looking rather frightening.

Han Li flew and landed at the foot of one of the mountains. Looking at the grey chains, he hesitated for a moment, then reached out and touched them.

A grey bolt of lightning shot out from the chains like a snake, striking his body.

Han Li let out a muffled groan, his body taking a step back. The area struck by the lightning was charred black.

He circulated his Celestial spiritual energy, and his charred body quickly recovered. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. The grey lightning was extremely powerful. Even with his tough body, he still found it hard to withstand it.

And this was only one bolt of lightning. If more lightning struck him, he could not guarantee that he would be unscathed.

Han Li retracted his gaze from the top of the mountain. The entrance to the space behind him was a stable void. He looked towards the depths of the canyon formed by the two mountains. The grey mist there was constantly dissipating, revealing a path that led to the depths of the secret realm.

His figure moved, and he flew in that direction.

…

At the same time, the area within a radius of a thousand miles around Green Silk Gorge was already filled with the figures of tens of thousands of cultivators.

There were many sects and factions, and various territories of various sizes had begun to be divided. It was fine for lone wolves, as long as they found a place to stand, but for sects and factions with a large number of people, they would need a large area.

The area closest to the light pillar was currently occupied by seven or eight sects and factions.

The mountain that the grey-haired old woman and her group had originally occupied had been taken away, and they were now pushed to the back.

There were three more people in their group. One was a middle-aged man with a yellow complexion, an enchanting young woman, and a white-haired old man.

The three of them were all Golden Immortals, especially the yellow-faced man, who had already reached the late-stage Golden Immortal stage. Standing at the front of the group, he seemed to be the leader.

"Ling Xiao Chapter, Worry-Free House, Radiant City, Ink Fragrance House, Qingsuo Valley, Ling Yue House, White Cloud Villa!

The top ranked factions of the Golden Origin Mountain Range are actually here, and they actually snatched our territory! "

The grey-haired woman looked at the few sects at the front, especially those from Ling Yue House, and said in a deep voice.

The territory that they had previously occupied had been snatched away by the Ling Yue House.

"There's nothing we can do. Who asked us to be weaker? Those sects all have Taiyi Realm experts holding the fort. How can our small Yellow Wind Sect compete with them?" The yellow-faced man sighed.

"According to the situation that we have been investigating these days, the phenomenon here should be the birth of a secret realm or an immortal residence. When it comes to treasure hunting, it doesn't necessarily depend on one's strength. Luck is more important," another middle-aged woman snorted and said.

When the others heard this, although they knew that it was mostly to comfort themselves, they still nodded in agreement.

"That's strange. The Heavenly Sword Sect and the Heavenly Water Sect are not in the Golden Origin Mountain Range. They are too far away from here. It's fine if they haven't come, but why don't I see anyone from the Immortal Palace?" The white-haired old man frowned and said.
