Chapter 1786: First Layer of Refining God

Han Li swept his spiritual sense over a radius of hundreds of li, and after confirming that there was indeed no cultivator hiding and refusing to leave, he raised his escape light and shot toward the mountainside.

With a gathering of cyan light, Han Li appeared in front of a cyan stone wall.

After looking at the stone wall with blue light flashing in his eyes, he shook his storage bracelet, and several balls of cyan light flew out, flashing and turning into several tall ape-shaped puppets.

Without Han Li needing to give any orders, these puppets raised their arms, and their ten fingers immediately sprayed cyan light a foot long, rushing toward the stone wall.

With the cyan light flashing, the hard stone wall was cut through like tofu, and in the blink of an eye, a giant door about ten zhang high appeared.

Several puppets moved their bodies and entered the door first.

At this time, Han Li ignored these puppets, but with a movement in his sleeve, a ball of golden light shot out, and after circling, a small beast a foot long appeared on the ground in front of him.

The small beast had golden glistening fur, and at first glance, it looked like a young leopard.

It was none other than the Leopard-Lin Beast!

Golden light flashed on the beast's body, and its size expanded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it became a zhang huge, with fangs exposed, strange black patterns appearing on its body, and a pair of silver short horns a few inches long growing on its head for no reason.

It emitted an indescribable terrifying aura.

"Patrol nearby, don't let anyone approach the mountain peak," Han Li instructed.

The giant Leopard-Lin Beast let out a roar, black energy suddenly appeared on its four feet, and it flashed into the ground, disappearing.

Han Li sat cross-legged on the spot, waiting for the cave to be opened.

The Leopard-Lin Beast becoming like this was also somewhat beyond his expectations.

The reason for this was the King-level Dark Beast inner core the beast had taken in the Vast Cold Realm.

When the beast took this core, it actually slept for more than ten years before waking up.

And as soon as the beast woke up, its cultivation advanced greatly, easily advancing to the Spirit Transformation realm, and its appearance also became the ferocious look in front of him.

Han Li naturally marveled at this.

However, the beast itself possessed a trace of the Qilin True Spirit bloodline, and after taking that King-level Dark Beast demon core, it seemed not unacceptable to have such an astonishing change when it reached adulthood.

And the Leopard-Lin Beast's potential seemed not to have been exhausted yet.

In the following decades, under Han Li's cultivation with a large amount of spiritual pills, the beast advanced again a few years ago, entering the mid-Spirit Transformation stage and gaining several powerful divine abilities.

According to Han Li's estimation, ordinary late Spirit Transformation cultivators were no longer the beast's match.

And the Leopard-Lin Beast's appearance had only just begun to enter adulthood.

This made him look forward to the beast's future growth.

And now that he had released the beast, he was naturally very relieved.

As long as it was not a Saint-stage cultivator of the Body Integration stage, no one could approach this mountain peak.

Thinking about this, Han Li slowly closed his eyes.

A few hours later, several giant ape puppets finally finished opening the cave and walked out of the door one after another.

Han Li opened his eyes, flicked his sleeve, and these puppets turned into several balls of cyan light and entered his sleeve.

Then he stood up, flipped his hand, and a stack of array flags appeared in his hand.

With a raise of his hand, dozens of spiritual lights of different colors shot toward the surroundings, disappearing into the void in a flash.

Countless balls of white misty fog appeared out of thin air and spread out.

In a short while, the entire mountain peak and everything within a hundred li nearby turned into a vast sea of fog, and nothing could be seen clearly anymore.

Seeing this, Han Li pinched an incantation with one hand, grabbed the void, and with a flash of white light, a circular array disc the size of a palm appeared in his hand.

"Restrict"

Han Li pointed a finger at the array disc and let out a low shout.

Suddenly, hundreds of silver runes the size of a bucket appeared in the fog, but after spinning, they disappeared in a flash.

Han Li put away the array disc and walked toward the entrance on the stone wall.

As soon as his body entered, he shook his sleeve, and a cyan stone door fell from the top, sealing the door completely.

The spiritual light on the surface of the stone door flashed wildly, and it merged with the nearby stone wall, so that even at a close distance, no abnormality could be seen.

Because the cave was originally opened by Han Li manipulating puppets, he naturally knew the entire cave like the back of his hand.

Without saying a word, he went to the herb garden first to plant some spiritual herbs. Then he set up several small restrictions in the cave and went straight to the secret room.

But when he saw the secret room stone door after a few turns, he suddenly patted his waist.

A faint white shadow flew out, and a beautiful white-clothed woman appeared in front of him, heroic and spirited, emitting a faint cold air.

It was the spirit-communicating puppet "Doll."

This "Doll" was also somewhat different from before, not only with a blue bead the size of a thumb between her brows, half of which was directly embedded, but also with her eyes turning slightly, her gaze being a few points more flexible than before.

This was naturally the effect brought by the "Li Water Bead."

After nearly a hundred years of nourishment by the strange treasure, "Doll's" puppet body became exceptionally cold, as if it were truly changing bit by bit toward a Li Water body.

Although this change was not very obvious, and it took nearly a hundred years to see a little bit, it also made Han Li very satisfied.

Moreover, "Doll's" spirituality actually seemed to have increased slightly during the change.

This was naturally another unexpected gain.

At this moment, Han Li's spiritual sense moved, and after giving some simple orders to the woman, he flashed into the secret room.

With a raise of his hand, a pale yellow cushion flew out.

He sat cross-legged on the cushion, closed his eyes, and remained motionless, only occasionally seeing a layer of crystal cyan light flowing on his face.

Han Li entered meditation for three days and three nights, during which he did not open his eyes once.

During this period, the outside of the small mountain range where he was located became restless.

So many cultivators were forcibly expelled by him, some naturally flew away, and some took refuge with close friends in nearby mountains.

Other cultivators in the nearby territory naturally knew about this immediately, and all knew that a formidable high-level cultivator had appeared nearby, whose divine abilities were unfathomable, and who could easily restrict Nascent Soul-level existences with just spiritual sense force, seemingly a high-level cultivator of the Void Refinement stage.

As a result, these cultivators were naturally terrified for a while, fearing that this "Senior" would also come to their door.

Not long after, they learned the news that the area where Han Li was located was completely covered by white fog, and their hearts were relieved.

They knew that this high-level existence did not intend to occupy other areas, and it seemed that he only needed such a small place.

Although they were still somewhat uneasy in their hearts, they didn't have to move away from their current caves.

And on the morning of the fourth day, Han Li's body moved slightly, the cyan light on his face condensed, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

Only two dazzling blue lights flashed, and then they disappeared in a flash.

Han Li let out a long breath.

After three days of rest, he finally made his spirit and magic power incomparably abundant, and the fatigue accumulated from long-distance travel was all gone.

Now he could finally do serious business.

After a moment of thought on his face, he flipped his hand, and a delicate jade slip appeared in his hand.

This jade slip was peculiar, not only emitting faint golden light, but also expanding and contracting in his palm as if it had spirituality, as if it would fly away if he couldn't hold it steady.

Han Li didn't care at all, squeezed it with five fingers, stuck the jade slip to his forehead, and closed his eyes again.

Time passed bit by bit, and after an unknown amount of time, Han Li sighed lightly and moved the jade slip away.

Then he opened his eyes, his face full of thought!

This jade slip naturally contained the "Refining God Technique" full of golden seal scripts.

This divine technique was divided into three layers, and even if only the first layer was successfully cultivated, it could increase spiritual sense by more than two times.

Such an unbelievable increase, coupled with Han Li's own powerful spiritual sense that far exceeded existences of the same tier, if he could successfully cultivate it, the obstacles when breaking through the Body Integration bottleneck could almost be reduced by half immediately. It was several times stronger than any spiritual pill.

Therefore, when Han Li obtained this scripture, he began to comprehend it immediately. After teleporting from the Thunderous Continent, he did not hesitate to start cultivating this technique.

During the return journey of more than a hundred years, except for the research of some other secret techniques, he put most of his mind into this technique.

The first layer of the Refining God Technique was not difficult to say, nor was it easy.

The reason for saying so was naturally that there were very few people in the Spirit Realm who met the cultivation conditions. Those who did not meet the conditions had no possibility of successfully cultivating this divine technique, and even if they forced themselves to cultivate it, they would eventually explode and die from the powerful backlash.

With Han Li's spiritual sense power and physical strength, it was enough to cultivate the first layer.

Therefore, after more than a hundred years of cultivation, Han Li had thoroughly comprehended the first layer of the Refining God Technique and cultivated it to the point of being only one step away.

Because this technique was a secret technique of the Immortal Realm written in golden seal scripts, according to the scripture, every time a layer was successfully cultivated, it would produce a celestial phenomenon with considerable momentum.

Therefore, when taking the last step, it was best to find a secret place, and it was best if there were no powerful existences nearby.

Although Han Li had already completed the first layer of the Refining God Technique a few years ago, he was in the wild at that time, and if he really attracted any powerful ancient beasts, his life would be in danger.

Now that he was in the human race and in such a remote place, he could naturally cultivate the first layer of the Refining God Technique to completion.

As for his sigh just now, it was because the second layer of the Refining God Technique was far more profound than the first layer, and it was extremely difficult to comprehend it thoroughly. Without hundreds of years of dedicated research, it was impossible to even think about it.

Not to mention the harsh conditions required to cultivate the second layer of the Refining God Technique.

With a shake of his hand, the jade slip between his fingers disappeared in a flash.

He then took out several jade bottles of different sizes, poured out some medicinal pills and took them, then shook his sleeve, and nine silver-glowing circular discs flew out, circling around his body before hovering quietly without moving.

Han Li's expression was solemn, he pinched an ancient incantation with both hands, and golden light suddenly shone from his body.

A golden phantom with three heads and six arms appeared behind him in a flash.
