Mortal: My divine sense has mutated.

With a flash of teleportation light, Chen Liang appeared in a winding corridor.

After stepping out of the teleportation array, Chen Liang officially entered the third level of the outer hall—the wondrous illusionary realm.

After strolling for a while, Chen Liang finally saw some vivid and enchanting illusions before his eyes.

Chen Liang had initially had high hopes for this level, but the illusions turned out to be far too conservative and disappointing.

So Chen Liang waved his hand to disperse these spiritual lights and shadows, and strode across a long corridor that could lull people into a dream.

The restrictions in this corridor are effective against Core Formation cultivators, but they are clearly insufficient against Nascent Soul cultivators, so almost no Nascent Soul cultivators are afraid of this challenge.

After walking out of the corridor, Chen Liang saw the teleportation screen again. Passing through the teleportation screen, Chen Liang officially arrived at the entrance of the inner hall.

On the other side, Han Li first arrived at a treasure trove called "Baoguang Pavilion".

There, Han Li also discovered the hidden space of the Treasure Pavilion, and obtained the Red Shadow Cloak and the Five Elements Ring by using the Gold-Eating Insects to devour the surrounding spiritual energy.

Unfortunately, Han Li lacked a quick way to break the restrictions, so after the Devouring Gold Insects' method of absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy failed, the restrictions on the two ancient treasures came into effect simultaneously, triggering the punishment restrictions of the Treasure Light Pavilion.

Han Li was chased and attacked by Baoguang Pavilion for a while before being teleported out of Baoguang Pavilion.

Although he was beaten badly, Han Li felt it was all worth it.

Afterwards, Han Li put on a string of Bodhi beads before entering the wondrous illusion.

That was a rare treasure he cultivated in a small green bottle after finding a sapling of a Bodhi tree in Tianxing City. It had the effect of stabilizing the soul and reducing inner demons, and could assist cultivators in forming their Nascent Soul; it was extremely precious.

It's quite suitable for dealing with extremely wonderful illusions now.

With the help of the Bodhi bead bracelet, Han Li easily broke through the illusions of the first half of the Wonderful Illusion, but encountered some trouble in the wonderful dream of the second half of the Wonderful Illusion.

In his dream, he encountered numerous fortuitous events along the way, and his cultivation level remained on par with Chen Liang's. Now, he had even reached the Nascent Soul stage, walking in the Void Heaven Palace with the same splendid presence as Chen Liang and the others.

In the end, even though Han Li was fully conscious, he was reluctant to wake up.

But only somewhat. Han Li eventually woke up and arrived at the entrance of the inner palace.

He longed to gain more knowledge in the inner hall, hoping for a true opportunity to form his Nascent Soul. He also intended to take advantage of Chen Liang's presence to enter the inner hall and witness the legendary Void Heaven Cauldron.

After Han Li finally arrived at the entrance of the inner hall, no other cultivators came.

Soon after, the inner hall finally opened. However, Jin Kui and Elder Jia did not appear, which made Man Hu Zi burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, good riddance. Those two guys from Star Palace did a lot of tampering before, but it seems they really aren't coming to the inner palace."

Then, the bearded man looked at Wan Tianming and said, "Wan, how about we have a contest here? The loser won't enter the inner hall. What do you say?"

Wan Tianming, however, remained calm, seemingly unaware of what he had gained earlier.

"You barbarian, do you really think I'm afraid of you? You'd better save your strength for taking the cauldron."

The bearded man snorted coldly, clearly still harboring some intention to make a move.

But Qingyi Jushi intervened, saying, "Hey, you two. Let's take the cauldron first, then start the battle. Besides, who knows what will happen next?"

We must always be wary of situations where "when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits."

Upon hearing this, the bearded man restrained his aura.

"Then I'll make a note of it for now. Once the matter of retrieving the cauldron is settled, I'll come back and learn from your so-called orthodox cultivation method."

Just as the bearded man was glaring at the calm Wan Tianming with obvious displeasure, the only Core Formation cultivator in the room without the protection of a Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly sprang up and rushed toward the entrance of the inner hall.

In a bad mood, the bearded man retaliated with a swift strike, finishing off the opportunist.

"Where did this come from? Did I tell you to move?!"

This angered Tianwuzi, who stepped forward and questioned, "Barbarian, what do you mean by this?"

The bearded man: "I'm just upset about dealing with an outsider. What, you want to seek justice for him?"

Tianwuzi was furious and wanted to continue arguing with Manhuzi.

Wan Tianming interrupted him, "Alright, Brother Tianwu. This person doesn't seem to be a righteous person. The bigger picture is more important."

After saying that, Wan Tianming flew towards the entrance of the inner hall. Seeing this, Mu Tengzi and Tian Wuzi had no choice but to follow closely behind.

Ji Yin watched Wan Tianming and the others leave and sneered, "Hmph, they couldn't even withstand a single blow from a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet they still wanted to fish in troubled waters in the inner palace. It can only be said that they don't value their lives."

Then, Ji Yin looked at Xuan Gu behind the group and said, "However, there seems to be an outsider here. Brother Man, why don't you finish him off?"

Xuan Gu remained calm upon hearing this, clearly indicating that he had something to rely on.

But the bearded man spoke up, "This person has some connection with me; he's a descendant of a senior who was kind to me. Extreme Yin, you're not allowed to make a move on him."

Ji Yin: "Oh, I see. Since you are a descendant of Brother Man, I will naturally give you face. However, I did not expect that Brother Man is also someone who remembers the kindness of his predecessors."

The bearded man: "Hmph! I always have been, except for my deadbeat master."

After saying that, the bearded man gave Chen Liang a look, and the two of them walked ahead together. Ji Yin and Qing Yi Jushi followed beside them, and behind them were the second clone, Wu Chou, Han Li, and Xuan Gu.

It's worth mentioning that Xuan Gu had already dealt with Old Ghost Du during the second level.

The process was quite simple: Xuan Gu directly selected a ruthless person for Old Ghost Du as the target for possession.

Then, during the time when Du Laogui was possessing someone, Xuan Gu secretly gave him a break, allowing the Core Formation cultivator, whose magic power was originally restricted by Yin Soul Silk, to have the opportunity to take Du Laogui down with him.

And so Old Ghost Du was dragged away, to go to the Yellow Springs with that Core Formation cultivator.

As far as Xuan Gu was concerned, this old ghost Du knew far too much and was utterly incompetent; keeping him around would only be a menace.

So after dealing with Old Ghost Du, Xuan Gu is now completely relaxed and walks with a spring in his step.

Upon entering the inner hall, what appeared before them was a vast maze with walls that seemed to shift constantly.

The bearded man had been here before and knew its secrets, so he told Chen Liang the trick to getting through the maze.

After learning the trick, Chen Liang quickly understood how the maze worked, so he calmly walked beside the bearded man, steadily acting as a guide.

Han Li, who was at the back of the group, looked around curiously. Seeing this, his second clone simply explained the situation to him.

"Han Li, those stone doors on the surrounding walls are the treasure trove on this floor. For ordinary Core Formation cultivators, most can only try to find treasures on this floor."

As for the upper levels, it would be suicide for an ordinary Core Formation cultivator to go in alone. However, after obtaining the treasure on this level, one will be teleported out directly. The choice to proceed is up to you.

Upon hearing this, Han Li nodded in understanding, indicating that he understood Chen Liang's meaning.
