Chapter 667: Insect Armor Technique

"Asura Sacred Fire! Silver Moon naturally remembers it; that is the demonic flame known as the Ghost Dao Sacred Fire. If Xuan Gu had truly cultivated it, although one couldn't say he was invincible in this world, he would definitely have had very few opponents. Could it be that this is the fire Master fused? It seems a bit different from what I saw that day." Silver Moon said somewhat surprised.

"This is naturally not the Asura Sacred Fire, and even I don't know the origin of this fire. But its power is clearly superior to the Dry Blue Ice Flames. If my guess is correct, as the cold air sprayed by the Six-Winged Frost Centipedes upgrades, the power of this fire will only become greater and greater after absorption. In the end, I imagine it won't be much inferior to that Asura Sacred Fire. This is also something I discovered by chance after accidentally absorbing the cold air of the centipedes. It cannot be said to be anything other than a coincidence."

After saying this, Han Li moved his finger slightly, and the purple flame bird flew around his finger twice before quickly entering his palm and disappearing.

Silver Moon was stunned, and then joy appeared on her face.

"Then this servant congratulates Master. Originally, the Dry Blue Ice Flames were things that ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators dared not touch, but now with this newly fused demonic fire, Master's sweeping across Tiannan is something to look forward to." Silver Moon bowed lightly, smiling, appearing even more charming and moving.

"Sweeping across Tiannan? That's too big a claim. I don't know how many Nascent Soul cultivators there are in the mid-to-late stages in Tiannan. Which of these old monsters hasn't lived for many years and isn't a human spirit? Don't they all have their own trump cards? It's possible that I might just run into something that can restrain my demonic fire." Han Li shook his head and said solemnly.

"Master is too modest. How could there be such a coincidence in the world." Silver Moon pursed her red lips, her eyes revealing a look of disbelief.

"That's hard to say. The Gold-Eating Insects are considered powerful, right? Ranked in the top teens of the Strange Insect List, but the Blood Jade Spider ranked far behind them happens to be able to restrain them. If one runs into some cultivators who know their origins, and there are treasures like jade wood, the situation won't be good either. This demonic fire will also have things that restrain it. In this world, it is originally impossible to have truly invincible cultivation techniques or treasures." Han Li smiled slightly.

"Master is truly cautious. Putting it this way, we really need to prepare a few more trump cards to prevent being restrained by opponents." Silver Moon's expression changed slightly, and she nodded thoughtfully.

Han Li seemed to have more to say, and said slowly:

"I didn't take disciples before because my cultivation wasn't high enough, and I was always drifting about, so taking disciples would definitely be a burden. But now that I have settled down in the Falling Cloud Sect, I should appropriately cultivate some of my own forces. In the cultivation world, individual strength is the most important, but if one is truly alone, there are many inconveniences and dangers. At the very least, information is blocked, and one cannot grasp some useful intelligence in time. Like the trading conference to be held in the Yu Kingdom in two years, no one took the initiative to inform us. Although I estimate that the two Elders will eventually notify us, we cannot make some preparations for it early. And I see that this woman Liu Yu, although her cultivation is not high, doesn't look like someone who only knows how to cultivate bitterly. After entering the Falling Cloud Sect, without me ordering her, I estimate she will also strive to develop her own forces."

"This woman has been placed under the Restriction of Divine Sense by Master, so unless her cultivation exceeds Master's in this life, it is impossible for her to betray Master. Her forces are naturally Master's forces. And this is much more reliable than disciples taken under normal circumstances." Silver Moon added with a smile.

Han Li glanced at Silver Moon and said indifferently:

"You know it well!"

Then his gaze shifted and fell on the Iron Rhinoceros.

At this moment, the spirit beast stood up shakily. However, its fierce aura had greatly diminished, and the gaze it cast toward Han Li revealed a look of fear.

"This spirit beast, although it is of no use to me, is a family spirit beast, so it can be used directly by commanding it with magic tools. It is the best thing for trading. After you train it, lock it in the spirit beast room, and wait for the future trading conference in the Yu Kingdom to see if it can be exchanged for some rare things. I am going to execute the Restriction of Divine Sense on Liu Yu." Han Li took out a pitch-black token from his storage pouch and tossed it to Silver Moon, instructing her.

"Obey, Master!" Silver Moon took the token and said respectfully.

Han Li stood up and left the main hall without speaking.

Silver Moon played with the token in her hand for a while, her face filled with contemplation, seemingly thinking deeply about Han Li's words just now. But a moment later, she suddenly smiled and raised the token, shining it at the spirit beast in the light barrier.

Immediately, the token shot out a large piece of yellow light, shrouding the Iron Rhinoceros within it.

In the hall, a series of shrill hisses followed.

The next day, after Han Li executed the Restriction of Divine Sense on Liu Yu, he took her to the silver-haired old man.

Naturally, he did not tell the whole truth, only saying that this woman had some connection with him, so he brought her back to the Xi Kingdom from the Spirit Beast Sect and intended to take her into his sect to take care of her slightly.

When the silver-haired old man heard this, he was stunned at first, but then laughed loudly with a look of realization.

"I said why Han Junior Brother ran to the demonic path's territory and came back after a circle. So it was for Junior Niece Liu. Good, very good! Our sect having one more female Core Formation cultivator, I couldn't ask for more." The silver-haired old man agreed to let Liu Yu join the Falling Cloud Sect in one breath.

Han Li was very satisfied with this, chatted with the old man about some things, and then left with the woman.

Afterward, Liu Yu officially changed her name to Liu Mei and officially became a named disciple under Han Li's sect.

Although Han Li had said he would not personally guide this woman's cultivation, he was not stingy when taking her as a disciple. He immediately took out two magic treasures and several bottles of beast pills for Core Formation cultivators and bestowed them upon the woman.

If Liu Mei had been somewhat reluctant to take Han Li as her Master before, but seeing that this Master was so generous as to give such valuable items, she immediately thanked him with a big bow in surprise.

At this moment, she felt for the first time that leaving the Spirit Beast Sect and taking Han Li as her Master didn't seem to be a bad thing.

However, this woman, being exceptionally well-behaved, subsequently copied the insect-controlling secret techniques she knew onto a jade slip and handed it and the few Six-Winged Frost Centipedes to Han Li with both hands.

Han Li naturally accepted this gift of taking her as a disciple with a calm expression.

After Liu Mei left Han Li's cave dwelling, she moved into the White Phoenix Peak of the Falling Cloud Sect and opened her own cave dwelling, becoming a member of the Falling Cloud Sect's high-tier cultivators.

I don't know if it was because the silver-haired old man looked at Han Li's face, but he even appointed this woman as the Deputy Peak Master of the White Phoenix Peak, to assist the woman surnamed Song of the White Phoenix Peak.

Han Li just smiled when he learned of this.

After obtaining those centipedes, he used Neon Grass to mature them. If these Neon Grasses were useful to the Gold-Eating Insects, they should be equally effective for the Six-Winged Frost Centipedes. He himself also entered the secret room, starting to study the newly obtained insect-controlling techniques and the Xuan Mu Hua Ying (Mysterious Wood Transformation Infant) technique left by Xin Xin Ruoyin.

Three months later, in the secret room, Han Li sat on the ground without moving, his eyes slightly closed, green light flowing over his body, as if he were cultivating some cultivation technique.

After a while, he opened his eyes, and after a clear gaze flashed, he immediately grabbed the spirit beast pouch at his waist, threw it into the high air without a word, pointed at it with one hand, and spat out the word "Go."

Immediately, thousands of three-colored Gold-Eating Insects surged out of the pouch, and quickly formed a huge insect cloud about a foot in size, circling and buzzing above Han Li's head.

Han Li did not even blink, but instead stood up, stepped on the mysterious machine, chanted words in his mouth, and suddenly raised both hands, and a piece of green glow flew out of his hand, instantly shrouding the insect cloud within it.

The Gold-Eating Insects instantly stopped buzzing, and instead began to shuttle and cross each other in the green glow like they were possessed, but not a single one collided with another, appearing extremely strange.

Han Li stared at the insect cloud with sparkling eyes, without blinking. But a moment later, he formed a spell with one hand, and at the same time grabbed the insect cloud in the void with the other, letting out a low roar.

The green-flashing insect cloud immediately fell straight down toward Han Li's head, shrouding Han Li within it. The spirit insects circled and danced around Han Li at a speed several times faster than before, actually forming a wind-and-rain-tight insect cover.

Seeing this, Han Li revealed a hint of a smile on his face, but after the smile faded, a profound and obscure sound was spat out from his mouth again.

Immediately, all the spirit insects centered on Han Li and suddenly rushed toward the middle, and the dazzling green light burst out at the same time, making it impossible to look directly at it.

A moment later, the light vanished, but an ancient-looking battle armor with three-colored patterns appeared out of thin air on Han Li's body.

This armor flashed with green light, and the fluorescent light flowed incessantly. At a glance, one could tell it was a sturdy battle armor that was difficult to break.

Seeing this, the smile on Han Li's face became even wider. He stroked the surface of the battle armor with one hand, feeling it was exceptionally smooth, and could not see the slightest abnormality, which was simply incredible.

"Good! I really didn't expect that the idea of using Gold-Eating Insects to condense protective covers and armor that I had thought of in the Void Heaven Palace had already been researched by the Spirit Beast Sect. They truly deserve to be the demonic path's major sect famous for insect-controlling techniques. It is far from what I could imagine by myself." After the smile faded, Han Li sighed and actually muttered to himself like this.
