He didn't know how much time had passed when Fang Han's vision suddenly changed, the world spun around, and all the pressure vanished in an instant.
Then, he found himself in a vast, empty hall.
This hall is incredibly vast and magnificent!
One by one, pillars and ornamental columns rise up.
The layers of doors resembled an ancient labyrinth, with no one knowing where they led.
However, this magnificent and grand palace was actually quite desolate. Ancient traces were everywhere: abandoned steps, broken chairs, and even more so...
Weathered bones!
Indeed, this vast hall was filled with countless bones, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Among those piles of white bones, some residual light flickered faintly, seemingly some kind of magical artifact.
Even a fool could see that many people had died in this hall, and many were trapped here, unable to get out, and eventually exhausted themselves.
"Snap!"
Fang Han took a step forward, stepping on a series of white bones. The bones seemed to be rotten and were instantly crushed into powder by him, which startled him.
"How could this be? Those who can enter this Taiyuan Immortal Mansion are all experts with advanced supernatural powers, or even powerful beings in the Longevity Realm. Their physical bodies are as hard as iron. Even if their physical bodies are rotten, their bones should not be decayed like this."
A master at the Divine Transformation Realm possesses a tenth-level physical body. Even if buried underground for hundreds of years after death, their body will not decay.
Not to mention the masters of the Supernatural Realm or even the Longevity Realm.
"Time flows differently in this Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. One year outside is equivalent to three hundred and sixty years inside!"
Just then, a voice sighed softly.
"For someone who entered here a year ago, it's equivalent to 360 years having passed. A master at the Celestial Realm only has a lifespan of 800 years. To outsiders, only three years have passed, but inside, he has died of old age!"
"These remains belong to people who entered this place to explore a hundred or a thousand years ago. In the long history of this palace, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years have passed."
"Over such a long period of time, even flying swords will decay! Experts in the Longevity Realm will all die of old age."
The man's words seemed to express regret for the piles of white bones.
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Han couldn't help but tremble: "Three hundred and sixty years here, and only one year has passed outside?"
Then, he turned his gaze and saw a tall, slender figure stepping out from the void.
"Master!"
Although it had been a long time since they last met, Fang Han would never forget the person who had truly changed his destiny. Immediately, he bowed down and said, "Disciple greets Master."
"Indeed! In this world, any expert in the Longevity Realm who comprehends the laws of time can alter the flow of time. The higher their magical power, the greater the power to change time!"
The newcomer was none other than Xiao Ning, who had entered the Ruins of Return earlier. After looting the area, he heard the commotion at the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion and saw Fang Han trapped inside, so he strode over to catch up.
"No need for formalities."
Xiao Ning gently raised his hand to lift Fang Han up and smiled, "I didn't expect that in just a short time, the former little servant of the Fang family has already cultivated the second level of the Profound Technique and become a master of the fifth level of the Divine Power Realm."
"You flatter me, Master."
Fang Han scratched his head and laughed, "I am able to be where I am today thanks to my master's unparalleled immortal skills and the supreme treasure, the 'Subduing the Yellow Springs Dragon Diagram'."
"This is your destiny, but I'm just passing it on to you through my hands."
Xiao Ning smiled and said, "You've cultivated to this level, which means you have enough talent and have put in enough effort. Why belittle yourself?"
At this point, he looked around and saw piles of white bones in the main hall, all the consequences of tribulations on the path of cultivation and the loss of immortality. He couldn't help but sigh softly, "Is this the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion?"
Compared to Fang Han, Xiao Ning's vision was naturally incomparable; he could clearly see the structure of the hall at a glance.
Above this grand hall, countless stars are scattered across the sky, and numerous portals stand around, representing various times and spaces.
The entire Immortal Palace, with its expansive sky above and solid earth below, subtly exudes the mysteries of the universe, seemingly poised to carve out its own realm.
Deep within the main hall, in the most secluded part of the immortal abode, Xiao Ning sensed countless forces erupting and undergoing a transformation.
That seems to be a chess piece that Taiyuan Immortal Venerable laid out before he left. It's not hard to imagine that this chess piece will play a role at some point in the future.
"Yes, Master."
Fang Han smiled bitterly, "This is the legendary Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, and now we are all trapped here."
"wrong."
Xiao Ning smiled and said, "You're the one who's trapped here. For your master, this so-called Taiyuan Immortal Mansion is no problem at all. I can come and go as I please."
"ah!"
Fang Han quickly said, "Master, you wouldn't be so heartless as to abandon your disciple alone, would you?"
"Alright, alright, instead of chatting here, why don't we, master and disciple, go inside? Although I don't fancy the things here, they're still quite nice for you."
Xiao Ning smiled and said, "Moreover, you can take advantage of the passage of time here to grow rapidly, strive for the fifth level of the Profound Technique, prove the Flawless True Immortal, and ascend to the Immortal Realm!"
"No matter how exciting the lower realm is, it's still a small-scale spectacle!"
After saying that, he walked forward, and Fang Han quickly followed behind.
