“Why do you look like that? Is there something wrong with this Immortal Territory?” Jin Tong asked Han Li, puzzled.

“It’s nothing. If I were to cultivate in seclusion, it wouldn't be very safe in any Immortal Territory. It’s better to go to the Outer Territories.” Han Li shook his head, not saying much to Jin Tong.

He waved his hand, sending out a golden light to envelop them and shot towards the sky, quickly passing through the Heavenly Wind Territory and the Azure Underworld Territory, arriving in the Outer Domain space.

Han Li didn't stop, flying deep into the Outer Domain space for a long time before stopping.

He spread out his divine sense and quickly found a safe place, excavating a cave on a giant meteorite and arranging restrictions.

Han Li was already skilled at all of this, completing it quickly, then opened the Flower Branch Space and entered it with Jin Tong.

“Husband, the aura fluctuations outside were strong just now. Are you alright?” Nangong Wan asked with concern upon seeing Han Li appear.

She then saw Jin Tong behind him, her beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and a gentle smile quickly appeared on her face.

“You must be Jin Tong, right? We met in the Lower Realm when you hadn't yet transformed. I didn't expect you to become such a beautiful person now.”

As she spoke, Nangong Wan stepped forward and took Jin Tong’s hand.

“Mother…” Jin Tong seemed unaccustomed to Nangong Wan's friendliness, and said stiffly.

“There's no need for "Mother" or anything like that. Although my husband is your master, that has nothing to do with me, and my cultivation is far inferior to yours now. How can I possibly deserve that title? Just call me by my name.” Nangong Wan said with a smile.

“Fellow cultivator Nangong.” Jin Tong already addressed Han Li as fellow cultivator, and upon hearing this, she didn't stand on ceremony and immediately changed her address, performing a curtsy.

Nangong Wan returned the greeting with a smile.

“Husband, what happened outside just now?” After greeting Jin Tong, Nangong Wan looked at Han Li and asked about the previous question.

“It was just a few conflicts with people, two fights. Wan’er, you don’t need to worry.” Han Li waved his hand, saying casually.

Jin Tong rolled her eyes inwardly upon hearing this.

Indeed, it was just two fights, but the opponents were one Origin Dao Ancestor and Gu Huo Jin, the strongest person in the world.

In Han Li's mouth, these two great figures seemed to have become somewhat insignificant.

It should be known that not long ago, the two of them were doing everything they could to avoid Gu Huo Jin's remote pursuit, and almost fell.

Of course, she knew in her heart that Han Li was doing it so that Nangong Wan wouldn't worry.

“That’s good.” A strange look flashed in Nangong Wan’s eyes, seemingly understanding something, but she didn't ask any further.

“Wan’er, we’ve found a place to cultivate in seclusion now, and we’ll be cultivating for a while…” Han Li told Nangong Wan about his plan.

“That’s perfect, I also want to see your mysterious space.” Nangong Wan's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Han Li immediately made a hand seal to open the spiritual domain, enveloping the Flower Branch Space, and then activated the Light Yin Tianxuan Grand Array and the Mantra Treasure Wheel.

The flow of time within the Flower Branch Space changed instantly, accelerating by hundreds of thousands of times.

Compared to before, his Time Law power had improved a lot, and the time acceleration had become faster again.

“It’s truly magical! The Time Law is indeed worthy of being one of the three supreme laws. I’ve finally witnessed it today!” Nangong Wan looked around, a look of amazement on her face.

“This isn’t something that ordinary Time Laws can achieve… In short, your husband has been studying the Time Law path, and although I wouldn’t dare to claim to be the best in the entire True Immortal Realm, I can still take second place. Even the number one person might not have this ability.” Han Li smiled slyly, jokingly with Nangong Wan for the first time in a long time.

Jin Tong was a little surprised to see the usually serious Han Li joking.

“Don’t be so informal, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?” Nangong Wan rolled her eyes at Han Li.

“Fellow cultivator Han, fellow cultivator Nangong, you guys chat. I’ll go find a place to cultivate in seclusion first.” Jin Tong hurriedly took her leave and flew towards the depths of the Flower Branch Space.

Han Li laughed heartily and waved his hand, taking Nangong Wan into the pavilion.

“Husband, is the upcoming cultivation very important?” Nangong Wan asked.

“I must go all out.” Han Li nodded with a solemn expression.

“You just cultivate in peace, don’t worry about me.” Nangong Wan said understandingly.

Han Li nodded, and with a flip of his hand, he took out a storage magic tool and handed it over.

“Wan’er, I don’t know how long I’ll be cultivating in seclusion this time. There are some pills, Immortal Origin Stones, and other cultivation resources inside. You can take this opportunity to cultivate for a while.”

Nangong Wan didn't stand on ceremony and took the storage magic tool, knowing that only in this way could she truly let him feel at ease.

After reminding Han Li not to be too hasty, she quickly left the pavilion.

Han Li watched Nangong Wan leave, then got up and arranged the formation needed for the Separation Technique in the pavilion. Finally, he took out the Earthly Fiend Incarnation and placed it within the formation.

Immediately afterwards, he carefully laid down layers of restrictions near the pavilion to prevent his power from erupting during the breakthrough, causing unnecessary vibrations.

After doing all this, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and calmed his mind.

…

In front of an unnamed palace in the Heavenly Court.

Gu Huo Jin sat in a wheelchair, holding an earth-yellow round bead in his hand.

The surface of the round bead had a faint yellow light flowing constantly. It was obviously not an ordinary object, exuding an extremely strong Earth Law.

Looking at this round bead, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

However, the joy on his face quickly froze. He closed his eyes, seemingly sensing something.

After a moment, Gu Huo Jin opened his eyes, his brows furrowed.

“In such a short period of time, he actually disappeared without a trace. Perhaps I shouldn't have had any concerns just now. After all, it has come to the final step, and there is no need to care too much…” Gu Huo Jin murmured.

…

Inside the Flower Branch Space.

After a full three days and three nights of meditation, Han Li's body and mind were now in their best condition.

He got up and checked all the arrangements again. This time, he closed his eyes again, circulated his mind, and entered the Divine Sense Space.

“Heh, you finally have time to come see me.” Another Han Li sat here, looked over calmly, and said with a smile.

This person wore the same cyan robe as Han Li, his expression was peaceful, without the ferocity of the Evil Corpse or the kindness of the Good Corpse, his aura was exactly the same as his own.

Han Li's eyebrows wrinkled imperceptibly. He intuitively felt that the difficulty of this separation would be far greater than the previous two times.

He walked to the front of the cyan-robed Han Li and sat down cross-legged.

“You came here to separate me out?” The cyan-robed Han Li asked with a faint smile, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

As he spoke, he pointed, and a stone table appeared between the two, with two cups of clear tea on it.

“That’s right.” Han Li picked up a cup of clear tea, took a sip, and said with an unchanged expression.

“Oh, then do you understand what a Self Corpse is? And how can you separate me out?” The cyan-robed Han Li didn't get angry, but asked.

Han Li fell silent.

Indeed, he knew very little about separating out the Self Corpse, and he didn't have as clear a understanding of what a Self Corpse was as he did of the Evil Corpse and Good Corpse.

Previously, although he had tried to obtain some information about the Self Corpse through the Samsara Mask, the results were minimal, mostly just some relatively general overviews. There was very little that truly involved the separation.

After all, separating the Self Corpse was the last step in separating the three corpses for Da Luo Realm cultivators. Most of the people who had experience or methods for this process were mostly Dao Ancestor Realm, at least Da Luo Realm peak cultivators.

Even if such figures recorded their separation experience back then and passed it on to future generations, it would mostly be shelved and not circulated to the world unless under special circumstances or at a high price.

“Self is yourself. If you want to separate me out, you must kill yourself.” The cyan-robed Han Li seemed to see what Han Li was thinking and said faintly.

“You actually told me this yourself. It’s a bit unexpected.” Han Li’s eyes flashed upon hearing this.

“You will understand this kind of thing naturally when you reach that step. There is no need to hide it. Moreover, even if you know this, it will be extremely difficult to separate me out.” The cyan-robed Han Li smiled.

“You are quite confident.” Han Li’s eyes narrowed upon hearing this.

“Then let me ask you, in order to separate me out, are you willing to kill your companions? Such as that Jin Tong outside?” The cyan-robed Han Li asked.

“Why do you have to kill friends to separate the Self Corpse?” Han Li frowned upon hearing this.

“Then kill your wife?” The cyan-robed Han Li ignored Han Li’s question and asked in return.

Han Li’s face darkened and he did not speak.

“Or kill your parents?” The cyan-robed Han Li continued to ask.

“I think it’s better to kill you.” Han Li stood up abruptly and punched towards the cyan-robed Han Li.

A golden fist as large as a mountain appeared out of thin air in front of the cyan-robed Han Li and struck down fiercely.

The cyan-robed Han Li shook his head and sighed. With a shake of his sleeve, a fair hand reached out, the fingertips emitting a great golden light.

With a muffled “bang”, the hand actually grabbed the golden fist, preventing it from moving forward in the slightest.

Upon seeing this, Han Li also unhesitatingly struck out with his other arm.

At the same time, golden light radiated from his body, and the Time Spiritual Domain appeared, covering the sky and covering the cyan-robed Han Li.

A golden light flashed on the cyan-robed Han Li, and a Time Spiritual Domain also appeared around him.

Han Li’s other fist struck the cyan-robed Han Li’s spiritual domain, like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing the slightest ripple.

The two domains collided, and their powers were evenly matched, holding each other in place.

“You and I are exactly the same in terms of cultivation and supernatural powers. Why waste your energy? If you want to separate me, go and understand yourself first.” The cyan-robed Han Li said with a faint smile.

Han Li turned a deaf ear to the cyan-robed Han Li’s words and pointed with his hand.

Dozens of lightning sword lights shot out. With a slight change, they rolled up thousands of golden lights and tens of thousands of layers of lightning, slashing towards the cyan-robed Han Li.

The cyan-robed Han Li frowned, made a hand seal, and waved his hand. Thousands of golden lightning sword shadows also appeared beside him, welcoming the attack.

The two fought in the Divine Sense Space. Just as the cyan-robed Han Li said, the two were equally strong and indistinguishable.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.

The two had consumed too much, panting and unable to fight again, so they stopped.

Han Li snorted lightly, his figure swayed and left the Divine Sense Space.

His consciousness returned to his body, and his soul was unspeakably tired.

The battle with the Self Corpse in the Divine Sense Space was mostly a battle of divine soul power, which was extremely burdensome on the divine soul.

After Han Li’s face changed for a while, he finally sighed and closed his eyes again.
