Han Li did not linger here. He glanced back at the thunderous domain and then turned to fly in another direction.

Just then, his brow twitched, and he stopped his escape, making hand seals.

As a crimson light flickered across his face, the Reincarnation Temple mask appeared, and then a light curtain emerged in the void before him.

He fixed his gaze on it, a look of great joy on his face, as his task of seeking time-law objects had received a response.

Han Li hurriedly made hand seals to open the task, but he suddenly froze.

A slender figure emerged from the rolling crimson light in the void before him, wearing a scarlet mask, familiar beyond compare, it was Jiao San.

"Fellow Daoist Jiao San, what is it you? Do you have materials containing the power of time law in your possession?" Han Li asked, his eyes flashing.

"Fellow Daoist Han, it has been many days. Since I have taken on your task, I naturally would not deceive you." Jiao San seemed not to notice the suspicion in Han Li's eyes as she chuckled softly and then took out a half-foot-long section of cyan ancient wood.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jiao San. This material is precisely what I urgently need. I wonder how many Immortal Essence Stones Fellow Daoist Jiao San desires?" Han Li took a deep breath and asked.

The object held by Jiao San was exactly the same as the ancient wood that Mi Luo Old Ancestor had intended to give him but failed to obtain. It was clearly the same material.

Of the five time-law embodiments in his body, only the time-law crystal threads on the Eastern Azure Divine Wood were missing, and the cyan ancient wood in Jiao San's hand was perfect.

As Han Li's heart pounded, he was also secretly puzzled. His reward task had a very vague description of the time-law objects required, without specifying what kind of time-law power it should be, yet Jiao San had immediately produced the material he needed.

However, he couldn't afford to dwell on these trivial matters at this time.

"Fellow Daoist Han, I have not yet thanked you for your help in the Grand Sui Immortal Abode. A mere material is nothing to speak of. If Fellow Daoist Han needs it, just take it." Jiao San said lightly and then made a hand seal.

A green light flashed in the item transfer formation on Han Li's transaction interface, and the ancient wood emerged out of thin air.

He looked at the ancient wood before him, paused, and did not immediately take it.

"The matter of the Grand Sui Immortal Abode was settled by us within. Such an important treasure, Han can't simply take it for nothing. Please, Fellow Daoist Jiao San, name a price, or we can trade for it." Han Li shook his head and said.

"Since Fellow Daoist Han insists, then I will make a condition. After the Nine Elements Sect mission begins, Fellow Daoist Han will do one thing for me, and that will be considered compensation for this material. How about that?" Jiao San laughed.

"I wonder what that matter is? Please, Fellow Daoist Jiao San, be specific?" Han Li was startled, remained silent for a moment, and then cupped his fist.

"Fellow Daoist Han need not worry, it is not a difficult matter, nor will it put you in danger, but it is not convenient for me to tell you the details now," Jiao San shook her head and said.

"If that is the case, then very well. By the way, when will the Reincarnation Temple's mission targeting the Nine Elements Sect begin?" Han Li thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, put away the ancient wood, and then asked.

"There have been some twists and turns in this matter, and it may be delayed for a while, but it shouldn't be too long, at most a century," Jiao San said.

Upon hearing these words, Han Li felt a slight relief in his heart.

If it was within a century, then Xiao Bai should still be able to make it in time.

"Fellow Daoist Han, I do not know where you are now, but the Great Gold Origin Immortal Domain is in turmoil. It would be best if you did not go there now. Find a place to cultivate in seclusion, and when the time comes, I will naturally notify you." A look of solemnity appeared in Jiao San's eyes as she exhorted.

Han Li only nodded noncommittally upon hearing this.

The two chatted for a few more words and then ended the transmission.

Han Li took out the ancient wood and examined it, his eyes full of joy.

With this ancient wood, the five time-law powers in his body would be balanced, and advancing to the Grand Luo Realm would be a sure thing, but this seclusion would create quite a stir, so he had to find a safe place to break through.

Han Li put away the ancient wood, pondered for a moment, and turned to fly deep into the Wild Wastelands Domain.

Although there were many fierce beasts in the Wild Wastelands Domain, it was much safer than the Great Gold Origin Immortal Domain, and Jiao San had also told him not to enter the Great Gold Origin Immortal Domain now.

Han Li had just come from the Eight Desolations Mountain, and was very familiar with the situation in the Wild Wastelands Domain. He soon found a safe place in the depths of the Wild Wastelands Domain.

This was a continuous range of mountains. Because there was plenty of water in this place, and abundant earth fire was contained deep underground, the mountains were filled with thick fog, making it extremely difficult to detect the situation below when flying overhead.

Han Li carefully investigated the area around this mountain range, found nothing unusual, and then opened up a temporary cave at the bottom of a mountain peak, and laid layers of restrictions around it.

He was already familiar with all of this, and completed it in less than half a day.

Han Li opened the Flower Branch Space and entered it.

The Immortal Essence Stones on his body, and the time-law power in the Years God Lamp were limited, so there was no time difference space inside at the moment.

"Master, how is your set of bamboo flying swords coming along?" Xiao Bai immediately went up to greet Han Li when she saw him come in.

"Going smoothly," Han Li said.

"That's great! Master's strength has greatly improved again. Why don't we strike while the iron is hot and go to the Great Gold Origin Immortal Domain to find Boss now?" Xiao Bai said happily.

"It's not possible now. With my current cultivation, even with you, I'm still not confident enough. However, I just obtained a treasure that will greatly aid my cultivation, so I plan to go into seclusion for a while and try to break through to the Grand Luo Realm," Han Li shook his head and said.

"Break through to the Grand Luo Realm! Master, you are cultivating the law of time. If you can break through to the Grand Luo, your strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds again. We will definitely be able to rescue Boss! It's just that it takes a lot of time to advance to the Grand Luo, will it delay the rescue of Boss? The king only gave me two hundred years..." Xiao Bai said, overjoyed, but then said with some worry.

"Even if I reach the Grand Luo Realm, I still can't say I have full confidence. I still need to combine the right time and place. In short, I have my own plan," Han Li said, pondering.

Xiao Bai opened her mouth, wanting to say something more.

Han Li turned his gaze and looked at a ball of white fire on the other side of the Flower Branch Space, and without saying a word, he made a hand seal and waved.

A golden light flew out and disappeared into the fire ball.

The fire ball rolled twice, and then disappeared, revealing the figure of Jing Yan Child. He flew to Han Li's side and babbled.

These years of hard work, the power of the fire origin law in Jing Yan Child's body has grown a lot.

"Xiao Bai, Child, I am going to try to break through to the Grand Luo next. Although I have set up defensive restrictions outside, it is still not safe if a strong enemy comes. I will trouble the two of you to go outside and guard it," Han Li said to the two.

"Don't worry, Master, leave it to me!" Xiao Bai patted her chest and said.

Jing Yan Child also shouted repeatedly, making a gesture of guarantee, and then they both flew out.

Han Li smiled, and then cast a spell to activate the Light and Shadow Heavenly Pivot Grand Formation, urging the Heavenly Balance Sundial. The flow of time in the Flower Branch Space changed immediately.

This time, to advance to the Grand Luo, he did not know how much time would be needed. To be safe, he started to activate the time difference space.

After doing these things, Han Li flew to the pavilion and sat down, taking out the cyan ancient wood.

He activated the Great Five Elements Illusionary World Formula, condensing a golden ring to shroud the cyan ancient wood.

With a "crack" sound, the cyan ancient wood was instantly shattered, and countless golden light spots flew out of it, merged into the golden ring, and then transformed into time-law crystal threads, more than fifty in total, wrapped around the Eastern Azure Divine Wood.

Although the time-law crystal threads on the Time Severing Torch were still a bit more, the law crystal threads on the five time-law embodiments were basically balanced.

The five embodiments immediately lit up, and revolved around Han Li quickly.

Han Li's heart shook, and a realization surged into his heart. The Grand Luo bottleneck that was firmly stuck in front of him loosened.

"As Master said, balance is the most important thing in the *Great Five Elements Illusionary World Formula*!" He was secretly delighted and felt grateful to Mi Luo Old Ancestor once again.

Then, Han Li took out the many preparations for breaking through to the Grand Luo Realm, especially the Xuan Zhen Pill, and placed it by his side.

Last time, he tried to break through to the Grand Luo, but stopped before the end, so he did not take this pill.

Han Li sat still with his eyes closed for half a day, waiting for his state of mind to completely return to calm, before slowly running the *Great Five Elements Illusionary World Formula*.

Dazzling golden light bloomed from his body, engulfing his body in it.

Rumble!

A vast and boundless power of time law rolled within the pavilion, causing the pavilion to rumble and tremble, and the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual Qi vibrated along with it, slowly converging towards Han Li.

……

Northern Cold Immortal Domain, a sea area outside of Ancient Cloud Continent, has been known as the Eastern Flow Sea Area since ancient times.

In this sea area, which is frozen by extreme cold all year round, there is a unique deep blue sea area that is not frozen.

Within this sea area, there is a black sea trench that is tens of thousands of feet deep, leading directly to the depths of the seabed.

There, there is an inconspicuous gray-white stone tablet, which is the entrance to a Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm under the once-popular Candle Dragon Path. The secret realm it connects to is called the "Floating Mountain" Secret Realm.

This secret realm is rich in spiritual herbs and was originally an important resource production area within the Candle Dragon Path. Han Li was once ordered to garrison here. However, with the decline of the Candle Dragon Path, this Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm was also taken into the hands of the Northern Cold Immortal Palace and became their private property.

Within the secret realm, on a white stone square on a turquoise mountain peak suspended in the void, a middle-aged man in a gray-white robe, with a beard all over his face, was holding a white jade wine pot, swaying and leaning against the railing on the edge of the square, looking drunk.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked forlornly at the thousands of feet of solitary peaks suspended everywhere in the void in front of him. He saw that they were covered with dense vegetation, and Qing vines hung upside down everywhere, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He was originally one of the thirty-six deputy path lords of the Candle Dragon Path. He was considered a powerful figure in the entire Candle Dragon Path. At the time of the sect's changes, he was only a little slower and did not immediately follow those rebels. After the incident, he was faded out of the sect's core.

After only a hundred years, he was demoted here to manage this "Floating Mountain" Secret Realm.

Compared with the infinite scenery when he was in power, he now naturally looks extremely downcast.
