A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality - Chapter 1148 - Chapter 1148: Volume 7: Dominating the Human World, Chapter 1144: Reencounter with the Profound Yin Devil Qi

Chapter 1148: Volume 7: Dominating the Human World, Chapter 1144: Reencounter with the Profound Yin Devil Qi

The Yin Sha Blood Corpses were a type of Yin Yang Devil Corpses recorded in the Corpse Refining Technique that Han Li obtained from Qian the devil. Although the actual refining formula was not included, it was mentioned that despite their immense power, the process of refining these corpses was excessively malevolent. It was said that the corpses used for refining must share the same bloodline as the refiner, as this was the only way to use the power of kinship to suppress the backlash from the Blood Corpses.

During the refinement process, the soul of the corpse’s owner would be trapped within the body forever, unable to reincarnate.

Although cultivators generally do not hold kinship as dearly as ordinary mortals do, such tainted and cold-blooded acts still were not committed by many. Strangely enough, even those ruthless cultivators who did refine such Blood Corpses met with extremely miserable fates, with none able to live out their natural lifespan.

As a result, even though there were evil cultivators who coveted the power of the Blood Corpses, very few dared to actually refine them. Up to this day, the number of cultivators who knew how to refine them was exceedingly scarce. Even great cultivators like Qian the devil, who practiced with the Five Son’ Synchronisation Demon, were not very clear on the specific refining incantations.

As soon as Han Li recognized the two Yin Sha Blood Corpses of the white-haired cultivator, he could hardly hide his surprise.

However, no matter the origin or cruelty of this white-haired cultivator, as long as he did not obstruct Han Li, Han Li naturally could not be bothered to pay him any mind. Immediately, he remained silent and floated in the air for a while before his figure flickered several times, heading straight towards the upper half of Heavenrock Mountain.

Although he had used the Soul Searching Technique on the Swift Crane pair, these two were only aware that Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin resided on Heavenrock Mountain, but did not know the exact abode, which would take some effort to locate.

He easily subdued a Foundation Establishment Stage guard on the mountain, forcefully searched the man’s soul, and obtained the information he wanted.

Learning that Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin had not gone out and was currently at his residence, Han Li was overjoyed. He turned the guard into a pile of ashes and headed straight for the mountaintop.

The top of Heavenrock Mountain was very spacious, but there were not many buildings. Besides some solitary grand halls and pavilions, the area was empty and desolate.

This was not surprising, as although there were not a few high-level cultivators on the island, there were almost no low-level cultivators below Foundation Establishment Stage. Therefore, the total number of cultivators in the Starfall Coalition on the island was merely five or six hundred. Such a number of cultivators above Foundation Establishment Stage already constituted a tremendously powerful force.

Not to mention, there were several Nascent Soul cultivators sitting in place here as well.

Han Li concealed his figure and without any hesitation or noise, he approached a huge pavilion nearby.

This pavilion was quite imposing, standing five levels tall with each level increasingly wider from top to bottom. The bottom layer alone spanned several hundred feet in area, resembling a conical stone pagoda. However, the building was constructed of a kind of pitch-black strange stone, emanating a dark grey ghostly aura, giving it an eerie and gloomy feeling.

After glancing twice at the building nearly engulfed by the dark grey ghostly aura, Han Li chuckled coldly. Suddenly, with a single slash towards the void in front of him, a violet flame transformed into a huge blade that cleaved downward. As it passed by, the ghostly aura churned and opened up a pathway on its own.

Without hesitation, Han Li twisted his body and transformed into a green rainbow, shooting into the passage.

“Who’s there?”

As Han Li’s figure darted into the pavilion’s main entrance, an astonished voice sounded, and a streak of dark light flew head-on towards him. Within it, the vague figure of a middle-aged cultivator was discernible.

Seeing that the person was not Zenith Yin, Han Li did not bother to pay any attention. With a flick of his sleeve, a sword light about a foot long shot out and disappeared midway.

The cultivator in the dark light was shocked and opened his mouth in an attempt to expel some Daoist paper talisman, but it was already too late. A flash of golden light appeared, and the sword light reappeared above his head, striking down like lightning.

A scream rang out, and the cultivator was chopped into seven or eight pieces in an instant, his Primordial Spirit shattered by the golden light without a chance to escape.

Only then did Han Li glance at the remnants without a trace of expression on his face!

Apparently, this was a Core Formation cultivator, probably a disciple of Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin judging from his Cultivation Technique.

With a flick of his finger, a fireball flew out, and with a “puff,” the scorching heat dispersed, reducing the remains to nothing in the flames.

Han Li turned his head and gazed towards the staircase, his eyes flickering.

It seemed that he hadn’t alarmed Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin, which was somewhat unexpected.

Immediately, he released his Divine Sense to scan the upper floors of the pavilion.

A moment later, his face showed a trace of oddity.

The upper floors of the pavilion were completely empty, without a single person in sight. It seemed as if the vast pavilion was only manned by that Core Formation cultivator.

Could it be that Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin had left the pavilion before him, not staying in his residence?

Han Li felt somewhat frustrated in his heart.

He touched his chin, showing a contemplative look, then suddenly, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and his spiritual sense swept towards the ground below.

In an instant, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a slight smile.

Without a word, he reached to his waist and pulled out a red and yellow Jade Ruyi. A gentle wave conjured a yellow protective screen around him, and then his figure twisted strangely, burrowing into the ground. The ground floor hall of the pavilion suddenly emptied.

Under the Earth Escape Skill, Han Li burrowed down several dozen feet before coming upon a layer of murky light screen and pitch-black stone wall.

Han Li did not hesitate, his hand flashed with violet flame, and he sliced across the light screen.

A crackling sound followed, and a not so large gap appeared in the grey light screen.

With a twist of his body, Han Li eerily transformed into a sliver of blue light, slipping through the half-foot-wide gap.

As his feet landed on a clean, tidy stone staircase, he found himself in a downward descending stone passageway, surrounded by slick black stone.

With a cold gaze sweeping around, Han Li narrowed his eyes and released his Divine Sense to explore the passageway below before continuing.

But immediately, his brows twitched, and he let out a light “huh.”

No sooner had his Divine Sense descended a few dozen feet than it was repelled by an invisible force. There were restrictive formations placed below, preventing any probing of Divine Sense.

Han Li was somewhat surprised, and a tinge of curiosity arose in him.

To know that a Divine Sense restraining array is not only incredibly complex and cumbersome, but also costly to deploy. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would not easily set it up. This place should only be a temporary dwelling for Old Devil Zenith Yin, and yet he went to the length of placing such strict restrictions. That is somewhat strange!

With a hint of surprise in his mind, Han Li didn’t pause and directly drifted downward.

The length of this stone staircase far exceeded Han Li’s expectations. He descended several hundred feet without reaching the end, as if it were a bottomless pit.

Han Li furrowed his brows, muttering to himself with some doubts.

But just as he floated down a little further, suddenly, a surge of vigorous Spiritual Energy hit him in the face.

He was greatly surprised, and his steps involuntarily halted for a moment, causing him to stop.

Indeed, it was supremely pure Spiritual Energy, far from comparable to ordinary top-quality Spirit Veins.

After taking a deep breath, Han Li’s expression changed several times, then suddenly, his body flickered and he shot backwards by more than ten feet.

Yet within just a few steps away, the rich Spiritual Energy at the few steps above disappeared completely.

“Indeed, there is some trick to this!” Han Li clicked his tongue twice, his expression returning to normal.

After sweeping his gaze around nearby, he suddenly and without any indication raised his hand and fiercely grabbed toward the stone wall with his fingers.

The cold light flashed at his fingertips, and the black rock seemed to be as soft as tofu, easily penetrated by his fingers, from which he tore off a large chunk.

Behind the black stone wall, was a pale blue stone.

Han Li retracted his hand, lowering his head to gaze at the large chunk of blue stone in his hand.

It looked no different from ordinary blue stones.

Han Li raised his eyebrows and exerted force with his fingers.

The corner of the stone chunk was immediately crushed, and the powdered stone chips “rushed” down.

Almost at the same time, a blue light flashed in Han Li’s eyes as he utilized the Divine Skill of Brightsight Spirit Eyes.

“What is this?” Finally, he noticed something unusual.

Among these blue stone chips, faint silver particles twinkled ceaselessly. Of course, this twinkling could only be seen when Han Li infused his eyes with Spiritual Power.

Although he couldn’t make out what these silver particles are or recognize these strange minerals, Han Li knew that the Spiritual Energy was mostly confined deep within Heavenrock Mountain because of these things. This also explained clearly why the spirit stone mine on this island had not been discovered by ancient experts and sea demon beasts before.

Having found the reason, Han Li didn’t linger on this matter and once again floated down the stone stairway.

According to his estimation, since such pure Spiritual Energy had already appeared, he guessed that Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin must not be too far away.

Indeed, after descending only fifty to sixty feet this time, a ray of white light appeared ahead at a corner, and vague voices of human speech were faintly heard.

Could it be that Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin was not alone?

Han Li’s eyes narrowed slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled.

However, with his current divine abilities, even if the one speaking with Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin inside was the legendary personages like the ones from Starfall Coalition, Wan Sangu, and others, he wouldn’t harbor any apprehension.

Without any courtesy, his figure flickered, and he flashed past the corner.

He saw an entrance to a stone chamber in front of him, with the stone door slightly ajar, revealing a faint white light inside.

Han Li sneered coldly, flicked his fingers at the stone door, and two thick flashes of golden light crossed over, silently shattering the door into four pieces.

Immediately after, his figure flickered, and Han Li directly appeared inside the stone chamber. He swept his glance over and landed on a corner of the chamber.

There was a black-robed cultivator with long slender eyes, hands clasped behind his back, mouth agape, staring at Han Li with a look of utter astonishment on his face!

If not the Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin of yesteryears, then who else could it be?

And in front of Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin, on a stone platform, hovered a mass of black ghostly fire, wrapping around a Nascent Soul with faint golden skin.

Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin was actually torturing this Nascent Soul with ghostly fire, and there seemed to be no second person in the stone chamber.

“Han Li!” After the initial surprise, Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin immediately recognized Han Li, and his face immediately filled with wild joy.

He had been incessantly obsessed with the Heavenvoid Cauldron until now.

Without further thought, Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin flicked his sleeve, and a surge of Black Demonic Qi gushed out from his sleeve. After rolling, it transformed into a huge black python, pouncing directly towards Han Li, not far away.

Seeing this, Han Li sneered with a ‘hehe’ and raised one hand.

A rumbling sound from his entire arm, a layer of thick lightning arcs emerged, flashing with golden light, dazzling and eye-catching!
