Chapter 14: Exposure

In mid-air, Leng Yan Old Ancestor and Xiong Shan looked at the island below, the excitement on their faces fleeting.

"It seems that no one has found this place since the Immortal Mansion opened." Leng Yan Old Ancestor glanced around and said.

"That's for sure. This place is extremely remote. If we hadn't been chased by that group of Frost Beasts and fled in panic, we wouldn't have discovered it." Xiong Shan said, his gaze fixed on the palace in the rosy light, his eyes slowly filling with fervor.

"Seeing Daoist Xiong Shan's expression, it seems you are confident! It seems you've made a lot of preparations over the years." Leng Yan Old Ancestor glanced at Xiong Shan and chuckled.

"Daoist Leng Yan must not have been idle these years either. Your *Da Zhou Xing Yuan Gong* is probably perfected by now. You probably didn't use your full strength when facing those Frost Beasts earlier." Xiong Shan snorted softly.

"Daoist, you are mistaken. How could I, with my meager strength, compare to you?" Leng Yan Old Ancestor raised his eyebrows, then laughed heartily.

The two looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

The scene fell silent again, and the atmosphere around them slowly became somewhat subtle.

"Haha, we haven't entered Youhan Palace yet, so there's no need for us to flatter each other like this. Moreover, we have different goals inside Youhan Palace, so there's no need to start any disputes now. Let's work together to break this restriction first, lest something unexpected happen." Leng Yan Old Ancestor suddenly laughed.

"Indeed." Xiong Shan also smiled.

After saying that, he patted his storage bag on his waist.

As a result, a golden light flashed, and a golden sword appeared.

Then, a green light flashed, and a green wooden ruler appeared beside him.

Then a blue light flashed, and a blue flag appeared next to it.

The three treasures emitted startling spiritual fluctuations, although they hadn't reached the level of Immortal Artifacts, they were not far off.

Leng Yan Old Ancestor also waved his hand without a word, and two rays of red and yellow light flashed, and a crimson alms bowl and a yellow seal appeared in front of him, both of which were top-grade spiritual treasures.

As soon as the five spiritual treasures were sacrificed, they immediately transformed into five dazzling balls of spiritual light and shot towards the sky. After a flash, they disappeared without a trace in mid-air.

A moment later, the void in mid-air trembled, and a brilliant five-colored glow emerged, bright and incomparable, enveloping the area dozens of miles below.

The five-colored glow spun rapidly, and in the deepest part of the light, one could vaguely see the five treasures, arranged in a circle, forming a magic array.

Within the range covered by the five-colored glow, the void suddenly sank, and the flow of earth spiritual energy completely stopped, as if frozen by an invisible force.

In the distance, in the mist, Han Li's eyes narrowed as he saw this scene, and blue light flickered within them.

After looking at it for a few times, he nodded slowly.

"Brother Liu, what kind of supernatural power is this? It looks very powerful." Lu Yuqing asked softly.

"These two are using five extremely pure Five Elements spiritual treasures to perform the Great Five Elements Spirit Seizing True Light." Han Li thought for a moment and said.

"Great Five Elements Spirit Seizing True Light!" Lu Yuqing was stunned when she heard this.

While Han Li and Lu Yuqing were talking, Leng Yan Old Ancestor and Xiong Shan had already begun to cast spells, chanting incantations.

The five-colored glow rotated for a moment, then quickly condensed, soon forming a substantial five-colored light pillar that shone on the black rosy light.

The black rosy light seemed to be stimulated and suddenly brightened.

Countless slender black lights emerged from the rosy light in a rush, like black sword qi, gathered together, and transformed into a black sword dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it greeted the five-colored light pillar.

The two collided with a bang, and the black sword dragon's huge body coiled around, actually holding up the five-colored light pillar.

The black sword dragon roared, using its claws and tail to grab and bite at the light pillar fiercely.

Streams of sharp black sword qi shot out from the sword dragon's claws and mouth, slashing fiercely at the light pillar.

The five-colored light pillar was extremely stable, and no matter how the sword dragon bit or the black sword qi slashed, it remained motionless.

Leng Yan Old Ancestor and Xiong Shan chanted incantations, their hands forming hand seals.

Within the light pillar, the five-colored spiritual light spun and rolled rapidly, and five-colored spheres emerged within the light pillar.

These spheres were the size of millstones, and each one was translucent, looking quite beautiful, but giving people a feeling of heart-pounding fear.

The five-colored spiritual light at the forefront of the light pillar flashed, and those five-colored light spheres shot out from here, hitting the black sword dragon.

Rumble!

These five-colored spiritual spheres exploded, turning into large swathes of crystal light, engulfing the black sword dragon's body.

The sword dragon let out a wail, and its huge body collapsed with a bang, as if made of paper and unable to withstand a single blow.

Lu Yuqing's eyes widened as she saw this scene, revealing an unbelievable look.

Han Li's expression was calm, and he nodded slowly.

The five-colored light spheres defeated the sword dragon in one fell swoop and hit the black rosy light below without stopping.

The black rosy light suddenly twisted and trembled violently, persisting for several breaths.

Accompanied by a loud explosion, the black rosy light was finally torn apart, turning into a sky full of black spiritual light and scattering away.

However, under the black rosy light, the void fluctuated slightly, and a layer of green light curtain emerged, the surface of which shone with spiritual light, seeming no less inferior than the black rosy light.

Leng Yan Old Ancestor and Xiong Shan didn't seem surprised by this.

The five-colored light pillar didn't stop at all, continuing to fall downwards, and clusters of five-colored spiritual spheres continued to spew out from it, hitting the green light curtain.

The green light curtain shone brightly, and streams of green whirlwind emerged, meeting the five-colored spiritual spheres.

Rumble!

A series of startling loud noises emerged.

Although the changes in the green light curtain were mysterious, and the power of the green whirlwind was also powerful, it only lasted for a quarter of an hour in front of the five-colored spiritual spheres.

With a loud ripping sound, the green light curtain was still broken through and shattered.

A white light flashed, and under the green light curtain, a layer of dense white light emerged again, condensing into a white restriction, blocking the five-colored light pillar.

Han Li's eyebrows rose when he saw this scene.

It seemed that the restrictions outside the palace were more complex than he had imagined.

Moreover, these restrictions were not weak in power. Even if he personally took action, it would take a lot of effort to break them.

However, judging from the expressions of Leng Yan Old Ancestor and Xiong Shan, they seemed to have known this for a long time and should have prepared methods to break them.

Leng Yan Old Ancestor and Xiong Shan continuously formed hand seals, and the five-colored light pillar became brighter and brighter. More five-colored light spheres emerged and hit the white light curtain.

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, two or three hours had passed.

Above the island, loud rumbling sounds continued, and various colors of spiritual light flashed wildly.

The five-colored light pillar was now several times thicker than before, and countless five-colored light spheres shot out, hitting a layer of hazy restriction.

The gray restriction emitted an extremely dense gray light, forming a dense gray cloud.

Clusters of five-colored light spheres hit it, then exploded violently.

This seemingly ordinary gray cloud was surprisingly strong, only trembling and being blasted away a lot, but still firmly blocked all the attacks of the light spheres.

Leng Yan Old Ancestor and Xiong Shan now had a hint of fatigue on their faces.

During this period, the two had successively broken through no less than ten different types of restrictions.

These restrictions were more powerful than the last, and the previously invincible five-colored light spheres had now slowly lost that kind of power.

However, the continuous bombardment of these waves of light spheres still had an effect, and the gray cloud slowly became thinner.

After half an hour, the last trace of gray cloud was finally blasted away, revealing the gray restriction below.

Leng Yan Old Ancestor and Xiong Shan simultaneously formed hand seals quickly and shouted in a low voice.

The five-colored glow suddenly intensified, and nearly a hundred five-colored light spheres suddenly spewed out from the glow.

These light spheres did not immediately strike down, but quickly gathered together, transforming into a huge five-colored light sphere the size of a house.

The light sphere was no longer translucent, but rather as solid as substance, emitting horrifying spiritual power fluctuations.

The huge light sphere rotated slightly in mid-air, then suddenly fell, hitting the gray restriction, and then exploded violently.

Rumble!

A five-colored sun with a diameter of over a hundred zhang flashed in the void.

A visible wave of air emerged, sweeping out in all directions crazily, and the void trembled.

The gray light curtain twisted violently a few times, then exploded with a "boom".

Seeing this, Leng Yan Old Ancestor and Xiong Shan relaxed their faces and exhaled lightly at the same time.

In the distance, in the mist, Han Li and Lu Yuqing also showed joy on their faces when they saw the restriction being broken.

As the gray restriction shattered, turning into a sky full of gray light, it quickly scattered away.

However, at this moment, the void below fluctuated again.

Streams of starlight emerged, and a layer of starry light curtain emerged.

Countless starlight spots twinkled on the light curtain, and they slowly rotated according to an extremely mysterious pattern, like the real night sky stars.

"There's more! How many restrictions are there!" Lu Yuqing couldn't help but say when she saw this scene.

"Don't worry, this should be the last layer of restriction. It's really hard for these two." Han Li's eyes flashed with blue light, and he smiled slightly.

At this moment, his expression suddenly changed.

A dazzling starlight suddenly emerged from Han Li's body, enveloping his body as well.

The source of the starlight was actually the storage bag on his waist.

This starlight was extremely dense, with countless star patterns faintly visible within it, actually breaking through his concealment supernatural power.

Han Li's face changed drastically, and Lu Yuqing, who was beside him, was also shocked by this sudden scene, her beautiful face paling. She quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from shouting.

The starry light curtain in the distance also suddenly brightened, and the star spots on it bloomed with dazzling light.

These star patterns, which were originally slowly rotating, suddenly accelerated their speed, operating several times faster, constantly evolving and forming mysterious star charts.

The starry light curtain and the starlight on Han Li's body seemed to resonate with each other.

Leng Yan Old Ancestor and Xiong Shan were obviously startled and suddenly turned their heads to look into the distance.

After experiencing the initial confusion, Han Li immediately reacted and was about to investigate the situation in the storage bag.

With a "swoosh", a ball of dazzling starlight flew out of the storage bag automatically, but it was a cyan stone slab.
