Chapter 1822

"I have heard some things about True Person Wangu. Net I heard that this Daoist was originally a rogue cultivator, but ten thousand years ago, he founded the White Bone Sect and became the sect's founding ancestor; his ambitions seemed quite large." Han Li said after a moment of contemplation.

"Speaking of which, the White Bone Sect is also a significant force within our Xuanwu Realm, enough to be ranked among the top ten sects. To be able to achieve this in such a short time shows the divine abilities of Senior Wangu. By the way, Senior Wangu currently resides on the highest level of the Welcoming Immortal Palace. If Senior wishes to stay on any level, just tell the Chief Steward of the Welcoming Immortal Palace when the time comes." The big man replied respectfully.

While speaking, the four Thunder Guards had already led Han Li to the gate of the white jade palace, where several armored soldiers in green armor were standing guard straight.

The leading big man hurriedly jumped off the giant wolf, walked to a guard, pointed at Han Li, and whispered a few words.

The green-armored guard, whose expression had been somewhat cold, had his expression change. After carefully sizing up Han Li twice, he immediately bowed to Han Li and hurriedly turned back into the gate.

The big man returned to Han Li's side and said:

"Senior Han, we juniors still have patrol duties and cannot stay here for long. In a moment, the Chief Steward of the Immortal Palace will come out to welcome Senior personally; we four will take our leave first."

Saying this, the four big men bowed slightly to Han Li and took their leave.

Han Li naturally wouldn't stop them; he waved his hand and let the four Thunder Guards leave.

Almost the moment the big man and the others' giant wolves took off into the air, two people also walked out from the palace gate.

One was the green-armored guard who had just run inside, and the other was a white-faced old man in gray robes, with slightly green eyes and faint stinging light flickering, actually a Void Refinement mid-stage cultivator.

"This must be Senior Han Li. Not knowing that Senior was arriving, this junior Zong Mian failed to come out to welcome you from afar, and I hope Senior will forgive me." The old man stepped forward a few steps, bowed to Han Li from afar, full of respect.

"Daoist Zong, no need for formalities. I am also somewhat tired after the long journey here. Let's arrange a place to stay as soon as possible." Han Li also sized up the other party a few times before saying calmly.

"Senior, please rest assured, the Welcoming Immortal Palace has already arranged everything, and Senior can move in immediately. Except for the top level which is occupied by Senior Wangu, and the first level which cannot be lived in, the other eight levels are currently vacant, and Senior can choose as you wish." Zong Mian said with a smile.

"Then let's go with the fifth level. Neither too high nor too low, it is just right for me." Han Li thought for a moment before saying this.

"Yes, I will take Senior to have a look first. If there is anything you are dissatisfied with, this junior will naturally help you change it immediately." The old man said somewhat ingratiatingly.

Han Li nodded expressionlessly, and under the other party's guidance, entered the main hall on the first level of the Welcoming Immortal Palace.

The entire main hall was several hundred zhang wide, and both the four walls and the floor were shining, inlaid with fist-sized white night-luminescent pearls, making the main hall shimmer with crystal light, as if it were a dragon palace fairyland.

Around the main hall were placed some tables and chairs made of white jade, not too many, scattered in the corners.

In the center of the main hall, however, was a pale silver teleportation array, about seven or eight zhang in size.

The old man walked directly to the array and took the lead in stepping inside.

Han Li also stepped inside expressionlessly.

Hai Dashao and Qilingzi looked at each other and naturally followed closely behind without missing a step.

Although these two were using a teleportation array for the first time, they didn't feel any fear.

As a result, the old man cast a magic technique onto the teleportation array, and the entire array emitted a buzzing sound.

At this moment, Zong Mian flipped his hand, and an exquisite silver plate appeared in his hand.

Han Li glanced at it and saw that one side of the token was engraved with complex runes, while the other side had a pale golden "Five" character.

The old man shook the token gently, and a silver light shot out, vanishing into the array below.

The next moment, the entire array shimmered with silver light, and the four people's figures vanished simultaneously.

Although Hai Dashao and Qilingzi closed their eyes, they still felt a momentary dizziness.

When the two opened their eyes again, they were stunned to find themselves on an open-air platform.

Around the platform was a flower garden composed of several winding paths, with numerous strange flowers and spirit herbs that they couldn't name covering both sides, not knowing where they led. On the other side, however, was a lush green pond several mu in size, inside which five-colored spirit fish about a chi in size were swimming around.

Just then, a breeze blew, and a burst of vibrant spiritual energy rushed toward them.

Hai Dashao was somewhat stunned, suddenly remembered something, and looked up at the sky.

He saw a vast blue sky above, with a few white clouds drifting gently.

But the few suns that should have been there were nowhere to be seen. Replacing them was a massive milky-white ball of light, floating high in the sky and emitting a soft white light.

Hai Dashao was dumbfounded.

Qilingzi to the side didn't fare much better, his mouth also wide open, unable to close for a moment.

"Don't look anymore. Everything above is just an illusion created by the barrier. With your cultivation base, you won't be able to see any mysteries." Han Li's voice sounded in both their ears simultaneously.

The two were startled and woke up from their daze, only to find that Han Li had walked out of the array at some point and was standing more than ten zhang away, looking at them with a smile.

The old man named Zong Mian was looking at the two with a smile from even further away.

Hai Dashao and Qilingzi's faces turned slightly red, and they hurriedly walked out of the array with embarrassment.

But the two were still filled with excitement, following behind Han Li, looking around from time to time.

Walking along a small path, a pale green main hall appeared before their eyes. Although it couldn't be called massive, it excelled in exquisite beauty, with almost every pattern meticulously engraved upon it.

On both sides of the main hall were another independent courtyard and a slightly smaller side hall.

These buildings were clearly for the disciples of the cultivators who came here to live.

These buildings were surrounded by lush green bamboo, with some pavilions appearing and disappearing among them.

What a charming scene.

Who could have imagined that this fairyland-like world was just the first level of a massive palace?

"Is every level of the Welcoming Immortal Palace arranged like this?" Han Li stood not far from the main hall, looked around, and asked the old man casually.

"Hehe, of course not. The arrangement of each level of the Welcoming Immortal Palace is different, in case some seniors are dissatisfied, so they can be changed. If Senior Han feels it is not good, this junior can immediately choose another level for Senior." Zong Mian replied without hesitation.

"That won't be necessary. This level is not bad, I am quite satisfied, so I will stay here." Han Li waved his hand and said indifferently.

"Since Senior feels it is acceptable, please keep this barrier token carefully. Because the barriers on each level are different, and only one token is made for each level. Therefore, after the assembly ends, please return this item to me." Upon hearing this, the old man's face revealed a smile, and he handed the silver plate in his hand over with both hands.

Han Li took the token and nodded slightly, indicating he understood.

The old man then tactfully took his leave.

In the blink of an eye, only Han Li and the three people including Hai Dashao were left here.

"You two can also stay here during the assembly. You can choose any of those courtyards to live in. I also need to rest a bit; we will talk about other things tomorrow." Han Li instructed the two.

"Yes, Senior!"

Hai Dashao and Qilingzi responded respectfully.

Then the two could no longer hide their excitement and flew toward the buildings on the side of the main hall, and one could still hear their low laughter from afar.

Han Li shook his head, turned around, and walked toward the main hall in front, finding a quiet room inside to sit in meditation and rest.

Early the next morning, while Han Li was still sitting on the meditation cushion with his eyes closed and faint green spiritual light flickering on his body, his expression suddenly moved, and he opened his eyes.

The next moment, a mass of white flame strangely pierced through the wooden door and entered, vanishing in a flash before reaching Han Li.

Han Li's gaze flickered, and without a word, he extended a finger and tapped the white flame lightly.

With a "Bang," the white flame burst open, turning into countless sparks that vanished without a trace.

And almost at the same time, a voice suddenly echoed in the room:

"Old man Wangu, greetings to Daoist Han. I heard that Daoist also moved into the Welcoming Immortal Palace yesterday. If you don't mind, would you be willing to come to my residence for a chat!"

This voice was extremely old and slightly gloomy, but after saying these few sentences, the voice stopped abruptly.

"True Person Wangu!" Han Li touched his chin, revealing a thoughtful expression.

But after a moment, he stood up and walked out of the room.

When Han Li's figure appeared in the main hall, he unexpectedly saw Hai Dashao and Qilingzi.

These two didn't know how long they had been here, and were standing in a corner talking about something.

Upon seeing Han Li appear, they immediately stepped forward to pay their respects.

"Rise, why are you two not resting in your rooms and running here instead?" Han Li waved his hand and asked faintly.

"Senior Han, are you going to the market outside? We juniors naturally need to serve by your side at all times." Qilingzi said with a grin after standing up.

"That's right, although we juniors cannot share any major tasks for Senior, we can still do some small errands like running messages." Hai Dashao also expressed his loyalty.

"Hehe, who said I am going to the market today?" Han Li laughed.

"Then Senior today..." Hai Dashao and Qilingzi were disappointed upon hearing this.

"I know what you two mean; you want to go to the market outside to broaden your horizons. But the things in those markets basically cannot have the items I need, so under normal circumstances, I won't go there. However, since so many high-tier cultivators have gathered here, it wouldn't be bad for you to go to the market to see for yourselves. In a moment, I am going to visit True Person Wangu of the White Bone Sect, and it is not convenient to bring you two along. I will use the token to send you out first, and you can come back in the evening." Han Li said, his expression returning to calm.
