Chapter 610

Tens of thousands of miles south of the Floating Cloud Mountains, there was the largest and most prosperous city in the northern part of the Black Mountain Mystic Region. It was called Jukun City.

Unlike many cities in the Beihan Celestial Region, which were mostly inhabited by ordinary people, there were hundreds of Deity Clans in Jukun City. Some of them were cultivation clans, while others were branches of sects. Most of the people living in the city were cultivators.

It was unknown if it was because of that, but the Immortal Palace was extremely strict in their management of this place. The entire city was strictly divided into two parts, the inner city and the outer city. All cultivators could freely enter and leave the outer city while many restrictions were imposed on the inner city.

Any cultivator who was not a Perfected Immortal and was not a registered member of a local sect in the Black Mountain Mystic Region was not allowed to enter the inner city. Even the local cultivators were not allowed to enter.

Only those who had reached the Primordial Unity Jade Fairy level could enter the inner city without being restricted by their birthplace.

It was said that there was a supervisor from the Heavenly Court in the inner city of Jukun City. His cultivation was unfathomable, and he was the pillar of the entire Black Mountain Mystic Region.

In fact, when Han Li first arrived in the Black Mountain Mystic Region a hundred years ago, he did not stay in Wild Crane Valley. Instead, he went directly to Jukun City.

When he first entered the city, he saw an altar called the "Celestial Execution Roll" on a square inside the city gate.

There was a thousand feet long list on the altar, and there were all kinds of people drawn on it. There were humans, monsters, and many alien races. Their crimes and rewards were written on the list.

Han Li saw many familiar faces on the list, including Bai Liyan, Taoist Hu Yan, and Jiao San.

Jiao San's position was above Bai Liyan's, but his name was Gan Jiuzhen. He did not show his real face on the list, only a red mask of a strange beast.

When Han Li reached the end of the list, he saw another familiar face.

This person was none other than himself.

He was wearing a green robe in the picture, and he was holding a sword with one hand. Although there were some slight differences in his appearance, it was very lifelike.

There was a simple sentence under the picture:

Li Feiyu, who practiced a forbidden art and participated in the murder of an important immortal official in the Heavenly Court.

Regardless of life or death, the reward is five thousand Immortal Meta Stones.

He frowned, not because he was wanted, but because he was angry. His reward was only five thousand Celestial Meta Stones, but Jiao San's reward was a hundred thousand Celestial Meta Stones.

He could ignore the matter of killing Tao Yu. Logically speaking, after he killed Gong Shujiu in the Immortal Palace of Netherfrost, his bounty should not be so small. After all, he was a Primordial Immortal supervising immortal envoy.

Thinking of this, Han Li raised his head to take a look at Gan Jiuzhen's bounty order. He discovered that the crimes written below were much more varied. Among them were cultivating forbidden techniques, murdering immortal officials, colluding with Rat Immortals, and so on.

After a little thought, he understood that the Immortal Palace had most likely attributed the main cause of Gong Shujiu's death to Gan Jiuzhen and Mo Yu. With his cultivation at that time, he could at most be regarded as an accomplice.

After that, Han Li planned to leave the city immediately. However, after some observation, he discovered that there were almost as many cultivators in the city as there were hairs on a cow. Many people were busy coming and going, and not many people stopped to look at the Immortal Execution List.

After some indirect observation, he discovered that most of the people on the board, including Gan Jiuzhen, were wanted criminals of the Black Mountain Immortal Palace and even the Heavenly Court. Most of the people in Gathering Moon City were already familiar with them. If they didn't have any clues or special thoughts, they naturally wouldn't waste time looking at the Immortal Execution Roll.

The deeper reason was that most of the people on the list were not to be trifled with.

As a result, Han Li decided to hide in the city for the time being. He stayed in Mount Gathering City and searched for a method to resolve the baleful Qi in his body. However, his search was fruitless. In addition, his and Demonshine's special circumstances made it inconvenient for them to move around the city. After a freak combination of factors, they ended up meeting Duan Hezai in the more ideal Wild Crane Valley and set up a cave residence there.

Seeing Hot Flame Immortal Supremacy's figure disappear, the people who stayed in the same place all smiled.

"Fellow Duan, this matter can't be done in one go. You really don't have to be like this and spoil fellow Hot Flame's mood," Han Li said with a smile.

"It's fine. The way of playing chess is an act of cultivating one's mind. Now that I've lost my mind, I'm sure fellow Hot Flame can see that.

Besides, I've already memorized the situation of the game. I'll just play with him another day after the game resumes, "Duan Hezai said with a wave of his hand.

With that, he waved his sleeve. A black light flashed, and the entire chessboard and jar were put away.

"Hehe, fellow Li, last time you said you wanted to brew a few jars of Fire Saliva Wine, I wonder …" At this moment, Master Jing Yang came over and asked with a smile.

"The taste of the Fire Saliva Wine can't be compared to your Green Sao Wine. It's not that difficult to brew, so it's naturally good." Han Li laughed when he heard that.

"This Green Sao Wine hasn't actually been fully brewed yet. It's still a few thousand years away. If I take it out now, it'll be a waste of a heavenly gift," Master Jing Yang said with a slightly embarrassed tone.

"Haha, I know fellow Jinyang isn't such a petty person," Han Li said with a smile.

With that said, he waved his hand. With a flash of light, an earthy yellow wine jar landed at Master Jing Yang's feet.

Master Jing Yang's face lit up. He quickly picked up the wine jar, opened the clay seal, and took a light sniff.

"Good wine!"

After saying that, he showed a trace of doubt and asked, "This wine looks like it's been stored in a cellar for several hundred years. It doesn't look like it was brewed recently."

"Since I'm entertaining friends with wine, I naturally have to bring the best.

It wasn't easy for me to save up this wine. You're in luck today, "Han Li said with a smile.

Duan Yuzai and Yu Ziqi didn't like the wine, but it was rare for them to be on the same wavelength, so they drank to their heart's content.

At dusk, Han Li returned home after he was done enjoying himself. He bade farewell and returned to his cave abode.

In the depths of the bamboo forest, a cave abode had been excavated on a mountain wall. It was quite a distance away from the other cave abodes.

At that moment, the stone door of the cave abode was tightly shut. It flashed with a water-like green light. Two golden-armored guards stood on both sides of the door. They were his Dao soldiers.

At that moment, the two Dao soldiers looked very different from before. They had grown in size, and there were many strange spiral-shaped patterns on their bodies. The aura they emitted had also nearly doubled.

Not only that, but the eyes of the two Dao soldiers flashed with spiritual light. They seemed to be quite quick-witted. When they saw Han Li return, they bowed in unison.

Han Li ignored the two Dao soldiers. He opened the stone door and walked in. The stone door behind him flashed with green light and closed automatically.

The cave abode wasn't very big. There was a hall at the center with a few secret chambers on either side.

He looked toward the two closed secret chambers on the left, where Magic Light and Daoist Xie were in seclusion.

Magic Light had the Void Essence Pill to conceal his baleful aura, but he had possessed the body of a real Rat Immortal, so it couldn't be said that he was completely safe. In particular, during his time in the city, he had almost been exposed on many occasions.

As such, after coming to the Wild Crane Valley, he had stayed in the cave abode all these years and hadn't taken a single step out.

Ever since Daoist Xie came to the Black Mountain Immortal Realm, he had also gone into seclusion for some reason and rarely came out.

Han Li withdrew his gaze and made his way into the secret chamber where he usually cultivated. He sat down with his legs crossed and looked at the space before him in silence.

Ever since he parted ways with Jin Tong, he had followed the map given by the white-robed man. Although he had avoided most of the dangerous areas and traveled carefully, the vastness of the Wildlands was far beyond his imagination. There were too many variables, and he had almost died several times.

If not for his strength that was close to the Primordial realm, the protection of the Law of Time, and the help of Magic Light, a Rat Immortal who could unleash the strength of the Primordial realm for a short period of time, the outcome would have been unpredictable.

There was one time when he was chased by a group of Primordial realm Thunder Beasts for three whole years. Those Thunder Beasts were extremely fast, and they were even faster than Han Li's emerald flying carriage. Moreover, they could perform a teleportation secret technique that was similar to the Thunder Light Formation. It was unknown why they were chasing after Han Li.

Han Li tried his best but failed to shake them off. In the end, he had no choice but to go all out and fight them.

He and Magic Light joined forces and killed two of the leading Thunder Beasts. Only then did the rest of the Thunder Beasts retreat. However, his vitality was greatly damaged, and it took him a few years to recover his vitality.

There was another time when he accidentally entered a dangerous volcanic land and was trapped in a naturally formed flame secret realm. It took him more than ten years to escape by relying on the Refined Flame Bird's ability to devour all flames.

Although there were many dangers along the way, he had also gained a lot.

Not to mention the many precious materials of the Wildlands, he had also sneaked into some foreign tribes and learned many secret techniques and cultivation methods. He had gained a lot.

The Dao soldier at the door was a product that he had refined using the secret technique he learned from a foreign tribe in the Wildlands.

If it was any other day, Han Li would be overjoyed to have so many gains.

However, at this moment, he was fully focused on the Evil Decline, and did not have much time to care about other things.

He sat quietly for a moment, and suddenly his hands began to form a gesture.

"Buzz!"

Circles of bright golden light appeared in front of Han Li, and they converged in one place.

The golden light flashed, and several golden lights condensed into a golden jade bottle. It was the Purified Time Bottle.

This bottle looked much bigger than before, and it was almost solidified. Hundreds of time dao patterns were flashing on the bottle's body, and golden rainbows were revolving around the jade bottle, emitting a strong law of time.

All these years, he had combined his experience with the Truth Treasure Wheel and tried to increase the time dao pattern on the Pure Time Bottle by using the time crystal grains condensed in the Sky Bottle. As expected, it worked.

Han Li played with the Purified Time Bottle for a while, and then put it aside. His hands formed another gesture.

Sparkling and translucent golden lights emerged from his body, and shone in all directions.

He chanted an incantation, and his hands pointed in the void.

These golden lights suddenly changed, and turned into golden gravel, and floated in the surroundings. Each gravel was emitting a faint crystal light, and there were traces of time fluctuations mixed in them.

The golden gravel increased very quickly, and in just a few breaths, it had formed a golden sand field that was dozens of feet in size, and covered more than half of the secret room.
