The Far West
“This Yin Sifting Sect elder only knows how to cast the curse, but he doesn’t know how to dissolve it. According to the information I obtained from using the Soul Seal Curse, only the Yin Sifting Sect’s Master and the Grand Elder know how to dissolve the Soul Seal Curse. The other elders are the same as the devil cultivators I killed. They only know how to cast the curse, but they can’t dissolve it.” Han Li sat on a wooden chair at the side and smiled bitterly.
“They don’t know how to dissolve curses?” The silver-haired old man frowned and asked in disbelief.
“That’s right! It seems that this technique to dissolve the Soul Seal Curse involves an extremely powerful secret technique of the Yin Sifting Sect. Only the Sect Master and the Grand Elder are qualified to know about it. No one else has the right to cultivate it.” Han Li’s expression darkened, and he had no intention of hiding anything.
The silver-haired old man’s expression grew grave. “If the incantation can’t be broken, then Sister Nangong…”
Han Li’s eyes flickered and he said, “Although I don’t have a direct technique to break the Soul Seal Curse, there are other ways to break it in this world. This devil cultivator is indeed worthy of being an elder of the Yin Sifting Sect. I learned from his spiritual sense that there are several methods to forcefully break the seal with the help of external objects.”
“What is it that can dissolve the Soul Seal Curse? Junior Brother Han, tell me about it.” The old man’s spirit was roused and he asked.
“These are all rare items that are hard to find in this world. Under normal circumstances, I’m afraid they can’t be found at all.” Han Li sighed and casually mentioned two of them. When the silver-haired old man heard this, he was shocked and fell silent.
The old man muttered, “Not to mention our Heavenly South Region, I doubt if they exist in this world.”
“That’s not necessarily true. I happen to know the whereabouts of one of them, but it’s also not easy to obtain. I have to carefully prepare before I have some confidence,” Han Li replied calmly with a twitch of his mouth.
When the old man heard Han Li’s words, he revealed a shocked expression. However, seeing that Han Li did not seem to want to elaborate, he did not ask further. Instead, he said rather sincerely, “Do you need help from me and the sect? Please don’t be polite, Junior Brother!”
“Forget it. This time, it’s not something that can be done with numbers.” Han Li was silent for a while, but he still shook his head and refused.
The silver-haired old man stroked his beard and said, “Since Junior Brother knows what you’re doing, I won’t ask any further. However, just like I said, Junior Brother can use the sect’s strength if you need it.”
“Thank you for your kind intentions, Senior Brother. I will go and check Wan’er again.” Han Li forced a smile and stood up to leave.
After the silver-haired old man sent Han Li out of the hall, he stood at the entrance of the hall and thought for a moment. He sighed softly and turned into a streak of light, flying towards his cave abode.
…
The secret chamber with the ice wall was safe and sound.
Han Li stood quietly in front of the ice wall and looked at the beautiful and innocent girl in the ice with a dazed expression.
This action continued for an unknown amount of time. After a complicated look flashed through Han Li’s eyes, he suddenly muttered to himself in a low voice,
“Wan’er, you’re really bold. You actually used the opportunity of life and death to cultivate the most dangerous technique of the Sunu Reincarnation Technique, the Beautiful Female Heavenly Moon Art. Don’t you know that this is a secret technique that involves grave danger? If I remove your soul seal and yet something happens to your cultivation technique, wouldn’t I be extremely worried?”
Han Li muttered and his voice became softer and softer. In the end, he walked in front of the ice wall and used his finger to touch Nangong Wan’s abnormally childish face through the thick layer of ice.
“I’m afraid you don’t know this, but the devil cultivator who cast the curse on you doesn’t know how to dissolve the curse. However, you don’t have to worry too much. I found another way to awaken you from his spiritual sense. I can use some external objects to dissolve the seal. Although these things are difficult to find in this world, it just so happens that one of them is in Devilfall Valley. The inner core of an ancient fire demon beast is indeed extremely difficult to find under normal circumstances, but there happens to be an ancient Fire Toad in Devilfall Valley. The conditions are just right. It seems that I don’t have to hesitate on this trip to Devilfall Valley in a few years. It’s imperative. Although this method of using external objects only has a 50% chance of dissolving the soul seal, even if it doesn’t succeed, it can greatly reduce the effectiveness of the curse. With additional time, I can make a trip to the State of Jin without worry. No matter what method I use, I’ll definitely get the method to dissolve the curse when the time comes.” Han Li’s voice began to turn cold as he finished speaking.
Facing Nangong Wan, who was in the ice wall, Han Li spat out the depression in his heart. After staying in the secret room for a quarter of an hour, he finally walked out and flew back to his cave abode on the Mother-Child Peak as a streak of azure light.
In the hall of the cave abode, Han Li sat on the main seat and lowered his head slightly, pondering something. Silvermoon obediently stood at the side, her black eyes continuously rolling on Han Li’s face, appearing somewhat mischievous.
“What are you looking at? Could it be that my face has blossomed?” Han Li said indifferently without even raising his head.
Silvermoon pursed her lips into a smile and hesitantly said, “Master must be joking. I’m only thinking about what you plan to do in the future. It’s a neither long nor short time until we enter Devilfall Valley. Furthermore, Violet Spirit and Marquis Nanlong have both extended an invitation to you. Are you planning on joining forces with them? Furthermore, Master, have you truly thought this through? Devilfall Valley is known as the most dangerous place in the Heavenly South Region. Although Master’s abilities are not small, it will still be extremely dangerous to enter. Even if you wish to save Miss Nangong, you can find other methods to do so. Going to Devilfall Valley is truly too risky.”
Han Li shook his head and calmly said, “The other items? Are you talking about the eggshell of the Myriad Year Profound Gold Bird or the fruit of the Bodhi Flower? These items are most likely extinct in this world. Even if they exist, they are hidden in a remote corner and I have no way of finding them. Only the demon core of the Ancient Fire Toad is the easiest to obtain. As long as I follow Master Cang Kun’s map and don’t be greedy and rashly barge around, I won’t get killed. As for which side to join hands with, that will have to wait.”
Silvermoon lowered her head and honestly said, “Since Master has already decided to go, I naturally have nothing else to say.”
When Han Li saw this, he smiled and stroked his chin before opening his mouth.
“Before entering Devilfall Valley, I plan on making a trip to the far west to acquire the last two layers of the Great Development Technique. At the same time, I’ll go to the Thousand Bamboo School to see if I can find any high-grade mechanical puppet refinement techniques. Last time, I obtained several ancient puppet refinement techniques that are comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators. Among them, there are a few unknown materials that can be found from puppet fragments, but there are also a few supplementary materials that are too rare to be gathered in a short amount of time. Furthermore, the main material, ten thousand year old ironwood, requires a large amount of green liquid to mature. It will not be able to be refined before I enter Devilfall Valley. The materials used to refine Core Formation puppets are also very strange, and it is likely that there will be no place to find them in the current cultivation world. Furthermore, the Thousand Bamboo School started off with puppet refinement techniques, so they should have two or three Core Formation puppet refinement techniques. It would be more practical to go there and find the method to refine Core Formation puppets. If I have a large number of Core Formation puppets to assist me, my strength will be able to increase before I enter Devilfall Valley. Otherwise, relying on cultivation techniques and nurturing magic treasures will not have any effect in a mere few years.”
As Han Li said this, his eyes flashed with confidence.
Silvermoon thought for a moment before replying with a charming smile, “Master’s words are not unreasonable. We’ll do as you say.”
“However, although the Far West is close to our Heavenly South Region, it’s actually still a little troublesome to get there. Not only do we have to pass through the countries of the Righteous Dao Alliance, but we also have to pass through a huge desert that stretches for countless kilometers to get there.” Han Li suddenly thought of something and frowned as he slowly said.
“Desert?” Silvermoon was stunned, and her small mouth was slightly open in shock.
“That’s right. Furthermore, this desert is rather strange. For some unknown reason, there are extremely violent hurricanes blowing over the entire desert over the years. If we cultivators want to cross this desert, we can only do so on foot. Otherwise, our magic power will be exhausted before we can even fly out of the desert. As a result, although the various sects in the Heavenly South know of the existence of the Far West, they all feel that it isn’t very large. It’s only the size of two medium-sized countries in the Heavenly South. Secondly, resources are relatively scarce. In addition, the Heavenly South is separated from the area by this desert, so it’s really inconvenient for us to travel. As a result, the Righteous and Devil Dao and other sects have never set their sights on this place. The entire Far West has always been occupied by the Thousand Bamboo School,” Han Li explained.
“Since we cannot fly across the desert, doesn’t that mean we’ll have to travel for a long time?” Silvermoon furrowed her brows in worry.
“It will take a long time. Even if everything goes smoothly, I estimate that it will take about a year. Therefore, before I leave for the Far West, I still have some matters to deal with before I can leave in peace. During this period of time, Silvermoon, help me out. I’ll leave this to you first. Use the green liquid to infuse it for a period of time every day to see if it shows any signs of revival.” As Han Li spoke, he took out a jade box from his storage bag and handed it to Silvermoon.
“Profound Heaven Immortal Vine! Master, are you really going to let me handle it?” Silvermoon asked in surprise after recognizing the item in the jade box.
Han Li glanced at Silvermoon with a faint smile and leisurely said, “Hehe, if this thing can’t be saved, it will only be a refinement material. There is nothing special about it. I will take this opportunity to deal with the Wood Spirit Nascent and plant the second Nascent Soul. Then, I will deal with the Cadaver Demon. I obtained a technique to refine a devil corpse from the storage pouch of the Yin Sifting Sect elder. I can make full use of it. After all, the Cadaver Demon has always been trapped in the heart of the Dreamcloud Mountain. It will always be a calamity. With so many things to do, I have no time to spare. I will naturally leave everything in the cave abode to you.”
Silvermoon pursed her lips and accepted the jade box before helplessly replying, “Alright. Who asked you to be the master? I’ll do as you say.”
Han Li smiled and said a few more words to Silvermoon. Just as he was about to walk out of the hall, Silvermoon hesitated for a moment and suddenly called out to Han Li.
Silvermoon blinked her bright eyes and seriously asked, “Master, there is something that has been on my mind for a long time. Can I ask you?”
