On the other hand, Nascent Soul cultivators from other major sects didn’t dare to set foot near Xuandan Peak.
With this in mind, Han Yi became even more convinced of his speculation that the secret of Xuandan Peak was at the core of why the Blood God Sect and the Heavenly Soul Sect had unreasonably provoked them.
And behind the Blood God Sect and the Heavenly Soul Sect, there must be Monarch-level cultivators.
However, since Zhuge Wu You said this secret was so terrifying that only Monarchs were qualified to know it, Han Yi wasn’t going to risk prying into it.
A moment later.
Han Yi walked down the tower and entered the elder’s office area to find Lu Li.
Since the Chief of Azure Dragon Palace, Shen Ping, was in seclusion preparing to break through to the Golden Core stage, Lu Li had temporarily been promoted from deputy to Chief, handling even more matters and becoming busier.
Upon seeing Han Yi, Lu Li’s eyes widened in shock.
“Han junior brother, you, you…, you’ve reached the Foundation Establishment Peak already?”
Han Yi didn’t conceal his aura, which had become more than twice as strong as when he left four years ago, giving Lu Li the same feeling as when he first met Shen Ping.
Seeing Han Yi nod in affirmation, Lu Li’s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets, clearly so shocked that even his expression had collapsed.
“It’s only been four years, four years! You’re, you’re… defying the heavens!” Lu Li sighed deeply, his expression extremely complex, ultimately using the phrase “defying the heavens” to describe Han Yi.
“By the way, Han junior brother, I just received the information you asked me to watch out for four years ago. I didn’t even know you had returned to the sect.
I was planning to send the information to Qian Du.”
Han Yi’s eyes lit up as he naturally came to find Lu Li for the matter he had entrusted four years ago, which was to keep a lookout for Yan Ru s whereabouts.
“The owner of Xuanhuo Pill Shop in Lingchuan City, Zhang Kun, sent a message saying that Yan Ru had bought several bottles of healing pills at his store a year ago and had also left some belongings. He also mentioned that she had injuries at the time and didn’t look well.”
Han Yi was startled but didn’t panic. Instead, he focused on a sensitive issue.
“Time.”
“One year ago?”
Lu Li shook his head: “That’s right, one year ago. The owner recently sorted through the files and found the missing person booklet I had sent earlier. He then recalled that Yan Ru had briefly stayed there for a day a year ago.”
“But a year is a long time. Even if Yan Ru had a brief stopover, she would have been long gone by now.”
“Han junior brother, this is the only piece of information about Yan Ru in the last few years. Whether or not to investigate further is up to you.”
Lu Li handed a stack of documents to Han Yi, who nodded solemnly in response.
“Thankyou, Lu senior brother. I owe you a favor.”
Lu Li immediately beamed: “We’re fellow disciples, it’s only right.
A moment later, Han Yi left, while Lu Li let out another deep sigh. Comparing people could indeed make one upset. Han Yi reached Foundation Establishment Peak in less than ten years.
This level of natural talent was truly astonishing.
Lu Li didn’t know what Han Yi had been through during these years. If it had been any other Foundation Establishment cultivator, they would have died countless times already.
Han Yi’s strength was honed through countless trials.
Meanwhile.
Back in his quiet room, Han Yi first looked through the documents Lu Li had given him.
Located in Luofeng Country, Lingchuan City was not far from Daofu City and Tong City, where Han Yi had previously visited, and even closer to Nanhuai City, where he had completed the sect’s mission.
However.
The relationship between Xuandan Sect and Yuan Beast Sect had been tense recently. Both sects had forces in Luofeng Country, but the documents stated that the Yuan Beast Sect had withdrawn its businesses from Tong City three months earlier, so there was no need to worry.
What Han Yi was concerned about, of course, was not the Yuan Beast Sect but Yan Ru.
If, a year ago, Yan Ru had traveled east and then turned back north, she would have entered the territory of the Yuan Beast Sect, crossed the Evil Mountain Range, and arrived at Daqin. If she didn’t turn back, she would have passed through several major counties and entered Qianzhou.
However.
These were all just Han Yi’s speculations. Perhaps Yan Ru was still near Lingchuan City.
Therefore, no matter what, he had to make a trip to Lingchuan City.
Putting down the documents, Han Yi picked up the Jade Butterfly given to him by Zhuge Wu You.
Then, he pressed the Jade Butterfly to his forehead.
Instantly.
A stream of information flowed into his mind. This information was so vast that even with Han Yi’s current Divine Soul strength, it took him ten minutes to fully digest it.
A moment later, Han Yi put the Jade Butterfly into his Qiankun Ring, his face filled with contemplation.
There was much information in the Jade Butterfly, but the crux could be summarized in eight words.
Spirit Sea Three Transformations, Golden Core Three Tribulations.
When cultivators reach the Foundation Establishment stage, their Upper, Middle, and Lower Dantians undergo transformations simultaneously.
The most critical aspect for cultivators to break through from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core stage is the Spirit Sea. Only when they break through to the Nascent Soul stage will they mainly deal with their Divine Souls. What is called the Golden Core is the crystallized spiritual energy that forms at the core central position of the liquefied mana in the Spirit Sea of Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators.
This crystallized spiritual energy is the Golden Core.
The reason advancing to the Golden Core stage takes a long time is because of the Spirit Sea Three Transformations and Golden Core Three Tribulations that need to be experienced in the process of condensation.
Let’s start with the Golden Core Three Tribulations.
Heaven Tribulation, Human Tribulation, and Life Tribulation.
Heaven Tribulation refers to the disasters bestowed by the will of heaven and earth, including the Heavenly Demon Calamity that already existed during the Foundation Establishment stage, as well as other unknown catastrophes. According to the documents, the Heaven Tribulation is the most difficult to predict..
