Chapter 2450: Volume 11: The Descent of the True Immortal, Chapter 2432: Meeting the Spirit King Again

Two years later, in the deepest secret chamber of the Azure Origin Palace, Han Li sat cross-legged in a corner, his ten fingers flicking out streaks of multicolored magic arts like spinning wheels toward the front.

In the center of the secret chamber, there was a pale golden magic array about a zhang in size, with two green bottles, one large and one small, suspended above and below inside it.

The small bottle above was cyan-green in color and only a few inches in size; its mouth was inverted, and it flickered with an unknown, mysterious light that grew dim and bright by turns.

The streaks of magic arts flicked from Han Li's hands all vanished into it without a trace.

In the center of the light array below was a cyan-green light bottle about a chi tall, tightly wrapped by strands of five-colored light silk darting out from various parts of the array. Wisps of unknown glazed light flew out from the mouth of the bottle, all of which were sucked into the small bottle high above.

Every time the light bottle below had a portion sucked away by the small bottle in the air, its volume would shrink by a fraction, and its color would become a fraction dimmer.

After a full half-day, when the light bottle below had shrunk to the same size as the small bottle above and its color had become nearly transparent, it finally let out a "Bang" and transformed into a final cluster of glazed light that shot into the sky, where it was also sucked into the small bottle above.

"Go!"

Han Li, who had been casting spells continuously in the corner, saw this and felt a surge of joy. After a low shout, he pointed a finger at the magic array.

The magic array, which had been humming with a low sound, suddenly stopped running with a sharp noise. At the same time, all the rosy light retracted, and the small bottle above slowly descended.

Han Li arched his brows, withdrew his finger, and made a beckoning motion into the void with one hand.

With a "Swish," the cyan-green small bottle immediately turned into a ball of green light and landed in his hand.

"The Fusion Origin Immortal Art on that newly obtained jade slip is indeed very effective. It actually managed to completely fuse this replica into the Heaven-Sustaining Bottle. It wasn't in vain that I spent all this time doing this. This way, as long as I use the manipulation method recorded on it, I can simply drive this treasure, instead of just using it to catalyze spiritual herbs." Han Li toyed with the cyan small bottle in his hand for a moment, a faint smile appearing on his face as he muttered to himself.

"That said, although I knew this object's origin was extraordinary, I never imagined it was a supreme treasure that even existences like the Dao Ancestors of the Immortal World cared about. But how did it end up in the mortal world, and why is only a part of it left? Where is the bottle spirit? Could it be that it was also left behind in some other part of the mortal world?" After Han Li put away the small bottle in his hand, he fell into deep thought again.

"Forget it. Being able to obtain a part of this treasure is already a great stroke of fortune. Being able to reach this step today is also thanks to having this treasure in hand. There is no need to force anything else. My next task is to cultivate in seclusion, thoroughly comprehend the few new divine abilities I have obtained, cultivate them to perfection, and then refine several other heavy treasures like the Origin-Union Five-Pole Mountain. Then, I will continue to cultivate bitterly, allowing my magic power to become further refined and condensed, eventually reaching the level where I can welcome the Tribulation of Ascension. However, before long-term seclusion, there are still a few things that must be dealt with first."

Han Li's thoughts turned rapidly. With a flip of his hand, a somewhat tattered jade tablet suddenly appeared in his palm. After gently stroking it with his fingers, he softly spat out the two words: "Spirit Race."

Not long after he returned to the Boundless Sea that day, he immediately had the Crab Daoist cast a spell to track whether the owner of the life tablet in his hand was truly in the Spirit World.

But the result gave him a great shock.

After the Crab Daoist checked it briefly with a secret technique, he not only confirmed that the owner of the incomplete life tablet was indeed in this world, but their approximate location was not far from the human race. It should be located within the Spirit Domain of the Spirit Race.

After Han Li was shocked, the figure of the Spirit King immediately flashed through his mind.

Although he did not yet know the identity of the life tablet's owner, it was ten-to-one likely to have a great deal to do with this mysterious Spirit King.

He had originally planned to go and investigate immediately, but unfortunately, because he had to deal with the aftermath of the great battle in the Mingsha Land and had to sit in the Azure Origin Palace, he had been forced to drag it out until now without setting off.

"No other alien races have come knocking in the past two years. It seems it is time to resolve this matter."

Han Li narrowed his eyes and finally thought to himself.

A few months later, above the "Fuling Mountain," the holy land of the Spirit Race, violent fluctuations occurred, and a giant ship as black as ink silently flashed out from within.

A figure flickered at the bow of the ship, and a young man in a cyan robe appeared eerily in the void in front of the giant ship.

Naturally, there was chaos in Fuling Mountain below; layers of restrictions emerged, and countless figures soared into the sky from all over the mountain.

But the young man ignored everything below. Instead, after letting out a light breath, he said loudly without a trace of emotion:

"Fellow Daoist Spirit King, Han has come to pay a visit. I hope you can come out to see me."

This young man was none other than Han Li!

Although his voice was ordinary, it echoed endlessly over the entire Fuling Mountain and contained a certain great divine ability. As soon as the group of Spirit Race guards soaring into the sky below heard it, their bodies trembled and they fell from the sky one after another.

The other few Holy Spirits who had not yet ascended, the moment Han Li's voice entered their ears, felt their entire body's magic power congeal and become difficult to circulate. Immediately, everyone's expression changed drastically.

Just then, an exceptionally old voice finally came from Fuling Mountain:

"So it is Fellow Daoist Han who has graced us with his presence. It is this old man's negligence for not welcoming you from afar. Please come in, Fellow Daoist!"

As soon as the old man's voice fell, the restrictions at the top of Fuling Mountain parted, revealing a passage that one person could pass through.

Han Li smiled slightly, his figure moved, and he turned into a cyan rainbow, directly escaping into it.

On the platform in front of the great hall at the top of Fuling Mountain, an old man in a white robe stood at the hall door with a solemn expression, looking at something high in the sky.

A flash of cyan light appeared in the air, and Han Li appeared in front of the old man like a ghost.

Seeing this, the white-robed old man's pupils shrank slightly, but a smile appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands and said:

"Fellow Daoist's divine abilities are indeed unfathomable. Now that you are shaking the entire Spirit World with your might, how could you have time to come to this old man's place?"

"Fellow Daoist Spirit King is too polite! Han only obtained this bit of empty fame by luck. Moreover, these empty names are not necessarily a good thing for existences like you and me. As for why I came here, I wanted to inquire about something from Fellow Daoist Spirit." Han Li first said two polite words, then asked frankly.

"Inquire about something? What does Fellow Daoist Han need to ask this old man about?" The Spirit King frowned.

"Does Fellow Daoist recognize the owner of this object?" Han Li did not lie either. He shook his sleeve, and an object flew out directly toward the opposite side.

The Spirit King moved one arm and grabbed the flying object in his hand. It was none other than the incomplete life tablet. But after he sensed the aura on it, his expression changed immediately.

"This life tablet, did Fellow Daoist Han obtain it from that fallen immortal?" The old man asked with a bitter expression after his face changed for a long while.

"It seems I did not find the wrong person by coming to Fellow Daoist's place this time." Han Li nodded calmly.

"Follow me, Fellow Daoist." The white-robed old man pondered for a moment, then threw the life tablet back to Han Li, as if he had made some kind of decision.

Then, without waiting for Han Li to answer, he turned and walked toward the great hall.

Han Li's expression moved slightly, and he followed without hesitation.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, in a mysterious underground space.

Han Li stood in front of a crystalline ice peak, looking with some surprise at an exceptionally handsome young man sealed at the bottom of the mountain.

The white-robed old man stood to the side, pinching a spell with one hand, and then flicked it, immediately shooting a magic art into the ice peak.

As a result, a moment later, countless white light spots surged out from the ice wall of the mountain, and after condensing, they turned into a small white person with the exact same face as the white-robed old man.

After this small person scanned Han Li, he did not show a very surprised expression. Instead, he smiled bitterly and said:

"Fellow Daoist really found your way here. It seems that the recently talked-about fallen True Immortal was indeed looking for this immortal suppressed by me. This immortal has been hiding in the Spirit World for so many years, surely carrying some great secret. I am not too surprised that the Immortal World would send someone to look for him. It's just that I was still holding onto a glimmer of luck before."

"So this immortal was suppressed by Fellow Daoist Spirit. It seems that the rumors about you are not all groundless." Han Li stared at the small person in the ice peak and said thoughtfully.

"It is inconvenient for me to explain my origins to Fellow Daoist Han. Let's talk in detail after I retract the spell." The small person shook his head and said. Then, with a flicker of his body, he turned into a ball of white light and shot toward the white-robed old man. After a flash, he silently merged into his body and disappeared.

The old man, who had originally seemed to have only the aura of an ordinary Great Ascension stage cultivator, straightened his body slightly and immediately erupted with an extremely powerful aura. In terms of strength, it was not inferior to any of the top powerhouses Han Li had ever seen.

It seems this is the real Spirit King.

Han Li's eyes flickered twice, but he said nothing.

On the other side, after the Spirit King retracted his aura, he asked Han Li with a serious expression:

"Fellow Daoist, you found your way here with the life tablet and have also seen its owner. What are your plans now?"

"Regardless of what relationship this person has with the immortal I killed, I do not want to leave any future trouble." Han Li said indifferently.

"Does Fellow Daoist Han intend to kill this immortal as well? I am afraid that will be difficult to satisfy your wishes. If it were really that easy to succeed, why would I bother to suppress him here with a sealing method and bitterly refine his True Immortal body with my life-fire?" The Spirit King shook his head and replied.

"Oh, why is that? When I broke the physical body of that descending immortal, it didn't seem too difficult." Han Li was somewhat surprised.

"That is not quite the same. The immortal you killed should have already been suppressed by the laws of the Spirit World, with most of his magic power and physical body used to resist the power of the world that exists at every moment. But this True Immortal I suppressed has already changed his True Immortal body in the Spirit World, and I don't know what kind of Immortal World secret technique he cultivated, but he was able to seal his magic power and primordial spirit into his physical body. His physical body's strength is probably far beyond that of an ordinary True Immortal in the Immortal World. Even using a Heaven-Sustaining Treasure, it would be impossible to injure him." The white-robed old man explained. ===== CHAPTER 2451 =====
