Chapter 2262: Interface Forbidden Technique

"... This place is truly about to collapse. It seems that person's words were not false!" Baohua's expression became somewhat ugly.

Han Li frowned, his gaze scanning the place where the Mother of Ming Insects had been killed, then suddenly grabbed at the void with one hand.

"Sou!" With a sound!

Fluctuations arose in the seemingly empty void, and a pitch-black crystal bead the size of a thumb appeared out of thin air, submerging into Han Li's palm after a flash.

"Eh, this is..." Baohua was stunned upon seeing this, and just as she was about to say something, the entire abyss collapsed like heaven and earth turning upside down. Countless pale white cracks surged out in all directions, rapidly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Baohua's expression changed drastically, and she raised a crimson formation plate in her hand. But the moment the humming sound started, a bizarre fluctuation swept across her hand.

The spinning formation plate immediately dimmed its light, becoming motionless again.

"It's no use. That person truly used means; the two of us cannot leave this place easily now," Baohua said with an ugly jade face.

"Very normal. Since that person dared to say so, they naturally have full confidence in keeping the two of us," Han Li said calmly.

Baohua snorted, and just as she wanted to say something, gray-misty light rays rolled around the two, and a blurred light array shrouded them from above.

Han Li and Baohua both felt a chill in their hearts, but they did not make any move to resist or dodge.

After the light array flashed, their figures vanished from the abyss without a trace.

Almost at the same time, the entire abyss collapsed completely amidst a heaven-shaking loud noise.

On the other side, when Han Li cleared his head from the dizziness of the teleportation, he discovered that he had actually appeared in front of a blood-colored altar ten zhang high.

Nearby, Baohua was close by, and after recovering her senses, she also scanned the surroundings with a solemn expression.

On the altar was placed a pitch-black bowl, and around it stood eight giant bronze pillars, each faintly having a blood-red ancient lamp.

"This seems to be a very mysterious ancient forbidden technique, seemingly from the same source as that ancient seal, with similar effects," Baohua said after watching for a while, unable to help but mutter.

"To think that there is actually someone in the lower realms who recognizes a thing or two about this Eight-Element Soul-Locking Array. Correct, this array is indeed closely related to the restriction that sealed the Mother of Myriad Insects. Even calling it a mini-seal shrunk ten thousand times would not be wrong." That familiar man's voice drifted over leisurely.

Han Li and Baohua's gazes contracted, staring simultaneously at the pitch-black bowl on the altar.

The man's voice was exactly coming from within it.

"Senior praises me too much. Junior only happened to guard the seal for a period of time, which is why I could see the similarities at a glance. If we are talking about array forbidden technique dao, Fellow Daoist Han is actually far superior to me," Baohua replied with a forced smile.

"Oh, your clan truly hasn't forgotten the instructions I left behind back then. You have indeed tried your best to repair this seal over the years, which can be considered some merit." The man said indifferently. "Senior, are you truly one of the two True Immortals who sealed the Ming Mother back then!" Baohua, although she had long since guessed... but now hearing the other party admit it herself, she still couldn't help but cry out.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that I would be stranded in the lower realm for such a long time this time, and end up in this state. Being able to remove that Mother of Ming Insects this time, you girl can be considered to have helped quite a bit. I have an object to give you, which is not in vain for you risking your life this time," the man's voice chuckled, and the bowl lid opened. An object flew out from within.

Baohua was overjoyed upon hearing this. She grabbed it with her hand and looked at it carefully.

It was actually a pale yellow wooden hairpin that looked ordinary!

Its surface was rough, and there were even several cracks!

But the moment her finger touched the wooden hairpin, a cold aura transmitted out from within, instantly submerging into her body, walking through all the meridians, actually producing a warm feeling, and there was no part of her body that didn't feel comfortable.

"This is Golden Sun Wood, thank you Senior for the generous gift!" After looking at it for a moment, the woman's eyes opened wide, and she suddenly bowed deeply to the bowl on the altar, her voice actually trembling slightly.

"This Golden Sun Wood, although not very rare in the Immortal World, is just right for your current situation. With the nourishment of this object, I think the hidden injuries hidden in your body can be completely healed. Alright, the benefits have been taken, I will send you out first," the man's voice in the black bowl was exceptionally calm, but the last sentence made Baohua stunned.

But before the woman could react!

Black light flashed on the surface of the bowl, and a small light array appeared beneath Baohua's feet, instantly teleporting her away from the spot, not knowing where she was sent.

Immediately, only Han Li was left alone in front of the altar.

Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly, but his face revealed no strangeness, just staring at the black bowl without saying a word.

"Your excellency has quite a bit of courage, not afraid that I will leave you alone here, and what harm I might do to you?" The man laughed lightly and asked Han Li noncommittally.

"If Senior truly wanted to do harm to Junior, why would you help us kill that insect mother, and even more so, why would you go to such trouble to move Junior to this place?" Han Li smiled slightly and replied calmly.

"Your words are somewhat correct, but not entirely. But one thing you said correctly. I truly have no malice toward you. The reason I appeared to see the two of you, that little girl was just a side note, the main thing was to see you and have something to discuss. Let me ask you, have you cultivated the Refining God Art secret technique?" The man snorted and asked a question that made Han Li's heart tighten.

"Senior knows about this, is it because of the words of the Ming Mother before it was destroyed?" Han Li pondered for a moment before asking back calmly.

"You don't need to be suspicious! The moment you entered the underground palace, I probed through the formation here and discovered that you had cultivated the Refining God Art. Do you know what position I held in the Immortal World back then? I was a patrol envoy under the supervision of the Supervisory Immortal Envoy. As long as you have cultivated the Refining God Art, and meet a patrol envoy, that kind of special spiritual sense fluctuation can absolutely not be hidden from people like us who have cultivated special monitoring secret techniques," the man in the bowl said dismissively.

"Why would you patrol envoys in the Immortal World pay such attention to people who cultivate this technique?" Han Li's expression finally changed slightly upon hearing this.

"You have cultivated this Refining God Art, and have been able to cultivate it to the second layer realm without harm. I truly don't know if this is your great opportunity or your great disaster. Do you know that the Refining God Art is one of the secret techniques that all immortal domains in the Immortal World have implicitly forbidden? Although there are no true regulations, anyone who cultivates this kind of secret technique, once known by the power-holders of major forces, is definitely killed without fail, and it is an endless pursuit," the man's voice said coldly.

"How could it be like this? Is there something wrong with this Refining God Art?" Han Li's face became somewhat ugly, and after a long while, he took a deep breath and asked.

"Hehe, it's more than just 'not right.' Do you know how many immortal domains there are in the Immortal World? Not to mention those nameless immortal domains in remote places of the Immortal World that have no reputation, but those that have some reputation and are known to everyone are counted in the thousands. Ten million years ago, when the Refining God Art was first created, due to its miraculous effect of amplifying spiritual sense... people who cultivated this technique could be said to be countless. But only a million years later, the immortals in the immortal domains who still dared to cultivate this technique were few and far between, and they were all guys who usually hid and didn't come out!" The man sighed, speaking with a strange tone.

Han Li listened, his face changing incessantly, but he didn't interface anymore.

Because he knew very clearly that since the other party had already opened the topic, they would definitely explain it thoroughly to him.

Sure enough, the man's voice paused slightly before continuing:

"The reason this happened is that those who cultivated this Refining God Art later became mentally deranged, and eventually went crazy and died because they couldn't suppress their inner demons. Because this kind of madness is completely losing one's reason, becoming bloodthirsty, and it is completely irreversible, it almost destroyed half of the Immortal World. So this technique became a secret technique that the Immortal World strictly forbade cultivating. Of course, there are many immortals who rely on their own aptitude and still covet the powerful amplification effect of this technique in the early stages, still harboring luck and cultivating this technique secretly. But when they are bumped into by us patrol envoys, naturally, we catch one when we see one."

"With the ability of your Immortal World, you still couldn't perfect this secret technique? Or rather, has no one in your Immortal World truly cultivated this technique to great success, with no exceptions?" Han Li finally asked gloomily.

"This Refining God Art, in the end, is just a capability to stimulate spiritual sense potential and amplify spiritual sense power. When it was first created, its creator was also a famous person in our Immortal World. It is not easy for others to perfect it. However, based on this Refining God Art, there were indeed some great capable people who created other spiritual sense secret techniques with amplification effects. Compared to the Refining God Art, these secret techniques are much safer, but the amplification effect is naturally a world of difference. As for whether anyone has truly cultivated this technique to great success, I can tell you clearly: Yes, and more than one. But these people all had other opportunities and encounters later, otherwise, the outcome wouldn't have changed much," the man's voice said solemnly.

"In that case, if one has cultivated this secret technique in the Immortal World, one can only hide in a place with no one, or abolish this divine ability," Han Li frowned and muttered.
