Mortal's Journey: Immortal World

Han Li ignored the situation at the gate of the attic and looked inside.

The space on the first floor of the attic was not large. It was filled with rows of simple wooden bookshelves, as many as twenty or thirty. Each bookshelf was densely packed with books, jade slips, and other items, arranged neatly. The titles seemed to be all about cultivation methods and secret techniques.

These books were also covered with a layer of white light, like the restrictions on the attic door.

After a quick scan, Han Li was delighted. This place was indeed as he had guessed, a place similar to a sect's scripture repository.

Having finally traveled back to the Zhenyan Sect, he didn't want to come in vain.

Since arriving in the Immortal World, due to some inexplicable connections with the Zhenyan Sect, he had been investigating the past history of the sect whenever he had time, and the more he investigated, the more astonished he became.

Although the Zhenyan Sect was only located in the Black Soil Immortal Territory, a relatively small immortal territory, its research into the laws of time, especially Mi Luo's understanding of the laws of time, made the entire sect's status in the Immortal World not low.

Now he had spent a full fifty strands of Time Law Crystals to come here. Although the reason was to escape those two Grand Luo Realm cultivators, since he was already here, he should at least gain something, otherwise it would be a huge loss.

Actually, regarding the Law of Time, one of the three supreme laws, he had always cultivated and comprehended it on his own. Although the progress was far faster than others due to the Palm Heaven Bottle and other reasons, it wouldn't be a bad thing to find one or two cultivation insights left by the predecessors of the Zhenyan Sect and carefully study them.

Although the Law of Time is obscure and difficult to understand, it is also the most fundamental and basic law of this interface.

In fact, even an ordinary person, or even an ant, cannot be separated from it throughout their lives. The lifespan of living beings, the birth and death of all things, the changes in mountains and rivers... It exists in all aspects of this interface. Everyone seems to be able to touch time, but cannot actually touch it at all. It is like a flower in a mirror, the moon in the water, seemingly near yet far, illusory and real.

Therefore, every immortal who cultivates the Law of Time, after years of accumulation, whether or not they have achieved anything, if they can write down their own insights, there will always be something to learn from. Perhaps a word or a sentence can help someone to suddenly understand, and that is not impossible.

While Han Li was thinking, he walked quickly through the bookshelves, occasionally stopping to use the white token in his hand to open the restrictions on the bookshelves and check the books on them. He quickly browsed through the books here, but the joy on his face gradually disappeared.

Although the books on these bookshelves were quite exquisite, they were all cultivation methods and secret techniques at the Golden Immortal Realm or even the True Immortal Realm level. Among them, there were occasionally some descriptions or insights on the Law of Time, but they were mostly just general discussions, and didn't even touch the surface of the Law of Time. Naturally, they were of no use to him at present.

"It seems that although this is a scripture repository, it stores low-level cultivation methods. That's right, the truly high-level cultivation methods and secret techniques should be hidden more secretly." he thought to himself, stopped browsing, walked up the stairs to the second floor, and arrived on the second floor.

There were also many bookshelves on the second floor, but fewer than on the first floor, only a dozen. The bookshelves were filled with many books and jade slips.

Time was precious, so Han Li quickly began to browse.

The books here were slightly more advanced than those on the first floor, but not by much. Most of them were still Golden Immortal books, and occasionally there would be one or two at the Taiyi Realm level, which were also of little use to him.

Han Li quickly looked through these books as well, but didn't gain much. He sighed secretly and was about to turn around and leave.

One-tenth or two of the Time Dao patterns on the golden halo above his head had already been extinguished, and every minute was precious.

His footsteps suddenly stopped, and he looked at a bookshelf near the wall beside him.

He hadn't noticed it when he was hurriedly browsing the books on the bookshelf, but the placement of this bookshelf was a bit asymmetrical compared to the other bookshelves. It seemed to have been intentionally moved back by about a foot.

Han Li raised an eyebrow, reached out and pushed the bookshelf back, and swept his divine sense around, revealing a hint of joy on his face.

He reached out and gently patted the wall blocked by the bookshelf. With a crisp "ka" sound, a piece of the wall caved in, revealing a hole the size of a bowl.

Han Li reached his hand in and took out a golden jade box the size of a palm.

His heart stirred, and he was about to open it, but a layer of golden light appeared on the jade box, pushing his palm away, which was actually covered with restrictions.

After being stunned for a moment, Han Li's face showed a look of contemplation, and then golden light emerged from both hands, and he grabbed the jade box again.

Golden light emerged from the jade box again, intertwined with the golden light in Han Li's hands.

Soon, the golden light in the box could not withstand the golden light in Han Li's hands, and was crushed and torn apart.

The jade box was opened with a "pa ta" sound, and inside was a golden jade slip.

Han Li's eyes narrowed, and then he took the jade slip and immersed his divine sense in it.

His eyes lit up immediately. The jade slip recorded a divine ability called "Undying Golden Cloud".

According to the jade slip, this was a defensive divine ability based on the Law of Time.

Moreover, this "Undying Golden Cloud" was not an ordinary defensive divine ability, but the number one protection among the many divine abilities of the Zhenyan Sect, known as impervious to all evils and unbreakable by all laws.

However, the conditions for cultivating this divine ability were extremely harsh. First of all, one's own cultivation of time techniques must be powerful enough, otherwise one would not be able to withstand the powerful power of the "Undying Golden Cloud" at all.

Secondly, one must have a very high understanding of the Law of Time, otherwise one would not be able to comprehend the mysteries of this divine ability.

Finally, the cultivator must have at least three hundred strands of Time Law Crystals in their body to provide enough Time Law power to cast this technique.

Han Li's face showed a wry smile. The first and second conditions were no problem for him.

The Great Five Elements Illusory World Art was the most top-level time technique, and his understanding of the Law of Time was already very deep, so there shouldn't be a big problem, but needing three hundred strands of Time Law Crystals was troublesome.

He only had one hundred and fifty strands of Time Law Crystals in his body now, which was only half of the requirement for the "Undying Golden Cloud". Even without the Bottle Spirit appearing this time and letting him travel through time, it would still be far from enough.

However, he was very content to find such a Time divine ability.

He turned his hand and put away the jade slip and the golden box, and then restored the wall and bookshelf to their original state to avoid being discovered.

After doing this, Han Li didn't stay here any longer and came downstairs, about to open the attic door and go out.

A golden escape light flew from afar and landed in front of the Scripture Repository, revealing the figure of a burly man, also at the mid-stage of the Taiyi Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, your Scripture Repository is still so deserted." The burly man laughed.

Han Li's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly secretly activated the puppet secret technique.

"No one comes here anyway." The white-haired old man looked up at the burly man, did not get up to greet him, and said lightly.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, don't be offended, Chen Mou doesn't mean to laugh at you. The Heavenly Court is pressing harder and harder, and very few disciples have come to my Heavenly Star Palace recently. Although our results may be mediocre after the ten thousand-year watch period, it is always better than those dispatched elders. I heard that many people have already fallen." The burly man did not notice the abnormality of the white-haired old man and said in a low voice.

The two seemed to have a close relationship.

"Well, Fellow Daoist Chen, is there anything you came here for?" Inside the attic, Han Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then manipulated the white-haired old man to echo vaguely, and then asked.

"It's not a big deal. Today, the Ancestral Master is lecturing at Guari Peak. I specially came to invite Fellow Daoist Jiang to go and listen." The burly man laughed.

Hearing this, Han Li's eyes lit up immediately.

Ancestral Master? Could it be referring to Mi Luo? This person also cultivates the Great Five Elements Illusory World Art. Although he may not talk about the Great Five Elements Illusory World Art when lecturing, the insights he speaks of must be closely related to the Great Five Elements Illusory World Art and cannot be missed.

At the thought of this, he was excited in his heart, but the technique of manipulating the white-haired old man was not disturbed.

"Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Chen, but I have some things to do right now, so I may go later." The white-haired old man said.

"In that case, then Chen Mou will go first. Fellow Daoist Jiang, please come over quickly after you finish your affairs. Although our Ancestral Master cultivates different techniques, it is difficult to understand the essence of his lectures, it is still good to listen more." The burly man was stunned, and then nodded.

Then he said goodbye and left, turning into a golden light and shooting towards a distant direction, and soon disappeared into the sky.

The attic door opened with a "creak", and Han Li walked out from inside, raised his hand and beckoned, and the white-haired old man got up and walked into the Scripture Repository.

Then he flicked his finger, and a ray of crystal light hit the center of the white-haired old man's brow.

The person's body trembled violently and fell to the ground with a plop, falling into a coma.

Han Li smiled slightly, threw the white token in his hand beside the old man, and waved his hand to close the door.

He had just used a secret technique to shake the white-haired old man's soul, causing him to fall into a coma. He would have to sleep for at least four or five days, which would not affect his next actions.

After doing this, Han Li immediately flew in the direction of the burly man, and soon came near a towering cyan peak. The mountain was covered with green trees and strange rocks, which looked quite strange.

"This..." He looked at the giant peak in front of him, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

He was no stranger to this mountain peak. Strictly speaking, he had seen it three times. The first time was when he first activated the Palm Heaven Bottle to see Mi Luo lecturing, and the location was right on the peak of the giant peak.

The second time was when he went to the Zhenyan Sect ruins before, he had been to this mountain.

Unexpectedly, today, he came again.

The towering cyan giant peak pierced into the clouds, and the top of the peak could not be seen. A long stone staircase extended down from the top of the peak, all the way to the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, the stone steps were filled with Zhenyan Sect disciples, all listening attentively.

At this moment, the lecture had already begun. Waves of grand sounds came from the top of the peak. It was the voice of Mi Luo, every word was like a jewel, and every word gave people a mysterious and unpredictable feeling.

The surrounding heaven and earth vitality trembled with Mi Luo's voice. At this moment, streams of light flew in the sky, sometimes turning into endless violent winds, sometimes turning into blazing fire rain, and then turning into ice storms, changing endlessly.

Han Li looked at the sky, and his eyebrows moved again. He vaguely felt that the scene in front of him was a bit familiar, but he shook his head, and quietly flew towards the top of the mountain.

However, he did not fly to the top of the mountain, but found a place to sit down halfway up the mountain, so as not to be discovered by Mi Luo if he got too close.

From here, he could vaguely see the scene at the top of the peak. Mi Luo sat in the middle, and Qi Mozi, Mu Yan and other five disciples were around him.

Beside Mu Yan, there was also a plump rat with shiny fur, standing upright on its hind legs, looking at Mi Luo.
