Chapter 462: Astonishment

Chapter 462: Astonishment

After a brief moment of contemplation, Han Li decided to fly back toward the Immortal Palace instead of continuing to flee.

He didn't want to waste the limited time that he had, and he wanted to confirm some things.

Firstly, he wanted to see if he could figure out exactly how the Infernal Frost Immortal Palace had met its demise. After all, he was still trapped in the ruins of the Infernal Frost Immortal Palace and didn't know how to get out.

Secondly, he wanted to find out why the Reincarnation Palace had attacked the Immortal Palace. At the moment, he was a Reincarnation Disciple, so knowing more about the Reincarnation Palace certainly couldn't hurt.

Thirdly, he wanted to observe all of these spirit domains at a closer proximity.

He had actually already come into contact with a spirit domain back in the Spirit Realm, but that had only been a Profound Heavenly Spirit Domain unleashed by Bao Hua, which was really only just a faux spirit domain unleashed with the help of a Profound Heavenly Treasure. [1]

After arriving in the Immortal Realm, Han Li had spent some time searching for information pertaining to spirit domains, but opportunities to personally witness spirit domains had proven to be very few and far in between, so he naturally didn't want to pass up this prime opportunity.

This nascent soul was quite powerful to begin with, and following the injection of Han Li's spiritual sense, its speed had been enhanced by severalfold, so it didn't take long before Han Li arrived near the battlefield.

At this point, a decent number of the Time Dao Runes on his Mantra Treasured Axis had already faded.

Not far in front of him was an enormous yellow spherical light barrier, and even without entering it, Han Li could already sense a burst of tremendous earth-attribute energy fluctuations emanating from it.

Through the light barrier, Han Li could clearly see that all of the trees and buildings in the area encompassed within the light barrier had been crushed under some type of tremendous force.

He could also just barely make out some cultivators in the extremely far distance, and all of them were doing everything in their power to oppose this force, but it was clear that they were fighting a losing battle, and they were so severely restricted that they could only fly at a very slow pace several dozen feet above the ground.

The other side of this light barrier overlapped with a silver spirit domain, within which were countless streaks of bright sword qi that were severely ravaging the space encompassed within the spirit domain. Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

Further away in the distance, there were spirit domains that were even larger and brighter, and each of them had their own unique properties.

Han Li was completely flabbergasted by what he was seeing, and he was wondering if he should venture into the spirit domain directly before him when he heard a thunderous roar ring out from extremely far away.

A burst of formidable soundwaves pierced straight into his mind without encountering any resistance, and it was like a giant blade threatening to cleave his soul apart.

Han L's consciousness was instantly plunged into a state of extreme turbulence and disarray, and he felt as if his spiritual sense were about to fall apart, causing him to involuntarily fall out of the sky.

However, right at this moment, his Spirit Refinement Technique was activated on its own, and a layer of black light instantly spread over his consciousness to protect it.

In the instant before Han Li plummeted into the ground, his spiritual sense was finally stabilized again, and a stunned look appeared on his face as he hurriedly flew upward again to regain his elevation.

He turned to the direction where the roar had come from to find that most of the spirit domains there had already been broken. It was unclear whether they had been directly broken by that roar or if the spirit sense of the cultivators who had unleashed those spirit domains had been destroyed, thereby resulting in the disintegration of their spirit domains.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Han Li turned back to the same direction in which he had previously been fleeing and flew away even faster than before.

......

Finally, Han Li reached the seabed, then pierced a hand straight into the seabed's rocky surface to create a deep hole. After that, he tossed the storage bracelet into the hole, then lifted a huge rock before placing it over the hole.

Before Han Li had a chance to verify whether the opening of the hole had been properly sealed, the final Time Dao Rune was snuffed out, and a vortex abruptly appeared right next to him.

Another burst of sharp pain speared through his mind, following which his spiritual sense returned to his body.

Han Li looked on as the wall of light before him gradually faded, and he continued to recollect what he had just witnessed with a contemplative look on his face.

Only after some time had passed did he sweep a sleeve through the air, and all three of his time law threads emerged, having been reduced to a dull and lusterless state, and they returned to his Mantra Treasured Axis at his behest.

Immediately thereafter, the Mantra Treasured Axis also vanished into his body.

Han Li rose to his feet before sweeping a sleeve through the air once again, and a new azure robe appeared over his boy. He then summoned a white jade hairpin and briefly arranged his own hair before securing it with his hairpin.

Right at this moment, Daoist Xie flew over from afar before landing beside him.

"Congratulations on making such an important breakthrough, Fellow Daoist Han," Daoist Xie said as it cupped its fist in a salute.

"Thank you for keeping a lookout for me all this time, Brother Xie," Han Li replied with a smile.

"There's no need to thank me, my fate is directly intertwined with yours. Now that you've reached the Golden Immortal Stage, I'm sure your Mantra Treasured Axis will have made a full recovery. Should we go and take another look at that dream concealment restriction?" Daoist Xie suggested.

Han Li smiled as he replied, "My thoughts exactly..."

However, his voice then abruptly cut off as he recalled that all of the Time Dao Runes on his Mantra Treasured Axis had been snuffed out again.

"Is there something wrong?" Daoist Xie asked.

A wry smile appeared on Han Li's face, but he shook his head as he replied, "No, let's go take a look at the restriction."

Thus, the two of them arrived in the abandoned garden once again, and everything remained much the same compared with during their last visit.

Han Li strode over the stone platform and carefully examined it with his spiritual sense. Immediately thereafter, his Mantra Treasured Axis appeared behind him, and sure enough, all of the Time Dao Runes on its surface were dull and devoid of luster.

He made a hand seal with both hands, and a beam of golden light shot out of the Eye of Truth at the center of the axis before striking the center of the stone platform.

A layer of light emerged over the stone platform, but it quickly faded, and nothing else happened aside from that.

"I guess I shouldn't be surprised," Han Li murmured to himself with af aint sigh.

A thought then occurred to him, and his three time law threads flew out of his Mantra Treasured Axis at his behest before flying straight into the stone platform.

All of a sudden, the entire stone platform began to glow with dazzling golden radiance, and the golden light instantly spread in all directions like a complex system of tree branches, extending all the way to beyond the forest in which the stone platform was situated.
