Wang Yu
Chapter 345: Avoiding the Limelight
This bell was clearly an immortal artifact containing some kind of sonic law power. It could scatter the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords with one strike, which was enough to show its extraordinary power, so he kept it.
As for the black fanged strange sword, it was somewhat similar to the Shura Heavenly Ghost Banner, both belonging to the Yin attribute, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Although his divine sense power now far exceeded that of ordinary True Immortal Realm late-stage cultivators, and was even comparable to early-stage Gold Immortal cultivators, refining three immortal artifacts at the same time was already his limit.
As for the black inkstone that could unleash Soul-Extinguishing True Light, the power of the laws it contained far exceeded the Yuanhe Five Extremes Mountain and the silver bell.
For such a treasure, Han Li naturally wanted to control it, but there seemed to be some kind of restriction contained within it. No matter how Han Li refined it, he couldn't break it, so there was no way to activate it.
This made Han Li feel a little depressed, but he didn't lack immortal artifacts at the moment, and he didn't have that much time, so he put this matter aside.
In the storage magical artifacts of the three gorgeously dressed youths, besides these immortal artifacts, there were also many other treasures. Various rare materials, elixirs, and other items were countless, especially in the hands of the youth. There were actually more than a dozen kinds of materials containing the power of laws alone.
In addition, the three people's Immortal Essence Stones added up to more than 10,000. With these, he wouldn't have to worry about Immortal Essence Stones for a considerable period of time in the future.
But what surprised Han Li the most was that he actually found a large amount of materials needed for Dao Pills in the youth's storage magical artifact.
There were seven of the nine materials missing from his Dao Pill formula, and there were quite a few of each.
Han Li was a little surprised at first, but when he found an identical Dao Pill formula, he suddenly understood.
It seemed that the gorgeously dressed youth also had the idea of refining Dao Pills. With his status and the vast power of the Northern Cold Immortal Palace, it was naturally not difficult, but now it benefited Han Li.
Now, there were still two materials missing from the Dao Pill formula, Heavenly Creation Ginseng and Dew Condensation Grass. He believed that as long as he paid more attention to the information in the Unconstant Alliance and spent some time, he would eventually find a way to gather them.
As Han Li was thinking this, his expression suddenly changed. He flipped his hand and took out a palm-sized golden token.
The token was made of some kind of special metal. It was so small, but it weighed more than a thousand pounds. One side was a golden dragon pattern, roaring to the sky, giving people a sense of high and mighty majesty.
The other side was a name, Tao Yu.
Above the name was a feather crown-shaped pattern.
Looking at this golden token, a hint of gloom appeared in Han Li's eyes.
At this moment, his eyebrows suddenly raised. He opened the window of the cabin. Outside was the roaring sea surface of raging thunder.
However, there were restrictions around the Sea-Crossing Thunder Ark, so not much thunder could be heard.
A faint golden light appeared in the distant sky, then disappeared in a flash. The next moment, the void in Han Li's cabin fluctuated, and golden lightning appeared, condensing into a lightning magic circle. Then, the figure of the Crab Daoren appeared out of thin air.
Golden electric arcs flowed around the Crab Daoren's body, quickly converging into his body. The surrounding golden lightning formation also dissipated.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Crab has recovered." Han Li looked at the Crab Daoren up and down and said slowly.
"I didn't expect the power of thunder and lightning here to be so rich, which is of great help to me." The Crab Daoren nodded.
Han Li didn't say much. He turned sideways to let the Crab Daoren enter the room, and then returned to sit cross-legged again.
The Crab Daoren suffered a lot of damage in the previous battle and when he forcibly broke the restriction. After coming to the Thunderstorm Sea, he immediately plunged into it to absorb the rich thunder and lightning power here to recover from his injuries. He didn't expect that he would recover in just a few months, which made Han Li feel relieved.
After all, having a Gold Immortal-level helper by his side would make things much easier.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Han is still worried about that Tao Yu." The Crab Daoren said, seeing the golden token in Han Li's hand.
"Worried is not the right word. I've already killed him. It's useless to think about it more. I'm just wondering if the Immortal Palace has found out that I killed this person." Han Li sighed softly and shook his head.
These days, he spent a lot of Immortal Essence Stones in the Unconstant Alliance to thoroughly investigate this golden token, and he also learned a lot of information.
This token was the Elder Token of the Immortal Palace, and Tao Yu was the name of that gorgeously dressed youth. He was also a newly promoted Elder of the Northern Cold Immortal Palace.
Not only that, this Tao Yu was originally not from the Northern Cold Immortal Territory, but was sent from other Immortal Territories a thousand years ago, seemingly intending to experience here. It could be seen that his identity and background were definitely not simple, but he didn't expect that instead of experiencing, he died in Han Li's hands.
In this way, the Northern Cold Immortal Palace would probably never let him go.
He was now leaving Ancient Cloud Continent on the Sea-Crossing Thunder Ark because he wanted to return to the Black Wind Sea. One reason was to check on the situation of the Earthly Fiend Incarnation, and the other more important purpose was to avoid the limelight.
The Black Wind Sea was located in a remote area, and the news was blocked. It was almost isolated from the world. It was a very suitable place to escape the Immortal Palace's pursuit.
"With the strength of the Northern Cold Immortal Palace, it shouldn't be difficult to thoroughly investigate. However, you left in time this time, and you also have that long-distance teleportation thunder formation. Even if the Immortal Palace wants to catch you now, it's already a bit late." The Crab Daoren thought for a while and said.
"I hope so. Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to master the Thunder Light Formation so quickly. It's quite a surprise to me." Han Li smiled wryly, then changed the subject.
"This formation is extremely mysterious. It can combine the Thunder Escape Technique and the power of space. Fortunately, I was originally good at manipulating the power of lightning, otherwise I wouldn't be able to master it." The Crab Daoren said.
"Fellow Daoist Crab, have you discovered anything special during your cultivation in the Thunderstorm Sea these days?" Han Li suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Anything special? I haven't encountered anything. What are you referring to?" The Crab Daoren thought for a while and replied.
Han Li hesitated slightly and told him about the giant eye he saw in the Thundercloud Vortex back then.
"There's such a thing!" The Crab Daoren said in surprise, a look of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
"Can you find any clues in your memory?" Han Li asked again.
"No, this is my first time coming to this Thunderstorm Sea. However, that giant eye can seriously injure you with just one glance. Even a Grand Luo Jade Immortal may not be able to do that." The Crab Daoren shook his head first, then said.
"That Xiao Jinhan and the Baili Dao Lord are both peak Gold Immortals, only one step away from the Grand Luo Realm, but I also feel that even if they advance to the Grand Luo Realm, they are probably far inferior to the power of that giant eye." Han Li also nodded in agreement.
"This place is already close to the central area of the Thunderstorm Sea. I encountered that giant eye here back then. Since there is such a terrifying existence, now that you have recovered, it's best not to enter the Thunder Sea casually. It's better to be safe than sorry." Han Li said in a deep voice.
These days, he had not left the Sea-Crossing Thunder Ark at all.
"Okay." The Crab Daoren pondered for a moment and said.
……
At the same time.
Inside the main hall of the Zhulong Dao Sect, Ouyang Kuishan and the other ten Gold Immortal Dao Lords all stood below, their breaths uneven, as if their serious injuries had not healed.
Opposite Ouyang Kuishan and the others also stood seven or eight Gold Immortal existences, all of whom were from the Northern Cold Immortal Palace.
Above the main seat in the hall sat a person, none other than Xiao Jinhan.
Seeing Xiao Jinhan sitting in the main seat, the faces of Ouyang Kuishan and the others looked a little unnatural. Some even showed anger directly.
Xiao Jinhan turned a blind eye to these and slowly opened his mouth to say, "How is the matter going?"
"Reporting to the Palace Master, the traces of Hu Yan Daoren and Yun Ni have been found. The two of them were seriously injured and fled to Upper A Continent, but Elder Lu Yue has already led people to capture them. I believe there will be results soon. However, Baili Yan does not know what kind of secret technique he used, and no traces have been found so far..." An Immortal Palace Elder said.
"Very good. Although Baili Yan was not completely subdued this time, his cultivation has been greatly damaged due to his serious injuries, and after the Karma Flame returns, millions of years of cultivation have been destroyed in one fell swoop. It will be difficult for him to rise again. I am afraid that he may not be able to pass the upcoming Fifth Tribulation." Xiao Jinhan nodded and said.
These words seemed to be said to the Immortal Palace people, but when Ouyang Kuishan and others heard them, a complicated look flashed in their eyes.
"Dao Lord Ouyang, Hu Yan Daoren and Yun Ni helped the Samsara Palace to rebel, which is a great crime of rebellion. According to the rules of the Heavenly Court, the relatives and disciples of these two must be captured and handed over to the Heavenly Court for disposal. May I trouble you to do this?" Xiao Jinhan turned his head to look at Ouyang Kuishan. Although he was speaking in a consultative tone, it was completely a commanding tone.
"Yes." Ouyang Kuishan's cheek muscles twitched, and he said in a low voice.
"Very good. All of you, go down." Xiao Jinhan nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said.
The Immortal Palace people agreed and retreated.
The Zhulong Dao's Gold Immortal Dao Lords looked at each other. Ouyang Kuishan gave a wink, and everyone walked out of the hall.
A moment later, the crowd landed in front of a hall.
"Dao Lord Ouyang, what does the Northern Cold Immortal Palace mean by this? Now that the matter of capturing Baili Yan has come to an end, they are still staying in our Zhulong Dao. Do they really want to take this opportunity to control our Zhulong Dao's power?" A golden-haired strong man, one of the two alien Dao Lords, said indignantly.
"If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have helped these people deal with Baili Dao Lord in the first place. With Baili Dao Lord around, Xiao Jinhan would be afraid of hitting the mouse for fear of breaking the dishes, and he would never dare to be so arrogant." The silver-skinned woman, another alien Dao Lord, said in a cold voice.
Hearing this, everyone else showed complex expressions and shook their heads in regret.
Ouyang Kuishan showed a wry smile and did not speak.
The Immortal Palace's intentions were obvious. Anyone with discerning eyes could see through it at a glance.
It was just that the Zhulong Dao had suffered severe damage to its strength after this great battle. Many people had also directly defected, greatly reducing its strength. It was no longer the opponent of the Northern Cold Immortal Palace.
Not to mention anything else, with just Xiao Jinhan alone, the Zhulong Dao had no one who could compete with him.
