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.
00:14Laman Boneflame didn't answer immediately. He pondered Taoist Clearbright's proposal for a moment.
00:20His thin fingers resting calmly as his sickly yellow face revealed nothing.
00:25Finally, he spoke in a composed voice.
00:27The fact that this man is wanted by the ubiquitous, Pavilion already proves he's no ordinary cultivator.
00:34Even if his power is suppressed in a lower realm, he's still an immortal.
00:38Surely he isn't someone that two or three Grand Ascension stage beings can simply capture.
00:44Taoist Clearbright waved a dismissive hand.
00:47There's no need to worry, fellow Taoist.
00:49From the information I've gathered, he's severely injured, far from his peak.
00:53In his current state, he's only slightly stronger than an average Grand Ascension cultivator.
00:59Laman Boneflame's eyes narrowed slightly.
01:02Even so, involving our sex in the lower realm to deal with an immortal is too risky.
01:07It would be safer to wait until he leaves the spirit.
01:11Domain Realm.
01:12Then we capture him personally.
01:13Clearbright leaned forward slightly, his tone becoming more persuasive.
01:17This is not something we should delay.
01:19The ubiquitous Pavilion is offering an enormous reward.
01:23That alone suggests he's hiding a tremendous secret.
01:26Even if that's not the case.
01:27The reward itself is worth the gamble.
01:30Laman Boneflame truly was tempted.
01:32After thinking carefully, he finally said,
01:34Very well.
01:35I will consider it.
01:37If everything is exactly as you say, our two sects can cooperate.
01:41Once I return to Blackwater City, we'll finalize the details.
01:44Clearbright smiled faintly.
01:46I look forward to it.
01:48Several days later.
01:50Deep within the Origin Realm Temple, inside a vast and completely empty hall,
01:55a massive jade platform sat at the center.
01:57Engraved upon it was a teleportation array over one hundred feet in size.
02:02The formation was humming, glowing with dazzling white light.
02:06Standing in front of it was Taoist closed mountain.
02:09His face expressionless as if he had been waiting.
02:12Suddenly the white light swelled, then contracted.
02:14Circles of runes appeared within the array, releasing brilliant radiance.
02:19When the light faded, two figures emerged.
02:22One tall, one short.
02:24The shorter one was an elderly man in black robes.
02:27Balding on top, back slightly hunched, hands clasped behind him.
02:32His head barely reached the shoulder of the man beside him.
02:35His face was dark like unrefined iron, and his aura was cold and sinister.
02:39The taller figure was refined and composed.
02:42It was Duan Renly.
02:44Welcome, fellow Taoist Tong.
02:46Fellow Taoist Duan.
02:48Taoist closed mountain, greeted warmly.
02:50It is truly an honor.
02:51You both look as vigorous as ever.
02:54Especially fellow Taoist Tong, your cultivation has clearly advanced.
02:58This calls for celebration.
03:00The hunched elder was Tong Renly, the most powerful cultivator of the Heavenly Ghost.
03:05Sect.
03:06Arguably the strongest being in the entire.
03:08Spirit domain realm, yet he was reclusive and rarely seen.
03:13Tong Renly only nodded.
03:15Duan Renly returned the salute with a faint smile.
03:18Long time no see.
03:19This is not the place to talk.
03:21Closed Mountain said, gesturing politely.
03:24Let's move to the side hall.
03:26Soon the three were seated.
03:28Tong Renly wasted no time.
03:29Where is Han Lee?
03:31His voice was coarse and piercing like rusted metal grinding together.
03:35Closed Mountain answered calmly.
03:37He is on the star-gathering platform.
03:39He has been there for half a year.
03:41He hasn't left even once.
03:43Duan Renly frowned slightly.
03:45Why would an immortal use the star-gathering platform?
03:48Do you know why?
03:50Closed Mountain nodded thoughtfully.
03:52I've observed him many nights.
03:54I also stationed a body integration cultivator there.
03:57Judging from the phenomena, he's cultivating some type of body refinement art.
04:02Duan Renly's brows tightened.
04:03His physical body is already terrifying.
04:06He can transform into the giant mountain ape and azure Luan bird true spirits.
04:11And he's still refining it?
04:12Could he be a profound immortal who fled here?
04:15Perhaps, Closed Mountain replied.
04:18Patriarch Clearbright informed me he lost his immortal body due to severe injury.
04:22In this lower realm, his power is suppressed.
04:25At present, he's considered a faux immortal.
04:27Tong Renly spoke in a wary tone.
04:30Even a faux immortal surpasses ordinary Grand Ascension cultivators.
04:34We must be cautious.
04:36I agree, Closed Mountain said seriously.
04:39That's why I invited you here.
04:41To devise a thorough strategy.
04:44Tong Renly gave him a meaningful look.
04:46This is your territory.
04:48I assume you already have ideas.
04:50Closed Mountain chuckled modestly.
04:52I do, but I'll need your input.
04:54That night, the Origin Realm Temple was silent beneath the dark sky.
04:59Except for one place.
05:00The pinnacle of the Nine Palace Peak shone like daylight.
05:04Six enormous pillars of light descended from the starry sky.
05:07Flashing before dissolving into silver specks.
05:10A silver mist blanketed the star-gathering platform.
05:14At the very top level, Hun Lee sat cross-legged.
05:17His body radiated silver brilliance.
05:19His skin gleamed like forged metal.
05:21Every muscle fiber looked as if it had been tempered with steel essence.
05:25On his chest and abdomen, six distinct blue specks of light shone clearly.
05:30Suddenly, the six pillars of black light that had been enhancing the process retracted.
05:36They reverted into six palm-sized black mirrors and flew back into his body.
05:40The star-moon mirrors disappeared.
05:43Hun Lee slowly exhaled and opened his eyes.
05:45With the platform and mirror's assistance,
05:48He had finally mastered the sixth level of the Big Dipper Origin Arts.
05:53I'm only one step away now, he murmured.
05:56He stood up and took one step forward.
05:59Boom!
06:00The entire platform trembled violently.
06:02Hun Lee stumbled slightly.
06:04His foot had sunk straight into the stone, half his calf embedded.
06:08He looked down, then rubbed his nose sheepishly.
06:11He hadn't expected his body to strengthen this much.
06:14He simply forgot to tread lightly.
06:16Fortunately, the spot he stepped on had no constellation engravings.
06:21Otherwise, he would have damaged the formation.
06:23Around the platform, the elders stiffened.
06:26They turned toward the body integration elder.
06:28He inspected briefly and transmitted calmly,
06:32It's fine.
06:33By now, nothing Hun Lee did could truly shock him.
06:36After all, this was someone who cultivated under overwhelming star power as if it were normal.
06:41Back on the platform, Hun Lee flipped his hand.
06:44A gray shield appeared, two feet long.
06:47This was one of the treasures he had taken during his rampage.
06:51In the heavenly ghost sect.
06:53It belonged to a spatial, tempering cultivator he had casually swatted aside.
06:57The shield was forged from flowing light metal mixed with refined crystals.
07:01Profound runes covered its surface.
07:04Han Lee injected magic power.
07:06Spiritual light flared.
07:07He grabbed both sides.
07:09Applied slight force.
07:10The spiritual light extinguished instantly.
07:13The shield crumpled like soft clay,
07:15kneaded into a metal ball in his hands.
07:17A hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
07:20His physical strength and resistance had nearly doubled.
07:22He looked up at the stars.
07:24Then calmed himself and sat back down.
07:27Two hours later, he formed a hand seal and began chanting the seventh level incantation.
07:33The Big Dipper constellation in the sky flared brilliantly, glowing bluish silver.
07:38Its brightness fluctuated erratically.
07:41Seven enormous pillars of silver light crashed down.
07:44The entire platform glowed like molten silver.
07:47Then, boom, the entire mountain peak trembled violently.
07:51A vortex of silver light formed, more than ten times stronger than before.
07:57The protective barrier above the platform was instantly shredded by the violent star power,
08:03dissipating into golden fragments.
08:05The three spatial tempering elders were blasted away immediately.
08:09Even the body integration elder barely reacted in time, summoning defensive treasures.
08:14Despite that, he was still blown back over a thousand feet.
08:17After stabilizing himself, he stared toward the Nine Palace Peak in disbelief.
08:22Several hundred kilometers away from the Nine Palace Peak, three figures stood side by side on the summit of a
08:29mountain.
08:30Daoist closed mountain.
08:32Tongrene, Duanrenli.
08:33From that distance, they were watching the terrifying phenomenon unfolding above the Nine Palace Peak.
08:40None of them spoke.
08:41Only the wind moved, rustling their robes gently in the night air.
08:46The atmosphere was heavy.
08:48Finally, Duanrenli broke the silence.
08:50So this is your plan?
08:51Let him cultivate inside your sect.
08:54And become even stronger?
08:55Closed mountain let out a slow sigh.
08:58This was my oversight.
08:59It appears he has found a way to recover from his injuries.
09:02Tongrene's voice was cold.
09:04We cannot delay any longer.
09:06Closed mountain nodded grimly.
09:08The preparations were nearly complete.
09:10I wanted to consider a few final details, but it seems we no longer have that luxury.
09:16Duanrenli harrumphed.
09:17We should have done this long ago.
09:19His fists clenched tightly within his sleeves, and a faint gleam of eagerness flashed in his eyes.
09:25The next morning,
09:26On Holy Fire Peak of the Cold Flame sect,
09:29Inside a quiet courtyard hidden within a purple bamboo forest,
09:33Sima Jing Ming stood respectfully before a sandalwood table.
09:37On the wall hung a three-foot portrait.
09:39He was reporting something to it.
09:41A flash of light rippled across the portrait, and a figure emerged.
09:46Patriarch Cold Flame.
09:47So you're saying Han Li has already begun cultivating the seventh level?
09:52The patriarch asked calmly.
09:53Based on the phenomenon last night?
09:56That is almost certain,
09:58Sima Jing Ming replied.
09:59But who exactly is this man?
10:01His speed of progress?
10:03I cannot comprehend it.
10:05Patriarch Cold Flame spoke slowly.
10:07I do not know his origins,
10:08But I recently learned that a massive organization in the immortal realm has issued a bounty for his capture.
10:15The reward is so great, even I feel tempted.
10:18He paused briefly.
10:20Taoist Clear Bright rarely leaves seclusion.
10:22Yet he recently went to Blackwater City to meet.
10:25Layman Bone Flame.
10:27It seems they are plotting through.
10:29The Heavenly Ghost Sect and the Origin Realm Temple.
10:32Sima Jing Ming's expression shifted.
10:34Should we also...
10:35You're suggesting we join them and share the spoils?
10:39Patriarch Cold Flame cut him off.
10:41Sima Jing Ming immediately fell silent.
10:43The patriarch's voice became meaningful.
10:46Neither Clear Bright nor Bone Flame has fought him personally.
10:49I have.
10:50Albeit briefly.
10:51And I can tell you.
10:53He is no ordinary person.
10:55The fact that he mastered the sixth level so quickly only confirms that.
10:59The reward is tempting.
11:01But temptation is meaningless if you're not alive to enjoy it.
11:04Yes, Patriarch.
11:06Sima Jing Ming replied hurriedly.
11:08That night.
11:10On the top of the star-gathering platform,
11:12Hanley sat cross-legged within the immense silver.
11:15Vortex formed by the seven pillars of light.
11:18Star power surged endlessly into his body,
11:21refining him from the inside out.
11:23His body remained completely still.
11:26But his mind was active.
11:27The phenomenon triggered by the seventh level was far more violent than before.
11:32The protective restriction around the platform had already been destroyed.
11:36The four elders had been blown away.
11:38None of them had returned.
11:40Daoist Close Mountain hadn't shown himself either.
11:42The supervision was strangely absent.
11:45That alone wasn't alarming.
11:47But recently, Hanley had noticed something else.
11:50Within a hundred kilometer radius of the platform,
11:53Origin Realm Temple cultivators had been leaving one by one.
11:56None had returned.
11:58At first he ignored it.
11:59Missions were common.
12:00But after half a month of this pattern, he grew wary.
12:04And just now, an inexplicable unease rose in his heart.
12:08A faint premonition.
12:10After brief contemplation,
12:12Hanley withdrew his spiritual sense from guiding the star power.
12:15Then he spread it outward, scanning several hundred kilometers in all directions.
12:19At that exact moment, the sky above suddenly blurred.
12:24Then, an enormous white rift tore open across the heavens.
12:27It looked as if the sky itself had been split in half.
12:31Countless silver runes poured out of the crack in a frenzy.
12:34They spun wildly, then exploded into balls of silver light, filling the entire sky.
12:39The lights merged, and formed an enormous silver moon.
12:43It shone with such brilliance that all surrounding stars paled into insignificance.
12:49This transformation took place in the blink of an eye.
12:51And the instant the silver moon fully formed, all descending starlight vanished.
12:56Hanley reacted instantly.
12:58He retreated in a flash, leaving Nine Palace Peak immediately.
13:01Within moments, he had already moved more than ten kilometers away.
13:05Then, a thunderous rumble erupted from a mountain several dozen kilometers away.
13:11A giant white rune over a thousand feet tall appeared on the mountain's surface.
13:16A massive pillar of white light shot into the heavens.
13:19Almost simultaneously, another mountain released a green pillar of light.
13:23Then another.
13:25And another.
13:26Eight mountains in total.
13:27Each one seemingly ordinary before.
13:29Each now erupting with massive runes and pillars of different colored light.
13:34The pillars connected.
13:35Runes interlocked in the sky.
13:37In mere seconds, a gargantuan light barrier formed.
13:40The Nine Palace Peak stood at its center.
13:43The barrier covered a radius of over fifty kilometers.
13:46Runes surged across its surface endlessly.
13:48Even from afar, one could sense the terrifying spiritual power fluctuations.
13:53Inside the barrier.
13:55Hanley stopped midair.
13:56A grim expression appeared on his face.
13:59So, they had finally decided to act.
14:02Blue light flickered in his eyes as he examined the formation.
14:05His brows furrowed.
14:07This restriction was far more profound than the Heavenly Ghost Monarch Pillar.
14:11A ray from before.
14:12Even he could not immediately detect its weakness.
14:15He moved instantly.
14:17In a blink, he arrived before the light barrier.
14:20Six blue specks lit up across his chest and abdomen.
14:23He threw a punch.
14:24Boom!
14:26The barrier quivered violently.
14:27An enormous fist indentation appeared.
14:30Five colored runes rushed toward the damaged area, repairing it visibly.
14:34Before it fully recovered.
14:36Second punch!
14:37The barrier trembled even more violently.
14:39It looked ready to collapse.
14:41Hanley raised his fist for a third strike.
14:44But suddenly, the silver moon above brightened dramatically.
14:48Boundless silver radiance rained down, filled with countless runes.
14:52The runes gathered, formed a massive pillar of light.
14:56It descended.
14:57Blinding radiance swallowed everything.
14:59When Hanley's vision returned, he was no longer on Nine Palace Peak.
15:04He stood in a barren desert.
15:06Endless.
15:07Lifeless.
15:08Gray rocks littered the ground.
15:10Massive craters dotted the landscape as if struck by meteors.
15:14Above, dense gray clouds hung low and oppressive, as though they might collapse at any moment.
15:19Another domain treasure?
15:21Hanley murmured.
15:22He released his spiritual sense.
15:24Nothing.
15:25Only barren land and stone.
15:27He directed it upward toward the gray clouds.
15:30But once his spiritual sense entered the clouds, progress slowed drastically.
15:36Even activating his spirit refinement technique, he could barely extend two hundred feet inside.
15:42Beyond that, only more gray clouds.
15:44Even his powerful spiritual sense was obstructed.
15:48He withdrew it thoughtfully.
15:50Just as he was about to investigate through other means, the gray clouds churned violently.
15:55Streaks of yellow light rained down from the sky.
15:58Upon touching the ground, each streak expanded rapidly and transformed.
16:03Golden humanoid figures emerged.
16:06Roughly human-sized, golden skin radiating light.
16:09Each wielded a different weapon.
16:11Yet their expressions were wooden, lifeless, like puppets.
16:15Within moments, nearly one thousand golden figures surrounded him in a perfect encirclement.
16:21Hanley had not anticipated this sudden shift.
16:24They were extremely agile.
16:26Some wielded swords, some spears, others axes and heavy maces.
16:30The variety alone showed that this wasn't a simple defensive.
16:33Formation.
16:34It was a prepared, killing array.
16:37The moment they landed, several leaped into the sky, gliding like enormous golden birds.
16:43Others charged across the ground, their feet pounding so heavily that the earth trembled
16:48beneath them.
16:49In the blink of an eye, Hanley was surrounded from every direction.
16:53Yet he did not move.
16:54He simply stood there calmly scanning them.
16:57The first puppet arrived.
16:59Its spear thrust forward.
17:01And a series of sharp spear projections tore through the air, screaming toward him.
17:05Hanley did not retreat.
17:07He advanced.
17:08Lightning fast, he reached out and grabbed the spear.
17:11An enormous force surged through his arm.
17:14Even Hanley swayed slightly from the impact.
17:17His expression changed.
17:18The strength of this puppet was shocking.
17:21He pulled violently.
17:23The puppet stumbled forward.
17:25With his free hand, Hanley punched.
17:28The spear slipped from the puppet's grip.
17:30The golden figure was blasted backward.
17:32Crashing into the army behind it and knocking down dozens in a chain reaction.
17:37But it rose again immediately.
17:39On its chest was a clear fist indentation.
17:42It moved slightly slower now.
17:43But it still charged.
17:45Hanley casually hurled the captured spear backward, impaling and sending several puppets flying.
17:51Then he looked at the first one again.
17:53His pupils contracted slightly.
17:56That punch had contained fifty percent of his strength.
17:58Enough to shatter a mountain.
18:00Yet it had not destroyed a single puppet.
18:02At that moment, the entire army surged toward him.
18:05Hanley gave a cold harumph.
18:07His body blurred.
18:09Afterimages streaked through the battlefield.
18:12Fists lashed out.
18:13Countless fist projections exploded outward in every direction.
18:17Golden puppets were sent flying repeatedly.
18:20Each one dented deeply in the chest before crashing into others and halting the forward momentum.
18:25Yet they stood again.
18:27Every single time, cold light flickered in Hanley's eyes.
18:31He appeared ghost-like before one puppet that had just been struck.
18:34He punched again, directly into the previous indentation.
18:38Cracks spread instantly across the puppet's body.
18:41Yellow light leaked from the fractures.
18:43Then it exploded.
18:45Reduced to yellow mist.
18:47Hanley's expression eased slightly.
18:49So they were not indestructible.
18:51They simply required concentrated force.
18:53The army did not hesitate.
18:55They continued to storm him relentlessly.
18:58Hanley inhaled deeply.
18:59Six blue specks lit up across his chest and abdomen.
19:03His body swelled.
19:04Power surged.
19:06Dull thumps rang out one after another as seven or eight puppets.
19:10Near him were blasted apart instantly.
19:12His fists blurred.
19:14Boom after boom echoed across the desert.
19:17Within two hundred feet of him, puppet after puppet exploded into yellow mist.
19:21With the Big Dipper origin art strengthening him, these golden dao warriors could not withstand direct sustained blows.
19:28Far away in the immortal realm, events unfolded calmly, in complete contrast to the chaos below.
19:35An inky black sea stretched endlessly.
19:38Black mist covered everything.
19:40Yin winds howled across the surface, raising waves over one hundred feet tall.
19:45Within the densest mist floated a massive city.
19:48Blackwater City, over one thousand feet tall, over one hundred kilometers wide.
19:53Its walls were made of crystalline black stone.
19:56Within rivers flowed, farmlands spread.
19:58Streets bustled.
20:00A living city thriving within darkness.
20:02At the center stood the inner city, and atop the highest point, inside a wooden pavilion with dragon and phoenix
20:09carvings.
20:09Two figures sat across from one another.
20:11Daoist Clearbright, Layman Boneflame, incense smoke drifted between them.
20:17Clearbright slowly set down his teacup.
20:19This blackwater spirit tea truly lives up to its reputation.
20:23Boneflame responded indifferently.
20:26If you like it, take some.
20:28Clearbright smiled warmly.
20:30In the lower realm, our sex rarely cooperated.
20:33But here in the immortal realm, cooperation benefits us both.
20:37Boneflame nodded.
20:38If we capture Han Lee, we'll need to cooperate to uncover his secrets.
20:43Clearbright's eyes sharpened.
20:45Have you discovered anything about his origins?
20:48Boneflame shook his head.
20:50Nothing useful.
20:52Clearbright sighed.
20:54Same here.
20:54Even the ubiquitous pavilion provides limited information.
20:58Only that the client is extremely powerful.
21:00Boneflame chuckled softly.
21:02Then we'll interrogate him ourselves.
21:05Clearbright studied him.
21:06You seem confident.
21:08You must have given your disciples something special.
21:11Boneflame glanced at him.
21:13You didn't?
21:14Clearbright smiled faintly.
21:16I took necessary precautions.
21:18Boneflame did not pry.
21:20Instead, he revealed something casually.
21:22I happened to grow warrior beans recently.
21:25Half a month ago, I successfully refined them into Dao warriors.
21:28Perfect for this mission.
21:30Clearbright's eyes widened slightly.
21:32You managed to nurture Dao warriors?
21:34Only golden Dao warriors.
21:37Boneflame replied dismissively, though pride flickered in his gaze.
21:41Even so, Clearbright said with envy, those will surpass most treasures.
21:46Hanli will not escape.
21:48Boneflame merely smiled.
21:50Then Clearbright asked thoughtfully.
21:52Hanli is technically a guest elder of the Cold Flame.
21:56Sect.
21:57Will Cold Flame interfere?
21:59Boneflame's eyes turned cold.
22:01Unless he wishes there to be only two top sects left in the spirit domain realm, he would be wise
22:06not to.
22:07Clearbright nodded slowly.
22:09Back in the mysterious gray domain above the cloud layer,
22:12Tong Reni, Daoist-closed mountain, and Duan Renli hovered in midair.
22:18Duan Renli held a half-human-sized yellow gourd.
22:21Golden text shimmered across its surface.
22:24Golden runes circled its mouth.
22:26As he chanted, golden light spiraled from the opening.
22:29Yellow bean-like objects flew out.
22:31They descended into the gray clouds below.
22:34The moment they touched the clouds, vortexes formed.
22:37The beans vanished.
22:39Daoist-closed mountain stared in shock.
22:41The art of raising an army from beans.
22:43I never expected your sect to wield such a legendary immortal technique,
22:48Tong Reni replied calmly.
22:50This technique is beyond my ability.
22:52I merely summon these Dao warriors through an immortal treasure bestowed by our patriarch.
22:58Daoist-closed mountain.
22:59Watched the situation below with clear approval,
23:02and said that given how terrifying Hanli's physical body was,
23:07capturing him through normal means would be impossible.
23:10However, if they could first exhaust him using the golden Dao warriors,
23:14then their chances of success would increase significantly.
23:17Tong Reni calmly analyzed the situation further.
23:20He acknowledged that the golden Dao warriors were only effective because of Daoist,
23:26closed mountain's domain treasure.
23:27The first stage of their coordinated plan had already succeeded.
23:31But if they truly wanted to capture Hanli,
23:34then the three of them would most likely need to attack together.
23:37At that exact moment,
23:39Duan Renli stopped chanting and said that the timing was right.
23:42He asked Daoist-closed mountain to show them what was happening inside the domain.
23:46Daoist-closed mountain responded immediately.
23:49He raised his hand and released a burst of silver light.
23:52Within that light was a silver bead about the size of an egg.
23:56The bead floated into the air, circled briefly, then positioned itself in front of the trio.
24:02Suddenly, it exploded into silver mist, which rapidly condensed into a massive silver mirror,
24:07roughly seventy to eighty feet wide.
24:09The mirror's surface blurred for a moment.
24:12Then a clear image appeared.
24:13The three Grand Ascension cultivators looked at the scene with great focus.
24:18But the moment they saw what was happening,
24:20their expressions changed drastically.
24:22Inside the mirror's image, golden warriors were descending continuously from the heavens,
24:28charging toward Hanli from every direction.
24:30Yet Hanli, tall and broad, moved through them with effortless ease.
24:35He unleashed a continuous barrage of fist projections.
24:39Each projection struck with flawless accuracy.
24:42Every golden warrior that came into contact with those fist projections
24:46was blasted away instantly, exploding into bursts of yellow light.
24:50Not a single one could even approach within one hundred feet of Hanli.
24:54In just a few seconds, seven or eight golden warriors had already been destroyed.
25:00Hanli's expression remained calm.
25:02His movements were smooth and unhurried,
25:04as if eliminating these Tao warriors required no real effort at all.
25:09Then suddenly, the mirror's surface distorted and collapsed back into silver mist.
25:14Duan Renli was stunned.
25:16He exclaimed in disbelief, questioning how this was possible.
25:20Tong Renli explained seriously that although the golden Tao warriors
25:23did not possess secret techniques or cultivation arts,
25:27each of them had a physical body comparable to high-grade body cultivators.
25:31Even one of them being surrounded by such numbers would be troublesome.
25:35Yet Hanli was dismantling them with ease.
25:37They had clearly underestimated him.
25:40Taoist Closed Mountain wondered whether
25:41Hanli had already recovered from his injuries.
25:45Tong Renli rejected that idea.
25:46If recovery had been so simple,
25:48Hanli would not have left the immortal realm to come to the spirit domain realm.
25:53At this point, there was no retreat.
25:55They had to proceed with their original plan,
25:58attack together and end this quickly.
26:01Inside the domain itself, Hanli continued his assault.
26:04He swayed sideways, evading simultaneous attacks from multiple golden warriors.
26:09In one motion, he lashed out with his right arm,
26:12releasing seven or eight fist projections at once.
26:15Each one struck a golden warrior directly on the head.
26:19The heads exploded instantly.
26:21Their bodies were blasted away and dissolved into yellow mist.
26:24Everything was executed with perfect efficiency.
26:27Within moments, nearly twenty golden warriors had been eliminated.
26:31By now, these warriors were no longer a threat.
26:34Hanli was destroying them faster than they could descend.
26:36After most had been destroyed, blue light flickered in Hanli's eyes.
26:41He lifted his gaze toward the gray clouds overhead,
26:44attempting to identify a weakness or opening above.
26:47Then, without warning, the streaks of yellow light raining down stopped completely.
26:52A section of the gray clouds trembled violently.
26:55A rift over one hundred feet wide tore open.
26:58Three streaks of light descended through it and then faded,
27:01revealing Taoist Closed Mountain, Duan Renli, and a short elderly man dressed in black robes.
27:08Hanli narrowed his eyes slightly.
27:10He immediately recognized that aside from Taoist Closed Mountain and Duan Renli,
27:15the third figure was clearly from the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
27:19He commented calmly that Taoist Closed Mountain had joined forces with the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
27:24He expressed disappointment.
27:26Taoist Closed Mountain replied that Hanli had made enemies he could not afford to oppose.
27:31He claimed he had no choice.
27:33Hanli then turned his attention to Duan Renli,
27:36noting that he had managed to recruit two other Grand Ascension stage beings.
27:41The black-robed elderly man spoke with seriousness.
27:44He explained that Hanli stood at the pinnacle of the spirit domain realm
27:49if it were only for fifty kilograms of yin,
27:52Dawn Stone,
27:53the Heavenly Ghost Sect would never have come after him.
27:57Hanli deduced that the elderly man must be Tong Renli,
28:00the number one cultivator of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
28:03He directly asked who he had offended that required three
28:06Grand Ascension cultivators to move against him simultaneously.
28:10Tong Renli immediately dismissed the idea that Hanli might be stalling for time.
28:15Without hesitation,
28:16Tong Renli released an antiquated gray book from his sleeve and pointed at it.
28:21The book's pages flipped rapidly with loud rustling sounds.
28:25Bursts of gray light poured out and transformed
28:28into strange creatures,
28:30birds,
28:31with ghostly heads,
28:32eagle bodies,
28:33and scorpion tails.
28:35Each creature was sixty to seventy feet in size.
28:38Dozens appeared almost instantly
28:40and spread their wings high in the sky.
28:42At the same time,
28:44Daoist Closed Mountain apologized for the intrusion and released a light.
28:48Blue Plate Treasure.
28:49It shot into the gray clouds and vanished.
28:52He then pointed toward the heavens.
28:54The dense clouds began churning violently.
28:58Deafening thunderclaps echoed as thick bolts of gray lightning flashed within them.
29:02Meanwhile,
29:03Dwan Renli began chanting again.
29:05Golden runes flowed across the surface of the yellow gourd in his hands.
29:09Hundreds of yellow beans flew out.
29:11Landing on the ground and transforming into even more golden warriors.
29:16The three Grand Ascension cultivators moved in perfect synchronization,
29:20as if this entire scenario had been rehearsed in advance.
29:23Han Lee continued releasing fist projections while studying the yellow gourd.
29:27A flicker of understanding appeared in his eyes.
29:30He realized the gourd was the source of the Golden Dao warriors.
29:34The moment he understood this,
29:35he unleashed a wide barrage of fist projections in every direction,
29:39clearing a radius of over one hundred feet and blasting warriors away.
29:44Immediately after,
29:45he leaped into the air and charged toward Dwan Renli.
29:48He knew that being dragged into this domain meant the trio had deeper schemes.
29:53Therefore, he had to seize initiative.
29:54But the strange birds above reacted instantly.
29:57Around a dozen swooped down simultaneously.
30:00They thrust their scorpion tails forward,
30:03releasing countless thin black threads that rained downward like a storm,
30:08covering a vast area around Han Lee.
30:10Han Lee angled his flight diagonally,
30:13leaving trails of after-images as he avoided every black thread.
30:17However, as soon as he stabilized and destroyed two nearby golden warriors,
30:22more birds descended.
30:23At nearly the same moment, a deafening thunderclap exploded.
30:27A massive bolt of gray lightning crashed down with overwhelming force.
30:31Han Lee's brows tightened.
30:33Golden light erupted from his body.
30:35Countless golden scales formed instantly across his skin.
30:38He threw a punch upward.
30:40A tremendous explosion followed as the lightning bolt shattered.
30:43His fist was unharmed, but the force pushed him back one step.
30:48Immediately after, the thin black thread struck his golden scales,
30:52producing metallic clangs.
30:54Yet they failed to leave even the slightest mark.
30:57Han Lee retaliated by hurling a golden warrior upward.
31:00It collided with one of the strange birds before it could retreat.
31:03Both disintegrated under the immense impact.
31:06Then more thunderbolts rained down, tearing through space.
31:09The strange birds continued their relentless assault.
31:12Han Lee moved unpredictably through the air.
31:15He punched apart lightning he couldn't dodge and occasionally destroyed more birds.
31:20On the surface, he appeared to be holding his ground without difficulty.
31:24However, this constant defense prevented him from reaching Dwan Renly.
31:28Meanwhile, more yellow beans poured from the gourd.
31:31Because Han Lee was now distracted by lightning and ghostly birds,
31:36he could no longer eliminate the warriors as quickly.
31:39The number of golden warriors began to surge.
31:42Soon, there were already three to four thousand in the domain.
31:45What troubled Han Lee even more was their behavior.
31:48Most were not attacking directly.
31:51Instead, they rushed outward, stopping at specific positions and standing still.
31:55Han Lee's pupils contracted.
31:57They were forming an array.
31:59The moment Han Lee realized the golden warriors were forming an array,
32:03he immediately changed tactics.
32:05He unclenched his fists and spread his fingers.
32:07Instead of striking directly, he grabbed a nearby golden warrior and hurled it toward the warriors positioned farther away.
32:16One stationary golden warrior was struck directly.
32:19The impact was so immense that both disintegrated instantly,
32:22releasing a powerful shock wave that knocked over several surrounding warriors.
32:27Han Lee then began moving rapidly through the battlefield, repeating this method.
32:31He picked up golden warriors as if they were lifeless objects and threw them like projectiles into distant formations,
32:38disrupting their positioning.
32:39Meanwhile, he completely ignored the gray, lightning strikes and the strange birds,
32:45attacks that he could not dodge.
32:47He allowed those attacks to strike his body directly.
32:49Within just a few seconds, the previously meticulous formation of the golden warriors collapsed into total chaos.
32:57Tong Reni's expression darkened when he saw this.
32:59He shouted decisively that they could not delay.
33:02Any longer and must end the battle.
33:05Immediately.
33:06Without hesitation, he flipped his hand and produced a rusty yellow badge.
33:10With his other hand, he formed a strange seal and began chanting rapidly.
33:15Brilliant yellow radiance appeared on the badge.
33:17Han Lee's attention was immediately drawn to it.
33:20Although he did not know its function, a powerful sense of danger rose in his heart the instant it appeared.
33:26Before Han Lee could react, the badge flew into the air and transformed into scintillating, yellow light above him.
33:33It rotated in mid-air while strange spirit patterns illuminated around it.
33:38At that same instant, all thousands of stationary golden warriors raised their arms above their heads and crossed them in
33:45perfect unison.
33:46Dazzling yellow light radiated from their bodies, converged at their crossed arms and then shot upward.
33:53The yellow light streams connected together in the sky and expanded outward, forming a massive yellow light barrier with a
33:59radius exceeding ten thousand feet, fully enclosing Han Lee.
34:03The moment the barrier formed, Han Lee felt an overwhelming weight descend upon him, like being crushed beneath a colossal
34:11mountain.
34:11His movements immediately slowed.
34:14Simultaneously, plumes of yellow mist rose from the ground.
34:17The mist intertwined and formed, thick yellow ropes that shot toward him like living serpents.
34:23In the blink of an eye, the ropes wrapped tightly around his waist, arms, and legs, binding him firmly to
34:29the ground and rendering him immobile.
34:31Han Lee frowned and activated his Big Dipper origin arts to the fullest extent.
34:36The six blue specks of light on his chest and abdomen brightened dramatically, amplifying his already terrifying strength.
34:43He twisted violently.
34:45The yellow ropes stretched taut.
34:47The thinner strands trembled intensely.
34:50Although they still bound him, they could no longer fully restrict his movement.
34:54At the same time, Dwan Renly's yellow gourd floated into the air above his head and remained suspended.
35:01He spat several mouthfuls of blood essence onto the gourd and resumed chanting.
35:05Bright yellow light flashed as the gourd rapidly expanded to the size of a house.
35:10The golden runes around its opening enlarged and shone brilliantly.
35:15Then countless yellow beans erupted from it in a torrent, like flood water bursting through a broken dam.
35:21The newly formed golden warriors rushed into designated positions, raised their arms, crossed them, and released dazzling yellow light that
35:30merged into the overhead barrier.
35:31Even while bound, Han Lee clenched his fists and managed to throw several punches, destroying nearby golden warriors and strange
35:39birds.
35:40However, his movements were slowing further.
35:43With every additional golden warrior, the barrier overhead grew denser.
35:46More yellow mist rose from the ground.
35:49The ropes binding him thickened and tightened continuously.
35:52His body felt impossibly heavy, as though multiple mountains pressed down on him.
35:56The ropes constricted tighter, limiting him more with each passing moment.
36:01Suddenly, golden light erupted from his body.
36:03Golden fur sprouted from his skin as he transformed instantly into a giant golden.
36:09Ape threw his twelve awakening.
36:11Transformations.
36:12His body expanded dramatically.
36:14Tong Reni and Taoist Closed Mountain both faltered slightly at the sight.
36:19Though Duan Renly had informed them of this transformation, the overwhelming aura still shocked them.
36:25Tong Reni immediately stowed the antiquated gray book and shouted at.
36:29Taoist Closed Mountain to act.
36:31Taoist Closed Mountain regained focus.
36:34With a grim expression, he formed rapid hand seals and chanted.
36:38Countless strange golden runes surged from his body, accompanied by dazzling golden light.
36:43By now the golden warriors exceeded ten thousand.
36:47Boundless yellow mist surged upward, reinforcing the ropes further.
36:51Even in his giant golden ape form, the ropes showed no signs of breaking.
36:55The ape roared thunderously.
36:57Cracks and pops echoed from its body as its muscles swelled massively.
37:01Its fur hardened like steel needles and stood upright.
37:04Its body expanded to over three hundred feet.
37:07Yet the ropes expanded simultaneously, thickening with flashes of yellow light and continuing to bind him.
37:14Then the ape shrank back below two hundred feet.
37:16The ropes shrank with it.
37:18No matter how he adjusted his size, the ropes adapted perfectly, as though custom-made for him.
37:25Duan Renli laughed, calling Hanli delusional for attempting escape.
37:29Tong Renna urged Taoist Closed Mountain to proceed immediately.
37:33Taoist Closed Mountain swept his sleeve, releasing golden light into the sky above.
37:38Hanli.
37:39It revealed itself as an antiquated azure scroll.
37:42He pointed at it.
37:43A beam of golden radiance shot into the scroll.
37:47The scroll unfurled mid-air amid azure light.
37:50Golden brilliance erupted from its surface, and a small golden nascent soul projection emerged,
37:55resembling an elderly man in an ochre Taoist robe with a purple lotus crown.
38:00Similar to Taoist Clear Bright, Taoist Closed Mountain continued chanting.
38:05Golden runes poured from the scroll into the nascent soul.
38:08The nascent soul elongated and transformed into a giant golden sword over one, hundred feet long.
38:16The blade was engraved with countless golden runes.
38:19Circles of runes revolved around it, and it emitted terrifying fluctuations.
38:24Tong Renni and Duan Renli exchanged shocked glances.
38:27The giant golden ape looked up.
38:30Six enormous blue lights appeared on its chest and abdomen.
38:33It clenched its fists and strained to raise its arms.
38:36The ropes glowed brightly and tightened further, yet could not fully suppress him.
38:41Slowly, he dragged his arms upward.
38:44Don Renli shouted urgently.
38:46Tong Renni, pale-faced, formed seals rapidly.
38:49The yellow badge spun faster.
38:51The warriors shone brighter.
38:53More mist rose.
38:54The ropes constricted violently.
38:57The ape shuddered.
38:58Its arms were forced back down.
39:01Taoist Closed Mountain completed his incantation and roared triumphantly.
39:05The giant golden sword descended like a streak of blazing light.
39:09It tore through space, leaving gray spatial rifts behind.
39:13The air shimmered and warped.
39:15Even the clouds were displaced.
39:17The strange birds caught beneath it disintegrated instantly.
39:21The ape was completely bound.
39:23At that critical moment, it raised its head and roared.
39:25Brilliant golden radiance erupted.
39:28Golden scales covered its body.
39:30An azure horn emerged on its head.
39:32As the sword descended, the ape angled its head so the horn faced upward.
39:36A world-shaking explosion erupted.
39:38The sword's tip struck the azure horn.
39:41All golden light from the sword shattered instantly into countless specks.
39:45Space trembled violently.
39:47Dozens of gray rifts appeared and vanished.
39:49All golden warriors within a thousand-foot radius exploded.
39:53The sword bent impossibly and was blasted backward.
39:56The giant golden ape merely trembled slightly before reverting to Han Li's original form.
40:02Completely unharmed, Taoist-closed mountains shouted in disbelief.
40:07Tong René and Dwan Renly stared with mouths slightly open, stunned beyond words.
40:12High in the sky, the giant golden sword that had just been repelled trembled violently as golden light flashed.
40:19Erratically across its surface, it was blasted backward for over one thousand feet before finally stabilizing.
40:26Taoist-closed mountain had not yet reacted when the circles of runes engraved on the sword began glowing intensely again.
40:34Dazzling golden radiance erupted outward as the sword descended once more toward.
40:38The giant golden ape, this time with even greater ferocity and destructive force than before,
40:45because a large number of golden warriors had been destroyed in the previous collision.
40:49The yellow ropes binding the ape loosened slightly.
40:53Taking advantage of this, the ape twisted its massive body and directly faced the incoming sword.
40:59Suddenly it inhaled deeply.
41:01Its enormous chest expanded like a balloon.
41:04Blue light flashed within its eyes.
41:06It then opened its cavernous mouth and unleashed an earth-shattering roar.
41:11Transparent sound waves, visible to the naked eye, surged upward into the sky.
41:16The space above instantly warped and twisted.
41:19It collapsed inward by over one hundred feet,
41:22forming a crater-like distortion in mid-air, as though struck by a meteor.
41:26Everything in the surrounding region became blurry and unstable.
41:30This was not an ordinary roar.
41:31It was the Vajra roar, a unique ability that Hanley could only unleash while in his giant mountain ape form.
41:39As a sound wave technique powered by his current physical body,
41:42it possessed the terrifying capability of shattering space itself.
41:47Another thunderous explosion rang out as the descending golden sword plunged directly into the expanding sound waves.
41:54However, instead of cutting through, it was abruptly halted.
41:57It trembled violently, unable to advance further.
42:00As the sound waves continued pressing forward, cracking sounds echoed repeatedly.
42:05The dazzling golden light emitted by the sword fractured like a shattered mirror.
42:09A slight bulge appeared on the blade's surface.
42:12From within it, the face of an elderly man identical to Taoist clear-bright emerged.
42:18Thin cracks began spreading across the sword's body.
42:20Within moments, the entire blade shattered into, countless fragments and dissolved into, an immense expanse of golden light.
42:29Although the description was lengthy, all of this occurred within a single instant.
42:33Amid a flash of golden radiance, Taoist clear-bright's nascent soul projection reappeared mid-air,
42:40though noticeably dimmer than before.
42:42Alarm filled its expression, as it immediately fled toward the hovering, scroll, and disappeared inside it.
42:49At almost the same moment, a long gash opened on the giant golden ape's glabella.
42:54A massive black demonic eye emerged.
42:57The Law Destruction Eye.
42:59Capable of piercing through space itself, a thin black thread of light shot outward and vanished.
43:05In the next instant, that thread reappeared beside the antiquated scroll and pierced directly,
43:11into the nascent soul projection that had just re-emerged.
43:14The nascent soul projection exploded, instantly in a burst of golden light amid a pained wail.
43:20Immediately afterward, the scroll ignited and burned to ashes.
43:24Tong Reni's expression changed drastically as he recognized the ability.
43:28He exclaimed in shock that it was the Law Destruction Eye.
43:32This treasure had been bestowed by the immortal patriarch of the Origin Realm Temple.
43:36Not only was the artifact destroyed, but the nascent soul projection within it had been annihilated.
43:42Dwan Reni's face turned grim.
43:45Taoist closed mountain felt fear well up in his heart.
43:48He did not even have time to mourn the loss of the treasure bestowed upon him.
43:53Instead, he was already considering whether escape was necessary.
43:56Before he could decide, the situation deteriorated further.
44:00Silver light flashed around the giant golden ape.
44:02Massive bursts of silver, flames erupted from its fur, enveloping its entire body.
44:09Yellow smoke began rising as the yellow ropes binding it started,
44:13melting and snapping under the intense silver flames.
44:16After breaking free, the ape pounded its chest and rolled across the ground to extinguish the flames.
44:22However, instead of flames, countless arcs of silver lightning replaced them.
44:26From within the lightning emerged a gigantic silver bird over 100 feet long.
44:31Its feathers resembled forged steel and its talons curved like hooks.
44:36Its appearance closely resembled the true spirit Kun Peng.
44:39This was another transformation of the Twelve.
44:42Awakening Transformations
44:43The Lightning Bird
44:45Tong Reni's expression shifted to alarm.
44:48He accelerated his hand seals.
44:50The yellow badge spun frantically as yellow mists surged upward,
44:54attempting to ensnare the lightning bird again.
44:57Duan Renli switched seals as well.
44:59The golden warriors produced from the gourd now converged toward the lightning bird.
45:04Instead of reinforcing the array, however, with a single flap of its wings,
45:09the lightning bird transformed into a gust of silver wind and vanished,
45:13effortlessly evading ropes and warriors alike.
45:16Before the three cultivators could react,
45:18a bolt of silver lightning flashed across the sky.
45:22The lightning bird reappeared,
45:23directly above the giant yellow gourd,
45:26and seized it with its talons.
45:27Light flashed.
45:29Both the bird and the gourd shrank simultaneously.
45:33Moments later, Han Li returned to human form,
45:36holding a one-foot-tall yellow gourd in his hands.
45:39Daoist Closed Mountain's heart sank.
45:41He immediately declared that they were no match for Han Li and must flee.
45:45He transformed into a streak of golden light and sped away.
45:48Tong Reni and Duan Renli followed without hesitation,
45:52abandoning even the yellow badge in their haste.
45:55Han Li inspected the gourd briefly.
45:57Azure light appeared over his palm as he wiped his hand across its surface.
46:01The golden runes engraved upon it blurred and were completely erased.
46:05At that same moment, every golden warrior,
46:09whether standing in formation or charging, collapsed as though lifeless.
46:13They reverted into countless yellow beans.
46:15The massive array disintegrated instantly.
46:18Han Li stowed the gourd away and looked toward the fleeing trio with a cold smile.
46:23Silver lightning flashed as he transformed into the lightning bird,
46:28again and vanished with a single wingbeat.
46:30Duan Renli was fleeing desperately, but he was not at peak condition.
46:34Controlling the gourd and thousands of golden,
46:37Dao warriors had severely drained his magic power.
46:41He was significantly slower than...
46:43Tong Reni and Daoist closed Mountain and had already fallen far behind.
46:47As despair crept into his heart, a buzzing sound erupted beside him.
46:51Spatial fluctuations appeared within one thousand feet above him.
46:55Silver lightning manifested and a pair of enormous talons extended from thin air.
47:00Arcs of lightning swirled around them,
47:02forming a massive circular lightning net that descended upon him.
47:07Duan Renli reacted instantly.
47:09Crimson light erupted from his body as he released a miniature crimson flag.
47:12The flag expanded to ten feet tall.
47:15Crimson light surged from it,
47:17generating gore-filled wind and blood mist that formed a vast,
47:21crimson cloud around him.
47:23Before he could act further,
47:24the lightning bird appeared above and folded its wings,
47:28tightly before plunging into the crimson.
47:30Cloud like a falling asteroid.
47:32Rumbling thunder echoed as silver lightning tore through the cloud.
47:35The crimson cloud split apart.
47:37The lightning bird emerged from the other side,
47:40clutching Duan Renli in its talons.
47:42Duan Renli struggled violently.
47:44Black blood poured from his seven orifices.
47:47The lightning bird spoke in a thunderous voice,
47:50stating that it had spared him previously to avoid trouble,
47:54but that his foolishness had left no choice but death.
47:57Lightning converged into the talons.
47:59With a final scream,
48:01half of Duan Renli's body exploded in silver radiance.
48:04A dark red nascent soul fled from the ruined corpse,
48:08but it was immediately struck by lightning and erased from existence.
48:12Thus ended the life of a grand ascension.
48:15Cultivator who had dominated the spirit domain,
48:17realm for tens of thousands of years,
48:20no trace remained.
48:21The entire execution had taken mere seconds.
48:24Tong Renli and Taoist closed mountain were already far away,
48:28making no attempt to assist him.
48:30Meanwhile, in the inner city of Blackwater City,
48:33Taoist Clear Bright and Laman Bone Flame were conversing while drinking tea.
48:37Their discussion had shifted toward cultivation insights when
48:40Taoist Clear Bright suddenly paled and spat out blood.
48:44Laman Bone Flame urgently asked what had happened.
48:47Taoist Clear Bright replied grimly that the spirit-nascent sword talisman
48:52he had sent to the spirit domain,
48:54realm had been destroyed.
48:56Laman Bone Flame was stunned.
48:58That talisman contained power comparable to...
49:01Taoist Clear Bright's full-strength strike.
49:04Even he would not dare confront it directly.
49:07Combined with the golden Tao warriors,
49:09failure seemed impossible.
49:11Taoist Clear Bright said nothing further,
49:14maintaining a steely, dark expression.
49:16In this episode, we learn that true growth requires
49:19pushing beyond safe limits,
49:21but every breakthrough
49:23creates ripples in the world around you.
49:26Power attracts attention, and attention attracts danger.
49:29It also shows a critical cultivation principle.
49:32The stronger one becomes physically,
49:34the harder it is to control that strength.
49:37Refinement is not just about power,
49:39but precision.
49:40This chapter highlights
49:42how powerful individuals inevitably
49:44become the center of calculated conspiracies.
49:47It also demonstrates that true danger
49:49often comes not during visible confrontation,
49:52but during preparation and isolation.
49:54Most importantly,
49:55it shows that in cultivation,
49:57sensing subtle,
49:59changes in one's environment
50:00can mean the difference between survival and annihilation.
50:04We also learn how overwhelming force
50:06often hides behind calm preparation.
50:08It also shows that true power
50:10is not only personal cultivation,
50:12but resources, planning, and alliances.
50:15Most importantly,
50:17it highlights that strength
50:18must be paired with awareness,
50:20because while Han Lee fights openly,
50:22his true enemies operate from above,
50:25unseen, and calculating.
50:26This segment demonstrates layered suppression,
50:29strategy versus raw cultivation supremacy,
50:32the three Grand Ascension cultivators
50:34combined formation arrays,
50:36artifact amplification,
50:38mass-energy convergence,
50:39and nascent soul weaponization,
50:41a textbook,
50:42example of coordinated,
50:44high-level cultivation warfare.
50:45Yet Han Lee counters through adaptability,
50:48transformation techniques,
50:50body cultivation supremacy,
50:51and ultimate defensive evolution,
50:54azure horn manifestation.
50:56The key lesson,
50:57absolute suppression requires
50:59perfect power scaling,
51:01and if even one defensive,
51:03breakthrough exceeds calculations,
51:05the entire strategic structure collapses.
51:08This section demonstrates
51:09escalation of cultivation,
51:11warfare to its highest conceptual level,
51:14sound wave spatial destruction,
51:15vajra roar,
51:16law-based ocular techniques,
51:19law-destruction eye,
51:21multi-form true spirit transformations,
51:23lightning bird,
51:25and artifact suppression arrays.
51:27The key lesson is strategic hierarchy.
51:29Once Han Lee destroyed the core artifact,
51:32Gord,
51:32the entire formation system collapsed instantly.
51:35In high-level cultivation combat,
51:38destroying the control mechanism
51:40is more decisive than eliminating individual attackers.
51:43Additionally,
51:45speed,
51:45superiority,
51:46and transformation adaptability
51:47turned retreat into execution.
51:49This shows the importance of layered techniques
51:52and mobility dominance
51:53in advanced cultivation realms.
51:55That wraps up our chapter explanation
51:58of a mortal journey to immortality.
52:01Immortal realm.
52:02Han Lee's part reminds us that
52:05God comes gradually,
52:07and wisdom in decision-making
52:09is just as vital as strength.
52:12Every challenge he faces
52:14shows the value of strategy,
52:17passion,
52:17and learning from experience.
