"This trip to the Void Heaven Palace, our two Holy Lords are currently in seclusion and unable to preside over this treasure hunt, so we, the Enforcement Elders, represent Star Palace to supervise."
"The rules this time are the same as before: no one is allowed to bully the weak, kill, and seize treasures at will. Those who violate this will be hunted down by Star Palace. Of course, this requirement is only limited to the Outer Hall; we do not care what happens in the Inner Hall."
As the white-robed Elder spoke, his eyes swept across the entire hall like lightning. When he saw the two Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, he couldn't help but frown.
The two Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators were both Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators; one belonged to the Demonic Path and was called Barbarian Hu Zi, while the other was the Sect Leader of the Righteous Path's Ten Thousand Dharma Gate, Wan Tianming.
Han Li secretly marveled at the Star Palace Elder's actions, finding such an approach thankless.
Li Feiyu's lips curved into a cold smile.
Xuan Bone Old Devil sent a message to the two of them, telling them to be careful, as they would be teleported to random locations and would not be able to meet up in a short time.
"Thank you for your concern, Old Ancestor." Li Feiyu replied politely.
Time passed little by little, and on the morning of the fourth day, a sudden change occurred.
After a series of rumbling sounds, a white jade stone door descended without any warning at the entrance of the hall, completely sealing it off.
The door was covered in a misty white, clearly indicating a very powerful Restriction.
Those who were visiting for the first time showed panic on their faces, looking around, but they relaxed when they saw the calm expressions of the others.
Not long after, the ground at the end of the hall trembled slightly, and a teleportation array about ten feet wide appeared there.
The white-robed Elder walked over and inspected it, saying, "The teleportation array is fine. Teleporting from here will take you to the Outer Hall of the Void Heaven Palace. Each of you, take care of yourselves."
After speaking, the two of them stepped onto the teleportation array first, one after another. With a flash of white light, the two disappeared.
Next were the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, one by one stepping onto the teleportation array platform and leaving the hall.
The Core Formation Cultivators looked at each other, then rushed forward, one by one, leaving in succession.
Li Feiyu and his companions were not in a hurry and stepped onto the teleportation array much later.
...
With a flash of white light, Li Feiyu appeared on a small dirt mound, surrounded by a hazy gray mist that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Gusts of Yin Qi-laden wind blew through the gray mist, accompanied by the sharp cries of ghosts, which should have made one's heart chill, but Li Feiyu showed delight because the Soul Devouring Yin Plate could now gain more fierce ghosts.
Not far from him were three men and two women. He didn't recognize the men, but he recognized one of the women: the veiled female Cultivator, Xing Jueyi's second sister, Yao'er.
"I didn't expect to meet Miss Yao'er; it truly is fate."
Yao'er nodded slightly, her attitude neutral, neither warm nor cold.
A refined middle-aged Cultivator smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists, the ghost mist is dangerous. How about we go together?"
"I am Xu Tian. How should I address you all?"
Li Feiyu smiled. Huddling together for warmth in times of danger, was he trying to test human nature?
He had no intention of getting entangled with them and walked alone into the gray mist, disappearing from their sight shortly after.
The mist became calm, and the others looked at each other. At this moment, Yao'er also chose to set off alone.
A male Cultivator sneered, "He truly doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. The ghost mist is extremely dangerous now; few Core Formation stage Cultivators can pass through it alone. If one encounters a Ghost King, it's a near-certain death."
Xu Tian smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, don't be angry; we still have four people!"
"How should I address you all?"
....
After entering the ghost mist, Li Feiyu extended his Divine Sense, but even with his powerful Divine Sense, its range only covered about a hundred meters in all directions.
He was very close to the late stage Core Formation realm, had cultivated the third layer of the Great Development Art, and had consumed three soul tempering pills. His Divine Sense power was enough to rival a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.
The soul tempering pills were only effective for the first three, and their effect diminished each time. Li Feiyu still had two in his possession and felt he might have an opportunity to trade with Han Li.
Of course, not now; the current Han Li was dirt poor, and Li Feiyu wouldn't look down on him.
The only ancient treasure he had was the flower basket ancient treasure that Li Feiyu had given him last time, following the "share half upon meeting" rule.
As for the mysterious scroll, the skull, and other miscellaneous items in the Storage Pouch, Li Feiyu kept them for himself.
The scroll contained the spirit of a Yang Bird, which Li Feiyu fed to Crimson Crow. Crimson Crow was currently in seclusion within the Spirit Beast Pouch, attempting to Breakthrough to the seventh-level Demon Beast realm.
It was highly likely that he would successfully Breakthrough in this Void Heaven Palace.
The ghost mist was filled with gusts of Yin Qi-laden wind. As Li Feiyu walked, an ancient circular plate, the Soul Devouring Yin Plate, revolved around him.
It greatly enjoyed this environment, emitting a buzzing sound, slightly excited.
Clang, clang, clang ~
Once it sensed a fierce ghost or Yin soul nearby, the Lock Soul Chain would actively strike, extending into the black mist, and each time it retracted, it was full of harvest.
For half a day, almost no fierce ghosts entered within twenty zhang of Li Feiyu.
He also enjoyed a leisurely half-day, but his peaceful days didn't last long before trouble found him. It was Yao'er, with a half-moon wheel suspended in front of her, breaking through layers of mist and flying towards Li Feiyu.
The ghost mist churned violently, and behind her came the sharp cries of ghosts, extraordinary and even affecting Li Feiyu slightly.
Not long after, the ghost creatures following her appeared, not just one, but a group.
Each of them exuded dense Yin Qi, terrifying and malevolent.
When Yao'er saw Li Feiyu, she flew directly towards him, unsure if she intended to divert the disaster or seek help.
But the next moment, she flew past Li Feiyu, making her intention very clear.
As she passed, Yao'er even specifically glanced at Li Feiyu.
Li Feiyu chuckled. He handed the ghost creatures over to the Soul Devouring Yin Plate, while five of his fingers emitted azure lightning arcs, one after another, forming a lightning cage that trapped Yao'er within it.
"Leaving without saying goodbye like that is a bit impolite, isn't it?"
Seeing Li Feiyu's Divine Ability, Yao'er's star-like eyes were filled with surprise.
She had originally thought that the other party was only friendly with him because of Xing Jueyi's status, but seeing his masterful azure lightning Divine Ability, she couldn't help but feel shocked.
"Fellow Daoist Li, don't misunderstand. This humble one was just fleeing in a hurry and didn't pay much attention. By the time I realized it was you, it was too late to warn you."
Li Feiyu chuckled twice, clearly not believing her.
There were quite a few ghost creatures, and the Lock Soul Chain was almost unable to capture them all. Li Feiyu turned around and saw that several evil ghosts had already reached him.
A blue light flashed around Li Feiyu, and the evil ghosts turned into a puff of blue smoke.
Behind the group of ghosts was a black-robed ghost creature, suspected to be a Cultivator, who was manipulating the spirits.
The Yi Wood Azure Lightning condensed into a lightning whip, extending rapidly, but the ghost Cultivator was illusory and formless, managing to dodge it.
Then, he flew towards Li Feiyu, spitting out a blood bead from his mouth. The blood bead transformed into a sea of blood, five or six zhang high, surging and sweeping towards him.
Li Feiyu's lips curved slightly in disdain. Five white lines shot into the sea of blood. In an instant, the sea of blood froze on the spot, forming an ice mountain.
The ghost Cultivator let out a sharp ghostly wail, even more intense than before. Yao'er covered her head, feeling a headache. Li Feiyu frowned slightly, and a dozen Formless Soul Shocking Needles flew out from his body. Under the control of his powerful Divine Sense, they attacked the ghost Cultivator from all directions.
Pfft, pfft, pfft ~
Wounds appeared on the ghost Cultivator's body, each a small, hazy hole.
Affected by the unique Divine Soul attack of the Soul Shocking Needle, the ghost Cultivator's voice stopped abruptly, and his aura plummeted.
His blood-red eyes revealed terror, and he turned to flee, but three Lock Soul Chains suddenly appeared, binding him. The Soul Devouring Yin Plate exerted force, and the severely weakened ghost Cultivator was immediately dragged into the world of Yin souls.
Of course, the other ghost creatures generally met the same fate.
Seeing Li Feiyu so easily deal with the group of ghost creatures that she feared like wolves, Yao'er's bright, agile eyes immediately became blank.
