Chapter 500: Chapter 253: Becoming an Immortal Panel, First Arrival in the Void_3
These were all Han Yl’s speculations. The actual situation was only known by the higher-ups of the two sects.
Han Yi did not take the Golden Sun Immortal Boat he got from Bao Zhe Sheng. That Immortal Boat was too conspicuous and against his intentions. At this moment, he was riding the Black Flood Dragon Immortal Boat obtained from Tuoba Tu. Although this Immortal Boat was only a mid-grade magic treasure, it wasn’t too slow for Han Yi. In just half a month, he had arrived at the Taixu Immortal City from Jinyun Immortal City.
Taixu Immortal City stood out among the eight largest Immortal Cities in Qianzhou, second only to Qian Du. About a hundred thousand kilometers to the northeast of Taixu Immortal City lay another enormous Immortal City, Containing Fairy City, and further east were Yujing Immortal City.
Taixu, Yujing, and Containing Fairy, these three immortal cities, made up the largest group of immortal cities in the northeast of Qianzhou.
After he reached Taixu Immortal City, he located the Xuandan Sect’s station in the city. Although the previous station elder withdrew and the Profound Immortal Pavilion was abolished, the sect’s station was preserved. Some sect officials and inner disciples stationed at this station served as a shelter for the sect’s cultivators in this immortal city. Occasionally, Foundation Building elders would halt there for rest.
Han Yi had employed the Disguise Technique since leaving the sect’s station at Jinyun Immortal City. He arrived at Taixu Immortal City without incident and changed back to his own appearance at the Taixu station.
The person ruling over the station was an inner disciple at the peak of the Qi Cultivation stage. Upon seeing Han Yi, he paid him deep respect. Han Yi waved at him and asked the Qi Cultivation Peak disciple, named Chen Xu.
“I came here to find a place called Two Realms Mountain. Is there a place called Two Realms Mountain in or around Taixu City, within and outside the Taixu Mountain Range, or even within thousands of kilometers of the Taixu Sect?”
Chen Xu pondered for a moment but was not sure – he had been to Taixu Immortal City only a few years ago and wasn’ t quite familiar with the area.
He invited an official from the station; an elderly cultivator with white hair but a spirited look and shining eyes.
“Elder Han, this is Old Du. He has been in Taixu Immortal City for decades. If anyone could answer this, it would be him.”
After that, Chen Xu repeated Han Yi’s question to the elderly cultivator.
The elderly cultivator firmly shook his head.
“There isn’t, the name sounds like a mountain, but there is definitely not a mountain or mountain range named Two Realms Mountain in this area.”
“I’ve stayed in Taixu Immortal City for more than sixty years, and visited every place in this area. If there was such a place, I would definitely know.”
Han Yi waved them off, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
This situation suggested a few possibilities. First, like the Taixu Sect, Two Realms Mountain could be located deep within the Taixu Mountain Range, and as a part of the Taixu Sect’s secrets, it was not disclosed to outsiders.
This was the most likely guess.
Another possibility was that Two Realms Mountain was not a fixed location, but appeared once every hundred years, and only the cultivators holding the Two Realms Jade could enter the Two Realms Mountain through it.
That would explain why the Two Realms Jade was needed as a medium – without this key, the door to the Two Realms Mountain could not be unlocked.
Of course, there was a third possibility. This Two Realms Mountain might not be known as Two Realms Mountain in the Cultivation World, but had another name.
All three possibilities existed, but Han Yi was not in a hurry. It was only September now, and there were almost six months left till the third day of the third month next year.
In six months, he would directly go to the Taixu Sect to get a clear answer. There was no need to worry.
And for these six months, he planned to cultivate in the Taixu Immortal City itself.
After instructing Chen Xu with a mental command, Han Yi set up the Great Mysterious Qiankun Array in the courtyard first. This third-stage mid-quality formation could temporarily obstruct a mid to late-stage Golden Core cultivator.
Moreover, Han Yi set up this array primarily as an alarm.
Next, within the Great Mysterious Qiankun Array, Han Yi set up a Spirit Gathering Array. After setting up both formations, he took out the Spirit Stones and began to cultivate.
As his cultivation descended into a state of self-forgetfulness, the courtyard turned quiet. The Spirit Energy swirling within the Spirit Gathering Array seeped into Han Yi’s body, flowing through his meridian channels into the Spirit Sea to form semi-crystal mana, gradually intensifying the concentration and potency of his mana.
While he was fully immersed in cultivation…
What he didn’t know was that in his original Qiankun Ring, the ancient corpse of the female cultivator had opened her eyes again. Ignoring the rules of the Qiankun Ring, once on Han Yi’s other finger, now in another Qiankun Ring – she instantaneously moved the nineteen top-grade Spirit Stones inside it into the other Qiankun Ring
Immediately, the ancient corpse opened her mouth and drew in the nineteen top-grade Spirit Stones, as if it were a black hole. Her pupils flickered with an uncertain symbol.
This time, unlike after devouring the Nascent Soul of Star River Monarch last time, the ancient corpse did not biyanby language.
A moment later, the ancient corpse closed its eyes again. Everything returned to silence. Except for the nineteen top-grade spirit stones in another Qiankun Ring that disappeared, there were no other changes.
Some kind of change was quietly taking place within the ancient corpse.
Three months later.
Han Yi opened his eyes, which were deep and radiant. The reason he did not wait two more months before leaving his cultivation was not because he wanted to go to the Tai Xu Sect in advance, but because he perceived some sort of change within himself.
The proficiency panel was visible once more.
In front of him, the pale red proficiency panel had reappeared, easing the constant worry in Han Yi’s heart.
However, when he saw the full picture of the proficiency panel, he was slightly surprised, not because the panel had undergone any strange changes, but because it hadn’t changed at all and was exactly the same as before.
According to his previous conjecture, half of the jade arm allowed Zhang Tu to have the ascension panel. The proficiency panel, which absorbed this jade arm, should manifest more information after absorbing this ability.
(Name: Han Yi]
[Lifespan: 77/550]
[Reahn:Middle Golden Core Stage (35/100) ]
[Skills:
Sword Control Skill (Breaking through the mortal and entering holy 14/100)
Ninefold Soul Tower (Breaking through the mortal and entering holy 9/100)
Disguise Technique (Breaking through the mortal and entering holy 11/100)
Sword Realm (incomplete) (completion 0/9)
In the proficiency panel, his realm had reached the Middle Golden Core Stage, and the progress was at 35/100. This was due to his continuous battles and fights over the past few years.
Battles in the demonic caverns, passing through Qingzhou, going to Daqin; he had traveled from northern Shu State to central Shu State, then been taken to Tanggu Mountain Range. He went along the edge of Qingzhou, from south to north, crossing Evil Mountain Range, drew a circle across Qianzhou, and returned to the Xuandan Sect. This journey encompassed more than half of Daqian Immortal Country.
Then he went to Daqin, where he took down the Zhang Family and the Supreme Pavilion, plotted against Zhang Tu, and finally escaped.
Each of these events could be considered thrilling. If an ordinary cultivator in the later Middle Golden Core Stage encountered such events, they would have died in the demonic caverns, having no chance to encounter what came after.
After confirming that there was nothing abnormal with the proficiency panel, Han Yi wanted to continue his cultivation. But after reconsidering, he stopped and chose to leave seclusion.
It was just after the New Year’s Festival, a celebration for ordinary people, marking the beginning of the year.
With just over three months left until the third of March, Han Yi decided to go and survey the situation first, making it easier for his search for the immortal in the Tai Xu Sect in three months’ time.
After informing Chen Xu with his divine sense, Han Yi flew into the sky and headed north. About a hundred miles north of Taixu Immortal City lies a grand mountain range, the Taixu Mountain Range.
Actually, Han Yi had visited both holy lands in Daqian, but out of the three big sects, he had only been to the Chi Xiao Sword Sect. Moreover, he had obtained the Heaven Defying Sword Skill, “Sword Realm”, from within Chi Xiao Mountain by a fortuitous coincidence. This skill, even now, was still at a zero progress out of nine, leaving Han Yi both happy and worried. He was happy because the strict requirements to activate this sword skill were unheard of, indicating that it must be extremely powerful. His worry, however, lay in the fact that he did not know how much higher his Departing Fire Sword Formula needed to be to meet the requirement.
The Immortal Boat turned into a streak of light and disappeared.
Standing on the Immortal Boat, Han Yi looked up to see a grand mountain range around a hundred miles away. A surge of power emanated from within it, making his heart palpitate. Deep within this range lay the destination of his trip.
Tai Xu Sect.
