On a vast sea between the Human and Demon races, within an archipelago of hundreds of islands, a colossal island stretching ten thousand miles bustled with activity. Thousands of low and mid-level cultivators, their escape lights appearing and disappearing, were busy working across the island.
Centered around the highest peak of this massive island, various towers and palaces rose from the surrounding mountain ranges.
Concurrently, array flags and formation disks were meticulously arranged everywhere on the island by these cultivators, causing ripples of restrictive energy to emerge.
Deep within the highest peak, Han Li was placing a black and white spherical stone, roughly the size of a human head, into a colossal formation spanning several acres.
The moment the stone was placed, the entire formation buzzed loudly, and countless golden and silver runes surged forth from all directions.
A flash of black and white light emanated from the surface of the stone, releasing an unusual wave that dissipated into the void.
"Can this formation truly activate the Two-Element Magnetic Light to repel enemies from outside the island?" Yin Yue asked, watching from behind Han Li.
"Haha, rest assured. This Grand Formation of Two-Element Myriad Attractor was established by me after referencing an ancient formation. Because several large magnetic ley lines are buried beneath the entire island, fully activating this formation can not only repel enemies from outside the island but also expand the formation's range by more than ten times," Han Li said, stroking his chin.
"If that's the case, then Yuanhe Island is truly safe. I've already witnessed the power of the Two-Element Magnetic Light; as long as the underlying magnetic veins are intact, it could even temporarily trap a Grand Ascension cultivator if they were to carelessly wander in," Yin Yue chuckled.
"Not only that. I've discovered that all the magnetic veins in the Boundless Sea seem to converge beneath this archipelago. Other islands also have magnetic veins, and while none are as powerful as those beneath Yuanhe Island, they are sufficient to set up simplified versions of the Two-Element Myriad Attractor Formation. In this way, these formations can resonate with this main island, further boosting the power of the Two-Element Magnetic Light by a significant margin and expanding the restricted area to an astonishing extent," Han Li said with a hint of self-satisfaction after glancing at the activated grand formation.
"If it can truly reach this point, the entire Boundless Sea will be impregnable. Brother Han, you will have established a genuine foundation," Yin Yue said, her eyes shifting a few times, with a touch of emotion in her voice.
"Heh heh. What's wrong, are you a little envious? If I'm not mistaken, the Wolf Clan seems to have sent people over again. Are you really not interested in meeting them? If you were willing to return, the position of Wolf King would undoubtedly be yours," Han Li turned his head and said with a smile.
"I have no interest in that position at all. Let those old-timers choose their own Wolf King. Right now, I only want to further my cultivation and reach the Grand Ascension realm. Only then will I not be left too far behind by you," Yin Yue replied, rolling her eyes.
"Since Yue'er is unwilling to be the Wolf King, then don't go back. As for the Forgetfulness Art you cultivate, I've consulted many ancient texts and finally found that it doesn't seem to be irreversible as Senior Ao Xiao claimed," Han Li nodded, his expression suddenly becoming more serious.
"What? You're saying there's a way to reverse the Forgetfulness Art? But my grandfather clearly said that unless I was willing to revert my cultivation back to the Void Refinement realm, it would be impossible to abandon this art. And once abandoned, my cultivation would be unable to advance further," Yin Yue was overjoyed at first, but immediately looked disbelieving.
"Completely abandoning the Forgetfulness Art is indeed unlikely. However, separating it from your body is not impossible," Han Li replied slowly, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Separate it? What does that mean?" Yin Yue asked, a bit confused.
"It sounds simple to say, but in practice, it's quite troublesome. To make a long story short: you can refine a clone and transfer all the true essence cultivated from the Forgetfulness Art into it. This way, there's a high probability that the negative emotions will also detach from your body," Han Li explained with a solemn expression.
"And doing this will get rid of the Forgetfulness Art?" Yin Yue still looked a bit incredulous.
"Ordinary clones naturally won't work. Moreover, once the Forgetfulness Art's true essence is separated, your cultivation will also drop back to the Void Refinement realm. The only benefit is that you'll no longer face issues with stagnation in cultivation, and when you re-cultivate to the Integration realm, there will be no more bottlenecks. The only issue is that you'll need to spend more time cultivating," Han Li explained to her in detail.
"Just spending a bit more time is nothing compared to solving the problem of the Forgetfulness Art binding me. However, what's the approximate success rate of your theory?" Yin Yue asked with some hesitation.
"Not much, but seventy to eighty percent is achievable. However, separating the Forgetfulness Art from your body certainly won't work with you alone. It requires assistance from someone whose cultivation and divine sense far surpass yours. If you truly make up your mind, I will personally help you," Han Li said gravely.
"Seventy to eighty percent? That's more than enough. But cultivating a clone isn't easy, and from your tone, an ordinary clone won't suffice," Yin Yue said, gritting her teeth.
"Don't worry. Even if it fails, your life won't be in danger. As for the clone, I've already prepared one for you." Han Li chuckled upon hearing this, then flicked his sleeve. A flash of green light appeared beside him, and a verdant figure emerged.
"Huh, isn't this your spirit body? Are you going to give it to me to use as a clone?" Yin Yue exclaimed in surprise as she clearly saw the true form of the green figure.
The green figure was indeed Han Li's Ganoderma Immortal Spirit Body.
"You guessed correctly. This spirit body is different from ordinary clones; it inherently lacks any sentience, being merely an empty shell. Normally, I just have Qu'er or a wisp of my divine sense inhabit it to control it. Now that my cultivation has advanced significantly, this Integration stage spirit body is no longer of much use to me, so giving it to you is perfect. Because it's a body formed from a Ganoderma Immortal, it is extremely pure and can easily integrate with various true essence energies. Furthermore, it already possesses cultivation at the late Integration stage, so accommodating your Forgetfulness Art's true essence will be no problem at all, and you won't need to worry about any backlash." As Han Li spoke, he formed a hand seal and pointed into the air towards the spirit body.
Immediately, the spirit body glowed intensely with green light. After a moment of blurring, its form not only became slender and graceful, but its facial features also transformed to be as exquisite and identical to Yin Yue's, though its skin remained a faint green.
Seeing this, Yin Yue was somewhat dumbfounded.
Han Li gazed at the spirit body for a few moments, feeling a touch of emotion.
He had originally hoped that this spirit body, nourished by the mysterious green liquid, would see its cultivation soar continuously.
Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, after reaching the late Integration stage, this spirit body could no longer make any further breakthroughs, no matter how much green liquid was used, and remained unable to enter the Grand Ascension realm.
Under these circumstances, it was naturally better to give it to Yin Yue to help solve her Forgetfulness Art problem.
"Since Brother Han genuinely offers this spirit body clone, then Yue'er will graciously accept it. With this clone, I have even more confidence in this solution. Without further delay, I will return now to refine this spirit body. In a hundred days, we should be able to begin solving the Forgetfulness Art problem." Yin Yue said to Han Li with a slight exhalation and a hint of an unusual expression.
"That's good! The sooner you resolve the Forgetfulness Art issue, the sooner you can rest easy. During your seclusion, I will oversee my disciples to ensure the complete construction of the immortal cave and all formations. At that time, I can fully assist you in separating the true essence within your body." Han Li nodded with a faint smile.
Yin Yue flashed a sweet smile at Han Li, then formed a hand seal, transforming into a flickering phantom and vanishing.
Only then did Han Li unhurriedly turn back and begin testing the various restrictions generated by the formation before him.
The reason he was so eager to solve Yin Yue's Forgetfulness Art problem was, naturally, to prepare for his upcoming distant journey.
Since this trip was to another continent, and he had no idea what dangers they might encounter, he naturally didn't want Yin Yue to accompany him on such a perilous journey.
After all, the Spirit Realm was vast. While he was confident in his ability to protect himself against any great danger, the same could not be said for those around him.
For his journey to another continent a few years later, Han Li planned to bring only Zhu Guo'er and the attendant, Old Ancestor Huashi.
Zhu Guo'er had to be kept close because her divine sense was necessary for investigating the passage to the Small Spirit Realm.
Huashi, on the other hand, was proficient in water-element divine abilities, which would likely prove useful on another continent.
At this thought, a beautiful figure, long hidden in his heart, flashed through Han Li's mind. But after taking a deep breath, he temporarily pushed her back into the depths of his heart.
If the journey to the other continent went smoothly, he would soon be able to meet that beautiful person.
For now, his priority was to ensure the complete and flawless setup of the Grand Formation of Two-Element Myriad Attractor, leaving no vulnerabilities.
Three years passed in a flash!
Yuanhe Island was now completely different from three years prior.
The island's spiritual energy was now more vibrant than before, and between the various peaks and hills, more spirit birds and exotic beasts could be seen, some circling in flight, others strolling leisurely.
Among the palaces and towers, fully armed puppet warriors patrolled back and forth along fixed routes with impassive faces.
This added a chilling aura of martial might to the otherwise picturesque, fairyland-like scene.
Suddenly, several melodious chimes echoed from the highest peak. From the buildings on nearby mountains, countless escape lights shot into the sky, all streaking directly towards the summit of the colossal peak.
"Greetings, Ancestor! Congratulations on ending your seclusion!" Thousands of mid- and high-level cultivators appeared on the mountain peak and bowed in reverence towards the silver palace before them.
