Chapter 1233

After a while, Han Li's group arrived in front of a huge palace that was located halfway up the mountain. The signboard of the palace had the words "Jiu Yuan Pavilion" written on it.

"Dao friends, please." The guide invited the Xian Shan Sect group into the palace.

Jiu Yuan Pavilion didn't look big from the outside, but it was very spacious inside. It was thousands of meters wide. Clearly, it was built with some kind of spatial law material and method.

At this moment, a few sects had already arrived. Seeing the Xian Shan Sect group come in, some familiar people came over to greet them.

Due to the spectacular display of power he had displayed during the previous battles, there were also some people who took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Han Li. Thankfully, Han Li was already aware of the identities of these people, as well as their relationships with him, so he was able to deal with them with ease.

An hour later, the 12 sects that stood out had all arrived, but the other sects didn't appear.

After a while, the sound of a bell resounded in the hall.

Everyone in the palace immediately stood up. Feng Tian immortal envoy, Chun Jun Spiritual Master, Lu Chuanfeng, Huo Yuan, Tian Xing Venerable and the others walked out from the back of the palace.

Behind Chun Jun Spiritual Master were a few elders of Jiu Yuan Temple, but Chi Meng didn't come. This made Han Li heave a sigh of relief.

"Greetings to immortal envoy Feng Tian!

Chun Jun Temple Master! "Everyone in the palace bowed.

"No need to be so polite.

Let's not talk too much. Today, I called everyone here to award the Bodhi Token. Those who won the previous battles, come forward. "Chun Jun Spiritual Master smiled.

Han Li and the other 12 people walked out from the crowd and stood in a row in front of Chun Jun Spiritual Master and immortal envoy Feng Tian.

Chun Jun Spiritual Master retreated to the side. Feng Tian immortal envoy stepped forward and cupped his fists towards the void, shouting: "Greetings to the Bodhi Token!"

Just as he finished speaking, a dazzling golden light appeared in the void, and a square golden treasure box appeared.

Feng Tian immortal envoy bowed towards the treasure box and pointed with a hand seal. The treasure box opened automatically. Inside were 12 golden simple tokens that gave off a special aura as if they contained some special energy.

When everyone in the hall saw the twelve tokens, their faces were filled with excitement.

Han Li merely glanced at the 12 badges, and even though a hint of excitement appeared on his face, he wasn't too concerned about these badges that were coveted by all of the high-grade cultivators in the Golden Essence Immortal Domain.

His main purpose for coming here was to find Jin Tong. Now he was only one step away from completing the task assigned by the Samsara Temple. When this was over and he had obtained clues about Jin Tong, he would have to start thinking about how to carry out the rescue operation.

With his current cultivation and strength, the Nine Yuan Temple was no different from a dragon's pool and tiger's den. It was impossible to barge in by force. The most ideal situation was to take advantage of the Samsara Hall's operation to fish in troubled waters.

Up until now, he had not figured out the purpose of the Samsara Temple's operation, nor did he know if there was a good opportunity for him to take advantage of.

However, since he was already here, he would naturally take it one step at a time.

While Han Li was lost in thought, Feng Tian made a hand seal, and twelve badges flew out of the treasure box and landed in the hands of Han Li and the others.

Han Li took the badges with one hand, and his heart skipped a beat.

The badges were extremely heavy, and he did not know what kind of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures it was made of. Moreover, it was cold to the touch, and he could feel a strange energy contained in it.

"The Bodhi Badge is personally refined by the Supreme Master. With this badge, you can participate in the Bodhi Banquet. Please take good care of it," Feng Tian said slowly.

Han Li was about to check the condition of the badge, but he immediately stopped when he heard that it was personally refined by the Time Dao Ancestor. He even had the urge to throw it away.

"The Bodhi Banquet will be held in the Jade Lake. With this badge, you can bring three people with you.

As for what you can gain from the Bodhi Banquet, it depends on your luck, "Feng Tian continued, and then she floated to the side.

"Roar …"

At this moment, a sudden beast roar came from a place far away.

The expressions of the elders in the Nine Elements Pavilion changed instantly, while Chun Jun Zhenren just frowned slightly and cast an inquiring look at a short and fat elder with a long beard beside him.

He then closed his eyes and pointed at the center of his brows with two fingers as he chanted.

Han Li saw circles of golden light rippling out from his glabella, and a strong wave of divine soul came out from it. It seemed to be a special method of divine soul communication.

After a while, he suddenly retracted his fingers, opened his eyes, and said:

"I don't know what went wrong at the beast pen of the Spirit Beast Mountain. The ancestral beast guarding the mountain, the Blue-eyed Qilin, was startled and went crazy. It directly destroyed the beast pen and went berserk all over the mountain."

"The Blue-eyed Qilin is a Grand Heavenly level spirit beast guarding the mountain. It has always been tamed and gentle. Why did it suddenly go berserk?

Where's Elder Shan Yang?

Isn't this beast specially cared for by him? "Chun Jun Zhenren asked indifferently.

Judging from his expression, it seemed that he did not think it was a big deal. He was just asking without any intention of blaming.

"Reporting to the Temple Lord, a fierce beast comparable to the Early-stage of Primordial Unity appeared in the Lower Realm Mountain Origin World.

No one in the Mountain Origin World could tame it, so Elder Shan Yang went to the Lower Realm to subdue it. He has not returned yet, "the short and fat elder answered respectfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, the noise outside became even louder. The roars of various spirit beasts and strange birds rose and fell one after another. Although it was very far away from here, it still lingered in the ears.

After the short and fat elder closed his eyes to check, his face became more nervous.

"Temple Lord, many of the beast pens on the Spirit Beast Mountain have been destroyed by the Blue-eyed Qilin. There are more than 70 spirit beasts that have gone berserk. Many of them have rushed out of the Spirit Beast Mountain with their innate abilities. Two of them rushed to the Harvest Garden. Fortunately, Elder Murong stopped them. Otherwise, the immortal plants and spirit herbs would have been greatly damaged."

"Today, the temple is entertaining a distinguished guest. Don't be disrespectful to the guest. Send a message to Senior Brother Lei Jun to handle it personally," Chun Jun Zhenren thought for a moment and ordered.

"Yes," the short and fat elder responded and then closed his eyes to send a message.

"Something happened in the sect. Please excuse us." Chun Jun Zhenren turned to look at Feng Tian and the others and smiled.

"It's fine. It's just a spirit beast that has escaped. Just catch it and bring it back." Feng Tian said casually.

"It's fine …" Tian Xing Venerable and the others also said with a smile.

As for the people from the 12 sects who came to receive the Bodhi Token, they naturally did not dare to say anything. They could only smile at the bottom.

Just when everyone thought that the ceremony was over and they could leave immediately, there was another explosion outside the Jiuyuan Pavilion. The entire hall shook violently.

Then, there was a series of explosions.

The sound seemed to come from far away, but it was not soft. It did not sound like it was caused by a spirit beast.

"What's going on?" Chun Jun Zhenren's expression finally changed.

After the short and fat elder used the secret technique to check again, he did not speak directly. Instead, he transmitted a message to Chun Jun Zhenren.

Chun Jun Zhenren's expression became serious and a trace of anger finally appeared between his brows.

"Immortal Envoy Feng Tian, Fellow Daoist Huo, Palace Master Lu, Fellow Daoist Tian Xing, there are some matters in the temple that I need to deal with personally. Please wait here for a moment." Chun Jun Spiritual Master stood up and bowed to them.

"Since there are matters in the temple, Fellow Chun Jun, please go ahead. We will stay here and drink a few cups of tea." Huo Yuan stood up and said.

"Fellow Chun Jun, please go ahead. It's fine." The others also stood up and said.

Chun Jun Zhenren stood up, turned his wrist and took out a silver-threaded horsetail whisk. With a wave of his hand, there were layers of silver ripples in front of him. In the void, there was a collapsing void door.

When Han Li saw this, his heart stirred. Daoist Master Chun Jun didn't cultivate the laws of space, but the fact that he was able to open that silver spatial gate showed that the horsetail whisk in his hand was a rare spatial immortal tool.

"Elder Yu, stay here and entertain the guests. I will be back soon." Chun Jun Zhenren instructed the short and fat elder.

Then, he stepped back and disappeared into the silver ripples.

Feng Tian Immortal and the others returned to their seats and drank slowly. Occasionally, they would exchange a few words. Zhou Xianyang and the others from the twelve sects looked at each other and felt uneasy.

"Fellow Daoists, there is no need to worry. The Temple Master will be back soon. Just wait here." The short and fat elder comforted them.

The people from the twelve sects did not dare to object. They sat down and waited for the dust to settle.

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Chun Jun Zhenren did not return.

"Is there movement outside? Is there movement from the other side?"

Han Li approached Zhou Xianyang and transmitted his voice to him.

"Our mission is to get the Token of Bodhi. We don't know anything else." Zhou Xianyang replied.

When Han Li heard this, he knew he could not get anything out of him, so he did not say anything else.

But right at this moment, rumbling sounds resounded out, and it broke the silence within the Nine Yuan Pavilion.

The entire hall shook violently with this roar, and the furnishings in the room fell to the ground in all directions.

Many people were affected by the force of the vibration and could not stand steadily.

"What's going on …" Fairy Zi Luo from the Heavenly Remote Lake asked with a slight change in expression.

The expressions of the others changed slightly as well. Almost all of them sensed how powerful the bang was. What made them feel even more fearful was that the bang did not come from far away, but from the vicinity of the Nine Yuan Pavilion.

Han Li cast his gaze around to discover that there was a layer of golden light shimmering over the ground, walls, and even the ceiling. Within the layer of golden light were extremely complex runes, and it was quite clear that this was an extremely high-grade restriction formation.

"Don't worry, everyone. The Nine Yuan Pavilion is an important place of our sect. It is protected by an independent Restriction Formation. Even a Golden Heaven Intermediate Stage cultivator would not be able to break it, let alone be injured by the spirit beast that escaped," said Elder Yu hurriedly.

Rumble!

As soon as he finished speaking, an even more violent bang resounded, and the entire Nine Yuan Pavilion shook violently once more.

The golden Talisman Formation Diagrams that enveloped the hall shook violently as well. Their surfaces instantly glowed brightly, and they stabilized the hall that was on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, everyone realized that the situation was slightly off, and some even revealed a slightly panicked expression.

Only Feng Tian and the others were as steady as a mountain, and they did not seem to care much about the situation before them. They continued chatting casually as if everything that happened outside had nothing to do with them.
