Chapter 104: Land of Chaos

A moment later, the white-robed man whom Tao Ji addressed as "Palace Lord" appeared in a grand hall deep within the Jin Yuan Immortal Palace.

Inside the hall, a foot-sized golden disc floated, emitting a bright golden light that formed a complex communication formation.

He took out a purple token, one side of which was engraved with three small golden characters, "Nine Yuan Temple," while the other side depicted a magnificent landscape of mountains and rivers.

The white-robed man was about to place the token into the communication formation when his gaze flickered slightly, and he paused.

After pondering for a moment, he put the token away and turned to go to a hall outside.

"Someone!" The white-robed man sat on the main seat in the hall and spoke aloud.

As soon as his voice fell, the space in front of him fluctuated, and two figures appeared out of thin air.

One was a gray-haired old man with small, beady eyes darting around. His nose was almost twice as long as an ordinary person's, and he had a thin, withered mustache on his lip, making him look like a rat who had become a spirit at first glance.

The other was a burly man wearing a floor-length black robe, arms crossed, carrying a black ghost-head battle knife on his back, with a cold expression on his face.

"Palace Lord, what are your orders?" The two men bowed to the white-robed man, speaking in unison.

The gray-haired old man's voice was sharp and thin, like the squeak of a field mouse, while the black-robed man's voice was rough and hoarse, sounding like steel needles scratching the ear.

"Lu Yun, take a trip to the Northern Cold Immortal Territory and investigate that Han Li. Start from when he ascended to the True Immortal World, and don't let go of any small details," the white-robed man instructed.

"Yes," the gray-robed old man nodded.

"Hei Dao, go to the Tian Song Temple to track down Han Li's whereabouts. You must find him, but don't stir up trouble," the white-robed man then said to the black-robed man.

"Yes!" The black-robed man immediately nodded.

"Go," the white-robed man waved his hand, and the two figures in front of him flickered and disappeared in an instant.

The white-robed man closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, Han Li was riding in a sky-blue flying chariot, turning into a blue streak as he flew forward.

This flying chariot was found in Zhao Gu Zhenren's storage magic tool. In terms of quality, it was no less than his previous jasper flying chariot.

He sat cross-legged inside the flying chariot, controlling it as he flew forward, while raising his hand and waving his sleeve, sending out more than a hundred storage magic tools, which he had obtained from Tao Ji and others.

Han Li took Tao Ji's storage magic tool, his divine sense entered it, and after a moment, a golden light flashed in his hand, and a golden token appeared. One side was carved with a dragon pattern, the other side was written with the two characters "Tao Ji," and the bottom of the token was written with the four small characters "Jin Yuan Immortal Palace."

He looked at the token, his brow furrowing slightly.

He had been entangled with the Heavenly Court for so many years, and he had a good understanding of the various immortal palaces and their identity tokens.

This identity token was the Jin Yuan Immortal Palace's elder token.

He put the token away and probed Jin Chuan's storage magic tool. He quickly confirmed his identity. This person was an elder of Tian Shui Sect, a large sect in the Jin Yuan Immortal Territory.

As for the other Golden Immortals, half of them were under the Jin Yuan Immortal Palace, and the other half were from the Tian Shui Sect.

These people's cultivation was not low. They had a certain status in the Immortal Palace and even the sect. However, for Han Li, the things in these Golden Immortal cultivators' storage magic tools, apart from a considerable number of immortal essence stones, were mostly not to his liking.

He casually classified these things, intending to find an opportunity to exchange those immortal artifacts, elixirs, and materials for immortal essence stones. Such a quantity of immortal essence stones was enough for a Grand Prime cultivator to quietly seclude himself for at least a million years.

Han Li sorted things out, a pensive look on his face.

Setting aside the Tian Shui Sect, the Jin Yuan Immortal Territory was one of the Heavenly Court's leading territories, and the person stationed there must be a Grand Luo cultivator or above, far from comparable to the Northern Cold Immortal Territory where he first arrived in the True Immortal World.

He had killed one of their elders and so many Golden Immortals. Although there were no survivors left at the scene, who knew what means the other party had to find him?

However, as the saying goes, debts are not burdensome. He had killed the Heavenly Court's people anyway. Since his identity had been exposed and he had been wanted by them, they would not let him go just because he killed one less elder. So he might as well go all the way and kill one, kill a pair.

His current cultivation and physical strength were no longer those of the small True Immortal who had just arrived in the Immortal World. Even if a Grand Luo cultivator came in person, even if he couldn't deal with them, he would still have some confidence in escaping.

But behind the Jin Yuan Immortal Palace was the vast organization of the Heavenly Court, which contained Dao Ancestors. Although the commotion he had caused before might not have attracted the attention of the Dao Ancestors, it might in the future. Although he was very confident in his strength, he was not so arrogant as to be able to compete with the entire Heavenly Court.

It seemed that there was no other way but to hide his tracks first.

Han Li then flipped his hand and took out several thick books, quickly flipping through them.

These books were found in Tao Ji and others' storage magic tools, and they were related to the Jin Yuan Immortal Territory.

The books that Tao Ji and others carried with them were naturally high-quality, recording in detail the terrain, geography, human customs, and other information of various places in the Jin Yuan Immortal Territory.

Han Li was multitasking, reading several books at the same time. With his current memory ability, he finished reading them all in a short time.

His eyes flickered for a moment, and then he made a hand seal.

The flying chariot flashed blue light and immediately changed direction, speeding forward.

More than ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Somewhere in the Jin Yuan Immortal Territory, a blue meteor streaked across the sky and slowly stopped at a certain place, revealing a blue flying chariot.

In front of the flying chariot was a huge golden mountain range. The mountains were extremely tall, reaching straight into the clouds. Moreover, the mountains stretched to both sides, extending to the end of the field of vision, like a huge golden chasm, lying across the front.

The golden mountains were surrounded by a dense golden sea of fog, making the peaks inside appear and disappear, giving people a sense of mystery.

"Finally arrived." Han Li stood on the flying chariot, looked at the mountains in front of him, and said with a relaxed expression.

Standing beside Han Li was a black-robed girl, who was none other than Ti Hun, who had recently woken up.

Her face still looked a little pale, and a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes as she looked at the huge mountain range in front of her.

This mountain range was called the Jin Yuan Mountains, which was one of the largest mountain ranges in the Jin Yuan Immortal Territory. The Jin Yuan Immortal Territory was different from the complex terrain of the Northern Cold Immortal Territory. It had only one huge continent, and the Jin Yuan Mountains stretched from west to east, almost across half of the continent.

In terms of area, the Jin Yuan Mountains were definitely the largest mountain range Han Li had ever seen.

The Jin Yuan Mountains were not only vast, but also a place where wealth and danger coexisted.

The name of this immortal territory was Jin Yuan Immortal Territory. As the name suggested, the gold attribute spiritual energy in this immortal territory was rich, and the Jin Yuan Mountains were the gathering place of the gold attribute spiritual veins in the entire immortal territory.

The gold attribute spiritual energy in the mountains was extremely rich, and countless gold attribute spiritual materials were born. Almost all the cultivators in the Jin Yuan Immortal Territory would come here to explore and search for treasures.

However, because the gold attribute spiritual energy in the Jin Yuan Mountains was too rich, many natural gold power fields were formed in the depths of the mountains. The deeper one went into the mountains, the larger the gold power fields became. Ordinary cultivators who entered them would have their strength greatly affected.

Moreover, the gold attribute spiritual energy in the Jin Yuan Mountains was too abundant, giving birth to many strange metal beasts. These alien beasts were condensed from gold attribute spiritual energy. They were powerful, and because they were born here, they were not affected by the gold power fields. They had a great advantage in the battles with cultivators.

Gold power fields, metal beasts, and some other dangers in the mountains caused countless people who entered the Jin Yuan Mountains to search for treasures to lose their lives here every year.

But riches were found in danger. The dangers of the Jin Yuan Mountains still could not stop the greed and self-confidence of countless cultivators. People who came here to search for treasures were still endless.

The Immortal Palace would naturally not turn a blind eye to such a natural treasure trove as the Jin Yuan Mountains. In fact, the Jin Yuan Immortal Palace was located at the western end of the Jin Yuan Mountains and had been trying to bring the Jin Yuan Mountains under its control.

Unfortunately, the area of ​​this mountain range was too large. The Jin Yuan Immortal Palace could only control a small area in the western part of the mountain range with all its efforts. The remaining large area was controlled by countless sects and families.

These areas were not uniformly governed. Various forces fought openly and secretly for their own interests, which was very chaotic.

Han Li came to the Jin Yuan Mountains because he was attracted to the chaotic environment here.

He had now opened up more than 900 mysterious acupoints in his body. According to past experience, it should be much easier to continue opening up immortal acupoints.

He now possessed a large number of immortal essence stones and planned to seclude himself here for a period of time in order to improve his cultivation realm as much as possible in a short period of time.

In any case, the sudden attack by Tao Ji and others made him feel a sense of urgency in his heart.

With a thought in his mind, he once again urged the Reincarnation Palace mask to change his appearance, transforming into a black-faced, black-bearded man, and his cultivation was also suppressed to the level of a Golden Immortal in the early stage.

"Master, should I also use the Reincarnation Palace mask to change my appearance?" Ti Hun asked when she saw Han Li's actions.

"This is the Jin Yuan Immortal Territory, and no one knows you, so there is no need to bother." Han Li shook his head, and then urged the flying chariot to continue forward, and soon entered the Jin Yuan Mountains.

Closer to the mountains, the Jin Yuan Mountains looked even more majestic, and a huge sense of oppression came, shocking the heart.

Compared with the huge mountains, Han Li and Ti Hun were like two small ants, insignificant.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was quite rich, and most of it was gold attribute spiritual energy, while there was very little spiritual energy of other attributes.

This special environment was an excellent place for some people who practiced gold attribute cultivation methods, but it was very unfavorable for others.

However, the environment here had no effect on Han Li. He took elixirs to cultivate and did not rely on the external spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Master, where are we going next? Are we going to find a place to seclude ourselves in this mountain range?" Ti Hun looked around a few times and asked again.

"There are many cities opened up by sects and forces in the Jin Yuan Mountains. Let's take a look first. If it is relatively stable outside, we will cultivate outside." Han Li pondered for a while and said.

"Okay!" Ti Hun nodded and said.
