Chapter 1772
During the final period of the Vast Cold Realm's opening, Han Li did not cultivate or prepare to break through any bottlenecks; instead, he found another desolate mountain and, using the newly learned Seal Script, contemplated the secret technique of the Spirit Refining Art. Net
In the previous ruins' restrictions, he had been infused with that mysterious energy, yet he still failed to break through to the Body Integration stage. Naturally, it was even more impossible to break through the bottleneck using ordinary methods.
After all, he had advanced two levels in a row; both the refinement of his magic power and his state of mind required a long period of tempering before he could truly have the opportunity to break through to Body Integration.
As for the other alien clansmen who entered this realm, which one of them hadn't lingered at the peak of Void Refinement for hundreds or even thousands of years, feeling that they could no longer make a breakthrough in the Spirit Realm, before risking entry into the Vast Cold Realm?
Of course, according to rumors, during the time the Vast Cold Realm is open, the closer it gets to the last month or two, the denser the spiritual energy of the realm's spiritual veins becomes. The probability of breaking through a bottleneck at this time increases more or less.
Therefore, alien clansmen who enter this realm generally either go into seclusion for hard cultivation during the first year to prepare for the final stage of the breakthrough, or they use the first part of the time to frantically collect various rare materials in the Vast Cold Realm that cannot be found in the outside world.
There is a third type, which naturally includes people like Lady Yin Yue who entered this realm with other purposes.
However, no matter which type of person they are, they will begin to impact the Body Integration bottleneck in the last month or two.
Things like Han Li, who originally did not have the cultivation of the late Void Refinement stage but advanced two levels in a row in the Vast Cold Realm to enter the late stage, are unprecedented and will likely never be seen again. Naturally, they are a different matter!
However, the Seal Script was indeed exceptionally profound; even though Han Li spent over a month, he had only just understood a small portion of the content, figuring out the simplest part.
This part contained many praises and explanations of the Spirit Refining Art.
But even so, it made Han Li understand why Lady Yin Yue had smiled bitterly at this cultivation technique that day and sighed that it was difficult to cultivate.
According to the Seal Script, the Spirit Refining Art seems to be an extraordinary great divine ability even in the True Immortal Realm, and it even integrates some laws of heaven and earth into the cultivation technique; once cultivated to success, one's spiritual sense will instantly increase by an unimaginable margin.
This cultivation technique is divided into three layers in total.
Success in the first layer can increase spiritual sense by two times; success in the second layer can increase it by four times; success in the third layer can increase it by more than eight times.
Such a terrifying increase made Han Li feel greatly shocked, and he mostly believed that this Spirit Refining Art was indeed an extraordinary cultivation technique even in the True Immortal Realm.
However, even though this cultivation technique is so powerful, as Lady Yin Yue said earlier, the conditions for cultivating it are extremely harsh.
This cultivation technique does not have many conditions, and it only requires a cultivation of Spirit Severing or above to cultivate, but its only prerequisite is that the physical body and spiritual sense must be strong enough to withstand the domineering backlash of the cultivation technique.
After all, the consequence of a sudden increase in spiritual sense is that as long as the cultivator's physical body or spiritual sense fails to meet the conditions, they will immediately explode and die.
According to the description of the cultivation technique, to begin cultivating the first layer, one's spiritual sense must be more than twice as strong as that of ordinary existences of the same stage. The requirements for the physical body are even harsher; even extreme alien existences of the same stage who specialize in physical cultivation barely meet the conditions.
If one only chooses one of the two, although there are very few who meet the criteria, one can still find some.
As for those who meet both, one cannot say there are none in the Spirit Realm, but they are definitely as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
After all, for ordinary cultivators, spiritual sense is definitely much weaker than the physical body.
Extreme existences who specialize in body tempering, without the support of magic power, will definitely not have a very strong spiritual sense either.
As for the requirements for the second and third layers, they are even more heaven-defying.
Lady Yin Yue is the type of person who specializes in magic power, so when she first saw these conditions, she naturally felt greatly disappointed.
However, just as the woman had guessed earlier, at the very end of the scripture, a solution to this method was indeed given. It provided two pill formulas that had never been heard of before.
One is called "Migang Pill," and the other is called "Soul-Condensing Pill."
According to what is written, of the two types of pills, one can increase spiritual sense, and the other can improve the physical body; after taking both pills together for a long time, the cultivator can slowly meet the conditions for cultivating the Spirit Refining Art.
Such miraculous spiritual pills are naturally not things of the Spirit Realm.
Even though the two pill formulas were written in great detail, and even the refining steps were explained, not a single one of the main materials used was something Han Li had ever heard of. Trying to refine these two spiritual pills in the Spirit Realm was simply a fantasy.
After Han Li finished reading the conditions for cultivating the Spirit Refining Art, he felt shocked but also breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked the path of dual cultivation of magic and body; his spiritual sense was far beyond those of the same stage due to the Great Expansion Sword Art he had cultivated earlier. And the consumption of the Brahma Saint True Devil Art, plus other body-tempering spiritual medicines, had also made his physical body strong to an unimaginable degree.
Therefore, there is no need to mention the first layer; he could cultivate it at his current stage.
As for the second layer, as long as he cultivated the first layer of the Spirit Refining Art, his increased spiritual sense should barely meet the conditions; as for the physical body, unless he cultivated the Brahma Saint True Devil Art to the extreme and had some other opportunities, it was not impossible to meet the requirements.
As for the conditions for the third layer, Han Li could only touch his chin and smile bitterly.
Regardless, the Spirit Refining Art could increase spiritual sense by more than a fold, so its usefulness was self-evident.
Not to mention anything else, after cultivating the first layer, Han Li estimated that he would have at least two more tenths of certainty in advancing to the Body Integration stage.
Just like this, time passed bit by bit as Han Li contemplated the Seal Script.
This day, while Han Li was meditating in the mountain belly, he suddenly heard a humming sound coming from his storage bracelet.
He was startled and hurriedly opened his eyes, scanning toward his wrist.
He saw that with a sway in the storage bracelet, three clusters of gold and silver spiritual light flew out on their own.
They were exactly the three Vast Cold Tokens.
The three tokens swayed slightly, and right under his eyes, they transformed into specks of spiritual light and vanished.
Han Li felt a chill in his heart, and then he felt the ground tremble slightly, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth nearby became chaotic.
"Could it be that the time has come!"
He murmured in a low voice, spiritual light flashed on his body, and he transformed into a green rainbow and flew away.
After a moment, the escape light converged above the desolate mountain, and Han Li's figure appeared, looking up with a solemn expression.
At this time, above the Vast Cold Realm, five-colored clouds were rolling and emerging, gusts of wind were howling incessantly, and the ground was trembling continuously; mountain rocks of various sizes were rolling down from the mountains, and some tall trees were also swaying in the tremors.
Various birds and beasts near the desolate mountain were rushing out of their nests, running frantically toward the open ground.
Han Li stood with his hands behind his back, closed his eyes slowly, and sensed the astonishing turbulence of the heaven and earth spiritual energy nearby, his expression becoming solemn.
According to what others had said before entering the Vast Cold Realm, this kind of celestial omen was the sign that the Vast Cold Realm was about to close.
At most, after half a day, they, these outsiders, would be forcibly expelled by the laws of this realm.
Because they had left their own imprints on the magic formation at the departure point and carried special magic tools that could echo with the magic formation, they would be sent directly back to the departure point by the interface power when returning.
While Han Li was silently contemplating his various gains in the Vast Cold Realm, he was continuously sensing the astonishing celestial phenomena as heaven and earth changed color.
Suddenly, his expression stirred, and he opened his eyes with surprise, looking toward a certain direction.
He saw that in the low altitude where the five-colored clouds were rolling, light flashed, and two escape lights, one gold and one white, were shooting straight toward his direction.
The two escape lights were swaying, and their colors looked very dim.
But the white escape light behind was clearly a notch stronger than the golden light in front, and it was desperately chasing the former.
And the golden light in front gave Han Li a rather familiar feeling.
A blue light flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he saw clearly what was in the two escape lights, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.
In the golden light in front, a golden giant wolf was driving its magic power to flee frantically, its fur tattered; it was exactly the King-level Dark Beast he had already encountered twice.
In the white light chasing closely behind, it was a white tiger-like monster with wings on its back, also looking tattered, but it was still desperately chasing the golden Dark Beast in front.
As the two beasts fled and chased, and their own original energy was greatly damaged, Han Li hid his own aura so that it was almost non-existent, and the two did not discover Han Li in the distance for a while.
Han Li's eyes flashed, his mind turned rapidly, and before he had figured out how to face this unexpected event, a low roar suddenly came from his sleeve.
The roar was full of anxiety and urgency! It was the sound made by the Leopard-Scaled Beast suddenly from its spirit beast bag, looking exceptionally excited about the arrival of the two beasts in the distance.
Sensing the abnormality of the Leopard-Scaled Beast, Han Li felt a stir in his heart; naturally, he remembered the strange changes that had appeared in this beast after it swallowed those high-tier Dark Beast demon cores back then, which he still hadn't figured out.
Immediately, the look in his eyes toward the golden light in the distance gradually turned cold.
With a thunderclap, a pair of feathered wings appeared behind Han Li.
With one flap, he transformed into a streak of green and white light and vanished without a trace.
The next moment, above the King-level Dark Beast, space fluctuated, and a giant golden shadow with three heads and six arms appeared in a flash.
As the golden shadow's six arms moved, six golden light pillars erupted; their speed was so fast that almost as soon as he made a move, the light pillars reached the front of the golden Dark Beast the next moment.
Originally, with the terrifying stage of this Dark Beast at the early Body Integration stage, even if these light pillar attacks were unexpected, it would have had a way to dodge them.
But this beast was already near the end of its rope, with less than one-tenth of its original magic power remaining; even though it tried its best to dodge in a panic, it only managed to avoid half of the attacks, and three golden light pillars still struck it in a flash.
A thunderous roar erupted, and the blinding golden light instantly submerged the Dark Beast's figure.
Following this, space high in the air fluctuated again, and a thousand-zhang black giant mountain and a silver giant ruler appeared in a flash, falling downward simultaneously without hesitation.
