A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm

Right at this moment, countless flashing specks of golden light appeared on the walls of the palace.

These specks of light then joined up to form a thick, golden light barrier that encompassed the entire palace, including even the ground and the ceiling.

The light barrier was so dense that it was almost opaque, and it appeared nigh indestructible.

The spatial fluctuations in the palace became more and more condensed, and it was completely isolated from the outside world, becoming a completely independent space.

At the same time, the flame in the Eon Divine Lamp on the altar began to glow far brighter than before, and the time law power fluctuations that it was giving off had also become far more formidable.

Immediately thereafter, nine fiery dragons erupted out of the lamp before pouncing at Han Li and Qi Mozi.

Having already learned the power of the lamp's fire the hard way, Qi Mozi immediately shot back in retreat, not daring to oppose the fiery dragons.

Han Li was retreating even faster than him, covering a distance of several thousand feet in a flash before landing on the ground far away from the altar.

As soon as they landed on the ground, they were immediately swarmed by the nearby Dao Warriors.

Even though the Dao Warriors' five-elemental array had been broken, there were still quite a few of them left, but they were far less powerful than before.

Han Li made a hand seal, and countless streaks of peerlessly sharp golden sword qi erupted out of his body in all directions.

A string of dull thuds rang out as the nearby Dao Warriors were sent flying back through the air to create a large, open area around Han Li, but more Dao Warriors continued to charge at him without any fear for their own safety.

Right at this moment, Wyrm 3's voice rang out.

"Come over here, Fellow Daoist Han!"

Han Li turned to discover Wyrm 3 and Fox 3 standing with their backs against one of the palace's walls, using their immortal treasures to force back all of the Dao Warriors within a radius of several dozen feet.

Han Li immediately flew over to the two of them as a streak of golden light, and Fox 3 turned to him with an intrigued expression as he said, "Impressive as always, Fellow Daoist Han. Which two bonded soul tablets did you manage to acquire?"

Han Li cast his gaze toward the pair of crimson tablets in his hand upon seeing this. In his haste to retreat from the altar, he hadn't yet inspected the tablets.

Each tablet had a tiny image etched onto it, depicting a golden beetle and a white horse.

Fox 3's expression instantly darkened slightly upon seeing this, and he turned his gaze to Qi Mozi.

Wyrm 3 didn't seem to be interested in the three items that Han Li had claimed from the altar, and she also turned her gaze to Qi Mozi, who had already retreated back to join the five devilish beings.

His incinerated arm was still burning, and the golden flame was rapidly making its way toward his shoulder, incinerating all of the flesh and bone along the way.

"Chief Warden, your arm!" Xiong Shan exclaimed.

"Calm down, it's just a minor injury," Qi Mozi harrumphed, then opened his mouth to release a small, golden sword.

The golden sword sliced through his shoulder, severing a small chunk of flesh, following which the wound was immediately shrouded in a layer of golden light to prevent bleeding.

As soon as the chunk of flesh left his body, it immediately erupted into flames and was burned into ashes.

Qi Mozi then promptly devoured a green pill, and he was able to quickly regrow a new arm that was identical to the previous one.

Han Li turned his gaze away from Qi Mozi to assess the battlefield, and in doing so, he discovered that the Lan siblings were locked in battle against some Dao Warriors nearby, but Lei Yuce, Wen Zhong, and Su Anqian were nowhere to be seen.

Han Li was just about to release his spiritual sense to search for the trio when they appeared directly above the altar amid a burst of spatial fluctuations, and they were joined by an elderly man dressed in a daoist robe.

The man was holding a palm-sized golden talisman, upon which was etched the image of a golden lamp that was identical to the Eon Divine Lamp.

The golden talisman was giving off radiant, golden light that contained formidable time law power fluctuations identical to the ones being given off by the Eon Divine Lamp, and the talisman flew through the air as a streak of golden light at the elderly man's behest, vanishing into the Eon Divine Lamp in a flash.

The flame in the lamp instantly shrank down to its original size, while everyone else in the palace looked on with stunned expressions.

"That's Daoist Master Dao Yin, the master of the Almighty Sword Sect!" Wyrm 3 exclaimed.

The five devilish beings shuddered slightly in fear upon hearing this, while Lan Yuanzi and Lan Yan also distanced themselves further from Daoist Master Dao Yin with fearful looks on their faces.

Han Li's brows also furrowed slightly upon hearing this. After arriving in the Golden Origin Immortal Region, he had naturally taken it upon himself to learn about this immortal region, and he had certainly looked into a major sect like the Almighty Sword Sect.

Daoist Master Dao Yin of the Almighty Sword Sect was extremely renowned in the Golden Origin Immortal Region, and it was no exaggeration to say that his reputation exceeded even that of Dongfang Bai.

Not only was he a Great Encompassment cultivator, he had an extremely fiery and unyielding personality, and he was renowned for his bitter resentment of all forces of evil.

It was said that he had been in seclusion for a very long time, attempting to sever his first corpse soul, and it was unclear whether he had succeeded in this endeavor.

How did Daoist Master Dao Yin manage to get in here?

The entrance of the palace was already closed, and even a Great Encompassment cultivator wouldn't have been able to sneak in easily. Could it be that this had something to do with that yin yang puppet from earlier?

Before long, the answer was revealed by Lei Yuce, who chanted an incantation before sweeping a sleeve through the air to conjure up a spatial door.

Han Li was very familiar with spatial doors like this as it was the entrance to a spatial treasure.

Three figures, two men and a woman, flew out of the spatial door to join Lei Yuce's group at the top of the altar, and judging from the attire, it was clear that they were all cultivators of the Almighty Sword Sect.

The two men consisted of a yellow-skinned elderly man and a red-haired young man, while the woman was quite youthful in appearance and had a pea-sized green gemstone embedded into her glabella, giving her a sense of exotic allure.

The three of them were all mid-High Zenith cultivators.

"What is the meaning of this, Fellow Daoist Lei?" Wyrm 3 asked in a grim voice.

Lei Yuce remained silent, while Daoist Master Dao Yin swept a resentful gaze over everyone in the palace as he said in a cold voice, "All of you scoundrels have been recklessly taking treasures from this place with no regard for the consequences! This is where you die for your transgressions!"

As soon as his voice trailed off, he swept a sleeve through the air to summon a jade plate roughly the size that was roughly a foot in diameter.

The plate was split up into five sections, each of which was a different color, namely golden, green, blue, red, and yellow, and there were many runes engraved onto each section, giving it the appearance of a profound treasure.

Everyone collectively backed away a few steps with wary looks on their faces upon seeing this.

In contrast with everyone else, a look of bewilderment appeared on Qi Mozi's face at the sight of the five-colored plate, and he swept a sleeve through the air to release a virtually identical five-colored plate of his own.

A derisive sneer appeared on Daoist Master Dao Yin's face upon seeing this, and he made a hand seal while chanting a complex incantation.

The five-colored plate before him instantly began to radiate, golden, green, blue, red, and yellow light in an alternating fashion, while Qi Mozi was also attempting to activate his own five-colored plate, but to his surprise, it displayed no reaction.

All of a sudden, the ground near the altar began to rumble violently as five massive jade pillars that were over a thousand feet tall and around forty to fifty feet in diameter rose up from the ground.

Lei Yuce and Su Anqian flew onto the golden and blue pillars, respectively, before sitting down with their legs crossed, while the three Almighty Sword Sect cultivators that had just appeared flew onto the remaining three pillars, leaving only Wen Zhong standing behind Daoist Master Dao Yin.

His gaze fell upon the five people on the jade pillars, particularly lingering on Lei Yuce for a brief moment, and in that moment, a hint of envy and dissatisfaction flashed through his eyes.

After Lei Yuce and the others had sat down, they each made a rapid string of hands seals, injecting dense streams of incantation seals into the jade pillars beneath them.

The spirit patterns on the five pillars instantly lit up, forming five thick pillars of light that erupted into the heavens.

A tremendous aura rose up from within the five pillars of light before sweeping through the air in all directions, causing the nearby space to ripple slightly.

All of the Dao Warriors in the palace were swept up like falling leaves in a fierce storm, crashing heavily into the walls of the palace.

Han Li and the others were also forced to stumble back by the formidable storm, and only when their backs hit the walls behind them were they able to steady themselves.

Qi Mozi was the only one who remained standing on the spot, and he continued to try and activate the five-colored plate before him, but it remained unresponsive.

"Give it up, you fool!" Daoist Master Dao Yin sneered. "That five-elemental plate for yours may have been able to control the array from before, but it can't control the current Five-Elemental Great Annihilation Array!"

A look of realization appeared on Qi Mozi's face upon hearing this, and his complexion paled slightly as he exclaimed, "You altered the structure of the array while repairing the array cores!"

"So it seems like you're not a complete idiot. It was clear to us that the Heavenly Court was definitely going to send someone to infiltrate the newly opened Tai Sui Immortal Manor, so we prepared accordingly," Daoist Master Dao Yin gloated as he continued to make hand seals with more urgency, and the five pillars of light grew brighter and brighter while beginning to display signs of fusing together.
