Chapter 642: Great Geng Sword Array

Han Li didn't have time to think and sat cross-legged on the spot, breathing and exhaling, and the icy coldness in his eyes immediately decreased greatly.

If anyone were in front of Han Li at this time, they would find that a faint blue light had appeared on Han Li's closed eyelids, extremely weak.

A full half-hour passed before the chill faded from his eyes.

Han Li let out a long breath, his eyelids twitched, and he finally opened his eyes, then subconsciously looked around.

A hint of doubt flashed across his face.

"Is there really no change? Could it be that there is no effect at all!" Han Li blinked his eyes and muttered to himself.

However, after thinking about it, he raised his head and poured spiritual power into his eyes.

Deep in his pupils, blue light flashed instantly.

"Eh!" Han Li couldn't help but call out.

He saw the wall of the quiet room, which had restrictions, turn into a blurry pale blue in his eyes.

Startled, he scattered his heart and spirit, and the wall returned to normal.

"No wonder the Core Formation cultivators of the three sects are not interested in this spiritual water. This bit of almost non-existent penetration ability is indeed something no one looks down upon; several auxiliary magic arts can do much better than this. However, that refers to washing the eyes with spiritual water once. I wonder what kind of divine abilities the eyes will possess if they are washed with spiritual water every half month for a long time? I'm really looking forward to it!" Han Li looked at the spiritual water still floating in front of him, thinking secretly in his heart.

Then he didn't hesitate, performed the magic art again, and repeated the same washing steps.

This much spiritual liquid was enough for more than ten cultivators to wash their eyes once.

Han Li's cultivation was profound now, and although he used more, it only took a few times to complete.

After consuming all the spiritual liquid, Han Li's eyes didn't look any different. Only when spiritual power was applied to his eyes would blue light flash instantly. The ability to penetrate restrictions didn't seem to have improved significantly either.

Han Li wasn't discouraged by this; anyway, there was plenty of time, and he had plenty of time to slowly let his eyes possess divine abilities.

The next day, after telling Lady Yin Yue, Han Li entered the seclusion room. He took out the gold page that recorded the Azure Essence Sword Art.

Speaking of which, this sword art had thirteen layers in total, making it a complete set of cultivation techniques. The divine abilities on it also gradually increased in power, from Azure Essence Sword Light, Body-Protecting Sword Shield, to Sword Shadow Splitting Technique, etc.

The first two were fine; apart from being convenient to use and available at any time, their power wasn't much to speak of!

As for the third divine ability, the Sword Shadow Splitting Technique, Han Li was quite satisfied.

Don't look at how he used this divine ability several times without immediately seeing results in defeating the enemy. That was because the opponents were too strong, so the power of this sword art couldn't be reflected.

He believed that if the opponent were an ordinary cultivator with similar cultivation to his, they would be unable to parry the siege of hundreds of sword lights and would be hacked into pieces in the blink of an eye.

Now he could cultivate the tenth layer of the sword art, so he could naturally learn the new divine ability of the sword art.

It was funny to say that although he obtained the cultivation method for the entire set of Azure Essence Sword Art from this gold page, he didn't know if the person who refined this gold page did it on purpose, but they had actually obscured a section of the cultivation formula involving this final divine ability.

Although he clearly knew that those flashing white, illegible light characters were the cultivation method for the final divine ability, his cultivation was insufficient. Even after forming his Core Formation, he couldn't know what this final divine ability was.

As for the cultivation formula for the thirteenth layer, I don't know if it was because the realm had exceeded this world, but Han Li felt it was profound and difficult to understand every time he read it, let alone cultivate it; he couldn't even grasp a clue. It seemed that only after reaching the Spirit Transformation stage or even leaving this world would it be possible to understand the mysteries within.

Han Li wasn't in a hurry at the time, because the practice of adding restrictions to inheritance objects to prevent disciples from greedily seeking the power of divine abilities and cultivating them rashly without sufficient cultivation was not uncommon in the cultivation world. He knew very well that once his cultivation was sufficient, he would naturally be able to obtain the cultivation method for this divine ability.

Now with his Nascent Soul cultivation, looking at this section of divine ability formula again, there was naturally no problem.

Having thought this, Han Li tossed the gold page in his hand into the air. Then, he opened his mouth. A ball of green light was spat out, just enough to gently support the gold page in mid-air.

With Han Li's current profound magic power, it was naturally impossible to wait for a long time like in the Foundation Establishment stage before having a reaction. A moment later, the gold page shone with golden light, and light characters the size of ants appeared on the page one after another.

Seeing this scene, Han Li didn't hesitate at all, reached out and summoned the gold page in the air, and it "swished" into his hand.

Immediately, the dense light characters surged toward Han Li's head through his grasping palm.

Han Li accepted it easily without changing his expression.

Sure enough, the parts of the Azure Essence Sword Art that were originally illegible were now clearly displayed before his eyes.

Han Li didn't think much and immediately closed his eyes to check the newly obtained divine ability formula.

"Great Geng Sword Array! What is this? How is it related to a formation?" Han Li only glanced at the things that were unfamiliar to him, and these big golden characters immediately appeared in his mind. Stunned, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Pale golden light characters appeared one after another in his spiritual sense, and Han Li fell into the comprehension of these formulas, his body motionless.

Sitting like this, three days and three nights passed unconsciously.

The expression on Han Li's face was very strange, sometimes excited, sometimes worried, and sometimes even appearing with a strange situation of being covered in sweat.

By the evening of the third day, the expression on his face finally calmed down, and he opened his eyes, with a deep meaning flashing in them.

"This sword array is too exaggerated. If it can be cultivated to the extreme and have one-third of the power described above, it would be enough to dominate Tiannan." Han Li pursed his dry lips, muttering with a strange look on his face, as if he found it hard to believe what he had comprehended.

"However, it is not known what year or month it will be to display this divine ability. The number of sword lights required to set up the sword array is exaggerated enough; at least a hundred sword lights are needed. No wonder the two gold pages, one for the formula and one for the refining method of the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, are essentially one body and cannot be missing one. That Sword Shadow Splitting Technique divine ability is probably also created for this. Otherwise, it would be impossible to set up this sword array." Han Li thought secretly.

Of course, the greater the power of the flying swords and the more sword lights, the greater the power of this sword array.

Han Li estimated that if he had enough time to use seventy-two flying swords to transform into four sword lights and set up a large sword array of three hundred and sixty sword lights, it would be hard to say about late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, but mid-stage cultivators entering this sword array would not die but would definitely lose a layer of skin and would never be able to retreat completely. And as his cultivation advanced and the number of sword lights he could transform increased, killing late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators would not be impossible."

However, besides needing enough sword lights to set up the array, to display this divine ability, he also had to re-refine the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, needing to add a material called "Geng Essence" to each flying sword.

Han Li was no stranger to this material. Because this was simply the famous "Sharp Metal Treasure" in the cultivation world, rarely seen by anyone, and it was almost as rare as the refining crystal Han Li once obtained. In terms of value, to some cultivators, Geng Essence was far above this crystal.

Because as long as a small piece of Geng Essence material is added to magic treasures like knives and swords, and then slightly refined, the power of this magic treasure will double in sharpness. It is absolutely something that cultivators who use magic treasures like flying knives and flying swords regard as their "life."

But for Han Li, this was a big trouble.

Not to mention how much "Geng Essence" is needed to be added to each flying sword, even if it were very little, spreading it over seventy-two flying swords would definitely be an astonishing amount.

This made Han Li wonder where to find so much "Sharp Metal Treasure."

After all, once a cultivator obtains this object, if they don't immediately integrate it into their own magic treasure, they will immediately take it out to exchange for things they need. In short, once it appears, it will be used by cultivators.

Not to mention Tiannan, even the Chaotic Star Sea, which is full of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, hasn't seen it for thousands of years.

He could have all the crystals he wanted, but there was nowhere to exchange them.

Now facing the astonishingly powerful "Great Geng Sword Array" divine ability, Han Li could only look at the moon in the water and flowers in the mist, staring blankly.

Pondering repeatedly in the quiet room, Han Li could only smile bitterly and put this matter aside for the time being, then took out a jade box from his storage bag.

After opening the box lid, a round ball that was golden and shining, with faint, slight thunder sounds, appeared inside.

"Dry Blue Ice Flame"

Looking at this supreme treasure, Han Li's expression became solemn.

Now that his cultivation was complete, he could finally try to control this flame. If he could successfully refine the ice flame, then there would be great hope for retrieving the Void Heaven Cauldron.

Now that his cultivation base was fully developed, he could finally attempt to control this flame. If he could successfully refine the Ice Flame, then there would be great hope for retrieving the Void Heaven Cauldron.
