The Heavenly Court, Time Peak.
This place was surrounded by golden auspicious clouds, and they overlapped layer after layer, causing them to change unpredictably.
A 30km tall stone tablet stood towering above the golden clouds, and it emanated rays of golden light that flowed without end.
Numerous golden words were inscribed on the stone tablet, and they seemed to be the names of people of varying sizes.
These golden names were arranged according to size and from top to bottom.
The few names at the top were the largest, and one of them was Han Li's name, and it was ranked at the third position.
Right at this moment, Han Li's name on the stone tablet suddenly glowed brightly with golden light, and it swiftly enlarged before it suddenly leaped forward and pushed the two names before it to occupy the first position.
A wave of fluctuation suddenly arose in the space before the stone tablet, and then a white clothed man in a wheelchair appeared out of thin air.
There was another figure standing by the wheelchair man's side. It was a graceful young man in a golden robe, and his skin was golden as well, causing him to seem extremely noble.
The strongest part about this person was his eyes, and they flickered with an illusory golden light that caused others to be unable to look at him directly. It seemed to have surpassed some sort of law of the heavens and the earth.
"How could this be possible!?
Han Li has actually attained the advanced-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm! "The golden robed young man revealed an expression of disbelief when he saw the changes on the stone tablet, and he cried out involuntarily.
"Looks like this Han Li is still a step ahead of you." The wheelchair man looked at the stone tablet and smiled lightly.
"This subordinate is useless, please punish me, Supreme Exalt!" The golden robed young man's expression changed drastically, and he immediately prostrated himself on the ground.
"Han Li has inherited Mi Luo's mantle, so it's normal for his cultivation to be a step ahead of you. However, I've spent a lot of effort to nurture you, so don't disappoint me." The wheelchair man spoke indifferently, and then his figure flashed and vanished.
The golden robed young man lay on the ground for a long time, and he only dared to stand up after the wheelchair man's aura had completely vanished.
"Han Li, Han Li …" He looked at Han Li's name on the stone tablet with a ferocious expression on his face, and then his figure flashed and vanished as well.
…
Within the secret room in the nameless mountain range, the golden light that shot down from the golden ocean didn't stop, and the surging energy of the Laws of Time continued to pour into Han Li's body.
The surrounding Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that seeped in from the void also rumbled and gathered.
Han Li's one thousand eight hundred mystic apertures and one thousand three hundred and twenty immortal apertures flickered incessantly, his body was like a bottomless pit, no matter how much time law and heaven and earth essence energy came, they were all absorbed.
The Immortal Spiritual Energy within his body was rapidly increasing, and the power of the Law of Time within his body also continued to surge. The number of Time Law Crystal Threads did not increase, but every single one of them was releasing waves of golden radiance, and was surprisingly becoming thicker.
Rumble!
An increasingly powerful aura emanated from Han Li's body, causing the surrounding secret chamber, which had been reinforced with restrictions, to rumble and tremble. It was as if it could not withstand this power.
Cracks began to appear on the walls of the secret chamber, growing larger and larger as if they were about to completely collapse.
At this moment, a golden ray of light shot out from Han Li's body and swept across the nearby walls.
The cracks on the wall suddenly shrunk and disappeared completely in a few breaths.
However, the aura on Han Li's body surged, and soon, the wall cracked again. However, the golden light came again, and the wall was restored.
This cycle continued for a day and a night.
Han Li's body was surrounded by golden light, making it difficult to look at him directly.
At this moment, his body appeared to be translucent, and one thousand eight hundred Time Law Crystal Threads could be seen clearly.
These Time Law Crystal Threads were now more than ten times thicker, and wrapped around his body like chains, looking indestructible.
The aura emitted by Han Li was as deep as the sea, and was not inferior to that of Bone Emperor, but compared to the unfathomable Samsara Temple Master, it still felt a little inferior.
At this moment, the golden sea in the void above his head suddenly fluctuated, and soon disappeared in a flash, along with the falling golden light.
The broken void quickly healed, and everything in the secret chamber quickly returned to normal.
The golden light on the surface of Han Li's body quickly dissipated, and he slowly descended from mid-air.
At this moment, there was not the slightest sense of power on his body, and the aura of Immortal Spiritual Energy and the Law of Time were all gone. He looked like a mortal who had never cultivated before.
The array in the secret chamber had already collapsed, and now there was nothing left.
The Earthly Immortal puppet possessed by the Good Zombie had already regained its freedom, but he did not move, and had been standing quietly in the corner of the secret chamber.
The Good Zombie looked up and down at Han Li, and a trace of fear suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Just a day and a night ago, he was still able to hold his own against Han Li and converse with him in a carefree manner.
At this moment, Han Li had undergone an earth-shattering change. At first glance, he looked like a mortal, but under the probing of his divine sense, Han Li's entire body was like an unfathomable sea. No matter how he tried to sense, he could not see through Han Li's depth. Instead, he felt like he was being sucked in, and hurriedly withdrew his divine sense.
"Congratulations on advancing to the Late-stage of Zenith Heaven and mastering the Law of Time." The Good Zombie cupped his hands and said.
"I still have to thank you for your help." Han Li opened his eyes and said with a faint smile.
The Good Zombie shook his head and said indifferently, "With your divine ability, even if I didn't leave, I would still be slashed out in the end. There's no need to talk about help."
"This Earthly Immortal Incarnation was carefully refined by me. It should be quite compatible with you, right?" Han Li looked at the Earthly Immortal puppet possessed by the Good Zombie.
"It's very compatible. Thank you for finding such a good body for me." The Good Zombie looked at his own body and said with a smile.
The good corpse looked at Han Li and saluted him, "Fellow Daoist Han, although it isn't a great achievement for me to take the initiative to leave, it will save you a bit of trouble. I have a request that I hope Fellow Daoist will agree to."
"Speak." Han Li was not surprised and said.
He had guessed this when the Good Zombie took the initiative to leave.
"Friend Han, now that you've advanced to the Late-stage of Zenith Heaven, I'm afraid you'll be heading to the Samsara Temple next. You're powerful now, so you naturally don't have to be afraid. It's just that I don't want to get involved in your battle," said the Good Zombie.
"You want to leave?" Han Li's eyes flickered and asked.
"Don't worry, I won't join the Samsara Temple or the Heavenly Court to become your enemy.
I've found my place of belonging from your previous acts of doing good. I want to continue on this path and travel to all parts of the True Immortal World to benefit the people of the world and pursue the realm of ultimate kindness, "said the Good Zombie with a clear gaze.
"Since you have such a wish, Han will fulfill it." Han Li nodded after a moment of silence.
"Then I'll take my leave. Take care, Friend." The Good Zombie was delighted when he heard this and cupped his hands at Han Li.
Before he finished speaking, a golden light flashed on his body and his figure instantly disappeared without a trace.
Han Li stood there quietly and did not care about the Good Zombie's departure.
It was good that the Good Zombie left. He still had to be on guard against it at all times.
He quickly closed his eyes again and sensed the changes in his cultivation. His face slowly revealed a look of surprise.
Before this, Han Li had guessed that his strength would undergo a great change after advancing to the Late-Stage Golden Immortal Realm. Now that he had really advanced to the Late-Stage Golden Immortal Realm, he realized that his previous considerations were too simple.
Now that he had stepped into a completely new realm, everything around him seemed to be different from before.
Han Li stretched out his hand to touch the void beside him. He did not circulate any Immortal spiritual energy, the power of the law, or the power of his physical body.
"Pu!" The void trembled like water before exploding. A spatial hole that was more than 30 meters in diameter appeared in the secret chamber.
Spatial fragments shot out from the hole and slashed towards the walls of the secret chamber.
With a thought, the spatial fragments that shot out immediately stopped on the spot as if they were shackled by an invisible force.
Han Li looked at his palm with a look of surprise.
At this moment, he felt as if he had been possessed by some mysterious power. He had a feeling of control over the surrounding world. It was as if he had become an omnipotent existence that could easily control a part of the world.
Han Li slowly circulated this power of control and looked around. The entire Crane Ridge Immortal Domain was shockingly under his eyes. Nothing could escape his eyes, and it was 10 times clearer than before.
At this moment, the Good Zombie appeared in a desolate city and was observing the situation in the city.
In the desolate city that he was in earlier, Li Hai was entertaining guests.
Not only the Crane Ridge Immortal Domain, but the nearby Immortal Domains and some of the lower realms could also be easily seen.
"Could this be the energy of the Heaven Dao …" Han Li revealed a look of pleasant surprise as he muttered to himself.
He had read in the ancient books that when a law was cultivated to the absolute peak, one would be able to communicate with the Heaven Dao and obtain the blessing of the Heaven Dao. One would be able to exert the might to destroy the world with just a raise of one's hand.
However, this realm could only be reached by a Dao Ancestor. He was only at the Late-Stage Golden Immortal Realm now, so how could he communicate with the Heaven Dao?
Han Li thought in his heart, and he raised his hand and slapped the space in front of him.
The space in the sky above him fluctuated violently, and an enormous golden palm appeared. It enveloped the space in the sky for hundreds of millions of kilometers, and it suddenly slapped down.
Rumble!
An extremely terrifying fluctuation of energy emanated from the enormous golden palm, and the meteorites and various energy storms beneath the enormous palm exploded and disintegrated into nothingness.
The space in the sky shattered with a bang, and a terrifying black hole that was hundreds of millions of kilometers in size appeared. It emitted a terrifying devouring force and devoured everything in its surroundings.
But right at this moment, the enormous golden palm swiped lightly, and the terrifying black hole instantly closed and vanished without a trace.
The enormous golden palm disappeared along with it, and the space in the sky fluctuated violently before slowly returning to its original state.
Within the secret chamber, Han Li retracted his palm with a happy expression.
After the attempt just now, he had confirmed that he could indeed communicate with the energy of the Heaven Dao. As for why it was like this, it might be because he cultivated the three supreme laws, which were different from ordinary laws.
With his current strength, he was not afraid even if he faced a Dao Ancestor.
Han Li suddenly came to a realization. No wonder the Samsara Temple Master and the Devil Lord were so terrifying even though they were only at the Late-Stage Golden Immortal Realm. They far surpassed ordinary Dao Ancestors, and even the Heavenly Court was extremely afraid of them.
However, as long as he continued to cultivate and reached the peak of the Late-Stage Golden Immortal Realm, he might not be weaker than the Samsara Temple Master and the Devil Lord.
Han Li looked ahead, and his heart was filled with lofty sentiments.
At this moment, he finally stood at the peak of the Immortals, the true peak.
"Wan 'er, wait for me. I'll rescue her soon!" Han Li said in his heart.
He let out a light breath, suppressed the joy in his heart, and sat down cross-legged again.
Although he had advanced to the late-stage Late-Stage Golden Immortal Realm, his realm was still slightly unstable, and he needed to consolidate it.
With a thought, Han Li opened up his spiritual domain and activated the Heavenly Spiral Time Formation. The flow of time within the domain immediately accelerated by a hundred thousand times.
His Law of Time improved greatly again, and his ability to accelerate time improved further.
Not only that, Han Li's control over the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had also improved greatly. As he made a hand seal, the surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into the Heavenly Spiral Time Formation to maintain its operation.
The speed at which the Heavenly Spiral Time Formation consumed Immortal Meta Stones decreased greatly.
Han Li sat down cross-legged, and ten thousand rays of golden light appeared and enveloped his body.
