Mount Luofu, located in Southern Guangdong, is known as the ancestor of the Baiyue mountains and the realm of Penglai, being one of the dragon veins of Huaxia. Liu Bowen, a master of calculations during the Ming Dynasty, visited Mount Luofu twice and remarked, "The true dragon lies across Mount Luofu Peak, its majestic aura spanning a hundred miles." It is said that during his travels through Southern Guangdong, Liu Bowen helped a family from the Sun Family living at the foot of Mount Luofu to identify a prime dragon vein that possessed imperial energy. This led to a descendant from that family achieving great success over three hundred years later.
Today, Mount Luofu is a famous scenic area in Southern Guangdong, but only a small portion is open to the public, leaving much of the mountain unexplored. Modern people are unaware that deep within the mountains reside cultivators.
Elder Brother Li followed the cultivator into the depths of the mountains and stopped at the peak of a mountain. The cultivator took out a jade pendant and infused it with spiritual energy, shining it towards a cliff below. The space rippled as if a water mirror had shattered; the scenery before them cracked open, revealing ancient buildings that echoed with another group of ancient structures suspended in mid-air.
The cultivator gestured for Elder Brother Li to enter.
"Brother Qingxu, you’re back? Master asked you to bring guests to Mystic Sound Palace," said a young girl who appeared to be around ten years old as she ran over to relay the message to the cultivator accompanying Elder Brother Li. Despite her youthful appearance, she was actually thirty-four years old. Elder Brother Li knew this because one could tell age by bone structure; it never lies.
"Understood," Qingxu nodded and released his Flying Sword, allowing Elder Brother Li to follow him as they flew toward the ancient buildings in the sky. The young girl watched their retreating figures with envy. The ancient buildings were once part of the secret realm of Luofu Cave. Since returning to Earth, every sect had suspended their secret realms in mid-air but rarely allowed disciples to enter; only those above Golden Core Stage were permitted to stay within for cultivation. At this moment, elders from various sects were entertaining guests in Mystic Sound Palace within the secret realm, indicating that this guest held an extraordinary status.
As soon as Elder Brother Li set foot in the secret realm, he paused slightly without alerting Qingxu beside him. Indeed, there was an array present—powerful yet seemingly depleted. Without sufficient energy support or a strong cultivator overseeing it, it could only exert about sixty percent of its original power. Nono learned from those cultivators that today’s Ten Yuan Confinement Killing Formation could trap and kill Nascent Soul Stage cultivators; if it were at full strength, even those at Great Ascension Stage would be in danger. It seemed these resurrected cultivators on Earth had quite a deep foundation.
"Mr. Li, please," Qingxu stood at the entrance of the hall and gestured for him to enter but did not follow inside himself. Once Li Weifeng stepped through the door, Qingxu swiftly departed from Mystic Sound Palace.
Elder Brother Li smirked and confidently walked into the hall. Immediately, he felt several powerful Divine Senses locking onto him. Looking around, he saw eleven cultivators above Golden Core sitting inside; four of them were Perfect Golden Elixirs, just half a step away from advancing to Nascent Soul. Yet that half step seemed insurmountable for them. Elder Brother Li spotted Hanno sitting beside these eleven individuals like an honored guest; upon seeing him enter, she winked playfully at him.
Elder Brother Li smiled back and addressed another person present: "You all went through so much trouble to invite me here; can I take my wife home now?"
"Not so fast. Our esteemed guest hasn't even had a cup of tea before wanting to leave; wouldn’t that be impolite?" spoke one of the Perfect Golden Elixir cultivators—Mu Xuan Laozu, Grand Elder of Mount Luofu—who had been instrumental in supporting Mount Luofu's sect leader along with other sects like Chicheng Mountain and Western Xuan Mountain against Elder Brother Li, intending to use Hanno as leverage against him regarding the so-called "secret realm."
"In that case, I’ll have a cup then," Elder Brother Li chuckled lightly and walked toward the only empty seat in the hall. The other cultivators couldn't help but smile when they saw him sit down in the chair reserved for him. Both Elder Brother Li and Hanno found it amusing that these people thought they could trap Elder Brother Li with an array that couldn’t even exert half its power—it was laughable. They hadn’t come merely to watch; Hanno had already neutralized most of the Ten Yuan Confinement Killing Formation during this brief time. Through their Divine Sense connection, she shared her findings with Elder Brother Li while none of these prominent figures in the cultivation world heard their communication.
"Please!" Mu Xuan Laozu raised his hand, causing a stone table to rise beside Elder Brother Li's seat with steaming tea placed atop it.
Elder Brother Li picked up the teacup and took a deep breath; amidst the refreshing aroma was a hint of Spiritual Energy. Before even tasting it, he praised aloud, "Excellent." Truly worthy of being from a prestigious sect that had lasted for millennia—though diminished now, its foundation remained strong. This spiritual tea might not compare to various celestial teas from the world of Flower Thousand Bones but was still remarkable; any ordinary person who took a sip would undoubtedly experience rejuvenation.
Mu Xuan Laozu smiled proudly and said, "If Mr. Li likes it, I can gift you a couple pounds."
"No need for that," Elder Brother Li refused. "The result of being greedy is to pay more. I have nothing to offer, so it's better not to."
Mu Xuan Laozu said, "You don't need to give us much, just tell us the location of the secret realm that allowed you to advance to the Nascent Soul stage."
It turned out these people thought they had obtained a secret realm similar to the Ten Great Caves, and one that possessed the laws of time. Elder Brother Li couldn't help but chuckle, putting down his teacup. "I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you; I don’t have any secret realm."
Only the Eastern Emperor Bell, an artifact that connects to other worlds.
Mu Xuan Laozu and the others thought it was normal for Elder Brother Li to deny it. If they had such a secret realm, they wouldn’t admit it to anyone else. The person sitting next to Hanno reached out and grabbed Hanno's neck, coldly asking, "Does Mr. Li not care about your wife's life?"
Elder Brother Li smirked. "You don’t have the ability to kill Nono!"
These people believed that with Elder Brother Li's capabilities at the Nascent Soul Stage, no one could kill Hanno in front of him, and they couldn’t help but sneer coldly. The Grand Elder of Wei Yu Mountain, Dongxu Ancestor, snorted disdainfully: "You’re already in dire straits; how can you still save others? Move!"
Before his voice faded, the scenery inside the hall suddenly changed. A mist enveloped Elder Brother Li. When he regained his senses, he found himself no longer in the hall but in a vast empty space with nothing around. Suddenly, the ground beneath him softened; it turned into a swamp that began dragging him down. Elder Brother Li hurriedly flew into the air, but before he could shake off the mud clinging to his legs, a fierce wind erupted in the previously calm sky, with tornadoes and wind blades rushing towards him…
Inside the hall, eleven Golden Core cultivators laughed triumphantly.
Mu Xuan Laozu said, "So what if he’s at the Nascent Soul Stage? A loose cultivator cannot compete with our well-established sects!"
Dongxu Ancestor scoffed, "Once trapped in the Ten Yuan Confinement Killing Formation, don’t expect to get out."
Zhu Ming Laozu, Grand Elder of Chicheng Mountain Sect, remarked, "We won’t kill Li Wei Feng directly in the formation, will we?"
Canghan Zhenren, the sect leader of Mount Luofu, assured him, "Don’t worry, Ancestor. We will be careful; at most we will cripple Li Wei Feng’s cultivation without taking his life."
Mu Xuan Laozu laughed heartily: "Without his cultivation, Li Wei Feng will be at our mercy. Even if he puts on a brave face, we can still search his soul. Heh heh, those who have their souls searched become idiots. Lady Li, do you still want such a husband?"
The cultivators looked towards Hanno after Mu Xuan Laozu's words but found her remarkably calm, showing no signs of worry for Elder Brother Li at all.
Canghan Zhenren couldn't help but ask, "It seems you have a lot of confidence in Mr. Li, young lady?"
Hanno smiled slightly. "Of course. But how could the Ten Yuan Confinement Killing Formation possibly trap my husband?"
The group of cultivators was taken aback. "How do you know about the Ten Yuan Confinement Killing Formation?"
They had never mentioned the name of the formation in front of Hanno.
With a flick of her hand, a teacup that Elder Brother Li hadn't finished appeared in her palm. "Ah, I just know."
"You, you..." The cultivators were astonished.
"Are you also a cultivator?" Mu Xuan Laozu exclaimed. "How is that possible?"
"Why is it not possible?" Hanno replied with a smile. "Is it because you can't sense my cultivation level? Fool, that's because my cultivation is stronger than yours, so you can't tell."
The eleven cultivators were shocked. A cultivator stronger than them? That could only mean she was at the Nascent Soul Stage! It turned out that not only Li Wei Feng but his wife was also a cultivator, and a powerful one at that! They had miscalculated; they had provoked two formidable opponents without realizing it—purely seeking death! The strength of the Nascent Soul Stage meant that they, eleven Golden Core Stage cultivators without the aid of formations, would not stand a chance even if they worked together! They had brought two unmatched adversaries upon themselves; their ancestral legacy was likely to be destroyed by their actions.
The cultivators hurriedly gathered together, nervously on guard against Hanno.
Hanno took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous; I won't make a move against you. Although you did have me kidnapped, you've been quite polite to me, so I won't do anything to you. If anyone is going to deal with you, it will be my Wei Feng; after all, you've caused him trouble! The Ten Yuan Confinement Killing Formation is indeed a rather powerful formation, but unfortunately, it consumes too much energy and lacks a reliable main formation master, reducing its power by more than half. At most, it can only trap and kill Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. But sorry to say, my Wei Feng is not at the Nascent Soul Stage. Yes, you heard me right—my Wei Feng is not at the Nascent Soul Stage; he is at the Transcendence Stage!"
