The transparent figure was naturally Han Li, now attached to the body of the old Taoist Ling Yunzi.

After passing through the restriction barrier with the gray-haired old man and the disheveled man in front, he didn't continue to follow. Instead, he stood in place, looked up at the pavilion in front of him, and released a trace of his spiritual sense, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.

At this moment, the disheveled man had left the gray-haired old man far behind and quickly walked to the door of the pavilion, intending to push it open and enter.

Just then, Han Li suddenly turned his head, his pupils constricted, and his gaze fell on the disheveled man, while a layer of crystalline light emerged from the center of his brow.

With a "whoosh"!

A crystalline sword phantom flew out from the center of his brow. With a flicker, it crossed hundreds of zhang as if teleporting and appeared behind the disheveled man, directly entering his mind in a flash.

The whole process took only a breath, and it was silent, without any sound.

The disheveled man's right foot, which had just lifted, paused, and then his eyes suddenly bulged, and his body fell forward without warning, landing on the ground with a "thump."

"Wáng Zhíshì! What's wrong with you?"

Seeing this scene, the gray-haired old man was slightly stunned and quickly stepped forward to help the disheveled man's body.

As a result, the old man's expression changed drastically in the next moment.

The disheveled man was already breathless, and no trace of life could be sensed on his body.

After regaining his composure, the old man looked around, while his spiritual sense spread out, instantly scanning the area within the restriction barrier, centered on the pavilion.

As a result, the restriction barrier was unharmed, and with his cultivation, he naturally couldn't see through Han Li's concealment technique.

"Someone! Help!" After his expression turned cloudy and uncertain, the gray-haired old man immediately shouted.

There was a commotion within the Scripture Pavilion, and several cultivators emerged from it one after another. Seeing the scene before them, they understood the general situation and were shocked and thrown into chaos.

Han Li ignored these people, passing through them with ease and entering the Scripture Pavilion, releasing his spiritual sense again.

The Scripture Pavilion was divided into three floors. The first two floors were filled with ordinary miscellaneous books, human geography, illustrated books, travel notes, and so on.

These things were of little value, so the first two floors were unguarded and had no restrictions.

The third floor contained cultivation method scriptures, and the entire floor was covered by a rather ingenious restriction.

Han Li naturally had no interest in those cultivation method scriptures, and immediately began to quickly browse the books on the first two floors.

Now that the people in the building had run out because of the incident outside, he was naturally even more unconcerned.

The reason why he chose to kill the disheveled man at the door was naturally out of this consideration.

He quickly flipped through the books, quickly grasping a lot of information about the Mùjīng Continent, but this information did not help his current situation.

Han Li looked up at the front left. Only about a quarter of the time markings on the Time Dao Wheel phantom remained.

His eyes flashed. Although he didn't know what would happen after all the time markings were extinguished, he could roughly guess something based on his past experience.

But he didn't have the mind to care about these things now.

Han Li quickly retracted his gaze and continued to quickly browse the books.

After a while, his hand suddenly stopped, looking at a slightly yellowed book, which looked like it was very old.

This book was a memoir of a cultivator who liked to travel around the continent, and a picture in it caught Han Li's attention.

It was a bald, eyebrowless golden man with two long golden antennae on his head and some golden barb-like thorns on his body, looking quite ferocious.

It was quite similar to his previous Devouring Gold Bug King.

"...During my travels to the vicinity of the Jin Yan Mountain Range, I accidentally encountered a shocking battle, destroying tens of thousands of miles of mountains, collapsing the earth and splitting the ground. I feared that it was a fight between immortals, and in order to avoid disaster, I hurriedly fled and escaped with my life. This bug was one of the two immortals who fought. Unfortunately, my knowledge is shallow, and I don't know its origin..." The annotation of the cultivator was behind the picture.

Han Li's eyes lit up when he saw this.

This golden bug was obviously not his previous Devouring Gold Bug King, perhaps another one?

Speaking of which, his Bug King was lost after encountering Tao Yu after first entering the Northern Cold Immortal Region, and he has not been found until now. He spent a lot of effort on this matter afterwards, but unfortunately he could not find any useful clues. He did not expect to see relevant records about the Devouring Gold Bug here.

After noting this matter, Han Li did not delay and continued to quickly browse the back, but the following records in this memoir were all other rumors and anecdotes, and there was no more content about the Devouring Gold Bug.

He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he didn't stop and picked up another book about spiritual herbs.

He flipped through a few pages, and his hand stopped again, his eyes fixed on this page.

It was a purple flower, bright and dazzling, exactly the purple giant flower he had seen in the mountains before.

"Spirit Devouring Flower, uses a strange fragrance to attract living things and devours their flesh and blood for food. It contains Qi and blood medicinal power, which can be used to refine body refining pills with remarkable effects. However, this flower contains a strange corpse poison, and the toxin must be removed with secret techniques before it can be used in medicine. This method is costly and not easy..."

Han Li suddenly understood when he saw this.

No wonder those purple giant flowers clearly looked full of spiritual energy and had strong medicinal power, but they were allowed to bloom all over the mountains without being picked.

He wanted to continue browsing the books when a buzzing sound suddenly came from above his head.

Han Li looked up and frowned.

The time markings on the Time Dao Wheel phantom above his head had all dimmed at this moment. The phantom of the treasure wheel suddenly burst into light, and it quickly became solid and rapidly rotated, emitting bursts of whistling sounds.

Han Li looked outside, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The whistling sound that reached his ears was extremely obvious, but the people outside didn't seem to hear even half of it.

Moreover, although the Time Dao Wheel was spinning rapidly with an astonishing momentum, it did not have any impact on the surrounding area, not even a breeze in the air.

Suddenly, a spot of black light emerged from the center of the treasure wheel and quickly grew larger, instantly dyeing the Time Dao Wheel black.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

As the Time Dao Wheel rotated, a black vortex appeared again, exactly the same as the one on the crystal wall before.

All this took a long time to describe, but in reality, it only happened in an instant.

Before Han Li could react, a powerful suction force spurted out from it, covering the body he was currently possessing with his soul.

Swoosh!

Han Li only felt a sharp pain in his soul, and then, without any resistance, he was sucked out of this body and plunged into the black vortex.

The last scene he saw was Ling Yunzi's body, which had been revealed after losing the cover of the secret technique. But then it suddenly trembled, and it collapsed, turning into countless glowing lights, dissipating in the air.

This shocked Han Li.

But in the next moment, he felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and his consciousness became blurred.

He didn't know how long had passed before Han Li's consciousness gradually cleared and he slowly opened his eyes.

What came into his view was the crystal wall from before, with the black vortex on it flickering a few times before disappearing without a trace.

Then, the crystal wall trembled twice and quickly dissipated, and the void in front of him returned to its original state.

"I'm back..." Han Li looked at the familiar cave dwelling, a complex look flashed in his eyes, as if there was some joy and some disappointment.

He was happy to be back safely, but disappointed that, unlike the previous times, this time the palm bottle showed its power but he didn't gain any substantial harvest.

He naturally wouldn't be content with this, so he closed his eyes and quickly reviewed the previous bizarre experience in his mind, trying to find some clues from it.

After a long time, Han Li opened his eyes and shook his head. He couldn't figure out the reason for this experience after all, so he didn't bother to think about it anymore.

He sighed softly, made a hand gesture, and a layer of golden light emerged from his body, and the Time Dao Wheel appeared behind him.

As expected, all three hundred and sixty time markings on the treasure wheel had become extremely dim at this moment, just like after using the crystal wall supernatural power in the past.

A golden crystal thread was wrapped around the Time Dao Wheel, which was the Time Law crystal thread, but it had also become very dim at this moment.

Han Li's expression relaxed, and with a wave of his hand, he took the Time Law thread into his body.

At this moment, the void in front of him fluctuated, and after a thunderclap, in the dance of slender golden arcs, the figure of Crab Daoren emerged.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Han, for finally comprehending the Time Law," Crab Daoren said with cupped hands.

"This time, I was able to comprehend it successfully by borrowing a Rank Two Dao Pill. It was just a fluke. The Time Law is one of the three supreme laws, with profound mysteries. These slight advancements are not worth mentioning. By the way, did you see what just happened here?" Han Li smiled and changed the subject.

"What just happened? Are you referring to the moment you summoned the crystal wall, and you had a moment of absentmindedness? Is there something wrong with that?" Crab Daoren said somewhat woodenly.

Han Li was slightly stunned, and then, without saying much, he stroked his chin, revealing a contemplative look.

Judging from Crab Daoren's answer, the three hundred and sixty breaths of time that he experienced after his soul was sucked into the crystal wall, traveled to the Jin Yuan Immortal Region, and possessed another person, seemed to be just a flick of the finger in the real world where his body was located.

Then, does this so-called Jin Yuan Immortal Region really exist? Is there really a sect called the Iron Beast Sect?

And Ling Yunzi, whom he possessed, and Li Yuanjiu, whom he saw, are they really real, or just figments of his imagination?

If it's fake, the entire process of him using the sword transformed by his divine sense to kill the disheveled man was extremely real, just like killing a cultivator with divine sense in the real world.

Han Li frowned slightly, and found that this matter was becoming more and more confusing.

After a long time, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This matter was too strange, and he couldn't understand it now. He could only wait for a chance to investigate it in the future.
