Chapter 351: Chapter 206: Returning to Xuandan Sect, Zhuge’s Worries

Translator: 549690339

Doubt was hidden deep in Han Yi’s eyes.

“There’s no anomaly, not a single one.”

“However, that scene absolutely happened in reality. The black bead turned into a half-black, half-white eyeball for just a moment, before changing back into a black bead.”

Han Yi’s thoughts stirred, suddenly thinking of a few possibilities.

The first one was that the black bead might have been sealed by some kind of restriction, and the Spiritual Talisman activated by the Black Divine Tower assassin targeting Divine Soul broke a small part of the seal on the black bead, but it was resealed again.

The second one was that the black bead was not sealed, but rather required Divine Soul power to reach a certain level in order to activate. The attack of the Spiritual Talisman was essentially a burst of Divine Soul power, absorbed by the black bead, reaching the activation threshold, but just fell short of it.

However.

No matter which guess it was, it showed that significant changes would happen to the black bead in the near future.

From these encounters, Han Yi guessed that the changes might be beneficial to him.

But nothing was absolute, so he dared not gamble, thus, if he could remove the black bead from his Sea of Consciousness, he would be more than happy, but unfortunately, he contacted it with the power of the Soul Sword just now, only to be dispersed by the vibration, making no gain.

Having no way to deal with the black bead, Han Yi returned his mind to his Spirit Sea and flesh body. After examining it thoroughly, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

Then.

Han Yi reviewed the battle this time.

It was very dangerous, too dangerous.

As soon as Han Yi saw that familiar short sword, he heightened his vigilance twelvefold, sealing his body’s pores and holding his breath, briefly isolating himself from the outside world.

It was because of the Hellbreak Powder poison last time, which left an extremely deep impression on him, even creating a bit of a shadow for him.

To be prepared for any eventuality, Han Yi isolated himself from the gas exchange between him and the outside world. When he used the Spiritual Talisman to vibrate the Array and saw the jade bottle in the cultivator’s hands, he felt relieved.

That jade bottle might have contained another kind of poison, and he was glad that he held his breath.

The specialty of the Black Divine Tower was to kill people with poison. He had made some preparations, and this time, he avoided being poisoned. However, he still carefully examined his body just now to ensure he was unharmed.

But afterwards, after holding his breath and confirming the method to break the Array, he went all out.

This time, he could say that he had used all his means.

The Tri-Spirit Falling Immortal Talisman, the Six-Spirit Falling Immortal Talisman, the Seven-Star Kunwu Sword, the Demonic Dagger, the other three Sword Tools, and the Wind and Fire Shield-

In addition to his decisiveness and the help of the black bead, he narrowly managed to win and slay a Golden Core cultivator.

The assassin from the Black Divine Tower definitely had more than one Spiritual Talisman. If he had used a Mid-quality Third-stage Spiritual Talisman like the Six-Spirit Falling Immortal Talisman or even a higher-grade Spiritual Talisman, Han Yi’s Wind and Fire Shield would probably not have held, and even if his body didn’t die, half of his life would be taken away.

This battle was a close victory with no visible damage on Han Yi, but the danger involved was known only to him.

Whether it was the cautiousness of the opponent, trying too many tests, or the last Spiritual Talisman targeting the Divine Soul and attacking the black bead before being directly absorbed, such coincidences or timing decisions determined the outcome of the battle.

Han Yi won by luck, and of course, he knew.

“There are no absolute guarantees when walking along the river. It’s not advisable to fight across stages. One should try to avoid it.”

“At present, the main task is to break through to the Golden Core.”

“It is only after breaking through to the Golden Core that a new world will be opened up.”

In the Cultivation World, Gold Core cultivators were considered powerful beings. After all, the advancement to the Golden Core Stage increased life span by an extra four Jiazi, allowing one to live up to 500 years if there were no disasters or diseases.

With 500 years of time, one could establish Sects, create large family clans, travel across Immortal Countries, and explore the four corners of the world.

Many of the classics inside Xuandan Sect came from the experiences of other Immortal Countries and places by various Supreme Elders throughout the generations.

This also meant that when one reached the Golden Core Stage, the safety of traveling in the Cultivation World would be greatly increased.

As the basic introductions of Golden Core Stage cultivators emerged in his mind, Han Yi shook his head, knowing that the step of forming the core was a trap for many cultivators, and he must not take it lightly.

Han Yi waved his hand.

Three items appeared in front of him.

A Qiankun Ring, a pitch-black short sword, and a set of formation discs.

He first looked at the formation discs.

This set of formations had the effect of trapping enemies and could also create illusions and clones. It was perfect for both offense and defense. According to Han Yi’s estimation, it should be between Third-stage low-quality and mid-quality.

However, there were faint cracks on all nine formation discs, which had obviously been damaged in the previous battle. But for him, this was just perfect, as he lacked defensive formations, and these discs could be used.

After putting away the discs, he looked at the short sword.

The short sword was pitch-black, and the tip of the sword was even blacker, as if coated with a kind of poison. Last time, Han Yi’s forehead was slashed by that sword, and he was poisoned with Hellbreak Powder. It took him several years to cleanse the remaining poison, leaving him extremely apprehensive.

He also couldn’t confirm whether the poison on the short sword this time was still Hellbreak Powder or an even more terrifying poison.

Han Yi carefully put the short sword away.

Although the sword was only a low-grade treasure, combined with the poison on it, it posed a lethal threat to Golden Core cultivators. The assassin from the Black Divine Tower he killed was in the Middle Golden Core Stage, so Han Yi deduced that the poison on the sword could play an important role even in the Late-stage Golden Core..
