Chapter 1608: Nurturing Thought Bead

He turned his head and looked toward the source of the golden light.

In the distance, the long-haired alien had somehow escaped from the golden giant ball, and beside him appeared a blue humanoid puppet two zhang tall.

This puppet was entirely blue, one arm raised high, with fine golden electric arcs flashing between its five fingers.

This alien named Jia Tianmu actually brought not only two high-level puppets, but the newly appeared third puppet could also release Evil-Warding Divine Thunder.

This was truly beyond Han Li's expectations.

However, Han Li's surprise was only for a moment!

The next moment, the giant Peng suddenly flapped its wings fiercely, turning into a violent wind and arriving above the silver warship, its body flashing with green light and expanding by more than half again.

Following that, its two giant claws flashed with dazzling electric light and grabbed down fiercely.

With several loud "puff" sounds, the two giant claws sank into the warship simultaneously, then split to the left and right.

Amidst thunderous sounds, the warship was forcibly grabbed open, revealing a large hole.

Then the giant Peng opened its mouth, and a thick electric arc sprayed out, vanishing into the hole in a flash.

Amidst the flashing electric light, screams erupted in the warship, and it was unknown how many Jiao Chi tribesmen were killed by the electric light.

The giant Peng didn't stop there!

It flapped its wings fiercely toward the bottom, and a white hazy hurricane emerged out of thin air.

The giant Peng's two giant claws let go, and the massive warship, under the swirling violent wind, plummeted straight down.

After a loud "rumble," the warship crashed onto the ground.

The giant Peng let out a long cry, retracted its wings, and shrank rapidly amidst flashing green light, turning back into human form in the blink of an eye.

Han Li swept his gaze toward the ground, formed a seal with both hands,

Dozens of small green swords appeared in the surroundings simultaneously, trembling, and shot down as dozens of green rays.

In an instant, the warship below was slashed into pieces by so many sword lights, finally erupting with a roar.

Han Li had no intention of letting the other fallen warship go either, driving the crowd of flying swords to destroy it as well.

At this moment, those Jiao Chi armored warriors and two-headed giant eagles that were originally watching the battle were also killed seven or eight-tenths by the Leopard-Lin Beast and the Soul-Cry Beast that had taken action.

Only a few who had fled to the far distance from the beginning were lucky enough to save their lives.

Han Li was too lazy to order the two beasts to chase and kill anything else, just raised his hand, and a pitch-black ring shot out with a whistle.

The black giant ape shrank instantly, and together with the Leopard-Lin Beast, turned into a golden light and a black light, vanishing into the black ring in a flash.

Han Li shook his sleeves, and the ring flew back with a "woo-woo" sound, being collected by him again.

At this time, Han Li glanced at Jia Tianmu in the distance, and suddenly turned into a green rainbow and shot over.

With just a flash, he appeared like a ghost a zhang away in front of the alien, staring at him coldly, with no expression on his face.

Jia Tianmu's heart tightened, but a smile appeared on his face as he cupped his fists and said to Han Li:

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your help. I will definitely not break the promise I made earlier. After returning to the tribe, I am willing to gift a psychic puppet."

"You have guts, actually daring to drag Han into the water. Don't you fear that I will kill you with one sword now?" Han Li narrowed his eyes, a trace of murderous aura appearing between his brows.

"Fellow Daoist is joking! If you really wanted to do so, you would have killed me along with them just now. Why would you leave me until now! Besides, I did so earlier because I couldn't protect myself, and I really had no other way. I hope Senior can be magnanimous," Jia Tianmu said with a flattering smile.

"How did you discover I was below? I consider my concealment technique quite marvelous; it shouldn't be seen through by anyone below the same stage," Han Li was silent for a moment, then asked suddenly.

"With Senior's abilities, how could my cultivation discover anything. The reason I discovered Senior's traces earlier is entirely because of this item," Jia Tianmu hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and spat out an object, grabbing it in his hand and holding it up lightly.

Han Li looked intently and saw it was a black and white round bead, but there were faint vortex-like spiritual energies appearing on the surface.

"What is this?" Han Li felt vaguely familiar, and asked with confusion.

"It's no wonder Senior doesn't know this item. This 'Nurturing Thought Bead' is a treasure refined from the inner core of a rare spirit beast called the 'Niece-Shape Beast'. It can temporarily increase one's divine sense by several times, and can even amplify spiritual perception to an unimaginable degree. Although every use requires several years of cultivation in the body, and the aftereffects are not small, it is still very useful at critical moments," Jia Tianmu explained honestly.

"Increase divine sense by several times?" Han Li was greatly shocked.

If he had heard that it could increase one's cultivation base by several times, he might not have been so surprised. After all, there are means to temporarily increase one's magic power realm in the Spirit Realm, although rare, they are not non-existent. But he was hearing for the first time since arriving in the Spirit Realm that something could affect divine sense. After all, divine sense generally grows with cultivation and has some relationship with the cultivation of certain techniques. Generally speaking, other external objects cannot affect divine sense at all.

"Nurturing Thought Bead! Niece-Shape Beast!" Han Li muttered, staring at the black bead in the other's hand, and a trace of strange color flashed across his face.

"However, the Niece-Shape Beast used to refine this bead is almost extinct in the Spirit Realm. And once this bead is used by someone, it cannot be used by a second person. Otherwise, once swallowed, it will instead cause divine sense to be too mixed and lead to madness and death," Jia Tianmu saw Han Li's expression and immediately felt a jolt in his heart, saying so.

"So that's how it is!" Han Li, who had just had a murderous intent, was greatly disappointed upon hearing this, and the twitching in the corner of his eyes also returned to normal.

However, looking at that black bead, he still felt it was extremely familiar. It seemed he had a bead just like it in his storage bracelet. It was the inner core of an unknown alien beast he killed when picking the Spirit Candle Fruit in the Fallen Devil Valley years ago. "Could that alien beast be the so-called Niece-Shape Beast!" Han Li's thoughts turned rapidly, and he was suddenly somewhat excited.

If he could also have such a Nurturing Thought Bead, wouldn't the number of Gold-Devouring Beetles he could drive increase by nearly half? It would be enough to scare off and deal with some life-and-death enemies!

However, in order not to let the other party see anything, Han Li didn't ask any more questions about the Nurturing Thought Bead. Instead, he looked at him and the humanoid puppet beside him, and asked indifferently:

"Judging by the importance those Jiao Chi people attach to you, you shouldn't be an ordinary person! Can you introduce yourself first!"

"I am just a Rank 3 existence of the Upper Tribes, just knowing some small puppet refining techniques, and have a bit of fame in the tribe," Jia Tianmu smiled and said lightly.

"Is that so? To be able to make the Jiao Chi tribe's Elder Council attach such importance to you. It seems your puppet arts are truly extraordinary," Han Li said with flashing eyes.

Hearing Han Li say this, Jia Tianmu laughed, didn't answer, but swept his gaze around, and said with some worry:

"Senior, this place is not a place to stay for long. Should we leave this place together first, and then talk about other matters?"

"Hmph! That makes sense. However, Han never said I would go with you. You walk your wooden bridge, I walk my sunny road. Your target is so large, I don't want to be collateral damage a second time," Han Li snorted and said so.

Then he turned his body, green light flashing on his body, seemingly about to fly away.

"Wait. Doesn't Senior know that the further you go, the stricter the blockade ahead becomes. Even if Senior's escape technique is high, I'm afraid you can't easily escape this region. But I know a secret teleportation array that can directly escape the region occupied by the Jiao Chi tribe," Jia Tianmu said anxiously, fearing that Han Li would really leave just like that.

"Teleportation array? You aren't trying to deceive me with empty words, are you?" Han Li's spiritual light converged, and he turned back to ask, with an expression of great surprise.

"Senior, rest assured. This teleportation array is a secret teleportation array specifically set up by our Tian Yun Thirteen Tribes for some of our special personnel. You will know if it's true or false once you get there. If what I say is false, I am willing to let Senior dispose of me," Jia Tianmu said with a full face of smiles.

Han Li listened, his eyes revealing a look of contemplation.

The Jiao Chi tribe's patrol squads were indeed becoming more frequent the further he went, and even the silver warships appeared quite a few times. He really didn't have much confidence that he could pass through such a strict blockade safely.

If he could have a teleportation array to teleport directly outside, it would naturally be very safe.

Although the Jiao Chi tribe and the Tian Yun Thirteen Tribes had nothing to do with him. But looking at the Jiao Chi tribe's near-slaughtering behavior in Green Light City, he knew that even if he offered the jade boxes and surrendered to this tribe, it was impossible.

On the contrary, the Tian Yun Thirteen Tribes did not take an exclusionary policy toward outsiders. It was feasible to go to the region they controlled to find a temporary place to stay and slowly find a way back to the Wind Origin Continent.

And he was carrying the two jade boxes, which also needed to be handled. This person seemed to have a high status in the Wan Gu tribe, so maybe he could be of some help.

After thinking it over, Han Li nodded, his expression softening as he said:

"Fine, since Fellow Daoist has said so, Han will respectfully obey. Lead the way, Fellow Daoist Jia." His tone became a bit more polite.

Jia Tianmu was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

The several special spiritual stones used by his puppets were all exhausted of spiritual power. Without the protection of a high-level person like Han Li, it was impossible for a mere Rank 3 existence of the Upper Tribes to sneak into the teleportation array.

So Jia Tianmu circled, retrieved the two puppets captured by the Jiao Chi people, collected the humanoid puppet, and with Han Li, flew toward the end of the sky.

A golden and a green rainbow flashed a few times, and then vanished without a trace at the edge of the sky.

(End of chapter)

The several types of special spirit stones used by his puppets had all exhausted their spiritual power. Without the protection of an expert like Han Li, it would be impossible for a mere third-tier existence of the Upper Clans to sneak into the teleportation array.

Thus, Jia Tianmu immediately circled around, retrieved the two puppets that had been captured by the Jiao Chi, put away the humanoid puppet, and took Han Li with him, flying toward the edge of the sky to escape.

One golden and one green streak of light flashed a few times before disappearing into the horizon without a trace.
