Mortal: My divine sense has mutated.

On the other side, after passing through the third level of the Void Heaven Palace, Chen Liang and his group encountered a golden-haired puppet at the mid-Nascent Soul stage on the fourth level.

This golden-haired puppet is shaped like a giant ape. Unlike the previous puppets, although its main material is still high-aged ironwood, it also incorporates some materials from demonic beasts, making it quite creative.

Chen Liang originally intended to use the Soul-Devouring Demon Needle to collect its essence, thereby acquiring a puppet body at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

But the bearded man was bored along the way and insisted on using this golden-haired puppet to warm up.

Thus, the golden-haired puppet, which had long been riddled with damage over the years, was destroyed by the bearded man.

Chen Liang stared intently at the bearded man for a while, until the bearded man turned his head away, looking like he was laughing out loud.

"This puppet is really fragile, hahaha."

In the end, Chen Liang let the matter drop. After all, the puppet's body was already riddled with various hidden injuries, and even if the bearded man didn't destroy it, it wouldn't be of much value for reforging.

However, if this puppet body is used to whet the appetite of some old guy, it might yield unexpected results.

Therefore, Chen Liang used the Soul-Devouring Needle to release the demonic beast's spirit and then took possession of the puppet's body.

Finally, after entering the inner hall for more than half an hour, as the bearded man broke through the wall blocking their way, everyone finally saw the location of the Cold Li Terrace.

Qingyi Jushi couldn't help but say, "Ah, we've finally arrived at this place."

Ji Yin then spoke up, "Wan Tianming and the others went in more than half an hour ago. I don't know what methods they used to break through the inner palace's restrictions and reach Hanlitai directly. We were really outmaneuvered by them."

Barbarian Beard: "Hmph! So what? The Void Heaven Cauldron isn't so easy to obtain."

Chen Liang: "Alright, let's go in and see how they're going to pull the cauldron. Half an hour has passed, and they still haven't succeeded. Maybe we'll see something really interesting when we go in."

Upon hearing this, Qingyi Jushi, Jiyin, and Manhuzi exchanged knowing smiles.

The group then strolled forward. As they approached the cliff ahead, the array patterns on the first half of the fifth floor of the inner hall began to activate, forming a thin rainbow bridge leading to the Hanli Terrace on the other side.

Chen Liang and Manhuzi looked around to make sure Wan Tianming and his group hadn't done anything wrong before stepping onto the rainbow bridge in front of them.

Qingyi Jushi, Jiyin, and the second clone followed closely behind, but when it came to Wu Chou and Han Li's turn, both hesitated.

Just as the two were looking at each other, wondering how to let the other go first, Xuan Gu, who was at the back of the group, stepped over them and onto the rainbow bridge.

During this time, Xuan Gu couldn't help but glance at Wu Chou and Han Li with a hint of disdain.

Seeing this, Han Li and Wu Chou disregarded their fear and followed.

Along the way, the cold wind of Hanlitai kept blowing. Chen Liang, Manhuzi, and the second clone, the three body cultivators, were not affected much, but Qingyi Jushi and Jiyin already needed to use their protective spiritual light.

As for Wu Chou, Han Li, and Xuan Gu, they each activated their defensive magic treasures to resist the cold wind that made them feel uneasy.

After all, if they were blown away, no one knew what they would encounter in this Void Heaven Palace, which was filled with escape restrictions.

As the group crossed the Rainbow Bridge and drew closer to the Cold Li Terrace, the surrounding wind grew increasingly biting and fierce. Even Qingyi Jushi and Jiyin were finding it somewhat difficult, let alone Wu Chou, Han Li, and Xuan Gu.

However, Xuan Gu's body had the cultivation of the peak of the Core Formation stage, so he wasn't in a bad state. Only Wu Chou and Han Li were blown around and looked extremely disheveled.

As soon as everyone arrived at the Hanli Terrace, the formation that Wan Tianming had set up earlier began to take effect, blocking Chen Liang and the others outside the Hanli Terrace.

Qingyi Jushi stepped forward and examined the formation, saying, "This formation seems a bit tricky."

Chen Liang: "It's not that difficult, it just requires us to carefully analyze the four directions to break it. If the four of us work together, we can find the right direction and break it in no time."

Bearded Man: "Then let's start searching."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yin nodded in agreement, and the four of them each chose a direction and transformed into streaks of light, rushing off in that direction.

When Chen Liang's figure reappeared beside the Cold Li Terrace, he casually released a beam of ordinary spiritual light, which caused the entire array light screen to shake violently, revealing the four array flags within.

As soon as the array flags appeared, Qingyi Jushi, Jiyin, and Manhuzi immediately attacked the area where the flags were located.

In just a few breaths, the formation set up by Wan Tianming was broken by Chen Liang and the others.

It can only be said that Wan Tianming's attempt to demonstrate formations in front of Chen Liang, a master of formations, was like showing off his limited skills before an expert.

After breaking the formation, Chen Liang did not rush back to the front of Hanlitai. Instead, he transformed into a beam of light and arrived in front of a stone wall of Hanlitai.

As Chen Liang pressed the blood-red vertical pupil of a winged monster carving on the wall, a hidden entrance to a secondary level was quickly revealed in the stone wall in front of him, where a map was prominently displayed.

Chen Liang reached out and took it out, confirming that this was the topographical map of the fifth floor of the inner hall, and that the location of the teleportation array leading to the place where the Soul Nourishing Wood was marked on it.

It must be said that one of the builders of this Void Heaven Palace had a rather wicked sense of humor. Because the walls of the Void Heaven Palace were generally protected by divine sense restrictions, this builder liked to use mortal mechanical techniques to hide things.

This not only makes these collections seem more precious, but also serves to test the cultivators' original intentions.

The commotion caused by the breaking of the formation created hollow echoes on the stone wall, allowing Chen Liang to pinpoint the location of the map accurately.

After acquiring the topographic map, Chen Liang returned to the front of Hanlitai.

This Hanli Terrace is shrouded by the famous Tiangang Cover. Except for an exit at the front steps, there is no way to pass through. Therefore, Chen Liang and the others do not need to worry that the three righteous people can leave quietly from the side after obtaining the Void Heaven Cauldron.

At this moment, Chen Liang, Manhuzi, Qingyi Jushi, Jiyin, the Second Avatar, Xuangu, Han Li, and Wu Chou passed through the entrance of the Heavenly Gang Cover and officially began their journey to the palace.

Inside the stone hall on the Hanli Terrace, Wan Tianming, Tian Wuzi, and Mu Tengzi were struggling to control six golden silkworms, making them shake the Void Heaven Cauldron below the deep pit.

At this moment, the three already knew that Chen Liang and the others had begun their ascent to the palace, and that the six level-three golden silkworms were about to exhaust themselves. Therefore, Wan Tianming and the others only wanted to gain some benefits first, and no longer considered whether they could truly lift the Void Heaven Cauldron.

Meanwhile, in a secret chamber equipped with a developing function, Elder Jia paced anxiously as he watched Chen Liang and his group begin their ascent into the hall. He exclaimed, "Oh dear! My great elder, why are you still so calm and collected? They've already started their ascent!"

Jin Kui smiled slightly and said, "You are good in every way, but you are a bit impatient and need more experience. Now that you have already made your move, just observe the situation and see what happens. There is no need to be so alarmed."

Elder Jia said helplessly, "Then we really just won't do anything?"

Jin Kui: "Of course we'll do it, and we'll do it beautifully, leaving no loose ends."

As Jin Kui spoke leisurely, he unconsciously clenched his palm, firmly grasping the golden spiritual light that emerged within.

Then, Jin Kui stood up and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to set off."

After saying this, Jin Kui led Elder Jia away from the secret room.
