The Goldspring Immortal Domain, the Nine Origin Temple.
A mountain range that rose and fell continuously was like an azure dragon lying on its back, and it stood tall with numerous towering and extraordinary peaks.
Amongst these few hundred peaks of various shapes and imposing auras, there was a lone peak that wasn't too tall, yet had an especially beautiful scenery. It was concealed within the mist and clouds, and it revealed some verdant mountains that were like a pipa that covered one's face, causing one to be filled with a myriad of fanciful thoughts.
On this lone peak, there was a snow white waterfall that descended from the sky at the front, back, and right respectively. The waterfall flew down for 1,000m like the milky way that descended from the nine heavens, and it caused water that seemed like pearls to spray out, causing three rainbow colored rays of light to appear high in the sky, causing it to be extremely gorgeous.
The cries of apes rose and fell in the mountain range while red-crowned cranes could be seen flying high in the sky from time to time. The air was enshrouded with strands of flowing lights and multicolored lights, and it was a scene that was formed from extremely abundant spirit energy of the heavens and the earth.
On the peak of the mountain was a circular observation platform that protruded out from the mountain, and a middle aged Daoist that wore a dark green Daoist robe and a lotus shaped crown was standing on it.
His figure was tall, and he had an extremely imposing appearance. He had a square face that was completely ordinary, yet his face glowed and was faintly enveloped by the glow of jade, causing others to feel that he was an immortal with a single glance.
At this moment, the man was leaning on the railing and looking up, yet the magnificent scene before him was unable to make him reveal a smile, and the space between his brows knit together slightly while he seemed to be slightly worried in his heart.
Meanwhile, an old man that wore an azure robe walked over from the square on the peak of the mountain. His figure was thin, his appearance was thin, and he had a white beard beneath his chin, causing him to seem rather sage-like.
"Disciple Qing Xu greets Martial Uncle Chun Jun." The old man arrived behind the middle aged man and bowed respectfully as he spoke.
The middle aged Daoist that was called Martial Uncle Chun Jun was called Daoist Chun Jun in the Immortal Domain. He was the closed door disciple of the Nine Origin Temple's Founding Ancestor, and his seniority in the sect was extremely high while he possessed an extremely great reputation in the Immortal Domain.
Most importantly, he was currently at the advanced-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm, and he temporarily held the position of Temple Master of the Nine Origin Temple.
"You are back. How is the investigation going?" Daoist Chun Jun asked.
"Replying to Martial Uncle, the Sky Bottle has indeed reappeared in the Immortal Realms. Currently, it's in the hands of a person named Han Li," said the old man named Qing Xu.
"Han Li?" Chun Jun Zhenren frowned and asked.
"On the surface, this person is from the Northern Frost Celestial Realm and has stayed in the Fire Dragon Path for a long time. However, he seems to be a cultivator from the lower realm who ascended from the lost Small South Continent Realm Group," Qing Xu said.
"Oh, to be able to ascend from the Lost World, he must be extraordinary. Is there any record of receiving him at the Ascension Platform?" Chun Jun Zhenren asked.
"There is … The one who received him was a cultivator from the Stone Temple named Gao Sheng. However, this person seemed to have deliberately concealed a lot of information in order to rope him into their sect, causing the records to be vague.
What's even stranger is that this person didn't enter the Stone Axis Hall. Instead, he disappeared on his way there, "Qing Xu said.
"Oh, what happened?" Chun Jun Zhenren asked curiously.
"There's no way to find out what exactly happened. We only know that this person disappeared for three hundred years after that. When he reappeared in the sights of the Heavenly Court, it was already the time when the Fire Dragon Path was destroyed.
Since then, this person has moved to many Immortal Realms and had many conflicts with the Heavenly Court. However, he was lucky enough to escape.
The most recent trouble he caused was when he attacked the Small Golden Origin Immortal Palace and killed the palace master Dongfang Bai, "Qing Xu said.
"What's his cultivation level?" Chun Jun Zhenren frowned and asked.
"Peak Primordial Unity," Qing Xu said.
"A mere Primordial Unity cultivator was able to attack an Immortal Palace alone. Such strength and courage, he's definitely not someone to be trifled with.
In that case, She Chan was also killed by him? "Chun Jun Zhenren asked.
"When Martial Niece Lan Yan returned, she reported to the sect that She Chan was indeed killed by him.
After that, Junior Martial Sister Miao Fa personally took action, but because of Chi Meng's interference, this person still managed to escape.
Since then, we've lost track of this person. For the time being, we don't know where he is, "Qing Xu continued.
"This matter is related to the Sky Bottle. We must pay attention to it. Once we find it, it'll be of great significance to our Nine Yuan Temple," Chun Jun Zhenren frowned and said.
"Currently, Junior Martial Sister Miao Fa has yet to return from pursuing him. One-third of the entire Nine Yuan Temple's Shadow Guards have been assigned to this matter. Once this person's traces are exposed, he'll definitely not be able to escape from our sight," Qing Xu said.
"Now that the Immortal Realm is in chaos, the few Immortal Realms under our jurisdiction are not peaceful. Among them, the Heavenly Star Immortal Realm and Tongzhou Immortal Realm are the most chaotic. As the Deputy Temple Masters, both Senior Martial Brothers have to go and deal with it.
Miao Fa of the Four Great Divine Ambassadors is not here. Only the three of you are still in the temple. Half of the eight Venerables are also in other Immortal Realms. We must be prepared to prevent chaos in the Immortal Realms. Moreover, we must not disturb the seclusion of the few Ancestors, "Chun Jun Zhenren sighed and said.
"Sect Master Martial Uncle, rest assured. Our Golden Origin Immortal Realm has always been well-guarded. It's impregnable. How would the scoundrel dare to invade?" Qing Xu said.
"By the way, how's that Golden Devouring Boy?" Chun Jun Zhenren asked.
"In the beginning, he was very lively and full of energy.
But now, he's much more well-behaved. He eats and drinks in the temple. Apart from the fact that he can't move around freely, he has already regarded himself as a member of the temple, "Qing Xu said with a smile on his face.
"Last time, Master used a secret method to probe him. He said that he has a deep relationship with him. It seems that he values him very much. So, we must take precautions in case the Ancestor doesn't send him as a gift to the Bodhi Banquet. You should prepare a few good gifts for him," Chun Jun Zhenren said.
"Yes," Qing Xu cupped his hands and said.
…
Barbarian World.
In the sky above a mountain range that was shrouded in thick fog, colorful thunders were exploding incessantly.
The sea of clouds high up in the sky was stirred by an extremely powerful force. It turned into a huge cloud tornado that descended from the sky. It connected with the fog on the mountain and directly surged into one of the mountain peaks.
At the foot of the mountain, in a cave abode that had been opened not long ago, a delicate child with red lips and white teeth with golden vertical lines between his eyebrows and a Silver Flame Bird were extremely shocked as they looked at the somewhat heterogeneous but incomparably rich World Origin Qi gathering from all directions and directly surging into a silver door of light in front of them.
The white-robed boy was naturally the Pixiu Xiao Bai, and the Silver Firebird was naturally the Essence Flame Firebird.
"This is …" Xiao Bai was extremely shocked and looked at the Silver Firebird.
The latter could not speak, but it directly transformed into the appearance of the Silver Firebird and repeatedly nodded at the white-robed boy.
"It's only been a mere 20 years, and he's about to break through to the Grand Heavenly Realm. This is too amazing …" Xiao Bai revealed a bright smile on his face and clapped.
The surging Heaven and Earth Essence Qi was really too fast. When it passed through the silver door of light, it emitted a series of loud dragon roars like a flood dragon. The fluctuation that was emitted from it forced Xiao Bai and the white-robed boy to retreat a lot.
At the same time, the wind and clouds in the branch space also changed drastically. The surging Heaven and Earth Essence Qi was no different from a sudden storm to such a small cave abode. At the same time, it was also a test.
The space inside the bamboo forest rustled as the Spirit Bamboo lit up and madly absorbed the surging Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. It continuously dispersed the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi to various parts of the branch space through its roots.
The surface of the newly built bamboo building was overflowing with green light, and it seemed to be alive as it grew by three feet.
In the Spirit Medicine Garden in front of it, the various Spirit Herbs seemed to have received a special irrigation. Many Spirit Seeds that had not sprouted for a long time broke out of the soil, and many Spirit Herbs that had not bloomed for a long time bloomed their petals. There were even many Spirit Fruits that were approaching maturity.
Even the Two Life Tree, which had always been growing slowly, was growing taller and closer to maturity.
In front of the original bamboo building in the space, the pond with the golden lotus was violently undulating as if it was boiling. Large bubbles appeared on the surface of the pond, and a dense mist was rising from it.
In the mist, golden lotus flowers bloomed one after another. In an instant, 49 flowers bloomed, covering the entire pond.
The many changes in the flower branch space were just to bear the scattered primal energies of the universe that had flowed in. The true majority of the primal energies of the universe had flowed into the swaying bamboo building that would not collapse no matter what.
The entire bamboo building was shrouded in light, and with the help of the mist from the pond, it looked even more like an immortal's paradise.
Inside the bamboo building, Han Li, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, was enveloped in a five-colored light. His entire body was like jade, and the golden meridians in his body were clearly visible. There was also a golden light condensing in his mind and soul. The Nascent Soul was sitting cross-legged in his dantian, and his entire body was enveloped in a layer of the fluctuations of the laws of time.
The Heaven and Earth Essence Qi that came from outside the building was condensed in his body and turned into his power.
To Little White, who was outside the space, Han Li had only been in seclusion for 20 years. But to Han Li, who was in this space, under the blessing of the Yin Light Heavenly Jade Formation, he had already spent a full 2,000 years in this space.
These 2,000 years of painstaking cultivation had finally allowed the five materialized objects of the laws of time to reach the state of harmony and balance, and break through to the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm. This was the moment!
Han Li's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and his eyes opened abruptly.
In the next moment, two seemingly substantial rays of golden light shot out of his pupils, and the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi that had gathered outside his body suddenly retracted and entered his body.
His aura had not been completely restrained, and the immortal apertures on his body were flashing with light. His clothes were constantly surging with the aura that was constantly being released, making a "hualala" sound.
In the void above the bamboo building, the sky suddenly lit up, and a faintly discernible river of light suddenly appeared in it.
Han Li slowly stood up and took a deep breath. He only felt that his sea of consciousness was extremely clear, and the flow of spiritual power between heaven and earth became more and more agile at this moment.
Even outside the main building, the state of every minute space at this moment seemed to be seen by him.
