Chapter 1788: Immortal Domain and Forbidden Technique

In the center of the misty sea, the sky was still shining with silver light, and the sun was golden.

But apart from that, there were no clouds or fog, nor were there any signs of a breeze. There was no sound at all within a radius of a hundred li, as if everything had been frozen by some mysterious energy.

Time passed bit by bit, and the mysterious phenomenon in the misty sea remained unchanged.

But on the second day, some black spots appeared in the golden sun, flickering slightly.

On the third day, the spots condensed into a black shadow in the center of the sun.

On the fourth day, the black mass began to deform and elongate, becoming thinner and thinner.

On the fifth day, a thin black line appeared on the surface of the golden sun, and from a distance, it looked like a tightly closed golden giant eye.

It was extremely bizarre.

On the sixth day, all celestial phenomena remained unchanged, only the golden light emitted by the sun became more dazzling.

At noon on the seventh day, Han Li, who was sitting in the cave, opened his eyes.

At the same time, the golden giant eye formed by the sun, with its black line twisting and blurring, also opened slowly.

In the black light, a seven-colored light ball like a pupil emerged.

The surface of the light ball flowed with brilliant light, giving people an incredible feeling of seeing through everything in heaven and earth.

After a while, a long roar like a dragon's chant suddenly came from the mountain peak below, melodious and clear, shooting straight into the nine heavens.

In a certain space unknown to anyone, inside a pure white palace floating in the void, several blurred figures wrapped in spiritual light were sitting on high platforms dozens of zhang high, talking to each other from afar.

These figures were all covered by spiritual light, hiding most of their true faces, and behind each of them stood several disciples of different attire, men, women, old, and young, all exceptionally respectful.

In the center surrounded by several high platforms, a black and white strange flower a hundred zhang in diameter floated quietly in the low altitude, fragrant and mysterious.

Suddenly, a blurred figure surrounded by seven-colored spiritual light let out a light "eh," and then shouted "strange" several times.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanming, what happened? Why say such words?" Another figure shrouded in white light asked somewhat strangely.

"Someone is cultivating the 'Refining God Technique,' and the first layer has been completed, triggering the celestial phenomenon that was sensed by my monitoring immortal tool," the seven-colored figure hesitated for a moment before replying honestly.

"Refining God Technique? This technique has long been listed as a forbidden technique by all major Immortal Domains. Is there still someone who dares to risk cultivating it? Even so, just send someone to capture the cultivator. Why are you surprised, Fellow Daoist!" The figure in white light asked again, still somewhat surprised.

"If that were really the case, I naturally wouldn't say anything. The heaven and earth reaction sensed by the monitoring immortal tool comes from a small Spirit Realm, not cultivated by someone in the Immortal Domain," the seven-colored figure called Xuanming said with a bitter smile.

"Someone from the lower realm? It is indeed somewhat unexpected. It seems it must be someone who stole into the lower realm and brought this technique there. But it doesn't matter. The Refining God Technique is not easy to cultivate even for people in the Immortal Realm. A mere small Spirit Realm can never cultivate it to the final layer," the figure in white light also laughed and said.

"Hmm, that's true. Although I hold the position of monitoring, it is not someone from this Immortal Domain cultivating this technique, so I originally couldn't manage such matters. Even if this person is lucky enough to cultivate this technique, they cannot hide it from the people at the Reception Platform when they cross the tribulation and ascend," the seven-colored figure also smiled and replied.

The conversation between the two was only a few sentences. Others heard their words and began to pay a little attention, but hearing that it was a "person from the lower realm" cultivating this technique, they also did not take it to heart, and another person smiled and interjected, chatting about other matters.

The figure in seven-colored spiritual light never mentioned this matter again, as if he had truly forgotten about it completely.

Han Li let out a long breath, feeling the strange feeling brought to the whole world after his spiritual sense increased by two times, and his heart was exceptionally happy.

The first layer of the Refining God Technique was finally successfully cultivated.

Although he had not yet entered the Body Integration stage, the strength of his spiritual sense was no less than that of a late Body Integration stage master.

His spiritual sense instantly pierced through the secret room and appeared outside the mountain peak.

As a result, his brows could not help but wrinkle slightly.

The celestial phenomenon in the sky had long since disappeared and collapsed, but everything outside was in a mess.

The previous ice, snow, and strong wind were extraordinary. Most of the flowers, plants, and trees nearby not only disappeared, but the remaining grass and trees were also leaning and dying.

The upper half of the mountain peak was bare, looking exceptionally desolate.

Han Li's spiritual sense turned a few times nearby, and then swept toward the distance, instantly scanning everything within a thousand li.

Suddenly, his expression twitched, and his spiritual sense paused at a mountain peak on the edge of the misty sea, covering the entire mountain peak under it.

In a cave at the foot of the mountain, there was actually a spiritual sense fluctuation of a Void Refinement-stage cultivator.

Although there were several layers of restrictions outside this cave, in front of Han Li's powerful spiritual sense, it was like paper.

A wisp of spiritual sense condensed and directly pierced through several layers of restrictions, appearing at the place where the aura was sensed.

In a secret room, a handsome white-robed man was sitting cross-legged!

Han Li's wisp of spiritual sense did not hide, and the act of forcibly breaking through the restrictions was immediately detected by the white-robed man the moment it appeared in the secret room.

He opened his closed eyes and said with a smile:

"I am Gu Yun from Moon South Mountain. Greetings, Fellow Daoist. Congratulations on your great divine ability!"

"Moon South Mountain? Could it be the Moon South Mountain near Dust Dance City?" Han Li was startled and asked uncertainly.

"Hehe, that's right, it is this mountain. Could it be that Fellow Daoist knows our Gu family?" This time, the white-robed man was somewhat surprised.

"I don't know much about the Gu family, but I have heard of the name Moon South Mountain. So, the cultivator rumored to be living in seclusion on this mountain is a member of your Gu family," Han Li said slowly.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist should have heard of the True Spirit families, right? Our Gu family is one of the branches passed down from ancient times. In order to maintain the continuation of the bloodline, the main family rarely has contact with the outside world. Although not many people know about this, with Fellow Daoist's divine abilities, it is only a matter of time before you know about this," the white-robed man chuckled.

"True Spirit family? So, do you know about the Ye family and the Long family?" Han Li was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked another question.

"The Ye family and the Long family are the largest among the True Spirit families. Although our Gu family is not weak, compared to these two families, we are still a bit inferior. Fellow Daoist mentions these two families, could it be that you know the disciples of the two families?" The white-robed man hesitated.

"Hmm, I have indeed come into contact with disciples of the two families, but it can hardly be called a deep friendship. But Fellow Daoist suddenly appeared here and stayed without leaving, may I ask what the matter is?" Han Li asked indifferently.

"Hehe, this place is a branch opened by a disciple of the Gu family. I originally just happened to pass by this place, and I didn't expect to meet Fellow Daoist Han cultivating great divine abilities here. Out of joy, I just wanted to befriend Fellow Daoist Han," the white-robed man said with a face full of smiles.

"So that's it. Han Mou has finished cultivating now. If Fellow Daoist doesn't mind, you can come to my residence for a meeting now. I am also very curious about some things about the True Spirit families. If you and I exchange ideas, it should be quite beneficial," Han Li's voice slowed down, and he said this.

"I would be very happy to do so," the white-robed man was overjoyed and agreed immediately.

"Then Han Mou will wait for Fellow Daoist's arrival in the cave!"

Han Li's voice gradually became smaller, and a moment later, his spiritual sense collapsed and disappeared in the secret room.

A cup of tea's time later, a white rainbow shot out from below the mountain, and after a few flashes, it arrived at the edge of the misty sea ten li away.

Several bucket-sized silver runes flashed on the originally motionless misty sea, and the misty sea suddenly rolled and split into two.

A channel several zhang wide appeared, leading straight to the depths of the misty sea.

Gu Yun did not hesitate at all, flew into it with his escape light, and after a few flashes, the white rainbow disappeared into the depths of the channel.

At this moment, the separated fog rolled and merged again as before.

When Gu Yun flew to the mountain peak in the center of the misty sea, Han Li had already walked out of the cave gate, waiting there with a smile.

Seeing that Han Li was indeed a late Void Refinement-stage cultivator as he had expected, Gu Yun's smile became even broader.

After a series of polite words, the two walked into the cave one after another.

I don't know what Han Li and the other party talked about in the mansion, but after a full half-day, the Gu family cultivator walked out again with a look of regret and flew away from the misty sea.

After returning to his original residence, Gu Yun gave some instructions to the old man of the Gu family branch and then drifted away.

At the same time, Han Li was in the secret room of the cave, playing with a white jade slip in his hand, his face full of thought.

"This Long family actually has the title of the number one True Spirit family and has a Body Integration-stage existence sitting in the family. I must pay attention to it in the future."

Han Li whispered a few words, light flashed in his hand, and the jade slip disappeared.

This jade slip was a gift from Gu Yun, which recorded some things related to the True Spirit families, giving Han Li a general understanding of the human True Spirit families.

Of course, these were not very secret things. Any cultivator who advanced to Void Refinement would gradually know these things through other channels.

This Gu family cultivator was just doing a favor.

The reason Han Li invited the other party to the cave for a chat just now was that he had offended the Long family, which was also a True Spirit family, back then, causing the family's great plot against the Ye family to fail.

Although hundreds of years had passed, for cultivators, this amount of time was naturally not enough for the Long family to forget all this.

Since he had returned to the human race and had to live in the race for a long time, he naturally had to do some understanding and precautions first.

That was why he was moved to invite the other party to the cave for a chat as soon as he heard Gu Yun's identity.

Just as he expected, this Gu family member proposed to invite him to join the Gu family as a guest elder after chatting for a while.

Han Li naturally refused tactfully.

With his current cultivation and divine abilities, it was impossible for him to live under any family. Moreover, with his family background, the generous conditions proposed by Gu Yun could not move his heart in the slightest.

Han Li's expression was uncertain for a long time, then he shook his head and put the matter aside, shook his wrist, and a scroll a foot long suddenly appeared in front of him.
