“Ghost Wizard Fellow Daoist, this Ghost Domain Marshland before us seems calm, but it probably isn't a good place either, right?” Han Li said, ignoring Jin Tong.

“Hehe, where in this Netherworld is there a good place? Being able to see such a scene before us is already pretty good. The miasma in this Ghost Domain Marshland is thick and lingers for a long time. After years of vaporous steaming, it has already formed five-colored poisonous clouds in the sky. However, with your Grand Luo bodies, as long as you don't fly high and enter the poisonous clouds directly, you'll be fine,” Ghost Wizard chuckled in response.

“That's not a problem. I'm just asking where exactly this Yama Lord’s Mansion is located,” Han Li asked.

“Not far, it's almost there,” Ghost Wizard said.

“You've already said that no less than five or six times. Is this Yama Lord’s Mansion actually in this swamp or not?” Ti Hun glanced at Ghost Wizard and asked with a frown.

“I always feel like this place is very desolate. It doesn't look like there are any buildings here at all. You're not trying to trick us, are you?” Jin Tong also said with a suspicious look.

“How would I dare to trick you! This Yama Lord’s Mansion is actually on an isolated island in the middle of the marshland, but it's surrounded by a strange grand formation of laws, and no one has ever been able to get in… As for how strange it is, you'll understand when you see it,” Ghost Wizard said quickly.

“In that case, please lead the way, Ghost Wizard Fellow Daoist. We'll go take a look right now,” Han Li said.

“From this peninsula, go west for about 300,000 miles, and you'll see a forest. The trees there are quite special… Let's go there first…” Ghost Wizard said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Li and the others flew into the air, but they only flew close to the water surface of the marshland, about a hundred zhang above, flying low.

A moment later, at the end of their vision, a black, withered tree appeared, several hundred zhang tall.

The trunk of this tree was originally quite thick, but it was completely black and shriveled, as if it had been burned into charcoal, without any vitality. Its branches were scattered and leafless, like hideous ghost claws stretching in all directions.

Its vines hung down from the branches like weeping willows, thousands upon thousands of them, densely covered with countless decaying corpses. At first glance, they were in various forms, making one's scalp tingle.

Behind this withered tree, amid the clouds and miasma, one could still vaguely see similar withered trees every so often, densely packed and extending to the end of one's vision.

Just as Han Li and the others were about to approach, Ghost Wizard suddenly reminded them:

“Those trees are Hanging Corpse Ghost Vines. They're quite troublesome, so don't get too close. We just need to use this area as a coordinate, go north for about 1.7 million miles, look for a swamp rock that looks like a ghost, and then go west from there for 800,000 miles, and we'll reach the island where the Yama Lord’s Mansion is located.”

Han Li and the others immediately stopped and flew north.

……

Under the guidance of Ghost Wizard, Han Li and the others traveled for about three more days, finally arriving at the isolated island in the marshland.

They were still more than a thousand miles away from the island, and it seemed to be surrounded by a layer of barrier. All the miasma and poisonous fog were isolated outside, making the isolated island region clear and bright, looking like a pure land outside the world.

However, Han Li quickly noticed something strange. The barrier contained a powerful temporal law force.

The three of them flew over and hovered outside the barrier, looking at the isolated island inside. It seemed that time inside the barrier had stopped.

The trees on the island were lush and green. They seemed to have just swayed slightly in the breeze, but they were frozen in that instant. Even the birds flying through the treetops maintained the posture of spreading their wings, suspended in the air.

“Could this be the Yama Lord’s Mansion?” Ti Hun glanced around and said.

“That's right, this is it,” Ghost Wizard said.

“Eh? What's going on in here?” Jin Tong asked in surprise.

“This barrier is filled with the power of temporal laws, sealing the time inside. Everything is kept in the state it was in when it was sealed. Over these long years, no one has been able to enter it, let alone set foot on the island,” Ghost Wizard said.

Han Li examined it briefly and said with some doubt:

“This sealing barrier does contain a rich temporal law force, but it's not a devastating killing formation or an indestructible defensive formation. Why hasn't it been broken?”

“Well… Fellow Daoist Han can try it yourself, and you'll know,” Ghost Wizard said hesitantly.

“Hmph! Playing tricks. Just you wait, I'll go try it first,” Jin Tong said with a pout.

With that, her body flashed with golden light. Before Han Li could stop her, she had already rushed into the barrier.

“Wait…”

Han Li only had time to shout out these two words before he was surprised to see that Jin Tong, who had rushed into the barrier with brute force, was wrapped in golden light and instantly returned to the outside of the barrier.

“Hmph! Playing tricks. Just you wait, I'll go try it first,” Jin Tong said with a pout, and rushed up again, covered in golden light.

But a moment later, she returned to the same spot again, saying, “Hmph! Playing tricks. Just you wait, I'll go try it first.” With golden light protecting her body, she crashed into the barrier. The expression on her face was exactly the same as before, as if she was completely unaware of her repeated actions.

After being instantly transmitted back again, Jin Tong was about to crash into the barrier when Han Li grabbed her with a golden palm.

“Uncle, what are you doing? Let me try it,” Jin Tong said, shaking off Han Li's hand.

“You've tried it several times already. It's useless,” Han Li said.

“Uncle, are you seeing things? I haven't tried it even once yet… Ti Hun, do you think Uncle is confused?” Jin Tong said, looking confused.

“Master is not talking nonsense. You have indeed tried it many times,” Ti Hun said.

“No way? How come I don't know?” Jin Tong said, looking bewildered.

Han Li was silent, and he finally understood why Ghost Wizard had said that this place was strange.

“This barrier has the effect of sealing time. Anyone who breaks into it will be affected by the temporal laws, causing them to remain in the state they were in before entering the barrier forever. If no one stops them, I'm afraid it will continue like this forever,” Han Li explained after thinking for a moment.

“I don't seem to understand,” Jin Tong scratched her head and said confusedly.

Ti Hun was also confused.

“It means that it's useless even if you try a million times. You will only be teleported out of the barrier again and again, and you won't even realize it,” Han Li added.

“Hehe, Fellow Daoist Han is indeed a cultivator of the power of temporal laws. Your vision is very accurate. You saw through the effect of this barrier so quickly… However, such repetition will not continue indefinitely. After reaching a certain number of times, the intruder's physical body will be decomposed by the temporal laws, and their immortal spiritual power will flow into the grand formation, nourishing it,” Ghost Wizard's voice also rang out.

Hearing this, Ti Hun and Jin Tong were both shocked, but Han Li did not show any strangeness. He just kept moving his eyes around the surface of the grand formation, as if he was considering something.

“Old thing, why didn't you say so earlier? You want to kill me!” Jin Tong shouted.

“You only tried it seven or eight times. It's okay. To reach the level I mentioned, it takes at least ten thousand times. But for the person involved, unless someone intervenes, they can't feel it at all. That is to say, from the moment he makes a move, his fate is already sealed,” Ghost Wizard said.

“Ghost Wizard Fellow Daoist, do you know how to break this restriction?” Han Li asked.

“Hehe, Fellow Daoist, you're joking again, aren't you? If I knew this, wouldn't this Yama Lord’s Mansion have been mine long ago?” Ghost Wizard chuckled a few times and said.

Hearing this, Han Li knew that he was telling the truth.

“However, one who ties the bell must untie it. Since this barrier was built with temporal laws, then if you want to break it, you must of course start with temporal laws,” Ghost Wizard reminded him.

Hearing this, Han Li seemed to have understood something. He immediately made a series of hand seals and chanted softly.

Immediately, a wave of temporal law fluctuations rippled from his body. Golden light shone brightly behind him, and five temporal law constructs appeared at the same time, surrounding him.

Han Li silently activated the Great Five Elements Illusion World Divine Art technique. With a wave of his hand, the five temporal law constructs shone with golden light, and flew out one by one, occupying the positions of the five elements, and landed on the barrier light curtain.

On the barrier light curtain, five temporal law ripples spread out, expanding from the front, back, left, right, and above respectively. The surface of the barrier rippled slightly wherever they passed, looking like the surface of a lake.

Han Li raised a finger and gently poked the barrier, and a soft "pop" sound rang out.

The light curtain shattered on its own like a bubble.

In an instant, the spiritual energy, turbid air, and poisonous fog between heaven and earth surged in from all directions, rushing towards the isolated island.

It was as if a gust of wind had risen on the island. All the trees swayed again after countless years. The poor birds that had been stagnant on them were submerged by the sudden surge of miasma and fell instantly.

“So fast…” Ghost Wizard said in disbelief.

Han Li did not explain, but only said, “Let's go,” and flew onto the isolated island first. Jin Tong and Ti Hun followed closely behind.

The island was very desolate. All that could be seen were dense ancient trees. Even bare rocks were rarely seen, let alone immortal residences such as pavilions and towers.

However, after landing on the island, Han Li vaguely felt that there was a faint wave of temporal law constantly coming from the middle of the island, attracting him to go there.

The island was densely covered with trees and shrubs. There was not even a mountain path in the middle. Han Li and the others could only wade through the grass to make a path and keep moving forward.

As they went up, the terrain of the island became higher and higher, and the trees were not as dense as they were at first. When they came to the top of the mountain, only low shrubs and thatch remained.

Han Li saw at a glance that half of a broken stone tablet stood in a clump of weeds.
