Chapter 7: A Request

The burst of blue light lasted for about a dozen breaths before slowly receding, and the blue light gate returned to its calm state.

"Judging by this situation, some sealing is indeed needed. How about this, let each force present send one person to cast a spell together, so everyone can rest assured, what do you think?" Feng Du nodded and suggested.

"That's right." Luo Qinghai echoed.

The others naturally wouldn't object. After a brief discussion led by Xiao Jinhan and Feng Du, except for Qu Ling, each force sent one person, all of whom were Golden Immortals. Feng Du was responsible for drafting the restrictions, and Xiao Jinhan oversaw the operation.

From Han Li's side, the person sent was Xu Yangzi.

The six Golden Immortal cultivators immediately floated in mid-air, surrounding the blue light gate, chanting incantations.

Various colored lights erupted from the six individuals, intertwining and wrapping around each other, gradually forming a light cage resembling a rainbow, enveloping the blue light gate.

The surface of the blue light gate immediately trembled violently, emitting bursts of shockwaves that were invisible to the naked eye, sweeping out in all directions. Wave after wave crashed against the walls of the light cage, which was not yet fully formed, causing it to tremble violently and erupt with bursts of dazzling light, almost blinding people.

Layers of ripples undulated on the walls of the light cage, as if it would shatter at any moment. However, as the crowd sped up their hand seals, it gradually stabilized. But since the light cage had not yet fully formed, remnants of the shockwaves still pierced through the walls, continuing to sweep outwards.

Those in the cave with weaker cultivation were unable to stand their ground under the push of these aftershocks, constantly retreating until they were pressed against the cave walls before they could finally stand firm.

As a result, the previously well-ordered formation of forces became somewhat chaotic.

Although Han Li could withstand the aftershocks of power, he pretended to lean against a mountain wall so as not to attract attention.

Looking at the six people casting the spell, a thought suddenly arose in his mind.

According to Huyan Daoren, there were a total of eight paintings of the Nether Cold Rivers and Mountains Map, but only seven forces had gathered in Ci City. Could it be that there was another force that had not arrived?

Such an obvious question, all the Golden Immortals present were old foxes who had lived for countless years, so they obviously couldn't have failed to notice it, they just didn't show it on the surface.

Just as thoughts were swirling in Han Li's mind, a somewhat familiar, clear female voice suddenly rang in his ear:

"Brother Liu."

Han Li was shocked to hear this. He saw a person standing not far from him, who was none other than Lu Yuqing. Her beautiful eyes were constantly glancing at him, with a hint of a smile in her eyes.

Due to the earlier chaos in the cave, the positions of everyone except the Golden Immortal cultivators of the major forces had changed somewhat. He didn't know when this woman had arrived here.

Han Li raised an eyebrow, a look of helplessness on his face, and replied via voice transmission, "Miss Lu, I really can't hide anything from you."

"I didn't expect to see Brother Liu here. It seems you're also interested in this Nether Cold Immortal Mansion." Lu Yuqing said with a smile via voice transmission.

"There are many treasures in the Nether Cold Immortal Mansion, so of course I'm interested. But you and I now belong to different forces. Now it seems that Black Wind Island is a force under the Northern Cold Immortal Palace. It's not appropriate for Miss Lu to contact me at this time, right?" Han Li said via voice transmission.

"Brother Liu, you're overthinking it. The Northern Cold Immortal Palace brought the people of our Black Wind Island here to act as servants and to prevent the news of this entrance from leaking out. Now that the news has already been leaked, the people of our Black Wind Island are already redundant here and have become dispensable. Moreover, the situation is chaotic right now, so no one will notice us." Lu Yuqing said quickly.

Han Li's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said nothing.

"As Brother Liu said, time is tight, and I have something important to discuss with Brother Liu, so I'll keep it short." Lu Yuqing paused for a moment, and continued.

"Please speak, Miss Lu." Han Li was slightly surprised in his heart, but there was no change in his expression on his face.

"The matter is actually simple. I want to enter the Nether Cold Immortal Mansion, and I want to ask the force you belong to to take me in." Lu Yuqing didn't beat around the bush and said directly.

"Isn't your Black Wind Island a force under the Northern Cold Immortal Palace? If you want to enter the Immortal Mansion, why don't you have them take you?" Han Li was stunned when he heard this, and asked.

"Brother Liu, don't you know? One Nether Cold Rivers and Mountains Map can only bring twelve people into the Immortal Mansion. The number of people is limited, and the Northern Cold Immortal Palace doesn't even have enough for themselves, so how could they give our Black Wind Island a spot?" Lu Yuqing said somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"So there's such a thing..." Han Li murmured. Huyan Daoren didn't tell him about this.

However, he had actually vaguely noticed that the number of people in each force seemed to be twelve, just as Lu Yuqing said. However, there were many things that distracted him before, and since he didn't need to worry about entering, he didn't think much about it.

"Miss Lu, you and I are old acquaintances, and our relationship is not ordinary. Although I really want to help you, you've also seen that our side is already full of people, and I'm powerless to help." Thoughts flashed in Han Li's mind, and he declined tactfully.

His entry into the Immortal Mansion this time was already an act of adventure, especially after he saw so many Golden Immortal cultivators gathered here, he only wanted to keep everything low-key, help Huyan Daoren get what he wanted, and then obtain the subsequent cultivation methods of the True Words Transformation Sutra.

Although Han Li believed that there would be no problem if he asked True Person Huyan for a spot, this would definitely offend the True Flame Sect, and even if Huyan Daoren found a force to cover up, he didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

"Brother Liu, don't rush to refuse. I'm not making this request without any conditions. Our Lu family guards the Black Wind Sea Area and actually discovered the location of this entrance earlier than the people of the Northern Cold Immortal Palace. At that time, we obtained a stone tablet from here, which recorded part of the map inside the Immortal Mansion, as well as some other information. Although there are opportunities in the Immortal Mansion, there are also many dangers. If Brother Liu takes me in, I'm willing to share this information with you." Lu Yuqing seemed to know Han Li's concerns and said via voice transmission.

Han Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his heart was immediately moved.

They were completely in the dark about the situation inside the Immortal Mansion. If what this woman said was true, having a map to guide them would indeed be much safer.

"Is what you said true?" Han Li pondered for a moment and asked to confirm.

"I'm willing to swear an oath with my heart demon. If there is even one false word, I will definitely be invaded by the heart demon in the future and die without a burial place." Lu Yuqing said with a serious tone via voice transmission.

"Okay, if that's the case, I can mention this request to the team leader, but I can't guarantee whether he will agree." Han Li nodded slightly after a moment of silence.

"Sister has always been very confident in Brother Liu's abilities." Lu Yuqing said with a smile via voice transmission, not worried at all.

Han Li frowned slightly, walked towards Huyan Daoren not far away, and roughly recounted his conversation with Lu Yuqing via voice transmission.

"What! This woman has a map of the Immortal Mansion!?" Huyan Daoren was shocked when he heard this, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"I've had some contact with this woman before, and I also have some understanding of her. Judging from what she said, what she said is mostly true." Han Li said.

"If that's the case, then bring this woman along." Huyan Daoren nodded after pondering for a moment.

"What about the True Flame Sect..." Han Li hesitated.

"I will arrange it myself." Huyan Daoren replied.

Han Li heard this, turned his head to look at Lu Yuqing, and told her.

A hint of joy flashed across Lu Yuqing's beautiful eyes. She nodded slightly to Han Li from afar, and turned around to walk back to the people from Black Wind Island.

At this time, the six people near the light gate had finished casting their spells, and a thick colored light curtain emerged, enveloping the blue light gate.

The cold air inside the blue light gate surged, and the blue light flickered on and off, constantly impacting the colored light curtain. But the light curtain after its formation was extremely solid, and no matter how the cold air inside impacted it, it remained motionless, even more powerful than the restrictions previously imposed by the Northern Cold Immortal Palace.

"Fellow Daoist Feng is indeed a master of formations. Even a restriction set casually is so extraordinary. I admire you." Seeing this, Xiao Jinhan cupped his hands at Feng Du.

"Palace Master Xiao is too kind." Feng Du said lightly, found a place in the cave, and sat down cross-legged.

The others from the Fuling Sect sat down around him.

Xiao Jinhan looked at Feng Du, the light in his eyes flickered slightly, turned around, and walked back to the crowd of the Northern Cold Immortal Palace.

The other forces also each sought out a place and waited quietly for the Immortal Mansion to descend.

The space inside the cave was not large, and everyone sitting down almost completely filled all the space.

Xu Yangzi also walked back at this time, and Han Li and the others found a place to sit down.

Huyan Daoren walked to Xu Yangzi's side and whispered a few words to him.

Xu Yangzi's face was first filled with anger, and he glared fiercely at Han Li.

However, as Huyan Daoren continued to speak, the anger on Xu Yangzi's face slowly dissipated, and he finally nodded reluctantly.

Seeing this scene, Han Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then closed his eyes.

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

In the cave, the blue light gate had become more than twice as large as before, and the patterns on the surface were extremely clear. It really looked like a space gate, and entering it would lead to another world.

At this moment, a ball of blue light was suspended in the light gate, rolling violently and emitting a dazzling blue light.

A space passage could be vaguely seen in the light ball, not knowing where it led to, giving people an extremely deep feeling.

At this moment, everyone in the cave had stood up, their eyes burning with heat as they looked at the scene in front of them.

The blue light gate trembled gently, and the nearby void also trembled with a buzzing sound, even causing the entire cave to shake.

Although the colored light cage around the light gate was still dazzling at this moment, it was obvious that it could no longer confine the light gate.

Seeing this, Xu Yangzi and the other six Golden Immortals floated in mid-air again at Feng Du's request, constantly casting spells to try to reinforce it.

But no matter how the six people cast their spells, the light emitted from the blue light gate became brighter and brighter, gradually pushing the colored light cage away.

The blue light ball inside the gate rolled violently twice, and suddenly swelled up, instantly becoming several times larger, almost completely filling the entire light gate, and it flickered wildly, expanding and contracting.

At the same time, layers of water-like blue light erupted from the light gate, and wherever they passed, the void was violently distorted and blurred.

Before long, the colored light cage outside the light gate shattered with a loud bang, like an egg.

The bodies of the six Golden Immortal cultivators shook violently and were blown away. However, with the six people's cultivation, they activated their protective secret techniques in time, so they were naturally not injured.

"The time is almost up, there's no need to continue casting spells." Feng Du said lightly, his eyes burning as he looked at the light gate.

Seeing this, the others also stopped their hands.

Just at this moment, with a loud "rumbling" sound!

The entire blue light gate shattered with a bang, turning into a ball of dazzling blue light. Deep in the light ball, looming, the phantoms of mountains, rivers, palaces, and pavilions emerged, densely packed and of various colors, not knowing how many.
