A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality - Chapter 1151 - Chapter 1151: Volume 7: Across the Human World Chapter 1147: Chaos Arises

Chapter 1151: Volume 7: Across the Human World Chapter 1147: Chaos Arises

Han Li chuckled mischievously, and without another word, he gave the jade slip a flick, sweeping his spiritual sense inside it.

But after just glancing through a few sentences, Han Li’s expression greatly changed. First, he was visibly shocked, then an incredulous look spread across his face, and finally, it turned into one of delight.

Man Huzi’s Nascent Soul looked puzzlingly at this scene.

However, considering he hadn’t tampered with the Oracular Formula, he didn’t have anything to worry about.

After quite a while, Han Li finished reading the jade slip at a much slower speed than Man Huzi had anticipated. Withdrawing his spiritual sense, his face was fluctuating between light and dark.

“Wan Tianming, where did you learn this Heavenbearing Devil Arts, and does it have any history?” Han Li asked slowly.

“History? This magic technique is quite famous in Scattered Stars Sea, and it has been circled around for a long time. Its fame is hardly less than that of The Devils of Six Apexes. It has always been passed down within a single lineage, and I only managed to learn it after I met my Master. What’s wrong, is there something amiss with this technique?” the Nascent Soul asked, puzzled.

“Nothing!” Han Li’s eyes flashed as he shook his head, then with a flip of his palm, the jade slip was nowhere to be seen.

“If Fellow Daoist Han is too busy to cultivate this technique, you could casually pass it to a disciple, as long as the legacy of the Heavenbearing Devil Arts doesn’t break, that will suffice.” Man Huzi had seen Han Li’s previous reactions and didn’t believe these words, but just spoke indifferently, without any hint of wanting to pursue the matter.

For him, swallowing the Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin’s Nascent Soul was the top priority, so he quickly continued:

“Now that Fellow Daoist has finished reading the technique, I wonder if Wan Tianming may proceed?”

As he said this, the Nascent Soul’s eyes flashed red, and a layer of Evil Qi suddenly emerged on his face.

“Of course, you may. However, Wan Tianming, you seem a bit weak now. Do you want Han Li to lend you a helping hand?” Han Li glanced at the ice-bound Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin and asked with a smile.

“Thank you for the kind offer, but there’s no need. Although my mana is not even one-tenth of what it was, it’s more than enough to deal with an immobilized cultivator,” Man Huzi shook his head with unparalleled confidence.

“Then it’s up to you. I will be waiting outside,” Han Li said with a slight smile, without further ado. His figure flickered, and he walked towards the entrance, slowly exiting the stone chamber.

Suddenly, only Man Huzi’s Nascent Soul and the ice-bound Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin were left inside.

The Nascent Soul fixed its gaze on Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin, its expression becoming sinister, while Zenith Yin, unable to move a bit, showed a look of extreme fear in his eyes….

Han Li stood in the corridor outside the stone chamber, idly fiddling with the jade slip in his hand, lost in thought.

The stone chamber remained eerily silent, with not a single sound coming from it. After a full quarter of an hour passed, a somewhat weary voice finally came through.

“Fellow Daoist Han, you may come in now.” It was the voice of Man Huzi, albeit slightly hoarse.

Han Li raised his eyebrow, then clapped his hands and the jade slip once again disappeared without a trace.

He then turned around and walked back into the stone chamber.

Inside, the giant blue ice still stood intact, but the Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin inside it was eyeing like a dead fish with no sign of breath left.

The Nascent Soul hovered above the blue ice, its body slightly larger than before by half, and was full of vitality, not as weak as before. However, the small face was filled with unmistakable fatigue.

“I owe you my thanks this time, Han Li. For now, I have temporarily regained most of my vital energy and I must seize this opportunity to consolidate it right away, or all will be wasted. The location of my secret cave dwellings is in…” Upon seeing Han Li, the Nascent Soul immediately began speaking, but by the end, its voice lowered, transmitting the message directly.

Han Li listened closely for a few sentences, then nodded without changing his expression.

“Alright, Wan Tianming has avenged his great revenge, and will consolidate here. Fellow Daoist Han, please do as you wish.” The Nascent Soul exhaled a long breath and spoke with calm demeanor. Then its form flickered and darted to a corner of the stone chamber where it sat down cross-legged.

Bright golden light emanated from the Nascent Soul, and its aura began to tumble, intermittently growing strong and weak.

Han Li smiled slightly, paying no heed to the consolidating actions of Man Huzi. Instead, he brought his hands together, then flung them outward.

With the rumblings of thunder, several thick golden lightning bolts ejected and struck upon the giant ice, where they exploded into gold light.

Suddenly the blocks of ice shattered to pieces under countless tiny lightning bolts, turning the Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin’s body inside to fragments as well.

Han Li glanced over, ensuring that there were indeed no disseminated souls or a second Nascent Soul and then nodded in satisfaction before turning away.

At this moment, spiritual light circulated on the surface of Nascent Soul, revealing some cracks. From these cracks, golden light gleamed as if golden liquid was about to flow out.

Han Li narrowed his eyes and watched Man Huzi’s Nascent Soul intently, silent.

With a soft “pop” sound, the entire Nascent Soul disintegrated into gold specks, dissolving into the void.

Witnessing the Nascent Soul of Man Huzi transforming into ashes, Han Li let out a soft sigh and flicked his fingers toward the ground where the remnants of the body lay.

A fireball shot out, enveloping everything on the ground in its blazing light.

Han Li didn’t even glance at the firelight. He turned into a streak of green light, circling in the stone chamber before shooting out of the entrance.

In the blink of an eye, the streak of light flashed in the passageway and then disappeared without a trace.

Since Han Li no longer held any reservations as he left, he went all out with his speed; it only took him a moment to reach the other end.

A stone wall shimmered with spiritual light barred his way.

Han Li didn’t hesitate. Raising his hand, golden light flickered from his fingertips. He was about to release his Sword Qi to slice open the stone door.

However, at that moment, a sudden rumble akin to a shakes of the earth arose, and the entire passage trembled violently, the echoes roaring incessantly.

Han Li was startled and somewhat surprised, but his movements didn’t stop for a moment. With a few slashes of golden Sword Qi, the stone door shattered into pieces.

His figure flickered, and he appeared outside the stone door.

He was now on the first floor of a pavilion and the stone door was just a secret door in a corner of the pavilion.

But as soon as he came out of the passage, the booming and shaking sounds amplified several times over, and from outside the pavilion door, the sound of frenzied laughter and angry shouts could be heard. There were also constant whistling and exploding noises, as if Heavenrock Mountain had become a battleground, and someone was spell-battling outside.

Han Li’s brow furrowed, but then a red light flew in from outside the pavilion. The person inside had not seen clearly who the intruder was before shouting out loud.

“It’s terrible. The demon beasts of Iron Stone Peak have suddenly… Eh! Who are you? Where is Elder Wu?” When the cultivator saw the person standing in the hall was not the Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin he expected, he was startled and blurted out in shock.

But Han Li sneered coldly, opened his mouth, and a golden light flashed and disappeared, followed immediately by a scream from the opposite side.

The cultivator in the red light was beheaded by the Sword Qi, which mysteriously appeared beside him, and his body fell into two parts along with two broken red swords.

This Core Formation cultivator from the Starfall Coalition was quite unfortunate. Without even having a clear look at Han Li’s face, he confusedly lost his life.

However, from the little that the other said, Han Li could make sense of something; it seemed that the demon beasts in the sea had launched a surprise attack on the Starfall Coalition.

Despite some doubts in his mind, Han Li had no intention to get involved in this matter. He immediately performed a hand seal, concealing his aura, and then his body flickered, rendering his whereabouts invisible. Only then did he drift nonchalantly towards the outside of the pavilion.

But before he could reach the pavilion’s entrance, a thunderous roar rolled in from the sky:

“Fellow Daoist Tang, this time our sea races have dispatched so many demon-transformed members. Your Starfall Coalition cannot possibly resist. If you are sensible, immediately hand over that peak ninth layer Superior Spirit Stone. Our sea race might still spare you a path to life.”

The speaker’s voice was thunderous and powerful, and the Starfall Coalition cultivators on lower floors of the pavilion who heard these words were instantly weakened, their spiritual power becoming stagnant within their bodies.

Han Li’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing the words “Superior Spirit Stone,” and almost without thought, he shot out from the pavilion’s entrance.

Looking up into the high skies.

The outside was chaotic, full of flashing spiritual light and unceasing explosions, with dozens of cultivators and strangely shaped demon beasts engaged in a fierce battle. In the high skies, a pale blue mist almost obscured the entire sky.

Underneath the clouds, several battle groups were locked in a prolonged struggle. One of the fighters, a lean old man in a dark blue robe, held a green mirror in one hand, releasing countless dazzling green lights, and wielded a Blue Flying Sword in the other hand as if it were a flood dragon emerging from the sea.

His opponent was an extremely hefty ascetic, unusually tall, with golden rings on both arms, and a round alm bowl in hand, exhaling puffs of blue mist, successfully blocking the lean old man’s attacks. The thunderous roaring came from the mouth of this ascetic.

On closer inspection, Han Li noticed several shining scales at the ascetic’s neck.

In other places, a man and a woman were teaming up against a scholar with a pair of short horns on his forehead, while a grey-robed old man used a gourd to release bursts of Yin wind, holding his ground against another figure shrouded in red flames. Somewhat farther away, a large mass of blood-red mist churned erratically, featuring intermittent roars and explosions, as if someone was enjoying a fierce battle inside.

It seemed impossible to tell who would win for the moment. It appeared the Starfall Coalition had done the right thing by calling back their Nascent Soul cultivators from the other islands ahead of time.

Otherwise, the usual defenses on Heavenrock Mountain would have been breached long ago.

“What Superior Spirit Stone? Could it be that I heard wrongly? I don’t possess any Superior Spirit Stone,” the lean old man said unaffectedly, while powering up his magic tools even more, but he spoke evenly.

“At this point, Brother Tang, to persist in such self-deception, isn’t it laughable?” the fat man laughed heartily, spewing out puffs of blue mist from his mouth, his face showing disdain.

“It seems that Fellow Daoist has only heard rumors. How could such a Superior Spirit Stone still exist in the human world? But for you to come unprovoked to the summit and slaughter so many of our alliance’s cultivators, I, Tang, will not let this go lightly,” the lean old man replied nonchalantly, but his expression turned colder.
