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

"Fellow Daoist Sun? Weren't you killed by Lian Yan?" the black-robed young man exclaimed with a dumbstruck expression.

At the same time, an alarmed look appeared on the white-robed nun's face, and she hurriedly dodged to the side, just in the time to evade a thin streak of red light that glanced past her body.

Another streak of red light also appeared behind the black-robed young man, and it pierced through his chest, leaving behind a large hole.

Blood began to gush out of his mouth in an uncontrollable manner as he fell to the ground with his aura in a state of complete disarray.

Behind them, the red-robed woman lowered her hands in an expressionless manner, and there was still some red light glowing over her fingertips.

"You two were working together all along!" the white-robed nun exclaimed in a furious manner as she drew to a halt several thousand feet away.

"You're very alert, Celestial Maiden Yu. Unfortunately, you're already in my territory, so no matter how much you struggle, it'll only end in futility," Sun Chongshan said with a faint smile as he swept a sleeve through the air, and countless rays of dark red light instantly shot out of the six stone plaques around the plaza, then intertwined with one another to form a massive net that descended upon the white-robed nun.

At the same time, a menacing, ghostly face appeared on one of the stone plazas, and it opened its mouth to release a burst of dark red light to encompass the black-robed young man on the ground.

The black-robed young man was just about to struggle to his feet, but he was instantly immobilized as soon as the red light shone down upon him.

The white-robed nun's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and she began fleeing from the plaza as a purple lightning spirit domain erupted out of her body.

Countless arcs of purple lightning were swirling within the spirit domain like a vortex, with the lightning at the center of the vortex glowing particularly bright.

All of the purple lightning within the spirit domain converged toward the center of the vortex, forming a purple lightning sword that struck the net of dark red light up ahead with boundless power.

An opening was instantly sliced into the net, and the white-robed nun flew out of her spirit domain, aiming to flee the plaza through the opening.

"So you've already attained a spirit domain, but so what?" Sun Chongshan chuckled coldly as he extended a hand forward before clenching it into a tight fist, and the sky above shuddered as rays of dark red light shone down from above, forming a projection of a dark red mountain that came crashing down from the sky.

A burst of terrifying force descended from the heavens, instantly destroying the lightning spirit domain, while the white-robed nun was also stopped in her tracks before plummeting from the sky like a meteorite.

As soon as she landed on the plaza, a giant, ghostly face appeared on the stone plaque nearest to her as well, then opened its mouth to release a burst of dark red light to envelop her entire body, immobilizing her just like the black-robed young man.

Sun Chongshan descended onto the plaza, and the red-robed woman landed behind him.

At the moment, there was a very stiff and wooden look on her face, making her resemble a puppet, presenting a stark contrast with the spritely and seductive demeanor that she had displayed in the past.

"You planned all of this from the very beginning, didn't you, Sun Chongshan? What are your intentions?" the white-robed nun asked in a cold voice.

Sun Chongshan paid no heed to her as he swept a sleeve through the air, releasing a black storage tool and a green sword, both of which previously belonged to Lian Yan.

At the same time, the white-robed nun and the black-robed young man's storage tools were also drawn into his grasp, and after taking a moment to inspect their contents with his spiritual sense, an ecstatic look appeared on Sun Chongshan's face as he exclaimed, "This is a massive haul!"

"So you lured us in here to kill and rob us? Don't forget about the stringent regulations of the Sun Moon Flying Boat! The identities and numbers of all of the cultivators in every room must be verified upon boarding and disembarking. If you kill us here, we'll be found missing, and you'll have to answer to the Sun Moon Alliance!" the white-robed nun threatened.

"You don't have to worry about that, Celestial Maiden Yu. I won't kill you, I'm only going to be refining you into puppet spirits of this Eighty-onefold Yama Array. From the outside, you'll be indistinguishable from your normal selves," Sun Chongshan chuckled coldly as he made a hand seal, and a giant, ghostly face appeared on another stone plaque, then opened its mouth to release a burst of light that vanished into a certain part of the plaza.

Lian Yan's remains appeared there amid a flash of crimson light, following which it was drawn into the ghostly face's cavernous mouth.

The ghostly face chewed on Lian Yan's remains for a moment, then opened its mouth once again, and Lian Yan flew out from within.

His appearance and aura were completely identical to before, and only his wooden expression indicated that there was anything wrong with him. However, all he required was a slight disguise like the one adopted by the red-robed woman, and there would be no way to tell him apart from his normal self. 𐍂âɴȪʙΕs̩

"What do you think? Will the Sun Moon Alliance cultivators be able to tell?" Sun Chongshan asked with a triumphant smile, and looks of despair appeared on the faces of both the white-robed nun and the black-robed young man upon seeing this.

Right at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out across the plaza.

"That is indeed quite remarkable. My eyes have truly been opened."

"Who's there?" Sun Chongshan exclaimed as he hurriedly began inspecting his surroundings.

All of a sudden, the dark red light around the white-robed nun and the black-robed young man faded away, as did the dark red light emanating from the plaza and the stone plaques.

The white-robed nun and the black-robed young man hurriedly clambered to their feet before also looking around in bewilderment.

"This is impossible! This Yama Cauldron is mine! I've already completely refined it! How could it have been taken by someone else!" Sun Chongshan roared in an alarmed manner while frantically making a string of hand seals, but the surrounding space displayed no reaction.

"So Yama Cauldron is its name," Han Li remarked as he drifted down with Weeping Soul.

"It's you two! How dare you take my Yama Cauldron!" Sun Chongshan exclaimed at the sight of Han Li, then swept both sleeves through the air to release a flurry of items, most of which were powerful immortal treasures, interspersed with some offensive talismans, lightning beads, fire beads, and other one-time usage offensive treasures.

In response, Weeping Soul stepped forward and raised a hand, releasing a burst of black light to meet all of the oncoming immortal treasures and talismans.

The barrage of offensive treasures instantly slowed down to a crawl, as if they had plunged into a pit of quicksand, following which they flew obediently up her sleeve without posing any resistance.

"Who are you?!" Sun Chongshan exclaimed as his complexion turned deathly pale from fear, and the white-robed nun and the black-robed young man's expressions also changed drastically upon detecting Han Li and Weeping Soul's unfathomable auras.

"It's not everyday that I meet a Golden Immortal with such a vast collection of powerful treasures. Looks like you must've been robbing people for a very long time," Han Li remarked.

Sun Chongshan's complexion paled even further, and he began trembling uncontrollably.

"Thank you for saving us, seniors!"

The white-robed nun and the black-robed young man hurriedly stepped forward to offer their gratitude.

Han Li took a glance at the latter, then swept a sleeve through the air, and the black-robed young man instantly vanished, having been moved elsewhere.

The white-robed nun hurriedly lowered her head in a respectful manner upon seeing this.

Generally speaking, most vastly powerful cultivators had rather strange personalities, so she had to be extra careful not to cause any offense.

"What's your name?" Han Li asked as he strode over to the white-robed nun.

"My name is Yu Menghan," Yu Menghan hurriedly replied.

With that, Han Li's suspicions were confirmed.

"I can sense that you've ascended from a lower realm, is that right?"

Yu Menghan faltered slightly upon hearing this, then replied in a truthful manner, "You have a discerning eye like no other, Senior, I am indeed from a lower realm by the name of the Spirit Domain Realm."

"I knew it, I can sense the aura of the Spirit Domain Realm in you. I'm technically also from the Spirit Domain Realm, so I suppose we must've been fated to meet here. I can see that you have a great deal of lightning-attribute energy in your body, so you must've eaten some type of lightning-attribute spirit medicine, right?

“The cultivation art you're currently using is only going to squander the lightning-attribute energy in your body, so take this instead. It'll be my gift to you as a fellow cultivator of the Spirit Domain Realm."

Han Li pulled out a jade slip that contained a cultivation art from the Five Lightning True Mantra as he spoke.

Yu Menghan accepted the jade slip in a slightly dazed manner. She felt like there was something familiar about Han Li, but she couldn't recall where they could've possibly met before.

With another sweep of his sleeve, Yu Menghan was also evicted from the room.

"Wasn't that a friend of yours, Master? Why didn't you reveal your true appearance to her?" Weeping Soul asked through voice transmission.

"So many things have changed since we last met, so it won't do us or her any good for me to reveal my identity to her," Han Li replied with a shake of his head, then made his way over to Sun Chongshan.

"Please forgive me, Senior. I've done many heinous things in the past, but I can turn over a new leaf! I'm willing to offer this Yama Cauldron to you in exchange for my life!" Sun Chongshan pleaded as he fell to his knees and began kowtowing repeatedly to Han Li.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you, and what you've done in the past has nothing to do with me. I have a few questions for you, and if you answer them truthfully, I can spare your life," Han Li said.

He wasn't some warrior of justice, and he had also killed and looted more than his fair share of people in the past.

The only difference was that all of the people that he had killed had harbored ill will toward him, whereas Sun Chongshan was killing purely for greed.
