Chapter 1278

Since he was in the Spirit Realm, he was naturally not interested in any beast tide at all. The only thing he cared about now was how to restore his magic power, how to break the Ice Phoenix restriction on his body, and how to regain his original divine abilities. 【WM Web】

This was a matter of imminent urgency!

Because according to what the Tianlan Beast clone said back then, Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation cultivators in the Spirit Realm had to experience a minor heavenly tribulation every three hundred years. Although his magic power was gone, his realm remained. Who knew if this heavenly tribulation would still descend upon him, and when it would descend.

If a Spirit Transformation stage heavenly tribulation really came down, with his current mere fourth layer of the Diamond Art, and unable to drive various treasures, he would definitely be unable to survive it.

Thinking of this, Han Li's expression darkened again.

The best way to solve this matter was naturally to find the Ice Phoenix as soon as possible and mutually lift the restrictions.

When he and that woman encountered an accident in the space node, the Ice Phoenix relied on her spatial talent and escaped the node a step ahead of him; she should also be in the Spirit Realm. Now that he had lost all his magic power because of the restriction, the restriction he had placed on this Ice Phoenix should also be taking effect. And he knew perfectly well how powerful the restriction he had placed was. The situation of this demon woman now, he feared, was not even as good as his own.

But in the vast Spirit Realm, even if his magic power were still there, it would be impossible to find the other party in a short time. In the Three Realms and Seven Lands, there were probably many existences whose magic power and divine abilities far exceeded the Spirit Transformation stage.

Now that he had no power to protect himself, wanting to find the other party immediately was naturally a pipe dream.

To restore his magic power, he could only save himself.

But in his current situation, where he couldn't absorb even a trace of spiritual energy and had a belly full of secret techniques and divine abilities that he couldn't display in the slightest, re-cultivating magic power seemed to be an impossible task. As for finding other high-tier cultivators for help, with the many secrets he carried, he wouldn't even consider such a suicidal method.

Han Li sat in the chair, his expression flickering for a long time.

"It seems there is only that original path to take." His gaze flickered, and he muttered in a low voice, his face becoming somewhat gloomy.

In the month he had been coming to Anyuan City, Han Li had long thought carefully about how to restore his divine abilities. After more than half a month of repeated consideration as a mortal, he had really come up with a feasible method. It was just that this means could not be called very good, and it would take a long time. Plus, he hadn't understood the Spirit Realm before, so he had always been hesitant.

Now, after a preliminary understanding of the Spirit Realm and another analysis and deliberation, it seemed he had no choice but to adopt this method.

That was to thoroughly cultivate the only cultivation technique he could practice, the Diamond Art, to the Great Perfection realm.

According to the classics of this technique, cultivating all seven layers of the Diamond Art would allow one to rival Nascent Soul cultivators with the strength of one's physical body alone. In that case, he could force the Ice Phoenix's restriction out of his body with his powerful physical body alone.

By then, he could cultivate magic power and re-condense his Nascent Soul, which would be much simpler.

Although condensing a Nascent Soul generally required a hundred years, as long as he recovered a little magic power, he could retrieve his storage pouch, hide in a deserted place, and rely on the large amount of spirit pills and medicines carried in the storage pouch to speed up this process by several times.

In a word, if he wanted to restore his divine abilities now, he had to remove the restriction in his body before he could re-condense his Nascent Soul and thoroughly restore his original divine abilities.

According to his estimation, if there really was a minor heavenly tribulation in his current situation, it would most likely be a matter for three hundred years later. But this was only his guess; for the sake of his life, it was better to cultivate the Diamond Art as soon as possible.

Han Li had long known clearly from the Tianlan Beast clone about the difficulty of cultivating the Diamond Art.

Even if the spiritual energy in the Mortal Realm was exceptionally dense, allowing for the forced use of secret techniques for spiritual energy infusion, there were very few mortal body cultivators who could truly cultivate the Diamond Art to Great Perfection.

If it were an ordinary person, even if they were exceptionally gifted, they would never have such confidence.

But Han Li was no ordinary person. Not only had he cultivated from an ordinary mortal to the Spirit Transformation stage, giving him a firm will far exceeding ordinary cultivators in the Spirit Realm, but his physical body had also been refined by evil energy and had consumed spirit fruits and medicines like the "Heavenly Corpse Pearl" and "Dragon Scale Fruit," making it exceptionally powerful. Especially because of the Dragon Scale Fruit and the cultivation of the Bone Tempering Art, his body was already not at all inferior to that of ordinary demonic beasts.

After arriving in the Spirit Realm, he had once again scattered the massive essence of both his Nascent Souls, including the second Nascent Soul, into his body, allowing his physical potential to be elevated once more.

With so many conditions combined, it was no wonder Han Li was so confident.

The only thing he had to consider now was the inhuman pain he would have to endure to cultivate this technique, as well as the time it would take.

Because there were many low-to-mid-tier demonic beasts and various beast herds in places far from the city, it was not a wise move to cultivate alone in his current situation. Moreover, the cultivation of the later layers of the Diamond Art seemed to require insights gained from battles to increase the chance of breaking through bottlenecks.

In that case, it wouldn't hurt to stay in this Tian Dong Trading Firm for a period of time, and if he really felt it was inconvenient or inappropriate, he could leave then.

As for the blood curse placed by the blood curse document, as soon as it entered his body, it was refined clean by the powerful essence contained in his physical body; how could it truly restrain him in the slightest?

With a decision made in his heart, Han Li did not continue to stay here for long. Not long after, he left the restaurant with these books, walked to a deserted and quiet place, and pressed these classics between his two hands.

Instantly, under a huge force, these thick classics turned into paper scraps all over the sky and drifted to the ground.

Below, he found a blacksmith shop in the city, inspected it, and suddenly handed the Earth Jiao tendon to a blacksmith there. Then, pointing to several materials displayed in the shop, he gave a few low-voiced instructions and handed two low-tier spirit stones to the other party.

The blacksmith was stunned at first upon hearing Han Li's words, but immediately after gripping the two spirit stones in his hand, he nodded incessantly with a face full of smiles.

Only then did Han Li leave the blacksmith shop with a faint smile and hailed an empty beast carriage pulled by two strange beasts that looked like deer but weren't, and like horses but weren't, on the road.

Regardless of the other party's background, he tossed over a not-so-small piece of silver, spat out the words "Ruyun Inn," flashed into the carriage, and closed his eyes to rest.

This kind of beast carriage pulled by various docile beasts was everywhere on the streets of Anyuan City. After all, with the scale of this city, if there were no beast carriages for transport, walking from one district to another would probably take several hours without necessarily reaching the destination.

The beast carriage in front of him was quite magnificent, but it was clearly not a carriage for ordinary guests; it looked more like a private carriage for a wealthy family.

The coachman was furious at first when he saw Han Li hailing the carriage, but he was stunned when he saw the silver. After a moment of hesitation, he drove the beast carriage straight toward the west side of the city.

Han Li had almost taken a nap in the carriage before he heard the coachman's voice:

"Sir, Ruyun Inn has arrived!"

Han Li slowly opened his eyes and walked off the beast carriage without saying a word.

He saw a large area of pavilions and courtyards appearing before him. In front of the tallest pavilion at the very front, a huge plaque was hanging, with the words "Ruyun Inn" written in golden ancient script.

On both sides in front of the pavilion, there were rows of shed-like structures set up with wooden frames, where beast carriages of various styles were parked, appearing somewhat crowded, and strange hissing sounds came from time to time.

Han Li swept his gaze and soon landed on several attendants standing in front of the pavilion gate, greeting guests. He raised his hand and beckoned to one of them.

The attendant was also exceptionally clever and immediately trotted over.

"Guest, what are your instructions? Are you staying at the inn?"

"Are there people from the Tian Dong Trading Firm staying here today? Do you know where they are staying?" Han Li asked impassively and tossed a piece of loose silver to the other party.

"Hehe, so you are looking for the gentlemen from the Tian Dong Trading Firm. I will lead the way personally." The attendant took the silver and beamed with joy.

He then led Han Li through the pavilion and straight toward the courtyards behind.

"Because there are too many gentlemen from the Tian Dong Trading Firm, they have booked the entire West Courtyard. The West Courtyard is the best courtyard group in our inn..." The attendant introduced enthusiastically while leading the way.

Han Li listened to the attendant's words, but his expression remained indifferent, and he didn't have too much expression.

"Eh, Brother Han, you're finally back. That's great. Brother Zhang has already instructed that as soon as I see you, I must take you to see the Lady immediately. Come with me quickly." Before they reached the so-called West Courtyard, a young man walked toward them. He was stunned when he saw Han Li, then walked over with big strides in great joy, and carelessly reached out to grab Han Li's arm.

Han Li's eyebrows stirred, and he swayed his shoulder inadvertently. The other party's large hand flashed and actually missed in a strange way.

The young man was slightly stunned and was taken aback.

"So it's Brother Luo. Is the Lady Brother Luo mentioned Lady Fang?" Han Li smiled slightly and asked calmly.

This young man turned out to be the "Little Seven" among the knights of the Tian Dong Trading Firm.

"That's right, it's naturally Lady Fang. The Lady heard about your affairs and is very curious about you, intending to see you." The young man surnamed Luo's strange expression vanished, and he said with a smile.

"I am already a member of the trading firm. If Lady Fang wants to summon me, I will naturally obey the order and go. I'll trouble Brother Luo to lead the way." Han Li said lightly.

"Hehe, this is as it should be." The young man had just missed his grab and finally knew that Han Li's skills were indeed far superior to his own, so he naturally didn't dare to be disrespectful again and agreed with a fawning smile.

So Han Li dismissed the attendant and followed the young man surnamed Luo into the West Courtyard. On the way, they met many guards and knights of the trading firm and naturally greeted them one by one.

The two turned left and right several times, passed through more than a dozen large courtyards, and finally arrived in front of a small courtyard located in a secluded place.

The vicinity was relatively quiet and elegant, and there were two strange large men guarding the entrance with bare hands.

As soon as Han Li and his companion walked over, four cold gazes swept over, making their bodies feel slightly cold.
