Not long after Han Li's figure disappeared, a whistling sound suddenly came from a distant horizon. Immediately afterwards, a point of golden light emerged and quickly grew larger, rushing towards this place.

This ball of golden light was extremely dazzling, like a rising sun, causing the surrounding creatures to dare not look directly at it.

The edges of its light were sharp as saws, appearing as rays of light flames. Wherever it passed, the void rippled visibly, as if about to be directly cut open.

Finally, the golden light hovered in the void where Han Li had been.

As the light gradually weakened, a huge golden beetle emerged from it, flapping its wings rapidly. It was none other than the Taiyi Realm Gold Devouring Immortal who had been relentlessly pursuing Han Li and Jin Tong.

Perhaps due to burning its source power, its size was noticeably smaller than when it appeared in Red Snail River Valley, but the flames around its body were even more intense. Its cold eyes were filled with monstrous killing intent.

Not long ago, it received news from the insectoid race that the eight major beast clans had gathered their strength and launched a large-scale counterattack. Led by the Beast King You Hu, the true spirits of each clan emerged, causing the insectoid army, lacking its command, to suffer repeated defeats and countless casualties.

The remnants of the insectoid army had already begun a full retreat to the insectoid territory. The subsequent occupation of large tracts of land by the beast clans was inevitable. The excellent situation previously achieved had completely disappeared.

However, even so, it had no intention of returning to the insectoid race.

Or rather, the life and death of the insectoid race seemed less important to it than the slim chance of catching the fellow insectoid ahead.

Sniffing the residual electric aura in the air, the Gold Devouring Immortal did not continue to track. Instead, it hovered in place, recovering. Past experience told it that waiting for the little guy to reappear before pursuing would be much more reliable than wasting time going in the wrong direction.

Furthermore, it believed that such a teleportation-like escape technique could not be used for long.

Before long, it would tear apart the fellow insectoid it had been tracking for so long and devour it into its belly.

……

Meanwhile.

In a certain place in the Wildlands Domain, above a cluster of abrupt peaks, a violent tremor suddenly came from the void. Countless electric filaments surged out of thin air and converged into a huge silver lightning formation in the high sky.

"Chi La" a burst of lightning and thunder!

A figure flashed out from it, hovering in mid-air, it was Han Li.

He took a deep breath, causing his heaving chest to calm down slightly. Then, with a wave of his hand, he took out a beast skin map, his eyes focused as he carefully examined it.

After a moment, he put away the map and took out another one, examining it again.

After looking at several maps in succession, he looked around for a moment, his face showing a pensive expression.

Before long, seemingly identifying the direction, Han Li waved his hand, summoned the Green Jade Flying Chariot again, and flew straight away.

After about half an hour, he stopped the flying chariot again, and with a wave of his hand, a flash of white light, the White Jade Pixiu was summoned.

Soon, Jin Tong also flew out of the White Jade Pixiu's mouth.

Her small face was a little pale as she looked around at the surrounding scenery. She found herself hovering above the summit of a white snow-capped peak and hurriedly asked Han Li, "Uncle, where are we?"

"This area is not on the beast clan's map, so it must be far away from the area where they and the insectoid race live. It must have entered a deeper area of the Wildlands." Han Li looked back in the direction they had come from and said.

"So far..." Jin Tong muttered to herself.

"Now my divine sense can no longer sense that guy at all. Try to sense it and see if you can still lock its distance and location?" Han Li looked away and asked Jin Tong.

Hearing this, Jin Tong immediately closed her eyes and carefully felt it.

"The distance is very far now. Although there is still a connection, it is much weaker than before." After a long while, she opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, and said.

"We must not be careless. According to the previous situation, that guy has no intention of giving up at all. Xiao Bai, do you recognize this place?" Han Li shook his head and looked at the Pixiu, who was looking around, and asked.

"It seems that I came here once a long, long time ago, but I don't remember clearly. After all, the Wildlands is too big, and there are many similar terrains. However, according to what you said, Master, if we have really left the area of the insectoid and beast races, then this place can be considered to have truly entered the depths of the Wildlands, and the traces of the human race will become less and less." Pixiu tilted his head and thought for a while, and said.

"It seems that the level of danger here will also increase a lot. There is no turning back now, so we can only continue on our way. According to my estimation, the general direction should not be wrong. As long as we keep going, we will eventually reach the Black Mountain Immortal Domain. Jin Tong, don't go back to Xiao Bai's belly for the time being. Always pay attention to the movements of that Gold Devouring Immortal. Once it chases after us again, not hesitating to burn its source power, you must inform me in time." Han Li nodded and said.

"Don't worry, Uncle, just leave it to me." Jin Tong patted her chest and guaranteed.

Han Li waved his hand and summoned the Crab Taoist, instructing him: "For the next period of time, I will have to trouble you to drive the flying chariot. I need to adjust my breathing for a while, and then I will continue to practice the Refinement Technique."

The Crab Taoist naturally had no objection and nodded in response.

After explaining all this, Han Li walked to the back of the carriage, took out a pill with a flip of his hand, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to adjust his breathing.

……

In a flash, more than twenty days passed.

Han Li was now driving the Green Jade Flying Chariot, flying over a dense forest of countless ancient trees, each thousands of feet tall.

Suddenly, a flash of light caught the corner of his eye, and he saw that between the verdant branches below, there were faintly visible tall stone buildings hidden among them.

Curious, he stopped the flying chariot with a wave of his hand. After a careful scan, he discovered that there was actually a huge stone-built ancient city below.

The architectural style of this ancient city was completely different from that of the Immortal Domains, and it was also very different from the various beast tribes. It was mostly built with giant stone strips, on which were carved various strange alien beast patterns. Among them were bird-beast human figures with four arms, snake-man statues with two heads and arms growing at the top, and various huge head statues with huge eyes protruding from their sockets… in various forms.

However, most of these buildings were covered with thick green moss, and many areas had already collapsed and were dilapidated. Inside, it was lifeless, with no spiritual energy fluctuations and no living creatures, making it seem very quiet.

After looking at it from a distance for a while, Han Li decided not to cause any trouble and continue on his way before the Taiyi Realm Gold Devouring Immortal caught up.

But at this moment, the white jade pendant hanging on his waist suddenly flashed with light and transformed into a house dog-sized White Jade Pixiu, opened its mouth and said to Han Li: "Master, there are treasures hidden in the ancient city below, I have already smelled the aura of treasures!"

"There are treasures, what treasures? Where?" Jin Tong, who was originally sitting listlessly in the back of the carriage, suddenly became energetic after hearing this, and immediately climbed up and asked eagerly.

"Boss… this treasure is hidden somewhere underground in the city. Because there is a special restriction blocking it, I can't find out the specific location, but I don't know what the treasure is. But looking at the special fluctuations it emits, it is obviously not an ordinary thing." Xiao Bai sighed helplessly at first, but at the end, his face was full of excitement.

"You can't find it out because it's blocked by some restrictions, how useless! Try harder, see if it's like the furnace I ate before… that level?" Jin Tong didn't listen to the White Jade Pixiu's words at all, and asked again.

"No matter what it is, we don't have time to touch it now. Once we trigger the restrictions in this city and get trapped or delayed, we won't be able to leave when the Gold Devouring Immortal catches up." Han Li said solemnly.

Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of Xiao Bai and Jin Tong as well, especially Xiao Bai, whose expression was even a little resentful.

"Although there haven't been any major waves during this period, the more it is like this, the more careful we must be. If we have the opportunity in the future, we can come here again to explore treasures, let's forget about it this time." Han Li said with a smile when he saw this.

"It's been so long in the Wildlands, and it's finally an opportunity to show off, but I still can't use it… Master, as long as you let me enter the ancient city, in less than… half an hour, I can determine the specific location of the treasure, and even find a shortcut to seize the treasure, can we try it…" The White Jade Pixiu was still a little reluctant, standing on the edge of the flying chariot, looking at the ancient city ruins below, pleading.

Han Li's eyebrows moved slightly when he heard this.

How could cultivators not like the treasures of the world, especially the treasures that could enter the White Jade Pixiu's eyes and be so eagerly excavated by it? How could he not be tempted, but now is indeed not a good time to excavate treasures.

Just as he was about to speak, Jin Tong's expression suddenly changed, and she shouted: "Uncle, it's not good! Hurry, hurry!"

"Master is not good? Isn't Master doing well?" Pixiu was slightly stunned.

"What's the matter, tell me slowly." Han Li seemed to have a premonition of something, and said so.

"That guy is here again! He has ignited the power of his origin again and is chasing after us, and his speed is much faster than before!" Jin Tong said anxiously.

"You avoid it first." Han Li didn't hesitate at all and made a decisive decision.

Jin Tong nodded, skillfully took out a soul armor talisman and pasted it on, transformed into a golden beetle, and flew into Xiao Bai's belly.

Han Li put away the White Jade Pixiu and the Green Jade Flying Chariot at the same time, electric filaments surged all over his body, and once again transformed into a huge lightning formation, and in a violent roar, teleported away from here.
