Chapter 1015

We followed them. WM Network, don't get too close to these old monsters. We were lucky that the mountain's restrictions can suppress divine sense; otherwise, we would have had no chance to tail a late Nascent Soul cultivator. Wood Madam gave a greeting, and instantly, white light flickered around the two women as they silently escaped from the stone pillar, then secretly pursued using a secret technique.

Not long after the two women left, a faint green light flashed behind another stone pillar where they had been standing, and a tall figure entirely shrouded in green mist emerged, a pair of crystalline jade-green eyes coldly staring in the direction the two women had disappeared for a moment before vanishing strangely.

When Qian Hehuan Lao Mo and the others arrived at the mountain gate, Han Li was slowly walking along the small path between the mountain gate and the great palace, pausing with each step as if each step weighed over ten thousand jin, and he was still only two or three hundred zhang away from the great palace.

However, at this moment, Han Li's entire body was surrounded by blue light and golden arcs, his whole body wrapped in an extremely gorgeous purple flame, and he had already used a Soul-Lowering Talisman to transform himself into a strange half-flood-dragon, half-human form, which caused Qian Hehuan Lao Mo and the others to startle upon seeing him.

"What kind of divine ability is this? How did this person become like this?" A black-robed old man couldn't help but exclaim.

"Never mind what's going on; this brat seems to be trapped by the restriction now—this is the perfect opportunity to eliminate him." Ge Tianhao's sinister expression flashed as he spoke, then swiftly raised one hand, and a fiery red long spear transformed into a red streak that shot out.

Han Li had previously destroyed Ge Tianhao's refined bone sword with the Three-Flame Fan, causing him considerable loss. Now that he had an opportunity, he naturally wouldn't let it slip easily.

But as the red streak flew out more than ten zhang, it "Boomed!" and crashed straight down, violently smashing a deep pit into the ground, then was firmly pressed down onto the ground.

"What is this?" Ge Tianhao exclaimed in alarm, urgently circulating his magic power to try to retrieve this treasure, but the long spear seemed to have taken root in the ground and wouldn't budge at all.

"Great Five Elements Magnetism?" Lin Yinping exclaimed softly upon seeing this.

: No, it's Gold Magnet Heavy Light. This is the natural restriction produced by those Gold Magnet Spiritual Trees on either side. Anyone who steps into the influence range of these spiritual trees will be weighed down by their invisible magnetic light gravity, making movement extremely difficult." The Silver-Winged Yecha glanced at the two rows of withered giant trees on either side and then spoke lightly.

"Extremely difficult to move? How did that Han brat manage to walk past?" The Xu-surnamed youth coldly snorted, glanced at Han Li's distant back, and said.

"Hehe, Daoist friend really didn't notice, or are you deliberately ignoring this person's drastic change in appearance! Before and after the transformation, this person's cultivation has at least increased by about half, reaching the peak of mid-Nascent Soul cultivation. Moreover, whether it's the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder or that purple Ice Flame, both are tremendous divine abilities. If Daoist friend were to go over, I'm afraid even the transformed person could endure longer than you!" The Silver-Winged Yecha glanced at the youth, a hint of mockery appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Is that so! From your tone, it seems you're quite familiar with this Han brat. Do you know this person?" The Xu-surnamed youth's face remained expressionless, but his tone shifted.

"Whether I know this person or not seems to have nothing to do with you, Daoist friend." The Silver-Winged Yecha, having detected the probing intent in the other's words, coldly laughed.

Upon hearing the Silver-Winged Yecha's reply, the Xu-surnamed youth's expression remained unchanged, but he naturally felt great anger in his heart.

"Gold Magnet Spiritual Trees—could they be the ancient spiritual trees known as the Falling Treasure Trees? These trees are said to have long been extinct outside, and it's heard that any treasure containing metallic properties will be restrained by this tree—no wonder Ge Daoist's treasure fell to the ground immediately. Furthermore, the magnetic force emitted by these trees is innate; cultivators using divine sense to scan would detect nothing at all." Ge Tianhao frowned and said.

"Not only that. The magnetic field emitted by these trees is extremely strong, even capable of superimposing, repeatedly applying gravity to the body. The exact amount of gravity applied can be determined by looking at how many spiritual trees are in the two rows. They are so densely packed that I fear we would be simultaneously affected by four or five of these trees upon entering. Others may not know, but I personally doubt I could withstand such immense force." The square-faced cultivator's expression turned somewhat solemn.

"Is that so? I, for one, don't believe it and want to give it a try."

Lin Yinping watched Han Li's slowly advancing back, her beautiful face turning cold. She slapped her spirit beast pouch, and instantly a four-legged strange serpent shot out.

This strange serpent's entire body was covered in thick scales, with a pair of flesh wings on its back, appearing rough-skinned and thick-fleshed.

"Go!" Lin Yinping let out a low shout, pointing a finger toward Han Li's distant back.

Suddenly, a yellowish misty shield appeared on the serpent's body; after a midair turn, it shot straight into the mountain gate.

Thus, under the gaze of many, the serpent flew forward more than ten zhang, then with a "Whoosh!" sound, it plunged straight down just like the previous long spear.

But this serpent's body was indeed extraordinarily tough, and it also possessed some brute strength; upon landing, it exerted force with its four legs and actually rolled up to stand, its rear wings flailing hard a few times as if trying to take flight.

Seeing this, Lin Yinping couldn't help but show a hint of joy on her face.

But before her smile could fade, a muffled "Pfft!" sound came from afar, and the serpent's body exploded, its flesh and blood instantly crushed into a paste-like state by gravity.

"How is this possible? Is this magnetic light really this powerful? What is the Han brat's body made of, that even my spirit serpent cannot withstand it, yet he remains unharmed?" Lin Yinping's face turned pale, unable to believe it, and she exclaimed in disbelief.

"No need to think further. I sensed a faint demonic aura on that person—he must have used some secret technique to temporarily possess a demon beast's power, which is why his body became so extraordinarily strong. However, this person's own divine abilities are indeed formidable; he can simultaneously drive three kinds of power without using any treasure to resist such immense force. Even I cannot achieve this." Qian Hehuan Lao Mo said coldly, actually having guessed part of the truth.

"Such a secret technique exists—this person really knows a lot of heretical arts!" Upon hearing the old demon's words, Lin Yinping and the others suddenly understood.

"Alright, no more nonsense. If you humans keep chatting a while longer, that person will have already entered the Kunwu Palace." The ugly woman among the three demons, seeing Han Li's figure drawing ever closer to the great hall, turned her eyes and shouted loudly in a coarse voice, though her voice sounded like a broken gong and was unpleasant to hear.

"Rest assured, the Kunwu Palace's restrictions cannot possibly be only what's before us. Who knows what even stricter restrictions await him inside the palace? Moreover, since we know the origin of the Gold Magnet Spiritual Trees, breaking the restriction is not difficult at all—we just need to use treasures without metallic properties to chop down these giant trees one by one, and this restriction will naturally be easily dispelled." The Xu-surnamed youth said calmly.

"This simple?" The ugly woman blinked her eyes, seeming somewhat doubtful.

"Gold Magnet Heavy Light only wins by being unpreventable, trapping people once they enter so they cannot escape. The rest is not worth mentioning." The Xu-surnamed youth said, then rudely raised his hand; a small pale yellow sword flew from his grasp, and immediately a yellow streak shot straight toward the nearest giant tree to chop it horizontally.

After a loud "Boom!", the big man's body suddenly flashed with pale golden light; the spot where the flying sword cut the tree trunk only gained a deep sword mark, but it was not chopped down in one strike.

"Huh!" The Xu-surnamed youth exclaimed in surprise.

"It seems Daoist friend Xu forgot one thing. These Gold-Extreme Magnetic Trees are originally harder than metal and stone, and having been nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on Mount Kunwu for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, they are no longer ordinary spiritual trees. To destroy them is truly not an easy task—we should not delay any further; let's all attack together!" Qian Hehuan Lao Mo's voice came from afar, followed by the giant white figure opening its mouth, and a white crystal ball rolled straight toward another giant tree.

After exchanging glances, Ge Tianhao and the others no longer hesitated, taking out various treasures made of jade, wood, and other materials from their persons, and rained them down upon the two sides of giant trees.

For a time, various colored spiritual lights enveloped several giant trees on both sides.

Yet neither Qian Hehuan Lao Mo nor the Xu-surnamed youth and others noticed that, as human cultivators attacked the Gold-Extreme Magnetic Trees, the Silver-Winged Yecha and the three demons, although each also spat out a treasure to join the attack, appeared calm on the surface but secretly rejoiced in their hearts. Moreover, the treasures spat out by these three demons, though seeming powerful, actually had little effect when landing on those giant trees. However, this situation was cleverly concealed by the grand momentum of the assault, and the human cultivators, for a time, all failed to notice the anomaly.

"Truly foolish! I never expected these people behind to actually dare to chop down those Gold Magnet Spiritual Trees." As Han Li struggled forward in front, a voice came from his mind—it was the sigh of the Silver Moon.

"This also cannot be blamed on Qian Hehuan Lao Mo and the others for their oversight; after all, they lack the Clear Spirit Eye divine ability, so they cannot directly see inside these giant trees as I can. Naturally, they don't know that each tree bears the ancient Great Light Wheel Demon-Subduing Mantra inscribed from antiquity. Moreover, without your reminder, I might not have noticed this either. Who would have thought ancient cultivators could actually inscribe mantras into tree trunks?" Han Li said, his expression unstartled.

"But in this way, the Silver-Winged Yecha and the three demons can pass through this place without restraint. Should we remind those people?" The Silver Moon hesitated for a moment, then asked doubtfully.

"Remind? Why should we? Those people behind, aside from the Ye family cultivators, the Tianlan Holy Temple and the Yin Luo Sect are all on the same side; the three demons coming over is just right—just right to restrain them. Earlier, I didn't use treasures to destroy those giant trees merely because my own strength is too weak; destroying them would still take considerable effort, otherwise I would have acted myself." Han Li gave a faint smile.

"That's also true. However, Master would be better off entering the palace early to take the treasure. As long as the treasure is in hand, with Master's divine abilities, taking advantage of the chaos to retreat completely is still possible. Then, as long as we hide in a secret place in the mountain for a few days, waiting for the crack to return to normal, we can leave this mountain." The Silver Moon also said with a light laugh.
