Chapter 284: Chapter 184: Black Fog Space

Translator: 549690339

Vast and boundless, the buildings stretched beyond the eye could see, varying in height.

Han Yi couldn’t estimate the size of this area, as he dared not rise too high, only around a hundred meters, giving him just a glimpse of a corner.

This was an abandoned area; some parts appeared intact, while others looked just as dilapidated and broken as the street he was on, and still others were shrouded in mysterious patches of black fog.

Of course, the first thing Han Yi paid attention to was the black fog that covered various places irregularly. Some patches of fog enveloped several buildings or even entire blocks, while others covered even larger areas.

From the sky, it looked like random patches of black fog, like countless covers dropped onto this land.

Moreover,

Han Yi guessed that this place was just a corner of a huge city.

Before this, he had seen Daqian Immortal City and Shu Du, so he knew that such grand and majestic cities existed in the world.

However, he didn’t see any city walls from his current location, so he couldn’t hastily come to a conclusion.

After a brief examination of his surroundings,

Han Yi descended to the abandoned streets below and gradually moved forward while controlling his speed and cautiously observing his surroundings.

After distancing himself from his initial position, Han Yi stopped, no longer moving forward. He entered the buildings on both sides of the street and proceeded several hundred meters further in. He held the Seven-Star Kunwu sword in his hand, ready to release his mana and create wind and fire shields to block any potential attacks.

However, he breathed a sigh of relief since he hadn’t encountered any abnormalities while sneaking into a seemingly small courtyard.

First, Han Yi checked the courtyard and found no abnormalities, but some of the lofts had collapsed. The remaining places were also in ruins and disorder, showcasing the panic and hurried state of the former occupants.

Han Yi cautiously controlled his divine sense, sweeping through the courtyard over and over, even checking the underground several times, only to confirm that nothing unusual was lurking in the courtyard. Finally, he chose a relatively intact loft and set up the Seven-Star Mysterious Origin Formation.

Inside the formation,

Han Yi finally relaxed, mentally assured of his safety.

At that moment, a wave of fatigue washed over him.

This feeling of exhaustion wasn’t the first time. In the past half a year, this occurred three times in total.

Han Yi forced a bitter smile.

What sort of misfortune had he brought upon himself? Not only was he forced to return to Shu Du twice, but even within Shu Du, he had been through a life-and-death ordeal, barely escaping death.

Considering his current realm, even if he reached his peak, he wouldn’t amount to much in front of Gold Core cultivators.

The breakthroughs in Sword Control Skill and Light Body Technique only allowed him to survive temporarily in front of Gold Core cultivators but not to possess the strength to resist them.

However, if he faced Foundation Establishment cultivators, even at the Foundation Building late stage or Foundation Establishment Peak, Han Yi had the confidence to defeat them.

There was nothing to analyze from this battle since Han Yi had been at a constant disadvantage, fleeing the entire time. His only chance was to use the Five Thunder Bead in an attempt to fight, but he soon discovered that not only he had talismans, but even a poor Gold Core cultivator could afford a second-stage talisman, or even one or two third-stage talismans.

Nevertheless, one thing warranted Han Yi’s research.

He took out the black token and carefully placed it in front of him, with the “Age” character facing upwards. Closely examining it, he flipped it over, revealing the “Candle” character.

No matter how he observed it, the token seemed to have resumed its usual calm appearance, just like an ordinary black iron token.

But Han Yi had never underestimated this token.

At this point, he was absolutely certain that his entry into the Mirage Immortal Realm had something to do with this token.

Was it triggered, activated, or even opened?

Han Yi wasn’t sure.

Another thing he was uncertain about was whether this Mirage Immortal realm was related to the mysterious place he had opened using this token in the Luo family’s Spirit Field.

It seemed that these mysteries were beyond the scope of his current realm.

After observing the token, Han Yi didn’t dare to infuse his mana into it. If the token activated again and pulled him into another mysterious realm, that would be disastrous, especially since he wasn’t in his peak state and didn’t want to face another “examination”.

After putting the token away, Han Yi took out a silver sword tool.

The silver sword tool was from the Gold Core Sword Cultivator who had pursued him.

On the sword, two ancient characters read: “Silver Frost”.

At this moment, Han Yi was thankful that the Mirage Immortal Mountain had teleported everyone to random locations. If that Gold Core cultivator had appeared together with him, the consequences would be dire.

However,

As for why the sword tool appeared at his location instead of being transported away with the Gold Core cultivator, Han Yi could only guess that it was due to some rules of the Mirage Immortal Realm, possibly related to the weapon’s distance from the ground.

Han Yi tried to infuse his divine sense into the treasure, but found that it remained motionless, its Divine Soul restriction untouched.

After several attempts, the sword still didn’t budge, so Han Yi reluctantly put it away.

Once he left this place, he’d sell it. Immortal Pavilion wouldn’t care where this sword came from, and it would be a significant source of income, definitely much more valuable than the Golden Light Shuttle..
