Chapter 119 - 121-129

Chapter 121: Chapter 120: First Battle Legend (1/5)

In the short moment when Han Yi turned his head to look around.

A cultivator accidentally obtained a piece of Taixu Order, but before he could even express his joy, countless violent spirit lights fell upon his body, annihilating him directly. The Taixu Order shard seemed to be in a different space, unaffected by any attack.

In this terrifying battle, even seasoned cultivators at the ninth level could not interfere, only those at the Qi Cultivation Peak had a slim chance to obtain the shard.

Han Yi saw Zuo Lie holding a piece of Taixu Order, his face filled with joy, about to put it in his mouth. However, in an instant, a bloody sword light pierced through his chest, and his face was filled with shock and anger as he vanished into nothingness.

A youth with a murderous expression on his face snatched his Taixu Order shard and put it into his bosom, excitement all over his face.

Southern Dipper Divine Palace's Fu You.

Han Yi, who was about to enter the woods, had a thought in his inner heart.

Looking at Zuo Lie's action, could the Taixu Order shard be directly swallowed? What kind of operation was this?

Han Yi did not immediately swallow it, but instead turned around and rushed into the woods. Before he understood more about the Taixu Order, he didn't plan to swallow it. If swallowing it didn't improve his talent, it would be too late for regrets.

In fact.

Since the explosion at the ancestral temple, Han Yi's speed had been extremely fast. His Light Body Technique was not affected by magical tools, and his speed reached its peak, only a bit weaker than that of the two Sword Immortals, but faster than other legendary Qi Cultivators.

By the time Han Yi grabbed the shard and landed, it took him only three breaths to kill a cultivator who attempted to snatch the shard. With his Light Body Technique, he rushed towards the woods, avoiding the others who intended to intercept him, all in less than ten breaths.

When he reached the edge of the woods and looked back, he saw Zuo Lie being killed a kilometer away. It had been less than a minute since the explosion.

Before he turned around, he saw Fu You from Southern Dipper Divine Palace, who had snatched the Taixu Order shard, suddenly raise his head and look towards him.

Han Yi didn't hesitate any longer, turned around, and entered the woods.

At this moment.

Bang!

A terrifying murderous intent fell from the sky, and in an instant, Han Yi felt as if he was immersed in an overwhelming evil atmosphere.

This evil qi was different from the blood and bone spirit flowers' innate evil qi, and belonged to Soldier's Evil Qi.

The so-called Soldier's Evil Qi is the evil qi that is honed from the charge of armies and generals.

This kind of evil qi, although acquired, is more powerful and fierce than the innate evil qi.

A battle flag, shrouded down.

Han Yi instinctively looked up, and as the battle flag appeared in his pupils, it appeared to be less than a foot long. In a fraction of a second, when it was about three meters above his head, it swelled to more than seven meters tall, looking as if it blocked the sky.

A young cultivator, controlling the battle flag, had soaring fighting intent in his eyes. Han Yi seemed to see a magnificent scene of a million soldiers, fearless of life and death, charging into the formations, engulfing mountains and rivers.

Spirit Combat Sect, Legendary Qi Cultivator, Xie Jingshan.

Without a word from Xie Jingshan, the battle flag wrapped around Han Yi, intending to refine him into nothingness with the power of Soldier's Evil Qi. Naturally, the shard of the Taixu Order would fall into his hands.

In the blink of an eye, Han Yi's thoughts shifted, and he already knew that he had been tracked by a legendary Qi Cultivator.

He didn't know why Spirit Combat Sect's Xie Jingshan knew he had a shard of the Taixu Order on him, but now was not the time to think about such things. Instead, he should be thinking about how to escape.

No.

If it were any other legendary cultivator, Han Yi might have been able to escape with his Light Body Technique. But this Spirit Combat Sect cultivator, who could fly with a battle flag, had a speed no slower than the two Sword Immortals in the slightest.

No matter how much he tried to flee, he wouldn't be able to escape.

If that's the case, then let's fight.

Clang!!

A sword light lit up.

The Seven Stars Sword erupted in fury, increasing its speed continuously. As soon as it was activated, it was already close to its extreme speed. The faint red halo had just risen when it collided with the battle flag that had grown to more than seven meters in the wind.

This battle flag was a green flag.

When the green and red collided, the battle flag only paused for a moment before continuing to press down.

As for the mid-tier sword tool Seven Stars Sword, it was silently repelled back.

Crack.

Previously, a tiny crack had appeared in the Seven Stars Sword after killing the Black Demon. At this moment, the crack rapidly expanded.

A fierce glint flashed in Han Yi's eyes.

Divine thoughts surged out and poured into the Seven Stars Sword.

Boom, boom, boom!!

The Seven Stars Sword, propelled forward, darted towards the battle flag with faster speed, and a brilliant light flickered.

Bang!!

Red light filled the sky, the battle flag finally slowed down, trembling violently.

The complexion of the young cultivator standing in mid-air changed slightly.

It wasn't Han Yi's attack that caused his change of expression, but his well-calculated timing; he didn't give Han Yi any time to react. Han Yi, however, was extremely decisive and detonated the Seven Stars Sword to buy himself an extremely short amount of time.

He fiercely swallowed the Taixu Order fragment in his hand, and to his surprise, the Taixu Order fragment disappeared as soon as it entered his mouth, as if what he had just shoved in was just a wisp of air.

Since Zuo Lie could swallow the Taixu Order, he wanted to give it a try too. After all, he couldn't escape facing this legendary Qi Cultivating Cultivator.

"Hmph!"

Xie Jingshan was furious. The blue battle flag rolled up and swept away Han Yi, who had detonated the Seven Stars Sword, suffered from a counter shock, and couldn't speed up and leave in time.

Boom!!

Where the battle flag passed, even mountains and giant trees vanished, leaving only fragments of sword tools falling.

Fu You, who had just pressed Han Yi within a hundred meters and felt that he could take advantage of the situation, saw the battle situation had fallen, and there was no trace of the Taixu Order fragment under the battle flag. He glanced at Xie Jingshan, his face flashed with murderous intent, but now was not the time for personal enmity. He quickly rushed into the woods on the other side, chasing after the Taixu Order fragment.

Xie Jingshan, who was standing in the air, waved his hand gently, and the huge battle flag that covered the sky and blocked the sun suddenly shrank and fell into his hand.

"An unfamiliar Qi Cultivating Cultivator, eighth layer? Interesting."

His anger vanished abruptly, and after putting away the battle flag, he took a quick look around. His eyes showed a hint of killing intent as he turned and rushed quickly towards the depths of the woods.

? ?

Han Yi suddenly opened his eyes. This time, he was much better prepared than the first time. Although his heart throbbed, it was only a fleeting moment before he suppressed it.

The more he died, the more accustomed he became.

Han Yi first examined his own body and found nothing unusual. Then, he raised his head to look at the Facing Reality Imprint floating in midair.

"Huh?"

Han Yi let out a soft sound of surprise because the Facing Reality Imprint had undergone a noticeable change at this moment.

Color.

Previously, the illusory light sphere was constantly changing colors without a fixed form. At this moment, the Facing Reality Imprint displayed only red.

"The only possible explanation is the Taixu Order fragment."

"The complete Taixu Order, like the Facing Reality Imprint, constantly changes color, but when the Taixu Order shattered and fell into my hands, it became a solid object with a fixed color of red."

"After I died, the Facing Reality Imprint also settled in red. There must be a direct connection."

Han Yi's thoughts shifted, and the Facing Reality Imprint instantly transformed into a Taixu body. Then, his divine soul transferred, and Han Yi examined everything from the perspective of the Taixu body but still found nothing.

"Forget it, once I enter Cave Heaven, I'll find the original tribal sorcerer and naturally know the truth."

"What a pity for my two sword tools and the new one I just obtained."

"However, obtaining the Taixu Order fragment in this trip is a big gain."

Han Yi briefly summed up, and his understanding of the Cave Heaven world grew deeper. Then, he took out a sword tool from his storage bag; this was the second mid-grade sword tool. In his storage bag, there were originally only two mid-grade sword tools; one was the Seven Stars Sword that had exploded in the Cave Heaven world last time, and this was the second one, called the Rosy Clouds Sword.

Carrying the sword tool, Han Yi turned around and walked into the light gate, disappearing into the Taixu Illusionary Realm..

Chapter 122: Chapter 121: Divine Soul Binding (2/5)

The space before his eyes changed, and this time, Han Yi remained alert just as before, but there were no unexpected incidents like the first time he arrived. This time, he still landed in the Chi Mang Tribe.

At the moment Han Yi appeared, a cultivator appeared seven meters beside him. He understood from his previous visit that this sudden appearance indicated a cultivator from the Yu Heng World, descending from the Taixu Illusionary Realm.

This newly appeared cultivator merely glanced at Han Yi, his face cold and indifferent, and his body shrouded in a murderous aura. He went straight towards the central stone house of the Chi Mang Tribe where the witch was staying.

Han Yi didn't make himself unwelcome and did not approach to greet him.

This time.

Han Yi didn't rush to find the witch. Instead, he began strolling around the Chi Mang Tribe.

The Chi Mang Tribe was not small, occupying a small valley. On the flat ground of the valley, stone houses were built in an irregular manner.

As Han Yi walked along, he saw hundreds of people from the primitive tribe. These people, dressed in primitive animal skins, had countless mysterious and strange runes painted on their bodies, regardless of whether they were adults or children. Most of the runes were grayish-white, located on their arms, chests, faces, and necks. They looked very primitive and ancient.

He stopped at the edge of what appeared to be a training ground and observed as about thirty adult tribesmen were training.

Their training methods were also primitive, lifting giant stones, swinging stone pillars, and wielding stone clubs.

However, these stone weapons were not made of ordinary stones. They looked to be made of extraordinary materials, only the outer appearance and color resembled that of ordinary stones.

Han Yi recalled the six-meter-tall Black Demon Clan chieftain he had seen outside the Cang Clan ancestral temple, whose weapon was a stone axe. Consequently, he became interested in these stone weapons.

"Daoist Han, do you find their training methods interesting?"

A familiar figure emerged from about twenty meters away and walked closer.

White Jade Tower, Zuo Lie.

Han Yi nodded. These weapons definitely had their merits, and if he could acquire them, they would surely enhance his combat capabilities.

But, he had seen too many cultivators from the Cultivation World in the Cang Clan, and the weapons they used were from the Cultivation World. They didn't have any weapons from this world, which made it apparent that there must be some unknown reason behind it.

"The Facing Reality Heavenly Realm is a small Thousand Worlds with incomplete rules, and this place is still in a state similar to the ancient times of the Yu Heng World."

"The human tribes here are organized by their tribes, and they worship the primitive Witch Gods. Have you noticed the strange runes on their bodies? These runes transform their physical bodies, allowing them to possess the power of the Witch Gods inside."

"This is the main reason why the primitive tribes could survive in the savage society of different races."

At that very moment.

Standing on the training ground, a tribesman only about 1.7 meters tall bellowed, and a few grayish-white runes on his body lit up. With one punch, he shattered a giant stone over three meters tall, and the fragments exploded in all directions. Han Yi gently swiped and formed a dense wind barrier in front of him.

Pu, Pu, Pu!

Stone fragments, like bullets, burst against his wind barrier. Several pieces even broke through the barrier and fell at his feet.

Han Yi was shocked.

This punch's power was only slightly weaker than those three-meter-tall Black Demons from the Black Demon Clan, and its strength was at least at the early stage of the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.

So strong.

Han Yi's eyes lit up.

Zuo Lie, who was standing beside Han Yi, understood his thoughts. In fact, every arrival into Cave Heaven World had more or less similar ideas – to learn the Witchcraft of strengthening their physical bodies from the Cave Heaven world. However, they have all been proven that it's impossible to walk this path.

"Daoist Han, don't think too much about it. This kind of witchcraft is only effective in the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm. When in Yu Heng World, it's completely useless, like doodles."

"Besides, after learning this witchcraft, one would be assimilated and return to Yu Heng World. Their original cultivation could potentially decline and they would suffer more loss than gain. You must not attempt it."

Han Yi withdrew his gaze, thinking that it made sense. If it were really possible to learn, it would already be widespread in Yu Heng World.

He turned around: "Fellow Daoist Zuo, I saw you almost swallowed the Taixu Order fragment in the Cang Clan. Can the Taixu Order actually be taken?"

Han Yi's Facing Reality Imprint turned red, wanting to find out the secret behind it.

Seeing Han Yi mention this, Zuo Lie's face turned pale and resembled a cold-faced deity in an instant.

"That damned Fu You, once I advance to the legend realm and exchange for a magic artifact, I'll make him pay."

"Huff!"

Zuo Lie suppressed his anger and then didn't directly answer Han Yi's question: "Fellow Daoist Han, are you really only at Qi-Refining Eighth Level?"

Han Yi nodded earnestly; he was indeed genuinely at the Qi-Refining Eighth Level. However, he knew what Zuo Lie wanted to ask.

"Yes, I'm indeed at Qi-Refining Eighth Level, but my magic skills are a bit special, and I can exceed the limits of my realm."

Zuo Lie suddenly understood, feeling that this was the only possibility. At this time, he finally answered Han Yi's question:

"It seems you don't know much about the Cave Heaven World."

"The Taixu Order is a manifestation of the rules of the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm, and its appearance has a certain logic."

"When someone from a different race in a region breaks through a realm that they shouldn't have, Taixu would manifest and descend in different regions. After killing the Different Race, the Taixu would vanish, and the Taixu Order contained within would shatter."

"Once the broken Taixu Order is swallowed, it will bind with one's Facing Reality Imprint. When the Taixu body is condensed and the divine soul descends, a cultivator's…"

At this point, Zuo Lie's face showed regret: "Perception."

"Perception? 1 heard it could improve a cultivator's talent, isn't it?" Han Yi was puzzled.

"Yes, it's true. The improvement is in perception."

"The Taixu Order is a manifestation of the rules of Facing Reality Heavenly Realm. After swallowing it directly, it integrates with the divine soul, improving its perception."

"As for what Daoist Han mentioned about talent, simply swallowing the Taixu Order will not achieve that, but it can be exchanged with the witches of the Primitive Tribe for spiritual items that can improve talent."

"However, Daoist Han, you don't even have a storage bag. Even if you exchange it for such spiritual items, you wouldn't be able to get them out. If you can't get them out, your main body will not be able to take them. If you directly consume them in the Cave Heaven World, only the Taixu body's talent will be improved. Once you leave or meet your demise, the next time, the replicated Taixu body's talent will return to its original state."

Han Yi suddenly understood. Simply put, the shattered Taixu Order was bound to the divine soul, so Han Yi could digest it using the Taixu body. As for the spiritual items that affected talent, their effect could only be realized if applied to the body. Therefore, the spiritual items must be brought to the outside world for the main body to consume.

If consumed by the Taixu body, it would only affect the Taixu body. If they died with the Taixu body in the Cave Heaven World, a new Taixu body would still return to their original talent upon returning to the Taixu Illusionary Realm, regardless of the spiritual items consumed by the Taixu body.

In the end, Han Yi was missing a Facing Reality Imprint.

"Fellow Daoist Zuo, do you have a Facing Reality Imprint for sale?" Han Yi stared intently at Zuo Lie.

Zuo Lie shook his head: "No, Facing Reality Imprints are extremely precious. Only major sects are willing to buy them. I also got two Facing Reality Imprints because I made significant contributions within the sect."

"Speaking of which, if anyone in the Cave Heaven World has Facing Reality Imprints, it is definitely the witches. In their mouths, they call the Facing Reality Imprints: Origin Qi."

"However, the price of Facing Reality Imprints in the Cave Heaven World is even more expensive, no less than the Taixu Order fragments. Fellow Daoist, I am afraid it would be hard for you to buy them from the witches.."

Chapter 123: Chapter 122: A Ruthless Person (3/5)

Han Yi frowned, suddenly thinking of something.

"If the Taixu Order fragment has already been swallowed and bound to the divine soul, can it still be taken out?"

Zuo Lie's face suddenly stiffened.

"Daoist Han, you have quite a novel idea. Normally, once someone uses a Taixu Order fragment to increase their comprehension, how could they possibly spit it back out?

"This question… I've never really thought about it myself. However, if we ask the witch, we should find out."

That's right, what Han Yi had just thought of was extracting the Taixu Order fragment from his Divine Soul.

Comprehension?

What did he need comprehension for? The Proficiency Panel would give him comprehension, and it could be infinitely improved.

If it's based strictly on comprehension, Han Yi believed that with the help of the Proficiency Panel, no one in the Cultivation World could compare to him.

This was his self-confidence, and also his confidence in the Proficiency Panel.

If it could be extracted, he would definitely do so.

Then, he would bring a storage bag inside, and try to snatch up the Taixu Order fragments to purchase spiritual items that could enhance his root bones.

Moreover, once he leaves the Taixu Illusionary Realm, he could sell the Facing Reality Imprint. This one imprint is absolutely priceless, or perhaps he could keep it for himself, and snatch up another spot the next time he comes.

Actually, if the witch could extract the Taixu Order fragment, Han Yi had also considered selling it to the witch in exchange for spiritual items to enhance his root bones, which he could then entrust to an acquaintance to bring out of the Cave Heaven.

For instance, An Xin from the Azure Dragon Peak who he met earlier in the Seven Cang Tribes. During the fight, Han Yi saw that he had brought in a magic tool. He suspected that An Xin had somehow brought his storage bag inside too.

In this case, if Han Yi entrusted the spiritual items to him, then once they left the Cave Heaven world and returned to the Yu Heng World, he could get the items back from him.

He had only considered this method for a moment before discarding it.

In the face of such earth-shattering spiritual items, human nature is difficult to resist.

So, Han Yi was left with two choices: either use the Taixu Order fragment to directly improve his comprehension, or somehow obtain a storage bag, and then follow through with other plans.

Since comprehension was of no use to him, he naturally chose the second option.

Observing Han Yi's changing expression, Zuo Lie's gaze suddenly shifted.

"Daoist Han, don't tell me you actually managed to snatch a Taixu Order?"

Of course, the look in his eyes wasn't dangerous, but rather, it was filled with shock.

You said you're at the eighth level of Qi Cultivation with strong skills and proficient in body techniques, running faster than me. Fine, I'll accept that. But you also said you snatched a fragment? Is there any justice left in this world?

"Let's go find the witch. Once we do, you'll find out."

Han Yi didn't hesitate for a moment and quickly ran towards the stone house where the witch resided.

Arriving at the stone house, Han Yi saw several cultivators waiting. When they saw Han Yi, their faces were cold and indifferent, but when they saw Zuo Lie following him, their expressions changed, and they nodded in greeting.

Han Yi showed no emotion and found a place to sit cross-legged while waiting.

After half an hour, people emerged from the house one after another, with varying expressions of joy, regret, or excitement, but there were no violent incidents.

"Daoist Zuo, I wonder how powerful the tribal witch actually is. Why hasn't anyone tried to forcefully snatch their items?" Han Yi's eyes flickered with a dangerous light.

If he could, he would definitely take action to seize both the Facing Reality Imprint and the spiritual items that could improve his root bones.

However, looking at the cultivators outside the stone house, they were lining up without any intention of using force. Moreover, if force was truly an option, these witches from the original tribes would have long been exterminated.

Upon hearing Han Yi's words, Zuo Lie's face changed.

"Daoist Han, you must not do something foolish! Absolutely not!"

"One of the rules of the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm is that the descendents can trade with the original tribes, but conflict is not allowed. Once a conflict occurs, a cultivator's Facing Reality Imprint will shatter, their divine soul will return to the Taixu Illusionary Realm, and the Imprint inside the Taixu Illusionary Realm will disappear without a trace."

"This would be the outcome of self-destruction."

Before now, Han Yi had always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this Cave Heaven World.

This familiarity grew stronger and stronger until this moment when Zuo Lie explained why conflicts with witches were forbidden, and it finally surfaced.

Han Yi suddenly realized.

The mechanism of this Cave Heaven World was very similar to the online games he played in his previous life.

The cultivators, or descendents, were like players.

Primitive tribes and different races are NPCs, the Taixu beams are treasure chests. When treasure chests appear, everyone pushes and breaks them. Once they burst open, revealing valuable items like Taixu Order fragments, numerous players scramble to take them. After grabbing the items, they can upgrade their own comprehension and trade with NPCs.

If you beat up NPCs, you'll be announced to the entire server and might even have your account canceled.

Isn't this a typical online game mode?

Han Yi began to suspect that the powerful figure who transformed this Cave Heaven world, Yujing Mountain, came from another time and place just like him.

In a short while, it was Han Yi's turn. Zuo Lie accompanied him in, and Han Yi didn't mind.

Seeing the Witch God, Han Yi found that although his face looked old, he had a smile on his lips. Han Yi was very familiar with this kind of smile. It reminded him of He Fangwei's smile from the Nine Dragons Shop – the smile of a merchant.

Before Han Yi could speak, the Witch God stared at him with a slight fire in his eyes, which quickly turned into regret.

"What a waste, such a waste. A large chunk of Origin Qi has been ruined. Unbelievable."

Han Yi wasn't angry, and at this point, he only saw the Witch God as an NPC.

"Witch God, I want to extract the Taixu Order fragment from my Divine Soul and exchange it with you for a piece of Origin Qi."

Zuo Lie, who was standing next to Han Yi, couldn't stop the envy in his eyes. When Han Yi went straight to this place, Zuo Lie knew that Han Yi must have gotten the Taixu Order fragment.

He didn't know whether it was good luck or skill, but Zuo Lie guessed it was the latter. At that time, Han Yi's speed surpassed his own, penetrating into the core area. If his strength had been inferior, he would have been killed long ago instead of obtaining the Taixu Order fragment.

Now, he found this Daoist even more incomprehensible.

Coming from an ordinary Golden Core Stage Alchemy Sect in Shu State, he had only reached the eighth level of Qi Cultivation. His knowledge about the rules of the Cave Heaven world was quite lacking. Yet he had incredible speed, even faster than one at the Qi Cultivation Peak. His strength was unknown, but he was clearly not weaker than Zuo Lie. He didn't care about comprehension, but paid great attention to spiritual items that could enhance his constitution.

Having all these traits made a person enigmatic and hard to figure out.

The Witch God did not immediately agree to Han Yi's request. Instead, he formed a hand seal and began mumbling nonstop. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, his eyes suddenly flew open.

Golden light flashed in his ancient pupils.

"The Witch God says it can be done."

Han Yi's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.

Next, the Witch God stood up shakily, took out a disc-shaped stone tool, and approached Han Yi. He pressed the stone tool against Han Yi's forehead. Han Yi had nothing to fear, acting as if the Witch God was just an NPC. There was nothing to be afraid of, considering he wouldn't die.

After more mumbling, just when Han Yi thought there would be some more magical ceremony, the Witch God took back the stone tool. Joy emerged on his withered face.

"Good, good."

Then, he put the stone tool away and took out a stone box from under his feet. With a heartache, he opened the box and took out a gray stone the size of a goose egg, handing it to Han Yi.

"How do I use it?" Han Yi asked, taking the stone. The stone was extremely light and didn't even have a temperature. Had he not seen it himself, Han Yi would not be able to detect the stone's existence through touch alone.

He looked at the Witch God, who closed his eyes as if he couldn't bear to see his treasure being used. Han Yi turned to Zuo Lie, but Zuo Lie shook his head, indicating that he was also encountering this situation for the first time.

"Press it against your forehead," the Witch God's voice came.

Without hesitation, Han Yi pressed the stone against his forehead. As soon as the tangible stone touched him, it melted like a drop of water into a lake, vanishing without a trace or making any waves.

Han Yi let go of his hand and didn't feel any change.

"You may leave now. Next person."

Han Yi wasn't angry. What was there to be angry about with an NPC?

He pulled back the curtain and walked out of the stone house, with Zuo Lie following behind.

"I see now. The Facing Reality Imprint is bound to my Divine Soul, so I can't sense the change in the depths of my Divine Soul through my Qi Cultivation while I'm in this Cave Heaven world. I can't take it out."

"I need to die once and return to the Taixu Illusionary Realm to see the extra Facing Reality Imprint."

"Let's do this."

Before Zuo Lie could respond, Han Yi took off the sword tool from behind him and handed it to Zuo Lie.

"Daoist Zuo, please hold onto this sword tool for me temporarily."

Then, without waiting for Zuo Lie's objection, he slapped himself in the forehead without hesitation.

Bang!

The shattered body dissipated into nothingness, leaving Zuo Lie gaping on the side.

"He's one tough guy!"

Chapter 124: Chapter 123: Yujing Taixu Order (4/5)

This time, Han Yi was more prepared for death, he didn't even feel any pain because it came so swiftly.

And also.

In his heart, he had a new understanding of the death in the Cave Heaven world. It was the resurrection of a player's role.

He opened his eyes, not checking his own situation, but looking at the floating Facing Reality Imprint, and his face lit up with joy.

Last time he got the fragment of Taixu Order, the Facing Reality Imprint, had become a fixed red color, but at this moment, it had returned to a light ball of changing colors, and next to this light ball, another light ball about half its size was floating.

This light ball, apart from the size, had the same shape as the neighboring Facing Reality Imprint.

"Sure enough, there are two Facing Reality Imprints."

"To be exact, one is the Facing Reality Imprint, the other is the Origin Qi, but the essence of both is the same."

Han Yi pulled out another spare empty storage bag from his storage bag, thought for a bit, and put seven wind demon daggers, Shadow Bearing Sword, Spiritual Talisman, and some spirit stones into it.

Then with a thought, the extra small light ball floated towards him, and then landed on the specially prepared storage bag, the light ball disappeared.

The next moment, Han Yi raised his head, the original Facing Reality Imprint instantly transformed into a Taixu body, his divine soul transferred, the Taixu body took over the storage bag, hung it around his waist, and stepped into the light door.

In a blink of an eye, he was in another place, and after making sure of his surroundings, Han Yi lowered his guard. This time he also came to the Chi Mang Tribe, but not the same location as before, only about a kilometer off.

Han Yi didn't rush to go find his way, instead, he looked at the storage bag at his waist, with a move of his divine consciousness, a black long sword fell into his hand.

Shadow Bearing Sword.

Next.

Six daggers appeared one after another, fell around him, floating in the air, like stars guarding the moon, they were guarding Han Yi's side.

Han Yi's face lit up with joy.

These two magical objects finally came in with him. With this, his strength was at least restored to ninety percent, he just lacked the top-grade magical tool, the Golden Light Shuttle, which was a bit regrettable.

And after advancing from the seventh level of Qi Cultivation to the eighth level, Han Yi can control six Wind Demon daggers at the same time, up from the original four. Han Yi brought the seventh dagger in for an emergency.

"In this case, even if 1 run into a legendary Qi Cultivator again, 1 can give it a shot."

Han Yi had a measure in his heart. Each of the legendary cultivators was crowned a legend because each had their own path, holding their own will and belief, even capable of running face to face with the common Foundation Establishment stage.

At this moment.

An obscure voice sounded directly deep in his divine soul.

"The Yujing Order fell in Emperor Demon City!"

Ten words, each as if enough to collapse Han Yi's divine soul under their weight. After the words, he suddenly stood up, his body trembling. It was only a moment later that he completely recovered.

"The Yujing Order?"

"Fell into Emperor Demon City?"

"What's the difference between Taixu Order and Yujing Order?"

"This Emperor Demon City, judging by the name, should be a city built by Emperor Demon, the strongest of the twelve branches of the demon clan."

Previously, Zuo Lie had told him that among the four different races in this world, the demon clan had twelve branches.

Emperor Demon, Blood Demon, Fire Demon, Black Demon, Evil Demon, Giant Demon, Yin Demon, Water Demon, Earth Demon, Golden Demon, Wind Demon, Rock Demon.

Among them, the other eleven branches respect Emperor Demon as the main stem.

The next moment, a figure stepped out of the void and appeared here, his face excited, he rushed towards the stone house where the shaman was.

On the other side of the Chi Mang Tribe, a ferocious voice suddenly erupted.

"Yujing Taixu Order, Yujing Taixu Order, ah, it has not appeared for so many years. This time, 1 am determined to snatch the fragments of the Taixu Order and forge a First-Class Immortal Foundation."

This voice was majestic and vast, causing the void to vibrate continuously. Han Yi was also taken aback.

"Who is this legendary Qi Cultivator? During the time at the ancestral temple of the Black Demon Clan, 1 didn't see this person among the sixteen legendary cultivators."

Han Yi also detected a remark in the voice that just roared 'Yujing Taixu Order' wasn't ordinary. The fact that it was crowned with the words 'Yujing' indicated its special quality because, after all, this Cave Heaven world was owned by the holy land of Yujing Mountain.

Han Yi put away his Wind Demon Dagger, carried the Shadow Bearing Sword on his back, and quickly rushed towards the stone house of the witch.

A moment later.

In front of the witch's stone house, a large crowd gathered, dark and dense.

Han Yi saw Zuo Lie on the periphery, and quickly approached him. When Zuo Lie saw Han Yi, his eyes were filled with excitement.

"Daoist Han, it's a rare opportunity, a once in a millennium opportunity."

"The Yujing Taixu Order! This is the Yujing Taixu Order! An opportunity that comes once every few hundred years. The last time the Yujing Taixu Order appeared, according to the ancient books in the tower, was three hundred years ago. If 1 can obtain a small fragment, with my level of comprehension, I will reach an unprecedented height."

"We must fight for it. We must fight for it."

As a peak Qi cultivator, his current excitement was making him seem less like a composed and calm cultivator, which caught Han Yi off-guard.

He also had such times of excitement. When he first learned that the Blood Bone Spirit Flower could enhance his talent, he was pacing back and forth in his room, unable to sit still.

Han Yi understood this feeling, and at this moment, he was even more curious about the so-called 'Yujing Taixu Order'.

Zuo Lie took a few deep breaths and finally managed to completely calm down.

With Zuo Lie's explanation, Han Yi finally understood what the Yujing Taixu Order was.

It was essentially a type of Taixu Order. However, this special Taixu Order only appeared once every few hundred years, and every time it appeared, it would cause a frenzy among all those who have come.

The Yujing Taixu Order, every time it appears, nine pieces emerge together.

Unlike other Taixu Orders, the Yujing Taixu Order does not shatter. It is the most robust material in this Cave Heaven world.

Moreover, although the Yujing Taixu Order can also be traded with the witch, no one would waste it because, once the Yujing Taixu Order is brought to the external world, it can be handed over to the sacred place of Yujing Mountain in exchange for an opportunity, an opportunity to establish a First-Class Immortal Foundation.

"A First-Class Immortal Foundation?" Han Yi's inner heart trembled fiercely.

When a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator advances to the Foundation Establishment stage, they initiate the Immortal Path Foundation Building. The quality of the Immortal Foundation established will greatly affect the later cultivation, even to the point that most Nascent Soul Stage cultivators establish a First-Class Immortal Foundation when building the Immortal Path Foundation.

Han Yi hadn't expected that the Taixu Order this time would be so special, indeed beyond his expectations.

However, he was not as excited as others.

To him, it was still too early to consider the Immortal Path Foundation Building, and even if he got the Yujing Taixu Order, it would be impossible for him to bring it out to Yujing Mountain to exchange for an opportunity to build a First-Class Immortal Foundation.

You should know that he is currently at the eighth level of Qi Cultivation. Even if his speed increases, it is impossible to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage without ten years. And if he owns the opportunity to establish a First-Class Immortal Foundation and the news leaks out, then the Blood God Sect, which is hostile to Xuandan Sect, will absolutely dispatch stronger cultivators to eradicate him.

Even if he hides in the Xuandan Sect, he can't ensure his safety.

Moreover, it might not only be the Blood God Sect, but other sects in Shu State or Qianzhou might coerce him to give up this opportunity when the time comes, and Xuandan Sect might also not be able to withstand the pressure.

Why put oneself in the hot seat unnecessarily?

Han Yi's thought was simple, whether it was the Yujing Taixu Order or ordinary Taixu Order. If he gets it, he will immediately find the witch of the original tribe and exchange for spiritual items that can improve talent, further strengthening his aptitude, and narrowing the gap with those talented cultivators.

His strength is not bad, but it's not enough yet. He should still keep a low profile..

Chapter 125: Chapter 124: Rule Limitations (5/5)

Zuo Lie returned the sword tool that Han Yi had previously given him and prepared to enter the stone house where the shaman was located.

However, a cultivator had already emerged from the stone house. Holding a map in his hand, he announced loudly, "Fellow Daoists, I have obtained a map of the Emperor Demon City. Shall we form a team and go together?"

"You only need fifty medium-grade spirit stones to ride the Immortal Pavilion's Human Immortal-level Immortal Boat. It's fast and reliable, so you won't have to worry about straying from the route. What's more, we'll have safety in numbers. If we encounter beings of different races, we can join forces to kill them, avoiding the trouble of being killed halfway and having to start over again here."

The cultivator who had come out was a chubby cultivator, a rare physique among cultivators.

Ordinary cultivators, regardless of their realm, had perfect control over their bodies once they reached the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivating. It would be impossible for them to be overweight.

If a Late Stage of Qi Cultivation cultivator is still fat, there could only be two possibilities. One, he did it on purpose. Two, it is a special physique.

However, Han Yi had never heard of any physique characterised by obesity. This left only one possibility – the cultivator intentionally retained his plump figure.

Zuo Lie whispered, "That's Chu Qingguan from the Immortal Pavilion."

"The Immortal Pavilion is a business of Daqian's known to sell all sorts of Immortal treasures. Hence the name."

"It is rumored that the Immortal Pavilion has the support of an emperor's son."

"An emperor's son?" Han Yi was a little confused.

"Emperor's son, a child of the Emperor," Zuo Lie said solemnly.

Han Yi shuddered. The Immortal Pavilion was connected to a son of an emperor of Daqian, which was seriously terrifying.

Han Yi realized this.

"Let's go, we'll go together. Chu Qingguan is right, it's best to form a team to go to Emperor Demon City, and we can also ride the Human Immortal-level Flying Ship of the Immortal Pavilion. From a price perspective, it's not expensive. If I go by myself, there might be various problems, especially if 1 get killed halfway, 1 will regret missing this chance."

"However, while on a team, we should also be on guard against the others. If someone tries to harm us secretly, it's a matter of who has greater abilities." The Yujing Taixu Order is good, but Han Yi hesitated because the difficulty would certainly be higher. According to Zuo Lie, it involved an opportunity concerning the First-Class Immortal Foundation. Numerous legendary Qi cultivators would definitely converge to fight for it.

Therefore, if the Taixu light column descended in the vicinity of the Chi Mang Tribe or other different races, it would be an excellent opportunity for him.

After all, whether it was the Yujing Order or normal Taixu fragment, he intended to sell them to the shaman in exchange for spiritual items that could enhance his physique. Why seek remote gains when there were advantages closer at hand?

But others could definitely also easily spot this loophole.

After asking around, Han Yi discovered something surprising.

During the appearance of the Yujing Order, no Taixu light column would descend in the world, particularly near other tribes. The normalcy would be restored only after the Yujing Order was snatched away.

Simply put,

This was to allow everyone who arrived to join forces and exterminate the strongest tribe in the Heaven Cave World.

Han Yi realized.

Comparing it to a video game, if the mission of capturing a normal Taixu fragment was equated to defeating a small boss, then capturing the Yujing Taixu Order was like killing the final boss of the dungeon.

After understanding this, Han Yi had no choice but to agree to join the party on their journey to the Emperor Demon City.

A moment later, after paying the spirit stones, the two waited nearby. It was the next day when Chu Qingguan notified everyone to set off together.

For this endeavor, he had gathered more than a hundred cultivators. None were Legendary Qi cultivators. Each legendary cultivator chose to travel alone, like lone wolves.

Chu Qingguan took out a miniaturized Immortal Boat from his storage bag, gently tossed it, and the boat grew in the wind, transforming into a gigantic Immortal Boat of over a hundred meters, suspended in mid-air three meters above the ground.

He was the first to jump on the Immortal Boat, followed closely by the others.

Once aboard, Chu Qingguan manoeuvered the Immortal Boat on its journey. Although slow at first, its speed gradually increased and eventually matched the top speed of a Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivator running at full stride.

Upon embarking on the Immortal Boat, Han Yi suddenly surfaced a disconcerting suspicion. He turned to look at Zuo Lie, who was quietly contemplating the vast landscape of the primitive world.

"Daoist Zuo, ever since I entered the Cave Heaven World, I had an uneasy feeling, but 1 couldn't put my finger on it."

"Just now, that unease suddenly resurfaced."

Han Yi's face was not grave, in fact, he speculated that maybe his doubt was simply due to his lack of knowledge about the Cave Heaven World, which, to others who are familiar with it, might not be a concern at all.

"Why are there only Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators in the Cave Heaven World and no Foundation Establishment Stage or Golden Core Stage cultivators?" "Furthermore, the Emperor Demon City we are heading to, which by the name should be the main city of the imperial demons main vein, equivalent to the main city occupied by the most potent Demon Clan in this Cave Heaven World, surely holds even stronger demons. How are we, Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators, not simply heading there to die?"

This doubt had been lingering in Han Yi's mind, but he kept unintentionally pushing it aside. Now that he was aboard the Immortal Boat, heading to the Emperor Demon City, it suddenly came rushing back.

As expected.

Zuo Lie just smiled.

"Daoist Han, you must understand, this place is a transformed Little Thousand World."

"The rules of this world differ from those of our Yu Heng World and the conventional Cultivation World. Besides describing it as transformed, I think two other words more aptly describe it."

"These words are 'constraint'."

"This is a transformed Little Thousand World used for trial, and the trial targets are specifically for those in the Qi Cultivation Stage. Haven't you noticed that all the cultivators we've met are at the Qi Cultivation Stage? There were no Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators."

"That's because this world imposes a constraint on the Foundation Establishment Stage and higher. Those beyond the Foundation Establishment Stage are not allowed in."

"That's the constraint for the Human Clan cultivators."

"There are also constraints for the Different Races. Although, for Different Races, the constraint has to do with size. Take demons, for example, this Cave Heaven World only permits demons to have a maximum body size of ten meters. Once the ten meters limit is reached, there is no chance to break this constraint unless a demon's power surpasses that of the Spirit Transformation Expert controlling the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm. Of course, this is clearly impossible."

Han Yi raised an eyebrow, "Ten meters? When I previously participated in the fight for the Taixu Order between the Black Demon Clan and the Gang Clan, the Clan Chief of the Cang Clan had a demon body of six meters, towering over the Legendary Qi Cultivators. Without the joint attacks by more than ten Legendary Cultivators, anyone who faces him would surely die."

"If there were ten-meter demon bodies, no matter how many Legendary Cultivators there are, it would still not avail."

Han Yi thought Zuo Lie might retort, but surprisingly he nodded in agreement: "Indeed, for some reason, demons with ten-meter bodies have not appeared in thousands of years."

"Nonetheless, Daoist Han, regardless of how strong the demons are, this is the time of the Yujing Taixu Order. It's only to be expected that it's more challenging."

"Ancient texts in the pavilion recorded that three hundred years ago, the Yujing Taixu Order ended up in the Desolate Shadow Mountain Range, the lair of the Shadow Clan. Seven hundred years ago, the Yujing Taixu Order fell into the Ancient Evil Sea, and in a fit of anger, the Ancient Evil Sea was turned upside down. Going further back, every occurrence of the Yujing Taixu Order was connected to the Four Different Races."

"The ancient texts speculate that the aim was to use the Yujing Taixu Order as a lure, utilizing all the Qi Cultivators in the Cave Heaven World, to cut down the mightiest of the Different Races, thereby maintaining the balance in the Cave Heaven World."

"The birth of the Taixu Order follows the same principle. The Taixu beam would only descend upon those Different Races tribes on the verge of breaking through. Those who arrive target the Taixu beam. They kill the strongest members of the Different Race tribe, the Taixu beam shatters, and fragments of the Taixu Order scatter, leading everyone to scramble for them."

"Although the Yujing Taixu Order is of a higher class, the principle remains the same."

"However, regardless of the specifics, having the chance to witness the appearance of the Yujing Taixu Order is an enormous opportunity for us cultivators."

"Daoist Han, the opportunity to witness countless legends converging is upon us."

"Not only are there Legendary Cultivators original to the Cave Heaven World, but at this very moment, in the Daqian Immortal Country, there are certainly more Legendary Cultivators rushing here. This will be an unprecedented grand gathering.."

Chapter 126: Chapter 125: A Game World? (1/5)

From the Chi Mang Tribe to the Emperor Demon City, based on Chu Qingguan's estimates, should take half a month. This is because he has used a Human Immortal-level Flying Ship, which is quicker than the usual peak Qi Cultivation Stage. If one were to travel on land, it would take at least a month to reach Emperor Demon City.

Of course, geographically, the Chi Mang Tribe is relatively in the west, while Emperor Demon City is located in the eastern part of the world. Hence, travelling from the Chi Mang Tribe tends to be quite slower than other tribes.

Han Yi didn't waste time and took this opportunity to sit on the Immortal Ship and cultivate.

During the journey, the Immortal Ship encountered an attack. The attackers were a group of Wing Clan, characterized by their wings, three-eyed faces and grey-brown skin.

The Wing Clan are skilled in the Divine Bow and possess the natural ability to fly, making them tough to handle.

Everyone was mid-air and they could only attack from a distance to repel the Wing Clan, then quickly drive the ship away.

"Among the four different races, the Wing Clan is the most troublesome. Only cultivators like Sword Immortals who can rely on Spirit Swords for flight can take the initiative."

Han Yi was silent, contemplating in his heart how to kill the Wing Clan if he encounters one. Should he use the Sword Control Skill, dagger, or lure them close?

Unresolved.

Time flew quickly, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

The Immortal Ship of the Immortal Pavilion stopped in a forest.

Chu Qingguan retracted the Immortal Ship into his storage bag, and spread out a huge beast skin. Spirit Light flickered and fell into the beast skin, transforming the illustrated mountains and rivers from two-dimensions to three-dimensions.

"Fellow Daoists, look here, we are now in this location." Chu Qingguan pointed to a spot, then pointed to a second spot. "Here is where the Emperor Demon City is located."

"There's less than ten miles between the two, according to the map, there are countless members of the Demon Clan patrolling and guarding this area. The Immortal Ship is too conspicuous and unsafe, so we must go on foot."

"Everyone, our journey ends here. Till we meet again."

Chu Qingguan bowed his hands towards everyone, then flashed away quickly in a certain direction. His seemingly fat body did not hinder his speed, which was of a Peak Qi Cultivation Level.

"Daoist Han, shall we travel together?"

Zuo Lie's gaze flickered, looking at the hundreds of cultivators who were gradually dispersing.

Around half of these cultivators were at the peak of the Qi Cultivation, the others also had a cultivation base at the advanced ninth level.

Han Yi nodded. He felt quite safe walking alone, but with Zuo Lie acting as a guide, there are things he can ask which would be more in line with his interests.

"Let's go."

Zuo Lie 'whooshed' ahead, rushing quickly in a certain direction.

The forest was silent. Beast roars echoed from far and near. Hundreds of cultivators scattered, like fish fry scattered into the ocean, making the possibility of meeting again unlikely.

Moreover, at this point, most people cared about the Emperor Demon City. As for secretly killing other cultivators, although they were interested, they were clearly aware of which was more important between the Emperor Demon City and killing others.

On the way.

Han Yi encountered another group of the Demon Clan, the Earth Demons.

Earth Demons are extremely special, living underground and naturally capable of moving through soil, making them ideally suited for patrol and guard duties. This Earth Demon was over three meters tall and was killed by Zuo Lie and Han Yi after it discovered them.

In front of Zuo Lie, Han Yi no longer hid his skills. There was no point to it. With one Shadow Bearing Sword, he broke through the strong defenses of the Earth Demon's body, piercing its head, giving Zuo Lie a more direct understanding of Han Yi's combat power.

One day later.

Han Yi and Zuo Lie stood on a hill, gazing into the distance.

In the distance, beyond layers of mountain mist, a giant city nestled amongst the mountains. The city was majestic, situated in the mountains yet loftier than them, a sense of vast antiquity enveloped it.

This is a city that has stood since ancient times, it is a witness to the history of the Demon Clan.

Upon seeing this city for the first time, Han Yi was greatly astounded.

If this Cave Heaven world hadn't been transformed, and the Demon Clan restricted by its rules, over a long period of time, this giant city would have certainly birthed earth-shakingly powerful members of the Demon Clan, comparable to Human Clan cultivators at the Spirit Transformation stage.

"Emperor Demon City is the main city of the Demon Clan, with strong members of the twelve Demon Clan cohorts inside. This time, more powerful Demon Clan members could appear, not just those over six meters tall"

"And this time, it's not like last time with the Cang Clan where there were only dozens of Legendary Qi Cultivators. This time there will be multiple times or even ten times the number of Legendary Qi Cultivators."

Zuo Lie's face showed a trace of envy. He was still a small step away from becoming a Legend. He knew how strong cultivators who reached this special realm were.

At the White Jade Tower, the peak of Qi Cultivation holds the true heritage, whereas Legendary Qi Cultivators are already enjoying the position of elders, equal to Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

"Officials from Daqian have made a statistic. Throughout the entire Daqian Immortal Country, Qianzhou, Shu State, 33 counties, two holy lands, three major sects, and countless small and large sects, there are around 130 Legendary Qi Cultivators."

"Of course, these statistics only apply to those within the Daqian Region. Major sects like Sword Cliff are not included in the statistics."

Han Yi was silent.

In fact.

As long as one reaches the advanced ninth level, after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, one has a chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Flowever, the success rate of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage from the advanced ninth level is below 20%.

Generally, cultivators choose to solidify their realm, strengthen their foundation, and break through to the peak of Qi Cultivation before looking for an opportunity to establish their Immortal Path Foundation, unless they have no choice.

The success rate of cultivators at the peak of Qi Cultivation breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage is around 50%.

And for those of the Legendary Qi Cultivation stage, the probability of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage is as high as 80%.

Zuo Lie sat down and closed his eyes to adjust his breath.

Even though the chances were slim, as long as there was even a slight possibility, he would participate and compete for the Yujing Order.

Han Yi stood a few meters away, carrying the Shadow Bearing Sword on his back. He didn't adjust his breath but gazed at the Emperor Demon City with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"It's too similar, really too similar."

"This world is like a game world, we are the players, the indigenous tribes are the NPCs, the Cang Clan are minor bosses, and Emperor Demon City is the final boss."

"Interesting, really interesting."

Han Yi shook his head, even if it was similar, it had nothing to do with him. At the moment, his realm was only at the Qi Cultivation stage. The distance away from a Spirit Transformation Expert who could reshape a Cave Heaven was tops far, so much so that he couldn't even imagine.

After a while.

Han Yi turned to look at a forest several hundred meters away. Three figures emerged from the forest, standing at the edge of the forest, also looking at the Emperor Demon City. One of them even looked in Han Yi's direction. His eyes instantly turned grey, obviously a detection skill more sophisticated than the Qi Observation Skill.

Subsequently, they each retracted their gazes.

After a while, a young man appeared about dozens of meters away from Han Yi and Zuo Lie. Dressed in a blood-colored robe with a cold, indifferent face and intense coldness in his eyes, he scanned the people in the vicinity and sat down to cultivate.

Han Yi's eyes flickered with a faint gold, and then his eyebrows twitched.

This young man was a Legendary Qi Cultivator..

Chapter 127: Chapter 126: Emperor Demon City (2/5)

"It's Rong E from the Ruthless Sect." Zuo Lie opened his eyes, his face solemn, and spoke in a deep voice.

Han Yi's mind went through the information about the Ruthless Sect, and he understood.

Ruthless Sect is a sect in Qianzhou and not on par with the White Jade Tower that has a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse. It is just a sect like the Xuandan Sect and the Blood God Sect, with the strongest members only in the Golden Core Stage.

"Ruthless Sect, Rong E." Han Yi etched the appearance and name in his heart.

Since he and Zuo Lie arrived on the Immortal Boat, Han Yi had come relatively quickly. After they arrived, cultivators began to appear in the surrounding forests, including both lone cultivators and those in groups.

Among them, there were more and more Legendary Qi Cultivation cultivators. Under Zuo Lie's introduction, Han Yi recognized more and more cultivators, especially those Legendary Qi Cultivation ones.

One month later.

Lush forests stretched endlessly into the distance, while the Emperor Demon City in the mountain ranges occasionally echoed with a demon's roar, shaking the forests and leaving no traces of birds and beasts.

Ten people, a hundred people…

In Han Yi's perception, there were hundreds of people, with countless more cultivators outside his perception range on either side, or sitting or standing or just arriving. Each cultivator suppressed their own aura, lest they scare away the prey.

However, everyone knew, no, not just humans, even the Demon Clan in the Emperor Demon City, that a world-shaking battle was about to begin.

The twelve branches of the Demon Clan have been summoned and gathered here.

At some moment.

In the Emperor Demon City, a beam of light suddenly shot towards the sky. The beam of light changed dramatically and its color shifted as it broke through the clouds of the mountain ranges and reached the heavens.

"The Taixu Light Pillar has appeared."

"The Yujing Taixu Order."

"Finally, we've come to this moment."

"Kill!"

At the same time.

At the edge of a cliff, eight cultivators suddenly released their aura, stirring the mist in the mountains. The wind paused for a moment before suddenly increasing.

Han Yi looked on, his heart trembling. These eight cultivators were all Legendary Qi Cultivation cultivators, one of whom was the lady with the gigantic sword he had met in the Cang Clan.

The Saintess of Yujing Mountain.

The lady was not tall, but she dragged a terrifying silver greatsword behind her, seemingly weightless. Wherever the greatsword passed, the hard ground silently cracked open like tofu.

"It's the legendary figure from Yujing Mountain."

"It's starting."

Zuo Lie stood up, his face excited to the extreme.

"All eight of them are?" Han Yi asked doubtfully.

Zuo Lie nodded: "The legendary figures of Yujing Mountain are not limited to these eight. However, in Yujing Mountain, some think highly of themselves and believe they do not need the Yujing Taixu Order to build a First-Class Immortal Foundation. Many other Legendary cultivators are either away or in seclusion. These eight should be the ones who just happen to be available and have rushed here upon hearing the news."

"The disciples of Yujing Mountain who enter the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm also need to spend a certain amount of sect points. However, compared to other cultivators outside, it is much easier."

As he said this, Zuo Lie dismissed the envy from his eyes.

"However, it is still uncertain who the deer will die by."

"Seven hundred years ago, a Yujing Taixu Order was obtained by a predecessor of the White Jade Tower. With this, he built a First-Class Immortal Foundation and advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage. After that, he reached the Golden Core in nine years and the Nascent Soul stage in thirty-seven years. That predecessor is now the Master of the White Cloud Tower."

Han Yi was shocked: "That fast, nine years to reach the Golden Core?"

Zuo Lie nodded: "That's right, nine years to reach the Golden Core. It's not ninety years, it's too terrifying."

"After building a First-Class Immortal Foundation, the Master underwent a transformation and embarked on the ever-lasting Immortal Path."

"So, Daoist Han, this is not only a struggle for the Yujing Taixu Order, but also a struggle for the Immortal Path."

"The battle of the Immortal Path shows no mercy."

Zuo Lie no longer looked at Han Yi. He moved forward, descended the mountain, and his figure flickered as he rushed toward Emperor Demon City.

Not only him, at this moment, from outside the mountain ranges, an endless number of cultivators jumped out of the forests.

Among them, there were those who Han Yi had seen and those he had not, those he knew and those he did not.

Within sight, there were Sword Immortals, battle flags, blood robes, poleaxes, and giant knives…

The murderous intent emerged from the forest like a substance, spreading toward the mountain ranges.

Rumble!!

In the far distance, at the Emperor Demon City nestled among the mountains like an ancient behemoth, the city gates burst open.

A seven-meter-tall demon clad in black armor emerged, like a giant supporting the sky. As he stepped out of the large gate, he carried an ancient bronze sword on his shoulder, while behind him, the demon army surged out like a dark tide.

Thump!

A dull sound of war drums suddenly resounded from the city walls.

Thump, thump…

The sound of war drums echoed, one louder than the other, faster and faster. The sound made the demonic blood in the demons' veins boil and their bodies shudder with fury; their fighting spirit soared. For the cultivators who were charging toward them, their hearts sank as if a force of a thousand pounds weighed them down.

Kill!!!

Heat surged in Han Yi's heart as this scene seemed like an imaginary immortal-demon battle.

Vast and brutal.

Unlike a real immortal-demon battle, in this fight, the human cultivators possessed immortal bodies.

At first, Han Yi had some concerns; the artifacts he brought could be destroyed or lost during the battle or if they were not taken back into his storage bag before he was killed, they would be considered lost once he returned to the Taixu Illusionary Realm.

That was his concern, but he also knew that once he entered the Cave Heaven world, nothing was certain.

At this moment, Han Yi suddenly understood what Zuo Lie meant by showing no mercy in the Immortal Path struggle.

Not showing mercy meant not showing mercy to the different races, nor to other cultivators, and not even to oneself.

Only by going all out could one claim not to hold back.

Han Yi regretted not bringing the Golden Light Shuttle with him, which would have let him reach his peak combat strength.

At times, he had to admit that his thinking was a little narrow.

However, nobody's perfect, and no one could cover all grounds.

As things stood now, if Han Yi died and returned to the Chi Mang Tribe, it would be too late to come back to Emperor Demon City.

At this moment.

Looking down from above, one could see the ancient city nestled in the dark mountains with its gates wide open. A seven-meter-tall demon with an ancient bronze sword emerged. Behind him, countless demons rushed out from both sides, spreading out…

And from the forest, a little over two thousand human cultivators charged out, each at the Qi Cultivation Peak. Over half of them were at the Foundation Establishment stage, and among them, more than fifty were legendary cultivators.

Spirit Light and demonic figures fiercely collided at the moment of contact.

Immediately.

There was a sudden uproar of sounds: war drum beats, demonic roars, battle cries, sound explosions, the tearing of flesh and blood, and the shattering of artifacts…

At the same time.

In the deepest part of Emperor Demon City, a giant demon opened his eyes. Within his colossal, terrifying eyes, a hidden longing that had been suppressed for thousands of years appeared..

Chapter 128: Chapter 127: Battle Legend Again (3/5)

Boom!!

The ancient bronze giant sword slammed down, and beneath it, a faint spirit light flickered. The giant sword was raised, leaving a pool of blood.

With this sword, a Qi Cultivation Peak level cultivator was smashed into a bloody pulp, his magical weapon shattered, and even the power of the weapon's self-explosion was directly suppressed.

"Kill!!"

Two rays of spirit light soared into the sky, attacking the demon. These were two spirit swords controlled by Sword Immortals. The spirit swords roared with murderous intent, colliding against the demon's armor and recoiling with a mournful sound.

However, this sword strike left a crack in the demon's armor.

Following the two spirit swords, seven or eight attacks landed on this crack during the briefest moment, blasting open a hole in the armor and striking the demon's body directly.

Roar!!

The giant demon shrieked in pain, and with a deafening roar, the ancient bronze giant sword swept across, sending a suspended three-legged Golden Cauldron flying. A legendary Qi cultivator tens of meters away was hit by the backlash from the high-quality magical weapon, spewing out a mouthful of scalding blood.

It wasn't over! After sending the Golden Cauldron flying, the giant sword's speed didn't decrease, cutting through a legendary cultivator at the waist. Behind the legendary cultivator, six others met a disastrous end, their bodies pierced by terrifying and raw power, instantly turning them into sieves and then vanishing.

This horrifying scene greatly boosted the morale of the demon's side.

The next moment.

Kill!!

At least thirty legendary cultivators surrounded the giant demon. These legendary Qi cultivators each held a top-grade magical weapon; every strike was equivalent to one from a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

Thirty attacks converged on the giant demon's body while the giant sword in its hand was still unable to return from exhaustion: its head, chest, body, armor, throat…

In an instant, the most terrifying spirit power swept across the area, centered around the giant demon. Those peak Qi cultivators who had been forced too close were unable to control their bodies, being sent flying directly by the aftershocks. Although not severely injured, their internal organs felt as if they had been rearranged, their frightened faces showing they had reached their limit.

The spirit power storm was dispersed by a wild wind, revealing the giant demon that was now dead beyond any doubt.

Facing the collective fire of more than thirty legendary Qi cultivators, equivalent to being bombarded by more than thirty Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, even a Golden Core Stage cultivator might have perished, let alone a demon whose strength had been limited.

Not far away, Han Yi had just killed a Blood Demon, and when he looked up, he saw this earth-shattering attack, causing his eyelids to twitch uncontrollably.

Even ants can kill an elephant, let alone that the giant demon was no more than an elephant, and the legendary cultivators were not much weaker.

He turned to look at the other side of the battlefield and saw dozens of Xuandan Sect disciples forming a Spirit Array, being led by a legendary cultivator like a sharp knife, stabbing straight towards Emperor Demon City.

This legendary cultivator was not An Xin from Azure Dragon Peak, whom he had met at the Cang Clan, but Geng Changxu, the second legendary cultivator from the Xuandan Sect and the Earth Ranking's number one from White Tiger Peak.

Within the Spirit Array, Han Yi also spotted the familiar He Fengdi.

In the distance, other cultivators were also forming Spirit Arrays, slaughtering the Demon Clan fearlessly, advancing rapidly towards the giant city.

Han Yi's figure flashed, dodging a Rock Demon's stone ax attack. The Shadow Bearing Sword darted past, piercing through the Rock Demon's body. Without waiting for it to explode, he circled around, cutting off its head with one smooth stroke.

Swipe!

Looking at the city gate, there were at least seven cultivators capable of flying in mid-air. At this moment, they had climbed onto the city gate, including two Sword Immortals and Xie Jingshan from the Spirit Combat Sect, with whom he had fought a brief battle before.

Below the city gate, several legendary Qi cultivators from Yujing Mountain were also not weak, as they had already entered the fight, leaving a bloody path behind them.

Han Yi's figure flashed, and his Light Body Technique was already pushed to the extreme.

Since there was a competition, there could be no hesitation or fear of both wolves and tigers ahead and behind him.

He evaded an attack by a Yin Demon, dodged a golden light supernatural power from a Golden Demon, and without stopping, rushed into the breached city gate.

Inside the city, it had become a slaughterhouse as well.

Continuous cultivators swarmed in, killed the obstructing Demon Clans, and rushed towards the depths of Emperor Demon City, where a beam of light towering to the heavens exuded a deadly temptation.

Han Yi's figure halted, and right before him stood a five-meter tall Rock Demon, both of its hands gripped a black giant axe. The axe wasn't particularly exquisite; it appeared crude instead, but it exuded a terrifying aura. That aura was even more intense than the Rock Demon's.

Han Yi's face darkened as he quickly tried to leave and take a detour, but he found it was too late. The sound of air being ripped apart behind him whistled, as if predicting his movement, and chopped down.

Six daggers shot out before Han Yi could even turn, rushing towards the giant axe.

Whoosh!

Clang, clang…

The six daggers were continually repelled.

Boom!

The giant axe stopped but did not cease its chopping.

However, in that brief moment of delay, Han Yi had already moved more than four meters away. The gust of wind from the axe's chop passed by his face, making him look horrified.

"So strong."

He retreated ten meters, lightly waved his hand, and collected the scattered daggers back from all directions.

However,

He discovered that one of the daggers had developed a nick on its blade. This discovery made his face look even uglier.

"Legendary. This Rock Demon's strength must be equal to that of a human Legendary Qi Cultivator."

Han Yi's mind flashed through the Demon Clan he had met after entering Facing Reality Cave Sky, sneaking in his calculations and reaching the same conclusion.

A three-meter Demon Clan was stronger than a senior Qi Cultivator at the ninth layer but weaker than those at the Qi Cultivation Peak. A four-meter Demon Clan was at the Qi Cultivation Peak, and at five meters, like the one in front of him, they were equivalent to a Human Clan Legendary Qi Cultivator. In contrast, at six meters, just like the Black Demon Clan's Cang Clan Chief, they had already surpassed the Legendary status and required many Legendary Qi Cultivators to unite for extermination.

Han Yi retreated again, not that he couldn't battle a Legendary opponent, but being blocked here meant he couldn't go snatch the Yujing Order.

However, tens of meters away, that five-meter-tall Rock Demon roared in fury. With its stone axe chopping, its speed was not limited by its size, even faster than Han Yi's Light Body Technique.

Han Yi's face darkened as he stopped running away. Instinctively yelling, the Shadow Bearing Sword in his hand streaked across a ray of light, outpacing the giant axe, and instantly passed by the neck of this Legendary Rock Demon.

A muffled, raspy collision sound transmitted, and Han Yi stared intently as his pupils suddenly contracted.

The Rock Demon's neck, which the Shadow Bearing Sword slashed, had merely dropped some rock debris, causing no more significant damage.

"That's right, it's because of the Sword Tool."

Han Yi's inner heart tightened as he realized the reason.

Strictly speaking, this was his first time fighting a Demon Clan equal to a Legendary Qi Cultivator. Before this, he had encountered Legendary Qi Cultivators twice.

The first time was in the Evil Mountain Range where he remotely contended against Blood God's child Han Xuxiao from Blood God Sect, witnessing a Legendary Qi Cultivator's horror for the first time.

The second time was in Black Demon Clan's ancestral mountain when he was blocked by Xie Jingshan from the Spirit Combat Sect. His only intermediate-grade Sword Tool, the Seven Stars Sword, only made the green banner pause for half a moment before he was subsequently engulfed.

During both encounters,

He practically had no chance to retaliate..

Chapter 129: Chapter 128: Bloody Curtain (4/5)

Over the years, Han Yi had witnessed quite a few battles involving legendary Qi cultivators.

However, when it was his turn to face one, he realized that without a top-grade magical weapon, he was basically vulnerable in front of a legendary Qi cultivator.

Legendary Qi cultivators were not like the eighth-level Qi cultivator Han Yi had met in Tianqing City. These cultivators stood at the pinnacle of Qi cultivation and used top-grade magical weapons.

Although Han Yi's Shadow Bearing Sword was a high-grade magical weapon, it was still a far cry from being a top-grade one. The difference between the two was like day and night in terms of power.

These thoughts flashed through Han Yi's mind in an instant.

Once he realized this,

A fierce light flashed in Han Yi's eyes.

He recalled the Shadow Bearing Sword and placed it behind his back. Then, he put away the six daggers and took out another middle-grade sword, the Rosy Clouds Sword, from his storage bag.

This was the second middle-grade sword that he brought into the Cave Heaven world. The previous Seven Stars Sword had exploded when facing Xie Jingshan, buying him just enough time to swallow a fragment of the Taixu Order.

Next, his divine consciousness surged and attached itself to the Rosy Clouds Sword.

"Kill!!"

The Rosy Clouds Sword, dragging a fearsome pale red light, broke the sound barrier as soon as it was activated, emitting a terrifying sonic boom and charging straight at the two terrifying eyeballs of the Rock Demon.

The Rock Demon roared in anger, trying to block it with its giant axe. However, the Rosy Clouds Sword suddenly accelerated, evading the axe and closing in on the Rock Demon's eyes, less than three meters away.

In the Rock Demon's eyes, a gray-white light burst out. This was its innate supernatural power, Petrification.

However,

More than ten meters away, Han Yi's intention was neither to inflict serious damage on the Rock Demon nor to kill it.

Knowing himself, he did not have the Golden Light Shuttle, and he was not capable of killing the Rock Demon, who was on par with legendary Qi cultivators, using only the high-grade Shadow Bearing Sword and a set of middle-grade Wind Demon Daggers.

In that case,

He would at least hinder the Rock Demon.

Seeing the Rosy Clouds Sword nearly three meters away from the Rock Demon's head, a fierce expression flashed across Han Yi's face.

"Explode!!"

At that moment, he detonated the sword without any hesitation.

At the same time,

Han Yi took out two Spiritual Talismans from his storage bag, one Annihilation Talisman, which he threw out without hesitation, and the other, an Escaping Talisman, which he attached to himself.

In the next instant, after the sword exploded and the Annihilation Talisman was activated, Han Yi silently escaped to a hundred meters away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

In the next moment, the sword completed its explosion, and the shattered fragments turned into a rain of swords, sweeping towards the Rock Demon's face under the terrifying storm of Spirit Energy.

However, a gray light flickered across, and the rain of sword fragments only moved one meter before being frozen in mid-air.

At the same time, the Annihilation Talisman was activated, and an invisible ripple penetrated the Rock Demon's head, causing it to roar to the sky. Gray light poured out from its eyes, turning everything in its path into white ash and stone.

About three hundred meters away, Han Yi's face turned cold. The rapidly rising horrifying aura and roar from behind him made his heart palpitate.

"Legendary, this is legendary."

For the first time, Han Yi had a more accurate understanding of legends.

No wonder they could stand above the peak of Qi cultivation, creating a non-existent title.

At the time, he thought he could fight a legend, but now he realized that he had been overly confident.

The mysterious yellow-turbaned immortal he faced in the trial was merely a Heavenly Creation. Compared to cultivators, the immortal had an abundance of power but lacked versatility. Moreover, the immortal only passively defended during the trial and did not attack. If it had attacked, Han Yi estimated that he would not have lasted three breaths.

Next, Han Yi became even more cautious. In order not to be hindered, he quickly evaded the four-meter-tall Demon Clan members, and when encountering five-meter-tall ones, he made use of extra artifacts and spiritual talismans, to buy himself time to escape.

Boom!

Deep within Emperor Demon City, a towering palace collapsed with a bang, brought down by a nine-meter-tall Emperor Demon.

Within three hundred meters of the Emperor Demon's corpse, more than thirty figures exuded a fierce killing intent and overwhelming spirit energy, colliding without yielding.

These were more than thirty legendary Qi Cultivation Peak cultivators.

Out of the over fifty legends participating in the battle for Yujing Taixu Order, about twenty of them perished, leaving only thirty-odd standing on the ruined palace grounds.

"Strange, why is the Taixu Light Pillar still there?" asked Xie Jingshan of the Spirit Combat Sect, floating mid-air with only four battle flags remaining in front of him.

He had self-destructed five battle flags for this battle, equivalent to five top-quality artifacts, showing the high stakes he had placed on this.

"As far as I know, he should be the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan."

"According to the rules of the Cave Heaven world, killing the strongest member of a different race where the Taixu Order is located should cause the Taixu Light Pillar to dissipate and reveal the Taixu Order. Did we kill the wrong person?"

Another female legendary cultivator with crimson eyes scanned the area. She raised a hand and lightly pointed at the Demon Emperor's corpse, which had collapsed the palace, and was dozens of meters away. Without any visible artifacts, the body suddenly split into pieces, turning into chunks of debris. The Emperor's blood had no foul stench but instead exuded a mysterious fragrance.

It could be used to refine high-grade Pills, cultivate spirit plants, or strengthen a cultivator's physical body.

However, compared to the Yujing Taixu Order, this corpse was of little value.

"It's really dead."

The legendary female cultivator looked puzzled.

When Han Yi arrived, he saw the nine-meter-tall corpse that resembled an ancient giant being cut into pieces by a mysterious force.

In the middle of the vast square, the palace had been reduced to ruins, with an area as large as hundreds of soccer fields. The corpse lay in the center of the ruins, while Han Yi was at the edge of the square.

Even at the edge of the square, Han Yi could still smell the fragrance emanating from the broken chunks of the corpse in the ruins.

"What a pity, it's a great ingredient for refining Pills and cultivating spirit plants."

Han Yi took his gaze away from the Demon Emperor's corpse and looked around.

Near the corpse, more than thirty legendary Qi Cultivation cultivators stood at varying distances from one another.

At the edge of the square, over five hundred cultivators stood without hiding their figures, their auras concealed.

Everyone remained silent, waiting for changes to occur.

Just at that moment.

A blood-colored light emerged from the dismembered Demon Emperor's corpse and dispersed rapidly in all directions before anyone could react.

Hum!

At the same moment, a blood-colored light rose from the ground at the edge of the square. It stretched towards the sky like a giant blood cloth and then closed in from all sides.

This sky-covering, sun-blocking blood-colored light curtain was like a blood-colored lid, covering the whole square and even enveloping the beam of light caused by the Yujing Taixu Order.

As the beam of light was enveloped and cut off from the outside, it instantly dissipated, turning into nine tokens that slowly fell to the ground.

At the same time.

A rumbling sound came from beneath the rubble of the Demon Emperor's corpse.

Thump, thump, thump!

The sound was first rapid, then slowed down. Everyone within the square understood what this sound was.

It was a heartbeat.

This was the heartbeat of a member of the Demon Clan..
