Chapter 385

Before consuming the spiritual medicine, Han Li first meditated in the secret chamber for several days, adjusting his entire body's true essence and vital energy to the best state, before taking out the small bottle containing the Heavenly Fire Liquid. Net

He tilted his head and carefully dripped a few drops into his mouth, then hurriedly put the bottle away, closing his eyes to wait for the medicinal power to take effect.

Not long after, the meridians in Han Li's body began to feel scalding hot, and the true essence within his body was like boiling water, flowing rapidly along his meridians.

Feeling somewhat horrified in his heart, Han Li hurriedly fished out a packet of unknown spiritual medicine from his body, poured it into his mouth without hesitation, and began to calm his mind and cultivate the Azure Essence Sword Art to break through the bottleneck.

When the seventh layer of the Sword Art reached perfection, that would be the day Han Li successfully formed his Core.

Of course, before this, Han Li had already instructed Qu Hun in the next room through spiritual sense to also consume the "Heavenly Fire Liquid" and other auxiliary spiritual medicines.

The "Blood Refining Divine Light" that Qu Hun cultivated belonged to a type of fast-track demonic cultivation technique; under normal circumstances, there was no possibility of forming a Core, but with the "Blood-Coagulating Five Elements Pill," it was naturally different. Therefore, the situation was very different from Han Li's Core Formation.

Qu Hun was not using a certain cultivation technique to condense a Golden Core, but had successively consumed the "Blood-Coagulating Five Elements Pill," directly refining the pill power to form a Sha Core.

Relatively speaking, his Core Formation process was much simpler than Han Li's.

Therefore, after Han Li gave a series of specific orders, he left Qu Hun in the next room and no longer distracted himself with his affairs.

Although Han Li's own Core Formation this time was very slim, he still had to try earnestly.

Even if he could not succeed, it could accumulate more experience for the next Core Formation.

Thinking this, Han Li gradually closed off all perception of the outside world, thoroughly entering into bitter Qi Refining cultivation.

At this time, the passage of time outside became meaningless to Han Li.

Day after day passed!

Spring went and winter came...

One day four years later, Sea Ape Island was still as chaotic as ever, and the pier and the only city on the island were in a state of slight excitement.

Because this was the season when numerous Sea Apes emerged from the sea to mate. Numerous low-tier cultivators were rushing in and out of the island, capturing this type of demonic beast that was usually hard to find.

The cultivators were naturally beaming with joy from earning spirit stones, and those merchants were also purchasing non-stop with faces full of joy.

But by noon, on a remote deserted mountain on the island, a scene occurred that left the nearby cultivators who were in seclusion dumbfounded.

Only to see the originally cloudless blue sky suddenly change color with wind and clouds!

A large patch of dark, oppressive black clouds shrouded the sky above the deserted mountain from who knows when, with silver lightning and deafening thunder dancing wildly like mad snakes.

At the same time, the heaven and earth spiritual energy from all directions began to rotate and roar, centered on the deserted mountain, forming a huge vortex several miles in diameter beneath the black clouds, sucking the spiritual energy within dozens of miles dry, leaving the rogue cultivators shocked and dumbfounded.

They walked out of their cultivation places in unison, hurriedly flying toward the deserted mountain where the strange phenomenon was occurring.

Even the most ignorant cultivator would know in their heart at this time. This astonishing heaven and earth scene was clearly one that would only appear when a senior of the cultivation world was about to achieve perfection in their Golden Core.

The Chaotic Star Sea was about to have one more Core Formation stage cultivator!

However, that someone was actually forming a Core in such a place lacking spiritual energy was far beyond the expectations of all the rogue cultivators.

While they were envious and surprised in their hearts, they naturally wanted to come and see what was going on.

If they could establish a connection with this high-level expert, or even be accepted into their sect, wouldn't that be a beautiful thing.

But before these people could reach the place, the spiritual energy vortex in the distance seemed to have absorbed enough spiritual energy, and after a clear phoenix cry, it thoroughly dissipated.

In the chaotic spiritual energy, five-colored rays of light were faintly reflected, appearing exceptionally beautiful.

Following that, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, the lightning disappeared, and everything returned to normal; it was still a beautiful, sunny day.

And at this time, those rogue cultivators had just flown to the vicinity of the deserted mountain. But before they could get close to this mountain, an extremely cold voice rang out in their ears simultaneously.

"Those who approach this mountain without authorization, die!"

These extremely cold words carried not a trace of emotion. It made the faces of the dozen or so low-tier cultivators change drastically, and they stopped their figures in unison, looking at each other in dismay.

Clearly, this senior who had just successfully formed a Core did not seem to like being disturbed.

After looking at each other for a while, they naturally would not continue forward knowing full well the consequences, so they turned around one after another and returned in silence.

But not long after, the news that a cultivator had just successfully formed a Core on Sea Ape Island spread immediately.

Leaving the other cultivators on the island who did not yet know about this dumbfounded for a long time.

That a cultivator actually chose to form a Core on Sea Ape Island was too puzzling!

Immediately, centered on that deserted mountain, many new cave dwellings opened by low-tier cultivators appeared.

Although they had the warning of this Core Formation cultivator, these rogue cultivators with various thoughts did not dare to approach this mountain at will, but they all held the thought that if they lived long-term nearby to cultivate, perhaps they would have a chance to see this Core Formation expert!

For a time, this place became very popular.

But no one knew that inside a cave dwelling on this deserted mountain, the place had long been empty. The person who truly formed the Core was currently flying in the high sky thousands of miles away.

Together with him was a young man with a calm expression, who was none other than Han Li, who had not succeeded in forming his Core.

Han Li looked at Qu Hun sitting cross-legged beside him; although his expression was as usual, a look of relief appeared in his heart.

In fact, as early as a year ago, he had stopped his seclusion.

Because after three years of consuming spiritual medicine and Qi Refining meditation, he had to admit that there was no hope of succeeding in forming a Core this time; there wasn't even a trace of true essence solidifying.

So he simply stopped his cultivation and focused on assisting Qu Hun in forming his Core!

As a result, under the forced assistance of numerous spiritual medicines, Qu Hun truly did not live up to Han Li's expectations, and a few days ago, the dragon and tiger met, and he finally formed a Sha Core.

The process was so smooth that even Han Li himself was a bit surprised!

Han Li, while overjoyed, drove away the rogue cultivators who came to spy.

Then he immediately abandoned this cave dwelling and secretly fled Sea Ape Island with Qu Hun.

He now wanted to return to Little Cai Huan Island to see if the true cave dwelling on the island still existed.

He believed that after these four years, no matter how patient those guys were, it was impossible for a Core Formation stage cultivator to still be watching Little Cai Huan Island.

If it was safe, he would naturally take the strange insects in the dwelling and leave, then fly far away, thoroughly leaving this southwestern sea area.

This Chaotic Star Sea was so vast; with Qu Hun's Core Formation early-stage cultivation, how could there not be a place for him, Han Li, to stay.

Moreover, although Qu Hun could not use the "Green Brilliance Sword" due to inconsistent spiritual root attributes, he could barely drive the Ancient Elder's magic treasure, the "Primordial Bowl"!

Even if he could not thoroughly refine this treasure and fully exert its power, he could finally use a magic treasure to barely fight against other Core Formation stage cultivators.

What's more, he had also handed the golden small sword talisman treasure and the previously obtained golden skull talisman treasure to Qu Hun, only keeping the small knife talisman treasure for himself.

With Qu Hun's Core Formation cultivation, driving a talisman treasure did not require long-term mobilization of spiritual power; he could drive it to attack the enemy instantly, making up for the lack of power in his magic treasure.

Thinking this, Han Li drove the Divine Wind Boat with all his might, transforming into a streak of white light, flying toward Kuixing Island.

More than a month later, the figures of Han Li and Qu Hun appeared above Little Cai Huan Island.

Han Li first used spiritual sense to search the surroundings of Little Cai Huan Island, and there were no figures of other cultivators. Only then did he and Qu Hun confidently drive their magic tools, entering the island from the pier, and flying toward the mountain peak where his cave dwelling was located.

They were still far from the two tall and short mountain peaks, but Han Li's spiritual sense had already scanned the two mountain peaks a step ahead of time.

Han Li, who was driving the magic tool, froze!

Not only were the true and false cave dwellings safe and sound, but even the three magic arrays outside appeared to be completely undamaged.

This was far beyond his expectations!

However, the appearance of this strange scene made Han Li's vigilance rise greatly instead.

When they were a mile away from the mountain peak, the Divine Wind Boat stopped.

He did not rush to enter the magic array directly, but instead looked around with a gloomy expression.

There were indeed no unusual discoveries inside or outside the mountain peak; Han Li lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his eyebrows, stepped on the Divine Wind Boat under his feet, and finally flew into the great array.

The magic array was indeed still in the same state as when Han Li left four years ago, with no signs of being altered.

After Han Li checked it slightly, he no longer hesitated and entered the cave dwelling.

He naturally would not care about the false cave dwelling on the short mountain peak, but entered the true cave dwelling directly through the tunnel.

Then, he strode toward the secret chamber where the strange insects were fed.

But when Han Li reached the front of the secret chamber, he opened his mouth slightly in great shock!

The scene before his eyes left him dumbfounded.
