Chapter 1126: Volume 7: Across the Human World, Chapter 1122: Joining Forces
 

However, Han Li somewhat underestimated these maze-like passages. Although most of the restrictive formations and puppets were deactivated, the divine sense restrictions were still effective.

After taking numerous wrong turns and breaking through countless illusionary entrapments using his Brightsight Spirit Water, he finally found the transportation formation leading to the next level. No wonder even Man Huzi, with his dominating cultivation, had to humbly follow behind Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin and his companion; he had to keep his usual arrogance in check.

Of course, along the way, he managed to put away and restore the Five Devils and the puppet, and he split open several stone doors of treasure rooms that had not been activated with a single sword strike.

The result was that he neither encountered any treasures nor triggered any restrictive formations that transported him out.

It’s unknown whether it was because he didn’t use the Heavenvoid Map to open the stone doors or because the treasures were re-secured since it wasn’t the opening day of the Star Palace, causing even the time-space transportation restrictions to lose their effectiveness.

Han Li reluctantly searched every treasure room meticulously, but he had to admit that the Array Master who designed the formation arrays in the Star Palace was far beyond his imagination. Although he knew there were mysterious restrictive formations in these places, he still ended up with nothing.

He had to leave dejectedly, extinguishing his wild thoughts of sweeping the Star Palace’s treasures in one go.

Although this method was ineffective, generally the most important control arrays should be located at the core of the building. Naturally, the most crucial part of the Star Palace is the 5th level of the huge pagoda. Back then, Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin and the others were afraid of the restrictions on this level and only aimed to seize the Heavenvoid Cauldron, not daring to search this level thoroughly.

With his current cultivation and the Brightsight Spirit Water, he might be able to find something.

As for the Tenth Grade Ice Phoenix, it’s unknown where it has teleported using its spatial divine power, but Han Li was not at all worried that the witch could directly escape the huge pagoda, or even the Star Palace.

Because he had already checked the pagoda’s walls at one side meticulously. The restrictions attached to it amounted to more than a dozen types.

He couldn’t recognize most of them, but among the few he could, there were exactly those that specifically isolated the power of space. Unless one uses the special transportation formation within this palace, thinking of leaving the pagoda using similar spatial transference divine powers is purely a daydream.

Moreover, even with his current level of cultivation, he could still sense the terrifying and unfathomable nature of other restrictions on the pagoda walls. Otherwise, he would not need to look for any control arrays and could have just used his great divine power to break through the walls and leave this place.

After passing through two levels of transportation, Han Li finally reached the 5th level of the huge pagoda and appeared in front of the stone platform where the Heavenvoid Cauldron was originally taken.

It’s also worth mentioning that the Great Elders of the Minor Extreme Palace through the generations are also called after Han Li, forming another link between the Minor Extreme Palace and the Star Palace.

However, the steps of the platform from which the Heavenvoid Cauldron had been taken were already damaged and incomplete, retaining the marks left by the fierce battle between Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin, Wan Tianming, and their fellows that day.

Somewhat unexpectedly to Han Li, a woman in a silver robe was also standing on the high platform, staring at the altar from that day, with a contemplative expression on her face.

Her presence was clearly disturbed by Han Li’s arrival.

She turned around indifferently for a glance at Han Li, then suddenly her figure blurred and turned into a streak of crystal rainbow flying past the stone platform, swiftly disappearing into the many green stone passageways.

Han Li quietly watched the woman flee, without any intention of stopping her. Only after her streak of light was truly out of sight, did he leisurely return to the altar, peeked into the cave where the Heavenvoid Cauldron was taken from, and began to look for clues about the control array around the entire stone platform.

Before long, Han Li finally confirmed that there indeed were no traces of the control array on the promised platform, hence, he began to slowly expand his search area from this platform as the center.

But whether the control array was extremely hidden, or Han Li had not yet found the place, he achieved nothing for a long time.

Days went by, and the 5th level was marked with traces of Han Li’s search everywhere, but after more than half a month, other than his complexion becoming increasingly gloomy, there was still no trace of a control array to be found.

One day, when Han Li came out of a corner with nothing as usual, he leaned against a nearby stone pillar and involuntarily fell into a daze on the spot.

Could it be that the control array of the Void Spirit Hall was not on this level, but in the other four?

Han Li started to mutter to himself.

As he was caught in a fluctuating mood, suddenly a white light flashed nearby and a “hiss” sound of space tearing came. The figure of the woman in the silver robe subsequently appeared.

Han Li’s gaze sharpened, fixing on the woman without uttering a word.

He did not believe that this witch would come to him for no reason; he was curious to hear her intentions.

After all, during these days, the woman had not appeared on the 5th level, possibly exploring other levels for an exit.

“How is it, Fellow Daoist Han, have you found a way out?” the woman in the silver robe asked leisurely.

“If I had found it, why would I still be here? Judging by your tone, do you have some discoveries?” Han Li replied calmly. It’s as if there had never been any unpleasantness between him and this woman before.

“I have already taken a look around here broadly. To force a breakout with brute strength, it would require at least two or three Deity Transformation stage cultivators to work together. Right now, there are only the two of us here, so this is an unthinkable matter,” the woman in the silver robe said slowly, her bright autumn-colored eyes flowing.

“You don’t need to tell me this; I already know it,” Han Li was moved inside, but he looked indifferent on the surface.

“Hmph! Are you not looking for the control Array here?” the woman in the silver robe asked impatiently, her phoenix eyes flashing as she coldly snorted.

“Control Array, indeed I am searching for it. Does Fairy of White Phoenix have any advice to give?” Han Li’s expression shifted slightly as he readily admitted.

“That’s good enough. I have found that control Array, but leaving here is not so simple. Moreover, before that, I have two questions for you. What is the relationship between this place and Fairy Bing Po? And is the small cauldron in your hand the Heavenvoid Cauldron?” The woman from Yin mountain took a deep breath, her expression suddenly becoming stern.

“Fairy Bing Po! Who is she? As for that small cauldron, if Fellow Daoist says it is the Heavenvoid Cauldron, then it must be!” Han Li was initially startled, then he chuckled ambiguously.

Upon hearing this, the woman in the silver robe glared at Han Li, her eyes flashing a cold light. It was quite a while before she spoke again:

“Fairy Bing Po was an ancient expert who created the Celestial Ice Flame, and she is also the founding Martial Ancestor of the Minor Extreme Palace! By your look, it seems you really know nothing about this. However, it is better to be clear about the affair of the Heavenvoid Cauldron. If you do have the Heavenvoid Cauldron, it is necessary to activate that control Array. If not, you are of no use at all. There would be no need for me to tell you!”

Surprise flickered in Han Li’s eyes, but after a brief moment of thought, he no longer hesitated and said:

“Since Fellow Daoist has spoken thus, there is nothing worth concealing. Yes, that object is indeed the Heavenvoid Cauldron! May I know where exactly is the control Array?”

“Very well. Since you have admitted it, come with me. This time, if we want to leave this place, we must join hands just this once. Before we leave, it’s best to set aside any grievances between us; otherwise, neither of us will be able to leave this place alone,” the woman in the silver robe replied with exceptional composure, showing no surprise at Han Li’s answer. She then moved swiftly, transforming into a streak of crystal light heading straight toward a certain bluestone passage.

Han Li frowned, but he couldn’t afford to overthink it and immediately transformed into a streak of blue rainbow, chasing closely behind.

However, merely moments after flying, Han Li revealed a surprised expression.

Because the leading crystal light was clearly heading towards the Han Li platform. He had searched there countless times; how could there still be something undiscovered.

However, the woman transformed from the Ice Phoenix showed no intention of stopping, forcing Han Li to suppress the surprise in his heart and continue the pursuit.

After the time it took for a meal, the crystal light finally circled above the high platform before landing on the altar, its light converging, revealing the graceful figure of the woman from Yin mountain.

“Lady Feng, are you sure you’ve found the right place. Is the control Array really here?” Han Li, after landing on the platform, couldn’t help but ask.

“Found the wrong place? Hehe, I could find that control Array here even with my eyes closed,” the woman in the silver robe said disdainfully.

“What does that mean? Could it be that Fellow Daoist has been here before?” Han Li was shocked.

“How could I have been here before! However, there’s a place on Ice Abyss Island, where our Ice Phoenix Clan resides, that is exactly similar to this stone platform. Speaking of which, the treasured cauldron you are holding also has some connection to our Ice Phoenix Clan,” the woman in the silver robe said with a cold laugh.

Then without waiting for Han Li to show a surprised expression, she suddenly rose and hovered, her hands swiftly pressing heavily multiple times towards empty spots above the altar.

Instantly, several sounds of ceramics shattering came from the void, and several blinding white points appeared out of thin air. These points of light trembled violently, expanding rapidly, and in a blink of an eye transformed into half-wheel-sized, red-hot white suns, flickering simultaneously in the air, and finally merging together into a huge spinning light ball.

Han Li pursed his lips and made no attempt to hide the shock on his face.

The woman in the silver robe glanced at Han Li, then expressionlessly continued casting spells, her fingers flicking swiftly, sending strings of Incantations into the light ball, disappearing without a trace.

Eventually, the huge light ball exploded with a loud sound, turning into several snow-white formation flags.

Each one was about five to six feet long, embroidered with arcane patterns of silver-gold talisman characters.

These formation flags merely spun in the void, transforming into several blindingly dazzling white rainbows that shot out in all directions, then flashed and disappeared into the ground without a trace.

Seeing this, Han Li’s gaze flickered continuously, and a faint realization appeared on his face.

And just at that moment, the entire Han Li platform emitted a thunderous noise, and after a violent tremor, a gigantic Array almost covering the entire stone platform emerged around the altar, with colorful spiritual lights flickering non-stop on it.
