“Regarding this Grand Prime Immortal Abode, this is all I know. You already know the purpose of Hu San and I coming here. What does Fellow Daoist Han think of the alliance Shi mentioned just now?” Shi Qinghou waited for a moment, seeing that Han Li had not spoken, and asked.

“Alright. Han can agree to join forces with the two of you, and even help you seize that Vital Soul Tablet later. However, if I encounter any difficulties later and need help from others, I hope the two of you will not refuse.” Han Li’s mind raced, and he said slowly.

“Deal!” Hu San and Shi Qinghou were overjoyed when they heard this and said immediately.

Jiao San saw this scene, a thoughtful look flashed in her beautiful eyes, but she did not speak.

“If that’s the case, let’s set off now.” Shi Qinghou said, glancing at the blue-robed middle-aged man beside him.

“Follow me. Don’t look around on the way, and don’t touch anything casually. Don’t ask me any questions either.”

After the blue-robed middle-aged man said indifferently, he took the lead to urge the Lichima under him to fly forward. Lan Yan and the others who were controlled followed closely behind, like walking corpses.

Han Li and the other three also followed.

As a result, this walk lasted for a whole day and night.

This middle-aged man took Han Li away from the gourd-shaped mountain and soon left the Gobi Desert, then passed a large swamp, followed by a vast stretch of rolling hills…

Along the way, Han Li found that he could occasionally see some strange things, such as an ice sculpture hundreds of feet high standing in the Gobi Desert. Even passing by from a distance, he could feel a trace of icy aura. In the swamp, huge whirlpools were constantly spinning, and bubbles were constantly emerging. From the bottom of the hills, muffled roars were heard from time to time, as if someone was constantly hammering something. Even when passing through a giant wood forest, he found blood-colored chains connecting nearly a thousand trees, forming a strange shape.

Due to the middle-aged man’s previous instructions, and because he seemed to have no intention of speaking at all, everyone was silently hurrying on the road with their own thoughts. Han Li did not find an opportunity to inquire, so he had to give up.

After a series of twists and turns, the group finally arrived at another black hall located on a grassland.

The hall here was larger, but the light was very dim, so braziers were lit in various places inside to illuminate the space.

Here, one could see a dark red light gate standing deep in the black hall, flashing with bursts of dark red light.

“This is the space gate leading to the sixth level. You may go.” The blue-robed middle-aged man said and turned to leave.

“Senior, I don’t know what dangers there are on the sixth and seventh levels. Although we are quite strong, it may not be easy to pass through. I wonder if Senior can let go of my companions? With them going together, we can save some effort.” Hu San suddenly stopped the blue-robed middle-aged man, then glanced at Lan Yan and the others and said.

“These people are not weak and have some use. You don't lack these few Illusion Slaves, do you?” Shi Qinghou also said.

“Very well.” The blue-robed middle-aged man frowned slightly, then relaxed, and made a hand gesture.

Seven gray-white rays of light shot out from his hand and entered the bodies of Lan Yan and the others respectively.

Large swaths of gray-white light immediately appeared on Lan Yan and the others, and then gray-white crystal threads flew out of their bodies and merged into the blue-robed middle-aged man's body.

Han Li's pupils shrank as he looked at the gray-white crystal threads.

“Boy, if you encounter my Vital Soul Tablet when you go to the seventh level, remember to take it away as well. I will reward you handsomely then.” At this moment, a very weak voice suddenly appeared in Han Li’s mind, it was Lichima.

His heart moved, and he looked towards Lichima.

The horse was obediently carrying the blue-robed middle-aged man, not looking sideways.

“Let's go.” The blue-robed middle-aged man said indifferently after doing this.

With a movement of Lichima’s four hooves, a white light flashed, and the figures of the two disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace of aura, as if they had never appeared.

With the crystal threads leaving the body, the gray-white light in the eyes of Lan Yan and the others quickly began to fade.

Seeing this, Han Li made a hand gesture, and a red light flashed on his body, transforming back into his previous appearance.

Hu San and Jiao San also made a hand gesture and restored their previous appearances. At the same time, Hu San put away the Heavenly Fox Blood Transformation Blade in his hand.

Just as the three had finished tidying up, the gray-white light in the eyes of Lan Yan, Lei Yuce, and the others all dissipated, and their eyes regained clarity.

“Where is this? I remember being invaded by the gray-white crystal threads transformed from treasures…” Lei Yuce, Su Anxi, and the other four looked at their surroundings and said with some panic.

Seeing this scene, Han Li thought to himself that those controlled by the gray-white crystal threads would not retain any memories.

Lan Yan and the others were the same, quite panicked, only remembering the memories before being controlled by the blue-robed middle-aged man.

“Everyone, don’t worry, the enemy has left, we are safe now.” Hu San said slowly.

“Do you know what happened?” Lei Yuce looked over.

“I know a little, Senior Lei, it’s like this…” Hu San coughed lightly, fabricating the previous experience, saying that Han Li had displayed great power, repelled the enemy, and rescued everyone.

Hu San was already good at talking, and his ability to fabricate stories was even more outstanding, considering all aspects very comprehensively, without leaving any loopholes.

Han Li smiled bitterly when he heard this, but he did not say anything.

“In that case, Fellow Daoist Shi has saved us once again. I am extremely grateful. When we leave this Grand Prime Immortal Abode, Fellow Daoist Shi must come to my Tianshui Sect as a guest and let us entertain you, to express our gratitude.” Su Anxi said gratefully.

Xiong Shan, Lan Yan, and Lan Yuanzi also thanked Han Li, but the gazes of the Lan siblings towards Han Li contained more fear and wariness.

In addition, Lei Yuce, Jin Liu, and Wen Zhong all looked somewhat dejected.

They had spent a lot of effort to break the restrictions before, but in the end, they had gained nothing, especially Jin Liu, whose insect nest had also been taken away by Han Li. Now, he had been rescued by Han Li in a muddle-headed manner, how could he not be depressed?

“You are all too polite. Although the enemy was temporarily frightened away by me, he may return at any time. This is not a place to stay for long. We should leave quickly and enter the sixth level.” Han Li waved his hand and said.

“That’s right, time is of the essence.” Su Anxi nodded and said.

Lei Yuce and the others also勉强 [miǎn qiáng - reluctantly] cheered up and immediately began to break the restrictions on the space gate.

The restrictions on each space gate were basically the same, and everyone was already familiar with them. Soon, they broke the restrictions on the light gate in front of them and entered one after another.

Han Li only felt a blur before his eyes, and his figure passed through the light gate and arrived at a vast golden desert.

He looked into the distance, gazing at the surroundings, but all he could see was endless yellow sand, and the air was filled with a dry smell.

At this moment, the light beside him flashed continuously, and the figures of Jiao San and the others also appeared one by one.

As soon as these people appeared, they naturally divided into two teams without saying a word.

Among them, Hu San and Jiao San naturally approached Han Li, while the two from Tianshui Sect approached Lei Yuce and Wen Zhong, and the Lan Yuanzi siblings also followed behind them.

What was strange was that Xiong Shan stood on Han Li's side for some reason.

After everyone stood still, they looked around at the scenery.

After looking for a moment, their gazes flickered slightly, and a strange look appeared on their faces.

Jiao San lowered her head, grabbed a handful of fine sand from the ground, rubbed it gently, and frowned slightly: “It’s gold sand…”

“It’s not gold sand, it’s a large amount of demon beast bone powder.” Han Li shook his head and said.

“How is that possible?” Jiao San said in disbelief.

“It is indeed bone powder.” Lei Yuce suddenly said.

With that, he raised his hand and pointed to a crescent-shaped object that protruded high above the horizon, tens of miles away.

Everyone followed the trace and flew close to it, only to find that it was a section of a curved horn from the remains of some kind of huge alien beast, which was golden in color and covered with mottled traces of wind and sand corrosion.

Jiao San frowned and wanted to step forward and pinch the curved horn.

As a result, as soon as she touched the curved horn, she heard a soft “poof” sound.

Then, the section of the golden curved horn that protruded high cracked in response and turned into a cloud of golden sand, dissipating, and the gold sand on the ground was indeed bone powder.

“This vast desert, which direction should we go?” Hu San asked helplessly.

With that, his gaze rose from the distance and finally looked towards the sky above his head, where a pale round sun hung, but it looked like it was drawn on white paper, without any heat transmitted from it.

Just as Lei Yuce was about to speak, he heard Han Li suddenly pointing in a direction in front of him and saying, “Over there…”

When everyone heard this, they looked in the direction he was pointing, but all they saw was a vast sea of sand, with nothing at all.

After entering this sixth level space, everyone’s divine sense was suppressed more and more obviously. Beyond a hundred miles, they could not detect anything at all.

“What’s there?” Su Anxi also asked strangely.

“I can’t say, my divine sense is suppressed severely, I can only vaguely feel a special aura… In short, let’s go over and take a look first.” Han Li said after pondering for a moment.

Hearing this, Jiao San exchanged glances with Hu San, both of whom seemed somewhat hesitant.

“Fellow Daoist Shi, it has not been easy to come here all the way, you should be well aware of how many people have died along the way, I think it’s best not to act rashly, wouldn’t it be better for us to discuss it carefully and find a more secure path?” Lei Yuce hesitated and said.

“Yes, this tower becomes more dangerous as you go up, even if you are skilled and bold, you can’t be careless.” Before Su Anxi could speak, Jin Liu took the lead to echo.

Su Anxi opened her mouth as if wanting to say something, but hesitated for a moment and ultimately said nothing.

“Thank you both for your kindness, in fact, it doesn’t matter where you all want to go. Now that we have reached the sixth level, everyone has their own considerations, I will act alone.” Han Li cupped his fists slightly, smiled and said.

With that, he was about to leave first.

“Fellow Daoist Shi, I will go with you.” Xiong Shan on the side showed a bit of a smile and said.

Hearing this, Han Li frowned slightly, without agreeing or refusing, his escaping light rose and he flew towards that direction, while Xiong Shan followed without the slightest hesitation.

“Let’s go take a look with Fellow Daoist Shi too.”

After thinking for a moment, Jiao San called out, and then combined with Hu San’s escaping light, also chasing after Han Li.

(Wang Yu had something to deal with during the day, so there is only one update tonight.)
