Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 706: Chapter 649: The Ten Great Dao Palaces

When Han Yu sneaked back, it took him a bit of effort to find the hiding old Taoist in the corner.

As he quietly moved over, the old Taoist seemed completely unaware, he could even hear him mumbling to himself.

Mostly complaining that Han Yu had left an "old man incapable of even binding a chicken" in such a dangerous place.

Han Yu curled his lips in annoyance, he initially intended to give the old Taoist a scare.

As he quietly emerged from the ground from behind and reached out to tap his back, the old Taoist surprisingly spun around as if startled.

His finger almost pointing at Han Yu’s forehead, uttering heavenly truths.

"Fall within seven steps."

He wanted to run as soon as he finished speaking, but ultimately didn’t.

The old and the young stared wide-eyed at each other.

"How did you end up behind me?"

The old Taoist was the first to express shock, even though he was unable to use cultivation due to backlash, his perception was intact.

When Han Yu came back, and even when he circled behind him, the old Taoist knew nothing about it.

If it wasn’t for the slight movement on the ground behind him earlier, he wouldn’t have detected it at all.

Could this be the reason he dared to enter?

Han Yu wore a dark expression, he didn’t answer the old Taoist’s question, instead retorted indifferently.

"Why did you make a move against me?"

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist was furious, yet still had the audacity to question him.

"If you hadn’t found me from behind, would I have reacted so strongly."

At this point, he only had the capability to curse with heavenly truths to protect himself. Faced with danger, he would naturally use it without hesitation.

In the end, it was still his slow reaction; otherwise, he would have spouted everything he could use all at once.

If he had powerful heavenly truths, Han Yu would likely have paid a great price.

"So now what?"

Han Yu pointed at himself, the old Taoist had just cursed him straight to his forehead.

"What else can be done? Just fall!"

The old Taoist didn’t sympathize with him at all.

With a darkened expression, Han Yu indeed took seven steps, each one cautiously, yet still ended up falling on the fifth step.

This sensation is unpleasant, not due to physical injury, but rather the feeling of being out of control, unable to command oneself, especially detestable.

To talk about fear, this ability is indeed top-notch in its own way.

Han Yu couldn’t imagine what it would be like if one truly cultivated the power of words to become real.

However, looking at the current state of the old Taoist, he couldn’t help but sigh, fearing that he might never achieve it in his lifetime.

"Did you really go inside and take a look over there?"

Although the old Taoist didn’t approve of Han Yu going in, since it concerned Yama Hall’s scheming, he had to be cautious.

Han Yu nodded, then recounted what he had seen earlier.

After a moment, seeing the old Taoist’s face looking extremely grim, he remained silent.

For a long time, he slowly sighed out loud.

"Actually, the number of those cultivators is of secondary importance."

So many cultivators are not important?

Then what is truly important?

Han Yu was astonished, judging by what he saw, no matter whether they were lower-ranked initial realm cultivators or those like Lei Wang at the walking the Dao stage, the numbers were indeed alarming.

"You don’t understand. You said you saw three Dao Palaces — the Soul Hall, the Punishment Hall, and the Rotation Hall, right?"

The old Taoist asked seriously.

Han Yu nodded, then added, "It seems like there are signs of construction around."

"That’s correct then."

The old Taoist nodded in agreement, then listed off a long string of names from his mouth.

"Judgment Hall, Prisoness Hall, Reincarnation Hall, Transmigration Hall, Return to Void Hall, Karma Mirror Hall, Unsentimental Hall."

Han Yu was stunned, looking at the old Taoist, such a long list?

"If guessed correctly, these seven Dao Palaces should also rise soon."

The old Taoist spoke with certainty.

"So, do you know what this is?"

Han Yu pursued with a question.

The old Taoist smiled bitterly, how could he not know.

This represents the ten palaces of the Yama Hall, having interacted for thousands of years, anyone with some standing in the Celestial Dao Sect knows about them.

"This is the core power of the Yama Hall, with all ten Dao Palaces moving here, it seems Yama Hall is about to reveal its cards."

Not only revealing cards, given that all ten Dao Palaces have gathered, might the ten Hall Masters possibly personally step onto the field in the future?

This event is momentous.

Han Yu’s action simply assisted the Celestial Dao Sect greatly, being able to obtain such vital information beforehand is of utmost importance to them.

He even feels an urgency to quickly report the discovery to Mu Zili.

"Can it be stopped?"

Han Yu asks naïvely, while the old Taoist looks at him foolishly.

"It can’t be stopped."

Su Xiaoxiao sighs helplessly.

In the past two days, not only has there been a recall of personnel, but also a continuous siege against the opposing cultivators.

Yet despite such a grand campaign, they can’t fundamentally stop the regrouping of Yama Hall cultivators.

Moreover, aside from this, they have encountered several batches of walking the Dao cultivators, in quite considerable numbers.

After several fierce battles, even though many were slain, they still emerge endlessly.

"You may have to make another trip."

Su Xiaoxiao’s face grew somber, then turned to Wang Xingzhi.

There’s something strange going on, this needs to be notified to Mu Zili as soon as possible.

Wang Xingzhi and Liu Zongyuan returned not long ago, yet now they must make this trip again.

Thinking about it, their faces turned bitter, but they had no choice but to agree.

Su Xiaoxiao looked back at the current team, now even with nearly three hundred initial realm cultivators, which is the basic setup, it’s hard to dispatch them again.

Yama Hall’s unusual behavior certainly isn’t something good.

"Have you stopped them from activating formation points these days?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked the crowd.

To his surprise, everyone shook their heads.

This is another anomaly, Yama Hall isn’t activating formation points?

Could it be that the grand formation is unwanted?

Su Xiaoxiao looked up to the sky, sensing the intangible pressure still there, then the grand formation hasn’t stopped.

What should he do next?

For the moment, Su Xiaoxiao was truly uncertain.

Yama Hall being suddenly quiet leaves him unsure of how to react.

But now everyone is counting on him to make decisions.

After a while, he sighed, if the other side is lying low, then so will he.

"Let’s wait until Elder Mu makes a judgment there."

Regarding details, he may manage, but in terms of strategic outlook, he must rely on his senior brother.

On the Central Continent side.

Quan Xiaotong gazed at the massive sand table, lost in thought, having had no news regarding formation points for several days.

It’s as if they’ve gone dormant, if not for occasional reports of Yama Hall cultivators appearing, he’d almost think Yama Hall had ceased.

"Isn’t this good?"

Ling Wuce sighed, at least for these few days, he’s finally able to rest a bit.

Facing endless reports like snowflakes being sent, his head was about to explode.

Finally getting a few days of peace, he truly wants to adjust himself well.

Though cultivators don’t need rest, mental exhaustion can be extremely draining.

Quan Xiaotong, however, remained deeply contemplative, no movement means big movement is coming.

The current calm makes him fear greater turmoil.

Unable to resist, he started attempting to outline based on existing formation points, constantly altering his thought process, drawing various intersections.

Ultimately, his mind became a muddled mess.

Too many variables!

Logically speaking, Yama Hall should have few formation points left; missing a few shouldn’t deviate too much.

Suddenly, Quan Xiaotong had a wild speculation, could he be using the wrong method to connect these formation points?
