Mortal: From a Chaotic Star Sea to a True Immortal

After leaving the wondrous illusion, the group gathered together again after a short while.

Soon after, the group arrived at the most mysterious place in the Void Heaven Palace.

This was the final destination that Wei Fang had been longing for.

"Wan Tianming and the others have already gone inside, let's go too."

After casually killing a Core Formation cultivator who tried to force his way in, and watching another man in black escape with Azure Fire Lightning, the bearded man addressed the crowd.

The group quickly stepped forward and followed him into the five-story treasure building.

During this time, Wei Fang released the purple-gold alms bowl and placed it above his head. Instantly, the treasure transformed into streaks of purple light, completely surrounding Wei Fang.

"Is this the treasure you obtained from Baoguang Pavilion? It's a decent defensive magic item, but it seems to have a rather limited function." Old Man Qingyi said as he walked away after examining the treasure for a few moments.

"This junior does indeed lack some means of self-defense, so I took this treasure upon seeing it. Senior, have you taken a fancy to this treasure? Perhaps this junior could offer it to you?"

Wei Fang replied while keeping an eye on the puppets that appeared around him from time to time.

"Hehe, you can take this. It's nothing too rare or precious." The old man shook his head, indicating that he didn't need it.

When Wei Fang was searching for treasures, he had his eye on a few powerful items, but then he remembered that old man Qing Yi was very poor.

If the treasure is too good, it will inevitably attract its covetousness, so I simply took this purple-gold alms bowl.

Although this defensive magic item doesn't have any other extraordinary features, it's quite durable in defending against the five elements' spells and attacks from ordinary magic items.

Although the Soul-Nourishing Wood Ring is more powerful in terms of defense, Wei Fang does not want to expose it, given the large number of Nascent Soul cultivators present.

……

As the group continued their journey, they encountered more and more formations and puppets.

With the help of several Nascent Soul stage monsters, the group finally managed to pass through the first few levels after half a day of effort.

During this time, Wei Fang picked up a few of the scattered puppet parts and put them away.

However, unlike Han Li, he didn't let go of even the smallest detail.

He knew absolutely nothing about puppet making; he only picked up materials because these ancient materials were indeed rare.

He wanted to take it back to test whether it really couldn't be disassembled and re-refined.

"Yes, that's the Heavenly Gang Shield ahead. Wan Tianming and the others have been inside for a while now."

The bearded man said nonchalantly, "This place only has one exit; no one can escape. Let's just wait here for them to come out."

Upon hearing the bearded man's opinion, the others didn't say much and simply nodded in agreement.

The group split into twos and threes and scattered to observe the place.

Han Li was seen tapping and patting here and there.

After a moment, Wei Fang silently approached within ten zhang of them. After observing the Nascent Soul stage monsters doing their own things, he transmitted his voice to Han Li.

"Brother Han, how come you're with this Old Ancestor of Extreme Yin? Extreme Yin Island is a notorious demonic sect, and there aren't any good people there."

Upon hearing this, Han Li calmly put the item he had just touched into his storage bag and then transmitted his voice, "Brother Wei, I have a lot of trouble to say. My feigned compliance with him this time was out of desperation. If I hadn't gone with him, I'm afraid I would already be in mortal danger."

"Oh? Why is this old monster pressuring you? I see he has already taken you as his disciple. What do you have that this Nascent Soul cultivator would value? This Extreme Yin Island is famous for refining corpses, Brother Han, you must be careful."

Han Li thought for a moment. Wei Fang had previously said that he wanted to enter the core to take a look at the Void Heaven Cauldron, and he would find out about the Blood Jade Spider sooner or later.

So he didn't hide it and told Wei Fang that he had this spirit insect.

"Blood Jade Spider?"

Wei Fang asked knowingly, "What kind of beast is this? I don't think I've ever heard of it before."

Hearing Han Li mention that this spirit insect had been extinct in the Chaotic Star Sea for nearly a thousand years, very few people knew about it.

He only got this one by chance.

He also learned from Ji Yin that the Blood Jade Spider could pull the Void Heaven Cauldron.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have needed to summon this beast back in the Inner Star Sea," Han Li said with a wry smile.

"I see."

Wei Fang suddenly realized what was going on. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a talisman and threw it to Han Li, telling him to keep it safe.

"Brother Han, the situation today seems quite unpredictable. I may not be able to help you much, so please keep this safe."

"Many strange old monsters are here, so you must be careful. Preserving your life is the most important thing. If things go wrong, run for your life."

Han Li put the talisman into his pocket, his eyes flashing, "Could this talisman be...?"

"That's right, the kind you asked me for before. I've made a few more in recent years; you can use this one for self-defense."

After Wei Fang finished speaking, he looked around as if he had found something that intrigued him, and walked past Han Li.

……

"snort!"

After listening to Ji Yin for a long time, he turned to Qing Yi and began to communicate with him using divine sense in a rather irritable manner.

"Brother Qing, you heard it too. This kid doesn't want to become your disciple at all; he's clearly a helper that Han kid brought along. We should deal with him here to avoid any trouble."

"Hehehe, Brother Wu! Look at you, getting anxious again, aren't you?"

Qingyi glanced at the Heavenly Gang Cover and transmitted his voice to Jiyin without turning his head.

"What trouble could two mere Core Formation cultivators possibly cause? Besides, this young Wei clearly knows nothing about this matter. Since I agreed to take him in, I must protect him this time. Brother Wu, you must give this old man some face."

"Hmph, retrieving the cauldron is of utmost importance. If this brat behaves himself once inside, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Ji Yin snorted coldly and turned his head away after hearing this.

He then called his grandson, Wu Chou, to his side.

"Grandson, you'd better keep a close eye on these two lads when you go in. And keep these two corpses safe; if anything goes wrong..."

Ji Yin made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Don't worry, Ancestor."

Wu Chou clasped his hands and transmitted his voice, "Two mere Core Formation cultivators are easy for me to deal with. They certainly won't cause any trouble for you, Ancestor."

"That's great, hehehehe."

Hehehehe.

"The Void Heaven Cauldron is shaking! Come on! Follow me inside!" The bearded man sensed the movement inside the Heavenly Gang Shield and said this to the group before heading straight for the gate.

"My good disciple, come back quickly. Your master and the others need to go inside!"

Han Li and Wei Fang exchanged glances upon hearing this, and without further ado, they followed each other into the great formation.

Upon entering, Jian Weifang sensed a biting cold current and immediately activated his cultivation technique, also taking out two magical artifacts from his storage bag to protect himself.

That is, to offer some resistance.

Unlike Han Li, he wasn't constantly showered with treasures.

The price of such heat- and cold-proof magical artifacts in Tianxing City is really not cost-effective. Wei Fang has refined quite a few of these top-level magical artifacts over the years.

If it breaks, just replace it; Weifang is going to sell it anyway.

Having failed to retrieve the cauldron, Wan Tianming and his companions encountered the group led by the bearded man, and naturally, they had nothing nice to say to them.

After exchanging a few words with each other, they called two other people and left immediately.

After Wan Tianming and his group left, Manhuzi and his men set up multiple restrictions on the gate and then began to prepare to take the cauldron.

"Kid."

"Senior," Wei Fang quickly replied.

"The Void Heaven Cauldron is just ahead. You've seen the environment here; it's not a pleasant place to stay."

As Qingyi walked, he said, "After you've finished looking at this cauldron, find a chance to slip away. If a fight breaks out later, I won't be able to take care of you."
