"Your Highness, according to the messages sent back by Lu Yue and the others, there seems to be no activity on the Cangliu Palace side either. They are still wandering around, unable to find the true location of the Taiyi Hall… As for the Fuling Sect, we haven't received any news for the time being," Xueying said respectfully.

"Whenever a rare treasure is born, there will be omens from the heavens. Calculating, there is not much time left until the Heavenly Furnace opens. Before long, anomalies will start appearing in the Secret Realm. Everyone is actively searching for the Taiyi Hall in order to arrive there before these anomalies appear and conceal these heavenly omens, so as to seize the initiative," Xiao Jinhan said slowly.

"Lu Yue and the others are doing their best to investigate. I believe they will find it soon…" Xueying said.

"What about Ouyang Kuishan and the others?" Xiao Jinhan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

"They are investigating the hilly area we passed through earlier. The Taiyi Hall should not be there," Xueying thought for a moment and said.

"If they behave themselves on this trip to the Immortal Mansion and don't do anything out of line, we can ease up on their control afterwards. Just give them a warning every five or six hundred years," Xiao Jinhan instructed.

Controlling people is like training a hawk or fishing, it's all about balancing tension and relaxation, not relying on relentless suppression. As the master of the Beihan Immortal Palace, he naturally understands this principle deeply.

"Yes," Xueying replied quickly.

"You may leave now. I want to be alone here for a while," Xiao Jinhan suddenly said with a slightly strange expression.

Xueying naturally didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly excused herself and left.

As soon as she left the cliff, a figure shrouded in black mist rose from the deep valley below the cliff and flew to Xiao Jinhan.

After bowing, he used a secret sound transmission technique to converse with Xiao Jinhan.

"Everything has been arranged on our side. Your Highness can rest assured," the black figure said, cupping his fist and bowing again at the end.

Xiao Jinhan listened to him without much change in his expression. In the end, he just nodded slightly and waved his hand to signal him to leave.

The black figure immediately flew down, disappeared into the deep valley, and vanished as a wisp of black smoke.

Xiao Jinhan glanced at the place where he disappeared, curled his lips, and seemed a little bored.

Just then, Xueying, who had left not long ago, suddenly returned, with a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.

"Found it?" Xiao Jinhan saw through her at a glance and asked directly.

"Ouyang Kuishan sent a message saying it's on their side," Xueying nodded and said.

"Let's go," Xiao Jinhan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he made a decisive decision.

With that, the two of them transformed into streaks of light and disappeared above the cliff.

...

Half a month later.

A ball of cyan light flew swiftly through the air. It was the Cyan Luan Flying Shuttle.

The ground below was still red, and the terrain was basically unchanged from the beginning. It was all a barren plain, devoid of life.

The only change was that clusters of red clouds began to appear in the sky, some large and some small, quietly suspended in the air, not drifting with the wind on the wasteland. They looked somewhat strange.

On the flying shuttle, Han Li sat cross-legged, holding a jade slip in his hand, pressed against his forehead.

This jade slip was a map. He had seen Lu Yuqing's map of the Immortal Mansion that day and drawn a copy based on his memory. Although it definitely couldn't compare to the original, it was still about 70-80% similar.

He observed the surrounding terrain while comparing it to the map, trying to find the location of this red wasteland, but after searching for these days, he was still unable to find the red wasteland on the map.

He frowned slightly and took down the jade slip from his forehead.

"It doesn't matter if you can't find it. It's more interesting when you don't know anything!" Jin Tong said listlessly, lying on the side, and yawned.

Han Li ignored Jin Tong, and his face showed a pensive look.

He didn't have Jin Tong's mindset.

Although he had now advanced to the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm and his strength had greatly increased, he didn't dare to be careless at all, as he didn't know what dangers might still be lurking in this secret realm.

After pondering for a while, he put away the jade slip and took out a scarlet communication array disk, which was the one that Hu Yan Taoist had given him.

Han Li performed hand seals, and one after another spell fell into the array disk.

The spirit patterns on the surface of the scarlet array disk lit up in circles, emitting bright red light, and formed a miniature scarlet magic array with interwoven rays.

He moved his lips slightly and sent a message.

The scarlet array disk rotated gently, and the light of the magic array flickered, but there was no response.

Han Li frowned slightly and waved his hand to put it away.

The communication array disk didn't respond. He wondered if something had happened to Hu Yan Taoist, or if the environment here was special and the communication array disk couldn't be used.

Han Li was silent for a moment, then stopped bothering to think about these things.

Since he still couldn't contact Hu Yan Taoist, he would just go alone for the time being. With his current strength, even if he encountered any danger, he would be able to resist it to some extent.

There were still many days left until the end of the secret realm. This area should still be explored for the first time in many years. Perhaps there might still be some gains to be made.

With that thought, he urged the hand seal, and the Cyan Luan Flying Shuttle lit up again, about to accelerate.

At that moment, a loud noise suddenly came from a distance, and the entire heaven and earth within a radius of tens of thousands of miles trembled slightly.

Han Li suddenly looked up, following the sound in one direction.

He saw clusters of dazzling white light appearing in the distant sky, rolling and surging, and making a huge sound like thousands of horses galloping.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth also trembled, rolling like a tide. Streaks of spiritual light seemed to crash like giant waves, and stirred up a monstrous hurricane, sweeping the sky and the earth.

An immense pressure came from that direction, which even Han Li felt alarmed by, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking.

With a wave of his hand, the Cyan Luan Flying Shuttle stopped.

But at that moment, the light in the distant sky suddenly fluctuated again.

This time it was different from just now, as it didn't spread outward, but contracted like a whale sucking water.

In the space of one or two breaths, all the clouds and light in the distant sky disappeared without a trace.

The originally turbulent spiritual energy of heaven and earth also quickly returned to calm, as if the shocking phenomenon just now had never happened.

Han Li frowned.

Jin Tong also jumped up at this moment, staring wide-eyed into the distance.

"That was an amazing celestial phenomenon just now. Could it be that some rare treasure was born? Han Li, let's go take a look!" Jin Tong's eyes rolled around, as if he had thought of something, and said.

"Judging from this commotion, it doesn't seem like a rare treasure was born. Those clouds of light seem to contain a lot of spatial power. It looks more like another secret realm has appeared," Han Li said cautiously without moving immediately.

"Who cares what was born? If we don't go, others will take the lead!" Jin Tong clamored.

"Then let's go take a look, but one thing, don't act rashly. Also, don't call me by my real name in front of people," Han Li's eyes flickered, and he nodded after a moment of pondering.

He was also very curious about what had happened there with such a phenomenon.

"Got it, Uncle, let's go!" Jin Tong replied with a smile.

Han Li was speechless for a moment, shook his head, and then tapped the flying shuttle with his foot. The Cyan Luan Flying Shuttle shone brightly and flew towards there.

...

Above a red hill, a cluster of crystal white light flew forward.

Standing on the white light were a group of people, the Beihan Immortal Palace group, Xiao Jinhan, Xueying, and several other Beihan Immortal Palace cultivators.

"Huh!" Xiao Jinhan's expression suddenly changed, and he waved his hand to cast a spell.

The crystal white light suddenly stopped, and he looked towards a direction to the left front.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Xueying asked.

"Just now in that direction, there seemed to be some anomaly," Xiao Jinhan said.

"Anomaly?" Xueying was stunned, she hadn't noticed anything.

A layer of white light appeared in her eyes as she looked in that direction.

"The location of the anomaly is too far away from here, so you can't sense it with your realm. And that anomaly has already disappeared now, it only lasted a few breaths," Xiao Jinhan shook his head and said.

"Could it be… the Taiyi Hall has finally appeared?" Xueying said with a gleam in her eyes.

The others trembled upon hearing this and looked at Xiao Jinhan.

Xiao Jinhan frowned slightly, and his face showed a hesitant expression.

Although he had sensed the distant anomaly just now, it was too far away, and he hadn't been able to sense it clearly.

At that moment, a white light flashed on Xiao Jinhan's body and disappeared.

He raised an eyebrow and pointed with one hand.

With a "swoosh", a ball of white light appeared, which was a communication array disk, emitting a circle of white light, forming a magic array.

The magic array fluctuated slightly, and a phantom appeared, which was Ouyang Kuishan.

"Your Highness, we have found the entrance to the Taiyi Hall!" Ouyang Kuishan said with a delighted expression.

"Oh, where is it? How did you find it?" Xiao Jinhan didn't show much joy on his face, but asked instead.

"Just now, an anomaly broke out at the entrance. I happened to be nearby and found it by chance. As for the location, it's here," Ouyang Kuishan said, and at the same time waved his hand, and a piece of light flew out, turning into a map.

On the map, a cyan light spot was jumping.

Xiao Jinhan's eyes flickered slightly. Judging from the map, the location of the entrance that Ouyang Kuishan mentioned was the direction of the anomaly that he had just sensed.

"Okay, I understand. You guys guard that entrance well, I'll go over later," Xiao Jinhan instructed.

"Your Highness, although the anomaly has disappeared now, the commotion just now was extremely loud. You should come quickly, otherwise if people from other forces come here, we won't be able to stop them," Ouyang Kuishan said.

"I have my own sense of propriety," Xiao Jinhan said with a cold expression.

"Yes," Ouyang Kuishan nodded.

Xiao Jinhan immediately cast a spell to interrupt the communication, and Ouyang Kuishan's figure trembled and disappeared.

He stood in place, frowning and pondering, as if considering something.
