194: Immortal Edict and the Complete Form of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain

Five Dragon Sea, beneath an unnamed deserted island.

This was the place where Zhou Wannian (Han Li) had been in seclusion for five years. That battle five years ago had completely established his position as the "number one person in the Human Realm." The entire Great Jin cultivation world trembled at the mention of his name, and even Soul Transformation monsters like Xiang Zhili had to politely call him "Fellow Daoist Han" upon meeting him.

But Zhou Wannian did not let it go to his head.

He knew that compared to those great experts in the Spirit Realm who were at the Void Refining or Body Integration stages, his prestige in the Human Realm was merely that of a "mountain king."

"Buzz—"

In the center of the secret chamber, a miniature mountain peak about a hundred zhang high, pitch-black all over with Silver Tadpole Script flowing on its surface, was suspended in mid-air.

This was the ultimate Magic Treasure that Zhou Wannian had spent five years of painstaking effort to create, combining the immortal Artifact Refining techniques from the golden palace jade book with the yuan ci divine peak, black void meteoric iron, and top-tier Five Elements Materials scavenged from the Five Dragon Sea—

The Yuan Ci Five Elements Mountain.

"Go."

Zhou Wannian sat cross-legged, his hands forming incantation gestures as he uttered an obscure syllable.

It was the "Heavy" Character Decree from the Silver Tadpole Script.

Boom!

The small mountain shook slightly.

With just this single tremor, the space around it, which had been reinforced by the Inverted Five Elements Formation, instantly collapsed into countless fine black cracks.

That pure mass and gravity had already exceeded the limits that the Laws of this realm could withstand.

"What a fine treasure."

A flash of wild joy crossed Zhou Wannian's eyes.

"After integrating the immortal Talisman 'Giant Spirit Decree,' the weight of this mountain peak has increased more than a hundredfold. Now, even without activating the Yuan Ci Divine Light, just smashing it down would instantly turn the Physical Body of an Early Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator into a meat patty."

"More importantly..."

With a thought from Zhou Wannian.

Five-colored rays of light suddenly emerged on the surface of the originally pitch-black mountain peak.

The Five Elements flowed, endlessly cycling.

This was not just an offensive Magic Treasure, but also a perfect supreme defensive treasure. It could automatically absorb the Five Elements Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth to form a barrier called the "Absolute Five Elements Domain."

"With it, I have a ninety percent certainty of withstanding the spatial storms during Ascension."

Zhou Wannian waved his sleeve, taking this incredibly heavy divine mountain into his Dantian for nurturing.

"Husband."

The door to the secret chamber opened.

Dressed in purple, Purple Spirit walked in, her aura even more cold and ethereal. At this moment, her Spiritual Pressure was dense and thick; she had actually broken through the Bottleneck and formed her Nascent Soul!

"Congratulations." Zhou Wannian stood up with a smile and took her hand.

"It's all thanks to the 'nine-bend spirit ginseng' and 'Creation Pill' you gave me, husband," Purple Spirit's eyes were full of affection, "and Sister Liu's help."

Speaking of Liu Shuier, a blue light flashed.

Liu Shuier appeared at the door. She looked at Zhou Wannian with a somewhat complex expression. Over these five years, although she was an ally in name, after witnessing Zhou Wannian's various Heaven-Defying methods, she had long since abandoned any ulterior motives and honestly acted as a "manager."

"Brother Han, it's time."

Liu Shuier pointed toward the ceiling.

"The remnant map from the Tianji Pavilion has reacted."

...Above the deserted island.

In the once clear sky, a massive five-colored vortex had appeared at some point.

In the center of the vortex, a mirage of jade buildings and towers was faintly visible, and a surge of "Origin Qi" dozens of times purer than that of the Human Realm was seeping out from within.

The Guanghan Realm Gate.

"So this is the entrance to the Guanghan Realm..."

Zhou Wannian took a deep breath, and the Nascent Soul within his body let out a joyful tremor.

"As expected of a Small World attached to the Spirit Realm, this concentration of Spiritual Qi is what a place for cultivation should be like."

"Let's go."

Zhou Wannian wasted no words.

"Tie Zhu, activate 'Wide-range Detection Mode'."

"Purple Spirit, stay close to me."

"Palace Mistress Liu, lead the way."

The three transformed into three streaks of light, and braving the terrifying spatial tearing force within the vortex (which felt like a gentle breeze to the current Zhou Wannian), they charged directly into the five-colored tunnel... After a bout of dizziness.

When Zhou Wannian opened his eyes again, the scene before him had completely changed.

It was no longer the vast ocean.

Instead, it was a massive landmass floating in the Void Realm. Two giant moons (one red and one blue) hung in the sky, and giant trees thousands of zhang tall and strange mountain-sized flowers grew on the ground.

"So this is the Guanghan Realm..."

Zhou Wannian's Divine Sense instantly spread out.

However, in the next moment, his brow furrowed slightly.

"There are people."

"And... they aren't from the Human Realm."

At the edge of his Divine Sense perception, about a thousand li away above some ruins, a giant warship of strange design, built entirely of bone and metal, was stationed.

A flag embroidered with a giant bull horn fluttered on the warship.

"That is..." Liu Shuier took a look, her expression changing slightly.

"That's the emblem of the 'Jiao Chi Clan' from the Spirit Realm!"

"The Jiao Chi Clan is a super-large tribe in the Spirit Realm, powerful and extremely warlike. Why would they appear in the Guanghan Realm?"

"It's simple."

Zhou Wannian said indifferently.

"The Guanghan Realm is a meeting point between the Spirit Realm and the Lower Realm. Since we can enter, people from the Spirit Realm can naturally enter through some means (Descent Spells or suppressing their cultivation) to search for treasures."

"Just as well."

A sharp light flashed in Zhou Wannian's eyes.

"I'm still completely in the dark about the situation in the Spirit Realm."

"This 'tour guide' who delivered themselves to my door shouldn't be wasted."

...A thousand li away, at the ancient ruins.

This seemed to be the medicine garden of an ancient Sect. Although the Restriction was broken, many Spirit Medicines that had long been extinct in the outside world still grew inside.

At this time, the Jiao Chi Clan warship was suspended above the medicine garden.

On the deck stood a group of tall alien Cultivators with single horns on their heads and bronze-colored skin. Each of them exuded a heart-palpitating aura; although their cultivation was suppressed to the Early Stage of Soul Transformation (due to realm suppression), their comprehension of Laws and physical strength from a higher realm far exceeded those of the Human Realm's Soul Transformation Cultivators.

"Young Lord, the Restriction on this medicine garden is about to be broken."

An old man said respectfully to a youth in golden armor with a golden horn in the center.

That youth (the Jiao Chi Clan Young Lord) had an arrogant expression, playing with a long whip flickering with lightning.

"Hmph, a mere Lower Realm ruin. If it weren't for that 'mature-stage Void Heaven Grass,' this Young Lord wouldn't bother descending to such a spiritually barren ghost of a place."

"Be quick! Take the things and leave, don't delay me from going to compete with those trash from the 'Thirteen Tribes of Tianyun' for the 'zhenchan liquid'."

"Yes!"

Just then.

"Beep—"

The warning Formation on the warship suddenly let out a piercing alarm.

"Hmm? Something is approaching?"

The Golden-Horned Young Lord frowned, "Is it a native Yao Beast of this realm? Or those human ants who snuck in?"

"Reporting to the Young Lord! There are only three people! Two females and one male! Their cultivation... is roughly at the Nascent Soul Stage?"

"Nascent Soul Stage?"

The Golden-Horned Young Lord sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

"This kind of trash dares to approach this Young Lord's warship?"

"Send two people to kill the male and bring the females back to be my Cauldron. Although the female Cultivators of this Lower Realm have low cultivation, their flavor is quite unique."

"As you command!"

Two Jiao Chi Clan warriors flew out of the warship with cruel smiles, turning into two streaks of light and charging toward the horizon... A hundred li away.

Zhou Wannian was flying unhurriedly with the two women.

Suddenly, two fierce auras rushed toward them.

"Ants of the Lower Realm! Meeting the Jiao Chi Clan's heavenly soldiers, why haven't you knelt and accepted your death?!"

Before the two Jiao Chi Clan warriors even arrived, the giant axes in their hands had already cleaved out two hundred-zhang-long axe-lights, carrying the power to tear through the Void Realm.

"Heavenly soldiers?"

Zhou Wannian stopped his light, looking at the two axe-lights.

"It seems our friends from the Spirit Realm aren't very friendly."

He didn't move.

Only the Ti Hun Beast (complete form Xing Beast) on his shoulder let out a yawn.

"Roar!"

The Ti Hun Beast's body swelled rapidly with the wind, transforming into a hundred-zhang giant ape, and swiped its palm.

"Clang! Clang!"

The two seemingly powerful axe-lights were directly shattered by the giant ape's palm.

Then, the giant ape's furry hand grabbed out, catching the two stunned Jiao Chi Clan warriors like little chicks.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

The two were shocked and were about to activate secret techniques to break free.

"Suck!"

The Ti Hun Beast's signature large nose took a deep breath.

Two pale yellow essence souls were forcibly pulled out from their bodies.

"Munch munch."

The Ti Hun Beast swallowed the souls and casually threw the two empty-shell corpses into the sea (the sea within the Guanghan Realm).

Instant kill.

"The taste is a bit bland."

Zhou Wannian commented (through their mental link).

"It seems they were just two small fries."

He looked up at the warship in the distance.

"Since I've beaten the dogs, the master should be coming out now, right?"

...On the warship.

The Golden-Horned Young Lord's face instantly darkened.

"Xing Beast?! How can there be a Xing Beast in the Lower Realm?!"

Although he was arrogant, he wasn't stupid. A being that could instantly kill two of his Early Stage Soul Transformation (after suppression) subordinates was definitely not an ordinary Nascent Soul.

"It seems we've encountered a tough nut from the Lower Realm."

Killing intent surged in the Golden-Horned Young Lord's eyes.

"Very well! This Young Lord just happens to be lacking a high-level Spirit Beast mount!"

"All forces attack! Activate the 'Jiao Chi Battle Formation'!"

"Blast that man to death! Capture that Xing Beast alive!"

Rumble!

All the Spiritual Light Cannon ports on the warship turned their direction, and dozens of light beams capable of destroying heaven and earth locked onto Zhou Wannian.

Simultaneously, over a dozen Jiao Chi Clan experts formed a battle Formation, pressing forward with a surge of primeval Battle Intent.

Facing this kind of display.

Both Liu Shuier and Purple Spirit's expressions changed slightly.

"Husband..."

"No matter."

Zhou Wannian stood in the Void Realm, facing the sky full of cannon fire and the surging alien army.

He gently raised his right hand.

In his palm, a miniature five-colored mountain slowly rotated.

"A great tribe of the Spirit Realm, is it?"

"A strong Physical Body, is it?"

"Today, I'll teach you..."

"What it means to 'overpower ten skills with a single strength'."

Zhou Wannian flipped his wrist.

"Go."

That small mountain flew out from his hand.

It expanded rapidly with the wind.

One zhang... a hundred zhang... a thousand zhang... ten thousand zhang!

In the blink of an eye, a primordial divine mountain that blotted out the sun appeared above everyone's heads.

Five-colored rays of light flowed, and Silver Tadpole Script flickered.

A terrifying gravity that made the entire space of the Guanghan Realm let out a groan of being overwhelmed instantly descended.

"Yuan Ci Five Elements Mountain: Suppress!"

Boom!!!

There were no fancy Spell exchanges.

Only the purest, most primitive, and most unsolvable physical strike.

The ten-thousand-zhang divine mountain was like a falling star, ruthlessly smashing toward the Jiao Chi Clan warship.

"No!!! What kind of Magic Treasure is this?!"

The Golden-Horned Young Lord looked up in terror at the massive mountain base that filled his entire vision, feeling the despairing gravity that made him unable to even move a finger.

"Block it! Block it quickly!!!"

All the light beams, all the Magic Treasures, and all the secret techniques were like fragile fireworks in front of the divine mountain.

"Thump!"

A muffled sound.

The world went quiet.

That once-unbeatable warship, along with the Golden-Horned Young Lord and over a dozen experts.

Like a fly, they were slapped into the depths of the earth by the Buddha Tathagata's Five Finger Mountain.

The dust settled.

Zhou Wannian beckoned.

The divine mountain shrank and flew back.

On the ground, only a giant five-fingered print-shaped pit a thousand zhang deep remained.

And at the bottom of the pit.

Amidst a pile of scrap metal and mangled meat.

Only a single golden horn remained, still stubbornly flickering with a faint light.

"Tsk."

Zhou Wannian shook his head.

"The quality of these Spirit Realm warships isn't that great after all."

"Purple Spirit, go clean up the battlefield."

"Remember to pick up that golden horn; that's a top-tier Artifact Refining material."
