Глава 1181-1185 Путешествие к Бессмертию
Chapter 1181: News of the Three Women He looked at the talisman, then at the astonished expressions on the other managers’ faces, and said with a wry smile on his face, “This is a voice transmission talisman from the great elder. It orders us to gather all the materials in this jade slip within three days. From the talisman, the great elder intends to use these materials to make tools, and they seem quite extraordinary. Senior Martial Brothers, it looks like we’ll have to drop everything and take care of the great elder’s orders first .” The other cultivators were all astonished upon hearing this. “If this is an order from the great elder, then we naturally have to prioritize. Check the list of materials in the jade slip, and if we have them, immediately bring them out of our storage. If not, immediately head to the Ancient Sword Sect and the Hundred Possibilities Pavilion to see if they have these materials.” In particular, the cultivators of the Hundred Possibilities Pavilion, because they are very experienced in making tools, should have those materials that we may not have. The Great Elder only gave three days to gather the materials,” the gray-robed elderly man said decisively. The other cultivators all nodded in response. After discussing their duties among themselves, all the Profounding stage managers jumped on their treasures and flew out of the pavilion, rushing to gather the materials detailed in the jade slip. Three days later, a blue-robed cultivator arrived at the connected peaks with a bulging storage bag filled with the necessary materials, but was naturally unable to enter due to the restrictions around the peaks. This Profounding disciple released a voice transmission talisman, and then waited in place, holding the storage bag with both hands. About ten minutes later, the fog that had arisen due to the restriction began to dissipate, and an azure light appeared from within. In a flash of azure light, the storage bag disappeared from the hands of the blue-robed cultivator. Seeing this, the blue-robed cultivator’s heart sank and he hurriedly bowed to the mist several times before flying away on his treasure. Peace and tranquility returned to the connected peaks as if nothing had happened. In his cave residence, Han Li put away his humanoid puppet and checked the contents of the storage bag with his spiritual sense. After a while, a satisfied expression appeared on Han Li’s face and he muttered to himself, “Not bad; they actually managed to obtain all the necessary materials. It seems that these Sect Managers are quite capable.” “You are the Great Elder of the Drifting Cloud Sect, so they naturally wouldn’t dare to delay carrying out your orders. I’m surprised that you asked them to bring you the materials needed to refine the Fire Spiritual Threads. “However, you shouldn’t forget that your cultivation art is not of the fire element.” The child’s figure appeared again, and he looked at Han Li with a puzzled expression. “I know about that. However, I do have something that can refine the Fire Spiritual Threads, although I don’t have much fire element spiritual power in my body . This thing is the treasure that gave birth to the Fire Spiritual Threads, so it would be appropriate to use it to refine the Fire Spiritual Threads.” Han Li replied calmly as he patted the storage bag hanging from his waist, from which a small red cauldron flew out and hovered in front of him. The small child squinted at the fire cauldron, but did not say anything, instead lightly nodding to himself. A faint smile appeared on Han Li’s face as he turned over the storage bag in his hand. In a flash of white light, about a dozen jade and wooden boxes of various sizes appeared on the ground. Han Li raised his hand and pointed his finger at the fire cauldron. The crimson lid of the cauldron silently flew into the air, followed by a ball of crimson flames escaping from it with a roar. In the blink of an eye, the flames turned into a dozen or so scarlet fire crows that began circling around the cauldron. “A spirit has appeared in this flame! The power of this treasure is not that remarkable, but it is indeed an incredibly pure fire element treasure, so it is quite suitable for refining “Fire Spiritual Threads. Even so, these fire crows were born from the cauldron and not created by your magic power, so it will be difficult to control them with high precision. You must give this process your full attention, because any loss of concentration will cause all your efforts to be wasted,” the little child warned. “Rest assured, Daoist Lord Endless Sky, if there’s one thing I have, it’s patience,” Han Li chuckled carelessly. Hearing this, the little child naturally had no intention of trying to dissuade Han Li any longer. Han Li made a spell seal with his hands and cast spells on the fire cauldron. The cauldron spun in the air, then instantly expanded to several times its original size. Only then did Han Li wave his sleeve, and a translucent object flew out from inside, quickly disappearing into the cauldron. The cauldron hummed, and balls of scarlet flames appeared on its surface, and the flames themselves also rose into the air. The translucent substance was barely visible in the fire, and soon the Fire Crows pushed it onto the top of the fire. Seeing this, a concentrated look appeared on Han Li’s face, and he quickly snapped his fingers, releasing a dozen or so spells of different colors onto the Fire Crows’ bodies. The crows stirred, and in a rage, they released flames from their beaks toward the translucent object. It seemed that this substance was able to absorb the Fire Crows’ flames, and as it burned, its surface gradually turned red and its shape began to change. Han Li imitated a grabbing motion toward one of the jade boxes on the ground, and the lid tore off on its own, revealing a small blue paste-like substance inside. He pointed his finger at the box, and the substance immediately flew into the cauldron and upon contact with the flames, it turned into a blue liquid and then merged with the translucent substance. Seeing this, Han Li was delighted and released the spell seals. Immediately after, azure threads shot out from his fingertips and flew into the scarlet flames. The fire immediately rose several feet, and at the same time, a booming cry came from the cauldron. Despite this, Han Li’s expression remained extremely serious and focused. Two months later, a streak of azure light flew straight to the main peak of the Drifting Cloud Sect. The azure light disappeared in an instant and landed in front of a large hall at the foot of the mountain, revealing Han Li’s figure within. The dozen or so Drifting Cloud Sect disciples guarding the hall rushed forward to greet Han Li and bowed respectfully. However, Han Li simply waved his hand and lifted his foot, completely disappearing from where he had just been standing, appearing in the hall the next moment. The disciples were naturally startled by this and turned their attention to the inside of the hall. It could be seen that Han Li had clearly only taken a few steps, but after a few flashes, he had already disappeared from the corridor. The disciples were stunned by what they saw, and their respect and reverence for this Great Elder increased. When Han Li appeared in the hall, Liu Luo was already there, pacing back and forth with a gloomy expression on his face. “You have finally come out of seclusion, Junior Martial Brother Han. It seems that you have received the Voice Transmission Talisman I sent you earlier.” Upon seeing Han Li, the joyful expression on Lu Luo’s face turned gloomy again. A faint smile appeared on Han Li’s face, and with a swaying motion, his body appeared in front of the wooden chair, after which he quietly sat down on it and said, “The voice transmission talisman said that Martial Niece Song and the others disappeared in Demon Fall Valley. This is quite suspicious, and it concerns Mu Peiling and my so-called disciple, so I naturally had to come and ask you about the details.” “This incident is indeed quite suspicious. It has been half a year since Martial Niece Song and the others went to Demon Fall Valley, and they should have definitely returned to the sect by now. However, according to the disciples I sent to look for them, no one has seen them since they entered Demon Fall Valley and have not returned. Some cultivators saw them in the outer valley, but they disappeared from the valley shortly after “Demon Fall. I suspect that the three of them might…” Liu Luo’s voice suddenly cut off. “Did the three of them enter the inner valley and encounter some kind of dangerous situation or fall into a trap?” Han Li finished his sentence for him. After saying that, his expression remained very calm, and it was impossible to understand his thoughts. “That’s exactly what I thought. The inner part of Demon Fall Valley is still very dangerous, but you’re a Great Cultivator now, so exploring the inner valley won’t be a problem for you, right?” Liu Luo asked hesitantly. “The spatial rifts in the inner valley of Demon Fall Valley don’t pose much of a threat to me. As long as I don’t enter any of the extremely dangerous places, I’ll be fine. Recently, I came to the conclusion that my tool… anyway, so I’ll head there,” Han Li replied without hesitation. “That would be better. Then I’ll leave it to you, Junior Martial Brother.” “ However, keep in mind that you are the Great Elder of the Sect, and the prosperity of our sect now rests on your shoulders, so your safety is the number one priority,” Liu Luo warned with a serious expression. “Rest assured, Senior Martial Brother Liu. There is no one in the Heavenly Southern Region who can harm me, and I will also do my utmost to avoid danger,” Han Li replied with a casual smile, but in his mind, he was already thinking about the Supreme Devil Corpse that he had lost many years ago in the Demon Fall Valley. Could this devil corpse have something to do with the disappearance of his disciples? Suddenly, this thought came to Han Li’s mind for no apparent reason. Although he felt rather puzzled, Han Li’s expression remained quite calm, and he leisurely walked out of the hall after chatting with Liu Luo for a while. Two days later, Han Li visited Nangong Wan in the forbidden area before leaving the Drifting Cloud Sect and heading to Demon Fall Valley. More than a month later, three streaks of light flew at high speed above Chang Province in Dongyou State. Suddenly, they landed at an unknown mountain, revealing three muscular men. All three were very tall and broad-shouldered, and each of them had a colorful ribbon tied to their shoulders. They looked similar and seemed to look the same. Meanwhile , three other cultivators were already waiting for them at the top of the mountain. One of them was an elderly man, another was a middle-aged scholar, and the last one was a young man with a bright smile on his face. “Haha, I hope we didn’t keep you waiting too long, Brother Huo! My brothers and I had some important matters to take care of on the way here, so please don’t blame us for being late! Huh? Are these two disciples from your sect?” — The eldest of the three brawny men laughed heartily as he turned to face the elderly cultivator. However, when he saw the young man and the middle-aged scholar, a look of confusion flashed across his eyes. He found that both the elderly man and the middle-aged scholar were standing on either side of the young man, with respectful expressions on their faces. Even after the elderly man heard his greeting, he only responded with a restrained smile and did not dare to strike up a conversation with the three of them. Naturally, this came as a surprise to the three brawny men. They swept their spiritual senses over the young man, and waves of shock swept through their hearts when they discovered that the young man’s body was seemingly made of illusory fog, rendering their attempts to ascertain his cultivation level completely ineffective. All three men’s expressions changed dramatically upon this discovery! Chapter 1182: Returning to Demon Fall Valley “So you three are the Zhao brothers of the Golden Sea Sect?” — the young man asked with a smile. “Who are you? What is going on here, Lord Daoist Huo?” The muscular man’s face showed a wary expression. “Please don’t be rude, Lord Daoist Zhao. This is our sect’s great elder, and the other person is Junior Martial Brother Ling.” The old man’s words startled the three muscular men. “Great Elder? Are you Elder Han?” the muscular man exclaimed in disbelief. “That’s right, I really am the Sect’s great elder.” “Drifting Clouds. I apologize for asking Martial Nephew Huo to invite the three of you to this place so suddenly.” The young man smiled, revealing rows of pristine white teeth. He was none other than Han Li, who had come all the way from the Drifting Clouds Sect to the Dongyu State. “Not at all, Elder Han! It is an honor to meet you!” The brawny man carefully examined Han Li once more to confirm that his appearance truly matched that of a legendary figure in the Heavenly Southern Region, and he immediately bowed respectfully. His two brothers also hurriedly followed suit. Han Li waved his hand and calmly asked, “There is no need for such formalities, Lord Daoists. After all, the three of you are not disciples of our sect. “I heard from Martial Nephew Huo that the three of you saw three female disciples of our sect in Demon Fall Valley. Is that true?” The muscular man hesitated slightly upon hearing this, and then gave an honest answer. “That is indeed the case. When my brothers and I were in Demon Fall Valley, we caught a glimpse of them.” “I see. Could you tell me about the situation when you met them in more detail?” Han Li asked in a soft voice. “Of course. A few months ago, my brother needed a rare material to refine his treasure, so we decided to enter Demon Fall Valley in the hopes of finding it. However, we were unable to find the material we needed, and just as we were about to leave the valley, we met three female disciples from your sect. I had met one of them in the past and was familiar with them, so I chatted with them for a bit. However, they seemed to be looking for something, and I was also in a hurry, so my brothers and I left after a short chat. “After that, my brothers and I immediately left the valley , and we haven’t seen those three women since then,” the muscular man said respectfully. Han Li was silent for a while, and then waved his sleeve in the air, sending a jade slip to the man who had spoken earlier. “Mister Daoist, could you provide more details about where you encountered them? I have a map of the outer valley of Demon Fall Valley, so could you mark the exact location where you encountered them?” “The place where we encountered them was already somewhere quite deep in the outer valley.” The man hurriedly caught the jade slip and inserted his spiritual sense into it. He then immediately recalled it and handed the jade slip to Han Li with both hands. Han Li raised his hand, and the jade slip burst into his palm as a streak of azure light. He inserted his spiritual sense into the slip and immediately frowned. After putting away the plate, Han Li smiled at the three brothers, then turned to the elderly man and the middle-aged scholar, saying, “This place is indeed already very close to the inner valley. Thank you for your help, Lord Daoists. Martial Nephew Huo, Martial Nephew Wu, you can stay in the company of the three Daoists, and it’s time for me to go.” “Of course, Martial Uncle Han!” The scholar and the elderly man immediately bowed their heads in farewell to Han Li, and the three muscular men also hurriedly followed suit. A brilliant azure light burst out from Han Li’s body, and he shot into the distance, instantly disappearing from sight. Only after the streak of azure light disappeared into the distance did one of the muscular men let out a heavy sigh and ask with an incredulous expression, “Brother Huo! Is this really the new Great Cultivator from your sect, Elder Han Li?” “This person really is that Martial Uncle Han. “The three of you are lucky to have met him! Martial Uncle Han has become an extremely famous figure in the Heavenly Southern Region, but he very rarely appears before our sect and our disciples, and even I have only met him a few times,” the old man said with a wry smile. “That’s right! Martial Uncle Han rarely interacts with the disciples of our sect. It has been several decades since I reached the Core Formation stage, and I have only seen him once from afar during the ceremony that recently concluded. However, if it weren’t for the incident with our senior martial sisters, Great Elder would most likely have continued to stay in his cave residence,” the old man interjected. The scholar sighed dejectedly. One of the muscular men hesitated slightly, and then said with a gloomy expression, “Does this mean that the three female disciples really disappeared in Demon Fall Valley? My brothers and I heard some rumors about it recently, but we thought they were fabricated stories.” “There’s no point in hiding such things. My three junior martial sisters really did get into trouble,” the elderly man sighed. “But all three of them are Core Formation cultivators, how could they disappear like this? Could it be that they dared to enter the inner valley?” The muscular man was very surprised to hear this. “That’s most likely the case. It would be best if they were trapped somewhere in the inner valley. In that case, Martial Uncle Han would definitely be able to save them,” the scholar mused with a worried expression. “Do these three female disciples have some kind of special relationship with Elder Han?” “ From the looks of it, Elder Han doesn’t seem to be the type of person to willingly interfere in the sect’s affairs,” the muscular man guessed. “Hehe, I heard that Senior Martial Sister Song has known Martial Uncle Han for a long time. However, I think the main factor that influenced Martial Uncle Han’s decision to enter Demon Fall Valley were the other two Senior Martial Sisters. I heard that Senior Martial Sister Liu is one of Elder Han’s disciples, and Senior Martial Sister Mu Peiling was once Martial Uncle Han’s maid. Now that the three of them have disappeared at the same time, Martial Uncle Han naturally can’t just stand by and watch,” the elderly man said with a smile. The three muscular men understood after hearing this. While these Core Formation cultivators were discussing among themselves, Han Li was flying towards Demon Fall Valley at full speed. He flew while holding a white jade talisman in his hands, a thoughtful expression on his face. Suddenly, a child’s voice rang out, “ Daoist Master Han, are you worried about your disciples going missing, or are you worried about not being able to find the contents of this half-page of the Golden Jade Tome?” Han Li glanced at one of his sleeves and calmly replied, “The three of them most likely entered the inner part of Demon Fall Valley, and as long as nothing happened to them, rescuing them shouldn’t be too difficult. The Beveled Silver Text you taught me, are you sure you haven’t forgotten to tell me anything? Why is the content on this half-page so difficult to decipher? I’ve only been able to confirm one thing this entire time, namely that the page does indeed contain a talisman forging technique, but it’s too complicated.” “Hehe, that’s only to be expected. After all, this half-page contains a talisman forging technique left behind by an immortal. “If a cultivator like you could easily decipher the contents, then I would be skeptical about the authenticity of half of this page. Besides, you only have half a page, so naturally it’s even harder for you to understand its contents,” the little child giggled. “You’re right. I’ll examine this half of the page again.” Han Li nodded and put away the jade talisman. After a brief silence, the child asked, “ Daoist Lord Han, I’ve already taught you the beveled silver text and bestowed upon you the Fire Spiritual Thread and Eye of Destruction refinement techniques. Are you willing to fulfill your promise to help me surpass my metamorphosis stage?” “Rest assured, Daoist Lord Endless Sky, I never take back my words. Once I take care of my own affairs, I’ll find a secret place and help you reach the metamorphosis stage,” Han Li replied. “Okay, that’s all I needed to hear.” The little child seemed very satisfied with Han Li’s answer, and immediately fell silent after that. Han Li also remained silent as he flew through the air at full speed and disappeared from sight after a few flashes. Half a day later, the transport formation that the Spiritual Ghost Sect had set up could be seen at the entrance of Demon Fall Valley. However, there was a thick layer of dust above it, indicating that it had not been used for many years. This made sense, as most of the restrictions and countless spatial rifts around the outskirts of Demon Fall Valley had disappeared, and even the outermost layer of restrictions had practically disappeared. was absent. Anyone whose cultivation level had reached the Core Formation stage or higher could easily access the valley through the fragile restriction areas, and they didn’t even need to pass through a set entrance. As such, the Spiritual Ghost Sect’s transportation formation had lost its necessity. Of course, the entrance to Demon Fall Valley was still the place that most cultivators turned to to enter the valley. After all, it was a path that countless cultivators had passed through, so naturally, it was a much safer route than any alternatives. However, there was currently a group of six cultivators standing near the transportation formation. They were all dressed in different clothes and seemed to be discussing something. They were all Core Formation cultivators, and one of them was even a late-stage Core Formation cultivator . They all seemed to be preparing to enter the valley through the entrance. Suddenly, a whistling sound was heard in the air, and the group of cultivators were startled by the sound, and they all hurriedly turned in that direction. A streak of azure light quickly flashed in the air, attracting the attention of the cultivators. When they tried to take a closer look, the azure light suddenly flashed and disappeared. Their expressions changed dramatically and they used their spiritual senses when the same sound erupted a little over a hundred feet away! An azure light flashed right before their eyes, and then disappeared into the valley. Even with so many Core Formation cultivators present, not a single one of them was able to clearly see what had just flown past them. They all glanced at each other, but found that their surprise was reflected in everyone else’s eyes. That streak of azure light was naturally none other than Han Li, who was flying at full speed. He didn’t have time to waste on chatting with a few Core Formation cultivators, and rushed straight to Demon Fall Valley, heading straight for the location that the man from the Golden Sea Sect had indicated on the jade slip. If he remembered correctly, this place seemed to be not far from where he had entered the inner valley the last time he had been there with the Purple Spiritual Fairy and the Spiritual Ghost Sect cultivators. Furthermore, Xin Yu was on good terms with the Purple Spiritual Fairy, so it was understandable how she knew about this place. As such, Han Li immediately flew in that direction. Most of the spatial gaps in the outer valley had disappeared, so Han Li was able to fly at full speed. At this speed, it only took him half a day to reach the huge ice rift that led into the inner valley. Han Li circled in the air, and then flew into the ice crack emotionlessly. Chapter 1183: Blood Moon Spiritual Searching Technique Several hours later, Han Li finally emerged from the ice crack, but immediately removed the azure light around him and hovered in the air amidst the freezing winds. In the inner valley, his spiritual sense was still greatly limited, so it would be very difficult for him to search in the air with just his spiritual sense. After thinking for a moment, Han Li patted the bag for storing spiritual beasts. The next moment, a loud buzzing sound was heard from the bag, and countless Golden Gluttonous Beetles burst out, circling above the owner’s head. He quickly made a series of spell seals with his hands and sent spells to the beetles. He then sat on the ground with his legs folded, and slowly closed his eyes. The cloud of golden bugs dispersed into several pieces, which flew in all directions and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Han Li divided his spiritual sense into many threads to find the three women. Considering that the three women were only at the Core Formation stage, and none of them were reckless, Han Li thought that even if they ventured into the inner valley, they would not venture deep inside. Thus, he initially searched a relatively small area at first. After finding no trace of them, he flew several dozen kilometers further into the inner valley and released his Golden Gluttonous Bugs again. Naturally, Han Li was able to find traces of the three women on the mountain where they were searching for the Illusory Spiritual Grass. After discovering this with his bugs, Han Li was overjoyed and immediately headed to the place himself for a more thorough inspection. As a result, he found signs confirming that the three women had indeed entered the inner valley and that they had remained on this mountain for a considerable period of time. However, when he expanded the scope of his search again, no traces of the women were found. As a result, Han Li returned to the top of the mountain and pondered. After a period of contemplation, he suddenly shouted, and all of his bugs within a radius of several tens of kilometers flew towards him. He then stored them in the bag for storing spiritual beasts. However, Han Li immediately pulled out another bag, from which twelve snow-white centipedes flew out. They were the Six-Winged Ice Centipedes! Han Li cast a spell seal and the twelve centipedes scattered under his command, turning into twelve gusts of icy wind that disappeared in different directions in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, Han Li remained in place. After an indeterminate amount of time, Han Li stirred, turning into a streak of azure light and flying in the direction he came from. Some time later, he found an ice centipede circling over a certain spot in the air, letting out a low screech as it did so. Han Li slightly squinted his eyes and immediately flew towards the snow-white centipede. He looked down at the ground and found a long and thin black object. This object was lying on a patch of grass, giving the impression that it was a strange black branch, so it was no wonder his Golden Gluttonous Bugs had not noticed it before. Han Li frowned and waved his hand towards the branch, pulling it into his hand. He carefully examined the object and his expression changed. This was not just any branch, but a small part of a tentacle. Furthermore, judging from the icy Qi that was emitting from this item, it was the tentacle of a Six-Winged Ice Centipede. However, his Six-Winged Ice Centipedes had all of their tentacles intact. Furthermore, they were white, while this one was black and shrouded in a dark aura that Han Li was very familiar with. This was Supreme Yin Devil Qi! Furthermore, this Devil Qi seemed to be even purer than the one that Zen Yin used. Han Li stroked the part of the tentacle, and waves of shock pierced his heart. One had to understand that Supreme Yin Devil Qi could only be cultivated through the Supreme Yin Art. Only Zen Yin and Wu Chou had mastered this art, and even most of their disciples had not received it from their masters. Thus, there was no way they could cultivate such pure Devil Qi and travel to the Southern Heavenly Region. Han Li thought deeply with a puzzled expression on his face. “Wait, there’s still something that knows all the mantras of the Supreme Yin Arts and cultivates Supreme Yin Devil Qi! It looks like it will also be able to cultivate this Devil Qi with such a high degree of purity.” A thought suddenly occurred to Han Li, and a peculiar expression appeared on his face. “Has the Nascent Soul Wood Spirit also returned to the Southern Heavenly Region?” Han Li muttered to himself as he looked up at the sky. He had always been worried about his second Nascent Soul going missing. After returning to the Southern Heavenly Region, he should have immediately gone to look for this Nascent Soul, but Nangong Wan had yet to break out of the ice wall, and worrying about her was more important than traveling for such a long time. Moreover, so many years had passed that his second Nascent Soul had most likely been able to achieve sentient will. Thus, it did not matter when he went to search. Therefore, he put the matter aside completely and decided to travel to Moulanei Valley in a few years. However, it turned out that this second Nascent Soul had returned to the Heavenly Southern Region on its own initiative and was hiding in Demon Fall Valley. In that case, it most likely had something to do with the disappearance of the Mu Peiling trio, which ironically meant, that they were most likely safe. After all, the Nascent Soul perfectly reproduced his memories and emotions. Even if his personality had changed after all these years, it was still highly unlikely that he would kill these three women in cold blood. Han Li considered all the possibilities with a serious expression. After so many years had passed, the second Nascent Soul would most likely already have its own body. Furthermore, from the moment he entered the inner valley, he had not sensed any trace of the Supreme Devil Corpse, which he had also inserted the thread of his spiritual sense into. Therefore , it could be considered that his devilish corpse was not subjugated by the second Nascent Soul; rather, it was possessed by it. Many thoughts flashed through Han Li’s mind as he put himself in the second Nascent Soul’s place, and the truth soon became clear to him. He scratched his chin and sighed heavily. At this moment, all of the remaining centipedes returned to him, and it seemed like they hadn’t found anything else. Han Li wasn’t surprised by this. The reason he had put away the Golden Gluttonous Beetles and released twelve Six-Winged Ice Centipedes instead was because Liu Yu also had ice centipedes with her. Even though her spirit insects were of a much lower rank than his own, it was possible to find the three women through the connection between spirit insects. However, since the intruder was most likely his second Nascent Soul, he would definitely take measures to prevent this method from working. Han Li put away the centipedes and pondered the situation with a gloomy expression on his face. “It looks like I’ll have to use this technique to find them. I obtained this secret technique after the soul went missing, so there’s no way for her to take measures against this technique. However, I’ll have to spend some blood essence,” Han Li muttered reluctantly. It seemed that he was unwilling to resort to this technique. However, he still patted the storage bag, from which white jade plates and a small crimson flag appeared at the same time. He tossed the two items into the air, and they flew up in the form of two streaks of light, one white and one red, and then hovered in front of him. Han Li then opened his mouth and released a ball of azure light, enveloping the plate. He then ran his finger across the wrist of his other hand, causing a thin wound with a flash of azure light. In the next instant, several drops of blood essence flowed out from the wound on his wrist. Han Li blew on the drops of blood, and they immediately disappeared into the white jade plate. Han Li then pointed his finger at the small crimson flag, and under his command, it flew straight towards the formation plate. After that, the flag slightly trembled and turned into a sphere of scarlet mist, enveloping the jade plate inside. Han Li began chanting, and the jade plate began to glow with a crimson light, after which flashes of crimson mist materialized from his blood essence began to appear on it. The crimson mist then merged, forming a single cloud of blood mist in the air. At this moment, Han Li suddenly screamed, and an azure light flashed in his eyes. He then pointed his finger at the jade plate. The jade plate glowed with a bright crimson light, taking the form of a full moon of crimson light, and in just a few flashes, it absorbed all of the blood mist spreading around it. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Li let out a soft cry and slammed his finger onto the jade plate again. A pillar of green light burst out from the tip of his finger, and then disappeared into the center of the jade plate. The blood moon rang loudly and trembled, as if it was about to rise into the air and fly away. The light in Han Li’s eyes dimmed slightly, and a wry smile appeared on his face. “This is my first time using the Blood Moon Spiritual Searching Technique from the Great Cultivation Technique Scriptures . I wonder if it will actually be as effective as the scriptures say. There’s only one way to find out. If it weren’t for the fact that I retained a few drops of Mu Peiling’s blood essence and set spiritual restrictions on it, I wouldn’t even be able to use this secret technique,” Han Li muttered as he swallowed. pill, and sat cross-legged in place. Han Li opened his eyes again after about an hour, he had returned to his original state. He immediately cast a spell on the jade plate, after which the blood moon turned into a piercing streak of crimson light and flew away into the distance. Han Li’s body swayed, and his body also turned into a streak of azure light, which flew after the scarlet streak. In the blink of an eye, the two streaks of light completely disappeared from sight. The crimson ball of light flew slightly ahead, and Han Li followed behind it. After half a day of flight, the scarlet ball of light led Han Li to an extremely barren and secluded pool. A burst of scorching heat immediately descended upon him. Han Li’s expression changed slightly, discovering that everything in the pool was black or red. On the outskirts of the pool were spherical black rocks, and in the center was a scarlet lava lake. The scorching heat emanating from the lava lake caused even the air above the lava pool to deform and shimmer, creating quite a frightening scene to behold. A ball of scarlet light circled in the air above the lava lake while letting out a sharp screech, looking as if it wanted to descend but did not dare to do so. Han Li stroked his chin and looked at the lava below with a cold smile on his face. “Hehe, he really knows how to find good hiding places. If it weren’t for that secret technique, I really wouldn’t have been able to find this place. However, now that I know they’re here, no amount of lava will be able to stop me.” Chapter 1184: Rescue Han Li raised his hand and a scarlet ball of light immediately whistled through the air towards him, then obediently landed in the center of his palm. Han Li raised his other hand and purple flames appeared on it with a crackling sound, and in the next instant, they enveloped his entire body. Thus, Han Li transformed into a massive purple fireball that slammed down. The fireball that Han Li had transformed into was unfazed by the crimson lava below. It landed on it with a loud bang and disappeared into the lava lake. A huge splash erupted on the surface of the lake, but it soon returned to a calm state as if nothing had happened. At this point, Han Li had already reached a depth of over a hundred feet and was continuing to descend even further. Even though he was completely immersed in lava, his Supreme Purple could easily withstand the scorching heat as it was an icy flame. After descending to a depth of over two thousand feet, Han Li finally reached the bottom of the lake and his feet touched the ground, which was covered in solid black rocks. He looked back and could see nothing but a crimson expanse in all directions. Han Li frowned at this and injected spiritual power into his eyes, activating his Spiritual Awareness Eyes. After surveying his surroundings once more, Han Li picked up the scarlet jade slip in his hand. The slip swung and began to twitch in a certain direction, as if trying to escape from his hands. Han Li immediately flew in that direction. After flying for a while, the jade slip suddenly stopped rattling, instead sharply falling downwards. Han Li was able to react in time and caught the jade slip again. At this moment, he did not need to come out of the protective cocoon formed by the purple flames. At the same time, he also looked straight ahead. With a slight change in expression, he raised his hand, releasing a stream of golden light that headed straight for the bottom of the lake. With a loud explosion, a massive gap of about eighty feet long was torn through the normal lakebed. A blue light immediately emitted from within the gap, driving away all the scorching lava. Underneath this lake was a restriction similar to a light barrier. Seeing this, Han Li was delighted and dove towards the light barrier without hesitation. The blue light barrier was clearly not an extremely difficult restriction, as his Supreme Violet Flame was easily able to burn a large hole of about ten feet in diameter on its surface. Han Li immediately flew into this hole and appeared on the other side of the light barrier. The blue light barrier immediately closed, once again holding back the lava. Ignoring this, Han Li began to survey his surroundings. At this moment, he found himself in a secret underground tunnel. The ground and walls around him were uneven, giving the impression that this was a natural tunnel rather than an artificial one. Han Li immediately threw out his jade slip again. The jade slip circled in the air, and then turned into a crimson moon again and flew deeper into the tunnel. Han Li rose into the air with an indifferent expression on his face and followed the blood moon. After flying for about two to three kilometers, the tunnel began to gradually tilt upward. After moving another thousand feet or so, Han Li finally saw a light ahead, indicating that he had arrived at the exit. The blood moon immediately flew towards the light without any hesitation. However, Han Li had a wary expression on his face, and he silently waved his sleeve, releasing a ball of three-colored flames. This was his Three Lights Fan. Han Li grabbed the fan in his hand and his body swayed, and in the next moment, he walked towards the exit of the tunnel where he stood, cautiously inspecting his surroundings. His surroundings were very dark and dim, but everything was crystal clear to his spiritual eyes. This was a natural underground cave, and it seemed to be completely devoid of human presence. Han Li raised an eyebrow as his gaze fell on the exit at the end of the cave, which seemed to lead to another cave. At this moment, the blood moon was flying straight towards this exit. However, its momentum was stopped just as it reached the opening, and it began to emit a sharp buzzing sound. Then, a crunching cracking sound was heard, and about a dozen or so thin black cracks appeared on the surface of the blood moon. After the last flash, the crimson moon broke into highlights. The jade slab made a circle in the air, and then turned back into a crimson moon and darted into the depths of the tunnel. Han Li was not alarmed by this, but rather, was delighted. It only took him a few seconds to reach another cave connected to this one, and he found that he was in an even larger cave than the previous one. However, when he focused his gaze and looked around, he was slightly hesitant due to what he saw. The entire cave was filled with thick black fog, covering almost every inch of space in the area. However, once a portion of this fog reached the exit of the cave, it would immediately stop, as if being restricted by an invisible barrier. With his Spiritual Insight Eyes, navigating this black fog cave was not a problem. Thus, Han Li immediately noticed three women lying completely still in the center of the cave. They were the Mu Peiling Trio! Below the three of them was a strange spell formation, glittering with faint spiritual light, and black fog was continuously crashing into this formation. Han Li did not immediately rush over to save the three women. Instead, he scanned every inch of the cave with his spiritual sense, and after confirming that his second Nascent Soul was not hiding somewhere in the shadows, he faked a grabbing motion towards the cave entrance. A roaring sound was heard along with the flash of golden light. A thick black fog immediately emerged from another cave and rushed towards Han Li. However, Han Li was merely a spell seal, and a layer of golden arcs of light enveloped his body, crackling with the sounds of thunder and lightning. All the black fog that came into contact with the lightning arcs were immediately dispersed into nothingness. Han Li stepped forward and walked straight into the black fog. The golden arcs of lightning danced around him, crackling and writhing, and kept the black fog away from him. However, the black fog seemed to have intelligence, as in the blink of an eye, it fused into a dozen or so black snakes of varying sizes. The snakes circled around Han Li menacingly, wanting to pounce on him but not daring to do so. Seeing this, Han Li’s expression changed, and his Three Lights Fan instantly disappeared from his hand in a flash of brilliant light. At the same time, the lightning arcs enveloping his body became even more dazzling. With a wave of his hand, two golden lightning snakes burst out from his sleeve , easily tearing apart the black snakes and turning them into nothing in the blink of an eye. Then, the two lightning snakes continued their attack, recklessly charging through the surrounding black fog. With a deafening roar from the explosions, the black fog was completely destroyed, and Han Li was able to access the formation without any further obstruction. With a quick glance at this formation, Han Li could already tell that it was an extremely simple illusory formation. It seemed that the magical power of the three women was limited. Otherwise, a formation of this caliber would not be enough to trap three Core Formation cultivators. Seeing this, Han Li snapped his ten fingers towards the formation. In the next instant, about a dozen golden sword Qi flew out from his fingertips at the same time. The illusory formation was instantly destroyed. Almost at the same time, in the countless bottomless abyss on the Seven Spiritual Islands, a tall and broad humanoid shadow suddenly opened its eyes. The humanoid figure sat on the platform that Han Li had used all those years ago, his entire body enveloped in devilish Qi. An extremely surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face. He suddenly stuck his hand into his sleeve, and a blue bead immediately appeared on his palm. However, a clear crack ran right down the center of the bead’s smooth surface. “Impossible! The restriction has been released. How did this person manage to find this place so quickly? If it were me, I would be completely powerless to do anything,” the humanoid figure muttered in a rough voice with a hint of disbelief and a hint of despondency. “So be it. I didn’t expect these three to do much for me. However, I can’t stay in this place any longer. I must complete this process of introducing devilish Qi into my body, and then find another secret place to cultivate,” the humanoid figure muttered, and then closed its eyes, seemingly having managed to quickly recover. At this moment, Han Li had already pulled out a green jade bottle from his bag and poured three fragrant pills into his palm. He fed them to the three women, and then stood silently to the side with his hands clasped behind his back. Only about ten minutes passed before Song Yu was the first to wake up. “It looks like your cultivation level has improved greatly, Martial Niece Song. You managed to wake up earlier than I expected.” Before she had fully regained her senses, a familiar male voice suddenly rang in her ears. After Song Yu regained her senses, she shuddered. She opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Han Li appraising her with a hint of a smile on his face. “Martial Uncle Han! Wait, no, are you really Martial Uncle Han?” Song Yu exclaimed in surprise. “Hehe, you’re very cautious, aren’t you, Martial Niece Song Yu.” “I had to work hard to find this place. As for whether I am the real Han Li or not, do you think I am an impostor?” Han Li chuckled softly. “So you really are Martial Uncle Han!” Song Yu still had conflicting feelings. She was about seventy percent sure that this was indeed the real Han Li, but she still did not dare to fully trust this judgment. Han Li smiled and did not say anything. Instead, he simply waved his hand towards Song Yu. A dozen such silver needles suddenly flew out from different places all over Song Yu’s body, and all the needles rushed into Han Li’s arms. Almost at the same time, Song Yu felt the magical power in her body resume its free circulation. An ecstatic expression immediately appeared on her face. At this moment, Mu Peiling and Liu Yu also woke up one after another. They were also amazed by Han Li’s appearance. However, Mu Peiling was able to immediately verify Han Li’s identity using the limitation in her spiritual sense, and she hurriedly rose to her feet and then bowed deeply to Han Li. Seeing this, Liu Yu and Song Yu were absolutely convinced that it was the real Han Li in front of them. They followed her and rose to their feet and bowed respectfully to their master. “Were the three of you captured by my missing second Nascent Soul?” Han Li asked. “Master, have you encountered a Nascent Soul before?” Liu Yu blurted out upon hearing this. “If I had encountered it before, would I be asking this question?” Han Li said calmly as he took out the silver needles from his Liu Yu and Mu Peiling’s bodies. Chapter 1185: Returning to the Seven Spiritual Islands. Han Li’s statement was quite strange to the Mu Peiling trio. If he hadn’t encountered the black-robed figure before, how did he know that they were captured by his second Nascent Soul? In the end, Liu Yu suppressed her confusion and replied, “The one who captured us was indeed your lost second Nascent Soul, Master. Furthermore, the Nascent Soul possessed a body and had a cultivation level at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.” She said this while recalling what had happened. “It had a body? Tell me what this body looks like.” Han Li seemed intrigued by this. At this moment, the two golden lightning snakes had already cleared away the surrounding black fog, and they burst into the air, disappearing into Han Li’s body. The three women were stunned by Han Li’s mastery of lightning. At their Core Formation Stage cultivation levels, they could already shape their techniques into various forms. However, their capabilities were far from being able to manipulate these techniques as if it were second nature to them, as was the case with Han Li. After calming her emotions, Liu Yu began to describe the appearance of the black-robed figure. Han Li didn’t need to listen to her story for long to determine that the second Nascent Soul had indeed possessed his Supreme Devil Corpse. His expression remained calm, but inside, he felt quite tense. If it weren’t for the Blood Moon Spiritual Seeking Technique that he had mastered from the Great Cultivation Technique Scriptures, it would have been very difficult for him to find the Mu Peiling trio indeed. This second Nascent Soul knew him very well, so he definitely couldn’t let her go free. Otherwise, she would definitely come back to kill him someday. After listening to Liu Yu’s description, he immediately instructed, “The three of you, leave this place now and return to the sect. Since the second Nascent Soul has already returned to the Heavenly Southern Region, I will definitely have to capture it. I must thoroughly explore the inner valley, and it would be better if I did it alone.” “Martial Uncle Han, his cultivation level is not inferior to yours. Before trying to capture her, you should take someone to help you. Otherwise… Huh? Martial Uncle Han, your cultivation level…” Song Yu released her spiritual sense on Han Li and her expression changed dramatically. Hearing Song Yu’s stunned voice, Mu Peiling and Liu Yu also assessed Han Li’s cultivation level with their spiritual senses, which naturally made them surprised as well. It was only after a while that Mu Peiling managed to recover from her shock a little, and she asked with an incredulous expression, “Master, have you already become a Great Cultivator?” “I forgot that the three of you don’t know about this yet. My Great Cultivator Ceremony was half a year ago, and I am already a Great Elder of the sect, so I will take care of the Nascent Soul at the mid-stage. Dealing with it will not be a problem for me,” Han Li explained with a slight smile. The three women were naturally delighted by what they heard, and began to congratulate their master. Han Li accepted their congratulations with a smile and ordered them to leave this place again. Now, none of the three women had any objections. After bowing to Han Li one last time, they set off. Some time later, three beams of light burst out from the lava lake and disappeared from the inner valley. Meanwhile, Han Li remained in the cave and decided to wait here for a few days. It was such a strange place that if the second Nascent Soul were to leave it for a while, it would definitely return soon. Otherwise, it would have to reside somewhere else in the valley or leave Demon Fall Valley altogether. In the end, Han Li waited in the cave for seven days, but the Nascent Soul still had not returned. Thus, he decided to end this waiting game and left the cave. He then released all tens of thousands of his Golden Gluttonous Bugs from the storage bag to comb the entire inner valley. Despite his best efforts, he was unable to find the second Nascent Soul, but he was able to discover many ancient treasures left behind by cultivators from the distant past. Although these treasures were completely useless to him, and couldn’t even compare to a replica of a spiritual treasure like his Three Lights Fan, they were still considered rare by the people of the Heavenly Southern Region. However, Han Li did not feel any joy from these finds. During this process, he had discovered traces of the second Nascent Soul’s activity, and many of the ancient cultivators’ cave residences were already completely empty, as they had clearly been looted recently. Han Li could now confirm that the second Nascent Soul had most likely left the inner valley along with these treasures. This was quite an unpleasant prospect for him. However, after thinking about it carefully, he discovered that the second Nascent Soul was actually still traceable. The Second Nascent Soul’s ultimate goal was to devour his soul and take over his body, so she was clearly fixated on improving her cultivation level to become as powerful as Han Li. According to the descriptions provided by these three women, after mastering the Supreme Devil Corpse, the Second Nascent Soul specialized in cultivating the Supreme Yin Art. If she wanted to cultivate Supreme Yin Devil Qi to the maximum extent, she could use a shortcut to cultivate. For example, performing a blood sacrifice to drastically improve her cultivation level. However, this technique was not without its side effects. In most cases, anyone who dabbled in such sinister secret techniques would experience the progress of their cultivation level narrowing after that initial spurt, and then find that they could not progress at all. Thus, the technique described in the Supreme Yin Art, during which one injected devilish Qi into one’s body to improve one’s cultivation progress, was the best option for the second Nascent Soul. Using such a method to forcibly inject devilish Qi into one’s body could allow a devilish cultivator to break through bottlenecks in an extremely short time, thereby greatly increasing their cultivation level. However, this technique also came with its attendant consequences. At best, the cultivator’s body and appearance would be altered by devilish Qi under the influence of the devilification process, and at worst, one could completely lose one’s sanity and turn into a vile creature – half human, half demon. Thus, it was an extremely dangerous method for ordinary cultivators. However, this risk did not apply to the second Nascent Soul. He had a devilish corpse and he knew the cultivation technique from the Great Cultivation Technique, allowing him to much more effectively resist the effects of this technique and not lose his sanity. Thus, the risk associated with it was greatly minimized. When the second Nascent Soul left him, she was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul, but in such a short time, she had already reached the middle stage. Unless she had stumbled upon some other miraculous opportunity, she had most likely already used this technique. Demon Fall Valley was the place where the High Demon had appeared many years ago, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if there were still some devilish Qi left in some places. Han Li sat and meditated on the top of the nameless mountain for about a day, constantly pondering the situation with the second Nascent Soul and trying to predict her next move. In the end, he was actually able to predict her move… “Thousand Depths Devil Abyss!” Han Li suddenly opened his eyes, muttering to himself in a cold voice. An azure light flashed above his body, and he dashed into the distance. Two days later, Han Li had already left Demon Fall Valley and was heading towards the Seven Spiritual Islands at an incredible speed. According to the Supreme Yin Art, it took about a year to complete the initial stage of the process in which one injects the devilish Qi into one’s body. He did not want to be late and still have the opportunity to save his second Nascent Soul. Almost at the same time, a figure in black In the clothes in the Thousand Depths Devil Abyss, Nascent Soul seemed to realize that Han Li may have predicted her location. However, she was at a turning point in her cultivation and could not leave the Devil Abyss. Furthermore, because Nascent Soul was afraid of her location being discovered, she hid herself all the way from Demon Fall Valley to the Thousand Depths Devil Abyss, not interacting with any cultivators along the way. As such, she had missed the opportunity to hear extremely important information and was still unaware that Han Li had reached the late Nascent Soul stage. It was no wonder that Nascent Soul neglected this opportunity. After all, even Han Li himself had thought when he set out for Great Jin that it would take him at least three hundred years to reach the late Nascent Soul stage. The Second Nascent Soul clearly failed to predict that Han Li would suddenly miraculously advance to the late stage. Thus, he still calculated Han Li’s speed based on what he expected from a mid-stage cultivator. He estimated that even if Han Li was able to immediately determine that he was in the Thousand Depths Devil Abyss, it would still take him two months to reach there. Meanwhile, he was already in the late stage of introducing devil Qi into his body, and it would take him just over a month to complete the process. That was why, although the Nascent Soul felt uneasy, he still took the risk and stayed in the Devil Abyss. After all, if he failed in this case, it would be extremely difficult for him to return to the Devil Abyss now that Han Li knew of his plan. Thus, the Nascent Soul made a final decision. He decided to stay in the Devil Abyss for a month and a half. At this point, regardless of whether she succeeded or not, she was going to leave the abyss immediately. With half a month to spare, she was confident that she would be able to escape before Han Li arrived. With this in mind, the Nascent Soul managed to calm down and continue to absorb the devilish Qi into her body. However, after reaching the late stage of the Nascent Soul, Han Li was able to travel twice as fast as the middle stage, thus completing a journey that should have taken more than two months in just a month. He arrived at the Seven Spiritual Islands. In the past, Wei Wuya and the others had gifted him one of these seven islands, Spiritual Turtle Island, for his efforts in suppressing the devilish Qi, and he had entrusted this island to his sect. As such, there should be disciples of the Drifting Cloud Sect on this island. With this in mind, Han Li no longer rushed towards the Devil Abyss. Instead, he headed straight for Spiritual Turtle Island. A streak of azure light flashed in the air, and he descended onto a small mountain on the island. He sat cross-legged on the massive rock, releasing his incredibly strong spiritual sense. The island, several hundred kilometers in size, was instantly completely scanned by his spiritual sense, and at the same time, he discovered two cultivator settlements. Han Li’s lips twitched, and he said something in a very low voice, remaining seated in place with an indifferent expression on his face. Meanwhile, on Spirit Turtle Island, both cultivator settlements began to move. Soon, two groups of cultivators flew out from two different directions, straight towards the mountain Han Li was on. Han Li did not intend to get up, and simply looked at these cultivators indifferently. Suddenly, surprise appeared in his eyes. At this moment, two groups of cultivators had already risen into the air above the mountain, and upon recognizing Han Li, they hurriedly descended from above. “We greet Great Elder Han!” All the cultivators came forward and bowed deeply. The two people leading the groups were Core Formation cultivators. One was a yellow-robed man with small eyes and thick eyebrows, while the other was a woman who appeared to be in her early thirties. The dozen or so cultivators accompanying them were also at the Foundation Stage. “So it really is you! It’s been a while; it seems you’ve also reached the Formation Stage.” Cores.” Han Li suddenly turned to the yellow-robed cultivator with a smile on his face.
