"Forget it. With that old lunatic Shi Kongmo around, it's inevitable that you'll fail. However, the Sky Bottle is an item requested by the Paragon. Now that the Heavenly Court is preparing for the Bodhi Banquet, they won't be able to mobilize too many people.
Moreover, the Golden Origin Immortal Domain is under the jurisdiction of the Nine Yuan Temple, so it's not appropriate to send others to investigate. Hence, the Immortal Prison has to investigate the Sky Bottle. You're not allowed to fail a second time. Do you understand? "
The white figure said slowly after a moment of silence. His tone was much gentler, and the pressure in the hall gradually dissipated.
"Yes, I understand. I'll immediately send all the supervising immortal envoys to the Golden Origin Immortal Domain to investigate Han Li's situation. This time, we'll definitely retrieve the Sky Bottle."
Qi Mo Zi was overjoyed. If he continued to track down Han Li, there was still a good chance for him to snatch the Major Five Elements Fantasy Art. Hence, he agreed happily.
"There's no need to make such a big fuss. Just keep it loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
Now that you've destroyed your physical body, I'll send someone to send you a Heavenly Flame Sacred Lotus later to help you reforge a new body, "the white figure said.
"Thank you for your gift, my lord!" Qi Mo Zi was overjoyed and bowed.
"You may leave," the white figure waved his hand and said calmly.
Qi Mozi bowed once more and was about to walk out.
At this moment, a red cloud flew over from afar. Without any notice, it flew directly into the hall and turned into a red-haired woman.
The woman looked to be in her twenties. Her skin was smooth, and her features were picturesque. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she could captivate all living things. Her figure was even more charming. She wore a bright red dress that tightly wrapped around her petite body.
However, although the red-haired woman was beautiful, her expression was filled with undisguised arrogance. She was like a blooming rose that would not allow anyone to approach her.
"Eh? Isn't this Hell Overlord Qi Mozi? I heard that you suffered a crushing defeat when you went out this time, and even your daoist body was destroyed by someone. I thought that it was just groundless rumors. After all, the Hell Overlord is a prodigy of the Celestial Court. I didn't think that it was true."
The red-haired woman looked at Qi Mo Zi from head to toe and giggled. Her voice was crisp and sweet, but it was filled with mockery.
Qi Mo Zi's eyes flashed with anger, but he quickly suppressed it and did not flare up.
"Greetings, Master White Cloud."
The red-haired woman didn't say anything more. She turned around and bowed to the white figure on the high platform. Her movements were casual, without the fear and trepidation that Qi Mozi had.
"It's Crimson Dream. There's no need to be so courteous. How was your trip to the Greenforest Immortal Domain?" The white figure chuckled, and his attitude towards the red-haired woman was very gentle.
"Everything went smoothly. The matter that you instructed me to do has been completed. A total of three thousand Green Heart Immortal Fruits, six thousand Mother Earth Immortal Peaches, and ten thousand Red Spiral Jade Fruits have been sent to the Hundred Treasures Division." The red-haired lady's lips curled up slightly as she spoke.
The white figure nodded and said, "That's good. These items will be used during the Banquet of Bodhi. Nothing must go wrong."
"Don't worry, milady. I have personally inspected all of the immortal fruits. They are all high-grade," the red-haired woman said with cupped fists.
"Crimson Dream, you're meticulous in your work, so I'm naturally reassured.
The journey to the Greenforest Immortal Domain this time must have been tiring. Go and have a good rest. "The white figure nodded and said.
"It's just a trip. I don't feel very tired. Just now, I heard milady and Qi Mo Zi talking about something called the Sky Bottle. Could it be the treasure that was stolen from the Nine Yuan Temple?" The red-haired woman's eyes flickered as she asked.
Qi Mo Zi and Crimson Dream didn't have a good relationship. Originally, he was about to bid farewell and leave. When he heard this, he stopped and his expression changed slightly.
"That's right. It's that item. The sovereign strictly ordered us to find it. Are you also interested in this matter?" The white figure said.
"Of course I'm interested in the item that the sovereign pointed out. Moreover, I received a message from my grandmother on the way back. She asked me to inquire about this matter," Crimson Dream said with a light smile.
"Fellow Daoist Chi Rong?
She already came out of seclusion? "The white figure was shocked and asked.
Qi Mo Zi's body trembled as well. He seemed to be very afraid of this name.
Crimson Dream glanced at Qi Mo Zi with disdain and said to the white figure, "Grandmother just came out of seclusion a few years ago. She asked me to send her regards to Lord White Cloud."
The white figure smiled. "In these years, I've been in charge of the Heavenly Court under the sovereign's orders. Unfortunately, I'm not good at this, and there are many places that I've overlooked. It's good that fellow Daoist Chi Rong has come out of seclusion. In the future, I'll ask the sovereign to pass this authority to fellow Daoist Chi Rong. I can also relax for a period of time."
The white figure said with a smile, "Lord White Cloud must be joking. In these years that you've been in charge of the Heavenly Court, the armies of the various Immortal Domains have been greatly reduced. They've become prosperous and prosperous. If it were any other Daoist Ancestor, they wouldn't be able to do as well as you.
Grandmother once said that amongst the many Daoists of the Heavenly Court, perhaps Lord White Cloud's magic power isn't the best, but in terms of governance, he's the best amongst them, "Crimson Dream said with a sweet smile.
"Haha, fellow Daoist Chi Rong is praising me." Dao Ancestor White Cloud laughed loudly.
Dao Ancestor White Cloud said to Chi Rong, "Since fellow Daoist Chi Rong is interested in the Sky Bottle, Qi Mo Zi," Dao Ancestor White Cloud said.
"Yes."
Qi Mo Zi hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he agreed and began to carefully explain the information he had regarding Han Li.
"So that's how it is. This Han Li really is an interesting person. It's only been twenty or thirty thousand years since he ascended from the Lower Realms, but he's already reached his current level of cultivation. I've never seen such a rapid rate of cultivation before." Chi Rong's lips quirked up slightly, and a look of interest appeared on her face.
"Crimson Dream, there's something you don't know, but the Sky Bottle is a supreme treasure of the heavens and the earth. With this treasure, one can seize the fortune of the heavens and the earth. There's no need to be surprised about this," Dao Ancestor White Cloud said slowly.
"So that's how it is, Lord White Cloud. Qi Mo Zi's Dao-body has been destroyed, and he won't be able to recover in a short period of time. In addition, he personally tried to deal with Han Li, but he still failed. If anyone else from the Immortal Purgatory were to act, the result would most likely be the same. Why don't you leave the matter of capturing Han Li to me? I'll definitely bring both Han Li and the Sky Bottle back for you to deal with."
Chi Rong nodded in understanding, then said, "Fellow Daoist Crimson Dream, my lord has already instructed me to retrieve the Sky Bottle. Last time, I was careless. This time, I'll bring the Golden Wheel of Time with me as well. I'll definitely complete the mission without a hitch."
"Qi Mo Zi, you don't even have a Dao-body right now. How are you going to complete the mission?
You'll need a lot of time to reconstruct your Dao-body and consolidate your cultivation. Are you going to wait until you've made all the necessary preparations before going after Han Li? Given how alert he is, who knows where he'll run off to? "Chi Rong snickered.
Qi Mo Zi raised an eyebrow. He was just about to open his mouth to say something.
"Qi Mo Zi, Chi Rong's words make sense. Your Dao-body isn't complete yet, so you should stay in the Heavenly Court and rest." Dao Ancestor White Cloud suddenly raised his hand, stopping Qi Mo Zi from continuing.
"Yes." Qi Mo Zi was stunned. Under Dao Ancestor White Cloud's gaze, he spoke rather unwillingly.
"Chi Rong, since you've volunteered, then I'll leave the matter of capturing Han Li to you. However, Qi Mo Zi has already failed once. You definitely can't fail again." Dao Ancestor White Cloud looked at Chi Rong, then said solemnly.
"Don't worry, Lord White Cloud. I'm not like a certain person. Just wait for my good news."
Chi Rong chuckled, then transformed into a red cloud and flew outside, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Qi Mo Zi didn't stay for long either. He quickly bid farewell and left, leaving behind only Dao Ancestor White Cloud.
"Fellow Daoist Crimson Rong, your hands are getting bigger and bigger. Heh heh …" Dao Ancestor White Cloud rose to his feet and let out a cold laugh, then turned and walked towards the back of the palace.
… …
At this moment, elsewhere in the Heavenly Court, within a palace that was completely constructed from translucent pink gemstones.
A green-robed woman was seated cross-legged here. It was Archmage Immortal Paragon.
Her face was rather gloomy as she stared at a dark-red jade medallion in front of her. The image of an earthen yellow toad could be vaguely seen on it.
However, the jade medallion had already cracked and shattered into several pieces.
Two green-robed maids stood to the side, their faces filled with terror.
"What's the situation with Lan Yuanzi and Lan Yan's medallions?" Archmage Immortal Paragon asked slowly.
"Lan Yuanzi's medallion has cracked as well, but it hasn't completely shattered. As for Lan Yan's medallion, there's nothing wrong with it, but we've been unable to contact her. She's most likely been captured," one of the green-robed maids hurriedly replied.
Archmage Immortal Paragon's eyes narrowed when she heard this, but she didn't say anything.
The green-robed maid hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Esteemed Sacred Emissary, the abbess has already heard of this matter. She just sent word that she's extremely furious that we weren't able to retake the Sky Bottle."
Archmage Immortal Paragon frowned and waved her hand. "I understand. You may leave."
When the two maids in green skirts saw this, they bowed and quickly retreated.
"Han Li … It seems that I've really underestimated you. In that case, I'll personally take action and see how capable you are." Archmage Immortal Paragon stood up and said slowly.
Before she finished speaking, her figure flickered and disappeared without a trace.
… …
The northwestern border of the Mini Gold Origin Immortal Domain was flat and fertile. The population density was much higher than the Gold Source Mountain Range, and there were also many sects. The number one sect in the Mini Gold Origin Immortal Domain, the Heavenly Sword Sect, was located here.
Further out from the northwestern border was a boundless sea. The sea was rich in Yuan Qi, but it was unusually violent, causing huge storms to blow here frequently. Therefore, this sea was called the Sea of Storms.
The Sea of Storms was rich in all kinds of resources, attracting countless people to search for treasures. Its popularity was no less than that of the Gold Source Mountain Range.
And on the land near the sea, there was a huge city called Golden Abyss City.
Golden Abyss City covered an extremely vast area, and the city was incomparably prosperous. It was second to none in the Mini Gold Origin Immortal Domain.
The reason why this city was so prosperous was that the Sea of Storms attracted countless treasure hunters, but the most important reason was that there was an inter-domain teleportation formation in Golden Abyss City that connected to the Greater Gold Origin Immortal Domain. There were countless people coming and going from the two places, resulting in the prosperity of this city.
There was a huge square outside Golden Abyss City that was dozens of miles in size. It was bustling with activity and was incomparably lively.
At every moment, there would be streaks of light flying over from the distance, landing here, or some people would soar into the sky, flying into the distance.
A streak of dark green light flew over from afar before stopping on the plaza outside the city, revealing a dark green flying ark. There were two humanoid figures standing on the ark, and they were none other than Han Li and Lan Yan, who had finally arrived here after over 10 years of travel.
"No wonder it is the number one city in the Mini Gold Origin Immortal Domain. It is indeed spectacular." Han Li nodded and praised as he looked at the almost boundless Golden Abyss City in front of him.
"This Golden Abyss City… is not bad. When Friend Han arrives at the Greater Gold Origin Immortal Domain and goes to Nine Yuan City, you will know what a real big city is," Lan Yan said with a light smile.
"Oh, is that so?
Then I am looking forward to it more and more, "Han Li said lightly. He flipped his hand and kept the Ink Dragon Flying Boat, flying towards the Golden Abyss City.
