00:00Welcome back to Novel Studio. Today, we're diving into a record of a mortal's journey to immortality.

00:06Immortal Realm. This story isn't just about cultivation and power. It teaches us patience,

00:13strategy, survival, and long-term thinking. Han Lee's journey shows that true strength comes

00:19not from talent alone, but from caution, intelligence, and persistence. Let's break

00:26down this chapter and uncover the lessons hidden within the path to immortality.

00:31After making sure Liu Lier's breathing and aura had stabilized, Han Lee settled back onto the

00:38ground, crossing his legs. He reached into his collar and retrieved, the small light green vial

00:43he always wore around his neck. Dark green leaf patterns adorned its surface, intricate and

00:49lifelike. Han Lee ran his fingers over it, lost in thought for a long moment, before finally

00:55tucking it away and calling out, Mo Guang! The chamber remained silent, the sound of his voice

01:01echoing faintly. Moments later, the shadow in front of him rippled and stretched slightly.

01:06From it, a dark humanoid figure emerged, splitting off and rising to its full height. His skin was as

01:12black as ink, and his features resembled Han Lee's own. He wore a black robe, his hair loose around

01:19his shoulders, exuding an unsettling aura of decay. Long time no see, fellow Taoist Han,

01:25the figure said, his voice wooden. His gaze fixed on Han Lee. Han Lee frowned.

01:31What happened, Mo Guang? How did you become like this? I don't know. I awakened a few years before

01:37you did, and discovered my spiritual nature was gone, leaving only a wisp of my soul.

01:43Bound by the heavenly devil contract, I can only reside in your shadow. I cannot appear unless

01:49summoned, or when you are in danger, Mo Guang replied mechanically. Han Lee fell silent, then

01:55asked, Do you remember what happened before you fell into slumber? Everything before your ascension

02:00is clear, but after that, I only recall you leaving the ascension. Platform with Gao Sheng.

02:06My memories end there, Mo Guang answered. Han Lee nodded. I see. My own memories are similarly cut

02:14off from that moment. We'll have to find Gao Sheng to know exactly what occurred. But for now,

02:19our situation is far from ideal. I searched that man's soul. This place is the spirit domain realm,

02:26below the northern glacial immortal region, and three centuries have passed. We've lost three hundred

02:32years of memories. That is indeed terrible. Do you have a plan, fellow Taoist Han? Mo Guang asked.

02:39Han Lee raised an eyebrow. You are a heavenly, devilish monarch, even if only a wisp of your soul

02:45remains. Surely you retain some abilities. I have lost nearly all magic power and techniques.

02:51Only low-grade secret skills remain, Mo Guang replied. Despite this, Han Lee seemed reassured.

02:56This is better than I imagined. Compared to you, I am in a worse state. My treasures and pills are

03:02gone, my magic power depleted, my body and soul severely damaged. I am a shadow of my former

03:08self. The only good news is that I have awakened. With the right spirit medicines, I should recover

03:13quickly. I can also sense fellow Taoist, Shi and the gold-devouring beetle monarch. Through soul

03:19contracts, though I do not know their location yet, Mo Guang considered this. To find Gao Sheng,

03:26you'll need to return to the northern glacial immortal region. Ascending from a realm directly below is

03:31easier. But it will require an ascension platform and immense magic power to protect your body and

03:38forcibly break through the realm's boundaries. Han Lee's expression remained calm. There's no rush.

03:45I have time to plan. One thing is certain. Whoever caused me to fall to this state,

03:50I will settle accounts once I return to the immortal realm. Mo Guang remained silent. Will you continue to

03:56follow me, Mo Guang? I am in a terrible state, and you are free to leave if you wish, Han

04:01Lee said.

04:02There's no need to test me. Even weakened, the heavenly devil contract binds me. Attempting to

04:08leave would endanger me further, Mo Guang replied. A faint smile crossed Han Lee's face. Very well. I will

04:15ensure you do not regret your choice. Once I regain my power, I will restore your soul and spiritual nature.

04:21For now, we must gather information and resources to recover my magic. I will leave it to you,

04:27fellow Taoist Han. I cannot remain visible for long. So I will return to rest, Mo Guang said,

04:33transforming into black mist that vanished into Han Lee's shadow. Han Lee exhaled and glanced at Liu

04:40Leher, still asleep. He closed his eyes to rest as well. Half a day later, Liu Leher awoke.

04:47She immediately saw Han Lee, seated with legs crossed and eyes closed, and Taoist Master White

04:53Stone standing cautiously nearby. At that same moment, Han Lee opened his eyes and smiled.

04:59You're finally awake. Liu Leher froze, her gaze complex.

05:03Brother Rock, you're all cured now. Han Lee shook his head gently.

05:08Leher, my name is Han Lee. Call me Brother Han from now on.

05:11Her face fell slightly, but she reluctantly complied.

05:14Brother Han. The young man before her looked unfamiliar, but Han Lee noticed and smiled.

05:21I may have awakened, but I remember everything these past few years.

05:25I am still Brother Rock to you and that will never change.

05:28Tears filled her eyes as she threw herself into his arms.

05:32I know you have questions, but now is not the time.

05:34I'll explain everything later, Han Lee said, patting her head gently.

05:39Liu Leher nodded silently.

05:41Then her gaze shifted to Taoist Master White Stone, wary and alert.

05:46Don't worry, fellow Taoist White Stone is on our side now.

05:49He wouldn't dare harm you, Han Lee said with a smile as he rose.

05:53Glancing subtly at Taoist Master White Stone, the elderly priest shuddered, nodding hastily

05:59while cold sweat ran down his back.

06:02Liu Leher relaxed slightly at the sight.

06:04Let's get out of here.

06:05Han Lee took Liu Leher's hand and led her to the stone door of the secret chamber,

06:10pressing his palm against it.

06:12Just as he was about to push it open, he paused, brows furrowing slightly.

06:16Liu Leher noticed the subtle change in his demeanor and looked up at him curiously.

06:21Han Lee chuckled.

06:22What a coincidence!

06:24Then pushed the stone door open and stepped outside.

06:27The sky was dark, but the Yew Manor was ablaze, lit as bright as day.

06:33Sounds of battle rang from the front yard, mixed with booming explosions.

06:37Smoke rose like black demonic dragons into the night sky.

06:41Even from the island, the scent of blood was heavy.

06:44What's happening?

06:45Liu Leher asked, eyes wide as she surveyed the scene.

06:49Do you know?

06:50Han Lee asked Taoist Master White Stone.

06:53I'm afraid not, senior.

06:55Perhaps the Yew family is under attack.

06:57The elder replied hesitantly, then fell silent, awaiting instructions.

07:02Han Lee glanced at Liu Leher.

07:04She looked up at him, waiting.

07:06After a moment, he said, Yuki helped wake me from my prior state.

07:10I can't leave things like this.

07:12Let's take a look.

07:13The three of them left the Taoist temple and moved toward the front yard.

07:18The closer they got, the clearer the battle sounds became.

07:21Reaching the circular archway, they saw a hellish sight.

07:24The small courtyard beyond was littered with mangled bodies.

07:27Most wore the armor of the Prime Minister's guards, while only a few wore black assassin

07:33garments.

07:33Fires illuminated the area, and a white light barrier in one corner, held back around a

07:39dozen black-suited figures.

07:41A spiral of fire suddenly shot up from the attackers, rising dozens of feet before descending

07:47like a rapidly spinning dragon.

07:48The cone struck the light barrier with a resounding boom, shattering it instantly.

07:53Kill them!

07:54A deep voice bellowed, and the black-suited figures charged.

07:58Stop them!

07:59Han Lee ordered.

08:01Taoist Master White Stone stepped into the courtyard, releasing a burst of black light.

08:06The flying sword within it appeared above the attackers in an instant.

08:10Screeches rang out as dozens of black sword keys slashed downward.

08:14Flesh and bone were pierced with agonized screams.

08:18Every black-suited figure fell dead, except one with a short beard who rolled several dozen

08:23feet away.

08:23Who's there?

08:24He demanded.

08:26Taoist Master White Stone said nothing, sweeping his hand.

08:29The flying sword dove toward the man's chest.

08:32Panicked, the man raised a small blue shield, which expanded to block it and flamed the descending

08:38cone of fire.

08:39A massive explosion scattered flames everywhere, yet the flying sword pierced him through the

08:45shield as if it were paper.

08:47You're a core formation cultivator.

08:50The man gurgled, blood spilling from his mouth.

08:53White Stone retracted the sword, scoffing.

08:55To think a mere Foundation establishment cultivator would dare oppose me.

09:00He paused, shooting a fearful glance at Han Lee.

09:03Han Lee ignored this, walking toward a corner of the courtyard where two figures were huddled.

09:09One was a young man in a blood-stained azure robe, a weak Foundation establishment cultivator,

09:15nearly spent.

09:15The other was a young woman in servant clothing.

09:18Curled into a ball, her body trembling and bloodied.

09:22Liu Leher faltered, recognizing the young woman.

09:25Sister Xiaowu?

09:26The woman stiffened, then slowly peeked out.

09:29Seeing Liu Leher, tears immediately streamed down her face.

09:32Liu Leher rushed forward to help her up.

09:35The young man hesitated, then also stood.

09:37Daoist Master Whitestone, please save the young mistress.

09:41Hurry!

09:42Whitestone paused, glancing at Han Lee instead of responding.

09:45Where is the young mistress?

09:47Han Lee asked.

09:48The young man, confused, replied,

09:51When Xiaowu and I went to request reinforcements,

09:54the young mistress was with the other elders at the main estate.

09:57But with enemies this fierce, they may not hold out much longer.

10:01Stay and tend your wounds.

10:03Xiaowu, lead the way to the main estate.

10:04You know the layout best, Han Lee said calmly.

10:08Xiaowu, calmed by Liu Leher, looked at Han Lee in confusion, wondering why this man,

10:14recently incapacitated, was now giving orders.

10:17The young man was equally bewildered.

10:19It was clear Han Lee was in command, even over Daoist Master Whitestone.

10:24All right, come with me, Han Lee said.

10:27Xiaowu collected herself, then ran toward the front yard,

10:30followed by Han Lee, Liu Leher, and Whitestone.

10:34The front yard was a scene of carnage.

10:36Bodies of guards and servants were everywhere.

10:39The black-suited attackers clearly intended to slaughter all.

10:42Liu Leher recoiled, horrified.

10:44Despite knowing humanity's cruelty,

10:47these sights gave her a deeper, shocking understanding.

10:50Along the way, they encountered several groups of black-suited figures,

10:54all killed instantly by Whitestone.

10:57Occasionally, they met Foundation establishment cultivators,

11:00but even they were no match.

11:02Together, the four pressed through the corridors, racing toward the main estate.

11:06At the main estate of the Yu Manor,

11:09the courtyard that had once been lavish and immaculate now lay in ruin.

11:13Corpses and flowing blood littered the ground,

11:16and the stench of blood filled the air,

11:18strong enough to make one gag.

11:20Among the devastation, the few survivors of the Yu family had gathered,

11:25numbering only about two dozen.

11:27They ranged in age from the young to the old,

11:30and among them were Yu Qi and the second young master of the family.

11:34Horror was etched on every face,

11:36and a few of the women trembled uncontrollably,

11:39though Yu Qi and a handful of others managed to maintain a semblance of composure.

11:44Around thirty black-suited figures had surrounded the courtyard,

11:48splitting into small groups of three to five.

11:50Most wielded magic tools, and all were cultivators,

11:54forming a tight noose around the surviving family members.

11:57Finally, the other elders of the Yu family arrived to defend the remaining members.

12:02Being the family of the prosperous nation's prime minister,

12:05these cultivator elders were formidable.

12:07Among them stood a middle-aged man in a red robe.

12:10He was short and unremarkable in appearance.

12:13His face pockmarked, yet red lights surged around him,

12:16emanating the overwhelming spiritual pressure of a core formation cultivator.

12:21Hovering above his head was a crimson fire bead,

12:24around which several crimson balls of fire revolved.

12:28The other three elders consisted of two men and a woman.

12:31Though their cultivation base was lower than the red-robed man,

12:35they were still formidable.

12:37One was a black-robed young woman with elegant features marred by a facial scar,

12:41standing on one side of the red-robed man.

12:44On the other side was a thin, middle-aged man with deep-set eyes.

12:48Behind them stood a thin, elderly man with dark skin,

12:52resembling an old farmer, positioned slightly back from the trio.

12:56Even with a core formation cultivator among them,

13:00there were only four defenders,

13:02and their priority was the safety of the Yu family's survivors.

13:06The black-suited cultivators pressing in on them kept the group locked in an impasse.

13:10We can't keep going like this.

13:12Protect the young mistress and everyone else,

13:15and prepare to rush out as soon as the opportunity arises,

13:18the red-robed cultivator commanded.

13:20He formed a hand seal and released,

13:23a burst of red light from his mouth.

13:25Into the fire bead above his head,

13:27the bead immediately began to rotate faster,

13:30becoming a crimson blur.

13:31Around a dozen giant fireballs erupted from the bead,

13:35fusing together into a massive fiery dragon over one hundred feet long.

13:39Covered in clear-cut red scales,

13:42it let out a furious roar as it lunged into the black-suited figures ahead.

13:46The first group was caught off guard,

13:48two being incinerated on the spot,

13:50while the others were sent flying.

13:52The dragon swept its tail,

13:54releasing a wave of fire that forced the surrounding enemies to retreat.

13:58Moments later,

13:59the black-suited cultivators

14:01recovered and launched a barrage of attacks.

14:04Against the fiery dragon,

14:06its massive body swayed from side to side under the impact,

14:10the flames churning violently,

14:12yet none of the attacks managed a fatal blow.

14:14The dragon continued its assault,

14:16and within seconds,

14:18nearly half of the black-suited figures were dead or injured.

14:21Go!

14:22The red-robed cultivator shouted at his companions.

14:25But before they could advance,

14:27a burst of blurry black light shot forward,

14:30striking the dragon's lower abdomen like a bolt of black lightning.

14:33The light pierced deep into the dragon's body,

14:36revealing itself as a black arrow covered in runes.

14:40The runes unleashed an immense burst of black light,

14:43exploding into a giant dark-red mushroom cloud

14:46and shaking the ground violently.

14:48A massive hole tore through the dragon's lower abdomen,

14:51the flames around it flickering erratically.

14:53The red-robed cultivator and the other elders froze in shock.

14:57A black-suited figure had appeared at the entrance to the courtyard,

15:01wielding a large black bow.

15:03His aura marked him as a Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

15:07Behind him emerged four more black-suited figures,

15:10also Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivators,

15:13each armed with black bows.

15:15In perfect unison,

15:16they drew their bows and fired four ruined arrows like black shooting stars.

15:21The red-robed cultivator hastily used hand seals to maneuver the dragon to dodge,

15:26but its immense size made it a difficult target.

15:29Only one arrow was evaded.

15:31The other three struck true.

15:33The arrows exploded, blowing massive holes into the dragon's body,

15:37and it could no longer maintain its form,

15:39collapsing into a mass of crimson flames that fizzled out.

15:43A ghastly screech then pierced the air.

15:45A streak of white light shot through the darkness,

15:48moving several times faster than the ruined arrows,

15:52and raced toward the red-robed cultivator.

15:55Alarmed, he directed the crimson fire bead forward to intercept the incoming attack.

16:00At the same time, he retreated while releasing two streaks of light,

16:04one blue containing a small blue sword,

16:07and one crimson containing a flying trident.

16:09Both shot toward the white streak.

16:12The white light revealed itself as a bone blade around three feet long,

16:16gusts of yin wind swirling around it.

16:19Black threads appeared across the blade with a faint buzzing sound,

16:23wrapping tightly around the fire bead,

16:25the blue sword and the crimson trident.

16:27The treasure's spiritual light dimmed,

16:30slowing them mid-air as if about to fall.

16:32The bone blade then darted past the three treasures,

16:36suddenly appearing near the red-robed cultivator's head.

16:39Flashing like lightning, the cultivator's blood-curdling,

16:42cry was cut short as his head, was severed in an instant.

16:46Blood erupted in a gazer,

16:47and his headless body swayed before toppling to the ground.

16:51Taoist master red-robe!

16:52The Yu family survivors cried in unison.

16:55The other three elders recoiled, unsure how to respond.

16:58From the crowd, a young man with sinister features slowly stepped forward.

17:03He was the same man who had been spying on Yu Chi in Far Bright City,

17:07but now he was not accompanied by the gray-robed man.

17:11The black-suited figures around him immediately bowed respectfully.

17:15With a wave of his hand, the white bone blade returned,

17:19carrying the three treasures.

17:20He glanced at them disdainfully before stowing them,

17:24then turned coldly to the Yu family survivors.

17:26Kill them all!

17:28Don't let a single one live.

17:30Yes.

17:31The black-suited figures responded in unison,

17:34advancing to carry out the orders.

17:36The three remaining elders of the Yu family watched grimly,

17:39but did not intervene.

17:41Some women and children sobbed in despair.

17:43Others had collapsed, and a few had soiled themselves.

17:47Hold on!

17:48Yu Chi's voice rang out.

17:50Stepping forward in male attire,

17:51her features still retained a subtle allure.

17:54The young man's eyes immediately gleamed with lust

17:57as he leered over her body.

18:00Yu Chi's pale face betrayed her fear,

18:02but she managed to maintain composure.

18:04Pulling out a purple and golden badge,

18:07she displayed it prominently.

18:09The badge bore an exquisitely detailed flame design

18:12in purple and gold.

18:13How dare you slaughter the members of our Yu family?

18:16Do you have no regard for the cold flame sect?

18:19She demanded.

18:20The young man glanced at the purple and golden badge

18:23before turning his.

18:25Gaze back to Yu Chi.

18:26A faint smile playing on his lips.

18:29Ah, I see you carry an acceptance badge from the cold flame sect.

18:33I've heard you're the number one beauty of Farbright City.

18:37And it seems those rumors aren't exaggerated.

18:40Yu Chi felt a spark of confidence at his recognition of the badge

18:43and declared,

18:44I don't care who you are.

18:46Leave the Yu manor immediately.

18:47Otherwise, you'll make an enemy out of the cold flame sect.

18:51The three elders of the Yu family,

18:53who had planned to remain uninvolved,

18:55were visibly encouraged by this turn of events.

18:58Even the surviving family members felt a flicker of hope.

19:01The young man suddenly burst into laughter.

19:04Am I supposed to fear the cold flame sect?

19:06How dare you look down on the cold flame sect?

19:10Yu Chi accused, her expression filled with fury.

19:13All you have is an acceptance badge,

19:15so you're not even an official disciple.

19:16Even if you were, do you really think it would faze me?

19:20He said, producing a black badge of similar size from his hand.

19:24Silver skull emblazoned across its surface.

19:26Yu Chi's eyes widened.

19:28That's a heavenly ghost sect inner court disciple badge.

19:31You're from the heavenly ghost sect!

19:33The heavenly ghost sect was a rival of the cold flame sect.

19:36The three elders of the Yu family exchanged a sharp,

19:40silent glance while Yu Chi's mind raced.

19:43Even so, the cold flame sect belongs to the prosperous nation.

19:47Are you trying to provoke a war between the two sects?

19:49She asked.

19:51The young man sneered.

19:52Normally that would be correct, but you are sorely mistaken.

19:56Yu Chi faltered.

19:57What do you mean?

19:58The cold flame sect has already been defeated by our sect.

20:02They've handed over jurisdiction of the prosperous nation,

20:05and now the entire nation is under the heavenly ghost sect.

20:09He revealed, his smile cruel.

20:12Yu Chi froze, struck as if by lightning.

20:14The three elders instinctively stepped,

20:16back to keep distance from the surviving family members.

20:19Despair weighed heavily on the Yu family.

20:22Their once respected status now felt meaningless.

20:25The young man's grin widened further.

20:27There's more.

20:28Some officials in the prosperous nation dared.

20:31Oppose our orders and were charged with treason.

20:33Yesterday, all were beheaded in the capital, including Prime Minister Yu and his two sons.

20:40Yu Chi's vision darkened and she collapsed, dropping the badge.

20:44The remaining Yu family members sank deeper into despair.

20:47Some women wept uncontrollably, in a single moment.

20:51They went from esteemed families to facing the prospect of annihilation.

20:55The young man's eyes gleamed with sadistic pleasure at their helplessness.

20:59When his laughter subsided, he ordered coldly,

21:03Kill everyone, but leave the young mistress alive.

21:06The black-suited figures responded immediately, grinning cruelly as they advanced.

21:11The three elders stepped aside with bowed heads,

21:14seemingly waiting for a chance to escape.

21:17And the young man made no move to stop them.

21:19One black-suited figure approached, fawning.

21:22Young Master Chi, this woman has no cultivation base,

21:25but carries a cold flame sect acceptance badge.

21:28Her potential is remarkable.

21:30She would make a perfect duel, cultivation partner for you.

21:34The young man laughed again.

21:36Yu Chi shuddered, her eyes resolute.

21:38In one swift motion, she drew a dagger and thrust it toward her heart.

21:43The young man's smile froze, caught off guard.

21:46Before the dagger could pierce her, a sharp gust of wind shot through the air,

21:51striking the weapon and sending it clattering to the ground.

21:54Several more gusts hit the advancing black-suited figures,

21:57hurling them backward with blood gushing from their mouths.

22:00Alarmed, all their companions froze.

22:03Who's there?

22:04The young man demanded, turning toward a nearby opening.

22:07From it several figures emerged, Han Li and his group.

22:11The young man's gaze lingered briefly on Han.

22:14Li before shifting to Taoist Master Whitestone.

22:17Taoist Master Whitestone!

22:19Taoist Master Whitestone, save us!

22:21The Yu family survivors cried.

22:24Shao Wu ignored the enemies, rushing to help Yu Qi to her feet.

22:27Yu Qi's eyes darted to Taoist.

22:30Master Whitestone.

22:31Although he was a core formation cultivator,

22:34the young man had easily slain Taoist Master Red Robe.

22:37So Whitestone was likely no match.

22:39Her gaze fell on Han Li.

22:41His appearance was unchanged, but his vacant expression was gone.

22:46Calm radiated from him, even amid the chaos.

22:48So, you're Taoist Master Whitestone?

22:51I suggest you stay out of this if you value your life, the young man said.

22:55Black light surging from his body with immense spiritual pressure.

23:00The gusts of wind had been powerful but formless, as if born from nowhere.

23:05The young man, unaware of the source, released more spiritual pressure to intimidate.

23:10Whitestone shuddered, fear flashing in his eyes.

23:14The young man's mid-core.

23:15Formation power far exceeded Whitestone's early core formation level, leaving him no chance.

23:22Whitestone's gaze involuntarily flicked to Han Li, remembering the wind gust's earlier effect.

23:28A hint of a smile appeared on Han Li, but he said nothing.

23:32Whitestone's heart sank, and he made his decision.

23:35Stepping forward, he cried,

23:37I am an elder of the Yew Manor.

23:39I cannot watch as you commit such atrocities.

23:41You brazen bastards must be punished.

23:43The young man's face darkened.

23:46Fine.

23:46If you have a death wish, I'll kill you along with everyone else.

23:50He raised a hand, sending his white bone blade hurtling toward Whitestone.

23:56Simultaneously, he made hand seals, and a vast white light erupted from the blade.

24:01Within the radiance, white skull projections appeared, accompanied by a chorus of ghostly

24:06howls that rang endlessly.

24:08Look out, Taoist Master Whitestone!

24:11Taoist Master Red Robe perished to this very same weapon!

24:14Yuki shouted loudly.

24:15Taoist Master White!

24:17Stone was already alarmed by the immense power contained within the bone blade,

24:21and his expression changed drastically upon hearing that even

24:25Taoist Master Red Robe had died to it.

24:27His first thought was to flee, but with Han Lee present, he could only grit his teeth

24:33and open his mouth to release.

24:35His serpentine flying sword.

24:37He quickly formed a hand seal, and the flying sword glowed with black light,

24:42coiling around the bone blade like a black python trying to bind it.

24:46The young man revealed a cold smile.

24:48He formed a string of hand seals and pointed forward,

24:51and the light from the bone blade intensified as it tore through the air with terrifying force.

24:57The serpentine flying sword was struck and instantly snapped into several pieces,

25:02falling from the sky.

25:04Taoist Master Whitestone hurriedly raised his hand and released a round azure shield to replace the

25:10destroyed flying sword.

25:12Although the bone blade's light had dimmed slightly, its power remained undiminished.

25:17It crashed heavily into the azure shield.

25:19The shield managed to resist briefly, but in the end, it too was split in half.

25:23The bone blade paused only for a moment before glowing brightly again and continuing

25:28toward Taoist Master Whitestone.

25:31Seeing this, Taoist Master Whitestone was greatly alarmed and took advantage of that brief delay

25:37to duck behind Han Lee.

25:38If this had happened in the past, even if he was no match for the young man,

25:43he could have fought for some time.

25:45However, during his earlier clash with Han Lee, his most powerful treasures had already been destroyed,

25:50leaving him completely unable to resist the bone blade now.

25:54In the blink of an eye, the bone blade reached Han Lee and continued forward,

25:59intending to slice both him and Taoist Master Whitestone in half at the waist.

26:04Senior Han!

26:05Taoist Master Whitestone cried out in panic.

26:08Han Lai remained calm.

26:09He raised a hand.

26:11Golden light flashing from his palm as golden scales surfaced over his skin,

26:16and he reached forward with lightning speed.

26:18The glow from the bone blade vanished instantly, along with the ghostly howls surrounding it.

26:23The blade itself had been caught firmly in Han Lee's grasp.

26:27It struggled violently like a small fish, but it could not break free.

26:31Impossible!

26:32The young man's eyes widened in disbelief.

26:35Though the bone blade looked ordinary, it was actually a replica of the heavenly ghost blade,

26:41the most powerful treasure of the heavenly ghost sect.

26:45It had been carefully crafted for him, with numerous precious materials by the elders of his family.

26:51Even late core formation cultivators would have difficulty withstanding its might.

26:56Yet Han Lee had caught it barehanded.

26:58True strength renders even formidable treasures meaningless.

27:01Everyone present stared in shock.

27:03Yuqi was equally stunned, gazing at Han Lee with bewilderment and faint admiration.

27:08Taoist Master Whitestone also looked at Han Lee in astonishment.

27:12He had believed Han Lee might block the attack, but he never imagined he would seize it so effortlessly.

27:18He could not help but wonder how powerful Han Lee truly was.

27:22And at the same time, he felt fortunate.

27:24If Han Lee had not shown restraint in their earlier battle, he would already be dead.

27:29Unlike the others, Liu Leer's eyes were filled with excitement.

27:33In her mind, her brother Rock was invincible, so this outcome was only natural.

27:38It's been a very long time since I've dealt with such a low-grade treasure,

27:42Han Lee said indifferently as he looked at the bone blade in his hand and suddenly closed his fingers.

27:49The bone blade was crushed instantly, scattering as specks of gray light onto the ground.

27:54No!

27:55The young man's face turned deathly pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

28:00The blade was his bonded treasure.

28:02Its destruction was like losing an arm.

28:04I'll make you pay with your life for destroying my treasure!

28:08Vicious resentment filled his eyes as he formed a hand seal and roared.

28:12Black cheese surged from his body, forming an inky cloud filled with countless ghostly shadows.

28:18He then struck his own chest three times in rapid succession, expelling three mouthfuls of blood

28:24essence. With each mouthful, his face grew paler, and after the third, he looked as white as paper.

28:30The blood essence expanded into dense mist and merged into the black cloud.

28:34The cloud immediately turned blood red and churned violently, expanding severalfold.

28:40The ghostly shadows inside became much clearer and let out chilling howls.

28:45The young man stepped forward and vanished into the blood cloud.

28:49Everything had happened extremely quickly.

28:51As soon as the blood cloud appeared, the temperature in the courtyard plummeted sharply,

28:56as if the area had been cast into an icy abyss.

28:59Even Taoist Master Whitestone could not resist shivering.

29:03He quickly summoned a jade pendant that formed a white light, barrier around himself and Liu,

29:09lair before retreating into the distance.

29:11The black-suited figures, along with the three elders and remaining members of the Yu family,

29:17shivered uncontrollably in the freezing cold.

29:20Liu lair only felt the cold briefly before the white barrier shielded her.

29:24She turned and saw Taoist Master Whitestone beside her, the barrier coming from his jade pendant.

29:30Seeing her surprised look, he gave a fawning smile and retreated more than a hundred feet away with her.

29:36Hanley looked at the blood cloud and suddenly threw a punch toward a certain spot.

29:40A faint, ghostly shadow was blasted out of thin air and exploded into gray mist.

29:45At that moment, several black chains shot up from beneath Han Lee, binding him tightly.

29:51Immediately afterward, a gray-robed man appeared nearby with his hands forming a seal.

29:57He was the same gray-robed man who had accompanied the young man in Farbright City.

30:03His aura was even stronger than the young man's.

30:06His body was enveloped in a black, ghostly shadow, as if they had fused together, and he appeared semi-transparent.

30:13You came just in time, Senior Marshal Brother fan.

30:16Let's kill this man together!

30:18The young man's voice rang from within the blood cloud, followed by chanting.

30:22Fierce winds rose, and the blood cloud surged toward Han Lee like a massive wave, instantly engulfing him.

30:29Inside the cloud, the blood souls howled with bared fangs, eager to tear him apart.

30:35The young man was overjoyed.

30:37These blood souls were refined through a secret technique, making them extremely difficult to destroy,

30:43and anyone trapped among them would be worn down until death.

30:47The gray-robed man, though surprised that his concealed ghostly entity had been detected,

30:53sneered, and said,

30:54No matter who you are, you'll pay with your life for opposing our heavenly ghost sect.

30:59He appeared above Han Lee and thrust his palms downward.

31:02Two massive black, ghostly claws formed,

31:05green lights swirling around their tips, carrying lethal poison.

31:09The claws descended viciously.

31:11Liu Leia immediately tried to rush forward, disregarding her own safety.

31:15Taoist Master Whitestone quickly pulled her back.

31:18Stop!

31:19With Senior Han's powers, he'll surely break free.

31:21Despite his words, he felt uneasy.

31:24Another powerful enemy had appeared, seemingly stronger than the first.

31:28The three elders and surviving Yu family members watched nervously from afar.

31:34Han Lee remained unfazed.

31:36Cracking sounds echoed from his body as he expanded in size, golden scales covering him.

31:42With a casual shrug, the black chain shattered.

31:44He then unleashed a storm of golden fist projections in all directions.

31:49The ghostly claws disintegrated upon contact.

31:52The gray-robed man was struck repeatedly.

31:55His protective shadow was destroyed and he was hurled to the ground.

31:59By the time he landed, his body had become a mangled mass.

32:02His body and soul completely annihilated.

32:05At the same time, the blood cloud and all the ghostly shadows were erased by the golden fists,

32:12revealing the young man.

32:13He stood frozen, but the moment he met Han Lee's cold gaze, he trembled and immediately formed a hand seal.

32:20A black cloud burst from his body as he fled at full speed.

32:24When fear overcomes reason, even a cultivator's resolve collapses instantly.

32:28Han Lee narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath and exhaled sharply.

32:32A streak of white light shot from his mouth, piercing into the fleeing black cloud.

32:37A scream rang out as the cloud disintegrated, and the young man fell from the sky with a hole through

32:42his head.

32:43Silence filled the courtyard.

32:45He's a sword cultivator, someone said weakly.

32:49No more than three seconds had passed from the moment.

32:52The gray-robed man appeared to the instant.

32:55Han Lee killed both of his opponents.

32:57Two core formation cultivators who had seemed invincible fell in the blink of an eye.

33:01Leaving everyone in the courtyard, both the black-suited figures and the yew, family members, completely stunned.

33:09What shocked them the most was the burst of white light that Han Lee had expelled from his mouth.

33:14It was so fast that it could not be tracked with the naked eye, and even though the young man

33:19had already fled far away, he was still killed instantly.

33:22The claim that Han Lee was a sword cultivator petrified the black-suited figures.

33:28They did not dare to remain any longer, and immediately summoned their magic tools to flee.

33:34In the spirit domain realm, sword cultivators could easily crush others of the same cultivation level, and their flying swords

33:41were incomparably fast, capable of killing in an instant.

33:45If they delayed even slightly, escape would become impossible.

33:48Spiritual lights of various colors flashed, one after another as around a dozen flying treasures rose into the air, and

33:56scattered in different directions.

33:58Han Lee did not even glance at them.

34:00Instead, he looked toward the young man's corpse and raised an eyebrow, a contemplative expression appearing on his face.

34:07When strength reaches a certain level, lesser enemies are no longer worth pursuing.

34:12The surviving members of the yew family exchanged bewildered glances, not daring to speak.

34:18The three elders did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid of drawing Han Lee's attention.

34:24Taoist master Whitestone stole a look at Han Lee.

34:28After a brief hesitation, he suddenly swept his right sleeve toward one of the fleeing, black-suited cultivators.

34:35His sleeve bulged slightly, and a long golden rope shot out like a viper, ensnaring something in midair before retracting

34:42rapidly.

34:43A thin, black-suited cultivator was dragged back, bound tightly by the golden rope, and slammed onto the ground in

34:50front of Han Lee.

34:52Ignoring the pain from the fall, the cultivator immediately pleaded,

34:56Spare me!

34:57Han Lee ignored him and instead turned to Taoist master Whitestone.

35:01Do you know of this heavenly ghost sect?

35:04Taoist master Whitestone glanced at Yu Chi before answering carefully.

35:09The heavenly ghost sect and the cold flame sect are both among the most powerful sects in the spirit domain

35:16realm.

35:17Han Lee nodded and looked down at the captive.

35:20How many people did the heavenly ghost sect send to Farbright City?

35:23The black-suited cultivator struggled into a seated position and hurriedly replied,

35:28To my knowledge, only those who came to the Yu Manor today.

35:32As soon as he finished speaking, a bone-chilling sensation spread through his body, as if he had been thrown

35:38into an icy abyss.

35:40Han Lee was staring at him with an extremely cold gaze.

35:43His black pupils seemed to expand into bottomless vortexes, as though a single lie would cause him to be swallowed

35:50whole.

35:51The sensation lasted only an instant but left the cultivator drenched in cold sweat.

35:55Bound by the golden rope, he could not kneel, so he lowered his head deeply.

36:00You must believe me, senior.

36:01I'm telling the truth.

36:03We're only outer court.

36:04Disciples sent on this mission to the prime.

36:07Minister's Manor.

36:08As for whether there are other disciples in the city, I truly do not know.

36:11Whose orders were you following?

36:13His?

36:14Han Lee asked, pointing at the young man's corpse.

36:17Yes.

36:18His name was Qiming Hao.

36:19He was an inner court disciple with exceptional talent, and was highly valued in the sect.

36:24One of his grand-uncles is an elder which strengthened his position.

36:28We didn't dare to refuse his orders.

36:30If we had known the Yu Manor was under your protection, we would never have come.

36:34At that moment, Yu Qi approached, tears in her eyes.

36:38Was Yu Ming Hao telling the truth?

36:40Are my father and brothers?

36:41Outer court disciples like me had no right to participate in what happened in the capital.

36:46But from what I heard, the situation is as he described, the cultivator replied fearfully.

36:53Yu Qi closed her eyes as tears streamed down her cheeks.

36:56Sobbing soon echoed from the women and children among the survivors.

37:00After a moment, Yu Qi opened her eyes again and asked painfully,

37:03If your heavenly ghost sect has already taken over the prosperous nation, why not simply control the imperial family?

37:10Why must you wipe out our Yu family?

37:12This is our sect's established practice.

37:14To secure complete control, the imperial family tied to the cold flame sect,

37:19and the families of officials who served them must be eradicated.

37:23The Yu family falls into that category.

37:26Suddenly recalling something, his voice trembled.

37:28Elder Qi is extremely protective of his juniors.

37:31He will definitely come for those involved in his grandnephew's death.

37:35Even outer court disciples like me who accompanied him will likely be killed.

37:40The Yu family survivors were horrified, and the three elders' expressions turned grim.

37:46The second young master, his face smeared with tears, dirt and blood, sobbed,

37:51We can't stay here!

37:52Sister, let's leave immediately!

37:54You have a master at the cold flame sect.

37:56She'll take us in!

37:57Yu Qi ignored him.

37:59She wiped away her tears and walked to Han Li.

38:02Liu Le'er and Taoist Master Whitestone, offering a respectful bow.

38:07Thank you for saving our lives.

38:09Han Li accepted the gesture silently.

38:12Taoist Master Whitestone merely nodded.

38:14Sister Qi!

38:15Liu Le'er, whose own family had suffered tragedy, wanted to comfort her but could not find the words.

38:21Yu Qi nodded faintly.

38:23The grief in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by resilience.

38:27Though still in female attire, her bearing shifted, as if she had become the young master she sometimes pretended to

38:33be.

38:34She picked up the dagger that Han Li had knocked from her hand earlier and,

38:38in one swift motion, plunged it into the black-suited cultivator's chest.

38:42No!

38:43Spare me!

38:44His scream was cut short as the dagger sank to its hilt.

38:47He collapsed into his own blood and soon lay still.

38:50The Yu family survivors exchanged uneasy glances.

38:54Only about a dozen members remained.

38:57Yu Qi turned to them firmly.

38:59The Yu Manor has fallen.

39:00Even with the Cold Flame Sect as our backer, we cannot recover quickly.

39:05All members of the Yu family will follow me to the Cold Flame Sect.

39:09Anyone who no longer wishes to follow may take money from the storeroom and leave.

39:14Though terrified and lost, the survivors gradually calmed as Yu Qi took control, and the sobbing slowly subsided.

39:22Han Li observed her with faint approval.

39:24Leadership reveals itself most clearly in times of collapse.

39:28Yu Qi then looked at the three elders.

39:30Elders, you risked your lives for us, and I cannot repay you with words alone.

39:34If you wish to leave, you may each choose several treasures from our manor.

39:38If you are willing to continue protecting us on our journey to the Cold Flame Sect, I will compensate you

39:44further in the future.

39:45The three elders exchanged hesitant glances, clearly waiting for Han Li and Taoist Master Whitestone to decide first.

39:53Understanding this, Yu Qi walked to Han Li and gave a curtsy.

39:57Brother Liu, I know almost nothing about you, but your powers are beyond my comprehension.

40:02Ordinary treasures would not interest you.

40:05The only thing I can offer is a worm essence bead, passed down in our family for generations.

40:10I am willing to offer it to you if you escort us to the Cold Flame Sect.

40:14At the mention of the worm essence bead, a hint of greed flashed in Taoist Master Whitestone's eyes, but it

40:21vanished as soon as he glanced at Han Li.

40:23Have you gone mad, sister?

40:25How can you offer him our worm essence bead?

40:28The second young master exclaimed.

40:30Yu Qi did not even look at him.

40:32The Yu Manor is already gone.

40:34What is a mere worm essence bead in comparison?

40:37If you accept, I will retrieve it from our secret vault immediately.

40:41What do you say, Brother Liu?

40:42In this video, we learn, power and reputation matter in cultivation worlds.

40:47The moment Han Li was identified as a sword cultivator, everyone panicked, showing how knowledge and reputation can be as

40:55powerful as strength itself.

40:56Speed and decisiveness can determine survival.

40:59In less than three seconds, Han Li eliminated two core formation cultivators.

41:04Teaching that hesitation in critical moments can cost lives.

41:08Leadership is revealed during crisis.

41:10After losing her family and home, Yu Qi quickly controlled her emotions and took responsibility for the survivors.

41:17True leaders rise when everything collapses.

41:20Political power often comes with ruthless strategy.

41:23The heavenly ghost sect wiping out entire families shows how, in power struggles, eliminating roots of opposition is seen as

41:30a method of securing control.

41:32Emotional strength is different from physical strength.

41:35Yu Qi's decision to personally kill the enemy reflects how trauma can harden a person and force rapid emotional growth.

41:43Negotiation and value exchange are part of survival.

41:46Offering the worm essence bead proves that in desperate times, even treasured heirlooms become bargaining tools for protection.

41:54Fear can be more powerful than torture.

41:56Han Li didn't threaten loudly, his cold gaze alone forced honesty, showing psychological dominance.

42:03And that concludes today's chapter explanation of A Record of Immortals' Journey to Immortality.

42:09Immortal Realm.

42:10Every step Han Li takes reminds us that success is built on preparation, discipline, and calm decision-making under pressure.

42:18Cultivation in this world mirrors real life, growth takes time, and survival requires wisdom.
