Chapter 943 -396: Stone Altar, Three Half-immortals_1

Beneath the peak of immortality, the cultivators gathered once again.

Without exception, disappointment was evident in everyone’s eyes as perceived by Han Yi, and he understood their sentiments. They came with excitement and covert plans, only to discover a desolated Immortal Spirit Realm that had been hollowed out long ago. It would be strange not to feel disappointed.

This was particularly true for Zhu Sui and a few other cultivators who had made a move.

Zhu Sui had borrowed a Half-Immortal Item, the Soul-breaking Sky Shuttle, from the Town Demon Immortal Sect, and an elderly cultivator at the phase of Spirit Transformation had lost half of the Soul Cauldron Golden Flame he had cultivated for many years. The hoarse-voiced youth had lost three Purple-Li Demon Insects.

This trip had not only failed to yield any profit, but they had also suffered a significant loss, hence their great disappointment.

“Hopefully, there will be some gains atop this peak,” said Zhu Sui, his tone casual but Han Yi sensed from his eyes that he didn’t hold much hope.

“Let’s go.”

Zhu Sui took the lead in flying upwards, and the rest of the cultivators followed.

Speaking of which.

Among the ten cultivators who accompanied them on this trip, there were three at the peak of Spirit Transformation: Zhu Sui, the burly man wielding a heavy saber, and the elderly cultivator with the Golden Cauldron, all of whom were at the Peak of Spirit Transformation. The remaining seven included four in the latter phase of Spirit Transformation, including Han Yi, and three in the middle stage of Spirit Transformation.

Such a lineup could be considered powerful. As long as they didn’t encounter a half-immortal, they could dominate within the Sin Trace Ancient Abyss. Even if they encountered a Half-Immortal, if it were only one, they could still make a stand with the use of a Half-Immortal Item.

Han Yi, like before, brought up the rear. Although the cultivators were not moving quickly, the Immortal Spirit Realm had already been visited by a wizard from the Eternal Life Immortal Realm, and those strange mists could still pose some trouble; thus, the cultivators remained cautious without discarding their vigilance.

As the ten cultivators ascended, Han Yi could sense the aura of death around them growing ever heavier.

Moments later, the group set foot on the summit of the peak, where there stood a vast and majestic palace.

“Everyone be cautious, after all, this used to be a residence of a true immortal, and there might be arrays and seals here,” Zhu Sui cautioned.

However, following their investigation of the main palace, all that remained on their faces was disappointment; the core of the main hall was desolate and empty, not even a shadow of the undead creatures that roamed the surrounding mountains could be seen.

Seeing this, the cultivators once again dispersed, each conducting their own investigation.

Han Yi began by examining a series of murals on the walls of the main hall, which depicted the growth of a cultivator, from a youthful newcomer to the Cultivation World, to a well-known Master Golden Core, to a dominating half-immortal, and finally ascending to immortality to become an official in the Immortal Court.

Despite the blurry depiction of the Immortal Court in the murals, Han Yi roughly guessed it to be the Lingxiao Immortal Court; after all, the Sin Trace Ancient Abyss led to the Western Void, where typically only the immortals from Lingxiao acted.

As for how this immortal encountered a wizard from the Eternal Life Immortal World and how they fell, no clues were present within this Immortal Spirit Realm.

Thereafter, Han Yi moved on to the side halls. Apart from the main hall, there were numerous side and rear halls in this grand palace.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he returned from the side hall to the rear one; after another incense stick had burned, he came back to the main hall without a hint of disappointment, but instead with an expression that held a faint hint of joy.

He had examined seventeen halls in total. While none contained Spiritual Items, much less Immortal Artifacts, he had discovered many ancient books and Jade Slips. Recorded within these were a wide array of topics ranging from geography, history, and humanities, to biographies and collections.

“Though different from my original goal, these too are gains; this trip wasn’t a loss after all,” Han Yi thought to himself. His interest in these ancient books and Jade Slips had grown significantly. He planned to spend some time perusing more information once he returned to the Xuancang Palace, focusing on the records about the Void, the Eternal Life Immortal Realm, the Wisdom Realm, and the Chaotic Demon Area.

This plunge into the Chaotic Demon Area had filled him with many questions. If he could find answers, it would give him a more thorough understanding of the Immortal Realm’s overall situation and the hidden truths of its history.

After returning to the main hall, Han Yi saw that Zhu Sui had already returned as well.

“Han, I’m sorry; I didn’t expect this trip to turn out like this,” Zhu Sui said with an expression showing his apology.

Han Yi responded, “There’s no need for that, nobody knew what the true Immortal Spirit Realm was like until we entered. Although we didn’t find anything significant, the trip broadened my horizons, and I consider that a gain as well. That’s enough for me.”

Zhu Sui, hearing Han Yi speak so, felt relieved and his fondness for Han Yi grew.

“By the way, Zhu, I don’t know much about the wizards of the Eternal Life Immortal Realm. How did they turn the Immortal Spirit Realm into what it is now?” Han Yi seized the opportunity to ask.

Zhu Sui explained, “The Eternal Life Immortal Realm is different from our Daluo Immortal Realm. Their mainstream cultivation system consists of wizards, who pursue truth, study the origins of life, and seek eternal life.”

“Because of their research, the Eternal Life Immortal Realm is home to countless strange entities. Those grayish dark mists we encountered when we passed through the true Immortal Spirit Realm are a type of tiny lifeforms that can devour spiritual power and are likely from the Eternal Life Immortal Realm. It’s just that I hadn’t thought of it before.”

“After entering, those Undead Skeletons in the palace are a species of the undead from the Eternal Life Immortal Realm.”

“Based on past experiences, finding undead creatures in a true Immortal Spirit Realm indicates that the realm has been scavenged by them. These beings exist on the boundary between life and death; they’re neither alive nor dead, unpredictable and mysterious. Their search for ‘spirit’ is so thorough they leave no stone unturned.”
