Chapter 2280

As these symbols rotated, the entire disc also began to spin erratically, with countless runes appearing and disappearing within it, making one's eyes dazzled and unable to keep up.

At the same time, the ancient cyan mirror also emitted waves of humming sounds, its surface wreathed in cyan light, with something vaguely appearing and disappearing within it, yet it could never be seen clearly.

Han Li's expression was exceptionally solemn, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the various strange phenomena occurring within the disc, as if he were silently calculating something in his heart.

After a full meal's time, and after the giant disc had spun an unknown number of times, a glimmer of light flashed in Han Li's pupils, and he suddenly let out a low shout:

"Found it!"

Then, with a movement of his arm, he pointed a finger into the air, and an invisible ripple instantly shrouded the void within a radius of a mile.

With a muffled "bang."

The giant disc trembled, and most of the rune markers flashed and disappeared, leaving only a dozen lonely symbols that formed a strange pattern, emitting a soft white light at the center.

Han Li gazed at the pattern for a few moments before shifting his gaze to the ancient cyan mirror in front of him.

On this treasure, wisps of rosy light swirled incessantly, and the image on the smooth mirror surface changed from blurry to clear.

When a long ringing sound came from the ancient mirror, a giant map appeared within it.

And at a certain location on the map, an extremely dazzling point of light pulsed, seemingly echoing the pattern on the giant disc from afar.

After gazing for a moment, Han Li frowned inadvertently.

"Senior Han, has the entrance to the Small Spirit Realm been found?" Zhu Guo'er, who had been waiting until now, could no longer help but ask.

"It can be considered found, but also not truly found; I can only say there is a general idea," Han Li said after pondering for a long while, shaking his head slightly.

"Senior, what do you mean by that..." Zhu Guo'er blinked her large eyes, looking completely confused.

"It's very simple! The current entrance connecting the Small Spirit Realm to the Spirit Realm is not on our Fengyuan Continent. It should be on one of the other two continents," Han Li said slowly.

"Other continents? Senior, are you referring to Lei Ting or Xuetian?" Zhu Guo'er was startled at first, then immediately asked subconsciously.

As several clusters of silver flames whistled out from his body, waves of heat immediately rolled out in all directions, sweeping away all the poisonous mist within a radius of an acre. Those poisonous insects and the like were incinerated by the silver flames in an instant, unable to get within half a step of Han Li and the others.

Occasionally, a few ignorant demon beasts appeared, but Han Li didn't even need to make a move; they were easily killed by Lady Yin Yue alone.

Before long, the group arrived at an inconspicuous corner of the swamp.

Han Li's eyes suddenly lit up. From several miles away, he saw at a glance an ancient, simple altar about a hundred feet tall, hovering above a pool of water.

"Found it! Huashi, you can just stay here. Let's go over first," Han Li ordered with a smile on his face.

Old Ancestor Huashi naturally had no objections and hurriedly bowed in agreement.

Lady Yin Yue and Zhu Guo'er excitedly followed Han Li straight toward the tall altar.

After a short while, the group appeared in front of the altar simultaneously.

Han Li paused his movements and raised his head to carefully examine the tall structure before him.

He saw that the altar was quadrangular, divided into three layers from bottom to top, its surface covered in unknown ancient characters, though most were covered by a layer of pale green moss.

Moreover, the four corners of the altar were collapsed and missing, giving it an appearance of extreme antiquity.

"Sure enough, it is indeed the Sainan Ancient Altar passed down from ancient times! According to Baohua's words, as long as one uses secret techniques to stimulate it at a specific time to calculate the spatial coordinates she mentioned, one can find the entrance to the Small Spirit World."

"Guo'er, you were born in the Small Spirit World. Your soul naturally carries some of the aura of that world. I will need to borrow a wisp of your divine sense in a moment so that the measured position can be more precise," Han Li said, turning his head toward Zhu Guo'er.

"Yes. This junior will certainly assist with all my might!" Zhu Guo'er hurriedly agreed upon hearing this.

Judging by her exceptionally joyful expression, she was clearly extremely expectant about being able to return to the Small Spirit World.

Lady Yin Yue, standing to the side, smiled and remained silent.

Han Li had not hidden the fact that Nangong Wan might be in the Small Spirit World from this confidante of his; he had told her long ago.

With Lady Yin Yue's current state of mind, she naturally wouldn't have the jealousy of ordinary mortal women; instead, she was happily willing to accompany him to the Small Spirit World to find Nangong Wan and bring her back.

Although Han Li was confident that Baohua wouldn't deceive him about this matter, this was truly the first time he had ever used an ancient altar to calculate the entrance to another interface.

Whether any accidents would occur during the spell-casting process or how large the margin of error in the calculation would be were things hard to say.

Therefore, although Han Li appeared calm on the surface, now that the moment had arrived, he couldn't help but feel a trace of solemnity in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that, according to Baohua, using this ancient altar to calculate the location of the Small Spirit World required a specific time and hour, he would have started this matter long ago and wouldn't have waited until today.

Han Li looked at the altar before him, various thoughts racing through his mind. He suddenly flicked his large sleeve, and a sheet of golden light rolled out to the side, wrapping around himself and Zhu Guo'er, causing them to vanish.

The next moment, fluctuations arose at the highest level of the altar, and the two of them appeared there simultaneously.

Lady Yin Yue remained at the very bottom of the altar, merely raising her head to gaze at Han Li's every move, her face showing a trace of concern.

Han Li swept his gaze around!

The top of the altar was completely empty; there was absolutely nothing there.

However, when he swept his gaze toward the ground, he immediately saw a circular formation marked with scales around its edges.

The entire formation was over ten feet in size, covering almost every part of the altar's top layer. However, the runes in some corners showed signs of wear, looking extremely blurry and unclear.

Han Li's expression flickered, but he didn't show too much surprise.

He had already inquired clearly that as long as the formation was generally intact, some partial damage would not have much impact on his spell-casting calculation.

After Han Li took a deep breath, he formed hand seals with both hands, and a spell was immediately cast into the formation.

"Boom!"

The formation, which had existed for who knows how long, flashed wildly after being stimulated, and colorful light spots began to appear above the altar, pouring into it.

Seeing this, Han Li's brows twitched, and his ten fingers flicked continuously, casting more spells.

The roaring sound of the formation became increasingly intense, and gradually, the entire altar began to vibrate slightly. At the same time, strips of soft light began to condense nearby, swirling and dancing.

The momentum was truly astonishing!

Just then, Han Li let out a low shout, paused his hand seals, and pressed one palm with five fingers spread onto the ground.

"Puchi!"

A pillar of cyan essence light erupted from his palm, pouring wildly into the entire altar through the formation.

After absorbing such pure magic power, the roaring sound from the altar became even louder.

This situation lasted for a full meal's time, and the magic power Han Li injected into the altar was nearly a quarter of all the true essence in his body.

Yet the faint suction force coming from the formation showed no signs of stopping.

Seeing this, Han Li drew a cold breath.

No wonder that although many people knew of the existence of such ancient altars, very few were truly interested in them.

The magic power consumption required to drive this altar was definitely not something that could be considered by anyone below the Grand Ascension stage.

Of course, if one were to cooperate with some top-tier spirit stones, some Body Integration stage cultivators with abundant magic power might have a chance to stimulate some of the altar's functions, but how much effect it would truly have was hard to say.

Moreover, the functions of these ancient altars were mostly unimportant auxiliary types; there was no need for Grand Ascension existences to do such thankless work.

As Han Li thought this, the formation below suddenly flashed with intense light, and the suction force vanished instantly.

Following that, the formation let out a "bang," and countless colorful runes erupted from it, spinning and turning to reveal a massive, hazy light disc above the altar.

Circles of symbol markings similar to the scales in the formation covered almost every part of the disc, but some were dazzlingly bright, while others were extremely dim.

Witnessing all this, Han Li couldn't help but reveal a joyful expression. His body straightened, and his palm left the formation, but his other sleeve flicked, and suddenly an object flew out.
