A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm

Following Lekima's departure, Han Li scoured the entire courtyard with his spiritual sense, and only after verifying that nothing was amiss did he set up a few layers of restrictions before making his way into a room deep inside the courtyard.

He set up several more layers of restrictions there, and only then did he enter the Flower Branch domain, where he was immediately approached by Xiao Bai.

"Alright, there's no one else here aside from the two of us, tell me what happened with Jin Tong," Han Li said in a serious manner.

"After we parted ways, Boss and I traveled to the Golden Origin Immortal Region and found the Gold Devouring Immortal that you mentioned to us. Boss was able to devour that Gold Devouring Immortal and reach the Great Encompassment Stage," Xiao Bai recounted.

Han Li's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this, only to then be replaced by a grim look.

The fact that Jin Tong had been captured even after reaching the Great Encompassment Stage meant that her captor had to have been extremely powerful, so saving her was undoubtedly going to be very difficult.

"What we failed to anticipate was that the Gold Devouring Immortal had an owner, and it was a very powerful figure in the Nine Origins Temple. He personally pursued Boss and me, and we fled for many years, but were ultimately unable to get away. In the end, that man captured Boss, but she was able to tear open space to allow me to escape, and she told me to go and find you. I didn't think that I would see you so soon," Xiao Bai continued.

"Do you know the name of Jin Tong's captor and his status in the Nine Origins Temple?" Han Li asked.

Xiao Bai shuddered slightly as a hint of lingering fear flashed through his eyes, and he replied, "His name is Gui Lingzi, and he seems to be one of the Nine Origins Temple's four holy envoys."

Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.

He had heard about Gui Lingzi from Lan Yan, and according to her, Gui Lingzi was the leader of the four holy envoys and was even more powerful than Immortal Lord Miao Fa.
