A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

Rising Fame

Silvermoon worriedly muttered, “Then what should we do? Even if Master were to use the Bloodshadow Evasion, you would only be able to travel fifty kilometers. You’ll still be within the divine master’s spiritual sense and won’t be able to escape.”

Although Silvermoon didn’t say anything about Han Li’s act of saving her life, her heart stirred. She couldn’t help but feel a bit of concern.

“Of course I can’t do it with one attempt, but after using the Bloodshadow Evasion two or three times in a row and then using the remaining Divine Devilbane Lightning, I should have a 70% to 80% chance of escaping. Even if I have more magic power than an ordinary early-Nascent Soul cultivator, there’s still a certain risk after losing so much blood essence. Even if I’m unscathed, I’ll be extremely weak for a long time. However, it seems that there’s no other way to escape, so I have no choice but to use it.” Han Li seemed to have already considered this problem, and a hint of self-mockery appeared on his face.

“Master, you…” Silvermoon seemed to want to say something else.

Han Li’s expression suddenly changed and he raised his head to look at the drowsy sky behind him. With a sullen expression, he muttered, “That fellow is chasing me again. He’s following me more and more closely. I can’t delay any longer. I’ll have to take the risk!”

When Silvermoon saw this, she naturally didn’t continue.

Soon after, Han Li took a deep breath and quickly waved his ten fingers, forming a series of strange hand seals. At the same time, azure light flashed around his body and a burst of astonishing spiritual Qi suddenly erupted from his body.

He opened his mouth and spat out a ball of crimson blood essence, which immediately scattered in the wind, transforming into a bloody mist that blended into the azure light.

The spiritual light instantly turned azure-red in color.

At the same time, Han Li’s bare hands and face began to turn abnormally red. In the blink of an eye, they were as red as blood, and countless threads of blood were about to shoot out from his skin. It was an extremely frightening sight!

However, Han Li seemed to be completely unaware of this as he began to form hand seals even faster.

Two more mouthfuls of blood essence were spat out, and Han Li was completely enveloped within the blood mist, making his figure indistinct.

At that moment, light flashed in the distance, and three balls of silver light slowly flew over.

The silhouettes inside were none other than Divine Sage Zhong and his two incarnations.

The three of them flew toward Han Li at an unhurried pace, but their speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, they covered a distance of several thousand feet, allowing them to see Han Li with their naked eyes.

“Huh!” One of them wore an odd expression and frowned.

The azure mist of blood in the distance exploded, revealing a ball of blinding crimson light.

Han Li stood upright and coldly glanced at the Moulan Divine Sage. With a thunderclap, he spread his Thunderstorm Wings.

In the next instant, the surrounding space warped, and Han Li’s body blurred, disappearing from sight.

An ear-piercing screech immediately sounded out from a distance and soon became inaudible, as if it had escaped from nearby.

Shock appeared on the faces of the three scholars at the same time. After glancing at each other, the three of them suddenly gathered in the center.

With a flash of silver light, the three turned into one person.

The last scholar immediately closed his eyes and released his spiritual sense in the direction where the sharp cry had disappeared.

The scholarly man glanced at the spot where Han Li had disappeared with a trace of surprise on his face. “He’s over fifty kilometers away? What kind of movement technique is this? It’s somewhat similar to the Devil Cultivators’ blood movement technique, but the distance is truly astonishing.”

After these past few days of pursuit, Han Li had truly shocked him greatly.

This guy was actually able to continue fleeing without rest until now.

It should be known that even if an ordinary early Nascent Soul cultivator possessed the Lightning Movement Technique, their magic power would’ve long been exhausted and they would’ve been waiting for death. It seemed this guy either possessed a heavenly treasure that could instantly restore magic power or had used a secret technique that greatly damaged his vitality.

It appeared that Han Li hadn’t used his full strength until now as he had never displayed this strange evasion technique.

However, that didn’t matter. Although this guy was already fifty kilometers away, it was still within his spiritual sense’s control. He just needed to spend a bit more time.

The scholarly man coldly pondered for a moment before narrowing his eyes and locking his spiritual sense onto Han Li.

A cold smile appeared on his face as white light flashed from his body, and he was about to give chase again.

But right at this moment, the scholar suddenly sensed that Han Li’s aura had strangely disappeared once more. This caused him to freeze for a moment.

However, he immediately thought of something and hurriedly expanded the range of his spiritual sense to twice its original size before finally finding Han Li.

Before the scholarly man could sneer, Han Li’s aura flickered and he disappeared once more.

This time, the scholar was truly stunned.

Although his spiritual sense was powerful, it could only encompass an area of over 200 kilometers at most. After exceeding this range, he was still able to sense something, but he was unable to instantly lock onto a person.

Unless the other party stood still and waited for him to search for them with his spiritual sense, which was naturally impossible.

As for the other party, he was truly cunning. As soon as the guy realized that he was able to sense him with his spiritual sense, the guy actually used that strange movement technique several times in a row to slip away from his grasp.

This caused the scholar, who had never been toyed with in so many years, to alternate between red and white.

He was a dignified Moulan Divine Sage, yet he had lost an early-Nascent Soul cultivator during the chase. If news of this were to spread, he would lose face.

However, he had no intention of immediately giving chase.

Without his spiritual sense locked onto the target, the chances of catching up to the target with his other secret techniques were extremely slim.

He had already wasted several days on this person, so there was no way he could continue to pursue him.

After all, the Heavenly South’s late-Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn’t sit idly by as soon as the enemy’s Divine Sages appeared. He had to return and meet up with the other two to make preparations.

If he were surrounded by late-Nascent Soul cultivators, he would be in great danger.

The Moulan Divine Sage contemplated for a long while before his expression sank and he flew back in a streak of silver light.

In the blink of an eye, he was nowhere to be seen.

…

150 kilometers away, Han Li was flying in another direction as a streak of azure light.

As he flew through the air, he continuously took out various medicine bottles from his body and poured a few of the vitality-replenishing pills he had refined into his mouth.

At that moment, his face was pale and his eyes were dim and silent, as if his vitality had been greatly damaged.

Silvermoon’s concerned voice sounded in Han Li’s mind, “Master, are you alright? Using the Bloodshadow Evasion three times in a row is truly too risky. If it weren’t for the fact that Master desperately consumed many medicinal pills along the way, the third time you used it, I fear…”

Han Li slowly replied, “I’m fine. Although I’ve lost quite a bit of my blood essence, I still have some medicine pills that I refined in the past. As long as I take the medicine pills and recuperate for a few months, my cultivation will completely recover.”

Silvermoon heaved a sigh of relief and hesitantly asked, “Are we returning to Soaring Heavens City?”

Han Li sighed and helplessly said, “Of course not. With my current condition, I’ll have to recover my cultivation before I can return to the Nine Nations Union. Otherwise, there will be many enemies from the Ghost Spirit Sect. I won’t take such a risk. Fortunately, I’m using medicine pills to heal my injuries and don’t need a spirit vein place for recovery. I’ll find an uninhabited area and enter seclusion for a while. Furthermore, the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords are tainted with the azure lantern flames. Although I’ve used Purple Apex Flames to forcibly envelop them, they will still be a problem in my body. I must think of a way to get rid of them.”

Silvermoon chuckled and said, “That copper lantern is an inherited treasure of the Moulan, so it naturally has some tricks. However, I believe that as long as Master spends more time, you will be able to refine it. After all, Master’s Purple Apex Flames are no small matter.”

Han Li bitterly smiled and noncommittally replied, “Since the matter has already come to this, we can only slowly resolve it.”

Afterwards, Han Li didn’t say anything else and summoned the remaining spiritual power in his body. He then cast an incantation seal and the azure streak of light sped off into the distance.

After flying for a day and a night, Han Li finally stopped and landed in an unremarkable ravine.

With such a long distance between them, it was impossible for the Moulan Divine Sage to chase after them no matter how unwilling he was.

Han Li glanced at his surroundings.

This place happened to be between two desolate mountains. Not only was the spiritual Qi barely visible, but the surroundings were also completely barren. There were only some round mountain rocks piled up everywhere in the ravine.

Han Li used his spiritual sense to carefully scan everything within a fifty kilometer radius, but he didn’t find any cultivators or spell warriors.

This made him feel even more at ease. With a wave of his sleeve, he released Silvermoon and gave her a command.

Silvermoon wordlessly turned around, and yellow light suddenly erupted from her body, enveloping Han Li within.

In a flash of light, Han Li was brought into a nearby mountain wall.

There was no one in the ravine.

When Han Li was brought to the center of the mountain by Silvermoon’s earth movement technique, azure sword Qi densely spouted out, quickly cleaving open a simple stone room that was several tens of feet in size.

In a flash, Han Li entered it and sat down cross-legged.

Not long after, Han Li closed his eyes and azure light swirled around his body. There were over ten medicine bottles of various sizes in front of him.

He had to first refine the medicinal pills that he had consumed during the crisis before he dared to consume other medicinal pills.

As such, Han Li was quietly recuperating in seclusion within the mountain.

However, what Han Li didn’t anticipate was that the loss of vitality far exceeded his original expectations, and the time he spent recuperating was naturally even longer.

Time passed by slowly as he consumed medicine and meditated.

Unknowingly, half a year had passed.

Han Li was still in seclusion within the mountain.

However, at this moment, the outside world was even more chaotic and unpredictable.

A life and death battle between cultivators and spell warriors was about to erupt.

What was even more unexpected was that the Drifting Cloud Sect’s Elder Han was already renowned throughout both the Heavenly South cultivation world and the spell warrior army.

Any high-grade cultivator or spell warrior would immediately associate his name with the abilities and strength of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, not daring to underestimate him in the slightest.

All of this had only happened in the past six months.
