Han Li retracted his gaze from Re Huo Xian Zun's cave, his brows slightly furrowed. Then, a flash of light enveloped him, and he transformed into a streak of azure, flying out of the valley.

In mid-air, he glanced towards Ju Kun City, and after a moment of contemplation, he didn't fly towards it, but instead headed south.

Although there were teleportation arrays in Ju Kun City leading to other cities, the situation in the city was complex, and using the arrays required the identity token of a Huo Ye Sect elder. After Re Huo Xian Zun's warning, Han Li decided not to take the risk.

He didn't have a specific destination at the moment. He simply wanted to avoid the turmoil within the Fuyun Mountains and find a secluded place to establish a temporary cave, continuing to find a way to dispel the demonic aura within him, in order to advance to the Taiyi realm as soon as possible.

Judging from the current situation, various places in the True Immortal World were now fraught with unrest and unpredictability. The conflict between the Celestial Court and the Reincarnation Hall, one in the light and the other in the dark, though the origins were unknown, had clearly lasted for countless millennia and was now intensifying.

He was merely a minor Gold Immortal. Even if his strength was enough to dominate among cultivators of the same rank, and he could protect himself against ordinary Taiyi realm cultivators, if he were to be caught up in this all-encompassing storm, he would probably not even know how he died.

The best course of action now was to avoid the limelight, improve his own strength, and strive to break through to the Taiyi realm to increase his ability to protect himself in this chaotic world.

No matter when or where, one must first survive before being qualified to talk about anything else.

According to the markings on the nearby map, the closest large city where True Immortals congregated to the south was Jiayun City, about two or three months' journey away.

While flying forward, he used his spiritual sense to sense the surrounding movements. Soon, he flew out of the Fuyun Mountains.

Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way.

Han Li breathed a slight sigh of relief. After flying some distance further, completely away from the Fuyun Mountains, he summoned his green flying chariot, transforming it into a streak of emerald light and speeding forward.

…

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.

At this time, Han Li was sitting cross-legged on the flying chariot, a golden lock suspended in front of him, spinning continuously. Golden light swirled around it, emitting waves of time law fluctuations.

His hands were constantly forming incantation gestures, and streams of spells flew out, merging into the small lock. While refining it, he carefully comprehended the power of the time law contained within.

After a long time, a gleam of understanding flashed in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, the golden lock fell back into his hand.

Although he hadn't completely finished refining this object, he had basically comprehended the time law contained within. It was a type of law power that leaned towards imprisonment, similar in some ways to the True Words Treasure Wheel's ability. Moreover, the law power contained in this lock seemed to be much greater than the combined power of the previous three immortal artifacts.

Han Li estimated that if he absorbed this treasure, he might gain many more time law crystal threads, but he was reluctant to part with such a powerful treasure.

"Let's wait and see. There's no rush anyway," Han Li thought to himself, opened his mouth and spat out a stream of golden light to wrap the golden lock, then took it into his body to continue refining.

Afterward, he flipped his hand and took out a jade slip, which contained a map of the Heishan Immortal Territory.

Now, it had been more than half a month since he left the Fuyun Mountains. During this time, no one had followed him, which reassured him a lot, allowing him to spare some time to comprehend the golden lock.

Below the flying chariot was a range of rolling mountains. These peaks were all jet black, like charcoal, and a black mist vaguely swirled between the mountains, looking quite strange.

In fact, most of the mountains he had seen along the way were this color. The reason why this immortal territory was called the Heishan Immortal Territory was probably because of this situation.

Han Li retracted his gaze from the strange black mountains below, then placed the jade slip against his forehead, while thoughts turned in his mind.

The former Xianyun Mountains and Ju Kun City were located in the far north of the Heishan Immortal Territory, close to the Savage Wasteland. There was a saying that the latter was built by the Celestial Court tens of millions of years ago after a great battle with the ferocious beasts in the Savage Wasteland, after plundering a large area of land.

In fact, other immortal territories were much the same. Every time the human race expanded an area in the Savage Wasteland, they would build a huge city like Ju Kun City, and then use it as a foundation to continue expanding and forming an immortal territory, while also establishing some large cultivator cities and protected mortal kingdoms to multiply and thrive.

Although not many traces of Savage Wasteland ferocious beasts could be seen near Ju Kun City, it couldn't be considered very stable. However, from Ju Kun City further south, although various mountain ranges and wildernesses continued to appear, making it seem somewhat desolate, it was much safer than the vicinity of Ju Kun City. Cities and kingdoms where large numbers of mortals lived gradually appeared.

The flying chariot was extremely fast, and soon flew over the black mountains below, and a huge river appeared ahead.

This river was nearly a thousand miles wide, with surging waves that crashed against the shore, rolling and flowing past, as if a huge flood dragon was hidden at the bottom of the river, looking extremely magnificent.

Han Li compared it with the map. The great river below should be the Black Pine River on the map, and further ahead was a mortal kingdom called Yuanfeng Kingdom. His route was not off course.

Just at that moment, his expression suddenly froze, and he turned his head to look to the side, his eyes flashing with purple light, and a look of surprise quickly appeared on his face.

The spiritual energy in the distance in that direction was fluctuating violently, mixed with traces of the power of law, clearly indicating that cultivators with not weak cultivation were fighting fiercely, and they seemed to be quite strong, at least Gold Immortal level.

The spiritual energy in this area was thin. There were only a few Integration realm sects built on the mountains nearby within tens of thousands of miles. How could there be Gold Immortal realm cultivators fighting here?

Han Li made a hand gesture to restrain the light emitted by the flying chariot, while releasing his spiritual sense, quietly spreading it towards there.

"Eh!"

His expression suddenly changed, and his face became uncertain.

After hesitating for a moment, he still put away the flying chariot, a faint green light flashed on his body, and he transformed into a blurred shadow, flying towards there.

A moment later, Han Li flew to a black mountain range and landed near a huge mountain depression.

He saw that within the mountain depression hundreds of miles ahead, various colors of light soared into the sky, and the sound of explosions like mountain calls and sea waves was endless, and the fighting was extremely fierce.

Three golden-robed cultivators, two men and one woman, were besieging an old man with white hair.

Those three, judging from their clothes, were all people from the Celestial Court. The leader was a yellow-haired man with a face full of horizontal flesh. Judging from the fluctuations of his aura, he was actually a Taiyi Initial Stage Inspector Immortal Envoy. The other two were a masked young woman and a somewhat obese young scholar, both of whom were Gold Immortal Late Stage cultivators.

And that white-haired old man was none other than Re Huo Xian Zun.

"Why is Re Huo Xian Zun here? And fighting with people from the Celestial Court..." Han Li's eyes flickered, and thoughts turned in his mind.

The yellow-haired man was surrounded by a thick layer of yellow mist, covering an area of tens of miles, emitting waves of powerful earth law fluctuations.

As the man formed incantation gestures with his hands, those yellow mists crashed down on Re Huo Xian Zun wave after wave like raging waves.

The other two each drove a purple giant sword that radiated lightning from the side, stabbing in like needles, which seemed to be two sets of immortal artifacts, and their power was also extremely extraordinary.

Thick purple lightning bolts occasionally bombarded out from the two giant swords, striking towards Re Huo Xian Zun.

The three joined forces to attack, cooperating seamlessly, and their power was amazing.

However, Re Huo Xian Zun, fighting one against three at the moment, although he had fallen into a disadvantage, was not in a very bad situation.

He saw a crimson banner floating above his head, embroidered with a silver peacock pattern, which looked extremely magnificent.

Thick fire pillars kept spewing out of the banner, forming a rolling sea of fire nearby, resisting the surrounding attacks.

However, the reason why Re Huo Xian Zun was able to block the combined attacks of the three nearby was not because of that crimson banner, but because of a dazzling golden light flashing around his waist.

It was an oval-shaped golden ancient mirror about a foot in size, giving people a very simple and unsophisticated feeling, as if it had been deposited in the river of time for a long time.

Waves of golden light radiated from the ancient mirror, spreading to a range of hundreds of feet nearby. As soon as the attacks of the yellow-haired man and the other two entered the range of the light waves, they immediately became ten times slower, and could not threaten Re Huo Xian Zun at all, and were easily avoided or blocked by him.

Han Li's pupils shrank. A strong law fluctuation radiated from the golden light waves, which was the time law.

That golden ancient mirror was clearly also a time immortal artifact, and its rank was not below the golden lock in his hand.

"Huo Chizi, be sensible and surrender early, explain that place, and the Celestial Court will not treat you badly!" Although the yellow-haired man could not do anything to Re Huo Xian Zun, he was not annoyed. He waved his hands and shouted.

Waves of yellow mist rolled out from his sleeves, crashing down on Re Huo Xian Zun from all directions, firmly entangling him.

The other two also flew rapidly around Re Huo Xian Zun, and thick lightning bolts struck down from all directions, blocking all of Re Huo Xian Zun's escape routes.

Seeing this scene, Han Li's eyes flashed slightly, and he seemed to realize something.

"What Huo Chizi, I am Re Huo Xian Zun, the elder of the Huo Ye Sect. Your Celestial Court is too unreasonable. Today, I will fight you!"

Re Huo Xian Zun shouted angrily, and suddenly opened his mouth to spray out a mass of crimson essence, which flashed into the red banner, while quickly chanting a spell.

The crimson banner suddenly expanded more than twice its size again, and red fire pillars that were several times thicker than before spewed out wildly.

These fire pillars flashed and merged into one, turning into a red giant sword the size of a mountain peak, slashing fiercely on the surrounding thick yellow mist with a whistling sound like a volcanic eruption.

With a "chila" sound, the yellow mist was torn open with a big mouth, and a lot of the yellow mist at the crack was evaporated by the impact of the flames on the giant sword.

Although the flame giant sword split a big mouth, its speed was greatly reduced, but the flames on the giant sword rolled, making a sound like a beast roaring, and it continued to slash outward.

"Hehe, with your Gold Immortal Late Stage cultivation, you also want to break my Myriad Miles of Yellow Sand Tent?" The yellow-haired man didn't care at all, and sneered repeatedly, pointing his hands with a hand gesture.

The nearby yellow mist immediately rolled up. The yellow light in front of the flame giant sword flashed, and the nearby yellow mist condensed. A yellow mountain peak the size of a thousand feet appeared out of thin air, lifelike, like a Maitreya giant mountain.

The flame giant sword slashed on the mountain peak, making a "boom" loud noise, and was immediately blocked.

Not only that, but streams of tentacle-like yellow light flew out from the surrounding yellow mist, all wrapped around the flame giant sword, layer by layer, making it impossible to move even a bit.
