“I can give it a try,” Lu Yuqing said after considering it.

“Thank you for your trouble,” Han Li nodded.

Lu Yuqing stepped forward, waved her hand, and a flash of light appeared in her palm. It was an octagonal black jade, engraved with some very strange spiral patterns, layered on top of each other, which made people a little dizzy just looking at it.

“This is the key to the Inter界碑 in our mansion. It is said to have been passed down from our ancestors along with the Inter界碑. I’m not sure if this key can be used here,” Lu Yuqing said. She raised a palm, pinched a magic formula, and struck it towards the jade.

A beam of cyan light flew into the jade, and the spiral patterns on it suddenly rotated, spraying out a black light that projected onto the Inter界碑.

A spiral pattern also appeared on the Inter界碑, and after twisting a few times, a palm-sized black vortex emerged from the middle and slowly rotated.

However, the vortex was sometimes big and sometimes small, as if a mysterious force wanted to constantly expand it, but at the same time, another force wanted to compress it.

“Could it be…” Han Li’s brow furrowed slightly upon seeing this.

“Brother Han, it seems that my key doesn’t completely match this Inter界碑. Quickly inject more immortal spiritual power into the jade to help me open the Inter界碑,” Lu Yuqing called out.

Without saying a word, Han Li immediately raised his palm and struck the jade in Lu Yuqing’s hand. The incomparably abundant immortal spiritual power in his body surged out and poured into the jade.

In an instant, the black beam of light spewing out from the black jade suddenly thickened, causing a layer of black light to ripple across almost the entire surface of the stele, twisting incessantly.

At the same time, the vortex, which was originally only the size of a palm in the center, seemed to have overcome the mysterious force that wanted to suppress it, and gradually grew larger at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Lu Yuqing’s face immediately revealed a happy expression, and Han Li’s spirits also lifted.

The black vortex on the Inter界碑 rotated faster and faster, and suddenly, a burst of dark light burst out from it, emitting a strange attraction force that swallowed Han Li and Lu Yuqing in one fell swoop.

Han Li only felt a dizzying sensation, and his vision first went dark, then brightened again.

Before he could steady himself and see the surrounding situation clearly, the remaining flying swords in his sleeve went berserk again.

This time, the momentum was several times more rapid than before!

Before he could stop them, dozens of cyan lights surged out from his cuff at the same time, drawing extremely long cyan rainbows in the air, like dozens of cyan dragons rushing towards the sky, disappearing into the sea of clouds in an instant.

Han Li smiled wryly, somewhat helplessly shaking his empty sleeves, and looked ahead.

In front of him stood a towering giant peak that reached into the clouds.

The surface of Giant Peak was densely vegetated, with large patches of green visible as far as the eye could see, revealing a vibrant vitality, completely different from the environment he had been in before.

Everything before him was so different from what he had seen before that Han Li even suspected that he had once again fallen into an illusion.

However, after investigating with the Bright Sight Spirit Eyes and the True Sight Eyes respectively, he discovered that this place was not an illusion, but a genuine real world.

Just as he was puzzled, the space beside him twisted for a moment, and Lu Yuqing’s figure also appeared beside him with a stumble.

“Brother Han, have we already entered the Inter界碑?” Lu Yuqing was also very puzzled by the scene before her, and couldn’t help but ask.

“I think so. This place is a bit strange. Now all of my natal flying swords have flown to that mountain,” Han Li pointed to the direction of the mountain peak.

Before, because the connection with the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords was blocked, Han Li seemed a little anxious. At this moment, after arriving at the foot of this mountain through the Inter界碑, although all the flying swords had flown out, the connection with the flying swords had returned, and he felt a little relieved.

“Now that we’ve entered this place, those people from Ten Directions Tower probably won’t be able to chase us anymore. Since the swords are on the mountain, let’s go and retrieve them, and then quickly join up with those fellow Daoists from True Flame Sect,” Lu Yuqing said with a glint in her eyes.

“Let’s go.”

Han Li said indifferently, and at the same time waved his sleeve, and his whole body turned into a cyan light, rising directly into the sky.

However, he only rose a hundred feet, and the wind and clouds above his head suddenly changed color, and an invisible pressure arose spontaneously.

Immediately afterwards, the clouds on the curtain of heaven suddenly pressed down a little, and an incomparably vast sword energy rolled down from the high altitude. Countless semi-transparent sword lights swarmed in densely, like thousands of troops charging, with an extremely majestic momentum.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yuqing, who had just flown up, quickly fell back down, her face as white as a sheet.

Han Li was in mid-air, his eyes flashed slightly, and blue light spots lit up around his body. He suddenly raised a fist and slammed it towards the many sword lights.

An invisible fist gang rushed straight up towards the sky like a boat against the current.

With a loud “boom”.

The curtain of heaven trembled for a while, as if the entire void had been shattered, making a series of “crackling” sounds.

The downward momentum of the many sword lights suddenly slowed down, and countless sword lights exploded where they met the fist gang, shattering into countless visible crystal fragments, revealing a huge hollow in the middle.

Seeing this, Han Li stretched his body and shot towards the hollow.

However, before he could fly to the edge of the hole, the clouds above seemed to suppress it downward again, and a layer of silver sword light emerged out of thin air in the void above the hole, filling the hollow and crushing down on Han Li again.

His brow couldn’t help but furrow slightly, and he raised his palm and waved it upwards.

A piece of black light burst out from his palm, turning into a black giant wheel with hollow patterns in the middle, flying towards the silver sword light with a “whoosh” sound.

“Zheng zheng zheng…”

A series of sharp metallic clashing sounds rang out, making people’s ears sore.

The Heavy Water True Wheel has been refined by Han Li many times, especially after adding the second layer of Heavy Water, its power has now reached an incredible level.

The Water Dao patterns on it shone brightly, making the wheel’s body even darker, looking like a black sun.

Under Han Li’s urging, the Heavy Water True Wheel was like a huge black millstone, constantly crushing the many sword lights into powder as it spun wildly.

However, as the layers of sword light were defeated, the clouds in the high altitude became lower and lower, and the sword light emerging from the void became denser and denser, and changed from the original semi-transparent state to become more and more solid.

Han Li only felt that the surrounding space seemed to be squeezed and twisted slightly, and the surrounding atmosphere seemed to become more and more solemn and heavy.

After several attempts, Han Li finally confirmed that if he ignored it and fought hard, he might be able to rely on his Profound Immortal physique and supernatural powers to fly to the top of this mountain, but it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not be damaged as a result.

Currently in this Nethercold Immortal Mansion, the possible dangers are endless. Although he was worried about the situation of the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, he was unwilling to continue to risk flying to the top of the peak.

So he fell back to the ground and said to Lu Yuqing, “The sword energy here has accumulated for many years, it is really too vast, there is no way to fly up, we can only climb the mountain on foot.”

“At our pace, it won’t take much time to climb the mountain on foot,” Lu Yuqing nodded.

After speaking, the two followed the stone road under their feet and rushed towards the entrance of the mountain.

Since Han Li no longer forcibly flew into the air, the clouds that had pressed down before also began to slowly rise, returning to their original state, and it seemed that no other obstacles were created for the two to climb the mountain on foot.

Arriving at the entrance of the mountain, the two saw a tall stone memorial archway standing at the entrance, with a huge plaque carved on it, with four large characters written in Golden Seal Script.

“Lifeless Sword Sect”

The brushstrokes were vigorous and flamboyant, yet elegant and unrestrained, like a sharp sword cast, with its sharpness fully exposed, yet with a bit of unrestrained spirit.

With a sweep of his eyes, Han Li first felt an unspeakable vast sword intent coming towards him, and couldn’t help but take a few steps back subconsciously, but then he was stunned.

This Lifeless Sword Sect has always been known for its mysterious inheritance. It suddenly disappeared a million years ago, so that later generations did not know where its sect was located. Unexpectedly, it was here?

While thinking, he glanced at Lu Yuqing beside him out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that this woman did not reveal anything different, he did not know whether it was because she was not good at swordsmanship, so she could not feel the sword intent contained in it?

“My natal flying swords were attracted and flew into it on their own. Could it be that there is a sword-suppressing formation in this sect?” Connecting the previous cloud sword light, Han Li couldn’t help but make such a guess.

After thinking about it for a while, he and Lu Yuqing bypassed the stone memorial archway and continued to climb the mountain.

The ancient winding mountain road circled around the mountainside like a long snake.

Han Li and Lu Yuqing hurried along the mountain road, and along the way they encountered many buildings hidden in the mountains and forests. After checking, they found that they were all ordinary houses without the protection of formations and restrictions.

Under the baptism of time, most of them have become dilapidated.

The higher the two climbed, the quieter the surrounding environment became. In the mountains and forests, there were only towering ancient trees, but no flying birds or walking beasts. Everywhere was filled with a quiet and solemn atmosphere.

When passing through a lush bamboo forest, Han Li suddenly stopped, and saw a dark cyan bamboo house deep in the dense forest.

After a slight hesitation, he turned and walked towards the bamboo forest along the stone path.

Seeing Han Li suddenly change direction without saying a word, Lu Yuqing was a little curious, but just silently followed behind him.

Han Li walked for a while, and found some abnormalities. He saw many sword marks on the dense bamboo on his side. The color had already turned dark, and it was obviously an old scar from many years ago.

After a moment, he stopped, grabbed a thick bamboo with a blue-purple color next to him, and grabbed it downwards with his five fingers.

The bamboo body immediately made a “creaking” sound, but it did not break immediately.

Han Li raised his eyebrows, let out a soft “Huh”, and the force on his hand increased a bit.

Only a “snap” sound was heard!

The bamboo body finally burst open, popping out countless fine iron-like fragments, scattered on the surrounding bamboo, making a burst of bean-like sounds.
