Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

”When did you become so abstract?”

The Artifact Spirit found it hard to imagine laughing in such a tense and solemn atmosphere.

After all, what they were doing now could be said to be extremely risky.

But Han Yu’s actions ultimately made it roll on the ground in the Sea of Consciousness, clutching its belly in laughter.

Initially, this guy was obediently placing roots beneath each tree underground, waiting for Ping to slowly steal Qi Fortune.

The time was roughly less than a two-hour period; neither Han Yu nor the Artifact Spirit dared to cause too much disturbance. But as time went by,

Or perhaps it should be said that Han Yu began to lose patience. At this speed, stealing the entire Enlightenment Forest would take forever.

Indeed, Han Yu wasn’t joking; he genuinely planned to rob the Yama Hall in one fell swoop.

The method was a bit bizarre. Now, he was grabbing onto seven or eight Enlightenment Tree roots simultaneously, pulling and wrapping them around himself. At this moment, his whole body was tightly bound, as if he was constrained against his will.

And Han Yu, in this state, could only reveal his head, looking extremely amusing.

The Artifact Spirit was still clutching its belly, rolling and laughing non-stop.

Han Yu ignored it with a darkened expression; he felt no shame in striving for Qi Fortune.

If it weren’t for wanting a faster pace, he wouldn’t have turned himself into such a spectacle.

But on second thought, Han Yu’s change of method hadn’t altered the absorption speed, but the efficiency had suddenly multiplied seven or eight times.

From absorbing one tree every half a two-hour period to seven or eight trees.

If given enough time, robbing this whole batch of Qi Fortune shouldn’t be too challenging.

”No, it’s a big problem.”

The Artifact Spirit quickly spoke up; it feared Han Yu might get carried away and hastily reminded him.

”If Qi Fortune is lost excessively all of a sudden, the cultivators can sense it too.”

Back in the small world of the Celestial Dao Sect, wasn’t it the theft of the Inquiry Stone that alerted the cultivators?

The same logic applies now; although such a plethora of Enlightenment Trees might not notice anything, if Han Yu took too much Qi Fortune, it would definitely raise the cultivators’ alertness.

It wouldn’t take much; even losing three to four tenths would be enough to alarm this group.

For a moment, Han Yu and the Artifact Spirit sighed helplessly.

”These days, stealing a bit of stuff seems not easy either.”

The human and spirit thought confidently.

However, things seemed to change suddenly. Shortly after, a few figures broke through the void.

Divine Dao Realm?

Han Yu, deep underground, halted his activity of stealing Qi Fortune and carefully sensed.

Unexpectedly, inside were cultivators no less powerful than Soul Reborn.

There were two cultivators who, upon arriving at the place, stood in the air and waved downward.

Spiritual Power surged gently, sweeping lightly through the Enlightenment Forest. Each cultivator woke with startled faces and quickly stood, bowing to the newcomers.

”Come with us.”

The two cultivators spoke coldly, leaving no room for refusal.

Though their intentions were unclear, no one dared to oppose. As the two Divine Dao Realm cultivators departed, streams of light rose to the sky, breaking into the empty space, closely following.

For a moment, the entire Enlightenment Forest area was deserted.

This left Han Yu dumbfounded!

Did happiness come so suddenly?

Did they all leave?

Then this place, is it not entirely up to him to handle?

All that massive Qi Fortune is his!

”Ping, speed up.”

In an instant, Han Yu was full of excitement, gripping seven or eight roots while shouting toward the Sea of Consciousness.

Immediately, Qi Fortune wasn’t flowing through his body, but rather, a stream of heat continuously traveled through his arm, with speed drastically increasing, almost unbelievably fast.

In just a moment, a whole Enlightenment Tree’s Qi Fortune could be absorbed dry. Han Yu moved constantly among them, imitating the pattern endlessly, grabbing roots, almost every few moments enhancing by seven or eight.

If he weren’t a bit sober, Han Yu would have planned to jump out and cut down trees to stash in the Sea of Consciousness.

With his strength, cutting down a whole Enlightenment Forest is easy; collecting them is even more effortless.

The only issue is his exposure, life, and death unknown.

”Wait, someone’s coming.”

The Artifact Spirit suddenly screamed in panic; Han Yu stopped at once. Even the Ping halted the power absorbing.

Only because a middle-aged man dressed in a black scholar’s robe appeared in the forest, without anyone noticing when.

This man’s face was strange, clearly masculine and imposing, yet every gesture gave an extremely chilling feeling.

Especially when he stood still, it seemed as if everything around him was bowing in reverence.

The man remained silent in the forest, and Han Yu naturally did not dare move.

It was apparent he was in the Divine Dao Realm, but it was impossible to discern his exact level.

Suddenly, a flash of insight struck Han Yu’s mind; he couldn’t say why, but he guessed, or rather felt through intuition.

The First Hall!

Simultaneously, the middle-aged man suddenly broke into a smile.

However, the content of his words made Han Yu’s scalp tingle.

”You’re here, little brother!”

Swoosh!

Han Yu dared to bet the person above was definitely speaking to him.

It really seemed that way.

The middle-aged man started to murmur to himself, ”Back when the two places were severed, the Heavenly Dao remained indifferent, yet only acted to seal Qi Fortune. The Supreme once said that Qi Fortune was undoubtedly a hidden force; you thought it went unnoticed, but here everything, including changes in Qi Fortune, has been under scrutiny all along.”

Upon hearing this, Han Yu quietly let down his roots, preparing to escape.

But the middle-aged man continued his self-talk.

”I don’t care how you’ve hidden, but the entrance has already been surrounded by my men.”

Han Yu’s turned back paused, his expression immediately darkened.

”It’s unlikely you’ll escape, come out and chat, I won’t kill you, I can’t kill you either.”

The middle-aged man suddenly sighed, yet Han Yu remained unmoved.

”He might be bluffing.”

The Artifact Spirit quickly reminded him.

”Bluffing my ass, just look at how he’s sealed the entrance and still managed to find us here, he must be quite certain to have discovered us.”

Han Yu spoke with a grim face; he couldn’t fathom why the Yama Hall would be so focused on the Enlightenment Forest.

The First Hall seemed to have mentioned it was exposed due to changes in the Enlightenment Forest’s Qi Fortune.

As for whether to leave, Han Yu was undecided, as it seemed the other person only noticed him because of the changes in the Enlightenment Forest, implying that the concealment effect of Ping was still useful.

Just as Han Yu wanted to continue claiming the advantage was his, the other unexpectedly sneered coldly.

”This place has also been sealed, or rather, after I arrived, the Enlightenment Forest has been arranged; you cannot exit the Enlightenment Forest.”

Han Yu naturally did not believe, after some tunneling, he reached the edge of the Enlightenment Forest, where a special force was blocking him, somewhat akin to the isolating power of a miniature paradise.

Reluctantly, he tried to drill further, but after less than a hundred meters, he was still met with the isolating force hindering him.

Which means, this location might be surrounded on all sides by the seal.

This indeed grasped Han Yu’s weakness; breaking these seals was not difficult for him, breaking them would take just a touch, but doing so would expose his location similarly.

Wherever a break appears, that’s where the person is.

Thus, he was truly trapped.

If the opponent really wanted to capture him, they could simply overturn the ground beneath the Enlightenment Forest.

As if the First Hall could see Han Yu’s anxious expression, he suddenly laughed heartily.

”Better come out obediently! Last time we were halfway through talking, let’s continue.”

Han Yu’s face turned black; last time they talked halfway, he remembered clearly that he managed to trick the opponent, flipping their table while they chatted.

The opponent’s street-roushing tone was still fresh in his memory.

”I’ll go out and see.”

Han Yu suddenly decided.

The Artifact Spirit was genuinely startled, couldn’t help but speak, ”Are you planning to give yourself up?”

Han Yu shook his head; the other had not made a move until now, showing no signs of doing so.

It seems he genuinely wanted to discuss something.

He didn’t think the opponent refrained from attacking because he couldn’t, on the contrary, this made Han Yu more wary.

Because he vaguely felt even if he burst into escape, he wouldn’t be able to get away.

Looking at the opponent’s calm demeanor, he appeared totally unafraid of Han Yu playing tricks.

And the First Hall indeed seemed unafraid of Han Yu escaping, standing with his hands behind his back, smiling as he waited.

After a moment of silence, suddenly, the soil in front of him changed, and Han Yu’s form slowly emerged from the ground...
