Han Li and the others heard this and quickly looked at Immortal Hotfire's hand.

They saw the "Truth Bead" in his hand flashing with a shimmering light, and the golden inscriptions engraved on its surface were also radiating golden light.

"Is it a teleportation array?" Hu San stopped the flying boat and said with delight.

Immortal Hotfire glanced at him and nodded.

"Shi Daoyou, now it's up to you..." Han Li looked at Shi Chuan Kong and said.

Shi Chuan Kong did not speak, but slowly closed his eyes, clasped his hands in front of him, and chanted softly. A brilliant silver light bloomed from his palms, and spatial fluctuations rippled around him.

Then he suddenly opened his eyes, abruptly opened his hands, and raised his palms towards the sky in a gesture of opening the gate to heaven. The brilliant silver light immediately expanded rapidly from his palms, turning into a faint silver light curtain that spread around.

As the faint silver light curtain slowly expanded, the surrounding lotus leaves and shimmering water all dissipated like morning mist, and the illusionary dust and smoke were pushed away layer by layer, surging towards the surroundings.

The silver light curtain finally stopped expanding after stretching out for more than a thousand zhang, and the space within this thousand-zhang radius finally revealed its original swampy appearance.

Han Li's eyes shone with purple light, and after a sweep of his gaze, he immediately discovered that a pile of white rocks stood abruptly on a patch of muddy ground covered with dense water grass a thousand zhang ahead.

"It's over there."

Following Han Li's guidance, Hu San immediately steered the spirit boat and flew over, arriving at the pile of rocks.

The pile of rocks on the muddy ground was only a few zhang wide, and it looked like the ruins of a broken stone pillar.

"Alas, this is a rune stone pillar of the teleportation array. The entire array is already unrecognizable and useless." Immortal Hotfire sighed, somewhat regretfully.

"It doesn't matter. How easy is it to find the Truth Gate ruins?" Hu San didn't mind, and said.

Han Li and the others nodded and continued to move forward into the depths of the fog.

...

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

Han Li and the others drifted around in the misty smoke of the Illusionary Mist Swamp, searching everywhere. Although they occasionally discovered some ruins, they were mostly broken walls and ruined tiles, broken doors and rotten pillars. With great difficulty, they encountered a few teleportation arrays, but they were all severely damaged and could no longer be used.

"Li Daoyou, now that we have moved away from the Youfu Island area, should we consider changing direction and looking again?" Hu San steered the silver flying boat slowly and asked.

"Well, we can try going towards Illusionary Mist City." Han Li pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

Just then, Immortal Hotfire suddenly said, "Everyone, don't rush. There is another teleportation array nearby."

"Alright, it's good to take a look." Hu San said expressionlessly.

Regarding the teleportation array, not only had Hu San lost his initial enthusiasm and joy, but Han Li and Shi Chuan Kong also didn't have much hope.

However, when Shi Chuan Kong broke through the illusion, the group was amazed by the scene before them.

They saw seven or eight huge white stone pillars standing on a white sandbar a thousand zhang away. They were engraved with complex runes, but there was no spiritual power fluctuation coming from them.

The group quickly drove the boat to the sandbar, and only then did they see the full picture of the teleportation array.

It was surrounded by eleven white stone pillars, only seven of which were still standing intact in place, with another half standing upright, and the remaining ones had completely collapsed.

Immortal Hotfire stepped forward to inspect it for a moment, and his brow couldn't help but furrow as he said, "This is one of the eight teleportation arrays outside the mountain gate. It's too badly damaged to be of any use."

Han Li turned a deaf ear to his words and walked around the entire stone pillar for a moment, then carefully examined the array patterns in the center of the teleportation array, revealing a hint of contemplation.

"Shi Daoyou, do you have any items on you that contain the power of spatial laws?" After a moment, he stood up and asked Shi Chuan Kong.

"Li Daoyou, are you saying you want to use spatial objects to replace the stone pillars to repair the array? Forgive me for speaking frankly, it won't work." Shi Chuan Kong hesitated slightly and said.

"Whether it works or not, it's best to try it first." Han Li grinned and said.

"Brother Shi, don't you have a pair of stone lions? Don't be stingy, take them out and use them. If they break, I'll compensate you." Hu San put his arm around his shoulder and said with a smile.

"Can you really repair it?" Shi Chuan Kong ignored Hu San and looked at Han Li, still asking with doubt.

"Thirty percent chance, dare to bet on it?" Han Li held up three fingers and gestured, saying.

"My gambling luck hasn't been very good lately, I'm afraid I'll lose again this time." Shi Chuan Kong hesitated slightly, somewhat helplessly.

Having said that, he flipped his palm, and a pair of three-foot-tall gray-white stone lions immediately appeared and landed on the ground.

Han Li smiled and waved his hand, and the gray-white stone lions were wrapped in a wisp of azure light and floated away, landing on the teleportation array.

Then, he turned his wrist, took out one formation plate and formation flag after another, and began to arrange them on the ground.

Several hours later.

"It's done." Han Li straightened up after putting down the last formation plate and said.

"This is... done?" Hu San also looked at the scene with some doubt.

"Spatial objects can replace the stone pillars, and the spatial power contained within can support the operation of the entire array, but the remaining formation plates and formation flags are not so strong. It is estimated that they will only operate for a moment before they are damaged," Han Li explained.

"Only a moment... is that enough to teleport us over?" Immortal Hotfire asked doubtfully.

"Fortunately, this array was originally designed to teleport hundreds of people at the same time, so it's not a problem to teleport a few of us. Now everything is ready, and all that's missing is the east wind." Han Li clapped his hands and looked at Hu San.

"What else is needed?" Hu San asked doubtfully.

"Immortal Essence Stones... Judging from the looks of it, it should require middle-grade or above." Han Li pointed to the few grooves on the ground and said with a smile.

"Li Daoyou, Li Daoyou, it's just a few Immortal Essence Stones, why couldn't you arrange them all together?" Hu San said helplessly.

"This casual cultivator has a hard time saving up a little wealth, especially since middle-grade Immortal Essence Stones are not as common as low-grade ones. I don't have many on me in total," Han Li said with a smile.

Hearing this, Hu San exchanged a glance with Shi Chuan Kong, and they both laughed at the same time.

They originally didn't believe that Han Li was an unattached casual cultivator, especially after seeing his many methods. But now, seeing his stingy demeanor, they really believed it a little.

After the group stood in the center of the array, Hu San immediately took out several middle-grade Immortal Essence Stones and embedded them into the array one by one.

Han Li then cast a magic spell, and the entire array burst into light, engulfing the figures of the four people.

After the figures of the group disappeared, the light on the array immediately dimmed. The two stone lions were indeed intact, and most of the formation plates and formation flags were actually preserved.

...

A moment later, the figures of Han Li and the others appeared in front of a huge mountain gate.

The magnificent mountain gate, along with a large white stone square, floated in the void, surrounded by clouds and mist. It seemed to be separated by a layer of spatial barriers, and even divine sense could not penetrate it.

In front of the mountain gate stood several towering stone pillars, so high that they disappeared into the thick clouds. The gate was shrouded in a thick white light curtain, which was clearly some kind of powerful restriction.

Immortal Hotfire stood in front of the mountain gate and looked up, his eyes shining with a crystalline light, and his whole person was lost in reminiscence.

With a loud "boom," he was awakened from his memories.

When he turned his head to look, he discovered that Shi Chuan Kong was trying to bombard the white light restriction.

However, no matter what methods he used, the light curtain only trembled violently, but showed no signs of breaking.

"Let me try."

After Hu San said this, his figure flashed, and his entire body suddenly swelled a hundred times, raising a palm into a grasping claw and fiercely grabbing towards the white light curtain.

Five giant claw prints, each a hundred zhang long, emerged from the void and slammed into the white light curtain.

"Zizlala..."

A dazzling five-colored electric light burst out from the white light curtain, shaking the surrounding void until it rumbled.

However, after the electric light subsided, the white light curtain remained as before, without the slightest change.

"Don't waste your energy. This restriction contains the power of spatial laws, and it seems that there is also the power of temporal laws mixed in. Ordinary methods can't break it at all," Shi Chuan Kong said.

Although Han Li hadn't taken action, he had basically come to the same conclusion by observing the movements of their attacks.

Hearing this, Hu San immediately restrained his figure, restored his original appearance, and asked, "Is it so evil? Since you can see the trick, is there a way to break it?"

"I can arrange a formation to weaken the spatial power within the restriction by targeting the spatial power. After that, if all of us attack together, we might be able to break this restriction," Shi Chuan Kong said after a moment of thought.

"The matter should not be delayed, let's start arranging it quickly," Hu San said, cracking his knuckles.

...

At the same time, several hundred miles away from Illusionary Mist City, at the edge of Illusionary Mist Swamp, a man with a towering figure as tall and stout as an iron tower stood with his hands behind his back, facing the swamp. His fiery red hair was tied up high, and he looked majestic.

His face had distinct edges and corners, and his appearance was five-tenths similar to that of the human race. However, his nose was cyan-black and coarse, like a rhino's horn, and his ears were also very long and pointed, with two large golden rings hanging down.

At this moment, the man was looking at the vast illusionary smoke in the swamp, his face cold and grim, seeming somewhat angry.

At this time, a streak of emerald light shot from the distant horizon, and when it was still hundreds of miles away from him, it was enveloped by a layer of fiery red spirit domain, and then wrapped in a ball of scarlet fire, instantly arriving in front of the alien man.

There was a loud "boom"!

Where the emerald light landed, an emerald jade flying chariot suddenly appeared, crashing heavily on the ground.

A red-haired burly man, a bamboo pole-like man, and a handsome man in red clothes simultaneously leaped out of the flying chariot, bowing towards the alien man with some embarrassment and saying, "Greetings, Lord Chi Rong..."

These three people were none other than Gongshu Tian, his senior brother Wang Xiaosen, and his personal disciple Feng Qingyuan.

"You are a full half-month later than the time I told you..." the alien man said coldly.
