The crab Daoist walked along the overgrown path, walked to a strange rock shaped like a rickety old ape, and suddenly stopped, pointed at it and said, "Han Daoyou, you might as well take a look, what is this?"

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly, and he stepped forward quickly, raised his hand and wiped a handful on the strange stone, and looked at it carefully for a moment.

"Isn't that ...... Turning Stones?" His brow furrowed even tighter, a little uncertain.

"Yes, that's it. The crab man nodded and said.

"It's no wonder that when my divine sense was probing, I couldn't find any formation fluctuations here, it turned out that they were all covered by this desolate stone. I just couldn't imagine that the effect of this thing to cover the aura of the formation was so strong?" Han Li said thoughtfully.

"If it's just these desolate stones, of course, it's not enough for you to be undetectable by Han Daoyou. The Crab Dao Man glanced at Han Li and said.

"Is there any other way that can't be done?" Han Li's eyes flashed slightly as he asked.

The Crab Dao Man didn't speak, leading Han Li to continue walking towards the depths of the dense forest, and finally the two of them came to a relatively open glade.

When Han Li walked in, he found that the clearing was charred black, the low bushes that had originally grown had been burned to ashes by the flames, and a circular stone platform the size of a millstone was exposed on the ground.

The surface of the stone platform was also scorched black by the flames, and the runic patterns that were originally engraved on it became blurred and unrecognizable.

Han Li's sleeve robe rolled up, and a wisp of fresh wind swept by, sweeping away the ashes and dust on the stone platform, and swept it aside, revealing the whole picture of the entire stone platform again.

"What is this?" Han Li leaned over to take a look, his brow furrowed into a pimple.

I saw that on the stone platform, there were nine strange runes engraved like petals, which were put together like a huge dream flower, and in the texture of its petals, there were many complex and secret special runes.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is a very advanced dream hidden rune, which can mask the aura fluctuations of many magic weapons and magic circles, and after cooperating with the desolate stone, it will hardly be detected by the divine sense. The crab man explained.

"Since Crab Daoist knows about this tattoo, he must already have a way to crack it?" Han Li asked with a slight raise of his eyebrows.

"Han Daoyou, please look at the central ...... of this epiphany pattern" Facing Han Li's question, the Crab Daoist replied noncommittally.

Han Li looked over and saw that there was a blank space, there was nothing at all, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he looked at the Crab Dao Man in confusion.

"It was the place where the Epiphany was located, but somehow it was destroyed and could no longer be recognized. The crab man said slowly.

When Han Li heard this, he took a closer look and found that there were indeed traces of vandalism there.

"Now that you've identified the origin of this pattern, even if it's damaged, it shouldn't be a big deal, we just need to follow the law to crack it, could it be that there is something strange about this pattern?" Han Li thought for a moment and spoke.

"Han Daoyou, have you ever heard of the saying 'Three Thousand Great Dreams'? The reason why this rune is called Dream Hidden is because it is rich in types and varied. This blank place, if there is a rune change in the pattern, the method of cracking the entire circle will be completely different, even if I have a memory of it, I don't know all the ways to crack it, even if I want to try one by one, I can't do it. The crab man shook his head and said.

"If that's the case, then you can only break the law with force and destroy it completely. Han Li pondered for a moment before saying.

"This ...... Han Daoyou, you might as well give it a try. The crab man's eyes flashed slightly and said.

Seeing that his expression was a little strange, Han Li knew that it must not be that simple, but he still had a change of heart, and the golden light around him flashed, and he directly turned into a mountain giant ape that was more than ten feet high.

The mysteries on his body lit up, and he let out a low cry from his mouth, raised one arm, clenched a huge fist, and slammed down on the stone platform.

Just listen to a loud "boom"!

The entire stone platform shook, and a golden arc of light surged up, turning into a hurricane and striking in all directions.

The sand and rocks flew everywhere it passed, and the trees collapsed and spread for hundreds of zhang before the momentum gradually stopped.

At the same time, the dream rune pattern on the stone platform also suddenly lit up with a golden light, and the golden lines like vines spread along the stone platform, extending into the depths of the dense forest like a spider web.

Han Li had turned into a giant ape at this moment, his natural vision was broad, and he could see extremely far, and he found that the entire city outside the garden was lit up with golden veins, and the vine-like lines actually covered the entire secret realm, looking gorgeous and dazzling, with a unique scenery.

"According to my estimates, if you want to break the ban here with external forces, you need at least the strength of the Golden Immortal Realm. Even if I hit it with all my might, I couldn't do it. After a little silence, the crab man said.

"Even if you can do it, I'm afraid you can't do it. The runes here are connected to the entire secret space, and once they are destroyed by violence, we are afraid that the entire secret realm will collapse, and none of us can predict what will happen at that time. Han Li's body flashed, and his body retracted, returning to its original state.

"Exactly. The crab man nodded and said.

Han Li frowned and walked around the stone platform, seeing that the golden light on it had dissipated, his heart suddenly moved.

I saw that his hands pinched the magic trick, and the golden light immediately gushed out behind him, and the Treasure Wheel of Truth appeared.

As soon as his gaze turned, the huge golden eyeballs on the Truth Treasure Wheel also slowly rotated, hitting the stone platform with a golden light that was like substance.

As the golden light fell, the entire stone platform flashed, and the scorched black marks on the surface suddenly dissipated, becoming clean as new.

And the blank space in the center of it also lit up with a hazy light, and wisps of lines gradually emerged, like stamens, complex and abnormal.

When Han Li was about to take a closer look, the light and shadow in the blank space fluttered rapidly, becoming very unstable.

After looking at it for a moment, Han Li felt dizzy for a while, and his heart was shocked, so he had no choice but to retract the Truth Treasure Wheel into his body.

"How?" asked the crab man.

"This space is really strange, many ordinary things, although they contain the power of the law of time, are extremely weak, every time I use the real eye to probe, the result is blurry, useless, this stone platform is no exception. Han Li said with a wry smile.

"Your Truth Treasure Wheel is not at its peak, maybe after its power is fully restored, you will be able to see the full picture of this dream hidden rune......" Hearing this, the crab Dao man said after thinking for a moment.

"What you said, I've thought about it before. It's just that it takes too much time to do this, and the opening time of the Secret Realm of the Dark Cold Immortal Mansion is limited after all, once the exit to the Northern Cold Immortal Realm is closed, the next time it opens, I don't know what year and month it will be?" Han Li said with a deep groan.

The only thing he was worried about at the moment was how to get out of this predicament, of course, once he found a way out, he didn't mind staying here for a while, after all, he didn't know what was going on outside in the past few days after coming in, but he thought that the Qu Ling wouldn't spend a lot of time guarding himself here in vain.

"With your immortal body, the longevity is almost infinite, why worry about time? The strength of the Heaven and Earth Vitality here is no less than that of other places in the Northern Han Immortal Domain, you can cultivate here with peace of mind, and wait until the secret realm is opened next time. The crab man said suddenly.

Hearing what the Crab Dao Man said, Han Li's eyes flashed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

He provoked a behemoth like the Northern Han Immortal Palace before, and his situation was not good, but now he was remembered by Qu Ling again, plus the Feng Tiandu that made him creepy, he was in danger in the Northern Han Immortal Domain.

In contrast, it is safer to stay in this secret realm.

"Having said that, once this Dark Cold Immortal Mansion is closed, no one can predict what will happen in the secret realm. Once the environment deteriorates, I am afraid that the situation will be even worse than that of Shangqu Ling......" Han Li thought about it again and again, still a little worried.

What he didn't say was that if he was really trapped in this secret realm for hundreds of thousands of years, although he might not have anything to do, but the changes in the outside world would probably be earth-shaking, and the golden boy was now under the threat of Qu Ling's daughter, and the blessings and misfortunes were unpredictable, and there were many people he couldn't let go.

"No matter what, there's no way out of here right now. Daoist friends might as well try to restore the treasure wheel supernatural power first, maybe it won't take too long, and it will be enough to see this dream hidden rune clearly. The crab man nodded and said.

"Now, that's the only way to go. Han Li nodded and said.

......

Time flickered, and a few more days passed.

In the center of this ruined small city, a huge square with a radius of hundreds of zhang suddenly appeared.

The central core is paved with white stone slabs, and the perimeter is covered in freshly turned reddish-brown earth, mixed with rubble and fragments of window ridges, apparently freshly leveled.

On the square, there are extremely deep ravines, which are connected with each other, forming a huge magic circle with extremely complex patterns.

This array is called the "Zhou Tian Gathering Star Array", and it is appended to the end of the second half of the Great Zhou Heaven Star Yuan Gong, it is an orthodox magic array to assist in the cultivation of this exercise, it is far from being comparable to the "Star Gathering Array" and the like back then, even if it is a series of star magic arrays that Han Li himself improved later, compared to it, it is still much inferior.

The Zhou Tian Star Gathering Array has a total of 9981 star positions, which are evenly distributed around the circle, and each of them can be inlaid with a Heavenly Star Stone to assist cultivators to absorb the power of the stars more quickly.

Han Li estimated that if he had used this array to cultivate at the beginning, his Great Zhou Heavenly Star Yuan Gong entry time would have been reduced by at least half, but in the same way, he would need to have a sufficient amount of Heavenly Star Stones, and the pain he would have to endure in his subsequent cultivation would be at least twice as much as before.
