Chapter 649: Chapter 298: Void Projection, Boundless Dojo_3

Having agreed on a strategy, half an hour passed, and the Sect voice transmission array activated. Lian Tingxi’s message came through, stating that the projection had stopped spreading and was also receding.

Zhuge Wu You breathed a sigh of relief, while Han Yi raised his eyebrows, hesitating for a moment before making up his mind. He headed back to the Evil Mountain. Arriving at the edge of the Evil Mountain, he could see the magnificent projection, which had now retreated into the forest, the speed still gradually increasing.

Lian Tingxi and the Foundation Establishment elders surrounded him.

“Your Majesty, the projection just stopped not far away, and then began to shrink back. Now it has shrunk back to Evil Mountain, and its speed is getting faster and faster. We think this Void Projection is going to disperse,” Lian Tingxi explained with a lighter tone than before.

If the sect didn’t have to relocate, it was obviously better. The last relocation had happened only about thirty years ago.

During these thirty years, the Xuandan Sect had managed this territory, but not thoroughly enough. Not long ago, they had also taken over Sumeru Valley, and Han Yi had just become famous and his majesty as a true monarch enveloped the nearby regions.

After Sumeru Valley was destroyed by Han Yi, two weaker Golden Core Sects that were not too far away had already relocated to prevent being annexed by the Xuandan Sect. Their destination was the Eastern Sea Region, which had inspired the relocation discussed by the Xuandan Sect at the conference.

Han Yi nodded, agreeing that the projection was gradually withdrawing.

It was easy to understand. The spherical projection could be likened to a small world. As the distance between that world and the Yu Heng World got closer, the overlapping parts increased and the speed first accelerated and then slowed down. However, after reaching its closest point, the small world would gradually move away from the Yu Heng World, and the overlapping parts would gradually decrease, until finally, it would completely separate and the projection would naturally dissipate.

After considering it, Han Yi said to Lian Tingxi, “You guys should not act recklessly for now. This projection may expand again, so we need to be cautious. Wait here for me; I will go into the Evil Mountain to investigate.”

As soon as his words fell, he flashed into the Evil Mountain without giving Lian Tingxi a chance to speak. Lian Tingxi wanted to say something, but just sighed. He knew that Han Yi, as a true monarch, was elusive and rarely stayed in the sect, often leaving for several years or even more than a decade.

However, since he had become a true monarch, his will could not be influenced by others. Lian Tingxi could not advise, and did not dare to advise, nor could he persuade him.

On the other side.

After Han Yi entered Evil Mountain, he approached the illusory light curtain and found that the area had not changed after the light curtain had withdrawn. Looking at the heavily fortified camps on Feilei Mountain, he realized that those were the camps that the Robbing Cultivators from Feilei Mountain had failed to destroy in time when they fled during Han Yi’s battle with the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Although the items had not been moved, the cultivators were nowhere to be seen. It was mentioned that officials of Daqian had been sent into the illusory light curtain. Among them were a Spirit Transformation cultivator, seven true monarchs, and dozens of Golden Core cultivators. Later, Lord Changsheng from Yujing Mountain also entered after briefly investigating the situation.

Not only had these two entered, but also the three major sects, numerous Nascent Soul Great Sects, many Golden Core Sects, and countless loose cultivators, true monarchs, Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, and even Qi-refining cultivators had entered.

As for the Xuandan Sect, they were unaware that they had been trapped and Shen Ping was among them.

For the Xuandan Sect, this was a sect extermination disaster. The urgent matter was to prepare for defense and relocation. However, for other cultivators, this could be a rare opportunity.

As time went by, the illusory light curtain gradually slowed down, but still continued to shrink unswervingly.

As he got closer, Han Yi couldn’t suppress the red light within him any longer. He took out the Suizhu Command Tablet from his body. The tablet was black, but red light, like fire, flickered slightly on its surface.

However, this was still suppressed by Han Yi’s divine consciousness. If he didn’t suppress it, the Suizhu Command Tablet might have other abnormalities, such as manifesting a portal of flame or directly entering the projection.

Although Han Yi was only at the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stage, he might not have been strong enough to suppress the token. However, at this moment, he had already become a True Monarch, with great strength. This token was just a lower-ranked Immortal Mansion token, and naturally, it couldn’t resist him.

Furthermore…

Han Yi released the restraint on the Green Reed Sword behind him, and the sword circled around him, seeming eager and puzzled. However, Han Yi sensed the source of its emotional change within this light curtain.

Han Yi pacified the Green Reed Sword and continued to suppress the Age Candle Command Tablet. As the light curtain shrank, he walked forward. Although the speed of the light curtain’s contraction was fast, it was naturally far from catching up with him.

He finally made up his mind after going deep into Feilei Mountain for about six hundred miles, and stepped into the light curtain in one stride.

For him, the sect had already been left behind without him, and along with the two Soul Slaves, there were no worries even if cultivators below Nascent Soul stage were around. Han Yi had just blocked the entrance to the Wanfa Sect not long ago, displaying the authority of a True Monarch. Even if other True Monarchs disliked him, they wouldn’t take advantage of his absence to deal with the Xuandan Sect. Once they made a move, it would be a fight to the death. If Han Yi appeared, he might even take the opportunity to exterminate their sect.

This was the reason why Yuan Shun had not appeared before, and the Wanfa Sect only acted cautiously and did not dare to truly make a move.

At the level of True Monarchs, they already had a powerful deterrent effect in terms of strategy. If they couldn’t obliterate the opposing True Monarch, killing low-level cultivators secretly would result in equal retaliation. In the end, both sects would face extermination.

With the sect properly arranged and now free of great concern, coupled with the perception of the Green Reed Sword, and the anomaly of the Age Candle Command Tablet, Han Yi decided to explore this Void World after careful consideration.

Thankfully, during the year he spent back at the sect, he had already made significant progress in terms of skills, realms, and spiritual treasures. His strength had improved at least twice as much as when he was at Qing Chi Mountain. He believed that he would be even more capable of dealing with a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator should he encounter one.

As he stepped forward, the light and shadow changed rapidly, with layers of light curtains flashing in the surrounding space. He could no longer see the way he had come from, and at the farthest point, the twisting emptiness of darkness churned in the distance.

Much to Han Yi’s surprise, he thought that he would soon enter another world with just one step. However, in reality, the changes in light and shadow continued endlessly, making him feel as if he was in some kind of passage, similar to when he participated in the Immortal Hunt in Two Realms Mountain and went to the Fragmented Immortal World.

It wasn’t until a full incense burning time had passed that Han Yi felt his body sink and step on thin air, with a great force pulling him down at a rapid speed.

Luckily, Han Yi had experienced the Immortal Hunt in the past and quickly adjusted his posture. He used his magic power to maintain his position just dozens of meters above the ground and landed safely.

However, the massive force enveloped him in an instant, causing his breath to become slightly rapid.

“Back in the Immortal Hunt, it only took half an incense burning time, but this time it’s a full incense burning time. Does that mean I’m now in a place even more remote than the Fragmented Immortal World?”

“However, something is not right. This time, there wasn’t any Two Realms Mountain as a transfer point, and it didn’t feel like when I returned through the Void Prison.”

“Moreover, the gravity here… no, it’s not gravity. It’s not the downward force of gravity, but a majestic and oppressive force in every direction.”

“Even a True Monarch feels suffocated, and a Golden Core cultivator would be barely able to move. A Qi Refining cultivator would instantly die.”

“What exactly is this place?”

Han Yi suddenly raised his head and looked forward, only to see a boundless…

Daoist training ground.
