Chapter 1177

After Li Qima left, Han Li released his Divine Sense to check every corner of the courtyard, but he didn't find anything unusual. He waved his hand to set up layers of restrictions everywhere, then he turned around and went to the room in the depths of the courtyard.

After setting up several layers of restrictions here, he entered the Flower Branch Space.

Xiao Bai was walking back and forth in the empty space in front of the bamboo house. When she saw Han Li appear, she hurriedly greeted him.

"Alright, there are no outsiders here now. Tell me about Jin Tong. How did you meet the people from the Nine Yuan Temple, and who captured her?" Han Li asked in a deep voice.

"After Big Brother and I left Master that day, we came to the Gold Origin Celestial Realm and found a way to find that Golden Devourer Celestial that you met before. After Big Brother spent a great deal of effort to devour it, his cultivation base successfully broke through to the Golden Immortal Realm," said Snowy swiftly.

Han Li was delighted when he heard that. Jin Tong had already reached the Zenith Heaven Realm, but his joy soon sank.

Jin Tong's strength had reached the Zenith Heaven Realm, but she was still captured. The person who did it must be extremely powerful, and it would probably be difficult to rescue her.

As expected, Xiao Bai's next words confirmed his guess.

"But who would have thought that the Golden Devourer actually had an owner, and that person was a powerful figure in the Nine Yuan Temple. He personally chased after me and Big Brother. We tried our best to escape for many years, but we were still caught in the end.

That person was extremely powerful, and after a battle, Big Brother was captured. But at the last moment, she cast a technique to break open the void and sent me out. She asked me to look for you to rescue her. I didn't expect to see you so soon. "

Xiao Bai was eloquent, and she quickly explained the cause and effect of the matter.

"Do you know the name of the person who captured you and his identity in the Nine Yuan Temple?" Han Li was silent for a moment when he heard that, and then he asked.

"That person is called Gui Lingzi, and he seems to be one of the Four Great Holy Envoys of the Nine Yuan Temple." Xiao Bai's body trembled, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

"Gui Lingzi …" Han Li's eyes narrowed.

He had inquired a lot of information about the Nine Origin Temple from Lan Yan. Among them was information about this Gui Lingzi. It was said that this person's strength was even above Wondrous Spell Immortal Venerable and was faintly the leader of the four sacred envoys.

Han Li frowned slightly. Ingenious Spell Immortal Venerable was already very powerful, let alone this even stronger Gui Lingzi.

"Master, don't be anxious. That person didn't capture Boss to harm him. It seems like he wants to use Boss as a gift to someone at some Bodhi Banquet. There shouldn't be any danger for now," Xiao Bai said hurriedly when he saw Han Li's expression.

"Bodhi Banquet?" Han Li's expression changed. He had never heard of this name. It sounded like some kind of grand event.

He pondered for a moment and took out the mask of the Samsara Temple, offering a high reward for information about the Bodhi Banquet. Seeing this, Little White obediently waited at the side.

To his surprise, someone responded very quickly.

It was said that the Bodhi Banquet was a grand event held by the Heavenly Court every five million years.

The reason for the Bodhi Banquet was a Bodhi Dao Tree in the Heavenly Court. This tree was said to be an Immortal Grade Spiritual Root that existed a long time ago, before the Chaos of Heaven and Earth was formed. The Bodhi Dao Fruit that it bore had extraordinary effects. Eating one fruit could increase one's cultivation by millions of years.

Moreover, after eating the Bodhi Dao Fruit, there was a certain chance that the physical body would become the Bodhi Dao Body. This Dao Body was extremely beneficial to the cultivation of all laws and was extremely precious.

The Bodhi Dao Fruit originally needed hundreds of millions of years to bloom and bear fruit once. However, the Time Dao Ancestor of the Heavenly Court used a peerless magic to make the tree bear fruit every five million years. Moreover, every time the Bodhi Dao Fruit ripened, the Time Dao Ancestor did not keep it for himself. Instead, he invited the powerful forces of the Major Immortal Realms to gather together and hold a banquet to distribute the Bodhi Dao Fruit. Hence, the Bodhi Banquet that was held every five million years.

A long time ago, the Bodhi Banquet was a banquet to discuss the distribution of the Bodhi Dao Fruit. However, as the reputation of the Bodhi Dao Fruit spread, more and more forces requested to participate in the banquet, and the scale of the Bodhi Dao Fruit grew larger and larger. The supply of the Bodhi Dao Fruit could not meet the demand, so the major forces began to offer gifts to the Time Dao Ancestor in exchange for a Bodhi Dao Fruit.

As more and more forces participated in the Bodhi Banquet, it was no longer just an event to distribute the Dao Fruit. The major forces would bond, discuss important matters, and establish alliances at the banquet.

Today, the Bodhi Banquet had become the biggest event in the Heavenly Court and even the entire True Immortal Realm.

The next Bodhi Banquet was less than three thousand years away.

Han Li could not help but frown when he saw the situation.

According to Little White, Gui Lingzi probably wanted to offer Jin Tong to the Heavenly Court or even to the Time Dao Ancestor.

According to the information provided by the Samsara Palace, the Time Dao Ancestor was very fond of all kinds of strange things, be it Natural Treasures or rare beasts. Gui Lingzi probably thought that the Golden Immortal Devouring was rare, so he wanted to offer it to the Time Dao Ancestor.

If Jin Tong was in the hands of Gui Lingzi, he might be able to save him. Once Jin Tong was with the Time Dao Ancestor, Han Li would not be able to take it back.

Although Jiao San said that there would be a mission related to the Nine Yuan Temple that could help him save Jin Tong, it was uncertain how much help the Samsara Palace could give him. He could only rely on himself.

However, a mere three thousand years was a little tight.

If he wanted to improve his cultivation, he needed to find two matching objects of the Law of Time and improve the Time Crystal Threads on the Dongyi Divine Wood and the Illusory Hourglass.

However, matching objects of the Law of Time were hard to come by.

He was lucky to obtain a Time Divination Crystal, but how could such a good thing happen again?

"I will find a way to save Jin Tong. Xiao Bai, you have just woken up. Take these things and eat them. Recover well."

Han Li thought. He waved his hand and took out a large pile of immortal weapons and materials, giving them to Xiao Bai.

Seeing the pile of immortal weapons, Xiao Bai's eyes lit up and he hurriedly thanked him.

"By the way, Master, when Big Brother and I were capturing the Golden Immortal Devouring, we sneaked into the Nine Yuan Temple. I found this inside, but I can't digest it. It should be useful to you, right?" Xiao Bai was about to swallow a few immortal weapons when he suddenly remembered something.

Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a yellow alms bowl, which landed in front of Han Li.

The alms bowl looked a little broken. It seemed to be an antique from a long time ago, and there were golden lines engraved on it.

"This is …" Han Li's eyes lit up and he stared at the alms bowl. He was stunned.

The alms bowl emitted a strong fluctuation of the Law of Time, which was very similar to the Law of Time on the Illusion Hourglass.

Moreover, the power of the Law of Time emitted from this alms bowl was unusually strong, even stronger than the Time Divination Crystal he had obtained not long ago.

"Xiao Bai, well done. This is exactly what I need!" He hugged Xiao Bai, rubbed its head and said excitedly.

"Could it be that my luck has changed recently? I have obtained objects of the Law of Time one after another!" Han Li couldn't help but think.

"It's good that this thing is useful to you, Master. I will go and cultivate first." Xiao Bai grinned and flew to the side with the immortal weapons and materials that Han Li had given him.

Han Li took the alms bowl and looked at it from top to bottom. He became more and more excited.

Then, he took a light breath and calmed his excited mood. He sat cross-legged and started the "Major Five Elements Fantasy World Art". Five rays of golden light flew out and condensed into a golden ring, which wrapped the alms bowl.

"Kacha!"

The alms bowl shattered, and countless golden light spots in the shape of gravel flew out and merged into the golden ring.

Then, the ring flashed with golden light, and golden crystal threads condensed one after another. There were a total of 63 threads, and all of them flew out and wrapped around the Illusion Hourglass.

The power of the Law of Time in Han Li's body skyrocketed again, and it circulated more smoothly. He couldn't help but feel happy again.

Now, only the Dongyi Divine Wood was left. As long as he found an object of the Law of Time that matched it, he would be able to break through to the Zenith Heaven Realm again.

Han Li's eyes flashed. He turned his hand and took out the mask of the Samsara Temple again, raising the price of the item of the Law of Time by 50%.

The most important thing for him now was time. It was less than a thousand years before the Bodhi Banquet. This period of time was not long, especially for someone of his cultivation. It was just the time of a session of closed-door cultivation, and it would pass in the blink of an eye.

Han Li had to advance to the Zenith Heaven Realm before the Bodhi Banquet in order to sneak into the Jiuyuan Temple and rescue Jin Tong.

As for the expenditure of Immortal Meta Stones, it was not a big deal. He had 70 million Immortal Meta Stones in his hands, so he was quite rich.

Han Li took off the mask of the Samsara Temple. After pondering for a while, he left the branch space and went outside the courtyard. He asked the servant outside to inform Liqima that he planned to stay in the Eight Desolation Mountain.

He then returned to the inner chamber and entered the branch space again. He raised his hand and waved.

A silver light flew out from Han Li's sleeve. It was the Child of Essence Flame.

"I have a very important thing to do in the next few hundred years, and I may need your power.

From today onwards, you will cultivate in seclusion here and refine the white fire bead. As for the vitality you have lost, I will find a way to help you recover, "he said to the Child of Essence Flame.

The Child of Essence Flame tilted its head and looked at Han Li. Then, it nodded and flew to a corner of the branch space.

The silver flame on its body flashed and turned into a silver fireball of about ten feet in size. It surged and rolled. Within the silver flame, the white fire bead spun and emitted a powerful fluctuation of the Law of Fire.

Han Li showed a hint of joy when he saw this. He then turned to look at the pavilion in the distance.

There were faint ghostly howls coming from the pavilion. The Weeping Soul was still in seclusion, and it was unknown when it would wake up.

He quickly withdrew his gaze and did not continue cultivating. Instead, he flipped his hand and took out a palm-sized jade tablet. There was a complicated formation pattern inscribed on it. It was the formation pattern of the Heavenly Jade Light Formation.

After returning from the Truth Gate, Han Li was afraid that he would forget it after a long time, so he carved the formation pattern on this jade tablet.

He still had many things to do right now, such as comprehending the Heavenly Sword Formation, cultivating the True Wheel Reversal, Dharma World, and other Temporal Divine Arts. It wasn't just about advancing to the Grand Immortal Realm, he didn't have enough time. If he could set up a Temporal Space like the Gate of Truth, then all his problems would be easily solved.

Although there was still an important problem to solve in building the Time Difference Space, he decided to start setting it up first.
