“Great, the Wind Wall Skill has finally broken through to the Return to the Truth level.”

Ilan Yi was overjoyed.

This was his plan. In the past year, he spent 80% of his time cultivating these two defensive magic skills; the progress of Fire Shield Skill had reached 97/100, and it took only two months to break through. While Wind Wall Skill was a bit slower, it still managed to truly reach a new level after a year.

With a slight thought, Han Yi gathered a pale-cyan wind shield that floated in front of him and then slowly condensed a second layer of shield with his spiritual power – a fiery red fire attribute shield.

However,

The shield formed by Fire Shield Skill was now completely different from before the breakthrough, as it had become a solid entity. Just from the visual perspective, it looked like a magic weapon.

The pale-cyan magic weapon and the fiery red one began to approach each other gradually.

Bang!

The moment they came close, both shields shook and dissolved into scattered spiritual power. A sudden whirlwind and sparks filled the quiet room.

Han Yi lightly pressed his palm down, and the wind and fire quickly calmed down, eventually dissipating.

“No good. The solid shields formed after the breakthrough are too stable, making them difficult to merge.”

“So what should I do?”

Han Yi frowned.

Before, the shields formed by Fire Shield Skill and Wind Wall Skill were both in a semi-virtual state, making it easy to overlay layer upon layer.

But now, both magic skills had reached the [Return to the Truth] level, and the shields they condensed from spiritual power had become solid objects.

If they kept overlaying layer by layer, there wouldn’t be a problem. However, such defense would still be in a dispersed state and far less powerful than merging into a single unit.

Of course,

This was just Han Yi’s idea. Based on his estimation, there should have been a more than 50% feasibility for it.

Suddenly, Han Yi’s eyes lit up.

He stretched out his hand and first condensed a mist-like Fire Shield Skill, forming an unformed fire shield that was in a state of fire mist.

Then, with his other hand, he began to cast Wind Wall Skill. Similarly, this time, Wind Wall Skill did not directly condense into a shield but appeared in its initial wind array form.

Following that, he controlled an extremely intricate wind array and allowed it to enter the fire mist while closely monitoring the state of the fire mist with his powerful divine sense.

A single wind array, of course, had no effect.

Han Yi then continued to control other wind arrays, gradually infiltrating them into the fire mist.

With the increase of wind arrays, the fire mist began to destabilize a bit. But under Han Yi’s control, the unstable fire mist gradually stabilized again.

“There’s hope,” Han Yi was delighted.

He continued to merge, and merge again until finally, the wind arrays, which could form a wind wall, were completely integrated into the fire mist by Han Yi.

Now, the fire mist had expanded, but its volume had not reached twice its original size but merely a little more than one-fold, indicating that there was indeed a part of the wind array that had genuinely merged into the fire mist.

Under Han Yi’s observation, this was indeed the case.

“Next is the crucial step.”

Han Yi’s spiritual power and divine sense gradually intensified, the double pressure deepening the fusion of the wind array and fire mist.

As the compression continued, the original reddish fire mist began to change color, becoming darker and darker, eventually transforming into a light black color.

As the volume shrank, the faint black color gradually spread across the shield.

Until finally, it turned completely black.

The next instant,

Bang!!

The black shield suddenly burst open, and the violent spiritual power catapulted Han Yi in all directions. Buildings collapsed, and the explosion sounded to the heavens, alarming other cultivators stationed nearby.

“Hahaha, it succeeded, it finally succeeded.”

From the collapsed building, a figure on a flying sword rose into the air, laughing ecstatically.

“It’s Elder Han.”

“I heard Elder Han is a reserved cultivator.”

“I haven’t seen him in half a year.”

“Could Elder Han be practicing magic and gone mad with the practice?”

“Shush, Elder Han is a late-stage Foundation Building cultivator, there’s no way he’d go mad.”

“But this situation does look like he’s gone mad.”

“Elder Han is the strongest combat power here besides the Supreme Elder, so he better not have any trouble.”

At the station, Xuandan Sect’s inner and outer disciples looked up at Han Yi, who was laughing wildly in midair, and became quite worried for him, fearing that the strongest combat power of their sect had indeed gone mad from practicing magic.

Han Yi took out a Purifying Talisman, which was low-grade, first-stage spiritual talisman. Han Yi occasionally patronized his own Profound Immortal Pavilion, buying some practical talismans, stocking up on both first and second-stage talismans to be prepared.

As the Purifying Talisman fell on him, the fine black stains left by the explosion during the experiment were instantly cleaned, leaving him fresh and renewed.

Then, he didn’t land but instead released his Immortal Boat and headed towards the Seventh Layer of the Immortal Court.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, a unique sect, had its base not outside Qian Du but rather within the city of Qian Du itself..
