Chapter 1421: The Tianpeng Race and the Offerings (One)

"This is already the third failed attempt at breaking through the bottleneck. WM網 It seems that mere bitter cultivation won't allow me to break through this barrier in a short time—I must seek another method." Han Li muttered to himself, then suddenly flipped his palm, producing an object imprinted with a black phoenix.

It was precisely the small silver bottle containing three Black Flame Pills.

Although the Black Flame Pill is hailed as the finest spiritual medicine for breaking through a late-stage Soul Transformation bottleneck, given its tremendous potency, it naturally can also be used by mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivators. However, its effects are somewhat overly powerful; if a cultivator with insufficient cultivation or an overly frail physical body were to consume it, they might instead be reduced to ashes by the Black Phoenix flame contained within the pill.

Han Li possessed the Devouring Spirit Heavenly Fire, and furthermore cultivated both magic and body arts, so naturally he had no such concerns. He could safely take it to aid his breakthrough of the current bottleneck.

But if he did so, he would be short one Black Flame Pill when advancing to the Refinement Void realm, and his breakthrough probability would be considerably reduced out of thin air.

After all, a spiritual medicine like the Black Flame Pill is something one encounters by chance, not by seeking. His current mid-stage bottleneck is merely a matter of sooner or later breaking through. Yet countless cultivators are stuck at the late-stage Soul Transformation threshold their entire lives; the relative scarcity of Refinement Void cultivators compared to Soul Transformation cultivators alone shows how difficult that advancement is. Therefore, when breaking through this bottleneck, naturally the more supplementary pills the better.

After deliberating back and forth for a long time, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of Han Li's mouth. He still put the medicine bottle away, returning it to his storage bracelet.

However, Han Li had no intention of continuing his closed-door cultivation. He rose and walked toward the great door of the secret chamber.

Outside the secret chamber, a giant ape puppet had been waiting there at some unknown time.

Han Li's brow lifted slightly, but before he could speak, the puppet suddenly took a large stride forward and presented with both hands a pale-yellow stick-like object covered in peculiar dark-green patterns—it was precisely the Profound Heaven Fruit.

At the sight of this object, Han Li's expression grew solemn.

With a single hand grab, he drew the object into his palm, while his eyes blazed with blue light, peering directly through it.

As a result, the light cluster inside, originally only the size of a soybean, had now grown to the size of a thumb.

Han Li weighed this treasure in his hand, feeling somewhat vexed.

Regarding information on the Profound Heaven Fruit, Han Li had naturally secretly investigated at some ancient book shops in Tianyuan City back then.

But strangely, no matter how ancient the texts, none mentioned anything about this object whatsoever. Had he not obtained some information related to the Profound Heaven Immortal Wood and Vines while still in the mortal realm, he probably wouldn't have known at all what the Profound Heaven Fruit even was.

Nevertheless, since the Profound Heaven Fruit could contain the law force of an entire realm, it was naturally a heaven-defying treasure.

Han Li naturally never let a single word slip about it.

After once again injecting spiritual power into the Profound Heaven Fruit to no avail, Han Li stroked the object with his fingers, a contemplative look appearing on his face.

Over these years, he had almost continuously injected the mysterious green liquid into the fruit, but aside from making the white light spot grow a bit larger, no other anomalies had been observed.

Although he didn't know whether continuously injecting the spiritual liquid would truly allow him to use this fruit, for now he could only continue in this manner.

After carefully putting away the Profound Heaven Fruit, Han Li went to check on the medicine garden.

In the medicine garden, the spiritual medicines originally planted, such as the Zhilong Fruit, had long since ripened in abundance, and a batch had been specially collected by the puppet and stored in another storage bracelet.

Han Li was naturally overjoyed, and immediately transferred those spiritual fruits into the storage bracelet he carried.

After completing all this, Han Li beckoned with one hand to the puppet that had been following beside him.

Immediately, the second Nascent Soul flew directly out from the giant ape puppet, and after a single spiral, vanished into Han Li's body.

Han Li squinted slightly, seemingly receiving some information. After a moment, he slapped the back of his head, released the second Nascent Soul back to the puppet, and let out a cold snort.

"A mere few mid-grade demon creatures dare to come seeking trouble again—it seems they've found some kind of helper."

After saying this, Han Li strode toward a certain great hall in his cave dwelling.

A giant formation and a altar-like high platform stood quietly in this place. The high platform was situated at the formation's eye, and upon it was赫然 enshrined an octagonal magic disk!

Without further words, Han Li raised his hand and struck several magic arts into the formation.

After a low hum, the entire formation rippled with waves of white light. Then, amid the flashing of Bai Mang, a silver light screen appeared on the octagonal disk. Specks of white light flickered unceasingly upon it, almost covering the entire light screen.
