Mortal's Journey: Immortal World

In the center of the formation, Xie Dao Ren emitted a Xuanhuang, gold, and purple tri-color radiance. The three colors intertwined, yet did not clash. Instead, they merged and permeated each other, subtly giving off a sense of perfect harmony.

Countless tri-colored spirit patterns flowed like living things on its body surface, sometimes converging to form arrays, but instantly scattering again, appearing extremely profound.

An aura of a Golden Immortal emanated from it, and this aura was incredibly smooth, without the previous stagnation and instability.

Han Li was delighted. His hand movements did not stop at all. With both hands forming incantation gestures, the four-colored light curtain in the room shone brightly, suppressing the Golden Immortal aura tightly, preventing it from leaking out.

Xie Dao Ren moved his body and opened his eyes.

His eyes were filled with dazzling light, making it impossible to look directly at them.

Whoosh whoosh!

Two dazzling rays of light shot out, easily piercing through the four-colored light curtain, creating two large holes.

Immediately afterward, the two rays of light pierced through the walls of the inn and shot into the sky, disappearing without a trace.

Fortunately, the two rays of light were flying diagonally upwards, and did not hurt anyone.

Han Li was startled and quickly cast a spell.

The four-colored light curtain flashed, and the pierced areas immediately healed.

The two rays of light flew into the mid-air of White Jade City and exploded violently.

The space above the city flickered wildly, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rolled violently. Three gusts of Xuanhuang, gold, and purple hurricanes appeared, emitting a terrifying pressure.

The three hurricanes roared and tore through the air, emitting rolling thunder wherever they passed, creating a spectacular scene.

The cultivators in various parts of White Jade City saw such amazing anomalies in mid-air, and their expressions changed drastically.

"What a terrible pressure, this is definitely not something a True Immortal Realm cultivator can release!"

"Could it be that a Dao Lord has come to White Jade City?"

For a time, many people stopped in their tracks and discussed the matter.

Han Li sensed the situation outside through his divine sense, and his expression changed slightly.

His hands formed incantation gestures like wheels, tightly sealing the aura emanating from Xie Dao Ren, preventing it from leaking out any further.

At the same time, he spread out his divine sense, instantly covering an area of thousands of miles centered on the inn, sensing the situation in the city, so as to respond early.

The two rays of light were inconspicuous when they flew out of here, almost flashing by, and today is the day the Dao Lecture Conference is about to begin, many people may have already left White Jade City. There are not many cultivators in the city now, and it is not certain that anyone has noticed that the source is here. Coupled with the fear of the Golden Immortal Realm cultivators, even if someone really finds out, they may not dare to come forward to confirm.

The tri-colored hurricanes roared and circled in the air for a while, and soon dissipated.

Although the tri-colored hurricanes were magnificent, they did not cause any harm. The people in the city discussed for a while and soon dispersed.

Seeing this, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief.

In the center of the formation, Xie Dao Ren moved his body and stood up. The various colors of light on his body disappeared, and the huge pressure that he emitted also disappeared.

"Finally, today, I have achieved complete success." Xie Dao Ren said.

"Xie Dao Ren, didn't you say before that you didn't need me to protect you, and that you could handle this matter yourself? If I hadn't stayed a little longer, I'm afraid it would have caused a lot of trouble." Han Li said in a faint tone.

He had been guarding here for these three days, and he had not been able to participate in the various auctions and trade fairs in the city.

Generally, the better items would come out later in such a grand event. If he could have participated in these three days, he might have found one or two ingredients for Dao pills.

"I didn't expect that this Thunder Soul Crystal would be so pure, the power contained in it was beyond my expectations." Xie Dao Ren heard the dissatisfaction in Han Li's words and explained.

"Forget it! It's fortunate that you were able to successfully integrate it. I haven't congratulated you on finally getting your wish." Han Li changed the subject and congratulated him with a slight smile.

"Thank you, Han Dao Ren, for finding this immortal body for me, and for protecting me these past few days. Otherwise, I would never have been able to succeed so smoothly this time. Han Dao Ren, don't worry, I will remember this kindness." Xie Dao Ren cupped his hands at Han Li and said.

"The power you released unintentionally just now did not lead to the exposure of your identity, but it is not appropriate to continue to stay here, and the Dao Lecture Conference is about to begin, let's leave here first." Han Li waved his hand and said lightly.

Xie Dao Ren nodded, his body flashed with light, turned into a yellow light, and flew into the storage bracelet on Han Li's hand.

Han Li waved his hand and released a yellow light to repair the two small holes in the wall, then pushed open the door and walked out.

He was about to turn around and go downstairs when he suddenly stopped and looked in the other direction of the corridor.

When he spread out his divine sense just now, he had already investigated the situation in this inn. Gan Jiuzhen was no longer there.

A strange look appeared on Han Li's face, and then he quickly withdrew his gaze and turned to go downstairs.

"By the way, you asked me to sell those Scarlet Cloud Fire Crystals before, saying that you would tell me the reason after you completely integrated the puppet body. What is the reason?" He remembered something and communicated with Xie Dao Ren with his divine soul.

"Han Dao Ren, what kind of power do you think this Golden Immortal puppet is driven by?" Xie Dao Ren asked instead of answering.

Han Li was stunned and did not answer.

"All immortal puppets are driven by immortal essence stones, and this puppet is no exception. Moreover, this puppet is a puppet with the strength of the Golden Immortal Realm. The consumption is huge when it is activated. The little immortal essence stones you have are not enough." Xie Dao Ren continued.

"How much do you consume when you activate this puppet?" Han Li was silent for a moment and asked.

"When this puppet is fully activated, it will probably consume ten immortal essence stones every breath." Xie Dao Ren said.

"What, ten stones per breath!" Although Han Li was somewhat mentally prepared, he was still shocked to hear this.

"This is not considered high. Immortal puppets need the support of a huge amount of immortal spiritual power. It is not uncommon for the consumption to be dozens or even hundreds of times this." Xie Dao Ren said.

"Xie Dao Ren, have you seen such a puppet?" Han Li took a breath.

"No, during the process of merging with the Thunder Soul Crystal this time, some more things have been added to my sealed memories." Xie Dao Ren said.

"Oh, have you remembered something about your former master?" Han Li's eyes flashed and he asked immediately.

He was very interested in this person. Although Xie Dao Ren had said that his former master had fallen, whether it was true or not remained to be seen.

"Some very fragmented memories, mostly related to immortal puppet information... As for the Scarlet Cloud Fire Crystals that you sold, Han Dao Ren, they were exchanged for about three thousand immortal essence stones, which is enough to support me to make a few moves." Xie Dao Ren said.

"I understand. It's almost time, let's go." Han Li nodded and looked up at White Jade Peak.

……

On White Jade Peak, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear.

On the clear blue sky, there were floating white clouds, and a seven-colored rainbow was like a huge arch bridge, spanning the clouds.

In the high sky, a dragon-horse with two wings pulled hundreds of golden chariots, on which stood teams of tall cultivators wearing golden armor and holding silver halberds, patrolling back and forth in the sky within a radius of thousands of miles.

A layer of light golden restriction light curtain covered White Jade Peak, which was used to restrict the flight of cultivators.

The fluctuations transmitted from it were not very strong. As long as the cultivators above the True Immortal Realm, they could fly in without being affected, but if they were cultivators of the Grand Ascension Stage and below, they would be blocked out and could not enter.

Therefore, most of the disciples of the Zhulongdao flew to the foot of White Jade Peak before walking up the mountain to reach the square on the top of the peak to participate in this grand event.

At this moment, on the white square, there was a scene of hustle and bustle.

Hundreds of thousands of disciples of the Zhulongdao, as well as many core elders of the subordinate sects, densely occupied the entire square. After filling all the futon positions, people were still coming, crowding the square.

Even more, seeing that there was no place to stand on the top of the peak, they simply retreated and sought a clearing on the mountainside, sat down cross-legged, and waited for the grand event to begin.

At the foot of White Jade Peak, there were also crowds of people, and the hustle and bustle was no less than that on the square on the top of the peak.

However, the composition of the people here was more complicated. In addition to the ordinary disciples of the Zhulongdao, there were also many cultivators from other small and medium-sized forces on the Ancient Cloud Continent.

These people set up small stalls in the forest open space and on both sides of the road at the foot of White Jade Peak, which were filled with a variety of magical treasures, artifacts, elixirs and spiritual materials, taking advantage of the fact that the conference had not yet begun to do small business.

At regular intervals around the stalls, there were Zhulongdao cultivators wearing golden armor stationed and patrolling, maintaining order here.

Unlike the exchange meeting that Han Li had participated in before, this was mainly for cultivators below the Transformation Spirit Stage. Speaking of which, it was more like the Tai Nan Small Meeting he had participated in when he was in the Human Realm.

On the top of White Jade Peak, on the lecture platform in the center of the square, there was a large purple desk in the center position. There were not many patterns and carvings on it. Although it did not look delicate and beautiful, it was more ancient and natural.

Behind the desk, there was a bronze round tripod about ten feet high, with hundreds of cyan-purple sandalwood sticks inserted in it. The incense heads flickered with scarlet fire under the blowing of the mountain wind, and wisps of green smoke were coming out of it.

On both sides of the round tripod, there were nearly a hundred cyan-gray round futons placed symmetrically.

At this moment, various colors of escaping light flew from time to time in the high sky, showing figures, and they found ordinary futon positions on the stone steps around the high platform and sat down cross-legged.

Unlike the chaos and hustle and bustle on the square, those who could occupy a place on the stone steps around the lecture platform were all elders of the inner and outer gates of the Zhulongdao with True Immortal Realm cultivation, as well as core disciples under the Dao Lords. Each of them valued their status. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they naturally would not make a lot of noise.

Most of them closed their eyes and adjusted their breath, waiting for the conference to begin. Only a few people greeted the acquaintances around them and whispered to each other.

At this moment, a cyan escaping light flew from the distant sky in the southwest direction and landed directly under the lecture platform. After the escaping light converged, a tall young man in elder's clothes appeared from it. It was Han Li.

He looked up and glanced at it. He saw that the positions near the top of the high platform were basically occupied, and there were many empty seats on the lower section of the steps.

Han Li walked up the steps along the walkway left in the middle of the steps. After walking about a hundred steps, he saw a familiar figure on the left waving at him.

This person was none other than Qi Liang.

Han Li smiled at him and walked over to him, sitting down in the empty futon position next to him.
