Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

As the fiery wind soared into the sky, a cry of the phoenix swept across the mountain of blades and soared high.

Its momentum was like a rainbow, its form majestic, its power like a prison!

This was the second time Qiao Po and the others had witnessed this Dharma Aspect.

The first time they encountered it, the four of them had attacked together, but they couldn’t affect this Dharma Aspect in the slightest.

Therefore, the moment the Dharma Aspect appeared, Qiao Po and the others looked grim.

”Don’t give him a chance, attack with all your might.”

With Qiao Po’s shout, the four of them halted.

The mountain of blades, the cauldron of boiling oil, and the Nether River all arrived at once.

The mighty mountain transformed into countless blades.

Ghostly souls wept within the Nether River.

While the cauldron of oil rolled with scorching heat.

Meanwhile, Qiao Po wielded a ghostly realm to charge at the Fire Phoenix, casting endless shadows.

In an instant, the flames flickered and spread, and the Fire Phoenix Dharma Aspect trembled incessantly.

”Can he hold on?”

The old Taoist was a bit worried for Han Yu, seeing him carry the burden of the mountain of blades, stepping on the Nether River, with the cauldron of oil constantly crashing down, and the shadows binding Han Yu’s feet.

Han Yu nodded silently with a grim face, holding his breath as his Sea of Consciousness surged more fiercely.

Suddenly, the flames flared up intensely!

Screech~

The Dharma Aspect emitted a fierce phoenix cry.

In the blink of an eye!

The mountain of blades was engulfed in blazing flames.

The Nether River seemed like oil boiling over fire.

Han Yu fiercely smashed away the cauldron of oil and broke the shadows.

”If only your Dharma Aspect didn’t have such terrifying flaws.”

For a moment, even the old Taoist couldn’t help but stare, voicing his admiration.

He had seen the initial flaws clearly; although he hadn’t experienced it himself, such pain was definitely more than just burning.

Even he couldn’t withstand the temperature from Han Yu; it’s conceivable that Han Yu’s internal organs were likely being incinerated.

Yet, he now saw the true power of the Dharma Aspect.

What was Han Yu doing? He was single-handedly destroying the Dharma Aspect of the four adversaries.

What does this mean?

It means that in terms of Dharma Aspect, Han Yu’s Fire Phoenix is powerful enough to crush the combined effort of the four.

”Given a bit more time to advance further, you could easily kill these four.”

At the moment the old Taoist asserted, the mountain of blades dissolved, the Nether River dried up, the cauldron of oil was thrown out of sight, and the shadows had long been burned away by the flames.

”Go! Come back and take revenge when you’ve grown stronger.”

Seeing this, the old Taoist quickly urged.

”Don’t drag it out too long with them, our Sea of Consciousness’s power is limited.”

The Artifact Spirit was similarly reminding him.

Han Yu could only cast a distant glance at the four, then the Dharma Aspect stretched out and transformed into a massive stream of light.

The old Taoist actually got it wrong. During this clash, he had already faintly sensed the possibility of killing those individuals.

It may not have to wait until the future; as long as he dared to risk his life, those guys would have to die here.

Unfortunately, the power of the Sea of Consciousness was not enough to sustain the fight, so he ultimately had to use the remaining power to quickly return and seek Qi Fortune to extend his life.

Screech~

The cry of the phoenix echoed across the sky, taking Han Yu and the old Taoist to vanish beyond the Western Territory.

Qiao Po and the four others dared not pursue!

From the moment Han Yu broke their Dharma Aspect, they were somewhat scared.

How long has it been, and this kid has grown stronger?

For a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat silent.

”What should we do now?”

The one asking was Zui Rong, the burly man, who was now frowning in distress.

They had failed to kill Su Xiaoxiao and had suffered losses in troops.

Here too, they had suffered a setback and could not even kill a native of the Central Continent.

It makes one feel that perhaps their group was too incompetent.

It seems he was not alone in this thought, as the morale of the four was visibly low.

”Let’s go back first!”

Qiao Po sighed heavily, her heart troubled, and waved her hand to release the stone bridge.

Han Yu had already traveled a hundred miles, and his speed was increasing.

The boiling of the Sea of Consciousness only intensified, worrying the Artifact Spirit greatly.

The imbalance of the Divine Techniques had a significant flaw, as Han Yu had just broken the Dharma Aspect of the four and unleashed a burst of energy, the fire and wood combined, like oil cooking over a roaring fire, continuously enhancing the power of the Divine Techniques.

It was frightening that there was no way to control it independently; his power could only rise, never retract.

This was truly because Han Yu’s life was so cheap... I mean, tough!

Anyone else would have already perished without a trace.

”Do you know how serious your situation is right now?”

The Artifact Spirit spoke anxiously.

The Sea of Consciousness was constantly boiling, and the power consumption was increasing, leaving Han Yu with less and less time.

More importantly, the physical burden on Han Yu’s body was also becoming heavier, and this was the most severe issue.

”Faster!”

At this point, all it could do was urge Han Yu to move as quickly as possible.

In the Central Continent, after the celestial phenomena changed, a group of people all went into the sea.

The entire New Sea Stone City was deserted, eerily silent.

Even the Wood Spirit, who was hiding in the back mountain, abandoned its physical form and followed the cultivators from the Central Continent into the sea.

Without its physical form, it might not necessarily die.

But if it was gone, it would be truly gone.

Although heaven and earth may eventually give birth to a new one, it would not be the same.

It’s worth mentioning that there was a Spirit Body accompanying the Wood Spirit.

A red duck!

Yes, it was the unruly Fire Spirit.

The two Spirit Bodies were quite chatty, though others could hardly understand them.

How did the quacking Wood Spirit manage to communicate successfully with the squawking Fire Spirit?

”Can your Spirit Body leave your physical form for long distances?”

The Wood Spirit asked curiously.

It knew of the Fire Spirit’s situation; how did a spirit from the Southern Border appear across such great distances here?

”Certainly not, it was those crafty artisans who brought the old duck’s body over.”

The Fire Spirit shook its tail back and forth, full of discontent.

As for the artisans it mentioned, the Wood Spirit guessed it was referring to the Mo Family.

But what puzzled it more was why they brought the Fire Spirit here.

To keep it company?

Definitely not.

The Fire Spirit became even more unhappy at this point, quacking in its distinct drake voice.

”They said they brought the old duck’s body to chip off some stones, using the leftovers to find the Earth Spirit.”

”But they have chipped away a quarter of the old duck.”

No wonder the Fire Spirit was so angry.

To the extent that it wanted to peck the elders of the Nine Sects to a bloody pulp whenever it saw them.

Because the lousy idea was proposed by those old guys.

After all, they initially found the Fire Spirit using the Wood Spirit’s leftovers.

Only at that time, they used minimal leftovers, but this time they wanted to involve more people in the search, so naturally, it required a larger amount, thus bringing calamity to the Fire Spirit.

Another person plagued by trouble was Ling Wuce; Quan Xiaotong dumped all the affairs here onto him while he secluded himself on a ship, forbidding anyone from disturbing him.

Of course, Ling Wuce understood Quan Xiaotong’s eagerness to locate the array eye.

Yet, he was truly overwhelmed and the pressure was enormous.

The group here now included not only the original Fifth Tower but also the Nine Sects, as well as major sects in the Cultivator Realm.

Managing a hundred people was doable, but dealing with such a large number, he genuinely lost his way.

While he was in distress, a cultivator hurriedly reported.

”There’s a huge commotion over the Eastern Territory!”

What commotion?

Before the cultivator could elaborate, a phoenix’s cry resonated.

Ling Wuce immediately stood up; if he was not mistaken, this was Han Yu’s divine technique.

Han Yu had returned!

This cry was not only heard by him but by others as well; soon, figures emerged from the water and gathered together.

Looking up at the sky, they saw a massive Fire Phoenix flickering, as if it might dissolve at any moment.

Faintly visible inside were two figures, one being Han Yu, the other obviously the old Taoist.

After observing for a while, they noticed the Fire Phoenix hovering, without descending.

The group looked at each other, not understanding what Han Yu intended to do.

”Something seems wrong.”

Ling Wuce said with a tense expression.

Indeed, something was wrong, because Han Yu was enduring the pain of having his last bit of strength exhausted, gritting his teeth.

It’s not that he didn’t want to descend, but he couldn’t.

This was the third time his Sea of Consciousness had been drained, and because he hadn’t completely recovered, his condition was even worse.

Now, beyond the physical agony of disintegration, even his thoughts were becoming scattered.

Afraid of dying unclear after fainting, Han Yu mustered his last ounce of strength to speak to the old Taoist.

”Whatever happens later, bury the Inquiry Stone with me.”

After saying this, the force within his Sea of Consciousness was finally completely exhausted; with his head tilted sideways, he slipped into unconsciousness as if finding relief.
