Several days later, on Hai Banyan Island.
A streak of azure light quickly streaked across the sky and landed above the island. The light faded away to reveal the figure of a tall and sturdy man.
The man was Han Li. However, he had changed his appearance to that of an ordinary middle-aged man with a dark complexion.
His figure hovered motionlessly in the air as blue light flickered from his eyes as he swept his gaze downward.
At this moment, a buzzing sound came from somewhere on the island and a blue light screen in the shape of an egg appeared.
Then, with a crackling sound, an opening large enough for one person to pass through appeared in the light screen.
Come in. "Before Han Li could do anything, a voice sounded out.
Han Li's brow twitched and his body descended, flying into the blue light screen in a flash. The opening then disappeared with a flash, and the blue light screen also disappeared.
The space below the light screen wasn't large. It was a hemispherical area that was only three hundred meters in size. The temperature inside was quite high, and it seemed somewhat scorching.
Han Li entered and was slightly startled.
There was a group of unfamiliar cultivators gathered here that he didn't recognize. However, one of them was a black-robed, black-bearded old man who was talking to someone else. He was currently looking at him with a smile on his face. Beside the old man stood a beautiful woman in a yellow dress.
Han Li thought for a moment and recognized these two to be none other than Daoist Huyan and Yun Ni. Like him, the two had also changed their appearances.
Han Li cupped his hands and said, "I was delayed on the way here and made Martial Uncle wait for a long time. I am truly sorry." He looked behind the two.
Behind Daoist Huyan and Yun Ni stood nine cultivators dressed like Daoists.
These people all wore fiery red Daoist robes with a lifelike pattern of a Fire Crow embroidered on them. It seemed that they came from the same sect.
The faces of the nine people all had a somewhat strange flush. Their bodies emitted bursts of strong fire-attribute spiritual power. It was obvious that they all cultivated fire-attribute cultivation methods.
The three people in the lead were an old man with red hair and beard, a half-naked tall man, and a beautiful middle-aged woman in her forties.
The auras of the three of them were vast and long. Even though their auras couldn't compare to Daoist Huyan and Yun Ni, it was obvious that they were all Golden Immortal Stage cultivators. It was just that the old man's cultivation base was slightly higher than the other two.
"Come, Tianyu, let me introduce you. These are Fellow Daoists from the True Flame Sect of the Ancient Cloud Continent. This time, they will go with us to the Netherfrost Celestial Mansion to search for opportunities.
This was Sect Master Xu Yangzi, and these two were Elder Zhen Yun and Elder Lu Lan.
Fellow Daoists, Tian Yu is a junior of ours. He's quite vigilant and possesses decent strength, so he should be able to play some role in the immortal abode, "Daoist Hu Yan introduced with a chuckle.
"So it's the three seniors of the True Flame Sect. Fellow Daoists, I am Gu Tianyu. Nice to meet you." Han Li's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his face as he clasped his hands.
He knew the name of the True Flame Sect.
This sect was located in a remote corner of the Ancient Cloud Continent. It was one of the major forces second only to the Fire Dragon Path. It was especially good at fire-attribute Divine Abilities. However, for some unknown reason, the members of the sect rarely moved about outside. They seemed to be quite low-key in handling matters, so the entire sect was not well-known.
In fact, before the Fire Dragon Path encountered a great change, most of the forces in the Ancient Cloud Continent, big and small, were actually attached to the Fire Dragon Path. There were also disputes between them from time to time, but as long as it didn't cross the bottom line, the Fire Dragon Path naturally wouldn't interfere and was happy to see it happen.
Although Han Li didn't know the specifics of the current Fire Dragon Path, with his experience and knowledge, he could more or less guess some of the current situation in the Ancient Cloud Continent. If it was said that "when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter", it wouldn't be too far off.
Now that this Daoist Hu Yan had suddenly invited this sect to travel with them, there was a suspicion that he was trying to cover it up.
"The younger generation really surpasses the older.
Daoist Gu, at this moment, we still don't know where the entrance to the Immortal's Mansion is. Isn't it a bit too impatient to talk about what will happen after entering the Immortal's Mansion? "Xu Yangzi just nodded slightly at Han Li, then shifted his gaze and said so.
On the other hand, Gao Zhuangqiang, Han Zhenyun, and the middle-aged beauty Lu Lan just glanced at Han Li noncommittally. Obviously, they didn't care much about Han Li who wasn't a Golden Immortal.
In response, Han Li just smiled faintly and didn't care. He walked up behind the two and stood still.
"Actually, I believe the three of you already know about the news in the Impermanence Alliance.
Although that might not really be the entrance to the Immortal's Mansion, at least there are some clues. "Daoist Hu Yan smiled faintly.
"The two of you accidentally obtained the treasure map and were willing to share the quota to enter the Immortal's Mansion with our True Flame Sect. This shows your trust in our sect, and we are very grateful.
It's just that we've been searching for so long and have almost turned the entire Blackwind Sea Area upside down, but we haven't found anything. This news is strange, and I'm afraid it's mostly fake, "Xu Yangzi said with a frown.
"Daoist Xu Yang, you're wrong. Since we've been searching for so long without any results, now that this news has appeared, regardless of whether it's true or not, we should go to the Red Moon Island to investigate," Yun Ni suddenly said.
"Forgive me for being blunt. Although this news has caused an uproar in the Impermanence Alliance, after all, no one knows whether it's true or not. Maybe someone deliberately leaked it, and thus set up a trap in the Red Moon Island in an attempt to murder those who go. If we go, wouldn't we be walking into a trap?" Zhen Yun said while shaking his head.
"Yes, I'm afraid it's a trap set up by the Northern Chill Immortal Palace. It's better to be cautious," the middle-aged beauty Lu Lan also said with a frown.
"You three, the Netherfrost Immortal Mansion only opens once every ten thousand years. Especially last time, someone discovered that there might be a different world inside, and it's very likely that there's a Taiyi Pill that's extremely helpful for breaking through to the Taiyi Realm. Otherwise, why would the various forces, including the Northern Chill Immortal Palace, mobilize so many people this time?
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At this moment, are the three of you really willing to retreat? "Daoist Huyan said with a frown.
"This … is not so … but this matter should be considered at length, and everything should be done with stability," Xu Yangzi said with a slight change of expression.
The other two didn't say anything for a while, but the doubt in their eyes was still there.
Seeing this, Han Li frowned slightly.
These Golden Celestial cultivators of the True Flame Sect were probably attracted by the treasures in the Immortal Mansion, but in the face of the current situation, they were a little hesitant and had no spirit to speak of. This was the character of the sect master and the elders, so it was no wonder that the sect was so low-key before.
"I know that the three of you are worried that the Northern Chill Immortal Palace is powerful and ambitious. With just the few of us, even if we have two or three times more people, if we encounter them, we still won't be able to defeat them.
However, since the change in the Torch Dragon Path, although the strength of the Immortal Palace has greatly increased, it has also encountered a lot of resistance in the dark.
As far as I know, all the forces, including the Cangliu Palace and the Fuling Sect, are quite resentful of the Immortal Palace. They don't want to end up like the Torch Dragon Path, especially this time, the Northern Chill Immortal Palace secretly sealed the entrance to the Immortal Mansion, which can be said to have provoked public anger. I'm sure that the people of the other forces will definitely go to the Red Moon Island, "Daoist Huyan sighed softly and said slowly.
"If this news is true, the entrance to the Immortal Mansion is under the Red Moon Island. When the time comes, everyone will join forces. Although the Immortal Palace is powerful, it can't compete with everyone, right?
Even if this is a trap, it can't trap all of us, so there's nothing for the three of you to be afraid of, "Yun Ni immediately added.
"If the two of you say so, there's some truth to it …" Xu Yangzi stroked his beard, as if he was moved by the words.
Zhen Yun and Lu Lan also looked at each other, and their eyes also fluctuated.
After all, putting aside the legendary Tai Yi Pill in the Immortal Mansion, just the various rare treasures in the Immortal Mansion that had never appeared in the world really made them envious.
"There's not much time now, Fellow Daoists, you have to make a decision as soon as possible.
After all, there are countless treasures in there. Are you really willing to let these treasures fall into the hands of others without getting a single one? "Daoist Huyan asked again.
A fiery light flashed in Xu Yangzi's eyes.
"Of course, we can't be careless. We have to act carefully and think of some countermeasures," Daoist Huyan said with a nod.
"Martial Uncle's plan is flawless. You must have thought of a solution, right?" Han Li glanced at the people of the True Flame Sect and said with a smile.
Daoist Huyan smiled faintly and waved his hand to remove the surrounding restriction.
Then, he flicked his sleeve, and a ball of blue light appeared out of thin air, turning into a blue flying carriage. Its appearance was quite strange, with a cross-shaped windmill at the front and back, flashing with a strange light and exuding an oppressive spiritual Qi. It attracted the attention of the people of the True Flame Sect, including Xu Yangzi.
"This Water Imperial Carriage is a rare treasure that I obtained by chance in the Netherfrost Immortal Mansion many years ago. It has an excellent concealment effect. It should be much safer to take this flying carriage," Daoist Huyan said.
Han Li looked at the flying carriage, and his heart also moved.
This carriage was obviously refined with some special spiritual materials, including many rare water-attribute spiritual materials, and it was inscribed with countless complex and mysterious spiritual patterns, emitting extremely faint fluctuations of the law of water.
Because of the Heavy Water True Wheel, he had some understanding of the law of water at the moment, and he faintly felt that the laws emitted by the flying carriage should be similar to the concealment aspect.
Han Li's figure moved, and he took the lead to fly into the flying carriage.
Xu Yangzi hesitated for a moment, and then he seemed to have made up his mind and flew into the flying carriage.
As he moved, Elder Zhen Yun, Elder Lu Lan, and the six True Immortal Realm cultivators also flew into the flying carriage one after another.
Daoist Huyan and Yun Ni smiled, and they also flew into the carriage.
After the former stabilized his body, he waved his hand to cast a spell, and the flying carriage emitted a rather strange blue light, like a mist, shrouding the entire flying carriage.
