Da Jin Yuan Immortal Territory, Nine Yuan Temple.

A range of undulating mountains, like a crouching dragon with its spine towering high, stands out with majestic peaks rising one after another.

Among these hundreds of peaks of varying shapes and different auras, there is a solitary peak that is not too high but particularly beautiful, hidden in the smoke and clouds, revealing a little verdant mountain body, like a pipa covering its face, leaving people with endless imagination.

On this solitary peak, in front, behind, and to the right, there are three snow-white waterfalls falling from the sky, plunging straight down three thousand feet, like the Milky Way falling from the ninth heaven, splashing water droplets like handfuls of pearls, reflecting three colorful rainbows in the high sky, extremely gorgeous.

The sounds of monkeys echoing between the mountains rise and fall one after another. In the high sky, immortal cranes can be seen flying together from time to time. The air is filled with strands of flowing light and colorful clouds, which are manifestations of extremely abundant Heaven and Earth vitality.

On the top of the peak, there is a ring-shaped viewing platform protruding from the mountain, on which stands a middle-aged Taoist wearing a dark green Taoist robe and a lotus crown.

He is tall and upright, with a dignified appearance. He has a square face that is quite regular, and his facial features are not particularly outstanding, but his face is radiant, with a faint jade-like luster shrouded around him, making people feel that he should be a celestial being at first glance.

At this moment, the man is leaning on the railing, looking at the magnificent immortal scene in front of him, but it cannot make him show a smile. His brows are slightly furrowed, as if some hidden worries linger in his heart.

At this moment, from the peak square behind him, an old man in a green robe walked over. He was thin, with a clear and refined face, and a long white beard under his jaw, looking quite immortal.

"Disciple Qing Xu greets Uncle-Master Chun Jun." The old man came behind the middle-aged man, bowed respectfully, and said.

The middle-aged Taoist called "Uncle-Master Chun Jun" is known as "Real Person Chun Jun" in the Immortal Territory. He is the closed disciple of the founding ancestor of the Nine Yuan Temple, has a very high seniority in the sect, and is very famous in the Immortal Territory.

Most importantly, he is now in the late stage of Da Luo cultivation and temporarily holds the position of Abbot of the Nine Yuan Temple.

"You're back. How is the investigation of that matter?" Real Person Chun Jun asked.

"Reporting to Uncle-Master, the Palm Heaven Bottle has indeed reappeared in the Immortal Territory, and it is currently in the hands of a man named Han Li," the old man named Qing Xu said.

"Han Li?" Real Person Chun Jun raised his eyebrows and asked.

"This person is ostensibly from the Northern Cold Immortal Territory and once stayed in the Candle Dragon Path for a long time, but he seems to be a lower realm cultivator who ascended from the lost Little Southern Continent Realm Cluster," Qing Xu said.

"Oh, to be able to ascend from a lost world, he must be extraordinary. Is there any record of reception at the Ascension Platform?" Real Person Chun Jun asked.

"Yes, there is... The person who received him at the time was a Shi Ji Hall cultivator named Gao Sheng, but this person seemed to deliberately conceal a lot of information in order to win him over to their sect, resulting in vague records. What's even stranger is that this person did not enter the Shi Ji Hall later, but disappeared on the way to the Shi Ji Hall," Qing Xu said.

"Oh, what happened?" Real Person Chun Jun asked in confusion.

"What exactly happened is now impossible to verify, but it is only known that this person disappeared for three hundred years after that. When he entered the Heavenly Court's sight again, it was already at the time of the destruction of the Candle Dragon Path. Since then, this person has traveled to many Immortal Territories and had many conflicts with the Heavenly Court, but he has managed to escape by chance. The most recent trouble he caused was when he attacked the Little Jin Yuan Immortal Palace and beheaded Dongfang Bai, the Lord of the Palace," Qing Xu said.

"What is his cultivation level?" Real Person Chun Jun frowned and asked.

"Peak of Taiyi," Qing Xu said.

"A mere Taiyi cultivator can actually kill his way into an Immortal Palace in one territory. Such strength and courage are definitely not ordinary. So, She Chan and his like also died at his hands?" Real Person Chun Jun asked.

"After Junior Sister Lan Yan returned earlier, she reported to the sect that She Chan did indeed die at his hands. Later, Junior Sister Miao Fa personally took action, but was disturbed by Chi Meng, and as a result, this person still escaped. Since then, we have lost track of him again, and we don't know where he is at the moment," Qing Xu continued.

"This matter is related to the Palm Heaven Bottle, so we must pay attention to it. Once it can be retrieved, the significance to our Nine Yuan Temple will be extraordinary," Real Person Chun Jun frowned and said.

"Currently, Junior Sister Miao Fa has gone out to pursue him and has not yet returned. One-third of the Shadow Guards of the entire Nine Yuan Temple have been arranged to do this matter. Once this person shows any traces again, he will definitely not escape our sight," Qing Xu said.

"Now the chaos in the Immortal World is gradually rising. The several Immortal Territories under our jurisdiction have not been peaceful recently. Among them, the Heavenly Star Immortal Territory and the Same Boat Immortal Territory are the most troublesome. The two Senior Brothers, as Deputy Abbots, have had to go to deal with them. Among the Four Great Holy Envoys, Miao Fa is not here, so only the three of you are still in the temple. Half of the Eight Great Venerables are also in other Immortal Territories. We must be prepared to prevent chaos in the Immortal Territories and, even more so, not disturb the seclusion of the several Old Ancestors," Real Person Chun Jun sighed and said.

"Abbot Uncle-Master, please rest assured. Our Jin Yuan Immortal Territory has always been heavily guarded and as solid as a rock. How dare thieves come to invade?" Qing Xu said.

"By the way, how is that Gold Devouring Boy?" Real Person Chun Jun asked.

"At first, he was very lively and full of energy. Now he is much more honest. He eats and drinks in the temple, and except for not being able to walk around at will, he has already regarded himself as one of us," Qing Xu said, a slight smile appearing on his lips as he thought of Jin Tong.

"Last time, Master, the old man, used a secret method to investigate her, saying that her origins are quite deep. It seems that he values her quite a bit, so we must guard against the Old Ancestor not sending her to the Bodhi Banquet as a gift. You should arrange a few more presentable gifts to prepare," Real Person Chun Jun said.

"Yes," Qing Xu bowed and said.

……

Barren Wasteland Domain.

Above a mountain range shrouded in dense fog, streaks of five-colored thunder kept exploding, and the roaring sounds echoed between heaven and earth.

The vast sea of clouds high in the sky was stirred by an incomparably powerful force, turning into a huge cloud and mist tornado that fell from the sky, connecting with the fog on the mountain and directly pouring into one of the peaks.

In a newly opened cave at the foot of the mountain, a delicate child with a golden vertical stripe between his eyebrows and red lips and white teeth, and a silver-flamed firebird were both shocked, watching the strands of somewhat mottled but incomparably thick Heaven and Earth vitality gather from all directions and directly pour into a silver light gate in front of them.

This white-clothed child is naturally Pi Xiu Xiao Bai, and the silver-flamed firebird is naturally the Jing Yan Firebird.

"This is..." Xiao Bai was extremely surprised and looked at the silver-flamed firebird.

The latter could not speak, but directly transformed into the appearance of a silver-flamed little man and nodded frequently at the white-clothed child.

"It's only been twenty years, and he's about to break through to the Da Luo Realm. That's too amazing..." Xiao Bai immediately showed a bright smile on his face and clapped his hands.

The surging Heaven and Earth vitality was too rapid. When passing through the silver light gate, it was like a dragon passing through a border, making a huge sound like a dragon's roar. The fluctuations emitted from it forced Xiao Bai and the other to retreat a lot.

At the same time, the Flower Branch Space was also undergoing drastic changes. The Heaven and Earth vitality that poured in wildly was tantamount to a storm attack for such a small cave heaven, and it was also a test.

The bamboo forest in the space trembled "rustling", and light lit up on the roots of the spirit bamboos, frantically absorbing the Heaven and Earth vitality that filled the space, and constantly dispersed the Heaven and Earth vitality to various parts of the Flower Branch Space through its own roots.

The newly built bamboo building radiated a green light on its surface, and it actually seemed to be alive, growing three feet taller.

In the spirit medicine garden in front of it, various spirit medicines were like receiving a special sweet rain irrigation. Many spirit seeds that had not sprouted for a long time broke ground, many spirit medicines that had not yet bloomed blossomed, and many spirit fruits tended to mature.

Even the Two-Life Tree, which had been growing slowly, was growing taller at this time, tending to become timber.

Even the pond in front of the original bamboo building in the space, which was planted with golden lotuses, was violently undulating as if it were boiling, and large bubbles emerged on the surface, steaming out a misty aura.

In the mist, golden lotus flowers bloomed in competition, and in an instant, seventy-seven forty-nine flowers bloomed, covering the pond.

The many changes in the Flower Branch Space only carried the many scattered Heaven and Earth vitality that flowed in, and the real majority of Heaven and Earth vitality poured into the shaky but never collapsing bamboo building.

The entire bamboo building was now surrounded by a fluorescent light, and set off by the mist of the pond, it looked even more like a paradise for immortals.

Inside the bamboo building, Han Li, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, was surrounded by a five-colored light. His whole body was like jade, and the golden meridians in his body were clearly visible. The Sea of Consciousness Soul also had golden light condensing, and the Nascent Soul villain sat cross-legged in the dantian, with a layer of time law fluctuation aura shrouded around him.

The Heaven and Earth vitality that came from outside the building condensed in his body and turned into his power.

For Xiao Bai outside the space, Han Li had only been in seclusion for twenty years, but for Han Li in this space, with the blessing of the Light Yin Tian Xuan Great Array, he had spent a full two thousand years.

These two thousand years of tireless cultivation finally allowed the five time law tangible objects to reach the realm of fusion and balance. Breaking into the Da Luo realm was at this moment!

Han Li's tightly locked brows suddenly relaxed, and his eyes suddenly opened.

In the next moment, two golden lights like substance suddenly burst out from his pupils, and the Heaven and Earth vitality gathered around him suddenly retracted, all submerging into his body.

His whole body aura had not yet fully converged, and the immortal apertures all over his body were shining with light. His clothes were constantly surging with the constantly released momentum, making a "whirring" sound.

In the void above the bamboo building, the sky suddenly brightened, and a faint river of virtual light suddenly appeared in it.

Han Li slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and only felt that his Sea of Consciousness was incomparably clear, and the flow of spiritual power between the surrounding heaven and earth became more agile at this moment.

Even the state of every detailed and subtle space outside the main building seemed to be completely captured by him.
