Lu Yuqing thought about it and said, "I can give it a try."
"Thank you for your trouble." Han Li nodded.
Lu Yuqing walked up and waved her hand. There was a flash of light in her palm and an octagonal black jade appeared. There were some very strange spiral patterns carved on it. The patterns were layered on top of each other. It was a bit dazzling to look at.
"This is the key to the Crossing Boundary Monument in our house. Apparently, it was passed down from our ancestors.
Whether or not this key can be used here, I'm not sure. "Lu Yuqing said and raised her hand. She made a hand sign and hit the jade.
A ray of green light flew into the jade and the spiral patterns on it suddenly spun. It spat out a ray of black light that reflected on the Crossing Boundary Monument.
A spiral pattern also appeared on the World Crossing Monument. After a few twists and turns, a palm-sized black vortex appeared in the middle of the monument and slowly rotated.
However, this whirlpool was sometimes big and sometimes small. It was as if there was a mysterious power that wanted to expand it and at the same time, there was another power that wanted to compress it.
"Could it be …" Seeing this, Han Li's eyebrows slightly moved.
Lu Yuqing said, "Brother Han, it seems that my key is not completely compatible with this Crossing Boundary Monument. Quickly inject more celestial spiritual force into the jade and help me open the monument."
Without saying anything, Han Li immediately raised his hand and hit the jade in Lu Yuqing's hand. The extremely abundant celestial spiritual force in his body surged out and poured into the jade.
In an instant, the pillar of black light that shot out from the black jade suddenly thickened. It caused the entire surface of the tombstone to ripple with layers of black light.
At the same time, the palm-sized whirlpool in the center seemed to have suppressed the mysterious power that wanted to suppress it. It began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Lu Yuqing's face lit up. Han Li's spirit was also lifted.
The black whirlpool on the Crossing Boundary Monument spun faster and faster. Suddenly, there was a burst of black light and a strange suction force came from it. In an instant, it swallowed Han Li and Lu Yuqing.
Han Li felt as if the world had turned upside down. His vision first darkened, then brightened up again.
However, before he could stabilize his body and take a clear look at the situation around him, the remaining flying swords in his sleeves went berserk again.
This time, the momentum was several times faster than before!
He didn't even have the time to stop them. Dozens of green lights gushed out from his sleeves at the same time. They drew extremely long green rainbows in the air, and swept towards the sky like dozens of green dragons. In the blink of an eye, they scuttled into the sea of clouds and disappeared.
A wry smile appeared on Han Li's face, and he shook his empty sleeve in a resigned manner as he cast his gaze forward.
In front of him stood a towering mountain that pierced through the clouds.
The towering peak was covered in dense vegetation, and a large expanse of dark green could be seen as far as the eye could see. Everywhere revealed exuberant vitality, and it was simply worlds apart from the environment they were in before.
Everything before his eyes was completely different from what he had seen before, and Han Li was beginning to wonder if he had fallen into an illusionary realm again.
However, when he used the Brightsight Spirit Eyes and the Eye of Truth to investigate, he found that this was not an illusion, but a genuine real world.
Just as he was feeling puzzled, the space beside him distorted, and Lu Yuqing's figure also staggered and appeared next to him.
"Big Brother Han, have we already entered the Crossing Boundary Monument?" Lu Yuqing was also very puzzled by the scene in front of her, and could not help but ask.
There is something strange here. Now all my flying swords have flown to this mountain, "Han Li said, pointing in the direction of the mountain peak.
Previously, because his connection with the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords was cut off, Han Li was a little anxious. Now that he had passed through the Crossing Boundary Monument and arrived at the foot of the mountain, although all his flying swords had flown away, his connection with the flying swords had been restored. Only then did he feel a little more at ease.
"Now that we have entered this place, I think those people from Shifang Tower will not be able to chase after us.
Since the swords are on the mountain, let's go and get them back. After that, we can quickly meet up with those from the True Flame Sect, "Lu Yuqing said, her eyes flashing slightly.
Han Li said noncommittally. At the same time, he waved his sleeve, and his whole body turned into a green light, directly soaring into the sky.
However, he had only risen less than a thousand feet when the wind and clouds above his head suddenly changed color, and an invisible pressure arose spontaneously.
Immediately afterward, the clouds in the sky suddenly pressed down a little, and an incomparably abundant and mighty Sword Qi suddenly rolled down from the sky. Countless translucent sword lights swarmed densely, like thousands of soldiers and horses charging, and the momentum was extremely majestic.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yuqing, who had just flown up, hurriedly landed back, and her face was pale.
In mid-air, Han Li's eyes flashed slightly, and his body lit up with blue light spots. He suddenly raised his fist and punched at the sky full of sword lights.
An invisible fist aura rushed straight toward the sky like a boat sailing against the current.
"Boom", there was a loud noise.
There was a tremor above the sky as if the entire void was shattered, making a series of "ka ka" sounds.
The falling momentum of the sword lights suddenly slowed down, and countless sword lights collided with the fist aura, bursting into countless crystal fragments that were visible to the naked eye. A huge hole suddenly appeared in the middle.
Upon seeing this, Han Li flew toward the hole in the ground at a rapid speed.
However, before he flew to the edge of the hole, the clouds in the sky seemed to press down a little more. In the void above the hole, a layer of silver sword light appeared out of thin air, filling the hole, and once again pressed down on Han Li.
He couldn't help but frown slightly. He raised his palm and waved upward.
A black light suddenly burst out from his palm and turned into a giant black wheel with hollow patterns. It flew toward the silver sword light with a whistling sound.
A series of sharp metal collision sounds sounded, making people's ears sore.
After Han Li refined the Heavy Water True Wheel many times, especially after adding the second layer of heavy water, its power had now reached an incredible level.
The water dao pattern on it shone brightly, making the black light of the wheel even brighter. It looked like a black sun.
Under the urging of Han Li, the Heavy Water True Wheel was like a huge black millstone. Under the crazy rotation, it constantly crushed the sword lights in the sky.
However, as the layers of sword lights were crushed, the clouds in the sky were getting lower and lower. The sword lights in the void also became more and more dense, and from the original translucent state, it became more and more solid.
Han Li only felt that the surrounding space seemed to be squeezed slightly distorted, and the surrounding atmosphere seemed to become more and more solemn.
After a few attempts, Han Li finally believed that if he didn't care and fought hard, he might be able to fly to the top of the mountain with his Xuan Immortal physique and magical power, but it was difficult to guarantee that he wouldn't be injured.
At present, in this Netherfrost Immortal Mansion, there might be endless dangers. Although he was worried about the Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword, he was not willing to continue to fly to the top of the mountain.
So he landed on the ground again and said to Lu Yuqing, "I don't know how long the sword qi here has been accumulating. It's too majestic. There's no way to fly up, we can only climb the mountain on foot."
"With our speed, it won't take long to climb the mountain on foot," Lu Yuqing nodded and said.
After that, the two rushed toward the entrance of the mountain along the stone road under their feet.
Since Han Li didn't force himself to fly in the sky, the clouds that had previously pressed down began to rise slowly and returned to their original state. There seemed to be no other obstacles for the two to walk up the mountain.
When they came to the entrance, they saw a tall stone archway standing at the entrance. There was a huge horizontal board carved on it, with four big words written in golden seal script.
The strokes were bold and bold, but they didn't lose their elegance. It was as if they were cast by a sharp sword, showing its sharpness, but with a sense of unruliness.
As Han Li glanced around, he first felt an indescribable sword essence rushing toward him. He couldn't help but subconsciously take a few steps back, but then he was stunned.
This Lifeless Sword Sect had always been known for its mysterious inheritance. It suddenly disappeared a million years ago, so people later did not know where the sect was. Unexpectedly, it was here?
While thinking, he glanced at Lu Yuqing next to him. He saw that the woman didn't reveal anything. He didn't know if it was because she was not good at swordsmanship, so she couldn't feel the sword essence contained in it.
"My Natal Flying Sword was attracted and flew in by itself. Is there some kind of sword formation in this sect?" Thinking about the sword light in the clouds, Han Li couldn't help but speculate.
After thinking about it for a while, he and Lu Yuqing bypassed the stone archway and continued to climb the mountain.
The winding ancient road was long and winding, like a long snake winding around the belly of the mountain.
Han Li and Lu Yuqing hurriedly walked on the mountain road. Along the way, they encountered many buildings hidden in the forest. After checking, they found that they were all ordinary houses without the protection of a formation.
Under the baptism of time, most of them had become dilapidated.
The more they walked to the top of the mountain, the quieter the surrounding environment became. In the forest, there were only ancient trees, but no birds or beasts. Everywhere was filled with a quiet and solemn atmosphere.
When passing through a green bamboo forest, Han Li suddenly stopped and glimpsed a dark green bamboo house in the depths of the dense forest.
After thinking for a while, he turned around and walked along the stone path into the bamboo forest.
Lu Yuqing saw Han Li suddenly change direction without saying a word. Although she was a little curious, she just silently followed behind him.
Not long after Han Li walked, he found something strange. He saw that there were many sword marks on the side of the bamboo. The color had darkened. Obviously, they were old scars from many years ago.
After a while, he stopped and grabbed a thick green and purple bamboo next to him with one hand. His five fingers forcefully grabbed down.
The bamboo body immediately made a creaking sound, but it did not immediately break.
Han Li raised his eyebrows and let out a soft "huh" sound. The strength of his hand increased a little.
