FunTranscript
00:00Welcome back to Novel Studio. Today, we're explaining a record of a mortal's journey to immortality.
00:06Immortal Realm. This story teaches patience, strategy, and the power of careful decisions.
00:12Let's see what lessons today's chapter reveals.
00:14Hanley calmly smashed a massive crater, roughly an acre in size, into the secluded cave abode he had selected.
00:22Without the slightest strain, he then lowered the uprooted plot of spirit farmland into the crater,
00:28perfectly embedding it into the ground as though it had always belonged there.
00:33Seeing this, Luo Jun burst into loud laughter.
00:35Your strength has far exceeded my expectations, fellow Taoist Han. I am truly humbled.
00:41Hanley gave a faint smile.
00:43You're too kind.
00:44Fellow Taoist Luo, since you've finished examining my abilities, shouldn't we move on to official matters?
00:51Luo Jun looked slightly embarrassed and cleared his throat.
00:54I had no such intentions. There isn't much to discuss.
00:57As a guest elder of our sect, you are not required to take on duties.
01:02Each year, the sect will provide you with 50,000 spirit, stones, and several pills to assist your cultivation.
01:09However, this year's pill allocation period has already passed, so you'll have to wait until next year for those.
01:15Here is your identity badge.
01:17It contains a map of the sect and information about all the peaks.
01:20And here are 80,000 spirit stones for this year.
01:24The additional 30,000 is a welcoming gift from Peak Master Nangong.
01:28As he spoke, Luo Jun took out a shimmering golden badge and an azure storage bag and handed them to
01:35Han Lee.
01:36Gu Yunye watched silently, her expression complex.
01:39These Dai Yu were normally reserved for deity transformation elders, but after witnessing Han Lee's overwhelming power, no one could
01:48question whether he deserved it.
01:50Thank you, Elder Luo, Han Lee said, accepting the items.
01:53By the way, are sharp watch pills distributed yearly by the sect, or are there other ways to obtain them?
02:00They are occasionally allocated, Luo Jun replied.
02:03They're effective for healing injuries, but they don't help much with cultivation advancement.
02:09Some disciples trade them in the sect's internal market, but they're usually bought very quickly.
02:14In that case, I'll try my luck in the market, Han Lee said thoughtfully.
02:19After a bit more small talk, Luo Jun left with Gu Yunye and Yu Menghan.
02:23Once they departed, Han Lee activated all the restrictions within the cave abode to secure it.
02:29He showed Liu Leia around, arranged a bedroom for her, and then left again.
02:34About fifteen minutes later, he arrived at a valley several kilometers away from Cloudrise Peak.
02:40At the entrance stood a white stone plaque engraved with the words,
02:45Trade Valley in large red characters.
02:47Beneath it stretched a wide stone street leading deeper inside.
02:51This was the internal market Luo Jun had mentioned.
02:54Even before entering, Han Lee could hear the noisy bustle of trade.
02:58He paused briefly at the entrance, then stepped in.
03:02The streets sloped upward along the natural terrain.
03:05Shops were built according to the shape of the valley, and flags of various kinds hung outside them.
03:11It looked no different from a mortal marketplace.
03:14It was just past noon, and cultivators moved in and out of shops constantly,
03:19making the place lively and crowded.
03:21Han Lee entered a pill shop at random.
03:23Soon after, he walked out expressionless.
03:26He visited five or six large pill shops in succession, but didn't find a single, sharp watch pill.
03:33In one shop, he was told that they had received one two months ago, but it had been traded away
03:38the same day.
03:39After nearly half a day of searching through almost the entire market, he still found nothing.
03:44When he stepped out of yet another shop, he did not continue further into the valley.
03:50Instead, he walked calmly toward a more secluded corner.
03:53Suddenly, he turned around sharply and fixed a cold gaze at a nearby tree.
03:57You've been following me almost the entire time I've been here.
04:00Do you have business with me?
04:02Please forgive me, fellow Taoist.
04:04It's just a misunderstanding.
04:05A gray-robed elderly man stepped out from behind the tree.
04:09His hair and beard were completely white.
04:12Yet his face looked youthful and childlike, creating a strange contrast.
04:17Han Lee could sense that he was a deity transformation cultivator.
04:21A misunderstanding?
04:22I am Gao Bulan, an elder of Sunset Peak.
04:26I happened to overhear that you were searching for a sharp watch pill, so I followed you briefly.
04:32Sunset Peak specializes in pill refinement, correct?
04:35Do you have one?
04:37Han Lee asked.
04:38Gao Bulan smiled.
04:40I do indeed have a sharp watch pill, and I intend to trade it.
04:44But first, I need to know if you have something I want.
04:47What are you looking for?
04:49Han Lee asked directly.
04:50There's no rush.
04:51I don't even know your name yet.
04:53I am Han Lee, guest elder of Cloudrise Peak.
04:56Now, can we return to the matter at hand?
04:58A guest elder of Cloudrise Peak?
05:01No wonder I cannot discern your cultivation base, Gao Bulan said.
05:05I'm looking for glacial yin water, blue crystal sand, heavenly river starstone, or a landling
05:11flower or ink fragrance herb over three thousand years old.
05:14If you have any one of them, the sharp watch pill is yours.
05:17Han Lee replied calmly.
05:19Every one of those items is extremely rare.
05:21If I possessed any of them, I would demand far more than a single sharp watch pill.
05:26Gao Bulan's expression stiffened slightly.
05:29You should make a more realistic request.
05:31Otherwise, I can purchase the pill with spirit stones.
05:34Han Lee continued.
05:35Although he hadn't found a pill yet, Han Lee had sold various materials and pills earlier,
05:41earning a good amount of spirit stones.
05:43Combined with the eighty thousand spirit stones from Luo Jun, he had a substantial sum available,
05:49excluding his top-grade spirit stones.
05:51After hesitating briefly, Gao Bulan said,
05:54Very well.
05:55I'll trade it for spirit stones.
05:57Two top-grade spirit stones.
05:59That's excessive, Han Lee replied, his brows slightly furrowing.
06:03Even at the highest price in this market, it shouldn't exceed six hundred thousand spirit stones.
06:08You're referring to internal market prices.
06:11Outside the sect, it would fetch far more.
06:14Gao Bulan responded calmly.
06:16Han Lee thought for a moment.
06:18I don't have the items you listed, but I do have other rare materials.
06:22Are you interested?
06:23If they're common treasures, there's no need to show them.
06:26Spirit stones would be simpler.
06:28I have an Azure Underworld Crystal, a myriad yin spirit-trapping array scroll, and a yin soul zoysha.
06:36These were items taken from Lu Ya's storage bag.
06:39Valuable, though not particularly useful to Han Lee.
06:43Gao Bulan hesitated.
06:44After thinking carefully, he said,
06:46I could use a yin soul zoysha, but it must be at least one thousand years old.
06:51Add three hundred thousand spirit stones, and the sharp watch pill is yours.
06:55Upon hearing this, Han Lee immediately turned to leave without the slightest hesitation.
07:01Fellow Taoist Han, please wait.
07:03Gao Bulan's calm demeanor collapsed instantly.
07:06Han Lee stopped but did not walk back.
07:08He simply turned to look at him.
07:11Gao Bulan hurried over and said with a forced smile,
07:13There's no need to be so hasty.
07:15The price is negotiable.
07:17May I see the yin soul zoysha first?
07:19Without speaking further, Han Lee took out a wooden box about half a foot long and opened the lid slightly.
07:26Gao Bulan extended his spiritual sense to inspect its contents.
07:29A trace of surprise flashed across Gao Bulan's face, then quickly disappeared.
07:35You're a lucky man.
07:36Fellow Taoist Han, this yin soul zoysha is at least twenty-three hundred.
07:41No, closer to twenty-four hundred years old.
07:44It's more than enough to exchange for a sharp watch pill.
07:47Han Lee's expression didn't change at all.
07:49His voice was calm and implacable.
07:51I want two sharp watch pills for this yin soul zoysha.
07:54A wry smile appeared on Gao Bulan's face.
07:57But I only have one of these pills, fellow Taoist Han.
08:01Han Lee looked at him steadily.
08:03Perhaps I would believe you if you were an elder from another sect.
08:07But as an elder of Sunset Peak, you cannot expect me to believe you can't offer at least two sharp
08:12watch pills.
08:13If that's too much, I can wait.
08:15I'm sure I'll eventually find another seller.
08:18His tone was unhurried, as if time meant nothing to him.
08:21Gao Bulan's brows furrowed.
08:23This time he was genuinely hesitating.
08:25After a long moment of internal struggle, he finally sighed.
08:29Deal.
08:30He handed over a white jade box.
08:32Han Lee accepted it and immediately examined its contents with his spiritual scents.
08:37A faint smile appeared on his face.
08:39Inside were two sharp watch pills, both of high quality.
08:43From the medicinal scent lingering around Gao Bulan's body, Han Lee could clearly tell that he was truly a pill
08:49refinement master.
08:50To ordinary cultivators, a spirit medicine over two thousand years, old was a priceless treasure.
08:56But to Han Lee, such an herb was not particularly rare.
09:00Compared to that yin soul zoysia, these two sharp watch pills were far more useful for his current situation.
09:06Meanwhile, Gao Bulan brought the wooden box containing the yin soul, zoysia under his nose and took a deep breath.
09:13A satisfied expression spread across his face before he carefully stored it away.
09:18Before leaving, he invited Han Lee to visit Sunset Peak in the future, then quickly departed, clearly pleased with the
09:25transaction.
09:26After the trade, Han Lee didn't leave Trade Valley immediately.
09:30Instead, he continued walking through the market, using most of his remaining spirit stones to purchase high-grade pills, comparable
09:38to the sharp watch pill.
09:40Only after finishing his preparations did he return to Cloudrise Peak.
09:45When Han Lee entered his cave abode, he saw Liu Laer sitting alone in the hall.
09:49She was resting her chin on her hand, staring blankly into the distance.
09:54What are you thinking about, Laer?
09:56Han Lee asked as he sat down in front of her.
09:59She suddenly noticed him and exclaimed happily,
10:02Brother Rock!
10:04Why are you daydreaming here alone?
10:06He asked with a gentle smile.
10:09Liu Laer's expression turned serious.
10:11Ever since I met you, my life feels like a dream.
10:14Han Lee paused, then smiled faintly.
10:16If this is a dream, I hope I never wake up.
10:19Besides Mama and Dada, you treat me better than anyone else.
10:23I want to stay by your side forever.
10:26Brother Rock, she said softly, her eyes filling with tears.
10:30Han Lee hesitated briefly.
10:32Then he raised his hand, joined his index and middle fingers together, and gently pressed them against her glabella.
10:39Liu Laer was startled but did not move away.
10:41Close your eyes, Han Lee said softly.
10:44She obeyed without hesitation.
10:46Han Lee closed his own eyes and began chanting an incantation.
10:50Fifteen minutes later, he opened his eyes.
10:52Liu Laer's face had turned slightly pale, and sweat beaded faintly on her forehead.
10:57You can open your eyes now, Han Lee said.
11:00She slowly opened them, looking puzzled.
11:03I just implanted a cultivation art into your mind.
11:06It's called Illusory Spirit Cicada Transformation.
11:09I obtained this high-grade demonic cultivation art years ago.
11:13It's perfectly suited for a demonic fox like you.
11:16Liu Laer closed her eyes again to sense the technique, now engraved in her consciousness, still looking confused.
11:22I will protect you, Han Lee said seriously.
11:25But if I'm not by your side one day, you must be able to protect yourself.
11:30At the very least, you must stay safe until I return.
11:33After thinking for a moment, Liu Laer nodded firmly.
11:36I'll work hard on it, Han Lee nodded in satisfaction.
11:40Elsewhere, inside a conference hall on Cloudrise Peak, Luo Jun stood respectfully before a scholarly, middle-aged man seated at
11:48the main position.
11:50Peakmaster Nangong.
11:51As expected, Han Lee is a high-grade body cultivator.
11:54I've arranged his residence, and no other peaks are aware of his arrival.
11:58As for Marshal Nis Gu, I've rewarded her as instructed and warned her, not to reveal that Han Lee slew
12:05a deity, transformation elder of the heavenly ghost sect.
12:08Peakmaster Nangong nodded.
12:10A nascent soul cultivator killing a deity, transformation cultivator.
12:15His body must be extraordinarily powerful.
12:18He will be very useful to our peak in the future.
12:21Make sure to accommodate his needs as much as possible.
12:23Yes, Luo Jun replied before taking his leave.
12:27After he departed, Peakmaster Nangong remained seated silently for a moment, eyes closed in thought before rising and heading toward
12:36the back of the hall.
12:37Han Lee, unaware of this discussion, was seated cross-legged inside a secret chamber of his cave abode.
12:43Around a dozen jade vials and boxes were arranged neatly before him.
12:47He picked up a small red vial, poured out a crimson pill, and swallowed it after brief inspection.
12:54A rich medicinal aroma filled the air.
12:56He closed his eyes to examine his internal condition.
13:00Moments later, he reopened them, brows tightly furrowed.
13:03The pill was comparable to the Sharpwatch pill, yet it had no effect on him.
13:07He showed no surprise.
13:09He tried a second pill.
13:11It melted instantly in his stomach, but again, no magic power was generated.
13:15One by one, he tested nearly all the pills.
13:18None worked.
13:19Soon, only a purple jade box and an azure porcelain vial remained.
13:24Frustration flickered across his face.
13:26It was proving far more difficult than expected to find pills effective for his cultivation.
13:32Still, he reminded himself that he was now part of a major sect within the resource-rich.
13:38Spirit domain realm.
13:39Progress would come with persistence.
13:41He opened the purple jade box and swallowed a gray pill.
13:45This time, a faint trace of joy appeared on his face.
13:49Wisps of magic power emerged and circulated.
13:51Through his meridians, before entering his dantean, slightly increasing his reserves.
13:57Though far weaker than a Sharpwatch pill, it was still effective.
14:01The pills in the azure porcelain vial, however, proved completely useless.
14:05Hanley exhaled slowly and examined another gray pill in his palm.
14:09This was the dark cloud pill.
14:12Primarily meant for water attribute.
14:14Cultivators and intended for restorative purposes rather than direct advancement.
14:19After thinking briefly, he stood and left the chamber.
14:21As he passed Liu Laer's room, he sensed spiritual ki surging within.
14:27She was cultivating diligently.
14:28He nodded approvingly before heading to the pill refinement room.
14:32The room was about forty to fifty feet wide.
14:35A dark azure floor surrounded.
14:37A cylindrical mound engraved with dark red array patterns.
14:40At its center was a black hole emitting intense ground fire.
14:44A half-human-height pill furnace sat above it, releasing faint spiritual ki.
14:49Hanley sat down and formed an incantation seal.
14:52The red array lit up, and bright ground fire surged upward to envelop the furnace.
14:57He first cleaned the furnace thoroughly.
14:58Then he tossed the dark cloud pill inside.
15:01The ground fire split into eight separate flames under his control, surging into the furnace.
15:06A strong medicinal scent filled the air.
15:09As he continued forming hand seals, the aroma gradually faded.
15:13Nearly an hour passed.
15:15The scent transformed into a chaotic mixture of fragrances.
15:19Suddenly, Hanley released a final incantation seal.
15:22The flame extinguished instantly.
15:24He removed the lid.
15:26The dark cloud pill had vanished, replaced by a small mound of colorful powder.
15:31With a controlled burst of green light, he lifted the powder out.
15:34Countless fine threads of energy divided it into around a dozen portions, each a different color.
15:40He nodded with satisfaction and stored each portion into prepared jade boxes.
15:44This technique was called the pill reversal art, a rare secret art he had obtained in the spirit.
15:51Realm.
15:52It allowed him to reverse refine pills, breaking them down to identify their ingredients.
15:58Its creator had once hoped to use it to uncover full pill refinement formulas.
16:02But the technique had limits.
16:04It could reveal ingredients, not the complete method.
16:08Hanley had recorded it out of interest, and this was his first time using it.
16:12Fortunately, the dark cloud pill was only a nascent soul stage pill.
16:17If it had been of higher caliber, the attempt might have failed.
16:20Hanley placed the jade boxes containing the separated powders neatly to the side.
16:25Without wasting time, he swept a hand through the air and released another incantation seal,
16:30activating the pill furnace array once more.
16:33The red patterns on the mound lit up, and ground fire surged upward again.
16:37This time he produced a sharp watch pill.
16:40After a brief pause, he tossed it into the furnace and once again unleashed the pill reversal art.
16:46Nearly an hour later, the sharp watch pill was also broken down into around a dozen different ingredients.
16:52He carefully stored each portion into prepared jade boxes.
16:55Now, the ingredients of the dark cloud pill and the sharp.
16:59Watch pill were laid out together, before him.
17:02Hanley began a meticulous comparison.
17:05A short while later, a faint smile appeared on his face.
17:08Most of the ingredients in the two pills were completely different.
17:12However, there was one type of blue crystalline powder present in both.
17:15Its color and form were identical in each pill.
17:18The only difference was quantity.
17:20The sharp watch pill contained significantly more of it than the dark cloud pill.
17:25Both pills had shown some effect on him.
17:28Although he could not yet confirm that this blue, powder was the sole effective component.
17:33It was clearly worth investigating.
17:35Hanley gently dipped his fingertip into the blue powder, brought it close to his nose, then tasted a small amount.
17:42His brows slowly furrowed.
17:44Throughout his cultivation journey, whether in the human realm or the spirit realm,
17:48pill refinement had always accompanied him.
17:51He was familiar with nearly all known ingredients in those realms,
17:55and even had knowledge of materials from other worlds.
17:58Yet this blue powder was completely unfamiliar.
18:01Perhaps it was unique to the spirit domain realm.
18:04After pondering for a while, Hanley suddenly rose to his feet and left his cave abode.
18:09By now, night had fallen.
18:11Azure light flashed around him as he flew through the darkness.
18:14Moments later, he descended before a secluded cave abode on Sunset Peak.
18:19Several dozen kilometers away, the area was quiet and isolated.
18:24After briefly scanning his surroundings, Hanley stepped forward and produced a voice transmission talisman.
18:30He whispered a message into it and sent it flying inside as a streak of white light.
18:35Moments later, the gates opened with a rumbling sound.
18:38Please pardon my intrusion, Elder Gao, Hanley said with a cupped fist salute.
18:43Not at all.
18:44I didn't expect to see you again so soon.
18:47Fellow Taoist Han, please come in.
18:50Gao Bulen replied warmly.
18:52Gao Bulen's cave abode was larger than Hanley's, though simply furnished.
18:56A strong medicinal fragrance filled the air.
18:59I won't take much of your time, Elder Gao, Hanley said directly after sitting down.
19:03I came to ask you something.
19:06Gao Bulen looked slightly surprised.
19:08Please go ahead.
19:09Hanley produced a jade box containing the blue powder and handed it over.
19:14Do you recognize this ingredient?
19:17Gao Bulen examined it carefully.
19:19He dipped a finger into the powder, tasted it, then raised an eyebrow and gave Hanley a meaningful look.
19:26It seems I came to the right person, Hanley said calmly.
19:29You certainly did, Gao Bulen replied with a faint smile.
19:34However, his voice trailed off suggestively.
19:37Hanley immediately tossed him a high-grade spirit stone.
19:40Gao Bulen caught it happily, his smile widening.
19:43This is powdered cloud crane herb.
19:46When it reaches a certain age, it becomes a primary ingredient in several high-grade pills within our sect.
19:52It's extremely rare.
19:54Moreover, this powder has been specially processed.
19:57Without years of pill refinement experience, it would be nearly impossible to identify.
20:02Hanley nodded.
20:04What are its medicinal properties?
20:06Again, Gao Bulen smiled slyly.
20:08Another high-grade spirit stone flew into his hand.
20:11Gao Bulen continued, clearly pleased.
20:14The cloud crane herb is also called the chameleon.
20:17Herb.
20:18At a hundred years, it turns white.
20:21At one thousand years, blue.
20:22At three thousand years, red.
20:24At ten thousand years, dark red.
20:26At thirty thousand years or above, purplish red.
20:29Its most remarkable property is that upon reaching one hundred years,
20:33it can absorb the energy of the rising sun and generate a wisp of quintessential purple quay.
20:39This purple quay is essential for cultivating certain powerful techniques.
20:43It can also be directly converted into quintessential spiritual power,
20:47cleansing one's essence and strengthening one's constitution.
20:51The older the herb, the purer and more potent the quintessential purple quay becomes.
20:57Where can it be found?
20:58Hanley asked.
20:59It grows only under extremely specific conditions.
21:03As far as I know, it exists in only a few locations,
21:07most of which are controlled by major sects.
21:09Almost all specimens over one thousand years, old are in sect possession.
21:13It's nearly impossible to find them outside.
21:16Hanley had already reached his conclusion.
21:18This quintessential purple quay was most likely the key to restoring his magic power.
21:23Besides the sharp watch pill, what other pills use cloud crane herb?
21:28This herb is also used in small amounts in the dark cloud.
21:32Pill.
21:32The spirit-nurturing pill and void origin.
21:36Pill contain minor quantities as well, but the purple quay within them is negligible.
21:42After thanking Gao Bulan, Hanley made another trip to Trade Valley.
21:46He spent a top-grade spirit stone purchasing several of the mentioned pills,
21:50along with multiple cloud crane herbs that were several hundred years old.
21:54Soon he returned to his secret chamber.
21:56The pills and herbs were placed neatly before him.
22:00He swallowed a dark, cloud pill.
22:03Warmth rose from his dantian as spiritual power,
22:06gradually converted into magic power.
22:09Encouraged, he picked up a cloud crane herb,
22:12chewed it, and swallowed.
22:14About ten minutes later, his dantian warmed again.
22:17Wisps of magic power flowed inward.
22:19A faint smile appeared on his face.
22:22He had confirmed it.
22:23The quintessential purple quay was indeed the key.
22:26Over the course of a full day and night, Hanley consumed nearly all the pills and herbs he had purchased.
22:32His cultivation base recovered to the late-nascent soul stage.
22:36He was elated.
22:37But just as he prepared to consume the remaining pills, his expression suddenly stiffened.
22:42The medicinal power within him converted into magic power and flowed toward his dantian.
22:47But his dantian was already like a full reservoir.
22:51It could hold no more.
22:52The excess magic power lingered briefly, then dissipated.
22:57Hanley sighed softly.
22:58This likely had something to do with the condition of his nascent soul.
23:02In his current state, consuming more pills would only be wasteful.
23:05He would have to wait until his physical body and spiritual sense
23:09recovered further before investigating the issue with his nascent soul.
23:13At present, he could not increase his magic power through cultivation.
23:17Pills could only restore him to late-nascent soul stage.
23:21No further.
23:22His top priority now was to accelerate the recovery of his body and spiritual sense.
23:27As he pondered his next move, his brows furrowed.
23:31Suddenly, a thought struck him.
23:33He produced the guest elder badge given to him by Luo Jun and injected his spiritual sense into it.
23:39A golden map of the cold flame sect appeared before his eyes.
23:43His gaze moved across the glowing lines until it stopped on a building,
23:47located on Sage Gathering Peak.
23:49Beside it were the words,
23:51Scripture Library.
23:53Halfway up Cloudrise Peak,
23:54A young disciple in a white robe was climbing the mountain path step by step.
24:00Just as he lifted his foot to take the next step,
24:02a blur flashed across his vision.
24:04His body froze instantly,
24:06rooted to the ground as if time itself had stopped.
24:09Even his spiritual sense became hazy and indistinct,
24:12as though covered by a layer of mist.
24:14An imposing young man appeared silently beside him.
24:18It was Han Li.
24:18Tell me about the Scripture Library,
24:21Han Li said.
24:22Blue light flickered within his eyes as he stared directly into the disciple's gaze.
24:27The white-robed disciple's eyes glazed over completely,
24:30his expression dull and lifeless.
24:33In a flat tone, he replied,
24:34The Scripture Library is located on Sage Ae,
24:37Gathering Peak.
24:38It is divided into the inner,
24:40library and the outer library.
24:42The outer library is open to all disciples and elders.
24:45The inner library is restricted to inner court disciples and elders only.
24:50Han Li's expression did not change,
24:51but a thoughtful glint surfaced in his eyes.
24:54The Scripture Library was one of the most important places in the sect.
24:58Naturally, its defenses were extremely tight.
25:01To exchange for resources inside,
25:03disciples and elders had to pay large sums of spirit stones.
25:07And at the same time,
25:09sect contribution points would be deducted.
25:11Sect contribution points represented the merit
25:14one had earned for the sect.
25:16Inner sect disciples and elders gained
25:18these points by completing missions assigned by the sect.
25:21The more dangerous and difficult the mission,
25:24the more contribution points it awarded.
25:26Without spending years accumulating such points,
25:29it was impossible to exchange for high-grade,
25:32cultivation arts or powerful secret techniques.
25:35Because of this,
25:36many people sought shortcuts.
25:37Over the years,
25:38quite a few vagrant cultivators with hidden motives had joined the cold flame sect as guest elders,
25:44hoping to sneak into the Scripture Library and steal cultivation resources.
25:49However,
25:49every single one of them had been discovered.
25:52None escaped punishment and their fates were grim.
25:55The Scripture Library's defenses were watertight.
25:58There were spatial-tempering stage elders stationed there at all times,
26:02patrolling day and night.
26:03Countless powerful restrictions surrounded the building,
26:07making it nearly impossible for ordinary cultivators to approach.
26:10After hearing everything,
26:12Hanli pondered briefly.
26:13Then he lightly tapped a finger against the disciple's glabella.
26:17In the next instant,
26:18he vanished like a wraith.
26:19Only then did the white-robed disciple's suspended foot finally come down.
26:24Having been frozen for so long without realizing it,
26:27he almost stumbled forward and fell flat on his face.
26:30After steadying himself,
26:32he rubbed his slightly numb calf and looked around in confusion.
26:36Seeing nothing unusual,
26:37he shook his head and continued up the mountain,
26:39unaware of what had just happened.
26:42About fifteen minutes later,
26:43Hanli appeared on sage-gathering peak.
26:46He stood beneath a towering cypress tree
26:49and looked toward a pavilion in the distance.
26:51The structure was about ninety feet tall,
26:54built in a regular octagonal shape with eight faces,
26:57yet it had only a single entrance,
27:00located on the south-facing wall.
27:02Intricate defensive arrays were engraved across its roof,
27:05faintly shimmering.
27:06Two groups of cultivators constantly patrolled around it without pause.
27:10Hanli observed quietly for some time,
27:13memorizing the layout and the rhythm of the patrols.
27:16A contemplative look crossed his face
27:18before he disappeared once again in a flash.
27:21That night,
27:22deep within a secluded valley of the cold flame sect,
27:25A massive bluestone hall stood solemnly beneath the darkness.
27:30Seven or eight patrol groups circled the area,
27:33each led by deity transformation cultivators,
27:36clearly indicating the hall's importance.
27:38One patrol group flew silently into the valley entrance.
27:41Their leader, an azure-robed man,
27:44yawned wearily as he guided the team forward.
27:47Another patrol group passed several hundred feet away,
27:50heading in a different direction.
27:51The azure-robed man pursed his lips in mild dissatisfaction.
27:56In his opinion,
27:57the heavenly talisman hall was guarded excessively.
28:00The valley was already hidden and protected by a powerful array.
28:04It seemed impossible for anyone to infiltrate such a place.
28:07Still, he did not dare voice his thoughts.
28:10Instead, he transmitted a message to his disciples,
28:13reminding them to remain vigilant.
28:15Suddenly, a thunderous boom erupted from a hall nearby.
28:18A flash of purple lightning illuminated the darkness for a split second
28:23before everything fell silent again.
28:25The azure-robed man stiffened.
28:27Who's there?
28:28Someone's breaking into the heavenly talisman hall.
28:31Disciples shouted in alarm.
28:33Snapping back to his senses,
28:35the azure-robed man shot downward,
28:37arriving outside the hall almost instantly.
28:40Show yourself!
28:41Surrender immediately!
28:42He roared, gripping a treasure in one hand
28:45while gesturing sharply with the other.
28:46His disciples immediately spread out surrounding the hall.
28:50Within moments, all patrol teams converged.
28:53Over a hundred cultivators formed a tight encirclement around the building.
28:57Yet the hall's interior remained completely dark and silent.
29:00All halls in this area were sealed with restrictions that blocked spiritual sense.
29:05The patrol leaders exchanged uneasy glances.
29:08According to sect rules, they had no authority to enter the hall.
29:12At that moment, a streak of white light descended and transformed into
29:17a white-haired elderly man.
29:19Master Fan!
29:20Someone has broken into the heavenly talisman hall!
29:22A patrol leader reported hurriedly.
29:25We were considering entering, but according to the rules...
29:28Idiot!
29:29The elderly man snapped furiously.
29:31Is this the time to talk about rules?
29:33Get inside!
29:34He rushed forward.
29:35Most patrol leaders followed him in, though two remained outside.
29:40Reaching the entrance, the white-haired elder was startled to...
29:44Find the gate's restrictions completely intact.
29:46There was no visible damage.
29:48Without hesitation, he took out a badge.
29:51A burst of white light shot from it and landed on the gate,
29:54which flashed briefly before swinging open.
29:56They entered swiftly.
29:58The elder formed an incantation seal,
30:01and dazzling white light filled the hall, illuminating everything.
30:04The layout was simple.
30:06About a dozen white jade shelves stood neatly arranged inside.
30:10Black scorch marks stained the floor, but no intruder was in sight.
30:15The patrol leaders exchanged bewildered looks.
30:18The azure-robed man stared wide-eyed.
30:21He had been watching the hall the entire time.
30:24It was inconceivable that someone could enter and escape unnoticed.
30:28Suddenly, the white-haired elder hurried to one shelf, his face turning pale.
30:32The heavenly shadow rock and the moon-gazing herb are gone.
30:36All the shelves had been protected by restrictions.
30:39Yet the seals near two of them had been broken.
30:42A large number of precious materials were missing.
30:44The flowing billow wood and the iron-heart feather are gone as well.
30:49He cried, rushing to another shelf.
30:51The atmosphere turned grim.
30:53Search the entire sect!
30:55Deploy everyone!
30:56Capture the thief!
30:57The elder roared.
30:59The heavenly talisman hall theft threw the cold flame sect into chaos.
31:03Night patrol disciples scoured the area until dawn.
31:07Even outer court disciples were awakened to join the search.
31:10The entire spirit flame mountain range was combed thoroughly.
31:14Yet no trace of the perpetrator could be found.
31:17Soon the higher-ups were alerted.
31:19A late spatial-tempering stage elder, skilled in tracking, arrived to investigate.
31:23After careful examination, he concluded that the intruder had escaped using a lightning-type
31:30teleportation array and had left no traces behind.
31:33Even he could do nothing.
31:34The matter was too minor to involve body integration stage grand elders,
31:39so Masterfan was eventually forced to call off the open search.
31:42On the surface, the commotion subsided.
31:44However, the sect did not truly let the matter rest.
31:47There had been no breach in the grand, protective array surrounding the spirit flame mountain.
31:53Range.
31:53This meant the thief was still somewhere, within the mountain range.
31:57Powerful cultivators were secretly dispatched to continue the hunt.
32:01After this incident, defenses throughout the cold flame sect were strengthened several-fold,
32:07and vigilance increased everywhere.
32:09Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
32:11That night, the scripture library of the cold flame sect stood in silence beneath the dark sky.
32:18Ever since the Heavenly Talisman Hall incident, the number of patrols around the pavilion had doubled.
32:23Spiritual senses swept through the surroundings without pause,
32:27and every corner was watched with extreme vigilance.
32:30In a dense forest several thousand feet away, an indistinct silver figure emerged soundlessly.
32:36Under the cover of night, his facial features were impossible to discern.
32:40He raised his head and looked toward the octagonal pavilion that housed the scripture library.
32:46A moment later, he flipped his hand and produced a light purple talisman,
32:50which he pressed onto his own body.
32:52The talisman exploded without a sound,
32:54transforming into several faint runes shaped like tiny tadpoles.
32:58They revolved around him briefly before sinking into his flesh.
33:02A surge of purple mist rose up, swallowing his figure whole.
33:06He vanished from sight.
33:08In truth, he had not disappeared.
33:10His body had become insubstantial, drifting forward like a ghost toward the scripture library.
33:16He paid no attention to the patrol teams moving about the area.
33:20The cultivator's spiritual senses constantly scanned their surroundings.
33:24Yet none of them detected him.
33:26In moments, he reached the main entrance.
33:29The wide stone doors were closed.
33:31Faint flashes on their surface revealing the presence of active restrictions.
33:35The figure formed a hand seal and chanted softly before opening his mouth.
33:40To release a faint cloud of azure ki.
33:43If magnified countless times, that chi would reveal itself as innumerable tiny runes.
33:49The runes seeped into the restriction like acid eating through metal.
33:53A hole silently corroded open within the defensive barrier.
33:57The figure slipped through it in an instant.
33:59The restrictions flickered once and returned to normal, leaving no trace behind.
34:04The entire process had taken only a blink.
34:06The patrolling cultivators outside remained unaware.
34:10Inside.
34:11He arrived in a vast, circular hall measuring roughly two to three hundred feet across.
34:16Around a dozen passageways extended deeper into the library.
34:19At the far end stood a winding black staircase leading upward.
34:23After a brief glance around, he drifted toward one of the passages.
34:27It was short, ending in a stone chamber sealed by another white restriction.
34:32Above the door hung a white jade plaque engraved with two words.
34:37Cultivation arts.
34:38A flicker of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
34:41Again, he released azure key, corroding a hole through the white restriction.
34:45He slipped inside.
34:46The chamber was enormous, filled with hundreds of bookshelves.
34:50Each shelf was sealed within a red light barrier.
34:52The shelves were divided into grids, each containing a jade slip.
34:57Beside every grid was a label describing the cultivation art stored within.
35:01The figure approached a shelf and released another strand of azure key,
35:05dissolving part of the red barrier.
35:07With a wave of his hand, several jade slips flew into his grasp.
35:12He injected his spiritual sense into them.
35:14Moments later, his brows furrowed.
35:16He casually returned the slips to their places.
35:19They were core formation and nascent soul stage cultivation arts.
35:23Useful, but not what he sought.
35:25He continued through the chamber, examining every jade slip one by one.
35:30After finishing, he shook his head in disappointment.
35:33Without hesitation, he exited and returned to the central hall.
35:37He explored another passage.
35:39Above its chamber door was a plaque reading Arts.
35:42He broke through its restrictions as well, searched thoroughly, and left again.
35:47Then a third path.
35:49Over two hours passed swiftly.
35:51All the dozen or so passages had been explored.
35:54Yet his expression remained tense.
35:56He still had not found what he was looking for.
35:59At last he drifted toward the winding black staircase.
36:02Ascending quietly, he reached the top and found himself.
36:06Before a massive stone door several dozen feet wide, on either side of the door sat a figure
36:11in meditation.
36:12On the left was a portly monk in a purple kasaya.
36:15On the right was a tall, thin man with a sickly yellow complexion.
36:19Their appearances were unremarkable, but their vast auras revealed their cultivation.
36:25Both were spatial-tempering stage experts.
36:28They meditated with eyes closed, unaware of the intruder.
36:31The figure glanced at them briefly before focusing on the stone door.
36:35Light rippled across its surface like flowing water, refracting into shifting colors.
36:40The restriction here was clearly far stronger than those below.
36:43This had to be the entrance to the inner library.
36:46The place that stored the cold flame.
36:49Sack's finest cultivation resources.
36:51He narrowed his eyes and waited.
36:53Then slowly, he advanced until he stood less than ten feet away from the two spatial-tempering
36:59cultivators.
37:00Suddenly, the portly monk's brow twitched.
37:03He opened his eyes and scanned the surroundings.
37:06What is it, Brother Linksy?
37:07The thin man asked, opening his eyes as well.
37:10Nothing, the monk murmured after a brief inspection.
37:13He had sensed only a vague unease, triggered by a secret technique he had cultivated long ago.
37:19Its accuracy was unreliable.
37:21Considering the layers of restrictions here, and the presence of two spatial-tempering cultivators,
37:27infiltration seemed nearly impossible.
37:30Even a grand ascension stage being would struggle to break in undetected.
37:35With that thought, he closed his eyes again.
37:37The thin man also dismissed it as a false alarm and resumed meditation.
37:42Throughout this exchange, the silver figure remained perfectly still.
37:45Only after both guardians closed their eyes did he release.
37:49A powerful surge of spiritual sense, forming an invisible barrier that enveloped the stone door.
37:55Within that concealed space, he released Azure Key once more.
37:59The rippling restriction resisted fiercely, shimmering and warping as magic power fluctuations
38:05surged outward.
38:06But all disturbances were contained within the spiritual sense barrier.
38:11He formed hand seals continuously.
38:13The Azure Key shifted shapes, expanding and contracting as it battled the glazed dark.
38:19Water array set up by Patriarch Cold Flame.
38:22At the center of the restriction, a five-foot-wide opening appeared.
38:26In the same instant, the figure flashed forward and slipped through.
38:30Though the technique was complex,
38:32The entire process from breach to entry took no more than one or two seconds.
38:37Immediately after he passed through, the barrier vanished silently.
38:42The portly monk's brows twitched again.
38:45He opened his eyes and stared at the stone door.
38:48The restriction rippled calmly, appearing perfectly intact.
38:52Yet the fleeting sense of foreboding lingered in his heart.
38:55Did you notice something, Brother Linksy?
38:57The thin man asked.
38:59Rising to his feet and releasing his spiritual sense to scan the area.
39:03Did you sense anything, Brother Qingtao?
39:06The monk replied as he carefully inspected the door.
39:09The thin man shook his head.
39:11Unless someone could travel hundreds of kilometers in two or three seconds,
39:15or break through Patriarch Cold Flames,
39:18glaze dark water array, and restore it instantly.
39:21There's nothing to worry about.
39:22He had detected nothing.
39:24Neither seems possible, the monk said with a wry smile.
39:28Perhaps I was imagining things.
39:30Even for the sect's grand ascension stage supreme elder,
39:34breaching the glazed dark water array,
39:36and restoring it within two or three seconds,
39:38would be nearly inconceivable.
39:40While the two spatial tempering cultivators were still outside speculating,
39:44the intruding figure had already appeared inside a black hall.
39:48The hall was not large, only around two to three hundred feet across.
39:52At its center stood a thick white jade pillar covered in countless intricate runes.
39:57From the top of the pillar, a gentle yellow glow radiated outward,
40:01forming a dome-shaped yellow light barrier that enclosed nearly half the hall.
40:06Within that enclosed space stood around a dozen redstone cabinets.
40:10Their interiors were obscured,
40:12giving them a mysterious and heavily guarded presence.
40:15The silver figure did not move immediately.
40:18Blue light flickered within his eyes as he carefully examined.
40:21The yellow barrier ahead.
40:23Moments later, he waved a hand.
40:25Dozens of bursts of black light shot out and revealed.
40:29Themselves to be black array flags,
40:31they landed around the yellow barrier in precise positions.
40:34With another hand seal,
40:36pillars of black light erupted from the flags and connected midair,
40:40forming a massive black light barrier that enveloped the entire hall,
40:44completely covering the yellow dome within it.
40:47The yellow barrier already occupied nearly half the hall.
40:50The black barrier now sealed off almost everything.
40:53Only then did the figure open his mouth and release.
40:56Azure key toward the yellow barrier,
40:58attempting to corrode it just as he had done with the previous restrictions.
41:02But this time was different.
41:04The Azure key had only eroded a palm-sized hole.
41:07When the yellow barrier flared brightly,
41:10countless bursts of yellow light shot forth,
41:12wrapping around the Azure key.
41:14At the same time,
41:15the runes on the white jade pillar lit up in unison.
41:19Threads of dazzling yellow light formed and coiled around the Azure,
41:23chi before tightening viciously.
41:25In an instant,
41:26the Azure key was shredded into fragments and dissipated.
41:29The hole sealed shut immediately.
41:31The figure showed no surprise.
41:33After studying the jade pillar further,
41:35he produced another dozen array flags,
41:38this time in various colors.
41:40With a flick of his wrist,
41:41they flew into position,
41:43hovering in a strange oval formation around a section of the yellow barrier.
41:48Though it appeared chaotic,
41:49the formation was clearly deliberate.
41:52He formed a rapid sequence of hand seals.
41:54Black light flickered from his hands as the array.
41:57Flags ignited in different colors.
41:59They shot forward like javelins,
42:01piercing into the yellow barrier and forming a ten-foot-wide encircled area.
42:05The barrier flashed wildly in resistance.
42:08Powerful magic power fluctuations surged outward.
42:12But the outer black barrier contained everything,
42:15preventing even a trace from escaping.
42:18He chanted a complex incantation.
42:20The array flags accelerated,
42:22embedding fully into the barrier.
42:24The yellow glow within the encircled section dimmed rapidly.
42:28He immediately released another burst of Azure key.
42:31This time,
42:32the weakened barrier could not resist.
42:33It was eroded away in a blink.
42:36But the jade pillar reacted again.
42:38The remaining yellow barrier outside.
42:40The encircled area surged,
42:42violently like a tidal wave,
42:44pouring toward the breach.
42:46The hall trembled as fierce fluctuations battered against the black barrier.
42:50The black barrier buzzed and shook,
42:52nearly overwhelmed.
42:54Fortunately, within two or three seconds,
42:56a large opening was created.
42:58The figure flashed through the hole and landed beside the white jade pillar.
43:01Without hesitation, he released dense black key from his mouth.
43:06Enveloping the pillar,
43:07he formed hand seals and sent streams of black incantation marks into it.
43:12The black key spread across the pillar,
43:14staining the glowing runes dark.
43:16The yellow light dimmed.
43:17The violent surges ceased.
43:19The barrier stabilized.
43:21With a wave of his hand,
43:23the multicolored array flags flew back to him and were stored away.
43:27Then he produced a stack of yellow array flags and sent them into the barrier from the inside.
43:33They vanished upon contact.
43:34The barrier rippled and then returned to normal,
43:37the large hole sealing completely.
43:39Only now did he turn toward the redstone cabinets.
43:42Each cabinet was sealed by a dark red light barrier.
43:45He approached one and immediately released azure key.
43:49The red barrier rippled violently,
43:51dimming rapidly under corrosion.
43:53But suddenly, specks of white light appeared on its surface.
43:57Red and white intertwined,
43:59resisting the azure key together.
44:01At that exact moment,
44:02a deafening gong resounded through the hall.
44:05The space trembled.
44:06The figure paused for the briefest instant.
44:09Then he reacted.
44:10He chanted swiftly,
44:12reshaping the azure key again and again,
44:14to attack the red and white restriction.
44:17Yet it refused to break.
44:18Abruptly, he dispelled the azure key.
44:20He pressed his index and middle fingers against his glabella.
44:24A black rift split open there,
44:25revealing an inky black eyeball.
44:27Black runes rotated within it.
44:29A beam of black light,
44:31as thick as a finger,
44:32shot forward and struck the restriction.
44:34The red and white barrier was instantly
44:37pierced and shattered with a dull thud.
44:39At the same moment,
44:40a massive surge of spiritual scents burst from his glabella,
44:44splitting into a dozen strands
44:46that entered the jade slips inside the cabinet,
44:49rapidly inspecting their contents.
44:51Outside, the alarm had already spread.
44:53The restrictions around the scripture.
44:55Library flashed wildly
44:56as a piercing alert echoed across the cold flame sect.
45:00Someone has broken into the scripture library.
45:02Who dares?
45:04Is it the same person from the heavenly talisman hall?
45:07Figures converged from all directions.
45:09Patrol leaders immediately
45:11reported to the sect's higher-ups
45:13while the strongest among them
45:14rushed into the library.
45:16Lights illuminated the night across the sect
45:18as chaos erupted.
45:20The first to react were the two,
45:22spatial-tempering cultivators,
45:24guarding the inner library.
45:25The moment the alarm sounded,
45:27they sprang to their feet,
45:28fury on their faces.
45:29Someone had infiltrated the inner library
45:32right beneath them.
45:33Was it a Grand Ascension cultivator?
45:35The thought crossed both their minds,
45:37but there was no time to dwell on it.
45:39Each summoned a jade talisman,
45:42one crescent-shaped, the other oval.
45:44When placed together,
45:46they formed a complete circle.
45:47They pressed it against the stone door.
45:50The rippling restriction vanished instantly.
45:52The door swung open.
45:54They charged inside.
45:56Immediately, they were confronted
45:57by the massive black barrier
45:59filling the hall.
46:00Without hesitation,
46:01the portly monks summoned a round mirror.
46:03With a hand seal,
46:04gray light flashed from it,
46:06releasing a thick gray beam
46:08that struck the black barrier
46:09with a thunderous boom.
46:11The barrier rippled violently but held.
46:13Simultaneously,
46:14the thin man summoned
46:15four azure flying swords.
46:17They circled briefly
46:18before transforming
46:19into four azure lotus flowers.
46:22Countless streaks of azure sword chi
46:24erupted and struck the black barrier.
46:26Under the combined assault,
46:28the barrier finally tore apart.
46:30Stop!
46:30The two spatial-tempering cultivators
46:33saw the silver figure within
46:34and felt both relief and rage.
46:36The intruder was only emitting
46:38a nascent soul aura,
46:39but the figure ignored them completely.
46:41He had just finished examining one cabinet
46:43and moved calmly to the next.
46:46Another beam of black light
46:47shot from his glabella,
46:49shattering the restriction
46:50of the second cabinet.
46:51Once more,
46:52his spiritual sense surged
46:53into the jade slips,
46:55rapidly scanning their contents.
46:57As if the two enraged
46:59spatial-tempering,
47:00cultivators did not exist at all.
