A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm

"Well done, I can see that all of you have made great progress," Han Li said with a nod of approval.

"We all have you to thank for creating such an exceptional cultivation environment for us, Master," Weeping Soul said with a warm smile.

"Why did you suddenly stop, Master?" Xiaobai asked.

He was at a crucial juncture in the cultivation of a secret technique just now, so he felt a little frustrated to have been interrupted.

"A ten-thousandfold space of accelerated time is not just something that I can set up anytime that I please. We're not going to have access to it in the near future," Han Li said.

His Time Dao Runes needed time to recover, and there were also barely any Immortal Origin Stones left next to the Celestial Time Array.

Even though he had managed to obtain Elder Xi Tang's storage tool, there had been barely any Immortal Origin Stones left in it as he had spent everything on the Soul Scattering Ghost Flute.

If he wanted to set up the space of accelerated time again, not only did he have to wait for his Time Dao Runes to recover, he would also have to accumulate a large sum of Immortal Origin Stones as well.

"It's going to be very slow progress cultivating with the flow of time back to normal," Xiaobai sighed.

"Quite whining! You should be grateful that our master went to so much effort to set up this space of accelerated time for us!" Weeping Soul scolded as she gave Xiaobai a knock on the head with her Soul Scattering Ghost Flute.

A ghostly shriek instantly pierced into his mind, causing him to shudder involuntarily.

"Ow!"

Xiaobai felt as if he had just had a bite taken out of his soul by a malicious ghost, causing him to yelp in pain.

His immediate reaction was to pounce on Weeping Soul in retaliation, but he didn't dare to do so for fear of her Soul Scattering Ghost Flute.

"Alright, stop messing around. I won't be able to set up the space of accelerated time again anytime soon, but you can still cultivate in the Flower Branch domain. I'll go see what's happening outside," Han Li said as he departed from the Flower Branch domain.

Upon arriving outside, Han Li discovered that the Dao Warriors were still in the room, and nothing was out of the ordinary.

He took a glance out the window, and he was greeted by the sight of a glowing, golden mountain range, with much of the plant life on the mountains also displaying a golden coloration.

This landmark alone wasn't enough to tell him the flying boat's current location, so he made his way out of his room before returning shortly thereafter.

He had just gone out to enquire about the whereabouts of the flying boat, upon which he was informed that over half the journey was already complete, and barring any mishaps, they were set to arrive in Nine Origins City in around ten more years.

Without the space of accelerated time, there was no point in entering the Flower Branch domain, and he could keep an eye on things by staying outside, so he remained in his room instead of returning to the domain.

He sat down with his legs crossed on the bed, then flipped a hand over to produce a stack of jade slips and books.

These scriptures contained information that he had gathered in Gilded City about the greater Golden Origin Immortal Region and Nine Origins City, and none of it was of particular importance, but it was still never a bad idea to be armed with more knowledge.

Han Li was just about to begin reading through the scriptures when a thought suddenly occurred to him.

How's that nun doing?

He had forgotten all about her during the close to two hundred thousand years he had spent in the Flower Branch domain.

He activated his Infernal Devilish Eyes, and his gaze easily penetrated through the restrictions in the walls, allowing him to peer into the neighboring room.

Everyone in the room was seated in silence, and it appeared that all was well.

A contemplative look appeared on Han Li's face, and he was considering confirming with the nun herself to see if she actually was Yu Menghan so he wouldn't have to keep guessing.

Right at this moment, a loud commotion rang out from outside.

Han Li raised an eyebrow as a series of blue runes appeared over one of the walls of his room, forming a simple, blue array.

A calm and reassuring voice rang out within the array.

"A wave of level five Golden Astral Wind is currently approaching the flying boat, but do not be concerned as the boat's protective restrictions will be enough to weather the storm. Having said that, please stay in your rooms during this time for your own safety."

Just like the lesser Golden Origin Immortal Region, the greater Golden Origin Immortal Region was also extremely abundant with metal-attribute spiritual energy, and it was precisely because of this that a type of natural disaster called Golden Astral Wind would occasionally arise due to disturbances in the metal-attribute spiritual energy.

Golden Astral Wind was classified in terms of levels, with level one being the lowest, while level nine was the highest.

Level five Golden Astral Wind was already quite formidable, but according to the voice in the array, the passengers didn't have anything to worry about.

Not long after this warning was issued, a burst of thunderous rumbling began to ring out in the distance.

Han Li looked out through the window to see a golden light on the horizon, and it was rapidly approaching while giving off a thunderous rumbling, expanding to form a boundless golden storm in the blink of an eye.

Everything swept up by the golden storm was quickly razed to the ground, and as the storm drew closer, a thick, blue light barrier appeared over the surface of the Sun Moon Flying Boat to fully encompass it.

Countless starry patterns were flashing over the blue light barrier, giving it an indestructible appearance similar to that of a True Extreme Film.

The protective barrier had only just taken shape when the golden storm arrived, and the entire sky instantly darkened as the Sun Moon Flying Boat shuddered violently before being thrown violently to the side.

Right at this moment, the runes inscribed onto the surface of the flying boat began to glow radiantly, and it was quickly able to stabilize itself before continuing onward, but at a far slower speed than before.

Han Li naturally wasn't going to be startled by such a minor disturbance, and he released his spiritual sense to assess the situation within the Golden Astral Wind.

All of a sudden, Weeping Soul flew out of the Flower Branch domain with a wary expression as she asked, "Did something happen, Master? I suddenly felt a wave of panicked emotions sweep over the flying boat."

An alarmed look then appeared on her face as she caught sight of the golden storm raging outside.

"This is a special type of natural disaster, and the passengers are a little alarmed to have encountered it," Han Li explained.

"I see," Weeping Soul replied with a relieved expression.

"Now that you're here, I have a request for you. There's a female cultivator in the neighboring room that bears a striking resemblance to a friend of mine from a lower realm. However, it's been many years since we last parted ways, so I can't be certain of her identity. Would you be able to check for me?" Han Li asked.

"Of course. Which one is it?" Weeping Soul asked.

"The white-robed nun in that room over there," Han Li replied as he pointed at the room in question.

Weeping Soul released his spiritual sense into the room for a moment, following which a displeased pout appeared on her face as she accused, "She's quite the beauty. Could it be that she's a lover of yours?"

"She's just a friend, and I'm not very familiar with her. Otherwise, I would've been able to verify her identity myself," Han Li replied with an amused smile.

"Alright, I'll take a look for you," Weeping Soul said with a nod, but right as she was about to spring into action, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face.

"What's wrong?" Han Li asked.

"The people in that room are all very strange. There's one of them in particular that's very interesting," Weeping Soul replied with a faint smile.

"What do you mean by that?" Han Li asked.

"Something's about to happen. If you're interested, you should take a look," Weeping Soul replied with a mysterious smile.

Han Li was rather intrigued to hear this, and he peered into the neighboring room with his Infernal Devilish Eyes.

The five cultivators in the neighboring room had all stopped cultivating to look at the golden storm raging outside with fearful looks on their faces.

They were all Golden Immortals, so direct exposure to the storm would've spelled instant death for them.

The storm was only becoming more and more ferocious, and golden blades of wind were striking the blue protective barrier of the Sun Moon Flying Boat one after another.

The blue light barrier was able to keep the blades of golden wind at bay, but the commotion from the repeated impacts was so loud that some of the weaker cultivators among the passengers on the boat felt as if their eardrums were about to split open.

The five cultivators in the neighboring room had set up around a dozen layers of restrictions and even summoned defensive immortal treasures to protect themselves, but that didn't do much to ward off the debilitating commotion, and all they could do was grit their teeth and bear the pain.

All of a sudden, Sun Chongshan threw up a mouthful of blood as his aura was thrown into a state of disarray.

"Are you alright, Fellow Daoist Sun?" the red-robed woman hurriedly asked in a concerned manner.

A concerned look also appeared on the black-robed young man's face, while the yellow-robed man on the bed also took a glance at Sun Chongshan, but it was one of derision.

As for the white-robed nun, she remained as expressionless as ever.

"I'm fine. I sustained some damage to my internal organs during a recent battle that I've still yet to recover from, and those injuries have been slightly reaggravated," Sun Chongshan replied.

He then took a pill before continuing, "This storm isn't going to pass anytime soon, and if things continue like this, all of us are most likely going to suffer internal injuries sooner or later. I have a spatial immortal treasure that should be able to provide us with adequate shelter to weather the storm."
