Mortal: Li Feiyu, who came from the realm of a supreme being

The shadow passed smoothly through the gap in the tower door; inside the tower, all was deathly silent.

In the center of the first floor, the shadow "sensed" the distorted, leaning humanoid shadow outline, which should be the remains of the Tianfu Sect cultivator.

The shadow's "hand" merges into the shadow of the storage bag at its waist and a small shadow clenched between its finger bones, presumably a talisman, instantly "dragging" them and sealing them into its own shadow space.

The entire process was silent, and the remains did not even move an inch.

Immediately afterwards, the shadow moved upwards along the shadow of the stairs.

The second layer was filled with neat square and cylindrical shadows, presumably where books were stored. The shadows spread out and "swallowed" all the items into the shadow space. The third layer, in addition to books and scrolls, also contained shadows of array plates and flags with perforated patterns, which were also swept away.

At this point, the vital energy of heaven and earth that drove the shadows was exhausted.

With a thought, Li Feiyu felt a slight tremor in his body. The "Primordial Divine Source" that Han Yunshu had condensed for him by expending his own foundation of the "Nuwa Mending the Heavens Technique" trembled slightly, and a pure stream of primordial power of heaven and earth was separated and injected into the connection that maintained the shadow from a distance.

The shadow solidified again, but Li Feiyu could feel the divine energy being continuously depleted.

The fourth layer consists of shadows of materials and objects of various shapes. These shadows transform into a vast black curtain, sealing away all the shadows of objects that can be touched.

This immediately depleted nearly 20% of the Tai Su Divine Source's reserves.

The fifth floor was spacious, with only the shadows of the prayer cushions, the shadows constantly passing by.

The sixth layer of the alchemy furnace, its thin, sheet-like structure, and the shadow of the scroll were clearly discernible. Time was of the essence, and the shadow only swept away all the thin sheet shadows, abandoning the heavy furnace itself.

The shadow entered the seventh floor, which was also very spacious, but there seemed to be a lot of content carved on the walls. It might be a inherited technique or something else. Li Feiyu forcibly memorized the shape with his shadow and then prepared to go deeper, but was completely blocked by a thick, uniform, and seamless materialized restriction of spiritual light and shadow.

"Any more restrictions? How boring. Even a gentleman would be wary... Never mind."

Li Feiyu's core objective was the Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman; everything else was secondary. Since his path was blocked, he decisively gave up and manipulated his shadow to return.

Upon reaching the sixth level, he steeled his resolve, his shadow enveloping the shadow of the alchemy furnace, forcibly sealing it away! Nearly thirty percent of his Primordial Divine Source was suddenly consumed!

Back on the first floor, the shadow "swallowed" the entire skeleton into the shadow space. Since he couldn't see the actual situation, he decided to pack it up and take it out to avoid missing any potential treasures on the cultivator's body.

When the shadow returned carrying a full Shadow Space, and "released" the sealed objects in front of Li Feiyu, a mountain of objects suddenly appeared, almost burying him alive.

Books and jade slips, bottles and jars, minerals, tattered array flags, strange artifacts, a stark white skeleton, a simple alchemy furnace half the height of a person... many items shimmer with spiritual light and exude an ancient charm.

Li Feiyu merged with his figure, then quickly rummaged through the clutter around him, took out several large storage bags he had prepared, and stuffed all the items into them as quickly as possible, leaving only the remains and the antique-style storage bag at his waist.

He carefully examined the remains; the bones were exceptionally hard, having survived countless ages, indicating that the person must have possessed extremely high cultivation during their lifetime.

The silver talisman between his finger bones had been removed and placed aside. The talisman was neither gold nor silk, and its runes were complex and mysterious, with six-colored light flowing over it. It was the Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman.

He carefully put it away separately.

Then, he picked up the storage bag. The bag was made of fine materials and embroidered with subtle patterns, but the original owner's marks had long since faded with time.

Li Feiyu immersed his divine sense into it, and the first thing he "saw" were two ancient treasures that floated quietly, their spiritual light restrained. One was a comb that was entirely crimson, as if carved from fiery jade, with natural patterns that resembled flowing flames; the other was a dark green spiritual bow, with a long bow body, engraved with mysterious patterns, and radiating a unique coolness.

Next to it is a pale yellow, ancient-looking jade slip.

With a thought, the contents of the jade slip flooded into his mind, quite complex.

It mainly records the detailed effects and activation methods of two special talismans, namely the "Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman" and the "Spirit Transformation Talisman", as well as some insights on talismans. It also includes an extremely detailed map of the Great Jin Dynasty, marked with many mountains, rivers, geography and sects.

In the corner of the storage bag lay two rather unusual talismans. One was the "Spirit Transformation Talisman" recorded in the jade slip, and the other was a complete, white jade talisman for long-distance communication. Beside it was half a broken jade talisman of the same kind.

In addition, a corner of the bag contained some obviously high-grade refining materials, such as "Geng Essence" and "Li Fire Crystal." Although the quantity was small, they were all rare items. What moved Li Feiyu the most were the spirit stones piled up like a small mountain next to it, emitting a soft light. A rough estimate put their value at no less than ten million, making them incredibly wealthy.

"He is indeed someone of great background..." Li Feiyu thought to himself.

Without hesitation, he casually tossed the half of the Ten Thousand Mile Talisman, skillfully sending it out through the ventilation hole, where it landed far away in the direction of the pagoda.

This is half of the Wanli Talisman. Li Feiyu doesn't know if anyone else holds the other half, so it's not really an attempt to contact them; keeping it is pointless.

Perhaps it will be discovered by those who return in the future, but that will no longer matter.

He also retrieved the golden box.

Next, he took out several blank jade slips and copied down as much as possible the outlines of the murals and inscriptions on the seventh-floor wall that he had forcibly memorized.

These ancient characters have unique structures and require time to translate and understand.

After doing all this, he looked inward at himself.

The Primordial Divine Source that Han Yunshu had condensed for him was now less than 30% remaining, and it had to be reserved to deal with summoning failures or other unforeseen circumstances.

He activated the puppet summoning array imprints that had long been engraved on his chest and the inside of his arms.

He then carefully sealed the entrance to the cave with boulders and mud, leaving only a tiny ventilation hole.

Next, it's time to wait.

He suppressed his aura, even adjusting his inner world, actively lowering his heart rate and metabolism, entering a state of reclusive life similar to tortoise breathing. The "Fragrance Without Muscle Odor" given to him by his master Chang Hao at his waist perfectly concealed his last trace of aura.

Hidden several meters underground, isolated from the senses of most demonic beasts, their safety was guaranteed.

Now, he only needs to wait for Han Yunshu to activate the main core of the summoning array every three hours, as agreed.

In the darkness, Li Feiyu remained calm, silently calculating the time. Whether he could successfully escape this blood-red forbidden land, which would only reopen in sixty years, depended on whether the summoning array originating from another world could overcome the blockade of this ancient secret realm.

……

Inside Han Yunshu's cave at Huadaowu.

Since Li Feiyu left, she has been restless and unable to concentrate on her cultivation.

As agreed, Li Feiyu was to stay alone in the Crimson Forbidden Land for two days before leaving. Since they couldn't determine when they would enter, they could only use the return of the Huadaowu team as an anchor point, and the journey from Huadaowu to the Crimson Forbidden Land would take about two days.

More than ten days later, the flying boat from Huadao Dock finally returned.

Despite her anxiety, Han Yunshu still went to the airship to wait, as arranged in the script.

Seeing that it was Han Yunshu, whom the patriarch valued, who was anxiously waiting, Elder Fang took the initiative to say, "Don't worry, Junior Nephew Han. Junior Nephew Li has successfully come out of the Crimson Forbidden Land. He just had to leave temporarily on the way. I believe he will be back in a few days."

"Thank you for your care, Elder Xie Fang." Han Yunshu quickly expressed his gratitude and then returned to his cave.

Back in her cave, she activated the defensive and isolation formations. As a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, she received excellent treatment, with several sets of protective formations for her cave.

After doing all this, she returned to the secret chamber and looked at the main array core left by Li Feiyu, knowing that this was Li Feiyu's only reliance for returning.

She sat cross-legged, her inner world operating at full power, condensing strands of primordial energy, and injecting it into the array's core!

……

Inside the Crimson Forbidden Land, Li Feiyu had been quietly waiting underground for two days, during which time he had learned how to use the Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman.

It can only be said that it lives up to its reputation as one of the three legendary divine talismans. Its effects are truly heaven-defying. It does not require cultivators to use their own magic power to activate it. Once activated, it can absorb the surrounding spiritual energy and automatically form six layers of armor.

From the perspective of novel writing, this kind of thing is indeed not suitable for Nangong Wan or Han Li to obtain in the early stages, even if they obtain it during the "tape period," as it would affect the writing, because it would make many predicaments and desperate situations seem less tense and exciting.

Speaking of which, Tianfu Sect is really unlucky; all the people who controlled the core technology died while they were out there messing around.

One of them entered the Netherworld with the method of making spirit-summoning talismans, was trapped there for his entire life, and died inside.

One of them, carrying the Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman and the Spirit Transformation Talisman personally crafted by the Celestial Master Tianfu, entered the Crimson Forbidden Land. He forced his way in without using the key to open the pagoda and was killed by the restrictions.

Then the Heavenly Talisman lineage was broken, and it became a small sect with only one Core Formation Sect Leader.

Just then, Li Feiyu felt a momentary reaction from the array markings on his body. He immediately put aside all distractions and focused on starting the timer.

It wasn't easy for Han Yunshu to condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Three hours was just enough to condense a trace of spiritual energy sufficient to activate the array's core. He also needed to align with the time and make preparations before the deadline.

He carefully put everything away on his person and waited quietly with a calm mind.

Time ticked by, and he did consider the possibility of the summoning failing, but that wasn't fatal.

Even if it doesn't reopen for another sixty years, he can directly establish his foundation in the forbidden area, and he can afford to wait until he has a lifespan of two hundred years.

What I'm most worried about is Han Yunshu's side.

With the invasion of the demonic path, she, being a Heavenly Spiritual Root, would definitely be taken away to evacuate. However, going to the Northern Liang Kingdom would mean living under someone else's roof, and life would likely be very difficult. Moreover, she had never faced the cultivation world alone before, and it was uncertain whether she could handle it.

Soon, three hours had passed.

Li Feiyu composed himself, lit the red candle again, took out the Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman and examined it, then tossed the silver talisman into the air, made a hand seal with his ten fingers, and uttered a spell.

The next moment, an unbelievable scene suddenly appeared.

The silver talisman in front of Li Feiyu spun and transformed into a beam of silver light, immediately covering his body with a layer of misty silver light. The light shield flashed wildly, and a series of booming sounds rang out. At first, it was still light, but in an instant, it shook the entire cave. The spiritual energy in the air was stirred by the shock and became even denser.

Li Feiyu felt a chill run down her spine, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

In an instant, wisps of five-colored spiritual light appeared in the cave, surging towards him like ten thousand streams flowing into the sea, and all of them were absorbed into the light barrier.

The silver light shield shifted and changed, and layers of different colored light curtains condensed on his body, shining brightly. After a moment, a six-layered, thick light shield with distinct boundaries was formed.

"Thankfully, it went smoothly..." This trip to the forbidden area was very risky, with many potential pitfalls.

If the Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman is unusable or not yet obtained, he will most likely choose to stay in the forbidden area to cultivate, first establishing a foundation and extending his lifespan.

After all, even if you summon yourself as a puppet, you can still move around in space.

Traveling through space in the mortal world is quite risky. Without the protection of the Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman, he might not have dared to answer Han Yunshu's call.

Fortunately, things did not get worse. After the Heavenly Armor Talisman was activated, he once again activated the Shadow-Seizing Divine Skill. At the same time, he used his inner world in conjunction with the Turtle Breathing Skill to actively stop his own life force.

His entire primordial spirit was transferred into the shadow, which also gained consciousness and the ability to see.

As the time drew near, the final step began—using the shadow to forcibly reverse control of the body. The next moment, the body, which had already actively severed its life force, twisted like a puppet.

At the same time, the mark activated, and his figure suddenly disappeared into the cave, leaving only a candle that had not yet burned out.
