Chapter 156 Han Li Gives Up the Pillar
Chapter 156 Han Li Gives Up the Pillar
The Chaotic Star Sea, a vast expanse of sky above the sea.
A magnificent and enormous palace suddenly appeared in the air.
The palace was about a hundred feet high, and it was extremely magnificent and resplendent in gold.
The palace was surrounded by a golden light shield.
Upon seeing this extraordinary sight, the cultivators in the surrounding seas immediately thought of the Void Heaven Palace.
Meanwhile, cultivators hundreds or thousands of miles away also sensed the location of the Void Heaven Palace through the fragmented map of the Void Heaven.
A few days later, the empty sea area became lively.
Every now and then, cultivators would fly here and then fly towards the Void Heaven Palace in mid-air with great joy.
On this day, a green boat sped by.
After the light from the azure boat faded, an ordinary-looking cultivator brought the flying boat to a stop below the Void Heaven Palace.
"This Void Heaven Palace is known as the number one secret realm in the Chaotic Star Sea. There are countless opportunities within it. It would be great if we could obtain some pills and spiritual fruits to increase our cultivation."
However, there are far too many cultivators entering the hall. And even the weakest among them is at the Pseudo-Core Formation stage. Sigh, I wonder if Jin Qing and Old Hu have arrived yet?
The cultivator on the flying boat was none other than Han Li, who had survived the tribulations of the mortal world and forged seventy-two Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords.
He was in seclusion a while ago when Jin Qing sent a message that the Void Heaven Palace had opened and invited him to enter the palace together.
Since Han Li had the incomplete Void Heaven Map, he let Jin Qing and the others go ahead.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Han Li pondered for a moment, then put away his flying boat and flew towards the Void Heaven Palace in the sky.
A moment later, a fiery red cloud stopped where Han Li had disappeared.
As the red clouds dispersed, it was revealed that the Crimson Flame Old Monster had lost both his master and junior brother.
Since his master, Master Yan, went missing and his junior brother died, their Yuan Gui Island has fallen from a large force to a medium-sized force.
The cultivation resources they previously possessed have all been divided up by other sects that have Nascent Soul cultivators.
Now, he can only try his luck at the Void Heaven Palace to see if he can find an opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
After the Crimson Flame Old Monster flew into the Void Heaven Palace, some figures watching from a distance followed suit.
Han Li, who had flown up first, had already passed through the golden light barrier and entered.
Above the tall palace gate hangs a huge plaque with three silver ancient characters that read "Xutian Palace".
"This is the Void Heaven Palace, how magnificent!"
Han Li paused and watched for a moment, then, sensing someone behind him, he quickly walked into the entrance passage.
The passage was long and narrow, and it was made of crystal-clear white jade, which looked like a very good material for refining weapons.
Han Li glanced at it, then shook his head.
It's too hard to dig. By the time he manages to pry out a single brick, there will probably be a bunch of people blocking his way.
It's no wonder Han Li wanted everything; he was a rogue cultivator and was terrified of poverty.
After walking through the narrow passage, a vast and spacious hall appeared before him.
This hall is about three or four hundred feet wide, extremely grand.
Dozens of thick stone pillars stand in the hall.
At the top of a small section of the pillars, dozens of monks dressed in various styles stood or sat.
Most of these cultivators were at the Core Formation stage.
Except for a few people who seemed to be gathered together, the rest of them each occupied a pillar by themselves.
Seeing this, Han Li looked around and chose a relatively low stone pillar to fly up to.
He kept a low profile, but still attracted the attention of a small number of monks.
However, Han Li's cultivation level was only at the early stage of Core Formation, and his appearance was plain, making him look like an ordinary rogue cultivator.
Those who were following him watched for a while, then went about their own business.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him anymore, Han Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Didn't Jin Qing and the others leave first? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
Han Li frowned as he looked at the entrance passage.
During this period, many more cultivators entered, including the Crimson Fire Old Monster.
But Jin Qing, Lao Hu, and even Qing Feng were nowhere to be seen.
Just as Han Li was waiting, three figures walked out of the passage.
The moment these three appeared, the expressions of the many cultivators in the hall changed drastically, as if they had seen some terrifying ghosts or demons.
"It's the Yin Ancestor of Yin Island, and... and the Lan Clan's Twin Demons!"
An elderly man dressed in brown clothes with gray hair exclaimed in surprise.
"The Lan Clan's Twin Demons! Weren't they annihilated by the Twin Saints?! Then what's here—a human, a ghost, or a corpse puppet?"
"Shh! Are you tired of living? Let's stop communicating telepathically. Nascent Soul stage monsters have powerful spiritual senses; don't let them hear us. Get away from them quickly."
Several Core Formation cultivators who were near the entrance of the passage quickly left the stone pillars where they were.
Han Li's expression changed drastically when he saw Ji Yin.
"Brother Qing, when will you arrive?"
He harbored deep resentment towards the Island of Extreme Yin, and now that Extreme Yin had arrived, he could only lower his head and hope that Extreme Yin would not see him.
"Hehehe! Brother, there are so many young and handsome men here~"
The female demon Lan Lian'er, dressed in a pink silk dress with a silver whip tied around her waist, smiled as she looked at everyone in the hall.
Her gaze lingered on the young and handsome male cultivators, and a smile played on her lips.
Upon hearing the female demon's words, the young male cultivator in the palace was not flattered at all; instead, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and the hair on his body stood on end.
He quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet her gaze, for fear that she would take a liking to him.
Seeing the fear on the faces of the surrounding cultivators, Han Li glanced at them curiously.
He's of average appearance; he probably wouldn't be chosen.
"Brother Han, don't look."
At that moment, a voice transmission entered Han Li's ears.
In one corner of the hall, two masked monks were bowing their heads.
"Jin Qing, Lao Hu, when did you get here?!"
Han Li was delighted; the arrival of familiar faces made him feel much more at ease.
"Just now, Lao Hu and I, carrying the fragments of the Void Heaven Map, squeezed our way in after a long time."
By the way, whatever you do, don't look at that female demon. The "Yin Nu Sha Yang Jue" she cultivates is an extremely vicious demonic art.
She was born with a beautiful face and was most skilled at using her beauty to lure young male cultivators who lacked willpower, drain their vital essence, and then torture and kill them.
Countless male cultivators have died at her hands!
Jin Qing solemnly reminded him.
Upon hearing Jin Qing's warning, Han Li quickly calmed himself down and turned his head away.
I have an average appearance, so I shouldn't be targeted.
Han Li comforted himself in his heart.
At this moment, the male demon Lan Yujing surveyed the hall.
"Hmph! A bunch of ants!"
His rough voice echoed in the hall, his face full of disdain.
The Core Formation cultivators who were insulted by him dared not refute him like dogs.
What a joke! This male demon is at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and he is extremely burly, standing two heads taller than an average person.
Two large islands were completely wiped out overnight, killing nearly a thousand cultivators and more than 100,000 mortals!
Which Core Formation cultivator is tired of living and dares to provoke him?
"Brother Lan, please don't be angry. They are just juniors."
Ji Yin then offered words of comfort with a smile.
"snort."
Lan Yujing snorted coldly, which was considered giving Ji Yin some face.
He glanced at the stone pillars in the palace, then transformed into a beam of light and flew directly behind Han Li.
"I want this stone pillar. Get out of here!"
