Chapter 57: Group Transmigration into the Mortal Cultivation World, the Void Sky Palace Dungeon Opens!

Although Huo Ling'er was still very young at this time, she had already blossomed into a graceful and elegant beauty.

If Yun Yun was like a mature peach, sweet and juicy, then Huo Ling'er at this moment was like a cherry on the verge of ripening.

She might taste a bit astringent at first, but she would be incomparably sweet and refreshing...

"Damn, how can I be thinking about such things? This is my own wife; she'll be mine sooner or later. Besides, the Willow Deity is right here in Stone Village. If I were to do something perverted like this, how would the Willow Deity look at me?"

Zhu Chen shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off the mosaic-like images that had just surfaced in his mind.

Dammit, it's all that Tang San's fault.

After spending some time in a group with a guy like that, his thoughts had become filthy.

To completely calm down, Zhu Chen hurriedly opened the chat group, intending to find someone to talk to to distract himself.

However, the moment he opened the group chat page, Han Li's @ mention popped up simultaneously

[Han Li: @Zhu Chen, @Wang Lin. Brother Zhu, Senior Wang, I have encountered a bit of trouble just now. Could you two come and lend me a hand?]

Just as Zhu Chen saw this message and was preparing to say something, someone else in the group couldn't help but jump out first.

[Xiao Yan: Brother Han Li, you're being too unloyal! I treat you like a brother and even refine pills for you for free, yet when you run into trouble, I'm not the first person you think of? Are you looking down on me, Xiao?]

[Han Li: Fellow Daoist Xiao, please do not misunderstand. The trouble I have encountered this time is quite thorny; I need some powerful helpers to resolve it.]

Han Li quickly explained.

However, his explanation only served to make Xiao Yan even more restless.

[Xiao Yan: Holy crap? Are you saying my strength is trash and I can't help you? No way, I'm coming over no matter what to prove myself. Hurry up and open the plane passage, otherwise I'll go find Brother Zhu to...]

[Lin Dong: Exactly. How can there be a fight without calling me?]

Seeing that Han Li was looking for a fight, Lin Dong immediately jumped in as well.

Last time in the Douluo World, he hadn't been able to take down Tang San due to the chat group's rules, and his hands had been itching ever since; he was looking for someone to vent on.

However, faced with the enthusiasm of these two, Han Li found himself in a dilemma.

It wasn't that he didn't want Xiao Yan and Lin Dong to come and help.

It was just that the trouble he was facing involved several Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

He had seen Xiao Yan and Lin Dong's strength before.

If these two came, they would basically be delivering themselves to their deaths.

In his eyes, the only ones who could actually help him right now were Wang Lin, with his Deity Transformation stage cultivation, and the unfathomable Zhu Chen.

[Zhu Chen: Fine, I happen to want to test my skills as well...]

Just as Han Li was hesitating, Zhu Chen's message suddenly appeared in the chat group.

[Han Li: Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhu.]

Han Li was ecstatic.

After expressing his thanks in the group, he immediately opened the plane passage on his end.

At the same time, Zhu Chen also stepped through the plane passage and arrived directly inside the Void Sky Hall.

However, the moment he appeared, he instantly felt several unfriendly gazes fall upon him.

"Is this... the Void Sky Hall of the Scattered Star Seas?"

Zhu Chen ignored those people and instead looked up at the magnificent palace complex above his head.

With his experience, he recognized the place at a glance.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, I'll have to trouble you this time."

At that moment, Han Li's voice transmission suddenly rang in his mind.

Zhu Chen turned to look and saw Han Li standing in an inconspicuous corner, wearing Cloud-Treading Boots and holding a hand seal for some kind of escape technique, looking as if he were ready to bolt at any second.

Zhu Chen's lip twitched, and he was about to say something.

But just then, a sense of distortion appeared in the void near him.

Immediately after, two more figures arrived through the cross-realm passage.

These two were none other than Xiao Yan and Lin Dong.

[Han Li: Fellow Daoist Xiao, Fellow Daoist Lin, why did you two come over?]

Worried that the two wouldn't use voice transmission, Han Li immediately asked in the group.

[Xiao Yan: Didn't you open the plane passage yourself?]

[Lin Dong: Exactly. If you didn't want us to come help, why open the passage?]

[Han Li: But I opened the passage to make way for Fellow Daoist Zhu and Senior Wang...]

Han Li was speechless.

He had opened the passage mainly to make it convenient for Zhu Chen and Wang Lin to come whenever they wanted.

He hadn't expected that the people who should have come hadn't, while the people who shouldn't have come had all arrived.

Had his warnings just been for nothing?

[Xiao Yan: It's fine. Since we're already here, do you really expect us to go back?]

[Lin Dong: Stop talking nonsense, Brother Han. Just point them out, and we'll take them down. We definitely won't cause trouble!]

After posting his message in the group, Lin Dong immediately clenched his fists and directed his sharp gaze toward the people standing on the stone pillars, his eyes full of provocation.

[Han Li: It's fine if you two don't want to leave, but please do not act recklessly. This place is called the Void Sky Hall, a space opened by an ancient cultivator containing countless opportunities. However, several Nascent Soul cultivators have already arrived here; those people are not ones we can easily provoke.]

Han Li was cautious. Even though he had read the novel *A Will Eternal* (Note: likely referring to *Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality*) and knew many secrets of the Void Sky Hall, he did not act arrogant; instead, he became even more careful.

When he entered just now, to avoid drawing attention, he had even deliberately chosen an extremely remote corner as a waiting area.

And the place where Zhu Chen and the others appeared was also in this corner.

At this moment, besides that bearded man, all the other Nascent Soul cultivators in the Void Sky Hall had already arrived.

That old schemer, Xuan Gu, was also here.

However, the person he had possessed this time was Jin Qing. Because the latter had not practiced the "Mysterious Yin Technique," it was incompatible with his own cultivation method. Consequently, his cultivation after possession had not reached the peak of the late Core Formation stage as in the original story, but only the middle Core Formation stage.

But his divine sense and methods were still at the Nascent Soul level.

Among the crowd of Core Formation cultivators, he was considered a rather troublesome figure.

...

"These three can perform spatial shifts within the Void Sky Hall. Could they be carrying some extraordinary ancient treasure?"

On a stone pillar in the middle of the hall, as he watched Zhu Chen and the other two suddenly appear, the cold gaze of the Extreme Yin Ancestor flickered.

He had been monitoring Han Li's situation, and he had seen everything when Zhu Chen, Xiao Yan, and the others crossed over.

However, with his level of knowledge, he naturally wouldn't associate it with the concept of "cross-realm travel"; instead, he assumed the three were juniors possessing spatial ancient treasures.

As for their cultivation, he didn't pay much attention.

Since he knew all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Scattered Star Seas, there was no way those three could be Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, they were hanging around with that Han Li.

People who associate with someone at the early Core Formation stage are likely just a few Core Formation juniors; even if they possess ancient treasures, they are not worth fearing.

"Hahaha! Has the Void Sky Hall not opened yet? It seems I, Man, have made it in time!"

Not long after Zhu Chen and the others arrived, a burly man clad in golden armor with a face full of beard came sprinting from outside the hall and landed directly in the very center.

The moment this man appeared, a vast, sea-like aura spread out like a tsunami, instantly intimidating many of the cultivators in the hall.

The newcomer was the strongest body cultivator in the Scattered Star Seas, the one who practiced the Heaven-Topping Demonic Art—the bearded Man!

Seeing this bearded man, among all the local cultivators present, everyone frowned except for Wan Tianming, the Sect Master of the Myriad Law Sect, whose cultivation was equal to his.

This included the Extreme Yin Ancestor, who had already set his sights on Han Li.
