"Brother Han, this is the eighty-third mirage illusion. From here, we'll start heading northeast," Lu Yuqing said, immediately noticing the abnormality ahead.

Hearing this, Han Li chanted incantations, and a dazzling golden light appeared around him, with the Mantra Treasure Wheel spinning and emerging.

He made hand gestures, and a huge pupil quickly appeared in the center of the Treasure Wheel, the Eye of Truth.

Faint golden light emanated from the pupil, looking ahead.

Immediately, the Azure Luan Flying Boat flashed with azure light and slightly changed direction, flying towards the northeast of the oasis.

Although Han Li changed direction, the oasis still appeared ahead, growing rapidly as the Flying Boat advanced.

Han Li did not try to avoid it, but directly urged the Flying Boat to enter the oasis.

The scene before his eyes suddenly changed, the surrounding desert environment disappeared, and the Flying Boat appeared in an oasis.

Everywhere he looked, there were lush, dense forests and lakes. Moist air rushed towards him, as if he had suddenly entered another cool world, and the previous heat was gone.

Not only that, but the surrounding oasis was constantly rotating, giving a sense of spatial disorientation and dizziness.

Han Li's expression was calm, as if he was used to this situation. He quickly made hand gestures, urging the Eye of Truth to look around.

Lu Yuqing immediately closed her eyes, sat cross-legged, and circulated her cultivation technique to protect her mind.

The Azure Luan Flying Boat flew forward steadily, unaffected by the changes in the surrounding environment.

After flying for a quarter of an hour, the surrounding oasis suddenly flashed, then shattered layer by layer like bubbles, disappearing into thin air.

The surrounding scenery flickered, and they returned to the sand sea again.

Han Li's eyes remained fixed on the front, without blinking, urging the Azure Luan Flying Boat to continue forward.

"I didn't expect these mirage illusions to be so powerful, impossible to avoid. Thanks to you, Brother Han, otherwise, even if I had the map and knew the correct route, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to move an inch," Lu Yuqing said with a soft sigh, slowly opening her eyes and smiling.

Han Li only smiled faintly upon hearing this.

"The location of the passage is not far from here, but according to the information I received, there is a Golden Immortal realm demon beast guarding it. It won't be easy to enter the passage," Lu Yuqing hesitated for a moment and then said.

"Do you know what kind of demon beast it is?" Han Li raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I don't know. I only heard that its strength is not weak, and it has been guarding the passage for many years," Lu Yuqing shook her head and said.

"It doesn't matter. We'll improvise when the time comes," Han Li nodded thoughtfully and said slowly.

Seeing Han Li's expression, Lu Yuqing felt inexplicably relieved.

In the blink of an eye, half a day passed.

During this period, they encountered several more mirage illusions, which Han Li broke through one by one with the help of the Eye of Truth.

According to Lu Yuqing's map, the location of the passage was not far ahead.

At this moment, Han Li was still moving forward in the Flying Boat, but his brow was slightly furrowed.

He no longer cared much about the mirage illusions in the sand sea. Now, the only thing he was worried about was the demon beast guarding the passage.

If it was true as Lu Yuqing said, this beast had been guarding the passage for many years. He wondered what it was like now and whether it had developed other magical powers.

As he pondered, a green shadow flashed ahead, and another oasis illusion appeared.

Han Li quickly stopped his thoughts, a golden light flashed on his body, and he used the Eye of Truth.

"This is the last mirage illusion before the entrance to the passage. There's no need to change direction; just go straight ahead," Lu Yuqing said, glancing at the map with her divine sense.

Hearing this, Han Li nodded. The Azure Luan Flying Boat shone with azure light, turning into a blue shadow and heading straight ahead, about to plunge into the oasis.

But at that moment, the void flashed, and four more oasis illusions appeared.

The five oasis illusions formed a pentagram shape, echoing each other and shining brightly, instantly turning into a huge green sphere of light.

Han Li and Lu Yuqing were both stunned at this sight, but it was too late to stop the Flying Boat.

The Azure Luan Flying Boat flashed and disappeared into the green sphere of light. The surrounding scenery changed, and the sand sea disappeared again.

However, this time, what appeared was not the previous oasis environment, but a hazy space.

Countless green shadows flickered around, intertwining and dancing, like a tangled mess.

A wave of extremely powerful illusionary power pressed in from all directions, more than ten times stronger than the previous oasis illusions.

"How could this be..." Lu Yuqing said with a shocked expression.

Before she could finish her words, a powerful illusionary force attacked, enveloping her body.

Lu Yuqing's eyes immediately became dull, and she stood there blankly, seemingly having her mind controlled by the illusion.

A wave of illusionary power also attacked Han Li. Although his resistance was naturally far greater than Lu Yuqing's, he still felt a little strained, with waves of dizziness assaulting his mind.

He took a deep breath and immediately activated the Refining Divine Art. A wave of coolness surged into his mind, and his confused divine sense returned to clarity.

At that moment, Lu Yuqing's hands and feet suddenly began to dance, and a hint of madness appeared in her originally dull eyes.

She suddenly turned to look at Han Li, her eyes filled with killing intent. A silver light flashed in her hand, and a silver longsword appeared out of thin air.

Dazzling silver sword light emerged from the sword. The silver sword light was pure and silky, like countless silver light threads.

The silver longsword blurred and turned into a blurry phantom, slashing down at Han Li.

Before the sword shadow arrived, an incomparably fierce sword intent had already arrived, like countless red-hot steel needles piercing Han Li's soul.

Even with Han Li's powerful soul, he still frowned and couldn't help but groan softly.

At the same time, he was shocked. He had never seen Lu Yuqing use swordsmanship during their journey together. This woman's sword art cultivation was so profound that her sword intent could injure the soul.

However, he was naturally not concerned about this small amount of damage.

He flicked his fingers five times, and five azure sword qi flew out, blocking the silver longsword and trying to shatter it.

But Lu Yuqing moved her wrist, and the silver longsword jumped up like a living fish. Then, incredibly, it twisted and broke free from the five sword qi.

Lu Yuqing's whole body suddenly burst into dazzling azure light, and her figure spun around, disappearing into thin air.

Han Li was stunned.

In the next moment, figures swayed around him, and five identical Lu Yuqings appeared out of thin air.

Each Lu Yuqing exuded a fierce and grim sword qi, completely different from before. The silver longsword in their hands shone even brighter, fiercely stabbing towards Han Li's vital points, extremely ruthless.

Clang!

All five silver longswords stabbed onto the layer of starlight crystalline membrane that appeared on Han Li's body and were blocked.

At the same time, the Eye of Truth in front of Han Li shone with golden light, scanning the five Lu Yuqings.

In the next moment, Han Li's eyes lit up, as if he understood something, and he suddenly opened his mouth.

A thick golden arc of lightning shot out from his mouth, hitting a Lu Yuqing on his left side with lightning speed.

That Lu Yuqing shouted and waved her arm, turning the silver longsword in her hand into a dense silver sword curtain to protect her whole body.

The golden arc of lightning struck the sword curtain, and there was a burst of crackling sounds. Nearly half of it was shattered by the sword shadows.

But the silver sword curtain also trembled violently, finally reaching its limit and collapsing with a crisp "pop".

The silver longsword in Lu Yuqing's hand also shattered, turning into countless silver fragments.

The remaining golden arc of lightning continued to strike Lu Yuqing.

Her figure was immediately sent flying like a broken sack, directly hitting the Flying Boat's cabin.

The other four Lu Yuqings trembled and then disappeared without a trace.

As a result, this Lu Yuqing groaned and leaped up again, her eyes full of ferocity, about to do something.

At that moment, the void around her flickered, and a thick, crystalline chain appeared out of thin air, entangling her like lightning.

These chains were silver-white, crystalline, and shimmering, and seemed to not be solid, the Chains of Divine Sense.

Lu Yuqing's body was immediately unable to move, but the frenzied expression on her face did not return to normal, and she was still struggling desperately.

Han Li quickly chanted incantations and flicked his finger, sending several magic seals flying out, merging into Lu Yuqing's body.

Countless runes appeared in the magic seals, emitting a sealing power.

As the magic seals entered her body, several crystalline rings appeared on Lu Yuqing's body, firmly encasing her.

The azure light protecting her body disappeared like snow meeting fire, and she softened and fell to the floor with a thud.

Seeing this, Han Li nodded slightly.

This was a secret technique he had created himself by comprehending the Seven Luminaries Star Ring and imitating its imprisoning power. It seemed that the effect was in line with expectations.

However, the scene just now made him feel a trace of doubt.

If the silver longsword in Lu Yuqing's hand had not been of such poor quality, just an ordinary magic treasure, not even a spiritual treasure, he might not have been able to subdue her.

Lu Yuqing's strength just now was much stronger than what she had shown throughout their journey.

Could this woman be deliberately hiding her strength?

Han Li took a deep look at the woman lying on the ground and immediately looked away.

He was still in a dangerous situation and could not care about Lu Yuqing.

The True Essence Membrane around him flashed and disappeared. He sat down cross-legged and looked at the hazy space around him.

Although this illusion was powerful, he could see that the surrounding hazy space was essentially the same as the previous oasis illusion.

With these experiences of breaking illusions, he was confident that he could break out of the formation.

Han Li chanted incantations, and all the Immortal Spiritual Power in his body surged, merging into the Mantra Treasure Wheel in front of him.

The Mantra Treasure Wheel immediately emitted a bright golden light. Especially the Eye of Truth in the center, under the flow of golden light, became crystal clear and dazzling.
