?Chapter 931: Volume 6 Heavenly Skill and Spiritual Treasures Chapter 928 Yueyang Palace Chapter 931: Volume 6 Heavenly Skill and Spiritual Treasures Chapter 928 Yueyang Palace Long State is located at the border of central and western Great Jin.
The state is known for its high mountains and poisonous snakes and insects.
Unlike other provinces, this vast state is controlled only by the Daoist Yueyang Palace and the Demon Wood Sect from the ten great sects.
External powers simply cannot interfere with anything in Long State.
Moreover, the local cultivation forces within the state are inconsequential small sects, posing no threat to these two super sects, and must submit to seek protection under them.
The entire Long State is firmly under the control of these two powers, forming a situation where two strong forces stand against each other in the east and the west.
Yueyang Palace is located in the Tianyue Mountain Range within Xichuan Prefecture.
The mountain range, spanning over a hundred thousand miles, is full of desolate and endless ridges.
Yueyang Palace sits atop a giant peak called Southern Sky Peak within the center of these mountains, and its tens of thousands of disciples are scattered throughout the surrounding mountains, managing the heart of Tianyue Mountain Range like an impregnable fortress.
It was impossible for any cultivator to even think of challenging Yueyang Palace, let alone the rare bold individuals who could not penetrate the thirteen layers of the Great Unbreakable Formations laid out from inside to outside of the Southern Sky Peak.
However, one day, a group of Yueyang Palace disciples, having just flown by on their magical instruments from an uninhabited mountain at the edge of the mountain range, suddenly witnessed a flash of green light on the originally empty mountain peak.
Then, a young man in a green robe appeared standing hands held behind his back on a stone cliff, silently watching the disappearing backs of the Yueyang Palace disciples, his face expressionless.
It was Han Li!
“Little Han, are you really going to make a move against Yueyang Palace?

I don’t think this is a good idea.
Yueyang Palace ranks among the top five even among the Daoist Ten Great Sects.
It’s not an entity to be provoked lightly,” Monarch Great Development transmitted through his divine sense.
“I’m well aware of this.
However, we’ve nearly gathered all the materials for the Three Flame Fan, both openly and secretly.
All that’s left are the long feathers of the Haoyang Bird and the scales of the Redfire Flood Dragon.
The Redfire Flood Dragon isn’t too concerning; we’ve already received news from the city market that several fierce flood dragons have appeared on the eastern coast of Great Jin, swallowing cultivators on the shore.
It seems one of them is a Redfire Flood Dragon-or if not, it’s another fire-attribute flood dragon.
We might try our luck there.
However, the Haoyang Bird, we’ve asked around all the southern city markets, and only Yueyang Palace houses this kind of spiritual bird.
Where else could we go, if not here?
Yueyang Palace is difficult to provoke, but we must face the challenge head-on,” said Han Li indifferently.
“Why don’t you just avoid Yueyang Palace and ask them directly for it instead of making a stealth move?
With your mid-Nascent Soul stage and a few rare treasures to offer, they might just give you face,” Monarch Great Development said, chuckling.
“Senior must be joking.
Exchanges only work when both parties are roughly equal in strength.
I am only a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and Yueyang Palace has great cultivators at the late-Nascent Soul stage.
They won’t consider my cultivation level significant.
Furthermore, Yueyang Palace clearly regards the two Haoyang Birds as their sect’s hereditary spiritual birds and won’t allow someone to pluck their feathers, causing significant harm to the birds’ cultivation.
The treasures I could offer for exchange might seem too trivial for them or, if they’re too rare, might tempt them to commit murder for loot.
I am an outsider loose cultivator within their domain; Yueyang Palace doesn’t need to show any concern.
I’m not interested in leaving my safety at the mercy of their whims.
If I had a late-Nascent Soul stage cultivation, perhaps I would indeed try as you suggest,” said Han Li with a cold laugh.
“That makes sense.
However, you’ve been hanging around the edges of the mountain range for more than ten days.
Are you just going to wait for the Haoyang Bird to come out on its own?
And from your actions, it seems like you’re searching for something.
What exactly are you planning?” Monarch Great Development said, admitting Han Li’s point but growing curious about his recent actions.
“It’s nothing, just searching for a suitable place to set a trap,” Han Li said with a slight smile, his eyes gleaming.
“Setting a trap?
I knew it.
Since you dare consider targeting Yueyang Palace, you must have some tricks up your sleeve.
Tell me about it,” Monarch Great Development said with a light laugh.
“Hehe, once I’ve found the right place, senior will know all the details.
As for which of the two Haoyang Birds in Yueyang Palace is more suitable to target-” Han Li glanced toward the center of the mountain range, murmuring to himself.
“Is that even a question?
The larger Haoyang Bird is said to have cultivation equivalent to a grade eight demonic beast.
Do you think you can deal with that in a short time?” Monarch Great Development said dismissively.
“That’s true.
If it weren’t for the fact that such ancient spiritual birds are extremely difficult to become spiritually wise and transform into humans in the human world, why would they willingly be subjected to Yueyang Palace’s control?
I have no confidence in handling such a great divine-powered spiritual bird.
As for the smaller one, it’s said to be slightly weaker, only seventh grade.
It shouldn’t be too difficult to deal with,” Han Li contemplated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
“However, if you use the feather of the grade eight Haoyang Bird to refine the Three Flame Fan, its power would certainly be greater,” Monarch Great Development said with some regret.
“Forget it.
Where in the world is there such a thing as perfection?
Dealing with a grade eight Haoyang Bird isn’t without its opportunities; it’s just too risky.
A slight delay could alert the cultivators of Yueyang Palace.
I don’t want to repeat the scenario of being pursued and severely injured in the Heaventide Prairies, do I?
It would be safer to deal with the smaller Haoyang Bird!” Han Li shook his head and said.
“Mm.
Your thinking isn’t bad.
However, whether large or small, the Haoyang Birds spend most of their time inside Yueyang Palace, only occasionally coming out to roam within a hundred miles of the palace.
They rarely leave the heart of the mountain range.
To succeed, it will depend on the skills you display.” Monarch Great Development whispered with a smile, his voice filled with anticipation.
“Rest assured.
Previously, using the Dreamtear Technique, I got the flying routine of the Haoyang Birds from a disciple of Yueyang Palace.
The palace staff, fearing that the two spiritual birds together would be hard to manage, deliberately release them at staggered times each month to get some air.
This is our opportunity,” Han Li said with a cold laugh, confidently.
“Since you understand the situation, there’s no need for this old man to give further guidance.
But do make sure you don’t delay the Jingjing City Auction.
There are still a few materials I need for my puppet that I should be able to find there.” Monarch Great Development, recalling something, spoke admonishingly.
“The Jingjing City Auction, as one of the three major auctions of Great Jin held only once every ten years, I naturally won’t miss it.
Once this matter here is settled, we’ll rush to Jinjing, then head to the eastern part of Great Jin to look for those malicious flood dragons,” Han Li said, his mind having planned everything already, speaking with composure.
“That’s good.
But speaking of which, your actions during this period have really impressed me.
I originally thought collecting so many materials would take at least three or four years, but you’ve been working on multiple fronts.
You’ve even employed blatant robbery without hesitation.
In just one year, you’ve almost gathered all the necessary materials.
Tsk tsk, such decisiveness was indeed unexpected,” Monarch Great Development couldn’t help but express his amazement, his voice laden with laughter, evidently very pleased with Han Li’s actions.
“I would have preferred to search for the materials slowly and more securely, but time waits for no one.
Although your Primordial Spirit is nourished by the Soul Nurturing Tree, it’s obviously much weaker than before.
If I want to witness your Nascent Soul puppet in person, I must hurry,” Han Li’s expression shifted, his voice pausing for a moment before he continued calmly.
“You really have the heart.
I also know that I can’t hide from your Divine Sense.
At most, I can hold on for another three or four years before my Primordial Spirit truly dissipates.
However, seeing the speed at which you collect materials, there’s a good chance that you’ll be able to craft this puppet before I reincarnate,” Monarch Great Development said with a bitter laugh, his tone resigned.
“Ever since the elder met me, you’ve helped me many times.
Han Li is not ungrateful or unappreciative; I have always kept these in mind.
I will certainly do my utmost to help fulfill your wishes,” Han Li said seriously, taking a deep breath.
“Cough.
Honestly, I help you mostly for self-preservation.
After all, if I were to fall into the hands of others, my end wouldn’t be much better,” Monarch Great Development also stated this significant truth with a touch of sentiment.
Han Li smiled, then his body shook and a green light flickered.
His entire form dissolved into the wind and he vanished from view once more…
Two days later, Han Li appeared in another small valley.
This valley was blanketed by a vast peach forest, dusting the entire area in pink.
With peach blossoms all over the ground, it was truly a place of scenic beauty.
Han Li floated above the valley, observing everything within and extending his Divine Sense to scour the surrounding hundred miles.
A satisfied expression finally appeared on his face.
“Good, this place is remote, with no cultivators from Yueyang Palace nearby, and the valley is well-suited for setting up arrays.
This will be the spot,” Han Li murmured to himself, then turned into a green rainbow and descended into the center of the peach forest.
Without another word, Han Li immediately got busy in the valley.
He set up seven or eight different types of arrays with formation flags and plates in one go, most of which were restrictive formations that blocked auras and isolated Spiritual Energy.
There were only two or three true combat-effective formations.
Furthermore, he deployed a separate Illusion Array over these to largely conceal the true appearance of the peach forest.
Monarch Great Development, curious at heart, managed to hold back his questions, continuing to watch Han Li’s preparations with a cold eye.
After setting everything up, Han Li didn’t immediately take any action, but instead sat cross-legged in the center of the peach forest, entering a meditative state…(To be continued, for more please visit www.qidian.com.
