Chapter 1311 - Chapter 1311 Chapter 544 Seven Layers of the Netherworld Book

Chapter 1311: Chapter 544: Seven Layers of the Netherworld Book, Pollution of Evil Mountain_2 Chapter 1311: Chapter 544: Seven Layers of the Netherworld Book, Pollution of Evil Mountain_2 This made Han Yi feel it was quite a coincidence.

But he immediately shook his head, thinking that such a connection was too far-fetched and it was probably just a coincidence.

He immediately shifted his attention and chose to cultivate the Sword Control Skill as his main combat Immortal Skill. One could even say, the stronger the Sword Control Skill, the stronger he was.

The Sword Control Immortal Skill had already reached the advanced tier of the sixth-order Immortal Skills. If he made further progress, entering the high-order tier, it would surely greatly enhance his combat power.

Besides that.

Once there was substantial progress in the Sword Control Immortal Skill, Han Yi planned to enhance his Taizhen state of the Ancient Gods and elevate his Supreme State to the peak level before heading to the Dangerous World, the holy land of the Ancient Gods, to traverse the Ultimate Void Divine Tribulation.

Once the Sword Control Immortal Skill was improved and he became an Ancient God of the Void Extreme Realm, Han Yi’s strength would surely advance by leaps and bounds. By then, he should have also reached the senior Golden Immortal Realm, no longer worrying about the assassination from the Black Realm Star Lord. Next, he would consider two things.

One was to obtain the Sword Heart in order to advance the Green Reed Sword to a Seventh Order Immortal Sword.

The other was to find the Wisdom Core left by Lingyuan Divine Realm or Knowing Heaven Immortal Realm in the past, to fill the Life Seeds.

The Sword Heart could be found in the Age Candle Immortal Court, but to obtain it, one must have made significant contributions. After all, a Sword Heart is equivalent to a Seventh Order Immortal Artifact.

Although Seventh Order is just one tier above the sixth, such tier of Immortal Artifacts already belongs to the Immortal Monarch level, where a hundred sixth-order Immortal Swords would not compare to a single Seventh Order Immortal Sword.

It was only after he reached the peak of the Golden Immortals that he would spend a long time cultivating the Wan Ming Tome.

This was the plan that Han Yi had adjusted.

After all, as an ordinary Golden Immortal, he estimated that it would take tens of thousands of years to cultivate the Wan Ming Tome to the tenth layer and induce a transformation.

But if he were at the peak Golden Immortal, this time could potentially shorten by tenfold, or even dozens of times.

This was the optimal choice he had devised.

After setting the plan, Han Yi first visited the Immortal Trading Palace’s Xianyi Pavilion. He appeared there every so often, occasionally participating in certain activities under the banner of Xianyi Pavilion to expand its influence.

Afterward, he went back to the Fairy Pavilion to continue cultivating.

Thanks to his accumulations in the Profound Immortal Realm and the reputation of being on the Golden Immortal List, the Immortal Court didn’t impose many compulsory tasks on him. Instead, through the Void Tower, they granted him countless Immortal Marks, ensuring that Han Yi’s cultivation was never short of resources. This was the preferential treatment bestowed on the outstanding talents.

When Han Yi reached the peak of the Golden Immortals, there might even be an Immortal Monarch to guide his path and assist him in ascending to the Immortal Monarch realm, adding another Immortal Monarch to the Immortal Court.

After all, no matter how numerous Golden Immortals were, they were not considered the core strength of the Immortal Court; only by reaching the Immortal Monarch could one significantly contribute to the Immortal Court.

However.

Merely three years later, Han Yi was awakened by a piece of news and left the Fairy Pavilion, heading straight for the Original Art Immortal Domain. From there, he moved to the neighboring Knowing Heaven Immortal Domain.

In the past.

When Donghuang raised his army and invaded the entire territory, he once conquered the Lingyuan Divine Realm, which was closer to the Evil Territory, flattened the Knowing Heaven Immortal Realm, and approached the Original Art Immortal Domain. Han Yi once thought about relocating his sect and had even established a branch in the Jade Lake Immortal Realm in advance.

However, later on, as Taiyi became the Heavenly Sovereign, the Evil Clan retreated rather than advancing, relinquishing control of the Knowing Heaven Immortal Realm and the Lingyuan Divine Realm, which reverted to the territory of Age Candle.

And this time, Han Yi rushed to the Knowing Heaven Immortal Domain, not because of the Evil Clan, but because of Evil Mountain.

As one of the three major dark organizations in the Daluo Immortal Realm, Evil Mountain consisted of Evil Cultivators and deflected Immortals. This organization’s actions were perverse and bizarre, full of malice and strangeness. Whenever it appeared, it brought pollution and great harm, and it was an organization that everyone would strike down.

This time Evil Mountain emerged in the Knowing Heaven Immortal Domain, contaminating a vast region–within this region alone, there were dozens of small and large Immortal Cities.

All these dozens of Immortal Cities had fallen and become evil cities, and whether Golden Immortals or Profound Immortals, all had lost contact.

Moreover.

The contamination from the Evil Clan showed no signs of stopping as it continued to spread outwards, with one of its directions heading towards the Original Art Immortal Domain.

Due to its proximity to the Original Art Immortal Domain, a Golden Immortal of the Original Art received news and went to investigate, only to be unexpectedly injured by a contaminated Evil Immortal. Wounded, he fled back and reported to the Original Art Dojo. Only then did the Original Art Immortal Monarch issue an order for the immortals of the Original Art Dojo to intervene and purify the area.

This message was aimed at all immortals of the Original Art Immortal Path, not just those in the dojo within the Immortal Domain, but also those who cultivated within the Immortal Court and had joined the Original Art.

In reality, Han Yi couldn’t refuse to go, but he encountered an urgent issue that forced him to temporarily put aside his cultivation and rush to the Knowing Heaven Immortal Domain.

The problem wasn’t complex; the region contaminated by the Evil Mountain Evil Immortals wasn’t far from the Original Art Immortal Domain, and its spread was headed right towards the Green Shu Mountain Range.

If left unchecked, within thirty years, the contaminated area would be able to extend its reach to the Green Shu Mountain Range.

Therefore, Han Yi left the Immortal Court and hurried to the Knowing Heaven Immortal Domain.

Of course, apart from him, quite a number of Golden Immortals and Profound Immortals were also mobilized. Ever since the Original Art Immortal Monarch had slain four Star Lords of the Black Realm, his cultivation had approached that of Yuan Sui Immortal Lord, who was first in ranking, and he had more Golden and Profound Immortals under his command. Some immortals from Yi Long Immortal Monarch’s fallen faction also defected to the Original Art.

Thus, this time, there were more than seventy Golden Immortals alone, thousands of Profound Immortals, and as for True Immortals, there were several tens of thousands.

Every instance of contamination caused by the Evil Mountain would provoke a combined attack from many immortals. On one hand, the Immortal Court would offer Immortal Mark rewards, and on the other, by annihilating the Evil Immortals, one would curry favor with the Heavenly Tao in an intangible way, enhancing one’s destiny. This enhancement also benefited one’s cultivation.

Therefore, the immortals were eager to exterminate the Evil Mountain Evil Immortals.

Han Yi didn’t follow the other Golden Immortals; he chose to operate alone.

Since his return from the Endless Void Immortal Castle Cluster, most of the time, he preferred to act alone because he did not trust immortals within the Immortal Court whom he was not familiar with.

Tentacles of the Black Realm stretched across the entire Daluo, and it wasn’t uncommon within the Age Candle; it was possible that any of the immortals he teamed up with could be an assassin from the Black Realm, and speaking of trouble, his whereabouts could be revealed, potentially drawing a Star Lord’s pursuit.

With his current Golden Immortal cultivation, facing an Immortal Monarch, he still lacked the power to fight, at most, similar to the previous encounter in the Endless Void, he could manage to injure the Immortal Monarch by using the Yue Guang Ancient God Weapon.

Therefore, when he now went out, he would be more vigilant than before, trying as much as possible not to reveal his whereabouts. This time going to the Knowing Heaven Immortal Domain, even the Original Art immortals didn’t know about it.

In the Knowing Heaven Immortal Domain, beside a broad river, Han Yi stood in the Void, looking out over the river and the opposite bank.

In his eyes, the scene before him was quite eerie.

The water in the river was stagnant, not flowing downstream but churning in place. Moreover, all the river water had turned into a gray-black color; it was less like water and more like some kind of strange liquid with a huge degree of contamination and toxicity.

The churning of the bizarre gray-black river water, like a massive, viscous liquid, was blocked in the riverbed, and at the upper reaches, there was also this strange liquid. However, looking further downstream from the contaminated area, there was actually a break in the flow.

Grains of the gray-black liquid would fall off in the churning, rolling down the dried riverbed downstream, and gradually, the land downstream was being contaminated. Underground water was drawn to the surface, merging with the gray-black liquid, gathering even more.

Thus, the contamination spread step by step further downstream.

And on the opposite side of the river, the forest was also contaminated; every tree had turned a gray-black color, not sparing even the leaves.

Moreover, upon closer observation, the trees, leaves, grass, and mountains were all motionless, as if even the wind had disappeared, extremely eerie.

Extending his view beyond the forest, a not-too-large Immortal City nested on the ground. The city, which should have been radiant with Spirit Light and Immortal Qi, was now completely silent. Leaving aside the Immortal Array that should have enveloped the Immortal City, even the city gates had no cultivators guarding them; it was utterly lifeless.

“This is contamination!”

Han Yi murmured, feeling no trace of life from the land before him and the Immortal City.

“No wonder when there is contamination from the Evil Mountain, the Immortal Court always strikes down with severity.”

“Moreover, even the will of the Daluo Immortal Realm favors and amplifies the fortune of those who kill the Evil Immortals.”

“If the contamination were allowed to spread, the entire Immortal Realm would become a land of death.”

Han Yi took a deep breath and slowly flew towards the river, preparing to cross to the other bank, but just as he was above the contaminated gray-black viscous strange river water, something startling occurred.
