After sending the message, Lin Dong clenched his fists and shot a provocative glare toward the cultivators standing atop the stone pillars.
[Han Li: If you insist on staying, then do not cause trouble. This place is the Void Heaven Palace—an independent space left behind by an ancient cultivator. It contains countless opportunities, but several Nascent Soul cultivators have already arrived. Those people are not to be trifled with.]
Han Li spoke with extreme caution.
Although he had read A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality and knew many of the secrets of the Void Heaven Palace, he did not grow arrogant. On the contrary, he became even more careful.
When he entered, he deliberately chose a secluded corner to avoid drawing attention.
Zhu Chen and the others were also standing in that same corner.
At this moment, all the Nascent Soul cultivators within the Void Heaven Palace—except for the bearded man—had already arrived.
That cunning old fox, Xuan Gu, was also present.
However, the body he possessed this time was Jin Qing. Because Jin Qing did not cultivate the "Mysterious Yin Technique," his cultivation did not fully align with Xuan Gu's methods. As a result, after possession, his cultivation only reached the mid–Core Formation stage instead of the peak late stage as in the original timeline.
Even so, his divine sense and methods were firmly at the Nascent Soul level.
Among Core Formation cultivators, he was an extremely troublesome existence.
These three can teleport freely within the Void Heaven Palace. Could they possess some extraordinary ancient spatial treasure?"
Standing atop a stone pillar in the center of the palace, the Extreme Yin Ancestor's cold gaze flickered as he observed Zhu Chen and the others.
He had been watching Han Li all along and had clearly seen Zhu Chen and Xiao Yan appear out of thin air.
Naturally, with his knowledge, he would never associate such phenomena with the concept of "transmigration." Instead, he concluded that they were juniors who possessed rare ancient spatial treasures.
As for their cultivation levels, he did not care in the slightest.
He knew every Nascent Soul cultivator in the Chaotic Star Sea—these three were clearly not among them.
Moreover, they were associating with Han Li.
Anyone willing to associate with an early Core Formation cultivator was likely only a junior of similar level. Even with ancient treasures, they were nothing to fear.
"Hahaha! The Void Heaven Palace hasn't even opened yet? Looks like I made it just in time!"
Not long after Zhu Chen and the others arrived, a burly figure clad in golden armor and sporting a thick beard charged in from outside, landing squarely in the center of the palace.
The instant he appeared, a vast, ocean-like aura surged outward like a tsunami, instantly shocking many of the cultivators present.
The newcomer was none other than the strongest body cultivator of the Chaotic Star Sea—
Barbarian Beard, cultivator of the Heaven-Supporting Demon Art!
Upon seeing him, all the local cultivators present—except for Wan Tianming, the sect master of the Myriad Laws Sect who possessed cultivation equal to his—frowned deeply.
This included the Extreme Yin Ancestor, who had already set his sights on Han Li.
Damn, this bearded guy looks pretty strong. Brother Lin Dong, why don't you go up and test his skills?"
Seeing the bearded man's entrance instantly intimidate the crowd, the ever-talkative Xiao Yan couldn't help muttering.
The moment those words left his mouth, Han Li's expression darkened. He subconsciously retreated several steps.
Although divine sense was suppressed within the Void Heaven Palace, which Nascent Soul cultivator present lacked sharp perception?
Xiao Yan hadn't even used sound transmission—he had spoken openly, practically to the man's face.
Wasn't this blatant provocation?
"Hm?"
Sure enough, just as Han Li stepped back, the bearded man's cold gaze snapped toward them.
"Kid," he said grimly, "were you the one who said you wanted to test my strength?"
In a blur almost like teleportation, the bearded man appeared directly in front of Xiao Yan, startling him.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, fighting is forbidden here. This Nascent Soul cultivator is no ordinary opponent—quickly apologize and don't provoke him further."
Han Li hurriedly sent a message to Xiao Yan while quietly retreating again.
Xiao Yan could clearly sense the pressure radiating from the barbarian. This man was anything but simple.
But before coming here, he had already talked big in the group chat.
If he backed down now, how would he ever hold his head up in the group again?
"Teacher… help me."
