Chapter 1029

The reputation of this demon blade, which could only possibly be refined using Demon Marrow Diamond, was enough to shock anyone who heard it. Web

It is said that this treasure possesses the vicious supernatural ability to absorb the flesh, blood, and primordial spirit of the cultivators it kills, and then refine them into power. This means that the more cultivators it kills, the greater the power of the demon blade becomes. Therefore, a demon cultivator once held the Demon Dragon Blade and killed a Spirit Transformation stage cultivator.

Therefore, many cultivators believe that as long as this treasure is given a certain amount of time and continuously nurtured through slaughter, it could even potentially rival a Heaven-Shattering Spirit Treasure.

Of course, both Heaven-Shattering Spirit Treasures and the Demon Dragon Blade have been extinct in the mortal world for who knows how many years, so there is no way to truly compare them.

But even so, the fact that this Yin Luo Sect elder had suddenly mentioned this treasure still made Han Li's expression look somewhat ugly.

"Since it's only seven or eight parts similar, and with his cultivation, he still had the chance to let his Nascent Soul escape, that piece shouldn't be the Demon Dragon Blade. It might be another rare demon-path treasure." Gui Ling, who had been listening quietly to the conversation between the two, flashed her eyes and said.

"That should be the case!" Han Li nodded.

He immediately raised his head and looked intently at the direction of the Demon-Suppressing Tower; indeed, a part of the mountain peak in the distance was missing.

"This Mount Kunwu Mountain is known as the immortal mountain of the mortal world; it's not strange to have a Heaven-Shattering Spirit Treasure." He thought of the Void Heaven Cauldron in his hand and muttered, feeling a sudden surge of excitement.

With the help of the newly subdued Gui Ling and the humanoid puppet, it wasn't impossible to have a chance to snatch this treasure. Moreover, he had obtained seven or eight high-tier spirit stones from Old Demon Qian's storage bag earlier. This greatly reduced his worries about using this puppet.

"Master! Let's go over and take a look. I don't know why, but just after coming out of the hall, I feel that something is wrong with me. It seems that something in the direction of the Demon-Suppressing Tower you mentioned is summoning me. This thing feels very familiar, and it seems to be related to something from before I lost my memory." Silver Moon suddenly said hesitantly in Han Li's mind.

"Something is summoning you?" Han Li was stunned when he heard this.

"That's right. I faintly feel that if I miss this opportunity, I might lose the chance to recover all my memories." Silver Moon's voice rarely contained a hint of pleading.

Han Li fell silent. After a good while, he suddenly gave a light laugh and said in a seemingly relaxed tone.

"Since you've said so, let's go and take a look. Anyway, I am also very interested in this Heaven-Shattering Spirit Treasure."

"Thank you, Master, for fulfilling my wish!" Hearing Han Li's reply, Silver Moon replied with extreme joy.

"Fellow Daoist Gui, since a Heaven-Shattering Spirit Treasure has appeared over there, it seems we have to join in the fun." Han Li turned his head and said slowly to Gui Ling.

"I will follow your lead, Fellow Daoist! However, how should we deal with this person?" Gui Ling bowed slightly, her expression returning to normal as she replied.

With such a supreme treasure appearing, any cultivator would find it impossible to turn a blind eye. The monster had long anticipated Han Li's sudden change of mind and was not surprised.

"Fellow Daoist promised me that you wouldn't attack me. That's why I told you everything I knew truthfully." Hearing Gui Ling's words, the Nascent Soul restrained by the large hand shouted in panic.

That chair was nothing much, just carved from ordinary golden silk spirit wood, but the case table was emerald green and dripping, emitting a vibrant spiritual energy, looking like no ordinary object. What's more, it was currently covered by a layer of green murky light shield, and through this light shield, one could vaguely see a few items placed on the jade table.

After a scream, the Nascent Soul and the large hand dissipated and disappeared in the golden light, but a pale green banner fell out.

Han Li's eyes brightened. He flicked his long sleeve, rolled the banner into his hand, and examined it carefully.

It was indeed another Yin Luo Banner!

Through the Soul-Searching Technique, Han Li naturally knew that this banner was no small matter; if one could gather all eighteen banners, the power would be unimaginably great.

Since he had already formed a deep grudge with the Yin Luo Sect, he naturally wouldn't be polite anymore, and he stuffed the banner into his storage bag with a backhand motion.

Even if this treasure was a bit of a burden for him, he couldn't let the Yin Luo Sect easily gather this set of treasures.

Throughout the generations of the Yin Luo Sect, there had been instances where these banners were lost or destroyed, but with the sect's influence, they either found them back quickly or refined new ones.

However, the Yin Luo Sect had only experienced such things a few times. Now that they had suddenly lost several banners, no matter how wealthy the Yin Luo Sect was, it wouldn't be easy to refine them again. Moreover, even if they were refined, it would take a long time to nurture them to a certain level of power.

"Let's go! I don't know if anyone has already snatched the treasure." Han Li looked up at the direction of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, muttered in a low voice, and drifted down along the stone stairs.

Gui Ling followed closely behind.

There were ancient restrictions on both sides of the stone stairs; otherwise, if they had taken a shortcut, they might have arrived at the Demon-Suppressing Tower a step earlier.

This time, Han Li ignored the traces of fighting on the road. Not long after, he returned to the white jade square where they had originally started and stepped onto the stone stairs leading to the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

This time, they hadn't walked far before a messy area appeared in front, with large pits and rubble everywhere.

Han Li ignored it and was about to walk past without stopping when Gui Ling beside him let out a low cry and looked toward a certain place.

Han Li was surprised! He hadn't sensed anything. After his gaze followed and looked over, he also discovered the abnormality.

Under a pile of inconspicuous rubble, a small section of something white was exposed. Although only a small part was visible, it was clearly a bony arm.

He flicked his sleeve, and a gust of green wind flew out, blowing the rubble away without a trace, revealing a skeleton lying on the ground.

Han Li's expression changed!

He was unusually familiar with the clothing and hairstyle covering the skeleton! It was none other than the Fu-surnamed elder of the Nine Nether Sect. The purple pearl was tightly grasped in one of his bony hands, but it was mostly shattered and completely destroyed.

Han Li didn't say anything, just watched quietly with flashing eyes.

"To think that after racking his brains to refine the Infant-Nurturing Pill, he would actually fall here! This path of cultivation is truly unpredictable!" After a good while, he sighed lightly, his heart seemingly very complicated.

Although he couldn't say he had any friendship with the Fu-surnamed elder, he had just been traveling with him not long ago, and now he had inexplicably fallen here. It really gave him a strange feeling.

"Why, does Fellow Daoist Han know this person? The fall of this person seems a bit strange. It's clear he must have just died, but the flesh and blood on his body were strangely stripped away by someone, and there are no traces of his Nascent Soul escaping from the top of his head. It looks like even his Nascent Soul didn't escape. And there is a trace left by a sword-type treasure on his back; he looks somewhat like..." Gui Ling stared at a strange, flat, narrow wound on the skeleton's back and said hesitantly.

"He looks somewhat like the one killed by the demon blade mentioned by the Yin Luo Sect people, is that what you want to say?" Han Li let out a long breath and said.

"Indeed, although there are a few other types of demon arts that can also strip away a cultivator's flesh and blood, the traces caused are definitely not like this. And the Yin Luo Sect elder earlier was still able to escape with his Nascent Soul, but this person completely fell. Could it be that the person holding that thing really has the Demon Dragon Blade? Otherwise, how could the power be so obviously different?" Gui Ling said solemnly.

"No, although it is said that the Demon Dragon Blade can greatly increase its power by absorbing the flesh, blood, and primordial spirit of cultivators, this refining process takes a very long time. How could its power increase so quickly?" Han Li pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"That's true!" Gui Ling was stunned and suddenly realized.

"What I care about is that this Wandering Immortal True Person seems to be completely uninhibited in his actions, daring to attack not only the Yin Luo Sect but also the Nine Nether Sect people. This is not something a rogue cultivator would dare to do. And after annihilating the demon-path elders, he didn't even bother to destroy the corpses; isn't he afraid that the two great demon sects will join forces to find trouble with him later?" Han Li glanced at the skeleton again, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes. The storage bag on the skeleton was gone, and it was clear that the Infant-Nurturing Pill had also fallen into the hands of the Wandering Immortal True Person.

Just at this moment, space moved above Han Li's head. Amidst a flash of cyan mist, a cyan cloth with surging runes appeared, and then it pressed down fiercely without hesitation.

Han Li thought for a while, but didn't come to any conclusion. Finally, he raised his hand and released a fireball, turning the skeleton into ashes. At least he didn't let the Fu-surnamed elder's corpse be exposed in the wilderness like this.

"Let's be careful too. I don't know how powerful that demon blade has become after devouring a Nascent Soul cultivator. Don't be careless and suffer the same poisonous hand." Han Li said indifferently and took the lead to go up the mountain, but his expression was much gloomier than before.

Hearing this, Gui Ling felt a chill in her heart. After her ugly face twisted, she sneered and followed.

Walking further up, Han Li and Gui Ling didn't encounter any more abnormalities and finally reached the end of the stone stairs.

Calling it the end is actually incorrect, because the stone stairs behind them disappeared into thin air without a trace.

The seemingly exceptionally solid shield wall, under the illumination of the silver mist, dissolved like spring snow melting, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye, revealing the true appearance of the items on the offering table.

Raising his head to look into the distance of the cliff, and then lowering his head to look at the unfathomable bottom of the cliff, Han Li rubbed his chin, revealing a look of contemplation.

"It seems everyone else has gone down. The Demon-Suppressing Tower has actually collapsed; I wonder what on earth happened down there!" Although Gui Ling had heard people talk about it, looking at the strange phenomenon before her, she still revealed a look of surprise.

"Fellow Daoist Gui, do you know what kind of demon was suppressed in this Demon-Suppressing Tower before?" Han Li suddenly asked Gui Ling.

"I don't know about that. Back then, I was just a monster used to guard Mount Kunwu Mountain; how would those ancient cultivators mention this to us? However, before I was transferred elsewhere, I did once sense an extremely powerful demonic energy appear in Mount Kunwu Mountain. But it disappeared immediately, and it should have been sealed in the tower. Unfortunately, my cultivation was still shallow back then, and I could only feel that the demonic energy was very powerful, but I couldn't judge the specific cultivation of the owner of the demonic energy at all." After a moment of hesitation, Gui Ling replied honestly.
