Yu Menghan's expression changed slightly, and she said in surprise, "Did I … cast the Thunder Technique in my dream again?"
"Sigh, you little girl, you really make me worry …" The old woman sighed when she heard this, but her eyes were filled with affection.
Although the old woman had established the Dream Tan Sect for more than ten million years, she had never been able to find a disciple who could inherit her teachings. She accidentally discovered Yu Menghan in her dream and immediately took her in.
The old woman had spent a long time and reached the peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm. She had always yearned to break through the last barrier and become the Dao Ancestor of Dreams, but she had never been able to do so. Now, she felt that the hope was slim.
However, Yu Menghan's appearance gave the old woman another choice, and she placed all her hopes on her.
Yu Menghan was indeed the best candidate to cultivate this Dao. As long as she was willing to cultivate diligently, and with the old woman's assistance, she would have a bright future.
However, what made the old woman feel helpless was that Yu Menghan seemed to be deeply entangled with the past. She couldn't put aside the Five Thunder True Scripture. While she was cultivating the supreme dao technique passed down by her family, she would still unknowingly practice this technique secretly.
"Forget it. The Bodhi Banquet is about to begin. Stop dozing off. You must cherish the Bodhi Dao Fruit later. It's an item that contains the fortune of the Dao." The old woman could not be strict with Yu Menghan, so she could only say that.
"Master, do I get a share of this Dao Fruit too?" Yu Menghan asked in surprise.
"Of course not. None of the people accompanying us will have it. Only those who are officially invited by the Heavenly Court and those who hold the Bodhi Token will have this great fortune.
However, the benefits of eating this Dao Fruit are really limited, so I'll let you have a taste. "The old woman smiled.
"No, no. If it's master's Dao Fruit, I can't eat it." Yu Menghan waved her hand.
"Silly girl, you don't know how precious this Bodhi Dao Fruit is. Not to mention those Taiyi Zenith Heaven Cultivators, even the Dao Ancestors over there cherish this fruit.
Of course, this Dao Fruit is also divided into different levels. The Heavenly Court will treat it differently according to the level of your cultivation and your relationship with the Heavenly Court. "The old woman pointed between Yu Menghan's eyebrows and smiled.
"Then Master's Dao Fruit …" Yu Menghan felt that it was inappropriate and didn't continue.
"I'm naturally the Dao Fruit of the highest grade, so you must not be in a hurry to consume it after you obtain it.
I'll seal it with a spell technique, and after we return to the Dream Cloud Sect, I'll gradually split it up and feed it to you bit by bit. Only then will you be able to absorb the Dao Fruit's medicinal potency without harming your body, "the elderly woman said with a smug smile.
"Fellow Daoist Dream Granny, you're really willing to part with it. This Bodhi Dao Fruit was refined by the Supreme Exalt using a secret technique to condense a variety of Laws, and it took him a very long time to refine it. Yet, you're giving it to your disciple just like that?" Right at this moment, a deep voice resounded from the side.
The old woman didn't even need to turn her head to look as she scolded, "I can give my Dao Fruit to whomever I want. Do I need an old thing like you to care?"
Yu Menghan couldn't help but turn her head to look. She realized that the person who spoke was a tall and burly old man in a grey robe. His face didn't look like an immortal, but his aura wasn't ordinary.
However, his slightly worn-out grey robes seemed a little out of place when compared to the embroidered clothes of the others.
The man wasn't enraged, and he continued to chuckle as he said, "Haha, the Bodhi Dao Fruit can be consumed by those who have yet to attain Dao, and it can be consumed by those who have attained Dao, and it can slow down the corrosion of the Heavenly Dao …"
"Old dog Cang Wu, shut up! Who asked you to meddle in other people's business?" Dream Granny abruptly turned her head and angrily rebuked.
The grey-robed old man with the dao title of True Lord Cang Wu immediately shrunk his neck and fell silent.
"Master, is what this senior said true?" Yu Menghan was extremely shocked.
Since she started cultivating with Dream Granny, her horizons couldn't be compared to all those years ago, and she knew quite a few secrets of the True Immortal Dimension. Thus, when she heard what True Monarch Cangwu said earlier, she realized that the Bodhi Dao Fruit was actually 10,000 times more precious than she'd expected.
"Sigh, of course it's true. Otherwise, why would a Dao Ancestor like that old dog Cang Wu bow down to the Heavenly Court? Not only did he bow down to pressure, but he was also tempted." The old woman no longer spoke, and instead transmitted her voice to Yu Menghan through a secret technique.
When Yu Menghan heard the voice in her heart lake, she secretly made up her mind not to consume the Bodhi Dao Fruit no matter what.
"Thank you for your advice, Senior."
Yu Menghan knew that this True Lord Cang Wu had intentionally pointed out this matter in hopes that her master would consume the fruit herself, so she transmitted her voice to him.
Hearing this, True Lord Cang Wu was slightly taken aback, and he smiled at Dream Granny. "Dream Granny, you're very lucky to have taken in a good disciple …"
After saying that, a trace of disappointment suddenly flashed in his eyes. He silently walked to a table not far away from the old woman, and slowly sat down. He closed his eyes and looked calm.
Yu Menghan looked at the lively scene around her, and for some reason, a trace of melancholy arose in her heart. However, Han Li's figure suddenly appeared in her mind.
I wonder where he is now?
…
In the unknown world, in the Ten Directions Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.
Han Li floated in the pitch-black void, and in the void in front of him, 72 sword spirit children were flying erratically, arranging into a powerful Heavenly Sword Formation.
As rays of golden lightning flashed, the 72 children's bodies shone with golden light, and one by one, they revealed their true bodies, turning into golden flying swords that were intertwined with lightning. Sword Qi condensed between them, intersecting with each other, forming an illusionary golden heavenly gate.
It was different from the heavenly gate formed by the Heavenly Sword Formation. The aura of the heavenly gate in front of them was much weaker, and it looked like an illusion. It was indistinct, but the power of the law of lightning contained within it was real.
Even though they were separated by the barrier of the formation, Zi Shan and the others were still secretly speechless.
"Why is this guy so unreasonable? He clearly cultivates the power of the law of time, so why does his natal flying sword have such pure and overbearing power of the law of lightning?" The ugly old woman, Zhu Yan, asked with a strange expression.
The other three people present looked at each other and were also stunned, but no one could give an answer.
"This set of natal flying swords of his is really extraordinary. I'm afraid it's also a congenital magical weapon that seizes the fortune of heaven and earth …" Dong Li Hu exclaimed and guessed.
As they were talking, the illusionary heavenly gate that appeared out of nowhere in the Ten Directions Ten Thousand Immortals Formation suddenly opened, and a golden sea surged inside. Tens of thousands of golden flood dragons swam out of it, rushing straight to the edge of the barrier.
"Rumble …"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the golden flood dragons that were condensed with the power of the law of lightning all collided with the barrier and exploded like balls of golden flames.
A burst of aura vibrated in the void of the entire barrier, and an extremely violent impact force, wrapped in strands of golden lightning, collided back and forth in the surroundings, surging ceaselessly.
Han Li's figure shuttled back and forth like a bolt of lightning, avoiding the constantly colliding energy waves.
He frowned, and his heart was filled with astonishment.
What kind of formation was this? How could it completely seal off a part of the space? Not only could his and Jintong's physical bodies and Divine Souls not pass through, but even the impact of their attacks could not be transmitted out. It could only impact back and forth in this space until it was completely exhausted and dissipated on its own?
Five hundred thousand kilometers away from him, Jin Tong was also swinging his huge golden fists in another space. He was constantly smashing his fists against a space in the space around him, causing a series of explosions that were like thunderclaps that rumbled incessantly.
That void was also filled with explosions, and the fist energy fluctuated ceaselessly.
At the same time, within the ten Immortal Domains connected to the Ten Directions Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, dozens of mountain ranges shook at the same time, dozens of volcanoes erupted at the same time, and a large area of the sea was surging with unprecedented waves.
The Ten Directions Immortal Domain had gathered all the strength in its body to suppress Han Li and Jintong.
The tens of thousands of cultivators distributed in the various Immortal Domains were also affected at the same time. Among them, the Grand Heavenly Immortals were able to withstand it, but the Primordial Unity Jade Immortals seemed to be having a hard time. Their auras were surging, and it was very uncomfortable.
As for the Golden Immortal cultivators, it was even worse. Many of them could not withstand it, and directly fell to the ground with blood flowing out of their seven orifices.
However, when someone in the formation collapsed, there would immediately be a new person to replace him. Therefore, the Ten Directions Ten Thousand Immortals Formation remained stable and showed no signs of collapse.
After the four people outside the formation checked the injuries of the cultivators maintaining the formation, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was still within a controllable range.
"If it's only to this extent, it's still manageable. Even if we give them ten days to half a month, they might not be able to do anything," the white-haired man, Meng Yuan, said with a faint smile on his face.
"Don't let your guard down. Look carefully, and once you find a loophole, immediately fix it," Zi Shan said with a slightly serious expression, still keeping her guard up.
"Yes," the curly-bearded man, Dong Li Hu, answered first, and the other two followed suit.
Inside the formation, Han Li had already recalled the Sword Spirit Boy. He floated in the air, frowning in silence.
At this moment, a golden light shot from afar and stopped in front of him. The figure of Jin Tong emerged from it.
"This formation is too strange. With my strength, I can't break it directly." Jin Tong sighed and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He was a little annoyed.
"The heaven and earth here are completely sealed off. My Sky-piercing Sword Formation can't communicate with the heaven and earth here. I can only use part of its power, and still can't break this barrier," Han Li said as he glanced at her.
"Why don't we … Let's not attack this barrier. Let's exchange blows and see if the resulting power can tear this void apart?
If it's possible, you and I can directly go through the void crack and enter the extraterrestrial space. Then, we can escape, right? "Jin Tong suddenly thought of something.
Han Li thought for a moment after hearing Jin Tong's words. He also felt that this plan was worth a try.
Hence, the two of them quickly got into position and fled tens of thousands of miles away. One of them punched, while the other swung his sword. They collided at lightning speed.
Rumble …
In a split second, a wave of spatial shock that was far more powerful than before spread. The sound of explosions in the void did not stop. Waves of collision waves battered the entire formation, and the sound did not stop for a long time.
Jin Tong dodged the aftershocks of the collision and came to Han Li's side.
The two of them exchanged glances with each other, and both of them were extremely disappointed. Even though the shockingly mighty attack from before had caused space to tremble without end, it was unable to slash open a spatial crack in the surrounding space as they had expected.
