A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, Volume Six: Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures
But just then, the head of the Spirit Rhinoceros Peacock flashed with white light, and the young man surnamed Xu's face reappeared. He gave a bitter smile amidst the astonished gazes of the scholar and the old man, then said:
"Fellow Daoists, there's no need to search for me. My physical body has been destroyed. Now, only my Nascent Soul remains, residing within this spirit bird."
"How is that possible? Brother Xu is a late-stage cultivator. How could his body be so easily destroyed? Could it be that the Ancient Demonic Saint Ancestor suppressed here has already escaped?" Xuan Qingzi was greatly startled, his expression turning pale.
"From your tone, it sounds like you've long known about the demonic beings in this Demon Suppressing Pagoda." The young man surnamed Xu's face darkened.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, please don't misunderstand. Originally, I did know about it. It was only later, after receiving news from my sect, that I came to understand the situation here a little better. The matter of the Ancient Demonic Saint Ancestor is extremely grave. I hope you can tell us more about it." Xuan Qingzi chuckled lightly, then spoke vaguely.
Though the young man surnamed Xu didn't quite believe him, since he was currently just a Nascent Soul, it wasn't appropriate to press the issue further. He immediately sighed and replied:
"That Ancient Demonic Saint Ancestor has indeed escaped. However, my physical body was not destroyed by the ancient demon. Instead, I was ambushed by the Ten-Thousand-Year Corpse Bear from the Myriad Demon Valley."
"Myriad Demon Valley? Impossible. I've been guarding outside this whole time. How could Master Bear have infiltrated? Could it be that he entered this mountain before us?" Xuan Qingzi was stunned but immediately realized the possibility.
"That's right. That bear not only entered earlier than you and I, but I also don't know what secret art it used to transform into the appearance of a human cultivator. It didn't reveal any corpse aura at all; otherwise, how could I, Xu, have been ambushed by it?" As the young man surnamed Xu recalled his body being devoured by the blood blade, he couldn't help but feel immense pain in his heart.
"If it was that Corpse Bear that ambushed you, Fellow Daoist, then that's highly possible. The Valley Master of Myriad Demon Valley possesses a wondrous treasure called the 'Illusionary Form Pearl'. It is said that swallowing this pearl not only allows one to change one's appearance at will but also conceals unusual spiritual auras like demonic qi and corpse qi. Ordinary cultivators cannot detect it at all. Even my Wondrous Sound Treasure Mirror is incapable of dispelling this treasure's divine abilities," Master Qimiao said, frowning.
"Now that you mention it, I remember. The Myriad Demon Valley indeed possesses this wondrous treasure. However, I heard that if one consumes this pearl, one's magical power will be greatly restricted; otherwise, the pearl's divine effect will be lost. Brother Xu, did that Corpse Bear reveal its true form when it ambushed you?" Old Daoist Xuan Qing also suddenly understood.
"With what you two Fellow Daoists explained, it seems to be true. That Corpse Bear indeed revealed its refined corpse identity only after ambushing me." The young man surnamed Xu's face was filled with resentment.
"For Fellow Daoist to be able to escape with your Nascent Soul after being ambushed by the Corpse Bear, it can be considered a great fortune amidst misfortune. And you haven't undergone 'body snatching' yet, right? As long as you return and find a suitable body, and cultivate diligently for another hundred years or so, I presume your cultivation will fully recover." The middle-aged scholar glanced at the Spirit Rhinoceros Peacock, seeming to have discerned something, and said with a smile.
"Brother Qimiao truly has discerning eyes. Although I can temporarily reside within this bird's body now, it's not a long-term solution. It's better for me to find a suitable body as soon as possible," the young man surnamed Xu replied with a light sigh.
The middle-aged scholar said nothing more after hearing this. Instead, his gaze shifted to Gui Ling, and a hint of solemnity appeared on his face.
"This Fellow Daoist looks very unfamiliar. How should I address you?" Master Qimiao slowly asked. The old Daoist beside him also had a flickering gaze, carefully observing the ugly woman.
After all, Gui Ling had the cultivation of a Level Ten demonic beast, and she naturally couldn't conceal herself from two grand cultivators of the same level.
The ugly woman's face was expressionless, but Han Li suddenly spoke with a smile.
"This is Fellow Daoist Gui Ling. Like me, she was accidentally teleported into this mountain after triggering a restriction."
"Teleported in by triggering a restriction? That is indeed a very rare occurrence. May I ask which sect Fellow Daoist Han belongs to? I don't seem to have seen you before." Xuan Qingzi saw that the ugly woman remained silent, appearing to take Han Li as her leader. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his previous casual attitude towards Han Li immediately changed. He replied with a smile.
"I, Han, am merely a rogue cultivator, so it's naturally not surprising that Fellow Daoist doesn't know me. However, to be with Master Qimiao of the Demonic Heaven Sect, I presume your identity, Fellow Daoist, is also extraordinary. May I presumptuously ask, how did you two Fellow Daoists enter the eighth level? According to what I know, the teleportation array there seems to be inoperable for some reason." Han Li had never met Xuan Qingzi before, but after hearing their words just now, he vaguely knew that the other party was most likely an elder from one of the Ten Great Sects. He naturally became alert and responded.
"I am truly muddle-headed. I haven't even introduced myself yet. I am Xuan Qingzi from the Grand Unity Sect. As for how we entered, we didn't use any teleportation array. Instead, we used our Grand Unity Sect's Boundary-Breaking Talisman. We broke open the barrier of this eighth level and forcibly squeezed our way in," Xuan Qingzi said casually. "A Boundary-Breaking Talisman? This talisman alone can break through spatial barriers?" Han Li was stunned upon hearing the name, then a look of doubt appeared on his face.
"Of course, a talisman alone isn't enough. It also requires special secret arts and our sect's Sky-A Divine Sword. However, I didn't expect that as soon as we entered this place, we'd be trapped in yet another space," the old Daoist said, clicking his tongue and chuckling, glancing back at the space from which they had originally escaped the Black Wind Banner restriction.
"The Grand Unity Sect's Boundary-Breaking Talisman and Sky-A Divine Sword are truly renowned. I, too, have long admired their reputation. Spatial barriers that leave us helpless are treated as nothing by you two Fellow Daoists. The Grand Unity Sect and the Demonic Heaven Sect truly live up to their reputation as the top righteous and demonic sects in Jin," Lin Yinping said with a light sigh.
"Fairy Lin, you jest," Xuan Qing said courteously, stroking his beard. "Your Heavenly Azure's treasures are also considerable. It's just that our sect's divine sword happens to possess some spatial-breaking divine abilities."
Yinping listened to the old Daoist's modest words but couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The Heavenly Azure Sacred Palace might not be inferior to the two great sects in terms of high-tier cultivators, but when it came to treasures, how could it compare to the two sects whose legacies had been passed down since ancient times?
"By the way, where is Old Devil Qian? Fellow Daoist Xuan Qing mentioned that Old Devil also entered this mountain," the middle-aged scholar asked, suddenly sweeping his gaze around with a slight change in expression.
Old Devil Qian.
Upon hearing this, the young man surnamed Xu and Lin Yinping couldn't help but look towards Han Li.
After all, Madame Mu of the Immortal Sect had once mentioned the battle between Han Li and Old Devil Qian. Originally, they naturally didn't believe that Old Devil had died at Han Li's hands, but after witnessing Han Li's divine abilities, they now couldn't help but feel a hint of doubt.
Their expressions naturally appeared greatly surprised in the eyes of Xuan Qingzi and Master Qimiao. They couldn't help but exchange glances, their gazes also falling on Han Li's face.
This made both of them feel a chill in their hearts.
"Since you two Fellow Daoists wish to know about the ancient demon, then allow me, Han, to explain," Han Li said calmly, his gaze shifting.
"Good. Since Fellow Daoist Han..."
Old Daoist Xuan Qing was just about to say something with a smile when suddenly, an earth-shattering roar erupted from the direction of the palace. Over a dozen milky-white light pillars suddenly erupted from within the palace.
The old Daoist's expression instantly changed, and his words came to an abrupt halt.
Immediately, the entire eighth level space shook violently. A loud buzzing sound arose, and the ground slowly cracked open. White light flickered in the space, and everything was twisting and deforming.
"This is bad! That Ancient Demonic Saint Ancestor is opening the seal of the ninth level! How is it doing that? This is impossible!" Master Qimiao cried out in alarm upon seeing this scene, fear simultaneously appearing on his face.
Ninth level seal?
Han Li was greatly surprised upon hearing this. However, seeing that the entire space seemed on the verge of collapse, without time to think, spiritual light flashed from his body. The Primordial Adamant Shield shot out from his hand, transforming into a layer of silver light barrier, protecting him beneath it. But before he could make any further moves, the dozen-plus light pillars erupting from the palace direction suddenly changed color, turning a pitch-black, ink-like hue. As the light pillars swelled and deformed, they suddenly curved and shot out in all directions. Wherever they passed, space was torn and shattered, and light and black rays intertwined and flashed.
"Spatial fissures!"
Upon seeing this scene, Han Li could no longer remain calm. His expression drastically changed.
Immediately, without thinking, he flipped his palm. A fiery red talisman appeared in his hand. He slapped it onto his body, and a scarlet flood dragon shadow emerged from his body, then vanished in a flash.
In the blink of an eye, Han Li transformed into a half-human, half-flood dragon state. And at this moment, amidst Yinping's cries of alarm, a pitch-black fissure instantly appeared before everyone.
Han Li only felt a flash of black light before his eyes, and endless darkness swallowed him whole. There was no way to evade it.
