A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

The Panlong Spear transformed into a winding, coiling black dragon. After letting out a roar, it shattered half of the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator's body with a speed that even a Foundation Establishment cultivator could hardly dodge.

Yunhua took the storage bag and then disposed of the body in one fell swoop. He then looked at Han Li, who had noticed Yunhua and was preparing to activate the formation.

"Brother Han, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. You'll enjoy immortality from now on," Yunhua said jokingly.

"Brother Yun, you flatter me. I'm only at the Foundation Establishment stage, far from enough. But Brother Yun's cultivation is truly remarkable, making me feel ashamed." Han Li was indeed somewhat amazed by Yun Hua's powerful combat strength.

"Brother Han, how did you offend this person? He actually ignored that this is Huangfeng Valley's territory."

"He must be here to hunt down Senior Brother Ye. He thinks I'm in cahoots with Senior Brother Ye," Han Li said with a wry smile.

"Is your Senior Brother Ye alright?" Yunhua asked.

"Senior Brother Ye has died from his serious injuries. Brother Yun, let's go inside and talk." Han Li invited Yun Hua to sit in his cave.

Therefore, the one who attacked Han Li's cave should be Senior Brother Lin, one of the treasure-giving boys in the original work. His true identity is a member of the Western Thousand Bamboo Sect, and he possesses the fourth level of the Great Evolution Technique, which ended up benefiting Han Li.

As Yunhua followed Han Li into the cave, she took stock of the spoils of war. First was the famous Great Evolution Technique, then some top-tier magic artifacts, and finally a manual on puppetry.

"Brother Yun, please sit down. My humble abode has just been opened, and I apologize for any shortcomings in our hospitality." Han Li invited Yun Hua to sit on the stone bench and poured him a cup of spiritual tea.

"Brother Yun, these are the various medicinal herb seeds that you entrusted me to collect back then. Please accept them." Han Li took out a storage bag and handed it to Yun Hua, seemingly having prepared it for a long time.

"Haha! Thank you, Brother Han. Let me show you the items in that storage bag. I believe you'll be interested." Yun Hua took out the Great Evolution Manual and its matching puppet secretary.

Han Li's interest was piqued, and he took the book to read it carefully.

"Brother Yun, I didn't see anything special either?" Han Li asked, frowning in confusion.

"Haha, if I'm not mistaken, this Great Evolution Technique is a secret cultivation method of the Thousand Bamboo Sect in the far west. It's a rare spiritual cultivation method that increases the chances of forming a core. Here's a copy for you." Yun Hua printed a copy and handed it to Han Li.

"Thank you for your explanation, Brother Yun. I recently obtained a cultivation technique, but my cultivation level keeps disappearing inexplicably. I would appreciate it if you could enlighten me," Han Li said, taking out a golden page.

Upon inspection, Yunhua confirmed it was the Azure Origin Sword Manual and replied, "This technique is called the Azure Origin Sword Manual. Its accompanying Three-Turn Rejuvenation Technique is the root cause of your cultivation's disappearance. This technique can also increase the chances of Core Formation by refining the true essence of a Foundation Establishment cultivator three times."

"I see, it really was a coincidence." Han Li was delighted to have obtained two cultivation techniques that would increase the chances of forming a core.

"Brother Yun, what have you been doing all these years? I've been cultivating in Yellow Maple Valley for years, and only recently reached the Foundation Establishment stage." Han Li was curious about Yun Hua's experiences, since he hadn't been out for a long time.

"After we parted ways, I went to the Tianxing Sect Market and bought a lot of cultivation arts to learn. Later, I met a female cultivator with superb array skills named Xin Ruyin."

She suffered from the Dragon Roar Physique, and I helped her resolve her constitution issue. She taught me formation techniques. Two years later, we became Daoist partners and opened a general store together, selling magical artifacts and formation plates.

Until recently, I went on a trip and first visited the Tai Nan Small Gathering from back then, and then visited Jia Yuan City and Qi Xuan Gate.

Afterwards, they went to the capital of the Yue Kingdom.

"Brother Yun, you are truly blessed. With such a beautiful woman by your side, how carefree you must be! You are the envy of everyone else," Han Li exclaimed.

"By the way, Brother Han, I've received news that the Six Paths of the Demonic Sect of Tianluo Kingdom will attack Yue Kingdom. Brother Han, you should make plans as soon as possible," Yunhua reminded him.

"Won't the sects of Yue Kingdom just sit idly by?" Han Li asked.

"The strength of the Six Paths of the Demonic Sect in Tianluo Kingdom far surpasses that of the Demonic Sect. This time, the Six Paths of the Demonic Sect are determined to succeed and have already bribed the Spirit Beast Mountain," Yunhua explained.

"This is troublesome." Han Li was thinking of running away. As for Yun Hua's words, he didn't question them. Yun Hua had no reason to lie to him.

"If Brother Han doesn't want to get involved, you can come with me. I've discovered an ancient teleportation array," Yunhua invited.

"Thank you for informing me, Brother Yun." With a way out, Han Li was no longer flustered.

Yunhua handed Han Li a communication jade talisman: "This is a communication jade talisman. Brother Han, you can notify me after you are ready. At most four years, the Six Paths of the Demonic Sect will invade. I will only wait for you for one year."

"Alright, Brother Yun, take care. I'll see you off," Han Li and Yun Hua got up and left the cave.

"Brother Han, please stop here. Take care. Farewell." Yunhua leaped onto his flying sword and headed towards a desolate mountain.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Core Formation

Yunhua found a remote, desolate mountain, casually carved out a cave dwelling, and took out a large number of spirit stones to set up several large formations, such as formations for gathering spirit energy, defense, and concealing spiritual energy. Yunhua planned to break through to the Core Formation stage here.

Yunhua, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, took out many high-grade spirit stones to provide pure spiritual power. His three dantian were full and overflowing, and the three vortexes spun rapidly. Immediately, a few crystals appeared in the center of the vortexes.

A month later, all the true essence was compressed into three golden pills the size of pigeon eggs. The upper dantian condensed the soul power golden pill, which nourished the primordial spirit. The middle dantian condensed the qi pill, which nourished the dharma form. The lower dantian condensed the divine power golden pill, which nourished the true blood and opened up thirty-six acupoints throughout the body.

At this moment, Yunhua's cultivation was completely stable. With three Golden Cores and seventy-two acupoints, his true essence was as profound as that of a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

Just as Yunhua was comprehending his realm, dark clouds rolled in above the desolate mountain. Sensing this, Yunhua immediately flew to the desolate mountain to prepare for his tribulation.

The tribulation lightning in the mortal world is indeed not very powerful, at least not as powerful as his Four Extremes Secret Realm Tribulation.

Yun Hua didn't block the first tribulation lightning; he directly took it head-on with his body to test the waters. Well, it certainly didn't disappoint Yun Hua. Since this body was completely inferior to his original body in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, even this relatively weak tribulation lightning still injured Yun Hua.

Yunhua took out the Panlong Spear and used the Divine Dragon Tail Sweep to disperse the second lightning bolt. He then used the Dragon Battle in the Wild to overcome the third lightning bolt.

It wasn't until the ninth tribulation lightning, which had been brewing for a long time, that Yunhua managed to withstand it by sacrificing several top-tier magical artifacts.

This tribulation destroyed most of Yunhua's top-tier magical artifacts, rendering them useless even after he reached the Core Formation stage.

Looking into the distance, Yunhua noticed that some people were approaching, but she didn't bother to waste time arguing with them.

He rode on the Panlong Spear and flew towards the Tianxing Sect Market.

In half a day, Yunhua arrived at the Bamboo Grove Cottage. Pushing open the door, it still felt familiar.

"Ruyin, I'm back." Yunhua looked at Xin Ruyin, who was sitting in the same posture as when they first met, and felt a pang of longing.

"Brother Yun, welcome back." Xin Ruyin stood up and hugged Yun Hua.

"We're going to run away this time." Yunhua told Xin Ruyin about what had happened along the way, planning to take her to the Chaotic Star Sea with him.

“Brother Yun, I’m willing to go with you, but you have to bring Xiaomei with you.” Xin Ruyin also knew what was important.

After returning, Yunhua and Xin Ruyin spent a few days in blissful intimacy before closing the shops in Tianxing Sect Market.

In the following months, Yunhua purchased a large amount of materials for refining magical artifacts, as well as some cultivation supplies that were rare or unavailable in the Chaotic Star Sea.

In a secluded cultivation room, Yunhua was refining a magic weapon. This refining technique was created by Yunhua himself, combining the Dao patterns of the Shrouding the Heavens world, the magical restrictions of the Immortal Execution world, and the rune restrictions of the Mortal World, which could form a perfect combination of the three systems of weapon refining techniques within the magic weapon.

Forged by the Eight Desolate Dragon Fire, a wheel-shaped magic weapon with a neat, long tip was successfully crafted. The golden wheel had sixteen sharp serrations, giving it the appearance of the sun.

That's right, this is Yunhua cosplaying the Supreme Heavenly Wheel, which has the functions of cutting and binding. After refining it, it automatically appears behind Yunhua's head. Combined with the Hundred Illusions Immortal Robe magic weapon he refined earlier, and holding the Panlong Spear, he looks just like a god.

After leaving the secluded room, Yunhua approached Xin Ruyin, who was cooking medicinal cuisine, and patted her on the shoulder.

"Ruyin, look at your man, isn't he handsome?"

"Handsome, Brother Yun is the most handsome." Xin Ruyin looked at Yun Hua helplessly, as if looking at a naughty child, but the hint of amazement in her eyes could not escape Yun Hua's discerning eyes.

A month later, Han Li sent word that he had packed up and agreed to meet in Jiayuan City. So Yun Hua, along with Xin Ruyin and Xiao Mei, flew away from Yuanwu Kingdom in a flying boat.

Xin Ruyin and Xiao Mei, who had never left home before, looked around at the scenery they flew past: steep mountains, terraced fields built around the mountains, vast plains, and snow-capped peaks that stretched across the sky.

The two chattered excitedly about the beautiful scenery, while Yunhua sat alone at the front of the flying boat, drinking fine wine.

This may be the last time the two of them see the scenery of Tiannan. Although it is also their first time visiting the Chaotic Star Sea, they may never return.

In Jiayuan City, at the Mo residence, Han Li has been staying for the past few days. The reason is that the Qu Hun he left behind suddenly left the Mo residence on its own one day. Han Li only arrived a few days ago and just received the news.

Upon arriving above Jiayuan City, Yunhua led the two to the Mo residence. After jumping off the flying boat, they saw Han Li emerge from his room to greet them, followed by Mo Caihuan and the other two women.

"Brother Yun, I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner. Please come in. This must be Fellow Daoist Xin and Xiao Mei. Please come in quickly." Han Li greeted the group and invited them inside for a detailed discussion.

"Brother Yun, let me introduce you. This is Mo Caihuan, Mo Fengwu, and Mo Yuzhu."

"Greetings, Miss Mo. My name is Yun Hua."

"Greetings, Young Master Yun!" the three exclaimed in unison.

After sitting down in the reception hall, Han Li told Yun Hua about Qu Hun and wanted to ask her why.

"If I'm not mistaken, Qu Hun's body should have been possessed by some cultivator. If there are any items carrying Qu Hun's aura, perhaps we can still find it," Yun Hua speculated.

“Yes, there is a Soul Control Bell, which was originally used to control Qu Hun,” Mo Caihuan replied immediately.

"That's good. Ruyin, you and Xiaomei settle in at the Mo residence first. Han Li and I will go look for them."

Yunhua took the Soul Control Bell, used a secret technique, and following the direction indicated by the Soul Control Bell, Han Li and Yunhua flew away on their swords.

"It turns out to be in a small town next to Jiayuan City," Yunhua said.

"Then let's go down quickly." Han Li and Yun Hua immediately flew down.

They arrived at a blacksmith's shop and saw a man resembling Zhang Tie forging iron.

"Fellow Daoist, why do you occupy this body?" Han Li asked.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists. I am Gu Si, a cultivator from Spirit Beast Mountain. I foresaw the evil cultivators of the Spirit Control Sect and fought a great battle with them. Although I killed them, I was also seriously injured and died. Fortunately, I discovered your human puppet, so I was not completely destroyed."

"In that case, I'll give this body to you," Han Li said. Although Qu Hun was the body of his close friend Zhang Tie, he couldn't very well ask him to leave this body, since each person could only possess one body.

"Hmph! Full of lies. You're a Core Formation cultivator from the Spirit Control Sect, right? You were trying to deliver messages about the Spirit Control Sect to Spirit Beast Mountain, but you were intercepted and killed by those from Spirit Beast Mountain who refused to submit." Yun Hua wouldn't tell them that she had read the original story.

"Fellow Daoist is too kind. I am a disciple of the Spirit Beast Mountain who ambushed the Core Formation cultivator of the Spirit Control Sect."

"Still lying, your words don't make sense." Yunhua used a primordial spirit attack technique to condense her primordial spirit into a small sword and stab it towards the man's brow.

"Fellow Daoist, spare my life! Ah! Damn it! Why won't you let me go? You'll die too!" He used the power of his broken golden core to wield the magic weapon, the Green Radiance Sword, and stabbed at Yun Hua.

The Green Radiance Sword was knocked away by the Panlong Spear, and the man's soul was also shattered by the Yunhua Primordial Spirit Sword.

"Here you go with the Green Radiance Sword, its quality is too poor." Yunhua tossed the Green Radiance Sword to Han Li.

"I'll go find his storage bag and spirit beast bag."

Yunhua arrived at a cave, which was the location that Yunhua had found through his divine sense scan.

A gigantic level 4 golden-backed mantis demon charged toward Yunhua at incredible speed, its massive scythe aimed at Yunhua's chest.

"Hmph! You've already chosen your own death." Yunhua took out the Supreme Heavenly Wheel, and with a flash of light, the Golden-backed Mantis Demon's head was severed.

The Blood Jade Spider, released from its spirit beast pouch, fed the Golden-backed Mantis Demon to it. The Blood Jade Spider had already been cultivated by Yunhua into a level five demon beast, equivalent to the early stage of Core Formation.

Upon entering the cave, a corpse sat cross-legged in a corner. Yunhua took out a storage bag, looked at the items inside, and pursed his lips.

This cultivator from the Spirit Control Sect was a penniless wretch, probably because he had only recently broken through to the Core Formation stage and most of his wealth had been used to buy materials for refining magical artifacts.

The storage bag contained only some mid-grade spirit stones and leftover magic weapon materials, but the only valuable items were a Dust-Reducing Pill and Snow Spirit Water, which were used to increase the chances of forming a core.

Han Li and Yun Hua returned to the Mo family mansion and discussed going to the ancient teleportation array the next day to leave Tiannan directly.

"I want to go too, Brother Han, please take me with you!" The youngest, Mo Cai, clung to Han Li's arm and acted coquettishly.

"Don't be silly. You're just a mortal. Don't drag Brother Han and the others down with you," the eldest sister, Mo Yuzhu, scolded.

"Um, Brother Yun, what do you think?" Han Li asked, somewhat troubled.

"It's up to you. Take it if you like. I'm afraid it won't stay with you for long. I also have cultivation methods that don't require spiritual roots." Yunhua wanted to see what Han Li would choose. This part wasn't in the original story.

"In that case, you can go wherever you want." Han Li was too lazy to choose and left the decision to them.

"Let me make this clear first, we may never come back from there. Besides, we don't know what the situation is like over there, and it might be very dangerous," Yunhua warned.

"I want to go, I want to go with Brother Han." This was the innocent and adorable Mo Caihuan.

"I'll go too, please take me with you, Brother Han." This was Mo Fengwu, a young lady from a prominent family.

"I won't go. I still need to take care of my mother and manage the Mo family's businesses." This was the spirited Mo Yuzhu.

"In that case, let's get ready quickly. Those who want to cultivate should go find Xiaomei," Yunhua concluded.

Although Mo Yuzhu didn't go, she still went to learn the martial arts. After all, no woman could resist the allure of eternal youth.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Sea of ​​Chaotic Stars

The next day, Yunhua led everyone on a flying boat towards the spirit stone mine that contained the teleportation array.

"Cultivating immortality is truly wonderful; one can see scenery that ordinary people would never witness in their entire lives," exclaimed Mo Caihuan aboard the flying boat.

"The cultivation world is also extremely cruel. Soon, the Six Paths of the Demonic Sect will invade Yue Kingdom, and a large number of cultivators will die then," Yunhua replied.

“But cultivating immortality allows one to control their own destiny, doesn’t it?” Mo Fengwu said.

"Haha, that's true. If I weren't cultivating immortality, I might still be in the Seven Mysteries Sect," Han Li sighed.

"Is that the spirit stone mine down there, Brother Yun?" Xin Ruyin asked expectantly.

"Yes, the ancient teleportation array is below. Let's go down."

Yunhua led the group to a secluded place. As they entered, the environment changed, and they found themselves in a cave that Yunhua had dug out, which led directly to a teleportation array.

"As expected of an ancient teleportation array, it is indeed profound." Xin Ruyin stroked the array patterns.

The group stood in the center of the teleportation array, and Yunhua activated the array that concealed the strange phenomena caused by the chaotic spiritual energy when the teleportation array was activated.
