Chapter 1122

Although Han Li somewhat underestimated these passages similar to a "Lost" Palace, although most restrictions and puppets had been shut down, the restriction on divine sense remained effective.

After taking wrong turns countless times and using the Mingqing Lingmu to break through countless illusionary realms, he finally found the teleportation array leading to the next level. No wonder that day, even with the cultivation level of the barbarian-bearded man suppressing all cultivators, he could only honestly follow behind the two Extreme Yin Ancestors, temporarily restraining his previously domineering aura.

Of course, along the way he came, after reconciling with the Five Demons and the puppet leader, he had already cleaved open the stone doors of several unactivated treasure chambers with a single sword strike.

As a result, he found no treasures whatsoever, triggered no restrictions, and teleported himself out.

Whether it was because he didn't use the Xu Tian Tu to open the stone doors, or because it wasn't yet the day to open the Xu Tian Palace, these treasures had been separately sealed away, and even the restrictions for great spatial translocation had lost their effectiveness.

Han Li unwillingly searched each treasure chamber meticulously, but had to admit that the formation master who set up the Xu Tian Palace-related formations had attainments in formation construction far beyond his imagination; although he clearly knew these places had additional profound restrictions, he still gained nothing.

He had no choice but to withdraw resentfully, extinguishing the fantasy of sweeping away all treasures in the Xu Tian Palace in one fell swoop.

Although this method was ineffective, generally speaking, the most important control formations should be located at the very core of the building. And the most important part of the Xu Tian Palace naturally was the fifth level of the giant tower. Back then, the Extreme Ji Yin Laozu and others came, first fearing the restrictions on this level, second only wanting to plot for the Xu Tian Ding, and had not dared to carefully search that level.

With his current cultivation and the Mingqing Lingmu divine ability, perhaps he could find something.

As for that tenth-level Ice Phoenix, it had unknownly used spatial divine abilities to escape to somewhere, but Han Li was not at all worried that this demon could directly escape from the giant tower, even the Xu Tian Palace.

Because he had earlier carefully examined the tower walls at an edge, and found that the restrictions attached to them numbered over a dozen kinds.

Most he could not recognize, but among the few he could recognize, there happened to be restrictions specifically isolating spatial power. Unless using the special teleportation array inside this palace, otherwise attempting to use similar spatial translocation divine abilities to leave this tower was pure daydreaming.

Moreover, even with his current cultivation sensing upward, he could still feel the terror and unfathomable depth of the other restrictions on the tower walls. Otherwise he would not still be searching for the control formation, but would directly use great divine abilities to break through the tower walls and leave this place.

After passing through two levels of teleportation in succession, Han Li finally arrived at the fifth level of the giant tower, and appeared before the Han Li Terrace where the Xu Tian Ding was taken that day.

Speaking of which, the generations of grand elders of the Xiao Ji Palace were also titled Han Li Shangren, which could also be considered another bit of evidence of the connection between the Xiao Ji Palace and the Xu Tian Palace.

However, this terrace where the Xu Tian Ding had been taken had long become incomplete and damaged, fully preserving the traces left from the battle that day between the Extreme Ji Yin Laozu and Wan Tianming and others.

Somewhat unexpectedly to Han Li, the silver-clad woman was also standing on the high platform, gazing at that day's altar, with a look of solemn contemplation.

Han Li's arrival obviously startled this woman.

She coldly turned and glanced at Han Li, then suddenly her figure flickered, transforming into a crystal rainbow flying outward from the stone platform, and in the blink of an eye disappeared into the numerous blue stone passages.

Han Li silently watched her escape, with no intention whatsoever to intervene. Only after her escaping light could no longer be seen did he leisurely return to the altar, glance a few times into the cave where the Xu Tian Ding was taken, and then begin searching the entire stone platform for clues to the control formation.

Not long after, Han Li finally confirmed that there were indeed no traces of the control formation on the Han Li Terrace, and immediately took this terrace as the center, slowly expanding his search range.

But whether this control formation was truly hidden extremely secretly, or Han Li had simply not yet found the right place, Han Li had gained nothing so far.

Day after day passed, traces of Han Li's search remained everywhere on the fifth level, but after more than half a month, aside from his complexion growing increasingly gloomy, he still had not found even a trace of the control formation.

On this day, when Han Li walked out of a certain corner still finding nothing, he simply leaned against a nearby stone pillar, and in place could not help but stare blankly in a daze.

Could it be that the control formation of the Xu Ling Palace was not on this level, but on the remaining four levels!

Han Li muttered to himself.

As his expression wavered between gloom and clarity, suddenly a white light flashed nearby, accompanied by a "Zila" sound of space tearing, and the silver-clad woman's figure immediately appeared.

Han Li's eyes narrowed, he stared at this woman without speaking.

He did not believe this demon woman would come to his door for no reason, and instead wanted to hear her purpose.

After all, these days this woman had not appeared on the fifth level; perhaps she had found some way to exit on the other levels.

"How is it, Daoist Han, have you found a way out?" the silver-clad woman asked leisurely.

"If I had found it, why would I still be here? Hearing your tone, have you made some discovery?" Han Li replied calmly. As if nothing unpleasant had ever happened between him and this woman before.

"I have already roughly examined this place; wanting to forcibly break through the restrictions with brute strength would require at least two or three Spirit Transformation stage cultivators working together. Now only the two of us are here, so this is utterly unthinkable." The silver-clad woman's bright eyes flowed with autumn light as she spoke slowly.

"This needs no saying from you, I know it too." Han Li felt moved inside, but maintained an appearance of indifference.

"Hmph! You are not searching for this place's control formation, are you?" The silver-clad woman showed some impatience, her phoenix eyes flashed, and she let out a cold snort.

"Control formation, Han Li is indeed searching for it. Fairy Feng, do you have any instruction?" Han Li's expression stirred, and he openly admitted it.

"Then that's settled. I have found the control formation, but wanting to leave this place is not so easy? And before that, I first ask you two questions. What is the connection between this place and the Bingpo Xianzi? Is the small cauldron in your hand the Xu Tian Baoding!" The Yin Shan woman took a deep breath, her expression suddenly sinking.

"Bingpo Xianzi! Who is she? That small cauldron, you say it is the Xu Tian Ding, then it is!" Han Li was first startled, then laughed vaguely.

After hearing this, the silver-clad woman stared at Han Li, a cold light flashing in her eyes, and only after a while did she speak again:

"Bingpo Xianzi is the ancient cultivator who created the Ganlan Bingyan, and also the founding ancestor of the Xiao Ji Palace! Looking at your appearance, you truly know nothing about this. But as for the Xu Tian Ding, it's better to speak clearly. If you have the Xu Tian Ding, you can use it to activate that control formation. If you don't, you are utterly useless. I have no need to tell you!"

Han Li's eyes flashed with surprise, after a moment's thought he no longer hesitated:

"Since Daoist Feng said so, there is nothing to hide. That thing is indeed the Xu Tian Ding! I don't know where exactly the control formation is."

"Very good. Since Daoist Feng has admitted it, then come with me. This time, to leave this place, we must join hands once. Before leaving, it's best to set aside our grudges, otherwise neither of us can leave this place alone." The silver-clad woman replied with extraordinary composure, seeming not at all surprised by Han Li's answer, then her figure moved, transforming into a crystal light rushing straight toward a certain blue stone passage.

Han Li frowned, but without thinking further, he also transformed into a blue rainbow and gave chase.

But after only flying for a moment, Han Li revealed an expression of surprise.

Because the crystal light leading the way ahead was clearly heading toward the Han Li Terrace. There he had searched countless times, how could there still be something undiscovered?

However, the woman transformed from the Ice Phoenix showed no intention of stopping, and Han Li could only suppress his doubts and continue chasing.

After a while, the crystal light finally circled once on the high platform and landed on the altar, the light retracting to reveal the graceful and beautiful figure of the Yin Shan woman.

"Feng Daoist, you haven't mistaken the place, have you? Is the control formation truly here?" Han Li, after landing on the terrace as well, finally could not help but ask.

"Mistaken the place? Hehe, our palace could close its eyes and still find that control formation here." The silver-clad woman said disdainfully.

"What does that mean? Have you been here before?" Han Li's heart startled.

"How would I have come here! It's just that our Ice Phoenix clan's habitat, Bingyuan Island, has a place exactly like this stone platform. Speaking of which, the treasure cauldron you now hold also has some connection with our Ice Phoenix clan." The silver-clad woman said with a cold smile.

Immediately this woman, without waiting for Han Li to show surprise, suddenly floated upward, both hands suddenly pressing heavily at several points above the altar.

Instantly, in the void came several crisp sounds like shattering pottery, several clusters of blinding white points appeared in midair. Immediately these light points trembled, rapidly expanding, in the blink of an eye becoming as large as cart wheels, as if several blazing white suns simultaneously flashed in midair, finally merging into one, forming a huge light ball slowly rotating.

Han Li pursed his lips, showing no concealment of the shock on his face.

The silver-clad woman glanced sideways at Han Li, then mechanically continued casting, her ten fingers flicking rapidly, one seal after another sinking into the light ball and disappearing without trace.

Finally the huge light ball let out a loud bang, transforming out of nowhere into more than ten snow-white colored formation flags.

Each was five to six chi long, embroidered with some obscure ancient runes.

These formation flags merely spun in the void, then transformed into more than ten blinding dazzling white rainbows shooting toward all directions, then flashing and vanishing into the ground without trace.

Seeing this, Han Li's eyes flickered in succession, and a hint of realization faintly appeared on his face.

And just at this time, the entire Cold Jade Platform emitted a rumbling sound, and after a violent tremor, a huge formation almost covering the entire stone platform appeared centered on the altar, with multicolored spiritual light flashing continuously upon it.
