Chapter 868: Treasure-Passing Technique

Not long after the Clear Spirit Eye divine ability was displayed, Han Li, who was gazing at the small tripod, finally had his expression move, as if he had discovered something.

He raised his hand.

Pointing solemnly at the small tripod, green light flashed at his fingertip, and several thin spiritual threads shot out, disappearing without a trace in a flash.

The Void Heaven Tripod flashed with blue light, and then expanded wildly in the ice flame wrapping, the small tripod that was originally a few inches high expanded to a zhang in size in the blink of an eye, and the flowers, birds, insects, fish, mountains, rivers, and trees carved on the surface of the giant tripod became clearly visible.

Looking at the giant object that had changed in the air, Han Li stood up unhurriedly, beckoned to the air, and the giant tripod fell a few zhang, stopping a few feet in front of Han Li's chest.

Examining this tripod again, Han Li didn't even think about it and raised his hand. With a "peng" sound, a palm passed directly through the blue ice flame and stuck to the tripod wall.

A strange scene appeared; the originally fiercely burning blue flame suddenly turned into a tornado of wind and shot into the sky, followed by a dragon's roar, and a blue dragon a zhang long appeared in the wind, shook its head and tail, and then the dragon head suddenly plunged downward, and after a flash, it actually plunged directly into the tripod lid and disappeared.

At the same time, the pale green surface of the giant tripod instantly transformed into a blue, hazy color. The insects, birds, beasts, and animals on the four walls of the giant tripod suddenly burst into light and actually came to life, wandering and moving on the tripod wall, which was truly incredible.

Seeing this scene, Han Li's expression didn't move at all, but the palm pressed on the tripod wall kept flashing with spiritual light. Several wisps of green clouds were injected into the tripod through his palm, continuously.

And with the massive injection of spiritual power, a buzzing sound began to rise from the tripod.

Under Han Li's gaze, blue ancient characters emerged from the tripod and floated toward the air. After the blue light flickered, these ancient characters formed a strange magic technique scripture in the air three zhang high.

Han Li raised his head and gazed at it, and the spiritual energy he was injecting into the tripod slowed down, and immediately the characters in the air dimmed, looking like they were about to collapse.

Han Li was shocked and hurriedly restored the injection of spiritual energy.

The scripture in the air then regained stability, emitting faint spiritual light.

These scriptures were not long, only a thousand characters or so. But after Han Li took a close look, his face first showed joy, but finally showed a bitter smile.

It seemed there was no need to rack his brains to crack anything; this scripture directly wrote the method to drive the Void Heaven Tripod frankly.

The scripture stated very clearly at the beginning that to drive this tripod, there were two major conditions: first, one must refine the Dry Blue Ice Flame attached to this tripod, and second, one must cultivate an ancient technique called the "Treasure-Passing Technique".

This type of technique was a technique specifically created to drive treasures of the level of Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures, and every Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure handed down from ancient times had its own Treasure-Passing Technique, and the contents were all different.

And among Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures, these techniques were also completely non-interchangeable. After all, every Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure had its own characteristics and power, and only by using the matching technique could one drive the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.

In this way, the Treasure-Passing Technique completely distinguished Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures from ordinary ancient treasures. Only ancient treasures that possessed a Treasure-Passing Technique could be called Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures. Because after cultivating this technique, one could seal the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure in one's body and slowly cultivate it.

Of course, this kind of companion cultivation is not like ordinary magic treasures where one fuses their mind and spirit with the treasure; instead, it is somewhat similar to demonic artifacts, merely hiding the Heaven-Smiting Spirit Treasure within the body for the time being, using the Heaven-Smiting Treasure Technique to influence the treasure's spirituality day and night. In this way, as time passes, the spirituality of the Heaven-Smiting Spirit Treasure will slowly change, becoming consistent and similar to the spiritual sense of the treasure holder, thereby reaching the stage of unity between person and treasure. Only then can one drive the power of the Heaven-Smiting Spirit Treasure to destroy enemies.

However, because the power of Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures was truly too great, when driving this treasure, the cultivator's spiritual sense could only occupy an auxiliary position, so this treasure was not like a life-bound magic treasure that could not be snatched away; on the contrary, at a clever moment, it could be easily snatched away by others. But when others just obtained this treasure, they couldn't use it immediately, and similarly needed to cultivate it with the Treasure-Passing Technique to change the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure's original spiritual marks.

These things were simply mentioned in the scripture.

When he saw this, Han Li was still pleasantly surprised. But when he saw the magic techniques below, his face darkened.

Because this magic technique looked simple, only divided into three ordinary layers, but just cultivating the first layer of this Treasure-Passing Technique required a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation base, and the second and third layers actually required entering the late-stage Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation stages to cultivate.

In this way, even if one could cultivate the first layer of the Treasure-Passing Technique, one could only borrow a little power from the Heaven-Reaching Tripod, which was completely different from his original expectation.

Depressed, he withdrew his palm and cut off the spiritual power injected into the tripod, and the scripture immediately collapsed and disappeared.

Han Li stared at the giant tripod in front of him, his face gloomy, his lips tightly closed.

Although he didn't know how much power the scripture mentioned, Han Li didn't hold much hope for it.

Could these powers be more powerful than his Great Geng Sword Array and Purple Luo Heavenly Fire?

Thinking about it silently in place, Han Li sighed, still intending to study the first layer of the Treasure-Passing Technique of this tripod first. Even if there was only the first layer of magic technique, he could first seal the Void Heaven Tripod in his body and cultivate it first.

Thinking this in his heart, Han Li waved his sleeve, and a green light sprayed out, wrapping the giant tripod in it.

The giant tripod in the clouds shrank rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to its original size.

Reaching out, he grabbed the small tripod in his hand, and then with a flash of spiritual light, the small tripod was collected into his storage bag.

After doing all this, Han Li sat down cross-legged again and slowly closed his eyes, the first layer of the Treasure-Passing Technique appearing in his spiritual sense, and he studied it silently.

This technique was not complicated; Han Li estimated that he could fully understand it in a month or so, but the scripture didn't say how long it would take to cultivate the Void Heaven Tripod's spirituality. Perhaps a year or a half, or maybe ten or eight years. Fortunately, the Treasure-Passing Technique also operated on its own; as long as the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure was sealed in the body, one could let one's spiritual sense influence its spirituality on its own.

Two months later, Han Li walked out of the closed-door room.

The time to understand the Treasure-Passing Technique was even faster than he expected; he understood it thoroughly in only twenty-odd days and successfully sealed the Void Heaven Tripod into his body.

And for the remaining time, he used the materials sent by the elder surnamed Cheng and some puppet remains he had obtained in the Void Heaven Palace in the past to refine a Nascent Soul-level puppet.

This was not because Han Li only had enough materials to refine one, but because the failure rate of refining Nascent Soul-level puppets was surprisingly high; the materials that could have refined three or four actually only succeeded in one.

This made Han Li feel great regret and a headache.

Needless to ask, the puppet Great Elder Elder Dayan wanted to refine must be more complex and advanced than this puppet, so wouldn't the success rate be even more pitifully low? Did he need to prepare several times more materials? This was simply impossible.

Fortunately, as soon as he mentioned this matter, Great Elder Elder Dayan explained it proudly.

He said that this refining method was developed by himself, and under his guidance, the success rate didn't need to be considered at all; it basically wouldn't fail. If it really failed, it must be that there were flaws in the refining method of this puppet. It wouldn't require Han Li to prepare more materials.

Hearing this, Han Li finally let out a sigh of relief.

Now after leaving the secret room, he first went to the forbidden area to see Nangong Wan to check on the progress of the beauty's curse-lifting, returned to the cave dwelling to spend a few days refining a batch of pills that were very useful for Core Formation, sent them to Mu Mu Peiling, and then Han Li bid farewell to the elder surnamed Cheng and Lü Luo and went to keep his appointment with Venerable Brother Zhiyang.

Although Brother Cheng and Lü Luo were extremely busy receiving resources and spirit mines, they still sent Han Li out of the Mount Mount Yunmeng mountain range before stopping.

This made Han Li smile in his heart.

Leaving the Falling Cloud Sect, Han Li turned into a startling rainbow and flew northward all the way.

The Seven Spirit Seas were in the Boundless Sea north of the Xi Kingdom; it was said that as long as one reached the seaside, one could see the great whirlpool and the seven spirit islands in a day's journey.

And with Han Li's terrifying cultivation base, even without using his full strength, his flying speed was astonishing.

Seven days later, Han Li appeared on the sea surface. Before he had discovered the so-called Seven Spirit Islands, he had already felt the astonishing changes in the nearby sea area.

Although the originally muddy seawater couldn't be called clear, it already had a bit of azure color. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, small fish and shrimp-like sea creatures also appeared in the sea, while the few fierce sea beasts that should have existed were nowhere to be seen.

The spiritual energy nearby was also a world of difference compared to when he first came; it seemed the rumors were really not false at all.

After another half a day, Han Li finally felt a massive spiritual energy source in a very distant place, which was clearly arrogant.

And near this massive spiritual source, there were seven smaller spiritual energy fluctuations coming. It seemed these were the so-called Seven Spirit Islands.

Han Li's curiosity rose, and his flying speed couldn't help but increase by three points.

When he faintly saw a black dot on the sea, a small team of cultivators appeared in front, about six or seven people, most of whom were Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the leader was a Core Formation stage, actually a palace-dressed woman with a bit of beauty.

Han Li didn't intend to hide his tracks, so this team of cultivators coming face-to-face naturally saw Han Li at a glance and came to greet him directly.

"Greetings, Senior; the juniors are disciples under the Hehuan Sect. We are ordered by several seniors to blockade this sea area. I wonder what business the Senior has coming here; can the juniors report it?" The palace-dressed woman swept her gaze over Han Li, then her face changed greatly, and she bowed respectfully, saying respectfully.

"Blockade? It seems Brother Brother Zhiyang didn't speak falsely; something really went wrong here." Han Li didn't answer the woman, but frowned and muttered to himself.

"Could the Senior be Senior Han Li of the Falling Cloud Sect?" The palace-dressed woman asked cautiously after observing Han Li a few more times.

"That's right, it is Han Mou. I am here at the invitation of Venerable Brother Zhiyang; do I still need to report before I can pass?" Han Li said with a smile.

The cultivators opposite were in a commotion upon hearing Han Li's name.
