The black-robed cultivator paused, his icy gaze sweeping over Li Fan and the others, then continued, "Also, due to the different experiences and states of mind of each cultivator, the illusions they see vary."
"Basically, they are grand scenes related to the Supreme Law Transmitting God from the past."
"But it only happens the first time."
The black-robed cultivator's tone carried a hint of regret. "After staying here for a long time and becoming accustomed to the aura of the Supreme Law, wanting to see the illusion again becomes a luxury."
Han Yi and Ximen Yue were still in awe of the impact of the illusion, and they simply nodded at the words.
Li Fan, on the other hand, remained cautious, still gazing ahead.
While concealing the fear in his heart, he attempted to recall the familiar sensation that came from an unknown source.
The black-robed cultivator observed the reactions of the three people, but he paid it no mind.
Without urging them, he patiently waited.
In his view, the astonishment and shock displayed by these newcomers were too normal.
As a "guide," he had long grown accustomed to it.
After a while, seeing that the three of them had gradually overcome the effects of the illusion, he continued with his duty.
"I've been entrusted by Ji Chengxian to lead you to the Guardian Hall."
"Follow closely behind me, and don't wander."
"Although those who can enter the headquarters have already undergone identity verification and generally won't have any problems."
"But this is still the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, a highly confidential area. There are hidden guards at all times."
"If you go to places you shouldn't and get captured or killed, no one will seek justice for you."
The black-robed cultivator coldly reminded them.
Li Fan and the others nodded, indicating their understanding.
Following behind him, Li Fan took the opportunity to observe the scenery of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters.
In the boundless void, many towering buildings floated.
Arranged in different directions above the void, they resembled countless stars in the sky.
And their current position was at the bottom of the entire architectural complex.
Silver rays of light streaked across the sky.
Moving back and forth between different floating buildings, within the light, faint silhouettes could be vaguely seen.
Advancing steadily, occasionally encountering solemn-looking and hurried cultivators.
The floating land under their feet seemed only to serve as an entrance and inspection area for outsiders.
Apart from the grass and trees planted on both sides of the road, there were no other buildings.
In no time, they reached the border of the land.
Li Fan saw that there seemed to be a strange formation engraved on the ground ahead.
Silver threads constantly roamed within the formation, activating whenever a cultivator stepped in.
Each time, a silver radiance carried them soaring into the sky, heading to different areas above.
Before the transfer formation, stood a burly and tall middle-aged cultivator.
This person wore the standard black and yellow Daoist robe uniform of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and his sharp eyes scrutinized the passing cultivators.
When it was Li Fan's turn, the tall cultivator glanced at the black-robed cultivator, nodding slightly in agreement.
However, he still stretched out his hand to stop them.
The black-robed cultivator paid no attention, taking out the circular mirror from before.
A beam of light shot out, landing on the tall cultivator.
Strangely, it seemed like the beam of light was absorbed by him. After landing on him, it disappeared in an instant.
In the eyes of the tall cultivator, numerous characters flashed momentarily.
Lowering his hand, he didn't obstruct them any further.
The black-robed cultivator led Li Fan and the others into the transfer formation.
At the same time, the burly middle-aged cultivator pointed towards the formation.
A silver thread shot out from his finger, entering the ground transfer formation.
After circling a few times, it increased several times in size.
Following that, carrying Li Fan and the others, they flew towards the sky.
In an instant, Li Fan's body seemed to transform into light, shuttling through this space at an unimaginable speed.
And peculiarly, he didn't feel any discomfort from the incredible speed.
The surrounding scenery rapidly retreated.
In the blink of an eye, the previously floating land had become as small as a black dot.
The light continued to ascend, passing by one floating land after another.
The sharp-eyed Li Fan vaguely saw, in a certain area, the silhouette of the iconic metal cube building of the Array Hall.
Not long after, shadows cast over their heads.
The light carried Li Fan and the others, diving into it.
In the blink of an eye, Li Fan returned from the light form to human form.
Setting foot on the land again, Li Fan looked ahead and saw a tall black stone stele not far away.
There was only a broad road leading straight to the stele.
There were no decorations such as grass, trees, or anything else along the sides of the road.
Compared to the other floating lands seen earlier, this place appeared somewhat simple and austere.
The black-robed cultivator remained silent, leading the way on the straight road.
The road surface seemed to be made of some kind of greenish-blue stone. As Li Fan walked on it, he was astonished to find that the spiritual energy within his body suddenly became silent.
As if it lost its vitality, regardless of how Li Fan tried to mobilize it, he couldn't move it at all.
Therefore, the Nascent Soul early stage clone, walking on this road, actually became no different from an ordinary person.
Han Yi and Ximen Yue also noticed this.
The three of them exchanged fearful glances, didn't dare to discuss it further, and quickly caught up with the black-robed cultivator who had already walked far ahead.
The tall black stone stele seemed not far away, just at the end of the straight road.
However, as Li Fan and the others traveled step by step with their physical bodies, this road seemed to become extremely long.
In Li Fan's perception, it took almost half a day for them to feel somewhat exhausted and reach the destination.
During this process, they encountered cultivators leaving the black stone stele.
But they seemed unaffected, still able to fly low above the straight road.
"It should be a restriction for outsiders. Members of the Guardian Hall headquarters can seemingly rely on some kind of secret technique to avoid the suppression of spiritual energy." Li Fan thought to himself.
Arriving at the foot of the black stone stele, Li Fan deeply felt its height.
The towering top had already exceeded the range of sight, and the entire body appeared black, exuding a profound sense of oppression.
What puzzled Li Fan was that the entire stele seemed like a single entity.
There was no visible entrance or exit.
At this moment, the black-robed cultivator who led them here spoke.
"Alright, it's here. Show me your Judgement Token."
Li Fan and the others took out the exquisite tokens.
The colorful light on the tokens shone on the black stone stele, making the previously pitch-black surface become colorful.
The halo spread out, and the sturdy stele seemed to dissolve in this colorful display.
A rainbow-colored passage appeared on the stele.
"You can go in now. I don't have the Judgement Token, so I can't enter the Guardian Hall without permission," the black-robed cultivator said.
