Three Heavens Mixed Yuan Palace

Given the perilous nature of the divination, Li Fan naturally flew to rescue Yue Po first. Along the way, he encountered many old men and eunuchs traveling in the opposite direction, rushing back in the direction he had come from, presumably all on their way to rescue the 'Emperor'.

According to the system, when these "emperors," or rather, esteemed VIP players, encounter danger in their otherworldly adventures, the artificial humans and beasts manufactured by nearby companies will sense it and go to their rescue. After all, being rescued by Divine Beast when seriously injured is a classic plot of the game.

This must be the emergency response mechanism of those retired old monsters in North Mang Mountain that's been triggered. Although the hacker has been melted into pus and blood by Li Fan, the powerful natives should have sensed that he's in grave danger. However, since he is a clone of the Immortal Emperor, with a noble status, these people should still follow the procedure and at least wait until they can summon his soul within seven days.

There are so many retired officials in the Immortal Palace! Although they're no longer at their peak, Li Fan really couldn't handle them all if they all attacked at once...

Naturally, the Xuanmen cultivators gathered near the Three Enclosures were also alarmed by the large-scale mobilization of the Immortal Palace. They were momentarily unsure what calamity was brewing, whether it was some magical treasure or something else entirely. But since the Grand Tutor was stubbornly refusing to undergo his tribulation, and had nothing better to do, many followed to join the spectacle. For a moment, it seemed as if a meteor shower had fallen on the western outskirts of the Three Enclosures...

There are so many idle people in the Xuanmen sect, how many Divine Transformation are there in the Central Plains...?

Li Fan crossed the North Mang Mountain Range and arrived at the location of Yue Po, only to find that it was another cultivation sect's residence, called Three Immortal Mountains, with a Daoist palace on the mountain called Three Heavens Mixed Yuan Palace.

For a moment, Li Fan was also stunned. What was going on with this rabbit? It had just stolen from the national treasury and now it was robbing a bank?

After all, there are so many people in the Central Plains. Anyone who is willing can establish a sect once they reach the Divine Transformation stage. Famous mountains, rivers, and Spiritual Spring springs have long been occupied by sects. Li Fan has only heard of the Three Heavens Mixed Yuan Palace sect by name and is not very familiar with it.

This sect is theoretically a rogue sect, but it has some connection with the Immortal Palace and the Mystic Gate. One theory is that the Cultivation Method of the Three Heavens Mixed Yuan Palace originated from the Immortal Palace, and the first generation consisted of female cultivators who were concubines, ladies-in-waiting, and widows of powerful families. Another theory is that the sect's founder also studied under the Profound Maiden and listened to the Dao. At one time, it had many female cultivators under its command, similar to the Yellow Court Palace Huangting Palace. However, no one was able to successfully comprehend the Daoist Tradition gradually declined, never regaining its former glory. Nevertheless, it still managed to occupy a small area in the heart of the Central Plains without being swallowed up, probably because it has a few Divine Transformation cultivators in charge.

This rabbit is really going all out to amass its fortune! Is it planning to steal all those prestigious sects in the Central Plains one by one? That's bound to cause trouble sooner or later!

Li Fan's arrival was quite timely. He watched the grand formation from outside for a while, and the sect's grand formation activated on its own, with three divine lights flying together into the air, probably to join in the 'Emperor's' fun.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Fan skillfully disguised himself as Devil Sect Dharma Protector and used his Blood Shadow Godly Movement Speed to infiltrate the protective formation of the Three Heavens Mixed Yuan Palace.

The disciples of the Three Heavens Mixed Yuan Palace were refining a magical cloud, gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon to create auspicious clouds in three colors: blue, white, and red. The disciples coming and going on the mountain were also dressed in blue, white, and red robes, their immortal garments flowing, cloud ribbons swirling around their bodies, their lips red and teeth white, their eyes bright as stars—each one Golden Boy and Jade Girl and jade girl, a celestial being descended to earth, completely different from the simple style of some ancient Daoist sects. It seems this sect selects disciples based on appearance.

After circling the palace twice, Li Fan learned about the cultivation methods of the Hunyuan Palace disciples.

What else could be coming from the Immortal Palace? It's the method of dual cultivation, though strictly speaking, it's a method of 'triple' cultivation. The disciples of the Hunyuan Palace cultivate in groups of three, and surprisingly, it's always a combination of two men and one woman...

However, it seems that although Hunyuan Palace has accepted male disciples, it is still a sect dominated by female cultivators, with far more monks than porridge. Apart from a few elite disciples who have two male Dao Companion to cultivate and share a room with, most of the groups consist of three female cultivators together...

Wow, this cultivation world has all sorts of bizarre and outlandish Cultivation Method...

Li Fan wasn't sure what Yue Po was trying to steal from this kind of sect. As he was calculating with his fingers, a thought suddenly struck him, and he sensed a familiar opportunity nearby.

So Li Fan followed the path to the immortal mountain and saw a strong young man with big nostrils chopping wood in the courtyard where the servants lived at the foot of the immortal mountain.

Wait, isn't that Amao?

Holy crap! Ten years have passed since we parted ways in the South China Sea, and Amao has already Nascent Soul Realm!

Wow, this dual cultivation genius is progressing incredibly fast! I wonder if he's even managed to kill a hundred men... cough Although I don't know what extraordinary encounters he's had over the years, his foundation seems quite solid, with a muscular physique. He's probably also training his body and practicing martial arts, in addition to the secret techniques in the bedroom.

Li Fan wanted to test his skills, so he suddenly appeared and grabbed at Amao's back with a claw.

Amao was stunned by the murderous aura. Suddenly, his whole body trembled, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and a radiant light bloomed behind him, shielding him from the back.

"Huh? Something good."

Li Fan reached out and grabbed the glittering magical artifact in his hand; it turned out to be a bronze mirror.

Amao shouted, twisted his waist and jumped up, swinging his hand to chop at Li Fan's neck. His reaction wasn't slow, but unfortunately, Li Fan kicked him in the ankle and pushed him in the shoulder, sending him tumbling and rolling into the thatched hut.

"Ah--!"

Suddenly, a human face leaped out of the bronze mirror, shrieking like a demon, which dampened Li Fan's spirits somewhat. It even seemed to try to pull Li Fan into the mirror.

This thing must be the Sumera Treasure Mirror. The spirit in the mirror also has the Transformation Stage, but all her skills are primordial spirit techniques. Li Fan stood there and couldn't pull her away. Li Fan simply used her Blood God Child to smear the mirror surface, covering it with a screen full of blood talismans and sealing it off.

"Give me back Ami!"

Amao roared and charged forward to fight, but Li Fan kicked him back.

"You want it? Then come and get it."

"Ami--!"

Another kick.

"Ami--!"

Another kick.

"Ah..."

"Hey, stop yelling like that. Don't you have any other skills?"

Amao, his face and body covered in shoe prints from being kicked, seemed to only then realize what was happening. He wiped the blood from his nose, let out a "ha!" and channeled his yin and yang energies throughout his body before charging forward!

"Amitabha--!!"

The sound was just a little loud... It didn't utilize Dao Breath at all...

Li Fan sighed, flicked his fingers repeatedly, and sealed all of Amao's acupoints, freezing him in place.

Too weak, not even as strong as those Nascent Soul General from the Immortal Palace. How could he survive in the Central Plains? Surely he can't just be good in bed...

"Waaah, give Ami back to me..."

Ah, ah--?? He actually cried?? Damn it, Qin Jiu wasn't even crying after being hung up and whipped for three days! Comparisons are odious...

"Hey, here you go, here you go, damn it, all these years of misfortune, could it all be thanks to this mirror that you got through it all!"

Amao repeatedly called out "Amitabha" to the Sumera Treasure Mirror.

The blood talisman on the mirror was completely crimson. The seal that Li Fan had set up was forcibly broken and shattered by the spirit in the mirror. A woman covered in blood and wounds jumped out and shielded Amao behind her.

"Please, protector, show mercy! If you spare Li Lang, Xumi is willing to do anything!"

"No! Ami, run! Senior! Come at me if you have a problem!"

"Li Lang!" "Ami!"

Li Fan shuddered at the cheesy sentimentality and waved his hand impatiently.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop yelling, kid. I'll just ask you one question, then I'll leave. What's your master?"

Sumeru Mirror looked wary and worried. Amao, on the other hand, blankly opened his mouth and answered,

"My name is Li Mao, and I am a disciple of the Tan Flower Island in the South China Sea."

"Tsk..." Li Fan was annoyed. "Since you're a disciple of Tan Flower Island, why don't you go back to the South China Sea? Is it because you see how beautiful and sweet-talking the people in the Three Heavens Mixed Yuan Palace are, that you want to abandon your sect and become their son-in-law?"

Amao waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no! I finally escaped back to the Central Plains and wanted to find the island lord. But on the way, I accidentally bumped into the three fairies of the Sanxiao Palace being attacked by villains. I saw that they were poisoned and were being suppressed in an icy spring. Seeing how much they were suffering, I kindly helped them detoxify."

Who knew they would repay kindness with enmity? On one hand, they said I was too ugly to be their partner, and on the other hand, they said I still had residual poison and couldn't control myself. In short, they captured me and imprisoned me on the mountain, insisting I help them refine some kind of elixir before they would release me. But I've chopped so much firewood, and I haven't seen anyone refine any elixirs!

And every night, groups of people would come to find me to practice, forcing me to drink lots of tonics and medicines. I haven't had a good night's sleep in years.

Damn, why do I suddenly want to punch him...?

Li Fan looked at the Mirror Lord with suspicion, "This kid is as stupid as a donkey, does the Mirror Lord also fail to escape?"

Sumeru Mirror Lord blushed. "The Central Plains are too dangerous, and they are also very treacherous. If I could stay here with Li Lang and live out my days in peace, it wouldn't be bad at all."

Holy crap! What kind of god-like life are they living?!

Li Fan couldn't help but rub his temples. "Alright, I have a past with Tan Flower Island, so I'll just ask you one question: do you want to 'live' here, or do you want to leave the mountain?"

Amao immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Of course I want to get out! I really can't stand the taste of ginseng soup with lingzhi and yam and goji berries anymore, and helping more than a dozen people detoxify every day is so tiring! Please, senior, save me!"

Damn... why is this guy's gaming experience so different from everyone else's?... Damn it, is this what real cultivation is all about?!

But wasn't this kid supposed to have his pressure points sealed? How can he kneel down?

Li Fan grabbed Amao's shoulder, causing him to cry out in pain. Sumeru Mirror looked nervous and tried to beg for mercy, but Li Fan glared at him and sent him packing.

After some confirmation, Li Fan realized that although Amao had been spending his years loitering in the room and hadn't learned any proper Daoist techniques, and this fool certainly couldn't learn the Sumera Treasure Mirror, his cultivation level and Dao Breath aura gained through dual cultivation were genuine. Under the Foundation Establishment methods of the Huan family and the tempering of Sanxiao Mountain, his foundation was solid and his true qi was abundant. Moreover, it seemed that he had more or less learned some of the secret methods of Sanxiao Hunyuan, harmonizing the yin and yang energies into Hunyuan Qi.

In just a short while, the true energy that Li Fan had used to seal his acupoints and meridians was actually dispelled and converted into his own by him using his primordial energy.

Interestingly, in terms of profound internal strength and advanced cultivation, this guy Amao, far surpasses his peers.

Considering he was only a Nascent Soul Stage level fighter, Li Fan decided to give him a chance. He reached into his sleeve, slapped an invisibility talisman on Amao's back, and stuffed him with a handful of talismans and a Golden hairpin. "The mountain formation is open. Just keep walking outwards. Those fairies won't be able to find you. With Mirror Lord's guidance, you shouldn't go astray."

Here I'll also give you a set of external martial arts manuals for strengthening your bones and muscles, and a set of internal qigong techniques for cultivating your meridians, so you'll have some skills to rely on. If you can reach the Three Realms on your own this time, go to the Yuhou Mansion, and someone will naturally come to take you as their disciple.

However, if you continue to act like this useless piece of trash, relying on others for protection in everything you do, then you should stop calling yourself a disciple of Tan Flower Island, understand?

"I understand! Thank you so much for saving me, senior!"

So, oblivious to his good fortune, Amao happily took his protective mirror and went down the mountain. The Mirror Lord of Sumeru must have realized that Li Fan Amao's destined guide to immortality, so he didn't care that he had been half-dead from the Blood Talisman Secret Technique, bowed to him, and returned to his mirror.

In a sense, Amao's aptitude is indeed quite extraordinary, but Li Fan isn't really good at teaching such a slow learner. This time, what he gave Amao wasn't a new method he developed and improved, but rather the most basic and practical <Gang Fist> and <Hunyuan Qigong> from Qingcheng Mountain, based on A-Mao's current aptitude. If he can master these two orthodox methods, probably not many people would be able to tie Amao up in the mountains to be used as medicinal residue, right?

But that's not necessarily true. After all, they're not playing the same game, so who knows what other enviable adventures they might have...

Whether it was fate or something else, no sooner had Amao left than a visitor arrived.

Three auspicious clouds, blue, white, and red, descended from the sky, and three female immortals with ribbons wrapped around their bodies emerged. Goodness, they changed into their sexy outfits right there in the clouds, ready to start the battle, huh!

"Hehehe, Amao, come out quickly." "Hehehe, the sisters are poisoned again." "Hehehe, my waist is so sore, please rub it for me."

Alas, for a woman like this, life is truly like purgatory...

Li Fan casually knocked out the three patients, then set up a magic array called "Jade Beauty" on the spot, allowing the guests to take what they wanted, thus buying time for Amao to escape.

Then, he randomly selected a cultivator, touched his head and brainwashed him, and used the secret techniques of the Divine Sect to bewitch and control his primordial spirit, turning him into a blood puppet. The Blood God Child hid in the shadows and manipulated the puppet to fly into the inner hall of the Three Heavens Mixed Yuan Palace.

The Hunyuan Palace is, after all, a major sect that has established itself in the Central Plains. It has countless barriers and restrictions. Fortunately, this palace has been around for a long time and it seems that there is no defense against the Blood God Child of the Divine Sect. Moreover, there are probably only three Nascent Divine Transformation in the Sanxiao Palace. They had just left, which allowed him to sneak in smoothly.

Upon entering the Sanxiao Palace, the sword attendant's senses suddenly became much stronger, confirming that Yuepo had indeed infiltrated another sect.

But how did Yuepo sneak into the inner mountain? Could it be that the Sanxiao Palace has some secret passage, or that it has a past connection with the Sword Sect, and she already knew about it?

Li Fan was also confused, so he manipulated the puppet to walk in the direction he sensed. He found himself at the entrance of what looked like a sect's treasure vault. He clearly felt that the Moon Soul was on the other side of the door.

Wow, this rabbit's thieving skills are off the charts! How did it even sneak in...?

"Oh, didn't Seventh Sister go to cultivate at the furnace? Why did she deign to come back so soon?"

The jade dragon relief on the treasure vault came to life, its blue eyes wide open, Dao Breath that caused the silk ribbons covering the puppet 'Seventh Sister' to flutter.

"None of your business, open the door."

Li Fan spoke in the tone of someone pretending to be 'Seventh Sister'.

"Why is he so grumpy? Is that kid no longer capable...? Sigh, so pitiful, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle..."

The jade dragon groaned and crawled away.

So Li Fan manipulated 'Seventh Sister' to pass through the waterfall-like curtain of elixir Dao Breath behind Jade Dragon and enter the cave. There, he saw a magnificent treasure vault filled with countless Heavenly Treasure, Magic Treasure and pills.

Strangely, Li Fan discovered that the sword child's clone's senses came from a phoenix pillar golden vessel with a talisman pasted on it.

This is a vessel for holding and warming wine. It is made of pure gold and engraved with symbols. The rim is decorated with a pair of phoenix-shaped pillars. The neck is slightly long, and there are three bag-shaped feet under the belly. There is a handle between the pillars and the neck, which is decorated with animal heads.

Using her seventh sister's hand, she tentatively raised it and tapped the belly of the golden vessel with a clanging sound. A buzzing sound, like the moon's soul, then emanated from it.

"You old codger! Give up! Even if I'm turned into primordial energy, I will never submit to you!!"

Tsk, so you got caught too...
