Han Li pondered, touching the water pouch at his waist.

A considerable amount of the Heavy Water on his body remained; only about thirty percent had been converted into Second Layer Heavy Water and absorbed by the Heavy Water True Wheel.

He wondered just how much Second Layer Heavy Water the Heavy Water True Wheel could absorb...

Han Li shook his head, and with a flick of his hand, he retrieved the True Wheel. Then, turning his hand over, he took out an object—a crimson array disc, the communication array disc that Hu Yan had given him earlier.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly. Three years had passed. According to what Hu Yan had said, the Immortal Mansion would open in only three to four years. It should be approaching now, but there was no sign of the other party contacting him.

"Could things have changed?" Han Li couldn't help but wonder.

Actually, he hadn't been particularly concerned about going to this Immortal Mansion. After all, many forces were involved in this trip, including the Northern Cold Immortal Palace. There were quite a few Gold Immortal Realm cultivators whose cultivation levels were far higher than his own, making it incredibly risky. Even if there were many benefits, his own life was naturally more important.

However, after learning that the *Zhenyan Transformation Sutra* still had follow-up cultivation methods and that they rested on Hu Yan, he had to take it seriously. Especially after witnessing the tip of the iceberg of the Law of Time, which was enough to reverse the world, he was deeply shocked and yearned for it.

Thoughts swirling in his mind, he looked at the array disc in his hand, considering whether to send a message to inquire.

However, after thinking it over, Han Li shook his head and abandoned the idea.

Regardless of whether Hu Yan and Yun Ni were successfully searching for the Immortal Mansion entrance, he couldn't help them. Since that was the case, it was best not to disturb them and wait for the results.

Although the Black Wind Sea wasn't very safe now, with the combined supernatural powers of the two of them, as long as they didn't encounter opponents like Xiao Jinhan, they probably wouldn't have any problems.

Han Li put away the crimson array disc, looked ahead, and pondered.

Thinking of the Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion, the figure of Jiao San couldn't help but appear in his mind.

Looking back now, Jiao San, and the previous actions of the Reincarnation Palace, were likely all for the Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion.

Han Li suddenly raised his right hand, and a storage bag appeared in his palm, containing several sets of Void Essence Pill materials.

His eyes flickered a couple of times. After putting away the palm bottle, spiritual light flashed on his body surface, and his escape light rose up, heading toward a distant direction, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

Han Li flew in this direction for several days, finally stopping on a deserted island countless miles away from Wumeng Island.

This place was close to the Windswept Horror region, where the earth's spiritual energy was extremely turbulent, hurricanes howled, and the sea surface churned up huge waves.

He ignored the harsh environment around him, and his spiritual sense spread out, perceiving that there were no abnormalities around him. Only then did he nod in satisfaction and withdraw his spiritual sense.

Then, with a wave of Han Li's sleeve, a thick stack of array flags and array discs appeared.

He chanted incantations, and the array flags and array discs transformed into streams of light, shooting toward the surrounding area of the island and disappearing into it.

After a moment, a layer of restrictive light, like yellow clouds, emerged, enveloping the entire deserted island.

Everything on the deserted island was immediately completely isolated from the outside world. Not only were the external sounds blocked, but the earth's spiritual energy was also completely isolated, as if they were two separate spaces.

Before long, outside the yellow cloud restriction, the void fluctuated again, and a thick layer of azure restriction emerged.

Outside the azure restriction, countless white rays of light emerged, quickly condensing into a layer of white restriction.

As soon as the white restriction formed, the void further out fluctuated again.

In the blink of an eye, seven layers of restrictions emerged, enveloping the island layer by layer. The outermost layer was a blue restriction, like a water curtain. After enveloping the island, countless blue water waves emerged on the restriction, and the entire island slowly disappeared, merging with the nearby sea area.

These restrictions were exactly what Han Li had used to protect his temporary cave dwelling back then, and now he was setting them up around the deserted island with practiced ease.

Han Li glanced around, nodded slightly, and sat down cross-legged on a flat area in the center of the island, raising one hand.

With a flash of silver light, a silver light flew out of his hand, transforming into a silver pill furnace, landing in front of him.

Then, another silver light flashed, and the Refined Flame Puppet landed at the bottom of the furnace, transforming into a ball of silver flames...

Han Li prepared everything with extreme swiftness. Only then did he take out the storage magic treasure and, with a wave, a large amount of Void Essence Pill materials emerged from it, landing beside him.

He adjusted his breathing slightly, and after his mind was completely calm, he immediately picked up one of the materials beside him and threw it into the pill furnace.

He planned to use this last period of time and the several portions of spiritual materials for refining the Void Essence Pill that he had intercepted earlier to refine them again. Although he didn't know the specific uses of the Spasm Medicine, judging from Jiao San's performance, it was likely to be used in the Immortal Mansion.

He had originally only been a little curious about the Spasm Medicine, but now that he was also going to enter the Immortal Mansion, he might as well refine one. As the saying goes, better safe than sorry, perhaps it could bring him a bit of good fortune.

Given the power of the pill tribulation displayed by the Spasm Medicine, which didn't belong to the category of Dao Pills, refining it near Wumeng Island might attract everyone's attention, so he had come here from afar.

Thanks to Jiao San, he was already quite skilled in refining the Void Essence Pill. Immediately, his hands moved like flying, quickly urging the pill furnace...

Just as Han Li was concentrating on refining the Void Essence Pill, in the sky above another unknown island countless miles away, a middle-aged man in a blue robe was standing with his hands behind his back.

This person was none other than Luo Qinghai, the Palace Master of Cangliu Palace.

His brows were furrowed, and his face was faintly irritable, quite different from his usual calm image of being in control.

Behind Luo Qinghai stood Nan Ke Meng, the delicate youth who looked like a woman.

His expression was also not very good at the moment, his delicate eyebrows furrowed together.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

Just then, a blue escape light appeared in the distant horizon.

The two immediately sensed it and turned to look over.

The blue escape light flickered and appeared in front of Luo Qinghai and the other person. The light converged, revealing a middle-aged man with a beard.

As soon as the man appeared, he was about to clasp his fist to salute the former, but he was stopped by Luo Qinghai with a wave of his hand.

"No need to be so polite. Have you discovered anything?"

"Reporting to the Palace Master, the seven of us have searched the areas we are responsible for several times, but we still haven't found anything." The bearded man hesitated and shook his head.

Hearing this, Luo Qinghai's expression didn't change, but Nan Ke Meng clearly felt the temperature of the surrounding air drop a few degrees.

"Palace Master, should we continue..." the bearded man asked hesitantly.

"Continue. Expand the search area, and don't miss a single trace." Luo Qinghai's eyes narrowed, and he sternly instructed.

"Yes." The bearded man agreed, turned around, and transformed into an escape light, flying away.

"Master, could it be that the information we received is not accurate, and the Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion did not descend into this Black Wind Sea?" Nan Ke Meng walked over and said.

"No, the various signs here in the Black Wind Sea have become increasingly obvious in recent years, and they are undoubtedly signs of the Immortal Mansion's emergence. Moreover, the Underworld Cold Mountain River Diagram also has a response here. The Immortal Mansion must have descended here." Luo Qinghai shook his head.

"Then why can't we find the entrance? According to the records, every time the Immortal Mansion appears, as long as we follow the map, it shouldn't be difficult to find." Nan Ke Meng said somewhat puzzled.

"There is only one possibility..." Luo Qinghai's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said.

"What..." Nan Ke Meng was stunned.

Luo Qinghai didn't answer him. He turned his hand over and took out a blue mirror, chanting incantations to activate it.

The mirror immediately grew several times larger, emitting circles of dazzling blue light to the surroundings.

Vague images appeared on the mirror surface, changing rapidly. After a long while, it stabilized, revealing a middle-aged man with a purplish-red face, wearing a feather crown, looking extraordinary.

"Junior Brother Fan, how are things going?" Luo Qinghai asked, his tone much gentler than when he was facing the bearded man just now.

"No, the people from the Northern Cold Immortal Palace, as well as some of the main figures from Black Wind Island, suddenly disappeared from Black Wind Island some time ago. The three of us searched in many ways, but we couldn't find any trace of them." The feather-crowned man in the mirror shook his head.

Hearing this, Luo Qinghai's face became even gloomier.

Hearing this, Nan Ke Meng also understood and said, "Master, do you think that the current situation is caused by the people from the Northern Cold Immortal Palace doing something?"

"Most likely, Xiao Jinhan used some secret technique to seal the entrance. Otherwise, with less than a year left before the Immortal Mansion opens, the Immortal Mansion entrance should have appeared no matter what." Luo Qinghai pondered.

"Although I don't know much about the Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion, I also know that the Immortal Mansion entrance is actually a place where the spatial interfaces of two realms intersect. It's definitely not something that can be sealed in a short period of time, and the commotion must be huge. We couldn't have been completely unaware." Nan Ke Meng frowned.

"Hehe, I'm afraid he has some special means this time, judging the location of the entrance in advance and setting up a restriction to seal it in advance." Luo Qinghai snorted coldly and said.

Hearing this, Nan Ke Meng opened his mouth, seemingly a little incredulous.

"Palace Master, there is not much time left before the Immortal Mansion opens. What do we do now?" the feather-crowned man in the mirror asked.

"We must find the Immortal Mansion entrance no matter what. You continue to search for the whereabouts of the people from the Northern Cold Immortal Palace and the Black Wind Island Lord. So many of them can't disappear like smoke. Following the clues will always lead to some leads. When necessary, extreme measures are also acceptable." After a moment of contemplation, Luo Qinghai slowly said with profound meaning.

"Yes." The feather-crowned man agreed, and his figure flickered, disappearing from the mirror surface.

Luo Qinghai pointed his finger and the blue mirror quickly shrank, flying into his sleeve.

After standing in place for a while, he suddenly waved his hand and released a blue light, enveloping himself and Nan Ke Meng, transforming into an escape light and flying away.
