Han Li saw the familiar yet strange arc of lightning; it was indeed the Divine Devilbane Lightning , but the elegant young man had refined it into such an evil-infused form using some unknown method.
However, in terms of power, it was not much different from the Divine Devilbane Lightning unleashed by traditional golden thunder bamboo.
"I wonder what methods Senior Brother Li will use to counter it. He should have also refined a golden thunder bamboo Magic Treasure by now, right?"
Han Li felt a slight anticipation in his heart.
However, Li Feiyu did not use the Divine Devilbane Lightning ; instead, he fully unleashed the Yi Wood Azure Lightning to defend.
In addition, a hazy yellow mist began to rise around his body, ebbing and flowing, giving off a sense of profound weight.
Even the fully unleashed Yi Wood Azure Lightning was still quite inferior to the Divine Devilbane Lightning , but the Yi Wood Azure Lightning consumed a lot of the Divine Devilbane Lightning "s power, and the remaining lightning arcs landed on the hazy yellow mist, failing to penetrate it for a time, only causing the mist to violently shake.
After a series of crackling sounds, the Divine Devilbane Lightning dissipated, immediately followed by a emerald green arrow that arrived like a bolt of lightning, but it was also blocked by the hazy yellow mist.
The emerald green arrow sank slightly in the mist, as if a force of a thousand jun was pressing down on it.
After a moment of stalemate, the emerald green arrow showed signs of breaking through the mist, but at this moment, Li Feiyu raised his palm, and a faint golden light circulated between his palms.
Bang ~
The arrow, which was about to break through the mist, was slapped back by Li Feiyu.
The emerald green arrow flew back, stopping about a foot in front of the elegant young man.
"Earth Emperor Skill!"
"How many Cultivation Techniques have you Cultivated? Extreme cold Qi, supreme Yang flames—these are definitely not ordinary Spells or Divine Abilities. They might even come from some top-tier Cultivation Technique."
"Besides Metal-element Spells and Divine Abilities, you're actually proficient in everything else?!"
The elegant young man thought of a possibility and exclaimed, "You… could you be a Five Spiritual Root Aptitude? But how did you Cultivate to Core Formation?"
Just then, a look of pleasant surprise suddenly appeared on the elegant young man's face. His expression changed, and his entire body transformed into a wisp of green smoke. Seeing this, Li Feiyu immediately formed an Yi Wood Azure Lightning net and enveloped it, but the green smoke vanished without a trace upon touching the Yi Wood Azure Lightning.
It turned out the green smoke was his diversion!
The voice of the elegant young man came from deep within the stone steps, "Kid, this Holy Ancestor remembers you. I have other matters to attend to today, but I'll settle the score with you another day!"
The voice gradually faded into the distance, suddenly becoming ethereal and untraceable.
Li Feiyu sighed, "As expected of a former Nascent Soul old devil, his escape Divine Ability is truly profound."
Han Li pouted, "Could it be that you still wanted to kill that old devil?"
"He doesn't have his full Nascent Soul strength right now, so there's no harm in trying. After all, while I might not be able to match him in terms of elusive escape Divine Abilities, I'm confident that my Crimson Crow can outrun even a typical Nascent Soul Cultivator."
"Sigh~" Han Li let out a sigh, "Your Spirit Beast is indeed enviable."
"But, Senior Brother Li, did you really Cultivate several Cultivation Techniques? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?"
Li Feiyu narrowed his eyes, "Junior Brother Han, since when did you become so gossipy?"
"Curiosity, curiosity." Han Li gave two dry laughs.
Afterward, they left this Immortal Cave and flew through the air.
Suddenly, Li Feiyu felt a disturbance from his Storage Pouch. He investigated with his Divine Sense and saw a torn map. This torn map was obtained from a skeleton in the Taiyin Cave, but he hadn't paid it any mind.
Now, he saw the torn map had changed; a golden cluster of small light swords had appeared on the empty silk handkerchief.
"Void Heaven Palace torn map!" Li Feiyu took out the torn map, his face filled with pleasant surprise.
He had originally intended to borrow Han Li's torn map, but he unexpectedly obtained one himself.
Han Li saw Li Feiyu take out a torn map and found it familiar, so he couldn't help but say, "I seem to have one too."
After taking it out of his Storage Pouch, Han Li found that his own torn map had also transformed to be identical to Li Feiyu's.
"This…"
"This must be the Treasure Trove location." Li Feiyu smiled slightly, "Junior Brother Han, how about we go together to take a look?"
Han Li pondered for a few seconds, then nodded.
Following the torn map's guidance, the two flew along.
Several days passed in a row, and they occasionally encountered a group brawl among Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.
On one side were a man and a woman, and on the other were three evil-looking men in brocade robes.
Li Feiyu pointed with a faint smile, "Junior Brother Han, isn't that Fellow Daoist Wen Qiang?"
Han Li looked closely, "It is indeed. To meet an old acquaintance here is truly a matter of fate."
"Even if they are acquaintances, there's no harm in helping them." As Li Feiyu spoke, with a flick of his sleeve, three Yi Wood Azure Lightnings shot through the air.
The three men in brocade robes were unable to dodge and were struck, their bodies a bloody mess, dying on the spot.
Wen Qiang and the female Cultivator were momentarily stunned, then looked towards where the lightning arcs had originated, only to see them flying towards their side.
The female Cultivator recognized their faces and said in surprise, "So it was Elder Han and Elder Li who acted. Thank you so much!"
"You…" Han Li asked curiously.
The female Cultivator replied, "I am Envoy Zhuo's Personal Disciple from the Exquisite Sound Sect . I have seen your portraits in the sect."
Han Li nodded. Li Feiyu looked at Wen Qiang and smiled slightly, "So, Fellow Daoist Wen, you've also joined the Exquisite Sound Sect ?"
Wen Qiang nodded, his lips moving slightly, "Greetings, two Seniors. I never expected to see you again, and you both look as you always have, completely unchanged."
"When I saw your portraits in the Exquisite Sound Sect , I still couldn't quite believe it. In such a short time, both of you have successfully achieved Core Formation. Wen Qiang congratulates you both here."
The female Cultivator asked in surprise, "Father, you actually know the two Elders? Why didn't you tell me?"
Li Feiyu smiled, "Fellow Daoist Wen, this is your daughter? To achieve Foundation Establishment at such a young age, she has a more promising future than you."
"This is my daughter, Wen Siyue. She is indeed my pride."
Li Feiyu slapped his Storage Pouch, and a top-tier Water-element Magical Artifact flew out, "Since she is the descendant of an old acquaintance, a meeting gift is still necessary."
Li Feiyu inadvertently glanced at Han Li, who sighed slightly and likewise took out a bottle of Medicinal Pills that enhanced Cultivation and presented them to Wen Siyue.
"How can I accept this?" Wen Qiang was somewhat overwhelmed.
Li Feiyu said, "Just accept it. You also hope your daughter can go further in the future, don't you?"
Wen Qiang was speechless. After thanking them, he accepted the gifts.
"Alright, Fellow Daoist Wen, we have other matters, so we'll be leaving now. We'll meet again if fate allows."
Wen Qiang and Wen Siyue bowed respectfully.
Han Li and Li Feiyu instantly sped away, disappearing at the end of the coastline.
"I never expected Elder Li to be so kind and approachable. Father, how did you come to know the two Elders? They are quite mysterious in our Exquisite Sound Sect ."
"It was just a few chance encounters, that's all."
...
A month later, a certain empty sea area suddenly became lively. Every few days, Cultivators would arrive here and then fly towards the sky.
"This is it." It was Li Feiyu who spoke. He and Han Li had followed the map to this location.
"Why isn't there anything?" Han Li murmured softly.
"Up there!"
At this moment, both of them simultaneously looked up at the sky, only to see a palace in the clouds suspended there, grand and enormous, made entirely of flawless white jade, exquisite and magnificent, emitting a faint glow.
The palace was surrounded by a thick golden light barrier.
"Let's go, let's take a look."
Han Li nodded and went with Li Feiyu to the outside of the light barrier. Li Feiyu directly touched it but couldn't enter, so he took out the torn map. With a flash of white light, he passed through the golden light and flew inside.
Seeing this, Han Li also followed suit.
Approaching the main sect, above the palace's entrance, which was over ten zhang high, were three large silver ancient characters.
Li Feiyu looked at the ancient characters and read aloud, "Void Heaven Palace!"
