“Ahead, ten miles, danger.”

No sooner had Yu Qian spoken than all the cultivators were startled.

His prophecy had proven true the previous five times, paving their smooth journey, so when he uttered the word ‘danger,’ none of the cultivators doubted him, instinctively believing his statement.

“Is there another way to go?” Jin Sheng asked in a deep voice.

Pale-faced, Yu Qian shook his head, “I have chosen the easiest path based on the prophecy book. Although this path is perilous, it poses the least difficulty. Compared to other paths, the dangers are greater, potentially even certain death.”

Despite Yu Qian’s words quieting the cultivators, they had come too far to shrink back now, and discussion seemed unnecessary.

Jin Sheng spoke in a deep voice, “Since that is the case, let us forge ahead and deal with that challenge.”

“Let’s go.”

At Jin Sheng’s side, a faint whirring sound, barely discernible, signaled that he had quickened his pace, and the black and white flames on his shoulders flickered more frequently, a sign that his alertness had reached its peak.

The other cultivators, too, steeled their hearts, ready to face the unforeseen crisis that lay ahead.

Ten miles passed in a flash, and the cultivators stood before a massive courtyard with walls that had collapsed on both sides, the entrance straight ahead being the only part still intact.

However, there was no sign at the front of the courtyard, and looking inward, a faint mist could be seen enshrouding the entire area.

“That mist is odd; even with my cultivation level, I can’t see through it. Can any of you?” Jin Sheng asked gravely.

After examining, all the cultivators shook their heads; Han Yi also couldn’t penetrate the fog.

The mist appeared thin and insubstantial, but even when he pushed his double pupil Divine Art to the limit, he could see only about ten meters into it.

Of course.

Given the strangeness of the Immortal Spirit Realm, they all refrained from rashly using their Divine Consciousness to probe without clear understanding, so this ten-meter distance was merely a visual inspection.

“Ma Yikui.” Jin Sheng looked at a young man among the cultivators, one of only two seasoned Half-immortals in the team besides Han Yi.

Of the fifteen people in this expedition, aside from Han Yi, Ma Yikui, and Yu Qian, the others were all Peak Half-immortals.

Ma Yikui was one of two people specifically called by Jin Sheng.

Seeing Jin Sheng summon him, Ma Yikui nodded, tapped his chest lightly, and his body slightly shimmered. Following that, two shadows emerged from his body, stretching out to either side. Initially, these two shadows were just dark silhouettes, but in a breath’s time, they began to change, eventually transforming into perfect replicas of Ma Yikui.

In an instant, three Ma Yikuis were standing before the cultivators.

Han Yi slightly raised his eyebrows at this scene.

“Shadow clones?”

“No.”

In his perception, all three Ma Yikuis were solid entities, and their auras were that of seasoned Half-immortals, showing no signs of weakening. This was different from shadow clones, whose incarnations would be weaker than the original.

As Han Yi was contemplating this, the two additional Ma Yikuis rushed forward, crossing the entrance of the courtyard and disappearing into the fog.

Meanwhile, Ma Yikui’s original body closed his eyes.

Four breaths later, Ma Yikui’s eyes snapped open, a trace of horror appearing and widening, his pupils turning crimson for two breaths before fading away and returning to normal.

“Dead.”

“Both Wood Spirit Bodies are dead.”

“Please look.”

Ma Yikui waved his hand gently, summoning Spirit Light that formed two glowing screens displaying rapidly changing images.

Han Yi looked at the swiftly moving images and understood they must be the accounts from the two Wood Spirit Bodies of Ma Yikui.

Regarding the Wood Spirit Body, he now recalled information associated with it.

It was an Immortal Skill that could only be executed by a True Immortal who had fully comprehended a Law.

The appearance of such a skill in the hands of a Half-immortal suggested this cultivator had an understanding of a specific Law far beyond that of an ordinary Peak Half-immortal.

In other words, Ma Yikui’s grasp of the Law of Wood was akin to that of a True Immortal, which allowed him to form Wood Spirit Bodies.

Typically, such Heaven Defying Cultivators would be at the Peak Half-immortal level, but Ma Yikui was still at the seasoned Half-immortal stage, a mystery that Han Yi could not casually speculate upon.

From this, Han Yi understood this particular Half-immortal, like Yu Qian, who could wield the prophecy book and cast the prophecy skill, was far from simple.

As thoughts flickered, the moving images within the screens suddenly came to a halt.

Then, a black Ape appeared on the left screen, baring its teeth with a casual swipe of its hand that filled the world, causing the image to quickly dissipate. On the right screen, a ferocious Insect Beast emerged, vast in size, its massive jaws spitting black venom that fell and wiped out the image as well.

The gap between the two images vanishing was less than half a breath.

“My Wood Spirit Bodies encountered two beast types, one on the left and one on the right.”

“Although the Wood Spirit Bodies lacked Half-immortal Items, their strength was not inferior; even the average Peak Half-immortal could fend off and shake them.”

“These two beasts are not simple.”

“However, I discovered that within the mist, probing with Divine Consciousness revealed no abnormalities, but within the mist, my Wood Spirit Bodies could only sense up to about five hundred meters.”
