A blue light orb hovered in mid-air, slowly rotating, with wisps of crystalline, snow-like blue light radiating from it. A faint layer of white mist also emanated from within, further obscuring the already hazy landscape and architecture, lending it a touch of ethereal, immortal charm.

"The Immortal Mansion has appeared!"

After a brief silence, someone shouted, and many present took a cold breath. Apart from the Golden Immortal realm cultivators leading the various forces, most of the others showed expressions of inexplicable excitement.

"It seems this is the rumored Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion."

Han Li muttered to himself. He moved his divine sense, scanning the blue light orb. Immediately, he felt a thunderclap explode in his ears, and his soul trembled violently.

He was startled, but his expression remained unchanged. He quickly withdrew his divine sense.

Stealing glances around, he noticed that many people present had rather unpleasant expressions. Clearly, they had also used their divine sense to probe the entrance and suffered backlash.

Even Han Li, with divine sense comparable to a Golden Immortal cultivator, suffered backlash and found it difficult to peer into. Ordinary True Immortal cultivators fared even worse. As for the Golden Immortal cultivators, although they didn't show it on the surface, they didn't seem to have made much progress.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, Fellow Daoist Feng, aren't the two of you going to take the lead?" Xiao Jinhan chuckled and asked.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao is mistaken. Immortal Palace led everyone here and protected this place so thoroughly that it wasn't sabotaged before the Immortal Mansion's emergence. The qualification to enter first naturally belongs to Immortal Palace. Fellow Daoist Feng, wouldn't you agree?" Luo Qinghai said with a smile, teasing.

Feng Du's zombified face already lacked expression. He merely snorted coldly, without saying anything.

"Since the two of you are so polite, then I'll take the first step." Before Xiao Jinhan could speak, Qu Ling was not at all polite. She took out a tattered Underworld Cold Rivers and Mountains Map and gently shook it. A large amount of light poured out from it, enveloping her as she flew into the blue light.

This woman was decisive. From speaking to flying into the blue light, it took only a breath or two, surprising everyone around. Then, they became somewhat restless.

Han Li watched Qu Ling's figure disappear into the blue light, a hint of imperceptible darkness flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinhan merely turned and said to Xue Ying and the others, "You come in with me, the rest stay here." Then, he flicked his wrist and released the tattered Underworld Cold Rivers and Mountains Map.

A layer of deep blue light poured out from the scroll, enveloping the eight members of Immortal Palace, including Xue Ying, and the three Golden Immortals of Candle Dragon Dao, including Ouyang Kuishan, and wrapped them all up.

Then, Xiao Jinhan stepped into the blue light orb within the light of the painting, his figure blurring and disappearing.

The remaining members of Immortal Palace and Black Wind Island all stayed outside.

After everyone from Northern Cold Immortal Palace had entered, Luo Qinghai once again exchanged a few polite words with Feng Du. Seeing that the other party was unmoved, he summoned everyone from Azure Flow Palace, rolled up his sleeves, and used the Underworld Cold Rivers and Mountains Map to wrap them up, flying into the blue light together.

After everyone from Azure Flow Palace had also entered, Feng Du finally glanced at the One-Eyed Sect Master. The One-Eyed Sect Master understood and hurriedly gathered everyone from Hidden Spirit Sect to enter the blue light.

After the three major forces and Qu Ling took the lead in entering the secret realm entrance, almost half of the people present were gone. The atmosphere was not as tense as before, and the other forces naturally did not want to lag behind, becoming restless.

The pockmarked old man from Ghost Cry Sect first spoke with the Southern Li Clan cultivators, then walked towards Han Li and his group.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, the Southern Li Clan will enter first, and we from Ghost Cry Sect will follow closely behind. We'll wait for you to come in, and then we'll join forces and act together." The pockmarked old man said.

"Fellow Daoist Chen is right, that's exactly what I had in mind." Upon hearing this, Hu Yan Daoist smiled and said.

"Then we'll take our leave first." Seeing that the Southern Li Clan cultivators had already entered the blue light, the pockmarked old man quickly bid farewell and walked back to his sect's ranks.

"Let's go too." Seeing that everyone from Ghost Cry Sect had entered, Hu Yan Daoist said to the others.

Xu Yangzi signaled the members of his sect to gather around, and they all stood together. His gaze swept over Lu Yuqing, who was standing next to Han Li, still showing some dissatisfaction.

"Although there are many spiritual treasures and materials in the Immortal Mansion secret realm, it's also full of dangers. After entering, everyone should try to stay together as much as possible and not disperse." Hu Yan Daoist instructed.

After saying that, he also took out a painting. After performing a spell on it, spiritual light poured out and wrapped up the twelve of them, flying into the blue light of the entrance.

The moment he entered the blue light orb, Han Li felt a buzzing in his ears, and his vision suddenly turned snow white. Almost all of his five senses were lost, and it seemed that only a vague consciousness remained.

This feeling was indescribable, yet very uncomfortable. Fortunately, it didn't last long. After only a dozen breaths, everything returned to normal.

Han Li's consciousness gradually returned to normal, and he only felt gusts of wind whistling in his ears, causing a slight pain in his eardrums.

As far as his eyes could see, it was a pure white world of flying snow. The surroundings were filled with chilling cold, and in the extreme distance, there were huge blizzards, like dragons winding and connecting to the earth, causing one's heart to tremble.

A piece of green light poured out from his body, forming a thin light screen outside his body, separating the fluttering snow. However, he could still feel wisps of cold seeping into his bones, penetrating into his body.

After scanning around, he discovered that the people from Northern Cold Immortal Palace and the other forces who had entered earlier were all gone.

"It's so cold..." Lu Yuqing, who was beside him, had already released her protective spiritual light, but her beautiful eyes were still trembling slightly from the cold, and a layer of crystal ice flowers had formed on her eyelashes. She cried out softly.

The crimson robes of the True Flame Sect people shone brightly, and illusory flame patterns vaguely surged on the surface, emanating waves of heat.

But even so, their condition wasn't much better. Apart from Xu Yangzi and the other three Golden Immortals, whose expressions were slightly better, the others were pale and shivering all over.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, please activate the Rivers and Mountains Map to protect everyone." Xu Yangzi looked at Hu Yan Daoist and said.

Hu Yan Daoist nodded slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, the tattered Underworld Cold Rivers and Mountains Map immediately appeared, unfolding in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, a deep blue spherical light barrier magnified from the scroll, enveloping the dozen or so of them.

Entering the light barrier, the sound of the wind around them immediately weakened, and the unbearable bone-chilling cold was also isolated.

"The people from Southern Li Clan and Ghost Cry Sect are gone..." Yun Ni stood beside Hu Yan Daoist and said.

"They are just from a ghost cultivation sect and a remote barbarian tribe, how could they understand the principle of keeping their word? Most likely they were unwilling to lag behind and left first..." Elder Zhen Yun sneered.

"Not necessarily. The words that Chen Pi said when he took the initiative to contact us before were not false. Compared to the behemoths like Northern Cold Immortal Palace, Azure Flow Palace and Hidden Spirit Sect, we are ultimately weak. It is still necessary to band together. At least the alliance is more beneficial than harmful in the early stages. They wouldn't break the agreement on their own just to compete for the first opportunity." Xu Yangzi had a different opinion and shook his head.

Hu Yan Daoist looked at Han Li with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Martial Uncle, there seems to be some spatial power mixed in the blizzard here. They may have been teleported to another place and are no longer with us." Han Li thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, I also think this is possible. Since we can't find them for the time being, let's leave here first. In any case, be careful first. You must all stay by my side and absolutely cannot leave the range of the Underworld Cold Rivers and Mountains Map's light barrier." Hu Yan Daoist thought for a moment and said.

"Yes." Everyone quickly responded.

Hu Yan Daoist heard this and was about to call everyone to set off when Han Li's voice suddenly rang in his ears:

"Senior, I have fulfilled my promise and entered this Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion with you. Can you give me the last three levels of the True Words Transformation Wheel Sutra now?"

"You brat, don't you even trust this old man? We just entered the Immortal Mansion secret realm, and haven't done anything yet, and you're already asking me for the reward!" Hu Yan Daoist was slightly stunned and replied.

"Senior said before that after entering, you can give me the fourth level of the cultivation method first." Han Li heard this and smiled as he transmitted his voice back.

Hu Yan Daoist also understood Han Li's personality, so he didn't care too much.

He activated the Underworld Cold Rivers and Mountains Map with one hand, and with the other, he took off a storage pouch from his waist and handed it to Han Li.

"The Immortal Mansion is full of dangers after entering. There are some life-saving items here, you should keep them safe." Hu Yan Daoist said seriously.

Han Li cautiously reached out to take the bag, opened the bag and explored it slightly with his divine sense, and thanked him excitedly, "Thank you, Uncle."

Seeing this, everyone only thought that it was an ordinary gift from an elder to a younger generation and didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Which way should we go now? It seems that the surroundings are all the same." Han Li asked after putting away the storage bag.

Just now, he had used the Spirit Eye divine ability to probe the surroundings. No matter which direction he looked, he could only see a vast expanse of white, and he couldn't distinguish distance or direction at all.

Hu Yan Daoist heard this and didn't speak, frowning tightly as he looked at the Underworld Cold Rivers and Mountains Map in front of him, trying to find some clues from it.

"Look over there, there seems to be an exit..." Lu Yuqing suddenly pointed in a direction and called out.

Hearing the sound, everyone looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw a fist-sized, blurry aquamarine light spot in the void in the extreme distance. If they didn't concentrate their minds and look carefully, they wouldn't be able to find it at all.

Han Li knew that Lu Yuqing's spirit eyes were extraordinary, so he didn't find it strange. It was just that he had also looked at that location just now, and there was no blue light spot. It seemed that it had just appeared.

Hu Yan Daoist took a deep look at Lu Yuqing, a trace of surprise and doubt in his eyes. After all, even with his Golden Immortal cultivation, he hadn't been able to notice this at first.

So, under the protection of the spherical light barrier, everyone began to rush towards the direction of the blue light spot.
