Han Li flicked his ten fingers repeatedly, shooting out streaks of five-colored magic arts toward the light barrier.

After each streak flashed and vanished, the silver light would flicker violently.

After a moment, the light barrier began to boil as if cold water had been dripped into a pot of oil; countless talismans emerged and began to arrange and rotate in a regular pattern.

Han Li stared at the light barrier without blinking, his hands never ceasing their magic arts for a moment.

Suddenly, with a low shout and another wave of his sleeve, dozens of formation flags shot out from within; after circling once, they arranged themselves into a strange formation above the light barrier.

As all the formation flags hummed, they swayed slightly while simultaneously emitting lights of various colors.

Han Li gave a low shout and pointed a finger solemnly toward the air.

"Puchi!"

As all the formation flags shone brilliantly, their spiritual lights intertwined and flickered, forming an exceptionally complex light formation in the air, which began to rotate slowly in the low altitude.

"Go!"

A blue light flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he pointed his finger at the Vast Cold Token once more.

Immediately, the token trembled, transformed into a streak of gold and silver light, and vanished into a certain spot within the light formation.

The next moment, a strange aura emanated from the light formation, followed by a series of chirping sounds as a gold and silver light pillar shot out from the center of the formation, striking exactly upon the silver light barrier.

The originally motionless light barrier, upon contact with this light pillar, actually emitted a strange "chi-la" sound and began to melt like snow under the spring sun.

But after a moment, the talismans around the light barrier surged toward the spot where the light pillar fell, causing the melting to stagnate and even gradually thicken once again.

Seeing this, Han Li was not angry but happy instead.

He brushed his hand over his storage bracelet, and two more clusters of gold and silver light flew out, revealing two other identical, ancient-looking tokens.

They were actually two more Vast Cold Tokens!

One of them was naturally the token he had privately kept for himself back then, while the other was one he had searched from the body of the Rong clansman wearing a bamboo hat, whom he had taken into his Meta-Magnetic Mountain.

That the person among this team of Rong clansmen who had refined the Vast Cold Token was not the most powerful Rong warrior actually surprised Han Li quite a bit.

After looting everything from the storage bracelets of the two Rong clansmen he had taken into the Meta-Magnetic Mountain, he had reduced them to ashes using his Soul-Devouring True Fire.

Now, as soon as the two Vast Cold Tokens were unleashed, Han Li flicked his fingers, and they similarly trembled as they vanished into the light formation on the light barrier.

The light formation shook violently, and a thunderous rumbling sound erupted.

The gold and silver light pillar erupting from the light formation became more than three times thicker than before.

The silver light barrier, which had originally been able to barely hold its ground, now boiled violently with its various talismans under such immense power, and it began to melt and dissolve once again.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, amidst Han Li's expectant gaze, a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering loud bang erupted.

The silver light barrier finally collapsed and dissipated; after flickering a few times, it vanished completely.

Han Li was overjoyed; he formed a magic art with one hand and pointed at the light formation in the air.

With a muffled thud, the light formation collapsed and vanished, reverting back into individual formation flags and three tokens.

With another flick of his sleeve toward the air, a green mist rolled out, instantly sweeping away all the formation flags and tokens.

Han Li shifted his gaze toward the golden characters on the stone wall below, which had become exceptionally clear; even though his heart was usually as calm as water, he could not help but reveal an excited expression on his face.

I do not know how much time passed, but a green rainbow flew out from the great canyon; then, after circling once in the air, a black mountain peak flew out from the green rainbow, and with a sway, it transformed into a massive size identical to a real mountain, smashing down toward the canyon below.

Several earth-shaking loud bangs followed one after another.

As the entire canyon was smashed wildly by the black giant peak, after a heaven-collapsing and earth-splitting tremor, it was forcibly lowered by several dozen zhang.

This section of the canyon was almost forcibly leveled.

As the green light converged, Han Li's figure appeared in the air.

He looked faintly at the canyon below and, seemingly casually, grabbed toward it with one hand.

The giant mountain peak let out a roar, rapidly shrank into a streak of black light, and flew back, vanishing into Han Li's sleeve in a flash.

With green light shining brightly on his body, he transformed back into a green rainbow and tore through the air, departing.

One day later, on an island in an endless lake, an old man and a young woman were sitting cross-legged on a verdant mountain peak, both with their eyes closed.

Both of them had solemn expressions; one had spiritual light flickering incessantly on his body, while the other had wisps of white mist circling and dancing around her.

Suddenly, the woman's expression stirred, and the white mist nearby dissipated instantly.

Almost at the same time, the spiritual light on the old man's body converged, and he also opened his eyes with a slight change in expression.

The two were naturally Elder Xu and Lady Yin Yue.

"It seems someone is coming. Could it be Fellow Daoist Han?" the woman murmured, but she seemed somewhat uncertain.

"It is possible. But Fellow Daoist Han has been gone for less than two days; even if his divine abilities are great, he shouldn't have succeeded so easily. After all, there were more than a dozen existences of the same stage as us over there." The old man also found it somewhat unbelievable.

"It's hard to say who is coming, but whether it is Fellow Daoist Han, we will know soon." Lady Yin Yue's eyes flashed, and she raised one hand; a cluster of white silk flew out, transforming into a white light screen that shrouded her body.

In an instant, the woman's figure and the light screen vanished, hidden simultaneously.

The old man also nodded, flipped one hand, and a cyan banner appeared in his hand; with a sway, it also vanished within the green light.

The vast mountain peak suddenly became empty.

After a moment, spiritual light flashed on the horizon in one direction, and a green rainbow appeared, shooting straight toward the island.

After the green rainbow circled once, it landed on the verdant mountain peak on the island; as the light converged, Han Li's figure appeared.

After scanning the surroundings with a faint blue light in his eyes, Han Li smiled.

"Two fellow daoists, I have already obtained the cultivation technique and returned; why don't you reveal yourselves quickly?"

"It really is Brother Han!"

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Han!"

The surprised voices of Lady Yin Yue and Elder Xu rang out almost simultaneously; then, amidst the flashing of green and white light, their figures appeared nearby at the same time.

Both of them had expressions of great joy.

"Brother Han, you really have obtained all the cultivation techniques of the Spirit Refining Art." The woman still couldn't quite believe it, her voice trembling slightly.

"Hehe, naturally. If you don't believe me, Fellow Daoists, feel free to take a look first." Han Li smiled slightly, waved his hand, and a green jade slip shot out from his hand.

Lady Yin Yue was startled, but she couldn't help but raise her hand involuntarily, taking the jade slip into her hand; a hint of hesitation appeared in her beautiful eyes.

That Han Li had given her the cultivation technique so easily really surprised her too much.

Elder Xu, standing to the side, also looked quite surprised.

Han Li, however, ignored their astonished gazes and just kept smiling faintly without a word.

"Then this little sister will not be polite!" Lady Yin Yue steadied her mind, scanned the jade slip in her hand with her spiritual sense, and after confirming there were no unusual restrictions, she put away the surprise on her face and, without further thought, placed the jade slip against her forehead, beginning to carefully examine the contents recorded within.

That she claimed to understand Seal Script seemed to be true after all.

After a moment, the woman's expression began to change bit by bit, occasionally revealing contemplation and a hint of joy.

But after a full cup of tea's time, Lady Yin Yue's expression began to turn solemn, and in the end, she looked somewhat suspicious and uncertain.

Seeing this expression on the woman, Elder Xu stroked his beard, his eyes flashing a few times.

Exhaling a breath, the woman lowered her jade arm, moved the jade slip away from her forehead, and gave a faint, bitter smile to Han Li and the old man.

"Fellow Daoist Yue, is there something wrong? Is the Seal Script in the secret cave not the Spirit Refining Art?" Elder Xu couldn't help but ask.

"The cultivation technique is real, and it is indeed that Spirit Refining secret art. It's just that after this little sister took a rough look, I discovered that the cultivation conditions are extremely harsh; for us in the Spirit Realm, I'm afraid there are simply not many people who can cultivate it. This is also understandable; this cultivation technique was originally supposed to be a secret art of the True Immortal Realm, so it is normal that it is not suitable for us. However, the jade slip only contains the first half of the cultivation technique; perhaps there is some other solution in the second half!" Lady Yin Yue looked at Han Li and said slowly with deep meaning.

Hearing Han Li say this, Elder Xu's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Han Li as well.

Han Li frowned, but immediately returned to normal and said faintly:

"That's right, this indeed only contains half of the cultivation technique. After the two fellow daoists impart the Seal Script to me, I will hand over the other half to you two. Brother Xu, Lady Yin Yue, what do you think?"

"Haha, of course there is no problem. This old man and Fellow Daoist Yue originally promised to impart this True Script to Brother Han in exchange for the cultivation technique. However, the Seal Script is exceptionally profound and can only be taught orally; I'm afraid it will take some time to learn." After laughing, Elder Xu agreed immediately.

"Since Brother Han has retrieved the cultivation technique, this little sister will naturally keep my promise. However, this place is too close to the secret cave; let us find another safe place to impart the spiritual script to Brother Han." Hearing Han Li's condition, Lady Yin Yue smiled sweetly.

"Lady Yin Yue's words are reasonable; let us set off immediately." Han Li smiled and nodded in agreement.

Thus, after the three of them discussed a few more words, they all raised their escape lights and transformed into three streaks of light, shooting straight toward the horizon.

Five days after Han Li and the others left the island, more than a dozen Rong clansmen, all covered in long hair, appeared above the great canyon in the distance.

An old man with a human face, who was the leader, looked at the canyon below that had been almost leveled, his face as gloomy as water.

At this time, Han Li and the three were already hiding in a small mountain range tens of thousands of miles away.

In a large hall carved out inside the mountain, the three sat down cross-legged separately.

Relying on his spiritual sense, which was far beyond those of the same stage, Han Li, under the day-and-night alternating instruction of the two, mastered all the Seal Script in just half a month.

Feeling that he had mastered it, Han Li very straightforwardly handed over the second half of the Spirit Refining Art cultivation technique.

Elder Xu and Lady Yin Yue were overjoyed; after each copied their own portion, they immediately bid farewell to Han Li and went their separate ways.

Now that there was not much time left before the Vast Cold Realm closed, they naturally began to look for other secret places, preparing to go into seclusion to break through their bottlenecks.
