“Your sect originates from the Great Jin?” This time, Han Li was caught off guard and couldn’t help but freeze.

“Correct.

But that was countless years ago.

It’s been so long that our Sublime Truth Sect has completely lost that part of our heritage, except for a few special ancient cultivation techniques.

Most of our current incantations and traditions have no relation to the Ji Zhen Sect anymore.

Were it not for this incident, I might have never stumbled upon these ancient texts hidden in our sect’s secret grounds, and nobody would have ever known about it,” Master Sunreach said, sighing.

“Fellow Daoist Sunreach, what does the text mention about the Sealing Formation?

Did you find a way to lift this calamity from within?” Han Li asked thoughtfully.

“Although the text discusses the seal with great solemnity and describes it as our lineage’s eternal duty, the related information is quite vague and lacks detail.

Fortunately, it provided enough for us to approximate the structure of the Sealing Formation.

After years of research with some Array Masters, the three of us have finally found a method to repair the Array,” the Taoist Ning said gravely.

“However, this method requires not only a concentration of high-level cultivators but also someone who must delve deep into the Demonic Qi and bury an Array Plate at a specific deep-sea location we designate.

This is why we sought out Fellow Daoist Han.

Only with your Devilbane Lightning for protection can you truly resist the Demonic Qi and prevent Demonization, allowing you to investigate thoroughly,” Wei Wuya explained calmly.

Upon hearing this, Han Li’s brows furrowed slightly.

“Seeing your expressions, it seems you have had this method for a while.

Han Li has only recently returned to the Drifting Cloud Sect.

Before that, I wonder what methods you had planned to use to deliver the Array Plate deep into the Demonic Qi,” Han Li asked, his brows relaxing as he spoke calmly.

Wei Wuya and Master Sunreach, upon hearing this, were startled and exchanged a glance.

“It seems we can’t hide anything from Fellow Daoist Han.

Indeed, we did prepare another method previously.

We planned to call upon several treasures from our alliances that ward off demons and concentrate them on a cultivator who practices anti-evil techniques, allowing them to venture into the Demonic Qi to attempt a trial.

But the Demonic Qi below is extremely potent, and that method only had a forty to fifty percent chance of success-a high possibility of failure.

However, your Devilbane Lightning is different.

Its power against evil is specifically designed to counter Demonic Qi, so with you, it would be far easier,” Master Sunreach said with a smile.

“I see!

That is indeed a good strategy,” Han Li said with a light chuckle.

“It concerns the whole of Tian Luo, and I naturally should agree to this matter without hesitation.

But before agreeing, may I first go see just how fearsome this Boundless Demonic Qi is?

I don’t want to rush into anything uncertain,” Han Li said, his gaze shifting slightly as he spoke.

“Of course, that is only reasonable.

Old Devil Cloud Dew is currently by the vortex, monitoring the changes in the Demonic Qi.

Why not go have a look now?

The sooner we can reseal the Demonic Qi, the sooner we can all rest easy,” Master Sunreach agreed without hesitation.

Wei Wuya also nodded, showing no objection.

Seeing this reaction from the two, Han Li relaxed slightly.

It seemed there were no traps, and likely no issues with this matter.

Thus, the three immediately left Master Sunreach’s cave abode and headed straight for the immense source of Spiritual Energy that Han Li had sensed.

As soon as they left Spiritual Turtle Island, the three transformed into streaks of light, flying westward.

After covering a hundred li or so, they finally saw a white, fuzzy orb emitting flashes of light on the distant sea surface.

Swirls of five-colored light gathered and rotated high in the sky, resembling an upside-down gigantic funnel, its end faintly connected to the orb below, creating a spectacular and extraordinary phenomenon.

When Han Li witnessed this scene, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.

His Divine Sense told him that both the white orb and the five-colored light contained astonishingly pure Spiritual Qi, even more so than that of a top-grade Spirit Vein.

“This is the vortex!” Han Li murmured to himself.

“Correct, this is it.

Old Devil Cloud Dew is meditating on those reefs there.

Let’s join him before proceeding,” Master Sunreach pointed in a certain direction and suddenly said.

Following his direction, Han Li swept his Divine Sense and indeed found a large man in a black robe, sitting cross-legged on a rocky outcrop, about ten li from the orb.

It was Old Devil Cloud Dew!

As Han Li’s Divine Sense swept over, Old Devil Cloud Dew’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a chilling glance was cast in Han Li’s direction before he stood up.

His figure then flickered, and he appeared high in the sky.

At that moment, the three’s streaks of light also shot towards him.

“Cloud Dew!

Fellow Daoist Han has arrived.

It seems we’ll soon be able to repair the Array,” Master Sunreach greeted with a smile as he stopped his light near Old Devil Cloud Dew.

Han Li and Wei Wuya also materialized one after the other.

“Oh!

It’s good news that Fellow Daoist Han is willing to help.

With the mighty Devilbane Lightning technique, success is sure to follow,” Old Devil Cloud Dew said indifferently, giving only a glance at Han Li with a somewhat detached demeanor.

“`
Han Li saw this scene and was initially somewhat surprised, but after briefly pondering, he understood what was going on and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Devilbane Lightning was especially designed to counter devilish techniques, posing a significant threat to devilish cultivators who practiced ancient devilish techniques.

As the foremost cultivator in the Devil Path, it was natural that he wouldn’t show Han Li any kindness.

And Master Sunreach, having been extremely polite to him the last time they met, probably had the intention to win him over to confront the Devil Path.

Han Li silently shook his head; although slightly disheartened, he didn’t take it too seriously.

With his current level of cultivation, even if Old Devil Cloud Dew harbored killing intent towards him, he had more than enough capability to protect himself.

There was no need to be overly fearful.

Besides, he believed that the old devil wouldn’t commit such an unwise act.

Wei Wuya had mentioned to Han Li about observing the Demonic Qi.

Old Devil Cloud Dew frowned upon hearing this but nodded in agreement nonetheless.

Led by the three cultivators, Han Li followed and flew towards the light sphere nearby.

Upon approaching, the so-called great vortex became distinctly clear in Han Li’s sight.

On the nearby sea surface, a hole with a diameter of three to four hundred zhang had appeared.

To call it a vortex was an understatement, for there wasn’t a drop of seawater at its center.

Instead, wisp after wisp of pure white Spiritual Energy continuously surged out, then floated up into the sky.

Once illuminated by the sunlight, it turned into vast swathes of radiant light that covered half the sky, looking extraordinarily brilliant.

Han Li took a deep breath of the somewhat moist sea air, feeling the purity of the nearby Spiritual Energy and was somewhat startled in his heart.

The great vortex had been there for quite some time now.

If it released so much Spiritual Energy every day, the amount lost would be extremely alarming!

Since he couldn’t see clearly what was happening deep within the vortex from the sidelines, Han Li, without speaking, gave it some thought.

A flash of green light appeared on his body, and he suddenly materialized in the air above the center, intending to look downward.

No sooner had he appeared in midair than he felt an immense gravitational pull that made his body sink.

Then, the immense force dragged him violently downward.

Han Li was shocked, but the protective flash of brilliance shone wildly on him, immediately forming a layer of misty light shielding his body.

With his profound cultivation, his body only fell for about a zhang before he abruptly stopped as if nothing had happened.

Only then did Han Li feel reassured to look down, his pupils flickering with a faint blue light.

This scene caused Master Sunreach and the others watching Han Li to change their expressions involuntarily.

“Fellow Daoist Sunreach, I remember the last time someone from your sect, Elder Ma, who is at the mid Nascent Soul stage, also flew above this spot without any Daoist paper talisman.

However, it seemed like he continuously fell for more than ten zhang before he could barely stabilize his body,” Wei Wuya turned his head and said solemnly to Master Sunreach.

“That’s correct, there was such an incident.

The suction force at the center of the vortex is no trivial matter, even we would have to sway a little if caught off guard,” the Taoist said, also revealing a look of surprise.

“Then there’s no mistake.

I’ve always felt that Fellow Daoist Han’s Cultivation Technique seemed a bit peculiar, apparently much deeper than other cultivators of the same rank.

Now that he’s advanced to the mid Nascent Soul stage, his Mana is even purer, far beyond ordinary cultivators.

I really don’t know what Incantations he primarily practices; he actually has such miraculous effects,” Wei Wuya clicked his tongue twice in somewhat envious admiration.

“That we don’t know.

Although some top-grade cultivation arts can indeed greatly enhance a cultivator’s Mana, they are either extremely difficult to cultivate successfully or come with major flaws.

Some are more trouble than they’re worth.

It’s unclear whether Fellow Daoist Han is practicing one of them,” Master Sunreach hesitated for a moment before speaking with uncertainty.

Old Devil Cloud Dew remained silent, but his expression grew darker.

At this moment, Han Li’s figure in the air flickered, and after a flash of green light, he returned to the side of the three great cultivators.

“The Spiritual Energy within this vortex is indeed astonishing.

There is such a strong suction at the sea surface; one can only imagine what dangers lie deeper,” Han Li said calmly.

“Because the Divine Sense cannot penetrate the vast amounts of Spiritual Qi, one would only be able to observe the Demonic Qi by descending to the bottom.

Although the pressure down there is not as unbearable as we’ve intentionally let on, Fellow Daoist, you should still unveil more treasures for safety when you descend.

Besides, within the vortex, there are many small vortices of Spiritual Energy which could be somewhat dangerous if one were caught in them.

How about this, this humble Daoist will accompany Fellow Daoist Han for a trip,” Master Sunreach, for some reason, offered.

“Fellow Sunreach, if you are willing to accompany Han, that would be even better.

Thank you for your efforts,” Han Li was delighted upon hearing this, and his previous concerns completely vanished.

Immediately, Han Li and Master Sunreach transformed into a black and white streak of light and disappeared into the vortex.

Suddenly, only Wei Wuya and Old Devil Cloud Dew were left watching the sea surface, silently looking towards the center of the vortex, without a word for a while.

“Brother Wei, what’s your take on this Han Daoist from Drifting Cloud Sect?” After an indeterminable time, without turning his head, Old Devil Cloud Dew suddenly asked in a faint voice.

“What’s my take?

What do you mean by that?” Upon hearing that, Wei Wuya chuckled and said leisurely.
