Somewhere in the True Immortal World.
In a certain golden space, a silvery-white hall floated in mid-air. On a high platform in the hall, four or five figures sat around and seemed to be discussing something.
These figures were all flickering with various spiritual lights that covered most of their faces.
"Daoist Xiong, you've been in our Immortal Prison for some time. Have you adapted?" a person shrouded in white light asked the person beside him.
The person being questioned was shrouded in a layer of golden light. His appearance was a little blurry, but it could be vaguely seen that he was a Youth.
"Everything is fine," the golden light man said with a smile.
"Our clans are old friends. You just broke through to the late-stage Golden Immortal Realm a few days ago. If you need time to consolidate your cultivation and it's inconvenient for you to carry out a mission, just say the word. I can report to the Lord and arrange some time for you," the white light man said while patting his chest.
"Thank you, Daoist Xuan. My realm has already stabilized, so there's no need for other arrangements," the golden light man said.
"Daoist Xiong is indeed a genius sword cultivator. When you first entered the Immortal Prison, you single-handedly killed a mid-stage Golden Immortal from the Samsara Palace with your early-stage Golden Immortal strength. Now that your cultivation is improving rapidly, you'll make great contributions in the future," another figure shrouded in red light said.
"Daoist Di, you flatter me. I was just lucky back then.
By the way, it's rare for us to meet today. Why don't I see Daoist Gongshu? "The golden light man smiled humbly, as if he didn't want to continue talking about himself.
"Gongshu Tian's younger brother died in the Northern Frost Immortal Realm a few years ago. He has always wanted to track down the murderer, but the Lord has never allowed it. He can't calm down. A few days ago, the Monitoring Heavenly Mirror sensed that someone with the fourth level of the Spirit Refinement Art had appeared in the Savage Realm between the Northern Frost Immortal Realm and the Black Earth Immortal Realm. Gongshu Tian invited him to investigate this matter," the red light man said slowly.
"When did this happen?
Why didn't I hear anything about it? The first three levels of the Spirit Refinement Art are fine, but this person actually managed to cultivate the fourth level. It seems like the Samsara Palace is really restless, "the white light man said solemnly.
"Not long ago, all of you were carrying out a mission outside. I was the only one there.
Samsara Temple, hehe, when has it ever stopped? "The man in red light said with a chuckle.
The man in golden light's eyes flickered as he slowly said, "The situation in the Wasteland Region is very complicated. The Wasteland Tribes are extremely hostile to us cultivators, especially the people of the Heavenly Court. I'm afraid it won't be easy to enter and investigate."
"That's right, I'm afraid Gong Shutian's trip will also be fruitless." The person in red light shook his head with a look of disapproval.
The eyes of the golden man flickered. No one knew what he was thinking.
…
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed.
In the sky above a certain desolate place in the Wilderness, a streak of green light streaked across the sky and disappeared in an instant, leaving behind only a faint green mark.
Amidst the green light was a green flying car.
Han Li sat on the flying chariot with his legs crossed. Golden light flickered around him as he quietly cultivated. Before him was a white cloud.
After an unknown period of time, the golden light on his body slowly dissipated, revealing his figure. He slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze flickered a few times.
After more than half a year of painstaking cultivation, his injuries had all healed, and the power of the divine sense in his mind had also completely recovered.
He looked at the white cloud in front of him. The golden ball in the cloud was flickering, but Jin Tong still did not show any signs of coming out.
Han Li's brows slightly furrowed, but soon relaxed.
Jin Tong had devoured the late-stage Primordial Unity Golden Devouring Immortal this time, and had probably slept much longer than before. With the map given by the Heavenly Fox Clan's Grand Luo, the journey was relatively safe, and there was no need to be anxious.
He turned his gaze and looked at Magic Light and Pi Xiu at the side.
Pi Xiu was lying in a corner of the flying car, its body flickering with white light as if it was dozing off.
Magic Light was sitting cross-legged, his body faintly glowing with black light, and he held the black spirit beast bag in his arms.
Wisps of black Evil Qi kept gushing out of the bag and into his body.
"Huh!" Han Li looked at the black light and suddenly let out a soft cry.
Although Magic Light was currently cultivating with the help of the Evil Qi, the fluctuation of the Evil Qi emanating from his body was very weak, even weaker than his own.
Now that he had possessed the body of a high-level Rat Immortal, in a sense, he was no different from an ordinary Rat Immortal. In terms of the intensity of the Evil Qi, he was far stronger than him.
Magic Light seemed to have sensed Han Li's gaze, so he stopped cultivating and opened his eyes, "Friend Han, what's wrong?"
"Why is the fluctuation of the Evil Qi on your body so weak? Did you use some secret technique to conceal your aura?"
Han Li glanced at Demonshine's eyes and discovered that they weren't grey like the Rat Immortal's eyes. Instead, they were black like a human's eyes. If one didn't look carefully, they would most likely be overlooked.
He was still thinking about how to conceal the intense Evil Qi on Magic Light so that he could bring him into the Black Mountain Immortal Domain. Now, it seemed that he did not have to worry about this problem.
"Friend Han, you're wrong.
I'm just cultivating normally, and I didn't use any secret technique to conceal my aura … "Magic Light was slightly startled and said so.
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately sensed that the Evil Qi on his body was weak, and a surprised look appeared on his face.
"How can this be?" Magic Light murmured, as if he was also puzzled.
"You haven't done anything, so why do you look like an ordinary person?" Han Li asked.
"Huh, it seems that I don't feel any discomfort in this Immortal World. When I just left the abyss of Evil Qi, I didn't feel good.
All of this seems to be caused by a strange cyclone in my Dantian, which was born from the pill you gave me before. "Magic Light closed his eyes and said after a while, a little surprised.
"Are you talking about the Void Essence Pill?
It has the effect of restraining the Evil Qi? "Han Li's eyes flashed, and he asked.
"Yes, this cyclone can restrain the aura of the Evil Qi.
Speaking of which, I've taken this pill for some time, but I didn't find this effect before, "Magic Light said.
"Void Essence Pill …" Han Li's eyes flashed, and his mind was racing.
"This pill is special.
However, I can feel that the cyclone formed by the power of this pill is not permanent, and it is dissipating little by little. I'm afraid it can only last for about a few years … at most ten years, "Magic Light said after sensing the situation in his body again.
Han Li's expression changed when he heard this, and he nodded slowly.
He used to think that the function of the Void Essence Pill was to awaken the soul of a Rat Immortal, but after sensing the situation in Magic Light's body, the real function of this pill was probably to allow a Rat Immortal to adapt to the True Immortal Domain's Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth, and suppress the Evil Qi in his body, so as to achieve the purpose of recovery.
If he and Magic Light wanted to go to other Immortal Domains, it seemed that this pill was indispensable.
Fortunately, he had obtained a lot of Black Marrow Crystals, the main material for refining the Void Essence Pill, from the Rat Immortal's Storage Magic Device. Although he did not have the other materials, they were not too precious, and he should be able to buy them in the Samsara Temple.
Han Li flipped his hand, took out the Samsara Temple mask, and opened the trading interface inside to buy the other materials.
After doing this, he took out a Black Marrow Crystal and carefully examined it.
The Black Marrow Crystal was surrounded by wisps of black Qi, which was extremely pure Evil Qi.
The quality of these Black Marrow Crystals was much better than the ones Jiao San had given him before. Refining pills needed to be balanced, and if he used this to refine the Void Essence Pill, he might need to adjust some of the refining steps.
As Han Li was thinking about these things, the Evil Qi in his Immortal Aperture suddenly jumped and rolled violently uncontrollably.
His body trembled, and streams of ink-black Qi flew out of his body and quickly spread to the surroundings. In the blink of an eye, the Evil Qi had covered an area of tens of feet, and the people on the flying car were drowned in it.
The Evil Qi emitted a towering Evil Qi, and Han Li's eyes glowed with blood-red light. He seemed to have turned into a terrifying Evil God.
"Fellow daoist Han, you …" As Demonshine saw this, his complexion changed and he cried out in alarm.
Pi Xiu and Daoist Xie also noticed Han Li's situation, and they were shocked.
The green flying car flashed, and it came to a stop in the air.
"You guys wait here, don't follow me."
Han Li abruptly stood up and said to the others. His body then shot out and descended toward the ground.
Below him was a continuous mountain range, which was full of green and rich Spirit Qi.
There was a huge canyon between two mountain peaks, and a river flowed slowly from the bottom of the canyon.
There were many demonic beasts living in the mountain range, but sensing Han Li's terrifying aura, they immediately fled, and all of them were gone in the blink of an eye.
Han Li flew straight into the canyon, and he threw a punch without saying a word.
A mountain wall in front of him rumbled, and a cave was blasted out.
He flew in and quickly set up a restriction around him, then sat down with his legs crossed.
Golden light burst out from his body, but the Evil Qi continued to flow out of his body, and it was getting thicker and thicker.
On the flying car.
"Master, what's wrong?" Pi Xiu asked in shock.
"From the looks of it, this is the last of the five blights of the Deva, the Demon Decay." Demonshine slowly said.
Daoist Xie took a glance at Magic Light, and he struck out a hand seal.
The flying car descended toward the mountain range, and it stopped far away from Han Li in the canyon.
"Master has only just reached the peak of Golden Immortal, how can Evil Decay come so soon!" Pi Xiu said with a grim expression.
"Fellow Daoist Han used fiendish qi to attack his immortal aperture, the fiendish qi in his body is extremely dense, it is reasonable for him to trigger fiendish decay so quickly." Demonshine's eyes flickered with grey light as he spoke.
"Evil Decay is extremely powerful, and it is the most difficult step before reaching the Grand Unity Jade Immortal. I've been with Gongshu Jiu, and I've seen countless people who have prepared for many years to no avail, and in the end, they died from the backlash of Evil Qi.
Master has only just reached the peak of Golden Immortal, and I'm afraid he hasn't made any preparations, this tribulation … "Pi Xiu sighed.
Magic Light's eyes flickered, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
Daoist Xie looked at the cave in the distance with a blank expression.
