Chapter 677: Corpses
About half a month later.
Han Li's figures flew above a sparkling lake.
The two figures stood in the air, their eyes looking ahead at the same time, and their brows furrowed.
I saw that the void there was broken again, cut into pieces by countless dense spatial cracks, and even the lake below was cut in half, and the edge was blocked by an invisible barrier, erecting a high wall of water.
At the other end of these spatial cracks, there are pieces of land of different sizes suspended, and huge peaks hanging alone, on which there are white jade palaces closely distributed, but most of them have signs of damage, and some have even collapsed half of the mountain walls, but they can still be seen in the prosperity of the past.
Han Li looked at the suspended mountain peaks and the white square, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling of déjà vu rise in his heart, and just as he was secretly coming out of his mind, he heard the Flame Immortal Venerable suddenly speak:
"Li Daoyou, it seems that we can't get through the front, we are afraid that we will have to find another way. ”
"Fellow Flame Daoist, what was that land originally, do you remember?" Han Li didn't answer him, but instead said.
"It seems to be the two-life palace of Master Mu Yan, and it is also the most important place in the entire sect except for the Ancestor Mantra Palace. Now the whole space is shattered and chaotic, is it ...... I can't say for sure. Hearing this, the Flame Immortal Venerable was slightly stunned, looked over there for a moment, and said hesitantly.
When Han Li heard this, he had already confirmed in his heart that this was the place where he had witnessed the destruction of the Shingon Gate by traveling through time and space, and it was also the place where he hid his corpse.
"Since it's a critical place, we have to go and take a look, what if the Great Five Elements Illusory World Technique is hidden here?" Han Li said after pondering for a moment.
"That being said, it's no longer here. Let's look elsewhere, maybe there is a way to get through. Heat Immortal Venerable said with some hesitation.
"There's no need to be so troublesome, although the spatial cracks here are dense, it's not completely without a passage, look over there, isn't there still a passage that connects to the land over there?" Hearing this, Han Li's gaze swept up again, and after checking it for a moment, he shook his head and pointed in one direction and said.
The Hot Fire Immortal Venerable looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that at the edge of the lake hundreds of zhang away, there was a water column extending outward, like a water bridge, connecting to a piece of land more than ten miles away.
"Li Daoyou, aren't you joking? That stream of water is surrounded by spatial rifts on all sides, and it will be swallowed up if you are not careful. Besides, the end of it was also cut off by a spatial barrier, and it didn't really connect to that area, even if we could walk through it safely, it would be a dead end, so why take this risk in vain?" Hearing this, the Flame Immortal Venerable asked with some puzzlement.
"The danger is naturally to be taken, and if you look for another way at this moment, you may not be able to find it, and secondly, it will be too delayed, so it is better to go from here. Han Li's gaze condensed slightly, and he said slowly.
He had successfully crossed different lands through this method before, and he felt somewhat confident in his heart.
Seeing his expression, the Flame Immortal Venerable knew that persuasion was useless, and after thinking about it for a while, he didn't say anything against it, but there was still a little hesitation in his gaze when he looked at Han Li.
"We'll sneak through the water for a while, and when we get to the edge, I'll find a way to open the spatial barrier, and we'll go through it in one go. Han Li admonished.
"Li Daoyou, are you really sure that you can break the barrier and let us pass through without affecting the spatial rift?"
"The space barrier here is many times weaker than the Outer Immortal Realm, it is not difficult to break through, as long as we are fast enough, we are at least seventy percent sure. The corners of Han Li's mouth twitched, revealing a smile, and said.
"This ......" Heat Fire Immortal Venerable was a little speechless when he heard this.
However, at this point, he could only follow Han Li to gamble on this one.
As soon as the two of them were ready to stop, they flew down into the lake below, swimming forward from the waterway like two fish, heading straight for the continent opposite.
After entering the waterway, the hearts of the two of them began to rise to their throats, their speed slowed down extremely slowly, and the fluctuations of their spiritual power around their bodies were also suppressed to the extreme, for fear that pulling the spatial rift would cause a catastrophe, almost like two ordinary people with mortal bodies, slowly swimming forward.
In just a distance of more than ten miles, it took the two of them more than an hour to arrive.
As he approached the barrier, Han Li's eyes flashed with purple light, his palm flipped, and he took out the emerald gourd, tilted the gourd and aimed it in front of him, then turned his head to look at the Flame Immortal Venerable, reminding him to get ready in his heart.
Then, I saw a pinch of the magic trick in his hand, and slapped it heavily towards the bottom of the gourd, and a sky-high green light suddenly bloomed at the mouth of the gourd, and a thunderous sound came from inside.
Immediately after, a green bamboo bee cloud sword burst out from the green vortex at the mouth of the gourd, turning into an almost vague green sword shadow, instantly piercing into the spatial barrier in front of it.
"Boom"
A violent roar came, and the spatial barrier had not yet been broken, but the lake in the waterway was violently agitated by the impact of this momentum, rolling up two strong waves and slapping to the sides.
And the surrounding space seemed to be torn apart by this huge force, and the already fragile balance was instantly broken, and several spatial cracks around it immediately expanded, eating away at the surrounding lake and pressing towards Han Li and the others.
Seeing this, the Flame Immortal Venerable's expression suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly summoned the golden ancient mirror and urged it with all his might.
I saw a large area of golden light gushing out, stretching out a golden area around Han Li and the others, causing the expansion of the surrounding spatial rift to slow down a lot, but it did not completely stagnate.
At this moment, the sound of "boom" above the space barrier in front of him disappeared, and then a cracking sound of "click" sounded, and as soon as the green bamboo bee cloud sword pierced, a space passage that was only half a person high suddenly appeared.
Han Li's eyes flashed, and his big hand grabbed the collar of the Flame Immortal Venerable, and his body straightened, passing through the passage in an instant.
After passing through, Han Li did not stop, but after recalling the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword with one hand, he continued to sweep forward for more than a thousand zhang before he stopped his body and looked back over there.
I saw that the spatial passage that they poked out was still open, and it was not immediately closed, and the waterway inside had been completely engulfed by the spatial crack, and there were wisps of black cracks extending into the mouth of the passage.
Fortunately, the rifts that extended in were only small to the smallest ones, and they were not enough to expand the passage.
After a few moments, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the opening of the passage was slowly closing and finally closing completely.
"Thanks to the Heat Fire Dao Friend for resisting that moment......" He put away the Xuantian gourd, looked at the Heat Immortal Venerable with a smile, and said.
"I can see it, Li Daoyou, it is no accident that you have this ability and endless treasures. The Flame Immortal Venerable was still palpitating at this time, his face was a little pale, and he smiled bitterly.
"Heat Dao friends are serious, it's just the right time. Han Li said with a smile.
After resting for a while, the two walked along the white square strewn with stones, and soon saw the ruins of a palace covering an extremely large area.
Unlike the ruins seen before, most of the palaces here have serious signs of burning, and many of the remaining palace walls show signs of masonry being melted by the flames, but there is not a single corpse, which seems to have been burned to the ground.
"I was not mistaken, this is indeed the remains of the Palace of Two Lives. Originally, most of the affairs of the sect were handled by Master Mu Yan, so his Liangsheng Palace was also the busiest place in the sect, but now it seemed to be the most damaged. After a moment's wandering gaze, the Flame Immortal Venerable sighed and said.
Han Li vaguely remembered that when he witnessed the Great War back then, Time Dao Ancestor's earth-shattering blow was indeed not too far away from here, and it was expected that the center of the battlefield back then should not be far from here, so it was not surprising that this place was seriously damaged.
Coming to the vicinity of the palace, Han Li looked left and right, carefully searching for the information remaining in his memory.
After a while, his gaze fell on a scattered pile of bricks and stones raised from a high grave, and he stopped.
Then, a purple glow lit up in his eyes, and he looked over closely.
Seeing this, the Flame Immortal Venerable also stopped, waiting for him to find something.
"Fellow Flame Daoist, there seems to be something ...... under this mound," Han Li said with a pretended muse.
"Is there something? Could it be a hidden dungeon?" asked the Flame Immortal Venerable, raising his eyebrows.
"Not quite like ...... Dig in and see. Han Li said.
With that, the light on the two of them lit up, and they dug deep under the mound.
After a long time, the two figures flew out of the ground and landed on the ground.
Han Li was empty-handed, and behind the Fire Immortal Venerable, he was carrying a corpse.
Wearing a tattered yellow robe for a year, he was tall and thin, with straw-like yellow hair on his head, and his skin was furrowed and ravine, like a tree man of the wood spirit alien race, it was Mu Yan!
Compared to the Mu Yan that Han Li saw when he crossed back then, the corpse at this time was almost the same as before, except that the yellow robe was decayed, and the color of his body was getting drier and drier, looking like a piece of dead wood that had been exposed to the sun for many days.
"Li Daoyou's spiritual powers are really powerful, and it is unbelievable that Master Mu Yan's body is buried so deep that he can still detect it. The Hot Fire Immortal Venerable straightened the clothes on the corpse and spoke.
Han Li said in his heart, if he hadn't known that there were corpses hidden here, with the suppression of the power of divine consciousness in this ruins, he would not have been able to discover Mu Yan's body that had been buried deep underground by him back then.
"For some reason, when I arrived here, I suddenly felt a sense in my heart, and subconsciously probed there. Han Li pretended to be dazed and said.
"In this way, it is fate. Heat Immortal Venerable said.
"How about it, the Great Five Elements Illusory World Recipe can be on Mu Yan's senior?" Han Li knew that it was impossible, but he still asked.
"Naturally, it can't be on Uncle Mu Yan, but it's a little possible to hide it in his two-life palace. The Flame Immortal Venerable glanced at the palace in the far distance, which had completely collapsed, and said.
With that, he picked up Mu Yan's corpse again and rushed towards the main hall with Han Li.
In the badly damaged hall, all the wooden structures are gone, and the remaining broken masonry walls have been burned and melted to the point that they can hardly survive.
The Flame Immortal Venerable came to the half-brick wall at the apse, raised his hand to sweep away the ashes and dust on the wall, revealing a strange pattern like the annual rings of trees, and said in surprise: "There is really a ......"
Seeing Han Li's puzzled expression, he explained, "This is the seal of the secret room, there was also one in Master's Flowing Fire Palace before, but I didn't expect that Master Uncle also had it here, and even the location was exactly the same. ”
"Is the relationship between the two of them very good?" Han Li asked with a slight gaze, as if casually.
"Well...... Master Mu Yan has a hot temper, and in fact, he is the most difficult to deal with my master. However, this is only compared to several other uncles, in terms of friendship with the same family, it is still very good. Heat Immortal Venerable said.
Han Li nodded silently and didn't say anything more.
The Hot Fire Immortal Venerable picked up one of the palms of Mu Yan's corpse, pressed it on the annual ring mark, and instilled the immortal spirit power in his body, and saw that on Mu Yan's dry and gray palm, a touch of blue light lit up, as if the dead wood had recovered some color in spring.
Soon, the blue light on the mark of that year ring was flourishing, and a one-man tall cyan light gate was propped up from it.
Seeing this, the Flame Immortal Venerable stopped the infusion of immortal spiritual power, and the dead wood palm immediately returned to the color of dry ash.
Then, he glanced back at Han Li and motioned for him to follow him, then carried Mu Yan's remains on his back and stepped into the light gate.
Han Li hesitated slightly, then followed closely behind and walked into the light gate.
After a moment of dazzle, the figures of the two appeared in a huge underground palace.
