Chapter 1001: Mount Kunwu Palace, Spirit Treasure Pavilion, Demon-Suppressing Tower

"So Fellow Daoist Han is from Tiannan. Your local cultivators are rarely seen in our Great Jin. However, regardless of the reason, since you killed an elder of the Yin Luo Sect and took the Ghost Luo Banner, this grievance is not easy to resolve," Hua Hua Tianqi said with a look of surprise near the stone pavilion.

He had just finished listening to the old man surnamed Fu's general account, and he was truly shocked inside.

Others were also in a stir, all looking at Han Li with strange expressions. Tiannan was truly too far away for them. In the eyes of the Great Jin cultivation world, it was almost a place not worth mentioning. That a person from there had actually provoked the Yin Luo Sect made these people all feel curious.

"I was just protecting myself. If the Yin Luo Sect elder hadn't actively sought trouble with me, how would I have encountered this matter?" Han Li said calmly.

"Alright! Regardless of that, you three fellow Daoists have been here for a period of time, so you should know where this mountain is, right?" The Nascent Soul stage man seemed completely uninterested in the matters between Han Li and Old Demon Qian, and asked somewhat impatiently.

"I do know some things. This place is the legendary Mount Kunwu Fairy Mountain of Great Jin!" Han Li's gaze flickered, and he replied calmly.

"Mount Kunwu Mountain!" The several Nascent Soul cultivators were stunned, then overjoyed. Old Demon Qian was also shocked inside upon hearing this.

The four elders of the Poison Saint Sect had long known about this, and at this moment, they just exchanged glances.

"In that case, someone has already run ahead of us. I don't know how many cultivators there are or which faction they belong to. But since they could open such a large seal, their strength must be extraordinary. Brother Qian, regardless of what conflicts you and the three Fellow Daoists have, now is not the time for fighting. Why don't we join forces to drive that group of people out of this mountain, and then divide the treasures of Mount Kunwu Mountain according to our own opportunities? As for your grievances with Fellow Daoist Han, we can find another opportunity after leaving this mountain," Hua Hua Tianqi swept his gaze over the five white shadows and said.

"Join forces?" Old Demon Qian fell silent upon hearing this.

The five people who had temporarily joined forces, upon hearing this, were moved, and their lips moved as they discussed through sound transmission.

Seeing this, the old man surnamed Fu and Bai Bai Yaoyi breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were confident that joining forces wouldn't lose to Old Demon Qian, they naturally didn't want to fight such an inexplicable hard battle.

No one noticed that Han Li's eyebrows twitched inadvertently. He sighed slightly inside.

Seeing that he couldn't take action, his plan to obtain the method to break the Soul-Sealing Curse seemed to have to wait for another opportunity.

Thinking of this, Han Li looked up at the place where Hua Hua Tianqi and the others had emerged, and asked:

"Fellow Daoist Hua, after the illusion array self-destructed, how was the seal entrance destroyed? Is it still possible to enter or exit from there?"

"How is it? Fellow Daoist Han, why don't you go and see for yourself. I dare not say for a long time, but at least for a short time, this passage is impassable," Hua Hua Tianqi sighed and said without concealment.

Han Li pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then flew toward the light curtain without ceremony.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the silver light without a trace.

Concerned about their own situation, the old man surnamed Fu and Bai Bai Yaoyi also looked over.

As a result, after only a moment, Han Li emerged from the silver light with a gloomy expression, and after meeting the gazes of the old man and Bai Bai Yaoyi, he shook his head.

"It is indeed impassable. However, it seems it won't take long to recover. During this period, let's explore this mountain first," Han Li said plainly.

The following events were very simple.

Even though Old Demon Qian was arrogant, knowing that this place was the famous Mount Kunwu Mountain, he finally gave up the idea of taking action now. Having the opportunity to enter such a cave-heaven treasure land, he didn't want to return empty-handed, so he reluctantly agreed to temporarily put aside the grievances with Han Li.

The five people who had temporarily joined forces, after discussion, also agreed to join forces without hesitation.

"With us joining forces, even if that group of people are cultivators from the ten great sects, we can still contend with them. Let's go immediately. Don't let those people take the treasures first," as soon as everyone agreed to join forces, Hua Hua Tianqi shouted, taking the other Poison Saint Sect elders and flying toward the mountain along the stone staircase.

Old Demon Qian snorted, the five white shadows flashing with gray light, and followed closely behind.

Han Li and the others also followed silently.

On the other side, the Ye family cultivators had already arrived at that white jade square.

This square was a hundred acres in size, the ground paved with crystalline, pure white, high-quality jade, and surrounded by ten-zhang-high white jade pillars. Each jade pillar was carved with rare spirit beasts and fairy birds, lifelike, making people feel solemn upon seeing them.

However, the Ye family cultivators didn't even glance at these jade pillars, but gathered at the other end of the square.

There, in front of each stone staircase extending from the square, stood tall jade steles, each inscribed with place names like "Gold-Stone Pavilion," "Auspicious Cloud Palace," "Strange Spirit Courtyard," etc., making the Ye family cultivators frown and guess incessantly.

"Gold-Stone Pavilion doesn't need to be asked; it must be a place to store materials. Auspicious Cloud Palace, the name sounds somewhat ethereal; it's estimated not to be a place for quiet cultivation, nor an important place. Strange Spirit Courtyard looks like..." a Ye family cultivator analyzed slowly while looking.

Others listened and nodded, feeling it made great sense.

"Therefore, the only places most likely to store the Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure are these three: the Mount Kunwu Palace in the middle, the Spirit Treasure Pavilion next to it, and the Demon-Suppressing Tower on the side," the Ye family cultivator finally selected three paths.

The scholar and the big-headed freak didn't say anything, but pondered silently, clearly considering whether what this Ye family elder said was correct.

"Mount Kunwu Palace goes without saying; it must be the core of this mountain. And Spirit Treasure Pavilion, just by the name, is a place where ancient cultivators stored treasures; it's not strange for Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasures to be stored there. As for the last Demon-Suppressing Tower, it should be a place where ancient cultivators suppressed demons. Considering the strange situation of this mountain being sealed, it's very possible for Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasures to be placed here. After all, ancient cultivators had the habit of using the power of treasures to suppress powerful demons," the Ye family cultivator explained again.

"Hmm, what you said is not wrong. I also think the Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure should be stored in one of these three places. However, with our abilities, we cannot take care of all of them; we can only explore two paths at most," the scholar finally spoke.

"Two paths? Which two do you intend to choose?" the freak asked somewhat hesitantly.

"Spirit Treasure Pavilion and Demon-Suppressing Tower!" the scholar said without hesitation.

"These two places! But I think Mount Kunwu Palace is more likely than the Demon-Suppressing Tower!" the big-headed freak shook his large head.

"Hehe! Seventh Uncle, I know what you mean. But Mount Kunwu Palace is too obvious, which is why I didn't choose it. I always feel that since this mountain is sealed here, and there are two Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasures left behind, they wouldn't just be enshrined in Mount Kunwu Palace as decorations. By comparison, using these treasures to suppress some demons is very possible," the scholar said calmly.

"Although what you said is not without reason, I still think Mount Kunwu Palace, as the core building of this mountain, must be explored," the freak nodded first, then shook his head.

"Seventh Uncle's words, how could I not know. But we only have this many people. Dividing into two teams is already somewhat strained; if we divide into three teams, our strength will be too thin," the scholar said with a bitter smile.

The remaining Ye family cultivators also discussed, some feeling the scholar's approach was steady, others feeling the freak's words made sense. For a time, they couldn't reach a conclusion.

Seeing this, the freak's expression flashed with a trace of strangeness, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"How about this. We have exactly nine people. You and I will each take three people to explore the Spirit Treasure Pavilion and the Demon-Suppressing Tower. Finally, find a clever elder with high escape techniques to walk to Mount Kunwu Palace. If there is truly a barrier and it is too powerful to break alone, then return immediately. In this way, you and I will have a count in our hearts. Whichever of the two paths is smoother, perhaps we can still make a trip to Mount Kunwu Palace," the freak suggested.

The freak actually suggested this.

"This... alright, let's follow Seventh Uncle's words! However, since this disciple is alone, he must be careful of the Lion-Fowl Beast and that Silver-Winged Winged Yecha, and let him take the Heaven-Covering Bracelet," the scholar thought for a moment, feeling it was feasible, and agreed, but added two sentences.

"Heaven-Covering Bracelet! With this treasure, even if this person encounters any danger, he can protect himself," the freak nodded and didn't object.

Immediately, the Ye family group divided into two batches, while the Ancient Demon stood silently behind the freak. As for the elder who was going to explore Mount Kunwu Palace, it was that square-faced middle-aged man who volunteered.

After all, among this group of Ye family cultivators, besides the freak and the scholar, it seemed only this person had the highest cultivation. So the scholar hesitated for a moment, then agreed, and immediately took a bracelet refined from white bone from his storage pouch and handed it to him.

"The Heaven-Covering Bracelet requires one's own essence blood to activate every time. Second Brother, if you don't have to use it, don't use this treasure," the scholar instructed solemnly.

"Rest assured, I know what I'm doing," the square-faced cultivator replied in a deep voice and took the item.

"Legend has it that the Demon-Suppressing Tower is a place specifically for imprisoning some extremely evil demons and ghosts. This old man has also heard of it for a long time. I don't know what demons are inside, so let me go to that side," the freak said casually.

"Hehe! Seventh Uncle actually thought of the same thing as me. I was also quite interested in that Demon-Suppressing Tower. However, since Seventh Uncle said so, then Seventh Uncle, you make this trip. I will take these three to search for treasures in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion," the scholar was stunned, but then didn't care and agreed fully.
