Chapter 1148

Within the abode in the green mountain range, Han Li was still in closed door cultivation to charge into the Golden Immortal Realm.

In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

The golden light in Han Li's secret chamber grew brighter and brighter. Even though there were restrictions blocking it, it still began to seep outside.

Powerful fluctuations of the Law of Time rippled throughout the cave abode.

As for Lan Yan, she was disturbed by the power of the Law of Time and had stopped cultivating long ago. She was quietly waiting for Han Li to come out of seclusion.

She had vaguely guessed the purpose of Han Li's seclusion, and her heart was rather complicated.

If Han Li succeeded in advancing to the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm, his strength would improve greatly. Although they did not know what he was plotting, it would definitely be disadvantageous to the Nine Elements Temple.

However, after his strength greatly increased, his personal safety would greatly increase, and Lan Yan herself would also be relatively safer.

Moreover, if Han Li were to ascend to the Grand Heavenly Realm, her usefulness to him would be greatly reduced. With Han Li's temperament, he might even release her soon enough.

If Han Li failed to advance into the Grand Immortal Realm, he would have to continue living such a precarious life. She would have to constantly be in danger as well, and the time she had to stay by Han Li's side would be greatly extended. Who knew when she would be able to regain her freedom?

Lan Yan's mood was complicated. She couldn't tell whether she hoped that Han Li would succeed or fail.

Just as she was in a dilemma, a loud noise came from Han Li's secret chamber.

After that, an enormous fluctuation of the Laws rumbled and spread out, and it swept through the entire abode like a raging wave. All the restrictions in the abode buzzed and trembled, and more than half of them shattered.

Lan Yan was also pushed back by this fluctuation of the Laws of Time, and she only stopped when she slammed into the wall of the cave.

She looked towards Han Li's secret chamber. The golden light had already vanished, and she knew that Han Li had failed to ascend to the Grand Immortal Realm. She could not help but sigh as if it was a pity.

"Looks like I still hope that he can advance successfully …" Lan Yan raised her eyebrows and muttered.

In the secret chamber, Han Li frowned with a solemn expression.

Just as Lan Yan had guessed, his charge into the Golden Immortal Realm this time ended in failure.

It was nothing much. His cultivation base was not damaged, but he could not find the cause of the failure.

Han Li now had more than two hundred Time Law Crystal Threads in his body. The number of Time Law Crystal Threads that an ordinary Zenith Heaven cultivator could comprehend and condense was only this many. The power of law should be enough. He had also opened up 359 Immortal Apertures and his physical body was extremely strong. His spirit was also much stronger than the ordinary Peak Stage Taiyi cultivator because he cultivated the Art of Spirit Cultivation. His Art of Five Elements Illusory World was also at a sufficient level.

His cultivation of Elemental Illusory Art was also sufficient.

Han Li fell into deep thought as he carefully thought back to how he had broken through to the Perfected Golden Immortal Realm, and he gradually came to the conclusion that the problem most likely stemmed from the Crystalline Law Threads.

Everything was fine when he tried to break through to the Grand Luo realm, but the two hundred or so Law Crystal Threads suddenly became chaotic, causing the Immortal spiritual energy in his body to become chaotic as well.

"Could it be that there are too few Crystalline Law Threads?" Han Li speculated.

If the problem was with the Laws of Crystal Threads, he could not think of any other reason other than the lack of Laws of Crystal Threads.

This problem was not unsolvable. He just had to find some treasures that contained the Laws of Time and use the Elemental Illusory Art to refine them.

It was just that items that contained the Laws of Time were precious and difficult to find in a short time.

Moreover, he had two hundred Laws of Time Crystal Threads in his body, but it was still not enough. He did not know how many threads he would need to increase to reach the Golden Immortal Realm. He would definitely need many items that contained the Laws of Time.

"By the way, how could I have forgotten about the Divine Time Lamp? This treasure is imbued with an extremely vast amount of the power of the laws of time. I'll only have to extract a small portion of it, and that'll definitely be enough." Han Li slapped his own forehead before flipping his hand over to produce the Divine Time Lamp that he had obtained not long ago.

The flame of the lamp was still extinguished.

Along the way, Han Li had tried to reignite the flame of the lamp many times but to no avail.

Although the Sacred Lamp of Time was not reignited, it still emitted waves of powerful Laws of Time.

Han Li immediately used the Elemental Illusory Art, and the Mantra Treasure Wheel and other items appeared again.

He quickly formed seals with both hands, and the five Laws of Time entwined with each other and compressed to form a thick golden halo.

Han Li narrowed his eyes and pressed his hands in the air.

With a rumble, the thick golden halo shrank again and turned into a golden ring. As it rotated, it revealed a powerful devouring force.

A hint of elation appeared on Han Li's face, but it quickly faded as he pointed a finger at it.

The golden ring flew out, wrapped around the Sacred Lamp of Time, and rotated rapidly.

A powerful devouring force enveloped the Sacred Lamp of Time, trying to extract the Laws of Time from it.

However, the Elemental Illusory Art, which had always been successful in the past, failed this time. No matter how the golden ring rotated and extracted, the Laws of Time in the Sacred Lamp of Time did not budge.

"Is it because the grade of the Sacred Lamp of Time is too high?"

As Han Li thought about it, he activated the golden ring for a while, but it was still in vain, so he stopped. He secretly guessed, but he was not too surprised.

This was because this situation had happened before, and that was the golden disc that he had obtained from the ruins of the Truth Sect.

Han Li had tried to use the Elemental Illusory Art to extract the Laws of Time from the golden disc, but it ended in failure.

Now that the Sacred Lamp of Time had failed again, it seemed that this lamp was a treasure of the same grade as the golden disc.

The golden disc might be of a higher grade, because Han Li could barely control the Sacred Lamp of Time, but he could not move the golden disc at all.

Han Li played with the Sacred Lamp of Time, smiled bitterly, and put it away.

After a moment of silence, he flipped his hand and took out the mask of the Samsara Temple, and posted a trading task to buy items containing the Laws of Time at a high price.

Han Li had been killing people and robbing treasures all these years, so he did not have to worry about the shortage of Immortal Meta Stones.

Now, apart from the Samsara Temple, he could not find any other way to collect treasures containing the Laws of Time, so he could only wait.

After doing this, Han Li closed his eyes and meditated for a moment. Then he ran the Elemental Illusory Art again, trying to find other problems. A dazzling golden light wrapped his body.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

In the secret chamber, Han Li was meditating with his legs crossed, shrouded in a layer of golden light. Around him, five objects of the Laws of Time were suspended in the Void, floating up and down around him. The whole secret chamber was rippling with a layer of the Laws of Time.

At this moment, Han Li suddenly opened his eyes and frowned.

After he stood up, the five objects of the Laws of Time flashed and entered his body, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

The next moment, Han Li had arrived outside the secret chamber and stood behind Lan Yan.

Just as Lan Yan was in a state of shock, Han Li grabbed her by the neck and a golden rune slithered up like a spirit snake, wrapping around her body and causing her to instantly freeze in place, rendering her unable to move.

"I'm sorry, Fellow Lan …"

As soon as Han Li's voice fell, a violent roar sounded around him.

The mountain where his cave residence was located was directly blasted by a powerful force, and a small part of the mountain was directly overturned. The entire cave residence was exposed to the bright sun.

Han Li was still holding Lan Yan's neck with one hand, looking up at the sky.

An enormous crystal throne floated high in the sky. It was shaped like a lotus flower, and it was crystalline and translucent. A woman in a green dress with fair skin and a graceful figure sat on it. She was naturally Ingenious Spell Immortal Exalt who'd come in pursuit.

Holding his left cheek with one hand, he looked at Han Li with a slight frown, and there was a look of disgust in his eyes.

When Han Li sensed the fluctuation of the aura of a Middle-stage Zenith Heaven cultivator, his pupils could not help but shrink slightly. This person seemed to be sitting lazily, but the pressure he gave off was even more terrifying than Qi Mozi and the others.

Behind him stood two twin maidservants in green chiffon dresses. Both of them were in their twenties and had delicate features. One was holding a Treasure Canopy Umbrella, and the other was holding a Peacock Feather Fan. Their auras were not weak, comparable to an Early-stage Primordial Unity cultivator.

"Haha, I thought that the guy who could make She Chan fall would be a powerful figure, but I didn't expect him to be a despicable person who only knows how to use a weak woman as a shield.

What a disappointment … "Ingenious Spell Immortal said with a sneer.

"Senior, it's a little unfair to say that.

This Fellow Lan is not a weak woman. No matter how I forced her, she refused to surrender and even sought death several times.

I had no choice but to set up a restriction.

As for using her as a shield, wasn't it forced by Senior's power? "Han Li pretended to be helpless.

When Lan Yan heard Han Li's nonsense, she also understood that he was trying to wash away the suspicion of betrayal. She could not help but feel a little guilty in her heart.

"Captured by the enemy, why not die?" Ingenious Spell Immortal sat up slightly and glanced at Lan Yan with a blank expression.

In the next moment, a layer of white frost appeared on Lan Yan's fair cheeks. Her whole body was covered by a layer of light blue ice crystals with a "ka ka" sound.

A silver light flashed on Han Li's fingertips, and a layer of silver flame surged out, resisting the frost that spread from Lan Yan's body. His figure flashed and retreated.

However, his figure had just retreated a thousand feet when he noticed that the sky above his head had darkened. The Treasure Canopy Umbrella had unknowingly flown over the sky and shrouded his head.

Han Li tapped the void with the tip of his foot, and with a "bang" sound, his figure quickly dodged.

The servant girl holding the umbrella stepped on the umbrella's surface with one foot, and her figure swayed and danced like a whirlwind.

The Treasure Canopy Umbrella constantly changed position with her footsteps, always shrouding Han Li's head.

The other servant girl holding a fan flashed to Lan Yan's side. She raised her hand and touched her body, melting the layer of ice crystals shrouding her. She was pulled up by one hand and casually thrown back to Ingenious Spell Immortal's side.

"Disciple greets Ingenious Spell Immortal." Lan Yan steadied her figure and immediately bowed.

"Where is Lan Yuanzi?

Is he dead or alive? "Ingenious Spell Immortal asked casually without looking at her.

"Big brother, he …" Lan Yan's nose became a little sour when she mentioned Lan Yuanzi.
