A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, Volume 6: Heavenly Spirit Treasures

In addition to being covered in talisman chains, the immense creature was surrounded by palm-sized bronze mirrors. These mirrors emitted yellow light beams, forming a peculiar magic array that, with its intertwining flashes, completely trapped the colossal being.

The entire space where the creature resided was filled with endless layers of restrictions, like waves, emitting faint light everywhere.

The creature's vague, mountain-like form showed no changes. If not for the occasional slight undulation on its surface, anyone would have mistaken it for a dead object. In contrast, an adjacent space offered a completely different scene.

That area was lush and green, abundant with exotic flowers and plants. The spiritual energy was so dense it left one speechless.

In the center of this seemingly immortal realm stood a magnificent palace, hundreds of yards wide. From a distance, the palace appeared silent, as if completely empty.

However, looking down from above the palace, one would discover that it was built at the center of a colossal magic array. Scattered around the palace were eighty-one small altars, each about ten yards tall, spread throughout the array.

Most astonishingly, each altar enshrined a white jade stone figure several yards tall.

Each stone figure was clad in golden armor, holding an unknown golden greatblade with both hands, facing the palace. Their expressions were exceptionally solemn, as if they were alive.

Yet, everything remained eerily silent. Both the palace and the stone figures seemed to have existed for tens of thousands of years, undisturbed.

Its mystery was profound, its strangeness unsettling!

At this moment, in a certain part of Mount Wu, where the Ziwei Star Array was laid out, continuous rumbling and explosive sounds filled the array. It had reached a critical moment for breaking through.

Seven purple light pillars shot skyward from within an endless purple mist, accompanied by a low thunderous roar. Thick arcs of electricity continuously sparked from the surface of the light pillars, spreading towards various points within the array.

The mist had long become so dense that one couldn't see their own hand, and disturbing wails and howls occasionally echoed from within.

Han Li was enveloped in golden light, his expression unchanged as he slowly approached one of the light pillars. Around him, giant, bowl-thick pythons formed from the purple mist. As soon as they neared him, a flash of golden light would instantly cut them into several pieces, causing them to dissipate back into mist.

Despite this, no trace of joy appeared on Han Li's face.

For more purple pythons immediately materialized from the mist and lunged at him.

However, he paid no heed to the silver-white arcs of lightning that occasionally struck down from above, no matter how thick they were. As an arc was about to reach him, he would simply wave a hand, covered in golden arcs, into the air, and all the lightning would be instantly drawn towards it, rendering it utterly powerless.

Suddenly, two almost inaudible buzzing sounds arose from behind Han Li. His brow furrowed. Without turning his head, he flicked his hand back, and two slender golden arcs shot out. After two crackling sounds, a burnt smell immediately wafted towards him.

Only then did Han Li turn his head to glance. He saw two fist-sized giant bees, completely blackened, plummeting straight down from a low altitude.

These giant bees were not only astonishing in size, but their bodies were covered in vibrant yellow patterns, and their stings were about three inches long, making one shiver just by looking at them.

Han Li had killed at least thirty to forty of these spiritual insects in the mist. However, except for the first few that he dispatched with his flying sword, all the other giant bees were killed by his Evil-Dispelling Divine Lightning.

It wasn't that he had an abundance of Evil-Dispelling Divine Lightning to waste; rather, these giant bees had initially caused him a minor setback.

Though he didn't know how potent the bee's tail sting was, its emerald-green insect blood possessed extremely strong corrosive properties. When Han Li's flying sword, through a moment of carelessness, became tainted with some of it, its surface immediately became pitted, and even the sword's spiritual essence suffered some damage.

Because of this, Han Li was naturally unwilling to use his flying sword to kill these bees. Yet, these bees also had a certain resistance to low-level spells like fireballs and ice cones, forcing him to kill them one by one with golden arcs.

Fortunately, although there were many of these bees, they had no resistance whatsoever to the Evil-Dispelling Divine Lightning; they were almost instantly killed upon contact.

Han Li's divine lightning didn't seem to be significantly depleted.

Besides these fist-sized giant bees, Han Li also encountered several bizarre blood-red bats in the purple mist. Apart from their color, these bats looked no different from ordinary bats.

However, after striking with a flying sword, the sword light failed to kill the bat. It was only when the sword's physical body struck that, after a momentary sensation of resistance, it finally cleaved the bat's body.

This secretly astonished Han Li. One must know that after the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword was infused with Geng Essence, it became incredibly sharp, capable of cutting through lesser flying swords like grass. Yet, killing these bats was somewhat difficult, which spoke volumes about the hardness of their bodies.

Both the giant bees and blood bats were common spiritual insects and beasts in the cultivation world. Yet, they had been cultivated to be so formidable, indicating an immense amount of effort invested in them. Now, placed here to cooperate with the array without any human control, the full power of these giant bees and blood bats wasn't even half utilized.

It seems the cultivators ahead had truly spared no expense to buy time.

As he pondered, he was now only a dozen yards away from the purple light pillar ahead. It seemed as if a few more steps would allow him to destroy it.

But at this moment, the gigantic purple bamboo, which had vanished since he entered the array, suddenly appeared around the light pillar, and after a moment of blur, quickly expanded outwards, enveloping him in a dense forest of bamboo shadows in the blink of an eye.

The light pillar, which had been so close, instantly turned into green smoke and vanished without a trace.

These light pillars were actually protected by illusionary restrictions. Han Li was momentarily startled, then a slight smile curled at the corner of his lips.

As long as it wasn't the ancient top-tier illusionary transformation art he had encountered once before, how could ordinary illusionary restrictions trap him?

Without a second thought, blue light flickered in Han Li's pupils. Instantly, all the purple bamboo before him turned into illusions again, and the light pillar conspicuously reappeared in its original location.

He flicked his sleeve, and seven or eight golden swords shot out. After circling in the air, they suddenly transformed into a single colossal golden sword amidst a clear hum. With a flash of golden light, an unusually thick sword beam instantly struck the base of the light pillar.

With a tremendous 'boom,' the light pillar instantly vanished after its base was struck.

Almost simultaneously, large sections of the purple mist and bamboo forest around Han Li, whether illusory or real restrictions, disappeared with him at the center. A vast empty space, hundreds of yards wide, opened up, revealing white bricks on the ground. Han Li glanced down, raised an eyebrow slightly, and then looked up towards the distant areas still enveloped in purple mist.

Of the original six light pillars, only three now remained. The other two had been destroyed by those two individuals, surprisingly, even before him.

Han Li was silent for a moment. Instead of going to destroy the other light pillars, he took out a spirit stone and sat down cross-legged.

He wanted to take this opportunity to carefully consider his countermeasures against the ancient demon once it appeared.

There were many powerful cultivators, demons, ghosts, and monsters gathered in this mountain now. Even with his Three Flames Fan and a late Nascent Soul stage puppet, he would still face significant life-threatening danger if he wasn't careful.

Han Li continued to restore his magical power while his eyes moved, lost in thought.

After an unknown period, Han Li suddenly touched his storage pouch at his waist with one hand. Instantly, a small, rectangular blue object appeared in his grasp. It was the miniaturized crystal stele he had found earlier within the stone monument on Mount Kunwu.

Speaking of this item, its concealment was extremely clever. Even with his powerful divine sense, after staring at the stone monument for half a day, he hadn't discovered its presence. If not for the Earth Armored Dragon's innate ability to identify treasures like metal and stone, he wouldn't have found this item at all.

The crystal stele itself was also quite peculiar. It clearly seemed to be forged from some unknown refined essence, yet before spiritual power was infused into it, it was incredibly heavy. However, once spiritual power was introduced, it immediately became light as air, as if weightless.

But none of this was what attracted Han Li the most. What concerned him the most were the few lines of unknown ancient script carved onto the stele. Although these ancient characters were from ancient times, Han Li couldn't recognize a single one. They were ancient characters never recorded in any known texts.

Nevertheless, Han Li could confirm, by comparing the shapes and strokes of these ancient characters, that they predated even the so-called 'ancient times' he was familiar with. This truly was a genuine antique, and undoubtedly an extraordinary treasure. Han Li weighed the crystal stele in one hand a couple of times, then sighed. With a flash of light, he put it away.

Just then, almost one after another, two sounds echoed from the distant magic array. Two more light pillars had been destroyed.

And the last remaining light pillar, without Han Li and the others even needing to destroy it, flickered dimly and disappeared on its own.

With this, the truly wondrous grand array was finally jointly broken. After all the purple mist illusions had completely vanished, the figures of the others appeared. But immediately, Old Devil Qian's furious voice echoed through the air:

"Where are those four guys from the Poison Saint Sect?! They actually recognized this array and quietly slipped away through it!"

Han Li's gaze swept around, and indeed, he found that the four elders of the Poison Sect were nowhere to be seen.

"Hmph! It's not just them. That despicable Wei is gone too. I knew he was up to something when he instigated us to come in together," the Nascent Soul stage big man cursed with a furious expression.

"No wonder those few suddenly left us behind to go alone. Take a look ahead," Bai Yaoyi sighed, pointing with her slender finger.

At this moment, the others also noticed that at one end of the square where they stood, there were over a dozen stone steps, seemingly leading in different directions.

"It seems these few thought that as long as they didn't choose the same path as the cultivators ahead, or once the other party split their forces, they could handle things independently. That's why they slipped away on their own, probably wanting to monopolize something!" the old man surnamed Fu said, his brow furrowed.

"Hmph. This is fine too. I've long wanted to act alone. Whoever dares to block me from taking treasures, I'll kill them," Old Devil Qian surprisingly quickly regained his composure.

Then, five white figures flickered. They paused two or three times before each jade tablet, examining all the stone steps. Then, without hesitation, the five white figures converged and shot straight towards the stone steps marked 'Kunwu Palace'.
