Chapter 1639: Yue Sect

Seeing this, Han Li's brows twitched. With a single hand, he formed a spell seal and urged his spiritual sense.

The Spirit-Devouring Fire Bird let out a cry of unwillingness and flew near the liquid fire, but it only circled above and below it.

Before truly deciding the use for this flawed Heavenly Fire Liquid, he naturally would not let the Spirit-Devouring Fire Bird swallow it blindly.

The only reason he released this fire was to have it cooperate and test the efficacy of the Heavenly Fire Liquid.

Han Li's ten fingers danced rapidly, flicking spell seals of various colors toward the liquid fire.

Some of these spell seals vanished in a flash as they entered the liquid fire. Others flashed with red light but were bounced off the surface of the liquid fire. Still others, upon contact, erupted with muffled, thunder-like rumbles.

Seeing the different phenomena caused by each spell seal, the expression on Han Li's face shifted uncertainly.

When the final white spell seal struck the liquid fire, erupting into clusters of white mist,

Han Li's ten fingers paused. He stopped his current actions, rubbed his chin, and revealed a thoughtful expression.

But only a moment later, he suddenly flipped one hand, and a set of exceptionally exquisite formation flags appeared in his palm.

They were only a few inches in size, exceptionally delicate.

With a flick of his hand, the formation flags transformed into several streaks of spiritual light that shot out, but immediately flickered and vanished into thin air.

Replacing them, a light formation about a zhang in size appeared in front of Han Li.

This light formation was divided into five colors, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, resembling a giant funnel.

Near the light formation, runes of various sizes emerged and flickered, appearing exceptionally profound.

Han Li let out a low shout, and with one hand, he made a grabbing and releasing motion toward the liquid fire in the void.

That cluster of crimson liquid was instantly snatched into the light formation out of thin air.

The moment the liquid fire entered the light formation, the previously motionless formation emitted a low humming sound.

Following this, a five-colored light screen rippled across its surface, instantly submerging the entire formation within it.

Han Li's expression remained unchanged as his ten fingers simultaneously flicked toward the light formation.

"Pu pu" sounds of air being pierced rang out as slender crystal threads flicked out from his fingertips, vanishing into the light screen in front of him in a flash.

Han Li's ten fingers then curled slightly.

The crystal threads instantly became exceptionally straight!

As he chanted, a strange light flowed motionlessly across the surface of the crystal threads, as if something was being transmitted from the direction of the light formation.

Han Li stared at these crystal threads without blinking.

What he was performing now was a unique secret technique left behind by Elder Elder Dayan. It could cleverly combine the power of spiritual sense with a formation.

Besides magnifying the power of spiritual sense within the formation, this secret technique had other incredible effects that could act directly upon items within the formation.

Under Han Li's secret urging, the ten crystal threads formed by spiritual sense began to tremble slightly.

At the same time, the strange light on the surface of these threads flickered between dim and bright.

If anyone's gaze could pierce through the five-colored light screen on the formation, they would be able to see clearly.

At the center of the light formation, that cluster of Glazed Heavenly Fire Liquid was spinning rapidly.

Near it, countless runes of different sizes were desperately throwing themselves into the liquid fire, while other runes surged wildly out from the liquid fire.

This constant exchange caused the surface of the entire cluster of liquid fire to churn with red light, as if it were boiling.

After a full meal's time, Han Li's expression stirred, as if he had reached some result. But after hesitating for a moment, he shook his ten fingers, and the ten crystal threads simultaneously shattered and broke.

Next, Han Li formed a spell seal with one hand.

The light formation hummed loudly!

As the five-colored light rays churned, a cluster of liquid fire, much smaller in volume than before, shot up from the light and flew out of the light screen.

Han Li's expression was solemn as he pointed remotely at this cluster of liquid fire!

The Spirit-Devouring Fire Bird, which had been circling nearby, flickered and appeared strangely near the liquid fire, opening its beak to swallow it into its belly.

With a happy, clear cry, the firebird turned and flew straight toward Han Li, then transformed into a ball of fire and merged into Han Li's body, disappearing from sight.

Han Li took a deep breath and suddenly flicked one of his sleeves forward.

Instantly, a sheet of green light rolled out.

After a "peng" sound, wherever the green light passed, the five-colored light screen dissipated, revealing the light formation inside.

Han Li, expressionless, beckoned toward the light formation with one hand.

After several "sou sou" sounds, several streaks of spiritual light shot out from the light formation, and only upon reaching in front of Han Li did they pause and transform back into several formation flags, drifting down.

With a flick of his large sleeve, these formation flags vanished amidst flickering spiritual light.

The light formation in the distance also dissipated silently and without a trace.

A moment later, only a fist-sized amount of liquid fire remained, floating quietly in mid-air.

Han Li beckoned toward the liquid fire, and a milky-white jade bottle flashed above it.

The bottle mouth flipped over, and a sheet of light sprayed out, sucking all of the Heavenly Fire Liquid into the bottle in one go.

After putting the bottle away, Han Li closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the ground, not moving at all.

Watching him, his brows furrowed from time to time, and his expression shifted between light and shadow, as if he were pondering some difficult problem.

After a short while, he opened his eyes with a calm expression, tilted his head, and suddenly extended a palm.

With a "pu chi" sound, a ball of silver fire appeared.

Han Li narrowed his eyes; red light flickered within the silver flames, and a wisp of crimson flame appeared strangely.

After staring deeply at it, Han Li suddenly opened his mouth and sprayed out a ball of green light.

An incredible scene occurred.

The silver flame, which was originally only fist-sized, burst open the moment it touched the green light.

Then, after the light converged, a silver fireball ten times larger than the original appeared there.

Seeing this, Han Li nodded, then opened his mouth and inhaled.

The giant fireball instantly transformed into a stream of silver flames, which he inhaled completely.

"It seems they didn't lie; this flawed product really does have all the main effects of the true Glazed Heavenly Fire Liquid. The only problem is that it seems to be mixed with several unknown impurities. I don't know if there will be any issues, or if it can truly satisfy that person. However, after devouring this thing, the Spirit-Devouring Heavenly Fire has gained the ability to borrow pure spiritual energy to temporarily boost its power. As long as there is enough spiritual power, its power can completely double when facing an enemy." Han Li muttered to himself.

For the remaining time, Han Li continued to sit quietly for a while, pondering what he had seen and heard at the Four Races Auction. Feeling that he hadn't done anything wrong, he let out a long breath.

He suddenly took out a medicine bottle from his robes, poured out a Tenglong Pill, and swallowed it.

Afterward, Han Li began to meditate and cultivate!

The opening time of the Vast Cold Realm was not fixed; it could be as long as a hundred years, or as soon as a few years away.

He naturally had to seize every moment to cultivate.

Even if he didn't intend to use the spiritual energy of the Vast Cold Realm to break through his bottleneck, increasing his cultivation base and divine abilities beforehand would make him one point safer when entering the Vast Cold Realm.

Three months later, still in the same secret room, Han Li had the Brahma Saint True Demon Dharma Image behind him, cultivating with his hands forming spell seals.

But a moment later, his expression suddenly stirred, the golden light on his body converged, and he actually ended his cultivation.

He flicked his sleeve, and a jade-plate-like object flew out, flickering with spiritual light. After circling once, it landed in his palm.

It was surprisingly a Ten Thousand Mile Talisman! Under the spiritual light on its surface, several lines of text the size of ants were emerging.

Han Li brought it before his eyes, scanned it, and his gaze flickered.

"It has actually opened! It seems I need to make a trip over."

Afterward, Han Li put away the Ten Thousand Mile Talisman, stood up directly, and walked out of the secret room.

Several hours later, Han Li stepped off a beast carriage and appeared on a street he had visited once before.

He scanned the area and immediately walked toward a nearby shop.

Strangely, the shop's doors were tightly shut, and it was not open to welcome guests.

Han Li didn't care in the slightest. He walked to the door, flicked his hand, and a spell seal pierced directly through the shop door.

As a result, after a short while, the shop door opened inward on its own.

Han Li lifted his leg and entered.

Behind the door, a woman stood prettily, a crystal between her brows flickering with a faint white light.

It was precisely that Crystal Race woman named "Xianxian".

"Greetings, Senior. This junior did not expect Senior to arrive so quickly and did not go out to welcome you. I hope Senior will forgive me." Facing Han Li, Xianxian bowed with a smile.

"Hehe, whether you welcome me or not is fundamentally unimportant! Why should we cultivators be so formal? As soon as Han Mou received your message, Fellow Daoist, I rushed over immediately." Han Li said with a faint smile.

"Senior is joking! This is not a place to talk. Let us go to this junior's secret space to discuss. There is another Fellow Daoist waiting there, whom this junior would like to introduce to Senior." Xianxian smiled sweetly.

Han Li's expression stirred upon hearing this, but he nodded without saying much.

Then, he saw the woman close the shop door again, flip one hand, and produce a formation plate between her five fingers.

She formed a spell seal with one hand, began to chant, and pointed at the formation plate.

The formation plate instantly shone brightly, and a sheet of five-colored light rays rolled out in all directions.

The woman and Han Li were instantly covered in this sheet of light, and as these light rays spun, they actually transformed into a five-colored light formation.

The next moment, Han Li felt all the scenery around him blur, and he was suddenly in a gray, hazy space.

It was precisely the private space rift opened by the Crystal Race woman.

Han Li scanned the area and immediately saw a figure standing straight nearby.

"Greetings, Senior Han." The figure cupped his fists at Han Li from afar and greeted him politely.

Upon hearing this, Han Li narrowed his eyes and looked over.

He saw that the man had a sturdy build, wore black leather robes, had several faint purple scars on his face, and his eyes flickered with sharp light, revealing an aura of toughness throughout his body.

After a scan with his spiritual sense, this person had the cultivation of the mid-stage of Spirit Severing.

"How should I address you, Fellow Daoist?" Han Li walked off the teleportation formation and asked calmly.

"This junior is Yue Zong!" the scarred man replied.

"Brother Yue is the most famous demonic beast hunter in the Demon Gold Mountain Range! If we want to enter and exit this mountain range smoothly this time, we will have to rely heavily on Brother Yue's divine abilities." Xianxian, who had teleported to this space together, explained to Han Li.
