Chapter 1076 Tales of the Divine Lamp

"Sky Fox Blood Transformation Saber! How can this saber be in your hands? Who are you?" The middle-aged man looked at the black-clad youth and questioned coldly.

The black-clad youth smiled upon hearing this, chanting something under his breath. A crimson light emerged from his face, flowing downwards.

His figure and appearance changed accordingly, transforming into a slender youth with flowing silver hair.

Han Li's expression faltered. This person was none other than Hu San, whom he had parted ways with in the Gray World that day.

Now that he had changed his appearance, he wondered if the other party had gleaned anything from the cultivation technique he had used.

"Junior, a ninth-generation disciple of the Sky Fox Clan, Liu Sanxing, greets Senior!" Hu San respectfully bowed to the middle-aged man in the green robe and said.

"A Sky Fox Clan disciple… I didn't expect to meet a fellow clansman here. In that case, was this Sky Fox Blood Transformation Saber bestowed upon you by that person?" The middle-aged man in the green robe, upon seeing Hu San's true appearance and hearing his words, softened his expression somewhat, but still spoke coldly.

"Yes, and no," Hu San said respectfully.

"Hmph! I have no interest in exchanging pleasantries with you here. Since you have chosen to side with him, what are you doing here? Do you think that with the slight connection of kinship, I won't kill you? Or do you think that with the Sky Fox Blood Transformation Saber in hand, you can contend against me?" A cold light flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man in the green robe, with a hint of murderous intent.

"How dare I, Senior. Your Illusion Laws have been cultivated to a near-perfect state. With my strength, even if I had three or five more Sky Fox Blood Transformation Sabers, I would still be no match for you. I have come here because the outside world has recently undergone drastic changes, and my clan has been drawn into it. Therefore, I have come specifically to ask Senior to come out of the mountains and help my clan through this great calamity," Hu San said earnestly, without showing any fear.

"I already said when I left that I would no longer concern myself with the affairs of the Sky Fox Clan. Considering that your cultivation is not weak and you are somewhat talented, I will not make things difficult for you. Leave here immediately," the middle-aged man in the green robe said coldly.

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.

Lichi Ma, who was fiercely fighting the black-clad woman in the distance, immediately stopped his attack, and the several wind dragons circling around him disappeared without a trace.

"The Reincarnation Laws are indeed extraordinary. It's a pity that today's opportunity is not right, and I cannot go all out. We will have a great battle another day!" Lichi Ma glanced at the black-clad woman with burning eyes and let out a long neigh.

Then, white light flashed around him, and with a whoosh, he disappeared. The next moment, he was already beside the middle-aged man in the green robe, his speed unbelievably fast.

Han Li's expression remained unchanged upon seeing this, but his heart stirred slightly again.

The black-clad woman, seeing Lichi Ma stop, did not pursue him. She calmly made a hand seal and waved.

The dark red wheel behind her spun rapidly, then collapsed and disappeared with a boom, turning into hundreds of dark red Law crystalline threads that merged into her body.

The woman then swayed and disappeared, flying to Hu San's side.

The middle-aged man in the green robe glanced at the black-clad woman, but said nothing. He floated onto Lichi Ma and was about to leave.

"Senior, are you going to stand idly by even when my clan is facing a great disaster?" Hu San asked anxiously, taking a few steps forward.

"I have already said that the Sky Fox Clan has nothing to do with me anymore. Handle your own affairs yourself," the middle-aged man in the green robe said coldly after a moment of silence, his figure stiffening. Then, he urged Lichi Ma forward.

Hu San was extremely anxious, but he had already said everything he could, and had no better plan to persuade the middle-aged man in the green robe.

"Wait a moment!" Just then, a flash of blood light appeared on the Sky Fox Blood Transformation Saber in Hu San's hand, and a figure emerged, it was the saber spirit Shi Qinghou.

"It's you! I didn't expect you to still be alive. No wonder the Sky Fox Blood Transformation Saber's power has not diminished. So you also sided with that person!" The middle-aged man in the green robe's expression turned even colder upon seeing Shi Qinghou, even revealing a look of disgust, and he did not stop.

"The Master has not died, he may still be alive," Shi Qinghou said suddenly, looking at the back of the middle-aged man in the green robe.

The middle-aged man in the green robe suddenly stopped, turned around like lightning, glared at Shi Qinghou, and said, "The Master is still alive? Are you telling the truth? No, that's impossible. I saw the Master fall with my own eyes!"

"How powerful was the Master, how could he die so easily? Perhaps what you and I saw back then was not the true state of affairs. I only recently discovered some clues, and after investigating all the way, I found some clues, otherwise, why would I have submitted to him?" Shi Qinghou said proudly.

"I see. So you came to me this time for…" The middle-aged man in the green robe nodded slowly, and after a moment of silence, asked again.

However, he stopped halfway through his words, glancing at Han Li and the black-clad woman.

"Exactly. This matter concerns whether the Master can be resurrected, so we have come specifically to ask for your help," Shi Qinghou said.

"Since it concerns the Master, I will naturally not shirk my responsibility. However, I am now imprisoned in this place, and my Natal Soul Tablet is still in the seventh floor, so even if I want to leave with you, I can't," the middle-aged man in the green robe said immediately, his attitude changing drastically.

"Don't worry, since we have come, we have naturally made thorough preparations. I will help you retrieve that Natal Soul Tablet," Shi Qinghou said with a joyful expression, immediately guaranteeing.

"Then I will have to trouble you. The Space Gate leading to the sixth floor is just ahead. I don't know who the prisoners imprisoned on the sixth floor are. However, the higher you go, the more powerful the prisoners imprisoned. You need to be more careful," the middle-aged man in the green robe nodded, then reminded.

"With Hu San and the Young Sect Master here, plus Fellow Daoist Han, no one can stop us. Fellow Daoist Han, isn't that right?" Shi Qinghou suddenly turned to look at Han Li, smiling.

Han Li raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"What! You are Fellow Daoist Han?" Hu San looked at Han Li in surprise, exclaiming.

The black-clad woman, however, had a calm expression, as if she already knew Han Li's identity.

"Oh, so this person is also one of your group? It seems that the Sky Fox Clan has made some progress in recent years, making friends with many talents," the middle-aged man in the green robe glanced at Han Li, then swept over the black-clad woman, saying indifferently.

"These people were all befriended by Hu San and have little to do with those stubborn old men of the Sky Fox Clan," Shi Qinghou said.

The middle-aged man in the green robe revealed a look of surprise and began to re-examine Hu San.

"Senior Shi, Fellow Daoist Hu San, and Fellow Daoist Jiao San, it's been many years since we last met." Han Li flew forward, his eyes sweeping over Shi Qinghou and Hu San, and finally landing on the black-clad woman.

"Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide it from Brother Han." The black-clad woman made a hand seal, and red light flashed on her body, restoring her original appearance, which was Jiao San.

"You really are Fellow Daoist Han?" Hu San looked at Han Li, still with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

It was no wonder, when they parted ways in the Gray World, Han Li was only at the Golden Immortal Peak Realm. Now, only a little over a thousand years had passed, and he had transformed into a Taiyi Peak existence, which was truly unbelievable.

"Seeing that the three of you already know my real name, I was being hunted by the Heavenly Court back then. To avoid trouble, I had no choice but to change my name to Li. Please don't blame me," Han Li said with an apologetic smile, making a hand seal, and red light flashed on his body, restoring his original appearance.

"It really is Fellow Daoist Han! I didn't expect your cultivation to advance so quickly, it's simply unbelievable! When the Gray World changed drastically back then, you and Shi Chuankong were captured and taken away. I was worried about you for a long time. Seeing that you are safe and sound, I am relieved. By the way, how is Brother Shi now?" Hu San greeted him with great joy, asking a barrage of questions.

"Back then, it was a great power of the Demon Realm who summoned me and Brother Shi back to the Demon Realm from afar. Brother Shi is doing well now, Fellow Daoist Hu San, please rest assured," Han Li said with a smile.

"That's good," Hu San breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you want to reminisce, it's not too late to do so after leaving this Time Tower. The important thing is the task at hand," Shi Qinghou took two steps forward and said.

"Senior Shi is right," Hu San said immediately, seemingly very respectful to Shi Qinghou.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you and I became friends in the Gray World back then. Now we meet again here, it is also fate. How about we join hands and act together?" Shi Qinghou turned to Han Li, inviting.

"To my shame, I entered this Immortal Abode by pure chance and know nothing about this place. However, from what I just heard from the three of you, it seems that you know a lot about this Grand Empyrean Abode. Please enlighten me," Han Li said after a moment of silence, looking up, not responding to Shi Qinghou's question, but asking instead.

"Of course, this Grand Empyrean Abode is a mansion left behind by a Grand Empyrean existence named Grand Empyrean Immortal Venerable. This person cultivates the Time Laws like Brother Han, and was once the Lord of the Heavenly Court's Immortal Prison. Later, for some unknown reason, this Grand Empyrean Immortal Venerable suddenly betrayed the Heavenly Court and fled, and when he fled, he took away many prisoners from the Immortal Prison and also plundered several treasures of the Heavenly Court, especially a Time God Lantern, which is said to be a treasure of the Time Laws. Now this lamp is probably on the seventh floor. The Heavenly Court has been chasing this person for many years, but no one would have thought that the Grand Empyrean Immortal Venerable was hiding in the Golden Source Immortal Territory, which is very close to the Central Earth Immortal Territory, and secretly built such an Immortal Abode," Shi Qinghou knew that Han Li wanted to find out the situation before deciding, chuckled lightly, and talked eloquently.

"Time God Lantern!" Han Li's heart stirred.

Ever since he entered this Time Tower, he had been vaguely feeling a powerful Time Laws force transmitted from above, which was also the driving force for him to keep moving forward. Now it seemed that the Time Laws force should be the Time God Lantern that Shi Qinghou mentioned, wondering what kind of treasure it was.

"In that case, this Immortal Abode is extremely secretive. How did you all know about this place?" Han Li then thought of something and asked.

"This matter should be asked to Fellow Daoist Jiao San. Hu San and I also came here with her," Shi Qinghou said.

Han Li was surprised when he heard this and looked at Jiao San.

"This matter involves the secrets of the Samsara Hall. Although Brother Han is the Son of Samsara, you still do not have the authority to know," Jiao San's beautiful eyes flashed, shaking her head.

Han Li did not pursue the matter further, but his eyes flickered, and he fell into contemplation.
