Greatnorth Essence Light
When they saw Han Li take out the Heaven-Earth Ring, Marquis Nanlong and Lu Weiying immediately retreated three meters behind Han Li with grave expressions, indicating that Han Li was their leader. Han Li held the ring in his hand and opened his mouth, spitting out a ball of azure essence onto the ring.
With a flash of black light, all the azure essence was completely absorbed by the ring. Then, with a whoosh, it flew above Han Li’s head and floated motionlessly.
Han Li expressionlessly raised his hand and struck it with a spell seal.
The Heaven-Earth Ring trembled slightly before shrinking and expanding. In the blink of an eye, the ring had transformed into a huge ring with a diameter of 50 to 60 feet.
“Go.”
Han Li stretched out a fair finger, pointed at the ring, and said softly.
The ring let out a strange cry and shot forth.
Marquis Nanlong and Lu Weiying wore grave expressions.
As soon as the huge ring entered the countless threads of light, an incredible scene unfolded.
The straight threads of light were like disturbed water. In the instant that the huge ring entered, they became chaotic. As the black light flickered, the silver threads made a miraculous turn as soon as they came into contact with the outer wall of the ring, avoiding the ring as if they were sentient!
Han Li heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Marquis Nanlong and Lu Weiying also smiled.
However, Han Li was still a little curious about the power of the Greatnorth Essence Light.
After some thought, he slapped his storage pouch and took out a fist-sized blue bead.
This was a high-grade defensive spirit tool that he had obtained many years ago.
Han Li held the bead in his hand and injected some spiritual power into it.
A layer of blue light immediately appeared on the surface of the bead.
Han Li flicked his hand, and the bead turned into a ball of blue light, shooting out.
This time, as soon as the blue bead of light entered the Greatnorth Essence Light, the silver threads immediately swarmed around it as if they had seen delicious prey.
Threads as thin as hair pierced through the blue bead as if it were nothing.
A short moment later, the bead that had been pierced by the silver threads wildly flashed several times before exploding from within, transforming into a ball of brilliant light that disappeared among the threads of light.
Han Li’s pupils contracted slightly, and Marquis Nanlong and the old man’s expressions also sank.
Han Li’s expression instantly returned to normal. He stretched out his hand, and the huge ring flew back above his head, silently landing and enveloping the three of them.
Then, a black light barrier appeared outside the ring, protecting Han Li and the others.
“Let’s go!” Han Li did not say anything else. After saying this briefly, he walked forward, and the Heaven-Earth Ring moved with him.
Marquis Nanlong and Lu Weiying didn’t dare to be careless and obediently followed after Han Li. Although Han Li had seen the ring’s miraculous defensive abilities against the Greatnorth Essence Light, he didn’t dare to activate any of his defenses or use any magic treasures in the Greatnorth Essence Light. Although Han Li appeared calm, he was somewhat worried.
However, in the next instant, he was surrounded by the Greatnorth Essence Light. When he saw that the threads of light had bypassed the black light barrier and didn’t dare to approach him, he quietly lowered his hand. Soon after, his heart stirred and he turned his head to the side. Marquis Nanlong and Lu Weiying also relaxed.
Han Li smiled and activated the Heaven-Earth Ring, slowly moving forward.
…
Elsewhere in Devilfall Valley, a group of black-robed Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators were fighting against a huge gecko-like ancient beast.
Not far away from the gecko, the pale-faced Old Man Zhong was floating in mid-air, coldly watching the ancient beast and the Core Formation cultivators who were fighting in full swing.
After a while, seeing that the six or seven disciples were still unable to capture the ancient beast, he frowned and decided to personally take action.
He formed an incantation gesture with his hands, and countless jet-black energy emerged from his body. In the blink of an eye, the Yin Qi condensed and transformed into two jet-black wyrms, pouncing toward the lizard-like ancient beast in an overbearing manner. Soon after, a huge net of shimmering green light enveloped the ancient beast, and countless fist-sized green fireballs shot out from within the net.
A series of rumbling booms erupted as black and green flames intertwined. A short moment later, the light receded to reveal a massive beast with a charred body.
The old man waved his sleeve and a gust of wind swept the ancient beast’s corpse over 30 meters away.
A wide crevice of ice appeared on the spot. The crevice continued downwards, faintly emitting white light that led to an unknown location.
“Go.”
The old man spoke in a low voice and his body blurred, immediately transforming into a streak of black light. The other Ghost Spirit Sect disciples followed suit without any hesitation.
Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan were among this group of disciples, but the Ghost Spirit Sect’s Master and Wang Tiangu were still nowhere to be seen.
Not long after the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators entered the ice rift, the place returned to calm. Only snowflakes silently fell.
Soon, the ancient beast’s corpse was covered in a layer of frost and snow, turning it into an unremarkable snow mound.
In the dense forest that the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators had previously visited, Violet Spirit was standing at a certain spot. She looked at the seemingly ordinary small mound in front of her in a daze.
After the time it took to finish a cup of tea, she raised her head to look at the huge trees around her before lowering her head to look at the mound in front of her. Suddenly, she flicked her finger and a white ball of light shot forth.
With a muffled thump, a three-meter-wide pit appeared in front of him.
There was a large amount of greyish-black ash mixed in the pit, dancing in the air. A small section of a charred tree root had appeared in the pit.
“It should be here. The Ghost Spirit Sect has the advantage in numbers, so it’s much easier for them to find the target than I do. However, they didn’t expect that there would be someone else searching for the marks as well. They actually revealed so many tracks in such a hurry,” Violet Spirit murmured with a delighted expression.
Soon after, she waved her sleeve and buried the pit again. She then took out an azure talisman and circled around a few nearby trees before placing the talisman on one of them.
In a flash of azure light, the talisman disappeared into the surface of the tree.
Afterwards, she carefully identified the direction and flew off in a streak of light.
…
At the entrance of a huge valley, an old Daoist looked at the various restrictions with a pensive expression.
Behind him, there were two ghostly puppets standing motionlessly.
From the other end of the canyon, one could faintly see a large expanse of crimson light flashing. This was one of the passageways leading to the inner valley. However, this short section of the canyon was filled with several extremely powerful ancient restrictions.
Although the old Daoist was proficient in formation spells, there was only a fifty-fifty chance that he would be able to dissolve these restrictions in a short amount of time.
He didn’t know if he should spend some time looking for an easier route or if he should immediately attempt to dissolve the restrictions. As a result, he hesitated for a moment.
A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind the old Daoist, “What? Fellow Daoist Heavencrystal doesn’t feel confident in breaking the restrictions by himself? How about joining hands with me?”
He was none other than Daoist Heavencrystal, who had traded soul stones with Han Li the other day. The evil ghost puppets behind him were also two ancient puppets that he had refined using soul stones. Each of them had the strength of an early-Nascent Soul cultivator. Even Daoist Heavencrystal would find it difficult to deal with either of them. With such trump cards in hand, he was bold enough to come to Devilfall Valley to search for treasures.
At that moment, he heard a voice behind him and immediately turned around in alarm.
About 600 feet behind him, several green-robed cultivators were silently looking in his direction. The one who spoke was a green-robed old man with a gloomy expression and a long beard.
Daoist Heavencrystal appraised their cultivation bases and felt his heart drop.
These people were all Nascent Soul cultivators!
Daoist Heavencrystal forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart and forced a smile, “So it was Fellow Daoist Dong from the Controlling Spirit Sect. These Fellow Daoists appear unfamiliar. Could it be that they are also elders of your sect?”
Dong Mentu’s gaze swept past the two malevolent ghost puppets before he said, “You can say that. However, the two puppets behind you don’t seem to be ordinary. It seems that they aren’t to be underestimated.”
Daoist Heavencrystal cautiously said, “Fellow Daoist must be joking. How could two small puppets be of any importance to Fellow Daoist Dong? However, why would Fellow Daoist wish to join hands with me?”
Dong Mentu stared at the old Daoist and slowly said, “Although I’ve lived in the Controlling Spirit Sect for a long time and don’t interact much with others, I’ve heard of Fellow Daoist Heavencrystal’s reputation as a formation master. I’m also quite knowledgeable in formations. If the two of us were to break the formations alone, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have much confidence. If we joined forces, we’d naturally be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.”
When Heaven Crystal heard this, he frowned and fell silent. He began to hesitate.
Dong Mentu’s expression sank and he patiently said, “What? Fellow Daoist Heavencrystal is afraid that I will harm you? How about this? My cooperation with Fellow Daoist will only be limited to the time we break the restrictions and enter the valley together. If there is no conflict of interest, I won’t make things difficult for you for no reason. Furthermore, don’t forget that even if you can break the restrictions on your own, if the time is too long, the treasures that are the easiest to obtain will belong to others. As far as I know, many of our fellow Daoists are well versed in formation spells.”
When Daoist Heavencrystal heard this, his heart stirred and he raised his head to look at the five green-robed cultivators behind him. He finally nodded and said, “Since Fellow Daoist Dong has said so, I will respectfully accept your request. Let’s join hands and break through the restrictions here. But after we enter the valley, we will go our separate ways and won’t have to walk together.”
“Haha! That’s right. Fellow Daoist Heavencrystal, don’t worry. Your two puppets are no small matter. How could I force you to do something you don’t wish to do? After we enter the valley, we will rely on our luck to search for treasures separately!” When the green-robed old man heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face and he hastily guaranteed.
