A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality Chapter 828

Reunion

When Scholar Zhong and Lady Le were discussing the strangeness of Devilfall Valley, Han Li was already fifty kilometers away.

The rest of the journey was uneventful. Several hours later, he arrived at the cave in the inner valley.

Taking out the Heaven-Earth Ring again, Han Li entered the tunnel under the protection of this treasure.

It did not take long to pass through the cave that was several kilometers long. Not long after, Han Li walked out of the passage of the Greatnorth Essence Light and saw the slightly white exit of the cave.

He quickly walked forward with joy in his heart.

A moment later, Han Li’s eyes lit up, and he reappeared in front of the cliff in the outer valley.

Han Li looked up at the dark sky. Although it still looked uncomfortable, it was much better than the almost ubiquitous blood-red light in the inner valley.

Han Li’s spiritual sense swept through the nearby area, but nothing strange happened. There were no other cultivators that seemed to have discovered this place. Only then did Han Li heave a sigh of relief. He turned his gaze and looked at the mountain wall at the entrance of the cave.

Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and shot out an azure spell seal. In a flash of spiritual light, it disappeared into the stone wall.

Without another word, Han Li formed a hand seal and chanted an incantation in a low voice. A strange scene then unfolded!

A layer of azure light suddenly appeared on the surface of the seemingly ordinary mountain wall, covering the entire mountain wall. Then, small groups of Gold Devouring Beetles suddenly swarmed out of the light barrier, and silver crystals of various sizes fell from the swarm. The large ones were the size of a fist, and the small ones were the size of beans.

In the blink of an eye, a small pile had gathered on the ground in front of Han Li. It was shimmering like silver, but it was translucent.

This was the result of the refinement of the Silverstar Sand.

When the first few pieces fell, Han Li’s expression was still very calm, but when more than ten pieces of crystals fell to the ground, he could not help but reveal a shocked expression.

Monarch Great Development’s elated voice suddenly sounded in Han Li’s mind, and he couldn’t help but say, “Youngster Han! There are far more Silverstar Sand mines here than I expected. It seems that my mechanical puppets can all be refined using this material.”

“That’s right. I didn’t expect that there would be so many Silverstar Sand mines here. This time, our harvest is truly extraordinary!” When the last group of Gold Devouring Beetles threw down the Silverstar Sand crystals they had stored, Han Li looked at the small pile of shiny silver items on the ground and replied happily.

With a wave of his sleeve, an azure mist swept past, and the ground was empty. All of the Silverstar Sand crystals were instantly stored into Han Li’s storage pouch.

Following that, he let out a sharp cry, and the cloud of golden beetles that were circling at a low altitude swarmed down like bees, all of them entering his pouch.

After doing all this, Han Li slapped his storage pouch and a thumb-sized transparent bead appeared in his hand.

He opened his mouth and spat a ball of azure spiritual Qi onto the bead.

Spiritual light flashed from the crystal clear bead, following which a speck of azure light the size of a soybean appeared within it.

Han Li’s gaze flickered as he stared at the ball in his hand for a long while. He frowned slightly and looked around to determine his direction.

Spiritual light then flashed from his body as he soared into the sky in a streak of azure light.

Although he was flying, Han Li was still holding the ball with one hand. Every time he flew a certain distance, he would lower his head to look at the ball before adjusting his direction.

As a result, Han Li’s speed was naturally not very fast, and he flew in an unhurried manner.

After flying for several tens of kilometers and passing by a desolate area, Han Li suddenly exclaimed in surprise and stopped.

Soon after, Han Li’s body sank and he fell from the sky, wrapped in green light.

When he was about 300 feet above the desolate land, Han Li stopped and looked down.

The corpse of a male cultivator had been split into two. He was lying on the desolate ground, and blood had already congealed and stained a large area nearby. The corpse appeared to be completely empty, and all of his storage pouches and magic treasures had disappeared without a trace.

“Looks like someone finally couldn’t help but take action.” Han Li looked at the corpse for a moment and sighed to himself. He had just confirmed that there were no spatial tears nearby. This guy must have been killed by other cultivators.

Han Li did not stay here for long. He quickly left and continued to move forward.

He believed that aside from the two late-Nascent Soul cultivators who were truly a threat to him, there was no need to fear anyone else in the valley. However, if a group of cultivators were to join forces and set up a trap to deal with him, it would be quite dangerous.

Of course, this was almost impossible, but with Han Li’s cautious instincts, he could not help but increase his vigilance along the way. Half a day later, Han Li did not encounter any ambushes. Instead, he found the corpses of two unlucky cultivators who had died under the invisible spatial rift.

When Han Li saw their mutilated bodies, he could only shake his head.

Following the guidance of the spiritual light in the ball, Han Li finally appeared in the sky above a dense forest.

Looking down at the boundless verdant forest and the towering trees, Han Li muttered to himself. Suddenly, he clenched the hand holding the ball into a fist and exerted a little force. Green light flashed on his five fingers, and a clear cracking sound was heard.

The seemingly transparent ball was crushed by Han Li’s immense strength, turning into nothingness.

The green spiritual light in the ball did not dissipate. Instead, it floated in front of Han Li without restraint.

“Go!”

Han Li snorted and pointed a finger at the spiritual light.

Immediately thereafter, the bean-sized azure object began to fly in a certain direction.

Han Li, on the other hand, followed closely behind the spiritual light.

Fifteen minutes later, somewhere in the dense forest, the spiritual light changed direction and began to descend.

Han Li’s eyes flashed as he followed closely behind.

When he reached the ground, the speck of spiritual light circled around a huge tree before disappearing into its trunk in a flash.

When Han Li saw this, he also flew in front of the tree and landed on his feet.

After sizing up the tree for a moment, he raised his hand and slapped it.

With a muffled bang, green light flashed from the spot where he struck, and a green talisman appeared from the tree. Han Li quickly grabbed the talisman with two fingers.

Looking at the talisman between his fingers, a faint smile appeared on Han Li’s face. Then, he waved his finger gently.

The talisman ignited on its own and flew through the air as a streak of red light.

This time, Han Li stood on the spot and did not move. Instead, he crossed his legs and sat down. He slowly closed his eyes to recover some of the magic power that he had expended during the journey.

Not long after, the red light landed in an inconspicuous corner of the dense forest. A moment later, a streak of light suddenly soared into the sky and flew straight towards Han Li.

Before the streak of light even got close to Han Li, Han Li sensed something and slowly opened his eyes, looking in its direction.

After a short while, the streak of light flew to this place and circled above Han Li, as if confirming Han Li’s identity before diving down.

As soon as the light touched the ground, it immediately disappeared. In front of Han Li, a beautiful female cultivator in a white dress appeared, like a fairy from heaven.

Han Li’s gaze naturally landed on this woman.

“Lady Violet Spirit, you came very quickly!” Han Li’s expression was exceptionally calm.

“Quickly? I’ve already waited here for you for several days. During this time, six or seven waves of cultivators have searched the forest, and they’ve become increasingly frequent. If Brother Han doesn’t come soon, I fear I won’t be able to stay in the forest.”

Violet Spirit’s voice was pleasant to the ear, but there was a hint of resentment in it as she gracefully walked over.

Han Li smiled when he heard this. After looking at Violet Spirit’s jade-like face, his gaze shifted and he continued.

“Lady Violet Spirit has actually revealed her true appearance. This is somewhat beyond my expectations. I thought that Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit must have disguised herself.”

Violet Spirit pursed her lips into a smile and sweetly said, “When I first entered the valley, I didn’t use my true appearance. However, the treasure I used to conceal my true appearance seemed to have been restricted by Devilfall Valley and gradually became ineffective. It was actually unable to conceal my true appearance, so I could only show my true appearance. What? Could it be that Brother Han thinks my appearance is crude and doesn’t catch your eye?”

“Lady Violet Spirit must be joking. Alright, there’s no need to make fun of me. Is this the first place you’ve found that has been marked?” Han Li smiled bitterly before his expression turned solemn.

Violet Spirit’s smile also disappeared as she replied, “That’s right. There shouldn’t be a problem. The original markings seemed to have been destroyed by the Ghost Spirit Sect. However, the fact that they were able to find this place and do such a thing only proves that there’s no problem here.”

“In that case, let’s follow the tracks of the Ghost Spirit Sect first. This might save us a lot of effort.” When Han Li heard the Ghost Spirit Sect, he raised his eyebrows and sneered.

“I’ll do as you say, Brother Han! A month ago, I placed a mark unique to our Exquisite Sound Sect on that Ghost Spirit Sect disciple’s body. This mark wasn’t condensed from magic power, but from a colorless and odorless fragrance. The range of this fragrance isn’t large, and it will lose its effect within two months. However, it’s very effective in tracking the Ghost Spirit Sect now,” Violet Spirit said very obediently, but a hint of cunningness flashed through her eyes.

“Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit. Let’s set off. We’ll first catch up to the Ghost Spirit Sect and then overtake them to find the remaining markings. In this way, the Spirit Kindle Fruit will be ours.” Han Li didn’t stand on ceremony. He nodded and slowly stood up.

A silver-furred flying squirrel suddenly flew out from the dense forest. The flying squirrel nimbly sniffed the air before flying off in a certain direction as a streak of silver light.

Soon after, two more streaks of light flew out from the forest. After circling in the air, they followed closely behind the silver streak.
