Chapter 368: The Immortal Castle Years, the Realm of Life and Death

Two thoughts flashed in his mind.

At the moment of space change, Han Yi memorized the face of the middle-aged monk.

In just a moment, he was teleported from the Wanzhan node back to the Yingyue node, and then, according to Du Ruhu's previous instructions, he went to the side hall.

Half an hour later, the monks of the seventh team of the Yingyue Spirit Camp had gathered together.

Han Yi took a glance and found with his strong memory that three of the original one hundred monks were not present.

These three monks included a Shenhua, a Yuanying and a Jindan.

He was slightly shocked.

In this case, it basically means that the three monks who were not present have fallen.

The mortality rate of seemingly non-dangerous routine tasks is not low, which sounded a warning bell in Han Yi's heart.

On the high seat of the side hall, Du Ruhu looked at everyone with a calm face. He has been in this fairy castle for more than 60 years and has seen countless fairy monks fall here. Even monks of the same level as him, or even stronger than him, have fallen. He has become accustomed to this.

"This time, for the routine mission numbered 17, my seventh team of monks dispatched 103 people, of whom the tokens of three have been found and confirmed to have fallen in the void."

"There are 1,097 people in the spiritual camp, and a total of 41 people have been confirmed to have fallen."

"This is your first mission, and it is a routine mission with a low sequence number."

"In the outer void, danger is everywhere. Even in seemingly non-dangerous missions, there is a danger of falling."

At this point, Du Ruhu paused slightly, and then he told everyone to go back and rest well, practice what they should practice, and exchange points for spiritual objects as soon as possible.

Moreover.

You must always be prepared for tasks that may appear at any time, especially any combat and emergency tasks.

In the Immortal Castle, routine tasks are generally not very frequent, but only occur at intervals, but combat and emergency tasks may appear at any time.

Once, after a combat task was completed, an emergency task occurred only three days later.

The cultivators agreed.

Han Yi left the side hall with everyone, returned to the area behind the side hall, passed through the Liangyi Xuanguang formation, and fell into his own room, and finally relaxed.

Room, quiet room.

The middle-aged cultivator in the Ten Thousand Battles Hall first appeared in Han Yi's mind.

The murderous aura in the cultivator's eyes made him suspicious.

Just a quick glance, Han Yi knew from the flash of his breath that the middle-aged cultivator was a half-immortal.

But he had never seen this half-immortal from beginning to end, and it had only been a few days since he came from the Immortal Court to the Immortal Castle in the Eastern Region battlefield, and he participated in the routine mission.

These days, he has been practicing alone.

In the routine mission, he did not have any conflicts with other cultivators.

Conflict?

Han Yi raised his eyebrows.

Conflicts are not just face-to-face killing conflicts, but also conflicts of interests.

As for interests...

He suddenly recalled his most unusual experience of this trip, which was to smash an incomplete mechanical god race and obtain a large piece of purple Gang Xuan Jade Marrow.

If there is really a conflict of interest, it is these two points.

The first case is that if the half-immortal is related to the god species.

Could it be that the other party wants to cultivate a mechanical god race?

Han Yi shook his head, this possibility is extremely low.

With the cultivation of the other party's half-immortal, he can't do spy work. After all, the half-immortal can't access the core information in the fairy castle.

The second case is that the other party is related to the purple Gang Xuan Jade Marrow, which is easier to infer.

Nothing more than the other party put the purple Gang Xuan Jade Marrow on the broken land, and for some reason, the land broke open, and happened to be accidentally drifted to the nearby god species, traction to absorb the purple Gang Xuan Qi.

When the God Seed was transforming, it happened to encounter the Qingping Sword on which Han Yi was observing the final fusion stage. After discovering it, he killed the God Seed in one fell swoop and took away the Jade Marrow.

It is also possible that the other party got the news from some channel and knew that there was a Zigangxuan Jade Marrow hidden nearby, so he rushed over, but found that the Jade Marrow was gone.

And this also has a problem, that is, how did the other party determine that he took it away?

Han Yi recalled the scene when he stepped into the Ten Thousand Battles Hall. There was nothing unusual when he stepped into it. He took out the God Seed, exchanged points, and left before being noticed by the half-immortal.

In other words, the half-immortal recognized him from the God Seed he took out.

Suddenly, he remembered that when the God Seed was broken, there was a breath spreading out. If someone with a keen interest explored nearby, it would not be difficult to find it.

In this way.

The second possibility is higher.

Of course.

The above inferences are actually not important. What is important is the murderous aura in the eyes of the half-immortal, indicating that the other party has the intention to kill Han Yi.

Logically speaking, with the Immortal Castle token, if the other party really killed Han Yi in person, he would definitely be investigated by the Immortal Court. According to the Immortal Castle Immortal Law, he would have no choice but to die.

The other party is a semi-immortal, so it is impossible for him to be so stupid.

But to kill a cultivator, in addition to killing him head-on, there are countless ways, such as sending a cultivator whose soul is controlled by him to attract the enemy during the mission and die together.

This is also the reason why Han Yi still has basic vigilance when facing other cultivators.

"Semi-immortal." Han Yi murmured in a low voice.

This is really out of reach for him. With his current cultivation, he can kill the late stage of the God Transformation, and he can at least fight against the peak of the God Transformation.

But a half-immortal, although he has not passed the immortal tribulation, has already stepped half a foot into the ranks of immortals to some extent. This is a different level from the transformation of the spirit. Han Yi has no confidence in it.

"When there is a chance, I will check the background of this half-immortal."

Han Yi suppressed this thought in his heart, and then, he abandoned his messy thoughts and continued to practice.

He still used his divine power to sense the divine orifices outside the Zhoutian, without rushing or being impatient.

In the second month.

Han Yi suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

On the proficiency panel in front of him.

In the column of 'Divine Fire Battle Body', the original 99/100 began to flash.

This means that this skill has reached the critical point and is about to break through the boundary.

Han Yi took a deep breath and continued to sense with divine power. This time and again, the proficiency was improved again and again, and the corresponding column on the panel flashed at a faster and faster frequency.

Another half month passed, and in the third month after Han Yi arrived at the Immortal Castle, the panel flickered to the extreme, and then it jumped again in an instant.

[Divine Fire Battle Body (Fifth Realm 100/100)].

At the same time.

Han Yi's divine power sensed that a new acupoint appeared under the Shenmen acupoint on his left hand.

When Pu Yi sensed it, his divine power surged like a honeycomb, instantly breaking open the acupoint, and the divine power flowed in, like a long river running straight through, endless.

Boom!

The acupoint instantly changed into a mysterious orifice, and then the divine power entangled, condensed the Yuandan, and turned into a divine orifice. The Yuandan passed through the Shenxing, Xuanyue, and Anri, and then evolved into the Yin and Yang Qi, and stepped into the Yin and Yang realm in one fell swoop.

In the quiet room.

Han Yi had a breath that broke through the critical point but was not yet complete, flowing out, but was blocked by the Liangyi Xuanguang Array and did not spread.

"Finally, I have taken the first step, which is also a crucial step."

"Next, I will condense the innate spiritual objects in the divine orifice."

"This second step is a matter of time."

"As long as I successfully condense an innate spiritual object, I can use it to comprehend the realm of life and death and completely enter the realm of life and death."

Han Yi did not stop, but struck while the iron was hot and began to condense the innate spiritual objects directly in the divine orifice.

The so-called "innate" in the innate spiritual objects refers to the prior to the heavenly way, of course, this is for the divine orifice.

The divine orifice has not yet given birth to the heavenly way, so all the condensed spiritual objects are theoretically innate spiritual objects.

The so-called "condensation" is to combine the spiritual objects of the outside world with the yin and yang qi in the divine orifice, and through the change of yin and yang qi, let this kind of spiritual object change from an external object to an internal object.

And the external spiritual object is transformed into an internal spiritual object, that is, an innate spiritual object. This process will first experience destruction and then transform into a new life.

This is "death" and "birth".

This is the "reincarnation" of spiritual objects.

To put it simply,

After Han Yi sent a spiritual object into the divine orifice, when he condensed it with the yin and yang energy, if it succeeded, the spiritual object would go through a process of first destruction and then rebirth.

After this process, the spiritual object can become the innate spiritual object of the divine orifice from the outside to the inside.

And the master of the divine orifice, that is, Han Yi, will also comprehend the artistic conception of life and death through this process with the help of the changes of the spiritual object.

In this way, it means that he has entered the realm of life and death.

Of course.

Condensing innate spiritual objects is naturally not a one-time success, but requires continuous attempts.

There are two elements involved, one is time, and the other is spiritual objects.

In the world of gods and demons in the corpse of the ancient god of the endless void, there were countless gods and demons at the peak of the yin and yang realm, who were trapped in this step all their lives and had no chance to enter the realm of life and death.

Ample time and enough spiritual objects can support the exploration of the realm of life and death again and again.

Han Yi is not short of spiritual objects.

His first choice was to use the All-Spiritual Source Fire to condense the innate spiritual objects. This was a kind of immortal fire, and the strongest of his own attributes was the fire attribute, which was perfect.

In addition, the divine fire combat body he cultivated also belonged to the category of fire attributes, so he naturally chose it as the first choice.

Of course.

He did not throw the entire immortal fire into the condensation at the beginning, which would definitely only lead to destruction. Instead, he continued to cut it as before and condensed it with an appropriate volume of immortal fire.

In this way, in terms of quantity, he basically did not need to worry, because this immortal fire was still very huge.

Even if it really took a long time and the immortal fire failed to condense the innate spiritual objects, Han Yi still had the newly obtained purple Gangxuan jade marrow.

This kind of jade marrow was no less than the grade of the All-Spiritual Source Fire, and its nature was relatively mild, but it was not of fire attribute, so Han Yi regarded it as the second choice.

If the jade marrow was not enough, he still had points to exchange for spiritual objects, so he could settle for the next best thing and use other spiritual objects to condense the innate spiritual objects in the divine orifice.

In short, Han Yi was ready for a protracted war.

He still had a year to go before he turned 150, and judging from his life span, he still had 3,000 years left, which was totally affordable.

In the quiet room.

After he made up his mind, he sank into the central palace divine acupoint with his mind, condensed his divine power into a knife, and approached the Wanlingyuan Fire that was sealed by divine power.

Then, as in the previous practice, he cut off a small piece.

This time, the small piece was larger than the previous practice, about the size of a little finger.

Of course, when condensing an innate spiritual object, the size cannot be too small. If it is too small, the transformed life and death realm will not be enough, and it is not suitable, so the spiritual object must be moderate.

And this first little finger-sized fairy fire was just an attempt made by Han Yi.

After wrapping this small group of fairy fire with divine power and pulling it away from the big fairy fire, at a certain position in the Zhongfu Divine Aperture, part of the original 999 Yin and Yang Qi fell down and began to entangle around the cut fairy fire.

At a certain moment.

The Yin and Yang Qi slowly approached and approached the fairy fire. After approaching to a certain distance, the surface of the fairy fire began to extinguish.

This is the Yin and Yang Qi, melting the law of the fairy fire.

Han Yi controlled the Yin and Yang Qi to move away slightly, and then slowly approached again.

Seven days later.

Peng!

In the divine aperture, this group of fairy fire the size of a finger exploded directly, and the Yin and Yang Qi did not decrease, and it was still maintained at the peak state of 999.

In the quiet room, Han Yi opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed with thinking.

The first condensation was naturally a complete failure.

But in the process, Han Yi also summarized the existing problems.

He closed his eyes again and continued to cut the fairy fire in the Zhongfu Divine Cavity, trying to condense the innate spirit fire.

Next.

What surprised Han Yi was that for five consecutive years, there were no tasks in the spirit camp, which gave Han Yi a more consistent time for the experiment of the life and death realm.

And in the sixth year, there was another regular task. This time, it was a regular task of sequence thirty-seven.

For this task, under the Qianlie Immortal Army, one hundred spirit camps were dispatched, and the participating cultivators were about one hundred thousand.

This time, Han Yi did not dare to act alone, but formed a team with three gods to complete the task together.

The regular task of sequence number thirty-seven was to intercept and clean up the evil beast eggs.

The evil beast eggs were the beast eggs spread by the evil beast clan, which ranked last among the nine subordinate races of the Zhi clan.

There were a lot of these beast eggs, which entered the fairy world through the void and caused chaos.

Therefore, every few years, it was necessary to intercept and clean up the evil beast eggs on the void defense line.

This mission is not necessarily safe. Most evil beast eggs will hatch successfully after arriving in the fairyland, but a small number of evil beast eggs will be born in the void by absorbing chaotic spiritual energy.

And the evil beast eggs that can be born in the void account for about 10% of the total proportion.

This 10% is the danger of the regular mission of sequence 37.

However.

Most of the evil beasts born from evil beast eggs are only at the Jindan and Yuanying levels. A small number of them may be promoted to the Shenhua level by devouring other evil beasts, but in general, the scattered evil beasts in the void are not strong.

Therefore, although their number is small, the difficulty is not high, and the sequence number is only 37.

And for Han Yi, the source of danger for this regular mission is only one aspect.

The other danger comes from a half-immortal named Dai Zhe.

In the past five years, Han Yi did not stay in seclusion all the time, but came out every year to communicate with the cultivators of the Shadow Moon Spirit Camp.

Therefore, he also took the opportunity to find out the middle-aged half-immortal cultivator who showed murderous intent to him in the Wanzhan Hall.

His name is Dai Zhe.

This Dai Zhe is also a cultivator of the Qianlie Immortal Army, and his spiritual camp is called the Yuchi Spiritual Camp.

Knowing the details of the other party, Han Yi secretly decided that no matter where the other party's murderous intention came from, he would not give this half-immortal a chance.

One year later.

After this routine mission, Han Yi returned to the Immortal Castle.

During this process, he only used less than 30% of his strength, which shocked the three gods who formed the team.

The strongest of these three gods was only in the middle stage of the gods, and Han Yi's 30% strength was comparable to the late stage of the gods, which naturally shocked them.

After returning to the Shadow Moon Node of the Immortal Castle, Han Yi walked out of the side hall, and in the eyes of the three gods who were faintly in awe, he set up the escape light and returned to the room.

This time, he did not fall into the formation immediately, but first put away the two-element mysterious light, carefully checked everything in the room, and confirmed that there was no abnormality before re-arranging the formation and taking out the Guixu Sword Formation to fall around.

Only then did he relax.

He had decided that in the past thirty years, no matter what, he would not give the half-immortal a chance to attack, and he was so cautious even in the room.

Because he couldn't afford to gamble.

In the quiet room, he put aside all distracting thoughts and continued to condense the innate spiritual objects in his divine orifice.

Three years later.

At a certain moment.

Han Yi closed his eyes, but a fiery divine fire ignited on his body, and a terrifying and strong artistic conception suddenly erupted.

This artistic conception, in the previous moment, carried the breath of destroying everything, and in the next moment, it suddenly transformed into a thriving life force.

Life and death realm.
