Chapter 1009: Volume 6 Heavenly Skill Spiritual Treasures Chapter 1005 The Giant, the Palace, and the Five Elements Reversal Formation Chapter 1009: Volume 6 Heavenly Skill Spiritual Treasures Chapter 1005 The Giant, the Palace, and the Five Elements Reversal Formation Besides being covered with Daoist paper talismans and chains, the vicinity of this huge creature was also scattered with thousands of palm-sized copper mirrors, emitting yellow hazy light pillars that formed a strange formation, intricately interweaving and flashing, perfectly trapping the massive creature within.
In the entire space occupied by the giant creature, there were layers upon layers of restrictive formations, endless like waves, flickering with faint spiritual light.
And this creature, resembling the shape of a small mountain, remained unchanged, as if it were a lifeless object-if not for occasional slight undulations on its body surface, anyone would think it to be dead.
In contrast, the neighboring space presented a completely different world.
There, verdant and lush, it was covered with bizarre flowers and strange grasses, with spiritual energy so abundant it left one speechless.
And right in the middle of this place, reminiscent of an Immortal Realm, stood a gorgeous palace hundreds of meters wide.
From a distance, the palace seemed utterly quiet, as if devoid of all life.
Yet, if one were to look down from above the palace, it would become apparent that the palace was built right in the center of a giant formation, with eighty-one altars each about ten meters high constructed around it, distributed throughout the formation.
The most astonishing thing was that each altar enshrined a white jade stone golem that was several meters high.
These stone golems, each clad in golden armor and clasping unknown golden giant blades with both hands facing the palace, bore a solemn expression as if they were alive.
But all of this was eerily silent; whether it was the palace or the stone golems, it seemed they had existed for countless tens of thousands of years.
It appeared exceedingly mysterious and bizarre!
At this moment, somewhere in Kunwu Mountain where the Purple Forbidden Seven Stars Great Array was laid, the Array was booming and exploding incessantly-the critical moment to dismantle the formation had arrived.
Seven purple beams shot up into the sky through an endless purple fog, from which came deep thundering sounds, and thick bolts of lightning intermittently shot out from the surfaces of the beams, striking various parts of the formation.

The fog had already become so dense that one could not see their own hand, and it intermittently carried disturbing cries of ghosts and howls of wolves.
Surrounded by swirling golden light, Han Li’s expression remained unchanged as he slowly approached one of the beams, while huge grey pythons transformed from the surrounding purple fog tried to approach him, but were instantly sliced into several sections by the golden light and dispersed back into fog.
However, seeing this situation, Han Li’s face still held no trace of joy.
More purple pythons immediately transformed from the mist and lunged at him.
On the other hand, the silver-white lightning bolts continuously striking down from above, no matter how thick, did not concern him at all.
Whenever a silver arc was about to hit him, he would simply swing an arm wrapped in golden lightning into the air, and all the lightning bolts would instantly be diverted to the side, unable to harm him in the slightest.
Suddenly, two barely audible buzzing sounds came from behind.
Han Li’s eyebrows furrowed, and without turning his head, he flicked his hand backward and two slender golden arcs shot out.
After two loud cracks, a scent of char followed immediately.
Only then did Han Li turn his head to glance back, seeing two fist-sized huge mountains plunging down from the low sky, their bodies charred black.
These huge mountains not only had staggering shapes, but their entire bodies were marked with dazzling yellow patterns, and the venomous spurs on their backs were three inches long, enough to make one shudder.
But such spirit bugs, Han Li had already exterminated at least three or four dozen of them in the mist.
Aside from a few initially slain with flying swords, the rest of the mountains were dispatched with Devilbane Lightning.
It wasn’t that he had an excess of lightning to squander, but rather these mountains presented a bit of a challenge initially.
Although he didn’t know exactly how deadly the venomous spurs on their tails were, he discovered that their green bug blood was extremely corrosive.
When his flying sword inadvertently came into contact with it, its surface immediately became pitted and even its spirit suffered some damage.
Therefore, Han Li no longer wished to use his flying sword against these mountains, but since these creatures also resisted low-level spells like fireballs or ice awls, using golden lightning to kill them one by one was necessary.
Fortunately, although there were many mountains, they had no resistance whatsoever against Devilbane Lightning, almost instantly killed upon contact.
Han Li had not consumed much of his Divine Thunder either.
Besides these fist-sized mountains, there were also a few entirely blood-red odd bats attacking Han Li in the purple fog.
Aside from their color, these bats looked no different from ordinary ones.
However, when he slashed at the bats with his flying sword, the light from the sword wasn’t enough to kill the bats; it was only after the body of the flying sword itself passed through that the bats’ bodies were cut open after a slight pause.
This took Han Li by surprise.
Especially since the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, infused with Auric Essence, had become exceptionally sharp, capable of slicing through lesser flying swords as if they were grass.
But killing these bats proved to be challenging, indicating the extraordinary hardness of their bodies.
Both the huge bees and the blood bats were among the most common spirit insects and beasts within the realm of immortal cultivators.
However, the fact that they had been nurtured to be so formidable showed an unknown amount of painstaking effort had been put into them.
Now, set up here uncontrolled to complement the Array, their power was not even half utilized.
It appeared that the sect masters ahead were truly sparing no expense to buy time.
Considering all this, he was now only a dozen or so meters away from the purple beam in front.
It seemed that with just a few more steps, he could destroy the subsequent beam.
However, at this moment, the purple giant bamboo that had disappeared since Han Li entered the array now appeared around the light column, then blurred and rapidly expanded outward, instantly surrounding Han Li within a dense thicket of bamboo shadows.
The light column, which had been very close, turned into green smoke and disappeared without a trace.
Near these light columns, illusionary restrictive formations were also set up.
Han Li was initially startled, then he smirked and chuckled lightly.
As long as it was not the ancient illusionary beast’s peak transformative techniques that he had encountered once, how could ordinary illusionary tricks confine him?
Without hesitation, a glint of blue light flashed in Han Li’s pupils, and in an instant, the purple bamboo in front of him turned back into a mirage, and the light column reappeared in its original location.
With a flick of his sleeve, seven or eight golden flying swords shot out, circled in the air, and suddenly ignited into a golden giant sword with a sonorous ring.
A thick, bright, golden blade light chopped down at the base of the light column.
A loud “boom” reverberated as the base shattered, causing the light column to vanish instantly.
Almost simultaneously, both the illusions and actual restrictive formations within the purple mist bamboo grove around Han Li disappeared, clearing a large area of a hundred feet in radius and revealing clusters of white jade bricks on the ground.
Looking down, Han Li casually raised his eyebrows and then lifted his head to peer into the distance covered by the purple mist.
Only three out of the other six light columns remained, with two others destroyed, seemingly ahead of his own efforts.
Han Li fell silent for a while, showing no intent to destroy the other light columns, but instead, he took out a Spirit Stone and sat down cross-legged.
Seizing this opportunity, he needed to contemplate the strategies for dealing with the ancient devilish techniques that might appear.
Given the large cultivators and demons gathered in this mountain, even with the Three Flame Fan and a Deity Transformation stage puppet, one misstep could pose a great threat to his life.
While recovering his mana, Han Li’s eyes flickered as he thought.
After an unknown amount of time, Han Li suddenly reached into his storage pouch on his waist and pulled out a blurred rectangular item-it was the miniaturized Crystal Stele he had found in the Kunwu Mountain stele.
This object was indeed hidden exceedingly well!
Despite his powerful Divine Sense, he had not detected this item after staring at the stele for a long time.
Having not been for the Earth Armor Dragon’s natural ability to recognize treasures, he would never have discovered it.
The Crystal Stele itself was also peculiar.
While it seemed to be made from an unknown quality material entirely refined, it was incredibly heavy unless infused with Spiritual Energy.
Once infused, it became as light as air.
However, these qualities still weren’t what most intrigued Han Li.
What he cared about most were the rows of mysterious ancient scripts engraved on the stele.
Although these ancient characters were from ancient times, Han Li was completely unfamiliar with them, as they had never been recorded in any known scriptures.
Still, even so, from the shapes and formations of these ancient characters, Han Li could assert that they originated from an era even before the so-called “ancient times” he was familiar with-a genuine ancient relic and undeniably a rare and valuable treasure.
Han Li weighed the Crystal Stele in his hand, then sighed and with a flicker of radiance in his hand, he stowed it away.
Just then, two successive sounds came from the array in the distance as two more light columns were destroyed.
The last remaining light column dimmed and vanished on its own without the need for Han Li and others to intervene.
Thus, the once formidable sect-wide formation was finally dismantled with their combined efforts.
Once all the purple mist and illusions had disappeared, other figures materialized, but suddenly a furious voice of Qian the devil echoed through the air:
“Where are those four from the Poison Holy Gate?
They recognized this formation and slipped through quietly!”
Han Li glanced around and indeed found no trace of the four elders from Poison Holy Gate.
“Humph!
It’s not just them,” the large man in the Deity Transformation stage cursed angrily, “that sneaky Zheng Wei has also disappeared.
Just as I suspected, he was up to no good from the start.”
“No wonder those few suddenly left us behind.
Look ahead,” Bai Yaoyi sighed and pointed her jade finger forward.
The others then noticed that at one end of the square they were sitting on, there were several stone steps leading in different directions.
“It seems that these individuals felt that as long as they didn’t choose the same path as the cultivators ahead, or if the group split up, they would be able to handle themselves alone.
That’s why they slipped away alone, trying to monopolize something,” an elderly man surnamed Fu said, frowning.
“Hmph, it’s just as well,” Qian the devil quickly regained his composure, “I’ve long wished to act alone.
Anyone who dares obstruct my treasure collection will face my wrath.”
Following that, five white shadows flitted about, stopping two or three times in front of each jade medallion, inspecting all the steles.
Then, without hesitation, the five white shadows converged and whizzed towards the stone steps marked with ‘Kunwu Hall.’
