A hint of understanding flashed through Han Li's eyes when he saw this.
It turned out that Lan Yuanzi had used some kind of secret technique to burn the power of laws within his body. No wonder he could suddenly erupt with such great power.
As he thought of this, his hands didn't hesitate in the slightest. His two hands immediately formed a seal and waved.
As the golden radiance flickered, the Wheel of Truth appeared behind him, and it started to spin rapidly.
Countless golden ripples surged out from the Wheel of Truth, instantly enveloping an area of thousands of feet.
The surrounding blue ball of light immediately came to a standstill. Lan Yuanzi was just about to break free from the spiritual sense chain and escape, but the golden ripples were too fast. Before he could break free, he was also enveloped by the golden ripples, unable to move.
The blue light surging out of the nearby void immediately stopped, and the surroundings quickly returned to normal.
Han Li's figure moved, easily flying out of the blue ball of light and appearing in front of Lan Yuanzi in a flash. His five fingers pressed against Lan Yuanzi's head, but he stopped just as he was about to crush it.
He raised his eyes to look in the direction that Lan Yan had escaped in, then looked at Lan Yuanzi in his hand. The figure of his little sister appeared in his mind, and he sighed faintly. He raised his hand and slapped it against Lan Yuanzi's lower abdomen.
Immediately, five bursts of the power of laws of time surged out from his palm, spinning in a circle before condensing into a five-elemental seal that disappeared into Lan Yuanzi's body.
The sealing secret technique of the [Major Five Elemental Fantasy Technique] could also be used to seal others.
Han Li immediately took Lan Yuanzi's storage ring and used his spiritual sense to inspect his entire body. After making sure that he wasn't hiding anything, he made a hand seal and put away the Wheel of Truth. The golden ripples around him disappeared.
The blue light and the power of laws on Lan Yuanzi's body also quickly dissipated like snow under the scorching sun. There was no trace of Immortal Spiritual Qi left on his body, and he fell to the ground.
Han Li reached out to grab Lan Yuanzi and landed on the ground.
At this moment, Lan Yan had already escaped from the range of his spiritual sense and disappeared without a trace. Although there was still some residual aura, there was little hope of catching up.
Although this place didn't seem to be dangerous, Han Li felt a faint sense of trepidation in his heart. He didn't continue to chase recklessly.
Lan Yuanzi looked around and chuckled, "What a powerful sealing technique! It's no wonder that you were able to escape from the Golden Essence Immortal Palace on several occasions. I admit defeat."
Han Li looked at Lan Yuanzi and said slowly, "You're really brave to be able to laugh in such a situation."
"My life and death are now in your hands, Fellow Daoist. Regardless of whether I laugh or cry, I believe it will not affect your judgment.
Since that's the case, I'd rather find some joy in my misery, "Lan Yuanzi said in a carefree manner.
"Since you know your limits, I have a few questions for you. If you don't want me to search your soul, then answer honestly."
Han Li had a good impression of Lan Yuanzi, but he did not show it on his face and continued to speak in a cold tone.
"Go ahead, Friend Han." Lan Yuanzi immediately nodded, extremely cooperative.
"Why did you and your sister come to the Golden Essence Immortal Domain? To capture me?" Han Li asked with a cold expression.
"We came to the Golden Essence Immortal Domain to capture Friend Han under the orders of the Ingenious Magic Immortal Lord. At the same time, we will seize a treasure that originally belonged to the Nine Yuan Temple from Friend Han. It is said to be a dark green time immortal artifact in the shape of a small bottle," Lan Yuanzi replied without any hesitation.
Han Li's heart shook upon hearing this.
The Sky Bottle had always been his deepest secret. Apart from a few close friends, no one else knew about it. It seemed that this secret could no longer be hidden.
"How did the Nine Yuan Temple know that I have that thing?" Han Li asked after a moment of silence.
Lan Yuanzi shook his head and said, "I'm not very clear about this. I heard that it was deduced from a Fortune Crystal Grain, which was obtained from Fellow Daoist."
"Fortune Crystal Grain!" Han Li's eyes flickered, and the Time Crystal Grain appeared in his mind.
"Did the Golden Han Immortal Palace send anyone else apart from you and your sister?" He continued to ask.
"No. The Ingenious Magic Immortal Lord only sent the two of us. I thought that our combined strength is comparable to a Grand Heavenly Immortal Lord and is enough to defeat you, Friend Han. I didn't expect you to be so powerful. We are no match for you even if we join forces," Lan Yuanzi said with a wry smile.
Han Li inwardly heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He then asked Lan Yuanzi a few more questions, to which Lan Yuanzi answered all of them without any hesitation.
After asking the questions that he wanted to ask, Han Li stood in silence and cast his gaze into the distance, seemingly contemplating something.
Lan Yuanzi stood quietly at the side and did not disturb him.
Han Li looked into the distance for a moment before he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the center of Lan Yuanzi's brows. A crystal light flashed on his fingertip.
Lan Yuanzi was shocked, but he didn't have time to react. His eyes rolled over and he fainted.
Han Li made a series of hand seals and pointed at Lan Yuanzi. Crystal light flashed on his fingertip, and he set up a seal in Lan Yuanzi's mind to imprison his soul. Only then did he stop.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly asked, "Weeping Soul, was there any falsehood in what he said?"
"No. There were no abnormalities in his soul when he answered your questions. He was telling the truth, and he didn't lie or conceal anything," the Weeping Soul's voice sounded in the air.
Han Li slowly nodded when he heard this.
Although he admired Lan Yuanzi, he would kill him and search his soul without hesitation if there was any falsehood in his words.
"It's much more convenient to just kill him and let me search his soul. Why bother asking so many questions?"
The space behind Han Li fluctuated, and a silver door of light appeared. The Weeping Soul's figure emerged from within.
Han Li tossed the unconscious Lan Yuanzi into the branch space and said softly, "That Lan Yan has escaped. The two of them seem to be very close, so she will most likely come looking for him. When that time comes, this Lan Yuanzi will still be useful."
"That Lan Yan?
The two siblings were no match for you even when they joined forces. Now that Lan Yan is the only one left, there's nothing to worry about.
It's even better if she dares to come. We can capture them all in one fell swoop, "the Weeping Soul said nonchalantly.
Han Li shook his head and said, "Don't be careless. I don't really care about Lan Yan, but Qi Mozi is also in this immortal mansion. They are both from the Heavenly Court, so it'll be troublesome if they join forces. It's never wrong to be careful."
"That's true." The Weeping Soul nodded.
Han Li didn't continue to pay attention to the Lan siblings and looked around.
He chased after Lan Yuanzi and Qi Mozi all the way to the depths of the crimson desert.
At this moment, there were many tall sand dunes in the sea of sand. They looked like short mountains, and the sand dunes were no longer barren. Instead, there were red thorns growing on them.
There were also some sand lizards, sand scorpions, and other small beasts living in the depths of the sand dunes. However, they were all ordinary creatures and not demonic beasts.
The Weeping Soul also looked around and suddenly let out a cry of surprise. A strange light flickered in its eyes.
"Oh, what did you notice?" Han Li looked over and asked with bright eyes.
The Weeping Soul's physique was special, and its observation point was different from his. Therefore, it often made some special discoveries.
"This place has a very strong death aura and resentment. It doesn't seem to be a good place. Master, you must be careful," the Weeping Soul said with a solemn expression.
"I also noticed that this place is dangerous. It doesn't seem to be a good place.
The stone tablet in front of the entrance has the word 'two' written on it. Is this the second floor of the Time Tower? "Han Li's expression also became solemn when he heard this.
"It's very possible. Previously, when I looked at it from the outside, this Tower of Time was perfectly round and didn't have any obvious level barriers. However, after careful observation, this tower is divided into seven levels. It seems like this is the second level. I wonder what Venerable Tai Sui built this tower for." Weeping Soul said.
"In any case, let's explore this place first."
Han Li shook his head and stopped thinking about it. With a wave of his hand, he emitted a blue light that smoothed out the traces of battle in the surroundings. Then, he chose a direction and flew away.
As for the Weeping Soul, he didn't let it return to the flower branch space. Instead, he brought it with him.
In the blink of an eye, half a day passed.
The surroundings were still the same crimson sea of sand. This sea of sand was surprisingly large, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Just as Han Li was feeling puzzled, the Weeping Soul suddenly let out a cry of surprise and flew down.
Han Li raised his eyebrows and followed it. The two soon landed in front of a sand dune.
The Weeping Soul waved its hand and emitted a black light that cut the sand dune in half.
A grayish-white skeleton of several meters long appeared. It looked like the skeleton of a giant lizard. It was covered with weathered cracks and looked as if it would shatter at any time.
"What's wrong with this skeleton?"
Han Li's Spiritual Sense had already discovered this weathered skeleton, but he didn't notice anything strange about it.
"Master, how many years do you think this skeleton has existed here?" The Weeping Soul's white finger stroked the weathered skeleton and asked.
"The sand lizards here aren't demon beasts, but they're still mutants. Their bodies are far more resilient than normal sand lizards, and their skeletons have been eroded to this extent for at least several centuries. Why do you ask?" Han Li asked in a puzzled manner.
"This sand lizard died less than ten years ago," The Weeping Soul shook its head and said.
"What!
How do you know? "Han Li's body shuddered when he heard this.
"Every living creature has a soul within their body. Although the soul will dissipate after death, there will still be some remnant soul power lingering around the corpse. It will only completely dissipate after many years, so we can use this to determine the time of death.
The soul power fragments on this skeleton are still very rich, so it died less than ten years ago, "the Weeping Soul explained.
"There's actually such a method to determine the time of death?" Han Li was surprised to hear this.
However, to be able to sense the remnant soul power fragments on the fallen skeletons required an extremely powerful divine sense. Even with his powerful divine sense, he was unable to do so. It appeared that the Weeping Soul Beast's divine sense was becoming more and more powerful.
"But if this sand lizard died less than ten years ago, how could its corpse have been weathered to this extent?" Han Li frowned and murmured to himself.
