Chapter 456 Re-entering the City of All Heavens

A world of cultivation, a chaotic sea of ​​stars.

Because forming the Four Spirits Golden Core would trigger extremely conspicuous phenomena of divine beasts from all four directions, Han Li did not form the core in his cave in Tianxing City after returning. Instead, he used a teleportation array to come to the Outer Star Sea.

After traveling to many places, they finally settled on an inconspicuous island.

In addition, the process of opening up the cave and setting up the formation took up a lot of Han Li's time, which is why his Core Formation process was so slow and he did not appear in the City of Heavens for several months.

Until today, strange things have finally appeared on the island where Han Li has been living in seclusion.

Suddenly, the sky above the island changed color, with dark clouds gathering wildly and pressing down.

"Rumble--"

A deafening thunderclap resounded, and silver lightning danced wildly among the clouds like mad snakes.

The strange phenomenon startled many of the monsters near the islands, and they all surfaced, staring at the vortex of spiritual energy gathering wildly in the sky with either surprise or greed.

Unlike Qu Hun's previous Core Formation, the spiritual energy vortex Han Li triggered was much larger.

Looking up from above, the spiritual energy within a hundred miles was all surging, rushing in from all directions like a long dragon, and frantically merging into the spiritual energy vortex that spanned the sky.

"hold head high--"

Just then, a faint dragon's roar suddenly came from the small island with only one spiritual vein.

The many demonic beasts were startled and hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound. They saw the spiritual energy vortex above the island suddenly collapse and transform into long dragons of spiritual energy that condensed and reformed.

In an instant, a phantom of a blue dragon materialized, coiling and soaring into the sky with its claws outstretched.

The terrifying dragon's might spread out in a mighty wave, startling all the demons into the water and causing them to flee in panic.

And this was just the beginning. After the Azure Dragon phantom rose into the sky, a majestic and powerful tiger roar resounded.

Immediately afterwards, a phantom of a white tiger leaped out and stood atop the mountain peak, roaring towards the dark clouds on the horizon.

At the same time, a magnificent golden-red divine bird took flight, emitting a clear and melodious cry.

Even on the turbulent sea, a black behemoth with a snake's neck and a turtle's body slowly emerged, its front paws resting on the sandy rocks at the edge of the island. It raised its neck and let out a deep, long groan at the three different phantom images of divine beasts above.

The four mythical beasts each occupy a side, their forms complementing each other above the island.

At that moment, a large ship was passing by on the distant sea. The cultivators on board were all dumbfounded when they saw the phantoms of the four divine beasts, as if they had never seen such a terrifying phenomenon of Core Formation.

Just then, the four phantom images of divine beasts suddenly turned their heads and stared intently at the ships on the distant sea.

In an instant, a powerful pressure swept across space and pressed down.

The cultivators on the boat were startled and hurriedly steered the boat around, fleeing the place as if they were escaping.

Seeing this, the four divine beast phantoms withdrew their gaze and stood proudly between heaven and earth, continuously absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushing in from all directions.

Until a certain moment, the turbulent spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred miles gradually subsided.

The four phantom images of divine beasts then began to move, some swimming, others flapping their wings and leaping, transforming into four beams of light that flew into the highest peak on the island.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, violent energy waves spread out in a ring from the mountain peak.

The tightly closed cave entrance suddenly burst open, and a disheveled figure strode out.

He looked around the cave and suddenly burst into laughter. His hearty laughter was accompanied by the faint sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling, which shook the entire cave.

Realizing this, Han Li quickly shut his mouth, but a smile still lingered at the corners of his lips.

"Finally... finally I've formed my core!"

Although he is only at the early stage of Core Formation, with the "Three Revolutions Rejuvenation Technique" in hand and the Four Spirits Golden Elixir, his magical power is enough to contend with that of a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator!
In actual combat, he can also summon the Four Spirit Golden Pills and invoke the phantoms of the Four Divine Beasts.

Even if it were an old man in the late stage of Core Formation, he was absolutely confident that he could deal with him!
"As expected of a mid-grade first-class Golden Core!"

"Such power is enough to crush cultivators of the same level. If I can advance to the peak of Core Formation in the future, even old monsters in the early stage of Nascent Soul will probably have no way to deal with me, right?"

Han Li was overjoyed and quite satisfied with the power of the Four Spirits Golden Pill.

However, after the initial joy, he gradually calmed down, and his cautious and rational nature regained its advantage.

"Don't be too happy too soon."

"Although I am now a Core Formation cultivator, apart from my magical power, I still use the methods of a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"After careful consideration, I think it's best to be cautious and go into seclusion for a while longer. Firstly, it will help me solidify my cultivation and strengthen my foundation. Secondly, it will also give me the opportunity to organize my complicated techniques."

"Formations, puppets, pills, talismans, and even avatars should all be put on the agenda."

"Oh right, the most important thing is still the magic weapon!"

"The Azure Origin Sword Manual contains a method for forging the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword. If we can find Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, we could try to forge it..."

Thinking about this, Han Li couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, because he had just too many things to do!

After much deliberation, Han Li decided that it was more important to go to Zhutian City first.

After all, the City of All Heavens was the fundamental reason why he successfully formed the Four Spirits Golden Core this time.

Instead of searching for Thunder Bamboo in the Chaotic Star Sea, why not go directly to the City of All Heavens? You might find a better forging material than Thunder Bamboo there!
Thinking of this, Han Li decisively took out the city entry token and first reported his safety to Nangong Wan.

After receiving a reply, he activated the teleportation function of the city entry token and stepped into the teleportation portal.

A flash of silver light, and the familiar city gate appeared before them.

Gazing at the plaque above the city gate bearing the three characters 'Zhutian City', Han Li was momentarily dazed. When he regained his senses, his expression returned to normal, but he couldn't help feeling astonished.

When he first came here, he was so captivated by the meaning behind those three words that he was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Now that he has broken through to the Core Formation stage and become stronger, the shock he feels is even more profound than when he was in the Foundation Establishment stage!
"Indeed, the stronger one becomes, the more one can experience the terror of the City of All Heavens!"

"I wonder who founded this strange place..."

As Han Li thought this, he looked at the city entry token in his hand and pondered, "Also, my city entry token is transformed from the senior's Void Talisman."

"Even though the Void Rune has dissipated, it still retains the ability to communicate with its sub-runes."

"If that's the case, could the token in Nangong Wan's hand also be an entry token?"

It is possible!
After a moment's thought, Han Li decided that after returning, he would try to remind Nangong Wan to see if she could activate the entry token of the City of All Heavens just like he had.

Just as Han Li took a step, preparing to enter the City of All Heavens, a flash of silver light appeared beside him, and two figures emerged from it and landed next to Han Li.

"Is this the City of All Heavens?"

The older man in the group stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the city gate with a rather sentimental expression.

But when the old man saw the plaque of the City of All Heavens, his expression suddenly changed. In a daze, he seemed to glimpse a deep, dark place containing great terror.

Seeing this, the young man in the sleek clothes next to him quickly reached out and tugged at the old man.

"teacher!"

"..."

The old man snapped out of his reverie, glanced at the plaque with a slightly complicated expression, and murmured to himself:

"Is this the City of All Heavens...?"

Although it is the same sentence, the meaning it contains is completely opposite.

The boy was not surprised at all and immediately smiled and said, "Teacher, I told you long ago that the wonders of this place far exceed your imagination!"

"Don't overthink it. Let's hurry and come into the city with this disciple to visit our Pill Pavilion!"

With that, the young man took a step forward and pulled the old man beside him toward the city gate.

But before he could take two steps, his peripheral vision caught another figure in front of him.

That's... Han Li?!

The boy's eyes lit up, and he immediately spoke:

"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"

"..."

Han Li paused, turning around warily.

The young man strode over, smiling, and said, "Are you Fellow Daoist Han from Yellow Maple Valley?"

Looking at the boy's appearance, Han Li recalled his last experience in the city and suddenly realized what was going on.

"So it's Senior Xiao!"

"It is indeed me, Xiao!"

Xiao Yan smiled and replied, then shook his head and said, "Brother Han, please don't flatter me. Although I entered the city earlier than you, I am far from being a senior. We are of the same generation, so you can call me brother or fellow Daoist!"

Han Li thought for a moment, then smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "In that case, I apologize for my intrusion!"

Xiao Yan waved his hand repeatedly, then looked at him with a smile and said, "Several months have passed, and Brother Han has once again stepped into the City of All Heavens. Did you successfully form your core after returning?"

"Not bad!"

Han Li smiled, clearly having been touched by something that pleased him.

Xiao Yan smiled and offered his congratulations a few times, then looked at the old man who was walking behind him and introduced him:
"Teacher, let me introduce you. This is Fellow Daoist Han Li. He comes from the world of cultivation, is very powerful, and has an extraordinary fortune. He will definitely be a potential client of our Pill Pavilion in the future!"

Oh?
The old man raised an eyebrow and nodded with a smile.

Xiao Yan turned his head again, looked at Han Li and smiled, "As for this gentleman, he is my teacher, known as the Medicine Venerable. This time, I have saved up enough money to enter the city, so I am giving him one. Consider him a new resident of the Heavenly City!"

The Medicine Master?!

Han Li was startled upon hearing this. In his understanding, anyone who could be called a Venerable One was certainly no ordinary person.

Judging from the aura emanating from this old man, it was indeed as deep and boundless as the ocean. Even in the world of cultivation, he would definitely be an old monster above the Nascent Soul stage!

Realizing this, Han Li dared not be negligent and immediately bowed respectfully, saying:

"Junior Han Li greets Venerable Medicine!"

"Young friend Han, you're too kind!"

The old man smiled and responded, then said with a hint of teasing, "After all, this is my first time entering the City of Heavens. Judging from how you addressed my unworthy disciple, I'm afraid I should address you as 'senior'!"

Han Li was taken aback upon hearing this, then gave a wry smile.

"You flatter me, senior!"

"As a senior, even if I had ten times the courage, I would not be worthy of being called a senior by you."

"This matter was Han's fault. Let's put it behind us and not mention it again!"
