Chapter 870: Exploring the Whirlpool
"Your sect came from the Great Jin?" This was far beyond Han Li's expectations, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
"That's right. But that was something from unknown years ago. Because the era is too long ago. Our Taizhen Sect has long since broken the inheritance in this regard. Apart from a few special ancient techniques, most of our sect's magic techniques and inheritance have nothing to do with the Zhenji Sect now. If it weren't for this matter, I accidentally found this ancient classic hidden in the sect's secret place, this matter would probably never have been known by anyone." Venerable Brother Zhiyang said with emotion.
"Fellow Daoist Brother Zhiyang, what was mentioned in the classics about the sealing array? Did you find a way to lift this catastrophe from it?" Han Li asked thoughtfully.
"Although it mentioned the sealing matter solemnly and said it was our lineage's permanent duty, it was quite vague about relevant information and didn't have anything particularly detailed. Fortunately, it provided the general composition of the sealing array. After several years of research by several array masters we gathered, we finally found a method to repair the array." The Daoist said solemnly.
"However, this method, apart from concentrating a large number of high-tier cultivators, also requires one person to go deep into the demonic qi and bury an array disk in the deep seabed we specified. This is also the reason why we asked Fellow Daoist Han to come here. Only with your Evil-Warding Divine Lightning to protect your body, Fellow Daoist, can you truly restrain the demonic qi from entering your body and being demonized, and can you go deep to investigate the situation." Wei Wei Wuyuan said calmly.
Han Li frowned upon hearing this.
"Looking at the appearance of the several Fellow Daoists, you should have researched this method for a period of time. And Han Mou only returned to the Falling Cloud Sect recently. Before this, I wonder what method the several Fellow Daoists intended to use to send the array disk into the depths of the demonic qi." Han Li asked calmly after his eyebrows relaxed.
Wei Wei Wuyuan and Venerable Brother Zhiyang were stunned upon hearing this and couldn't help but exchange glances.
"It seems nothing can be hidden from Fellow Daoist Han. We indeed prepared another method before. We originally intended to invite several demon-repelling treasures from our major forces and concentrate them on a cultivator who practiced evil-warding techniques, letting him enter the demonic qi to give it a try. But the demonic qi below is truly powerful; this method only had a four or five-tenths chance of success, and the possibility of failure was very high. But your Evil-Warding Divine Lightning, Fellow Daoist, is different; the evil-warding power of the divine lightning is specifically to restrain demonic qi, so replacing it with you, Fellow Daoist, to do this matter is almost an easy task." Venerable Brother Zhiyang said with a smile.
"So that's how it is! This is indeed a good method." Han Li said with a light smile.
"Logically speaking, since it concerns the entire Tiannan, Han Mou should naturally agree to this matter without hesitation. But before agreeing, Han Mou would like to go and see how powerful that boundless demonic qi is first. I don't want to do things I'm not sure about." Han Li's eyes flickered, and he said this.
"This is naturally appropriate. Old Monster Hehuan is currently monitoring the changes in the demonic qi near the great whirlpool; why don't you go and see it now, Fellow Daoist. After all, the sooner we re-seal the demonic qi, the sooner we can be at ease." Venerable Brother Zhiyang thought about it and agreed immediately. Wei Wei Wuyuan also nodded, without any objection.
Seeing the performance of these three, Han Li felt a little relieved in his heart. It seemed there was no trap in this matter, and there was likely no problem.
Thus, the three left Venerable Brother Zhiyang's cave dwelling and headed straight for the direction of the great whirlpool.
After flying for over a hundred miles, they finally saw a white, hazy light ball flashing in the distance on the sea surface, with large patches of five-colored clouds condensing and rotating in the high sky, like a massive inverted funnel, and one end was vaguely connected to the light ball below, forming a peculiar and strange scene.
When Han Li saw this scene, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
Under his spiritual sense scan, both the white light ball and the five-colored clouds contained astonishingly pure spiritual energy, which was slightly inferior even to top-tier spiritual vein lands.
"This is the great whirlpool!" Han Li muttered to himself.
"That's right, it's here. Old Monster Hehuan is meditating on the reef over there. Let's go over and join him first." Venerable Brother Zhiyang pointed to a certain direction in the distance and suddenly said.
Scanning with his spiritual sense in the direction pointed, he really discovered a black-robed burly man meditating cross-legged on a reef ten zhang away from the light ball.
It was Old Monster Hehuan!
When Han Li scanned over, the old monster's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a pair of cold, sharp eyes looked at Han Li's side, and he suddenly stood up.
Then with a sway of his body, the old monster appeared in the high sky.
At this time, the flying lights of Han Li and the others also shot over.
"Hehuan! Fellow Daoist Han has already arrived; it seems we will be able to repair the array shortly." Venerable Brother Zhiyang greeted with a smile after stopping his flying light near Old Monster Hehuan. Han Li and Wei Wei Wuyuan also appeared one after another.
"Oh! Fellow Daoist Han is willing to help, which is naturally a good thing. With divine abilities like the Evil-Warding Divine Lightning, it will naturally be a success." Old Monster Hehuan didn't reveal a smile, only looking at Han Li coldly before saying, appearing somewhat indifferent.
Seeing this scene, Han Li was a bit surprised, but after a little thought, he understood what was going on and couldn't help but smile faintly.
The Evil-Warding Divine Lightning specifically restrained magic techniques, and naturally posed a great threat to demon cultivators who practiced ancient magic techniques. As the number one cultivator of the Demon Path, he naturally couldn't give him a good face. And when Venerable Brother Zhiyang met him last time, he was exceptionally polite; perhaps he also had the intention of winning him over to counter the Demon Path.
Han Li shook his head secretly, although he was a bit depressed, he didn't take it too much to heart.
With his current cultivation base, even if Old Monster Hehuan had murderous intent toward him, he had more than enough ability to protect himself. There was no need to be overly fearful.
What's more, he also believed that this old monster would definitely not do such an unwise thing.
Wei Wei Wuyuan had already explained Han Li's intention to see the demonic qi. Old Monster Hehuan frowned upon hearing this, but still nodded and agreed.
Thus, led by the three, Han Li followed and flew toward the nearby light ball.
After getting closer, the so-called great whirlpool fell into Han Li's eyes clearly.
On the sea surface not far away, a large hole three or four hundred zhang in diameter appeared. It was called a whirlpool, but there was no seawater at all in the center; instead, wisps of pure white spiritual energy gushed out from time to time, followed by the spiritual energy floating into the sky, turning into large patches of clouds under the sunlight, covering half the sky, appearing exceptionally gorgeous.
Han Li took a deep breath of the somewhat humid sea air, feeling the purity of the spiritual energy nearby, and was somewhat shocked in his heart.
This great whirlpool had appeared for quite a long time. If it released such a massive amount of spiritual energy every day, the amount of spiritual energy lost was truly astonishing!
Because he couldn't see the situation deep in the whirlpool from the side, Han Li didn't say anything and thought about it, green light flashed on his body, and his figure appeared in the high sky of the center, intending to look down.
But as soon as he appeared in the sky, Han Li felt a massive suction force make his figure sink, followed by a massive force pulling and dragging him downward.
Han Li was shocked, but his protective spiritual light flashed wildly, immediately forming a layer of blue, hazy light shield to protect his whole body, and relying on his profound cultivation base, his body only fell a zhang before immediately remaining motionless as if nothing had happened. Only then did Han Li feel relieved and look downward, his pupils flashing with blue light slightly.
This scene made the expressions of Brother Zhiyang and the others watching Han Li change.
"Brother Brother Zhiyang, I remember that in our sect, Elder Ma, who was in the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, also flew to the sky above this place without using any magic treasure, but it seemed he fell more than ten zhang before he could barely stop his figure." Wei Wei Wuyuan turned his head and suddenly said solemnly to Venerable Brother Zhiyang.
"That's right, that happened. The suction force in the center of the whirlpool is extraordinary; even we would sway if we weren't on guard." The Daoist also said with a look of surprise.
"That's right. I always felt that Fellow Daoist Han's technique seemed somewhat peculiar, clearly much deeper than cultivators of the same rank. Now that he has advanced to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, his magic power has become even more pure, far beyond ordinary cultivators. I really don't know what kind of technique he practices to have such a miraculous effect." Wei Wei Wuyuan tutted twice, somewhat enviously.
"That's unclear. Although some top-tier techniques can indeed make a cultivator's magic power greatly increase. But if they are not extremely difficult to cultivate, they have some major flaws. Some are not worth the loss. I don't know if this Fellow Daoist Han practices one of them." Venerable Brother Zhiyang hesitated, unable to say for sure.
Old Monster Hehuan on the side didn't say a word, but his face darkened.
At this time, Han Li's figure swayed in the sky, and after green light flashed, he appeared beside the Three Great Cultivators.
"The spiritual energy in this whirlpool is indeed astonishing; there is such a massive suction force on the sea surface; I don't know what dangers there are if we go deeper." Han Li said calmly.
"Because of the ten-thousand-zhang spiritual energy separation, spiritual sense cannot penetrate below. To observe the demonic qi, one can only see it by going deep to the bottom. Although the pressure below is not as impossible to resist as we deliberately spread, you should still summon a few more treasures when you go down, Fellow Daoist. Moreover, in the whirlpool, there are numerous small spiritual energy whirlpools; once you are rolled into them, there is some danger. How about this, I will accompany Fellow Daoist Han for a trip." Venerable Brother Zhiyang, not knowing what he was thinking, actually said this.
"It would be even better if the Venerable is willing to accompany Han Mou for a trip. Thank you, Brother Brother Zhiyang." Hearing this, Han Li was overjoyed, and the original concerns in his heart disappeared completely.
Thus, Han Li and Venerable Brother Zhiyang turned into green and white startling rainbows and dived into the whirlpool, disappearing without a trace.
Immediately, only Wei Wei Wuyuan and Old Monster Hehuan remained on the sea surface, and the two looked at the center of the whirlpool silently, without saying anything for a long time.
"Brother Wei, what is your view on this Fellow Daoist Han of the Falling Cloud Sect?" After an unknown amount of time, Old Monster Hehuan suddenly said lightly without turning his head.
"What is my view? What do you mean by this, Fellow Daoist?" Wei Wei Wuyuan laughed lightly upon hearing this, saying leisurely.
