Wu Shattered Star River

To get from the Eastern Twilight Mountains to Twilight Void Mountain, one had to pass through a swamp. Many Immortal Beasts lurked within, all of the water-based variety. They would leap out from the swamp, making it a terrifying place.

However, for Jiang Han and Yu Xi, encountering Immortal Beasts was not terrifying. It was like Jiang Han was being gifted battle beasts.

After traveling through the swamp for five days, Jiang Han captured another two hundred or so Rank Three Immortal Beasts. He no longer bothered with Rank Two.

He could have captured more, but he often encountered cultivators in the swamp, and Jiang Han was afraid of being exposed, so he was very cautious.

The Big Dipper Star Lord and the others should have brought in a lot more cultivators. Jiang Han and Yu Xi estimated that there were at least three or four thousand young cultivators, as well as many young elites who were obviously from the military.

They didn't encounter any Rank Four Immortal Beasts in the swamp, otherwise Jiang Han and Yu Xi would have tried to catch one.

"Is that Twilight Void Mountain?"

Jiang Han was secretly amazed when he saw a towering golden mountain in the distance.

He looked at it for a few moments, and asked in surprise, "This mountain isn't naturally formed, is it? I vaguely feel like there's a palace on top of the mountain?"

"Yes!"

Yu Xi nodded and said, "The Twilight Void Mystic Realm was refined by an ancient great power. His name was Twilight Void Taoist, and his battle power was comparable to the current Jade Emperor and Azure Emperor."

"During the Fallen Immortal Lake battle, he was one of the human commanders. After that battle, his vitality was greatly damaged, and his lifespan was about to run out, so he used great magic power to refine a mystic realm, storing all his treasures inside."

Yu Xi pointed to the golden mountain and said, "Before his death, the Twilight Void Taoist left a will, saying that whoever could step onto the Twilight Void Palace would receive his Twilight Void Blade. This is a Hongmeng spiritual treasure, ranked fourth on the Divine Weapon Immortal Artifact list."

Jiang Han asked in surprise, "Hasn't anyone obtained it after so many years?"

Yu Xi shook her head and said, "Only cultivators under the age of one hundred can enter this mystic realm. If older cultivators force their way in, the mystic realm will close directly, or even collapse."

"The immortal formation on Twilight Void Mountain is very strong, with a total of seven levels. So far, only one person has stepped onto the sixth level. No one has ever reached the seventh level, let alone entered the Twilight Void Palace."

Jiang Han rubbed his nose and said, "Is there a trick to climbing the Twilight Void Palace? Does it require exceptional talent? Powerful battle strength? Or something else?"

"I don't know!"

Yu Xi shook her head and said, "There's no pattern to it. You can go up if you can, and you can't go up no matter what. Of course… the stronger your talent and battle strength, the higher you can climb."

"Forget it!"

Jiang Han had no intention of snatching treasures, and he didn't think he could climb the Twilight Void Palace.

More than a million years had passed, and the Heavenly Court had produced so many peerless geniuses, yet they couldn't climb it. Could a fake immortal like him climb it? Dream on.

The two quietly approached Twilight Void Mountain. After passing through the swamp, the terrain turned into small mountain peaks. Twilight Void Mountain was surrounded by dense small mountain peaks, and many places had dense forests.

However, the forests here no longer had maze formations, only thick white fog. The white fog here could isolate people's perception.

Looking into the distance, there were forests and small mountains shrouded in white fog everywhere. No one knew what lurked inside.

They were approaching from the south, and they could find many Heavenly Court spies in the outer areas. Their movements were easily discovered.

"Whoosh!"

A Heavenly Immortal wearing armor floated over, holding a token in his hand. He said, "By order of Commander Liu Zheng, all Heavenly Court personnel who have arrived at the periphery of Twilight Void Mountain are to assemble at Little Twilight Mountain."

"Who is Liu Zheng?"

Jiang Han turned his gaze to Yu Xi and asked through voice transmission. Yu Xi explained through voice transmission, "He is a commander of the Big Dipper Army, a peak Immortal Venerable, and a great general under the Big Dipper Star Lord. He should be the commander-in-chief of this operation to rescue the Little Imperial Grandson, Immortal Maiden Jiu Xuan."

After Yu Xi finished her voice transmission, she asked, "Where is Little Twilight Mountain?"

The Heavenly Immortal pointed to a relatively high small mountain in the north and said, "Over there. There is a Crimson Blood Tree on the summit of Little Twilight Mountain, which is very easy to recognize."

"Okay, we'll go over right away!"

Yu Xi nodded slightly. The Heavenly Immortal cupped his fist and retreated. Jiang Han looked at Yu Xi and asked, "Are we going to assemble?"

"Yes!"

Yu Xi said in a low voice, "Let's go see if Wu Yun is there. If he's not there, we'll sneak away. If he is, then we'll sneak away after the three of us meet up."

Jiang Han was doubtful and asked, "What are the consequences if we disobey military orders?"

"Heavier punishment!"

Yu Xi said, "They will report this matter, and the Big Dipper Star Lord may increase our punishment. For example, he might make us kill twenty Divine Lords or Demon Lords before returning our freedom."

Jiang Han nodded and said, "We'll go find Brother Wu, and we'll sneak away when we find him. I'm not going to Twilight Void Mountain to die."

The two followed the route indicated by the Heavenly Immortal. Along the way, they could find many military spies. This area should have been occupied by the Heavenly Court. They didn't find any God or Demon clansmen.

The two quickly found Little Twilight Mountain. This mountain had a large crimson tree, and the leaves were all crimson, like a red umbrella, which was very eye-catching.

Many cultivators had gathered here, which could be sensed from afar.

When the two arrived at the foot of Little Twilight Mountain, they were stopped by a team of soldiers. After the two showed their identity tokens and confirmed their identities, a Heavenly Immortal led them up the mountain.

"So many people have come?"

After going up the mountain, Jiang Han and Yu Xi discovered that many barracks had been built on the mountain, at least several thousand at a glance.

They could also see many cultivators gathered in twos and threes. After sensing them casually, there were two or three thousand.

"Brother Wu should be here?"

Jiang Han was overjoyed. So many cultivators had gathered here. If Immortal Venerable Wu Yun hadn't died, then it was very likely that he was here.

"Lu Xingyu!"

As Jiang Han and Yu Xi were walking inside, Lu Xingyu happened to be walking over with a group of Immortal Lords. The two glanced at them and quickly looked away.

"Miss Yu Xi!"

Lu Xingyu suddenly stopped and called out to Yu Xi.

Yu Xi smiled and cupped her fist, "Young Master Lu."

Lu Xingyu nodded slightly, then looked at Jiang Han and said with a smile, "This is Marquis Shen Dan, right?"

Jiang Han cupped his fist and said, "Greetings, Young Master Lu."

Lu Xingyu smiled gently and returned the greeting. The group of Immortal Lords behind him were a little surprised.

Lu Xingyu was ranked third on the Hidden Dragon List and was also the grandson of the Longevity Heavenly Emperor. Although he was usually humble, polite, and gentle, he was very proud in his bones.

Jiang Han was just an alchemist, yet Lu Xingyu actually returned the greeting?

After Lu Xingyu returned the greeting, he didn't say anything and turned around and left with his men.

Jiang Han and Yu Xi didn't care too much. They were taken to a barracks by the Heavenly Immortal.

The Heavenly Immortal told them not to leave Little Twilight Mountain. Commander Liu Zheng might summon all the experts to attack the mountain at any time.

Along the way, the two hadn't found Immortal Venerable Wu Yun, nor had they encountered Lü Qiu Yin or Lü Qiu He.

Of course, many barracks here had activated immortal formations. Could it be that they were in one of the barracks?

Just as the Heavenly Immortal was about to leave, Yu Xi stopped him and asked, "Is Immortal Venerable Wu Yun on Little Twilight Mountain?"

"No!"

The Heavenly Immortal shook his head and pointed to the golden mountain in the north and said, "He and more than a dozen Immortal Venerables were sent by Commander Liu to Twilight Void Mountain to investigate the situation seven or eight days ago."

"What?"

Jiang Han and Yu Xi's expressions changed. They wanted to find Immortal Venerable Wu Yun and sneak away!

Immortal Venerable Wu Yun had gone to Twilight Void Mountain, so how could they pull him away?
