A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm-Chapter 1320: Destiny

Heavenly Court, Celestial Time Peak.

The mountain was surrounded by layers upon layers of golden divine clouds, above which stood an enormous stone plaque that was over a hundred thousand feet tall and giving off dazzling, golden radiance.

The plaque was riddled with golden characters that appeared to have been names that varied in size, and the golden names were laid out from top to bottom in order of largest to smallest.

The third name on the plaque was none other than Han Li, and right at this moment, it suddenly swelled drastically in size before leapfrogging the two names above it to reach the top of the list.

Immediately thereafter, a white-robed man in a wheelchair appeared in front of the stone plaque amid a burst of spatial fluctuations.

Standing beside him was a young man with a golden complexion that was matched by his golden robe, giving him a regal appearance.

His eyes were shimmering with a dreamy golden light that made it impossible for one to look directly into them, and they seemed to have transcended some laws of heaven and earth.

"Impossible! How could he have reached the late-Great Encompassment Stage so quickly?" the golden-robed young man exclaimed in an incredulous manner.

"Indeed, he managed to get there before you," the wheelchair-bound man remarked wti ha faint smile.

"Please forgive my incompetence!" the golden-robed young man said as he immediately fell to his knees.

"Han Li has received Miro's inheritance, so it's no surprise that he's progressing faster in his cultivation than you. However, I have high hopes for you, so don't disappoint me," the wheelchair-bound man said, then vanished in a flash.

Only after the wheelchair-bound man's aura had completely faded did the golden-robed young man dare to rise to his feet, and he took a resentful glance at Han Li's name on the stone plaque before vanishing from the spot as well.

......

Inside the secret chamber in the nameless mountain range, more and more time law powers continued to surge into Han Li's body from the golden sea.

All of his profound and immortal acupoints were flashing incessantly, and it was as if his body had become an insatiable black hole, absorbing vast volumes of time law powers and the world's origin qi with each passing second.

His immortal spiritual power and time law powers were rapidly elevating, and even though he didn't gain any further time law threads, all of his existing law threads were becoming thicker and more radiant.

At the same time, his aura was also elevating rapidly, causing the secret chamber around him to tremble violently.

Widening cracks began to appear over the walls, yet right as the secret chamber was about to collapse, a burst of golden light surged out of Han Li's body before sweeping over the surrounding walls, and the cracks quickly shrank before fading away altogether.

Before long, they were brought to the verge of collapse again by Han Li's formidable aura, only to be repaired a second time by the golden light.

The cycle continued to repeat itself as a day and a night quickly passed by, and at this point, the golden light around Han Li had become so blinding that he was barely visible within it.

At the same time, his body had taken on a semi-transparent appearance, and all of his time law threads were clearly visible within.

These law threads had become over ten times thicker than before, and they were wound around all parts of his body like indestructible chains.

At the same time, his aura had become so vast that it wasn't inferior in the slightest to that of Bone Emperor, but it was still somewhat lacking compared with the unfathomable Reincarnation Palace Master.

Right at this moment, the golden sea above him suddenly began to ripple before quickly fading away, and the split space was also sealed back up again as everything returned to normal in the secret chamber.

The golden light around Han Li quickly dissipated, and all of a sudden, his aura completely faded away, making it appear as if he were a mortal that had never cultivated before.

The array in the secret chamber had already been destroyed at this point, while the kind corpse soul was standing completely still in a corner, having already acclimated himself to his new body.

All of a sudden, a hint of fear flashed through his eyes as he sized up Han Li.

No more than a day and a night ago, he had been able to stand toe to toe against Han Li to have a discussion as equals, but right now, Han Li was like a boundless ocean to him.

Despite his best efforts, he was unable to glean the depths of Han Li's true power, and as he delved deeper, he felt as if he were about to be sucked in, prompting him to hurriedly withdraw his spiritual sense.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Fellow Daoist," he said as he cupped his fist in a salute.

"It was all thanks to you," Han Li replied with a faint smile.

"Given your powers, even if I had refused to vacate your body, I would've been severed by force anyway, so you have nothing to thank me for," the kind corpse soul said with a shake of his head.

"I refined this Earthly Deity Avatar precisely for this purpose. I'm hoping it's at least decently compatible with you," Han Li said.

"It's perfect. Thank you for creating such a fine vessel for me," the kind corpse soul replied with a pleased smile.

He then cupped his fist in a salute as he continued, "While my decision to leave voluntarily wouldn't have made much of a difference in the grand scheme of things, it's at least spared you a bit of trouble, so in exchange, I would like to raise a request."

"Go ahead," Han Li prompted.

"Now that you've reached the late-Great Encompassment Stage, I presume you're planning to travel to the Reincarnation Palace. With your current powers, you naturally have nothing to fear, but I do not wish to get swept up in this conflict," the kind corpse soul said.

"So you want to leave?" Han Li asked.

"Rest assured, I won't turn to the Reincarnation Palace or the Heavenly Court to oppose you. Instead, I've found my calling in seeing you travel from place to place while helping others, and I want to continue in your footsteps to pursue the greatest good," the kind corpse soul said with a pure and earnest look in his eyes.

Han Li was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm happy to support this wish of yours."

"In that case, I'll be taking my leave. Look after yourself, Fellow Daoist," the kind corpse soul said in an ecstatic manner as he cupped his fist in a parting salute, then vanished from the spot amid a flash of golden light.

Han Li remained still on the spot, making no effort to prevent the kind corpse soul's departure.

With the kind corpse soul gone, he wouldn't have to constantly be on his guard, so this was a good thing for him as well.

After taking a moment to assess his internal condition, a look of elation slowly began to appear on his face.

He had already anticipated that a breakthrough to the late-Great Encompassment Stage would result in a significant evolution, but only now did he come to realize that he had underestimated just how drastic the change would be.

He felt as if he had stepped in a brand new world, and everything was different from before.

He reached out to stroke the space beside him without drawing upon any of his immortal spiritual power, time law powers, or his physical strength, and a spatial hole that was over a hundred feet in diameter instantly appeared within the secret chamber.

Shards of fragmented space shot out of the hole before flying toward the walls of the secret chamber, but they were instantly stopped in their tracks at Han Li's behest, as if they had been halted by some type of invisible force.

Han Li looked down at his own hand with an amazed expression.

At this moment, he felt as if some type of profound power had entered his body, granting him a level of unprecedented control over the surrounding world, as if he had become an omnipotent being.

Han Li used this newfound power to inspect his surroundings, and the entirety of the Crane Ridge Immortal Region was instantly revealed to him with no blind spots, and everything was ten times clearer than before.

At this moment, his kind corpse soul was observing a certain city, while in the previous city that Han Li had been in, Li Hai was serving tea to some customers.

On top of that, he was able to see some nearby immortal regions and even some lower realms with incredible ease and clarity.

Could this be the power of the Heavenly Dao?

He had seen in a scripture in the past that once one cultivated a type of law powers to the very pinnacle, they would be able to communicate with the Great Dao of heaven and earth and attain near-omnipotent power.

However, this was something that should've only applied to Dao Ancestors, so how was he able to do this at only the late-Great Encompassment Stage?

Intrigued by this change, Han Li thrust a palm upward, and a gargantuan, golden hand appeared in the Extraheavensphere above his head, encompassing a boundless expanse of space beneath it.

A burst of terrifying energy fluctuations erupted out of the golden hand, and all of the asteroids and energy storms beneath it were instantly reduced to nothingness.

The space in the Extraheavensphere collapsed violently, creating a black hole that rivaled the size of some of the smaller immortal regions, and it began devouring everything around it in a frenzy.

However, immediately thereafter, the golden hand gently smoothed over the black hole, and it instantly vanished without a trace.

The golden hand itself then also faded away, while Han Li looked down in amazement at his own hand for a second time.

At this point, it was already confirmed to him that he was indeed able to draw upon the power of the Heavenly Dao. As for why this was the case, perhaps it was because he was cultivating one of the three paramount laws.

With his current powers, he wouldn't have to fear even Dao Ancestors.

With that in mind, it was no wonder that the Reincarnation Palace Master and the Devilish Monarch were both so fearsome, even though they were only at the Great Encompassment Stage.

However, he still had to keep making strides in his cultivation, and once he reached the pinnacle of the Great Encompassment Stage, he would theoretically be able to stand toe to toe against the Reincarnation Palace Master and the Devilish Monarch.

Finally, he had reached the true pinnacle of cultivation, a determined look appeared in his eyes as he internally vowed to rescue Nangong Wan and bring her back to his side.

After that, he took a deep breath to suppress the elation in his heart, then sat back down with his legs crossed.

Even though he had reached the late-Great Encompassment Stage, his cultivation base still required consolidation.

He released his spirit domain, then activated the Celestial Time Array, and the flow of time within the spirit domain was instantly accelerated by a hundred thousandfold.

In the wake of his breakthrough, the space of accelerated time had become even more potent.

On top of that, his control over the world's origin qi had also improved by an unfathomable extent, and he was able to draw in the world's origin qi to support the Celestial Time Array, significantly slowing down the rate at which the array consumed Immortal Origin Stones.

After that, he sat down with his legs crossed, and countless rays of golden light appeared around him.
