"Did he leave?"

Just as Gan Jiuzhen paused, gazing at the distant horizon, a ripple appeared beside her, and a figure materialized out of thin air – it was the Lord of Reincarnation.

However, his figure appeared somewhat hazy and transparent, merely a projected avatar.

Gan Jiuzhen simply nodded silently, seemingly unsurprised by the Lord of Reincarnation's appearance.

"What do you think of him now?" the Lord of Reincarnation asked.

"He feels terrifying now, completely different from before. 'Profound as an abyss, vast as the sea' is not enough to describe it. I've only felt this way from you before. How has his strength changed so much?" Gan Jiuzhen steadied herself and said.

"If I'm not mistaken, he has already severed his Benevolent Self. His strength is not far from mine," the Lord of Reincarnation said with a faint smile.

"Really? Does that mean he has broken through from the mid-stage of Grand Luo to the late-stage in such a short time?" Gan Jiuzhen's expression suddenly changed.

"How he did it is of no concern to me. But you must remember this: the Supreme Laws are called 'Supreme' because they are closer to the origin of the Heavenly Dao. Especially after severing the 'Evil Self' and the 'Benevolent Self,' the Supreme Laws can begin to merge with the Heavenly Dao. Strength is incomparable to what it was before. The Law of Reincarnation is like this, and so is the Law of Time," the Lord of Reincarnation slowly said.

"I had only heard of the special nature of the Supreme Laws before. Now I have a more intuitive understanding. It seems I must also hurry," Gan Jiuzhen took a deep breath and clenched her fists.

"With every gain, there is a price to pay. Those who cultivate the Supreme Laws face an even more arduous path, especially those who enter the Grand Luo realm, where every step is filled with apprehension. The True Immortal World is vast, and countless capable individuals strive to comprehend the Supreme Laws, but what is the result? You must not let this stir your heart. You have your own path," the Lord of Reincarnation saw through Gan Jiuzhen's thoughts and said directly.

"Yes," Gan Jiuzhen said sheepishly.

"If you are so inclined, starting today, you can travel among mortals," the Lord of Reincarnation said.

"Travel among mortals?" Gan Jiuzhen was taken aback.

"If goodness does not exist, how can one sever it? Most cultivators have lost their initial goodness during their cultivation process, even falling short of ordinary mortals. Only by understanding what is good can one act purposefully," the Lord of Reincarnation said meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Gan Jiuzhen seemed to understand something, but she did not immediately grasp the meaning of the words and remained speechless.

"Unintentional goodness can bring some blessings to the soul during reincarnation. Even if I can control the Six Paths of Reincarnation, it is not easy to change the fate of those who are truly good…" the Lord of Reincarnation continued, as if talking to himself.

"Yes, I understand. Father, are you... really going to keep your appointment?" Gan Jiuzhen nodded thoughtfully, then looked up and asked.

"The war between us and the Heavenly Court is inevitable. Your mother has been captured by the Heavenly Court. Jiuzhen, nothing can happen to you," the Lord of Reincarnation looked at Gan Jiuzhen, his tone softening slightly.

"I want to go with you to save Mother," Gan Jiuzhen said.

"No. You stay here obediently and don't leave this place!" the Lord of Reincarnation said sternly.

This was the first time Gan Jiuzhen had seen the Lord of Reincarnation in such a state. Her heart was shaken, but her gaze towards the Lord of Reincarnation still held a hint of determination.

"Only if you are safe can I wholeheartedly deal with the Heavenly Court. Leave your mother's matter to me and that Han Li," the Lord of Reincarnation sighed softly, patted Gan Jiuzhen's shoulder, and then disappeared.

Gan Jiuzhen stared at the void in front of her, opened her mouth, and remained standing there for a long time before turning and flying towards the depths of the palace.

…

Dragon Abyss Immortal Domain, Heavenly Sea Continent, Mist Dragon City.

The Dragon Abyss Immortal Domain is incredibly rich in water resources. More than 80% of the entire Immortal Domain is a vast ocean, and only 20% is land. Islands, scattered like stars, are distributed throughout the Immortal Domain.

Heavenly Sea Continent is the largest continent in the Dragon Abyss Immortal Domain, and Mist Dragon City is the largest city on Heavenly Sea Continent.

Mist Dragon City is built by the sea, with a very advantageous geographical location, located at the junction of several continents. The city is extremely prosperous and known throughout the entire Dragon Abyss Immortal Domain.

However, the Mist Dragon Sect outside Mist Dragon City is even more famous.

The Mist Dragon Sect is an extremely ancient sect in the Dragon Abyss Immortal Domain. It was founded countless years ago and has always been the leading sect in the Dragon Abyss Immortal Domain.

Later, Feng Qingshui, a genius cultivator who appeared once in ten thousand generations within the sect, rose rapidly and eventually broke through to the Dao Ancestor realm in one fell swoop. The Mist Dragon Sect's reputation greatly increased, resounding throughout the True Immortal World.

The Mist Dragon Sect is now at its zenith, with strong internal strength and a thriving scene.

In the center of Mist Dragon City, there is a square that is a hundred miles in size. Squads of guards in blue robes patrol the square.

These people are all outer disciples of the Mist Dragon Sect, responsible for maintaining the stability of Mist Dragon City.

Not only Mist Dragon City, but the entire Heavenly Sea Continent is basically under the jurisdiction of the Mist Dragon Sect. It is difficult for the Immortal Palace of the Dragon Abyss Immortal Domain to interfere.

In the center of the square stands a huge blue memorial arch, towering into the clouds like a blue giant peak.

The memorial arch is engraved with countless arrays, which cover the entire arch like spider webs. Arrays spread down from the memorial arch, radiating to all parts of the square below.

There are densely packed teleportation arrays on the square, large and small, more than a thousand in total. Each teleportation array is connected to the memorial arch by arrays, and all are shining at this moment.

These teleportation arrays connect to major immortal domains of the True Immortal World, and countless people come and go every day.

A white light flashed in a teleportation array, and six figures appeared in the array and walked out.

Five of them were talking and laughing, seemingly close, while one man in a green robe was slightly distant.

"Wow! This is Mist Dragon City. It's really spectacular, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so rich. It's much better than our Heavenly Heng Immortal Domain," a blue-clothed girl among the five took a deep breath and exclaimed.

"Of course, the Dragon Abyss Immortal Domain is one of the thirty-six major domains, so it is naturally much stronger than the Heavenly Heng Immortal Domain. It was worth it for our five siblings to put all our wealth on the line to buy the teleportation talisman to come here," said another old man in black.

This person had reached the Golden Immortal realm and had the highest cultivation level among the five. He was clearly the leader of the group.

The other four people showed joy on their faces upon hearing this.

"Of course, we must also thank Fellow Daoist Han. Otherwise, we would not have been able to raise enough money for the teleportation," the old man in black looked at the man in green robe beside him and said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Huo is too polite. It's just mutually beneficial. The teleportation array can teleport six people at a time. Han is grateful that the five of you are willing to accept me to travel with you, which saved me a lot of immortal essence stones," the man in green robe said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Han is too polite," the old man in black nodded to the man in green robe.

"Now we have very few immortal essence stones left. Hard times are still ahead. We must work hard here in the future and strive to gain a foothold here as soon as possible," he then turned to the other four people and said.

"Yes," the other four people replied in unison.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you are also a rogue cultivator. Why don't you join us? It's good to have more people to take care of each other," the old man in black turned to look at the man in green robe next to him and said.

"Han has other important matters to attend to and will not be traveling with you. I wish you all a smooth cultivation," the man in green robe smiled slightly and cupped his hands.

A hint of disappointment appeared on the face of the old man in black, but he did not say anything. He cupped his hands slightly to the man in green robe and flew towards the city with the other four people.

The man in green robe did not leave immediately, but looked around.

"Hey, cultivator, this teleportation square is not your backyard where you can stand around randomly. Leave quickly!" A tall and thin guard nearby saw the man in green robe standing still, and thought that he was shocked by the scene in the city. In addition to secretly feeling proud, he shouted coldly.

The man in green robe acted as if he hadn't heard anything and stood still.

The tall and thin guard's face darkened. A rogue cultivator from a small immortal domain dared to ignore him, a member of the Mist Dragon Sect. He was about to go over and drive him away, while also severely punishing him.

But when the tall and thin guard approached within ten feet of the other party, his angry footsteps slowly stopped, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

The man in green robe was clearly standing there, doing nothing, but as soon as he approached him, his soul couldn't help but begin to tremble, and the closer he got, the more violent the soul trembled.

This man in green robe was Han Li. After returning to the Black Wind Sea Area from the Underworld, he traveled at full speed and finally arrived at this Dragon Abyss Immortal Domain.

At this moment, his divine sense spread out, exploring the situation here.

The Dragon Abyss Immortal Domain is too large, far larger than the Crane Ridge Immortal Domain. Even Han Li's divine sense at this moment cannot completely cover it, and can only explore half of the immortal domain.

However, the Heavenly Sea Continent where he was located was completely covered by his divine sense, and everything in the Mist Dragon Sect was also taken into his eyes.

But then, his brows furrowed slightly.

Not only Nangong Wan, but even Feng Qingshui's aura could not be sensed at all.

Nangong Wan was the most familiar to him, and Feng Qingshui, although he was the venerable Dao Ancestor, how could he hide from the scan of his divine sense, which had reached the seventh level of the Refining Divine Technique, achieved by overdrafting the power of his soul from lifetime after lifetime?

"Could it be that Jiuzhen's intelligence is inaccurate?" Han Li guessed in his heart. After pondering for a while, he turned to look at the guard not far away, and a hazy light appeared in his eyes.

The tall and thin guard's eyes immediately became blurred, and then countless memory lights and shadows appeared in his pupils, which were all the experiences of the tall and thin guard from childhood to adulthood, flashing extremely quickly.

With the experience of traveling through the True Immortal World, seeing countless customs, cultures, and all kinds of people, Han Li now had a more convenient control over the Refining Divine Technique, and had reached the point of ease. It was naturally easy to explore the memory of a Taiyi Realm cultivator. It was not at all like the domineering soul searching of the past.

Han Li quickly finished exploring the person's memory. Although it was not much, he finally understood some information about the Mist Dragon Sect. With a flash of his figure, he disappeared from the spot.

In the distance, the dazed light in the eyes of the tall and thin guard suddenly disappeared, and the person instantly recovered with a jolt.

"Huh, what happened just now?" The tall and thin guard frowned, feeling like something was missing from his mind.

He reached out and scratched his head, and looked around, but soon shook his head again. After muttering a few words, he continued to patrol the square.
