Chapter 873: Stone Tablet Fragments
For these words of Old Monster Hehuan, neither Han Li nor the others had any objections, and the group returned to Spirit Turtle Island first. WWW. feiazw. COM Web
Han Li asked Venerable Brother Zhiyang for a secret room, intending to meditate and rest for a night, while Wei Wei Wuyuan and the others went to the array masters to get the array disk first.
Early the next morning, Han Li received a sound transmission from Venerable Brother Zhiyang in the secret room and arrived at the hall.
He saw Wei Wei Wuyuan and the other three sitting on chairs, talking about something together. Raising his eyebrows, Han Li walked over without standing on ceremony.
"Fellow Daoist Han, please sit. This is the specific location where the array disk should be buried according to the sealing array we researched; I hope you will carry it with you and remember it clearly." As soon as Wei Wei Wuyuan saw Han Li coming over, he greeted him politely and flipped his palm, placing a pale red jade slip on the table in front of him.
"Oh! Let Han Mou see." Han Li said without changing his expression.
With a beckon, the jade slip flew out on its own with a "sou" sound and was grabbed by him, then he sat on another chair nearby casually and immersed his spiritual sense into the slip.
After a while, Han Li's expression changed, and when he withdrew his spiritual sense from the slip, his face darkened completely.
"Three Fellow Daoists, letting Han Mou go deep into such a place to bury the array disk, are you just wanting Han Mou to go and not return?" Han Li threw the jade slip onto the table, raised his head, and said coldly.
"Why would you say that, Fellow Daoist? Although the location for burying the array disk is a bit deep, with your Evil-Warding Divine Lightning to protect your body, Fellow Daoist, it should be completely fine." Old Monster Hehuan said calmly without changing his expression.
"Is that so? Does Brother Hehuan think that Han Mou's Evil-Warding Divine Lightning will never be consumed? Or is it that as long as the array disk is buried, there is no need to consider the matter of returning?" Han Li glanced at the old monster and said with an angry tone.
"Listening to your meaning, Fellow Daoist, the Evil-Warding Divine Lightning you possess is not enough to support a round trip. But Wei remembers that when you fought the ancient demon in the Fallen Devil Valley, the amount of Evil-Warding Divine Lightning you drove was quite a lot. It should not be a problem." Wei Wei Wuyuan frowned and said slowly.
"It seems the several Fellow Daoists have never gone deep into the demonic qi to a certain depth." Han Li said with a strange look on his face.
"Eh! What do you mean by these words, Fellow Daoist..." Wei Wei Wuyuan was stunned.
Old Monster Hehuan's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak. Venerable Brother Zhiyang lowered his head, as if pondering something.
"If you had gone deep into the demonic qi to a certain depth, you should be very clear that the deeper you go into the demonic qi abyss, the greater the demonic nature contained in the demonic qi. The consumption of the Evil-Warding Divine Lightning is also faster. This is a conclusion I reached after going deep for two or three hundred zhang. Although Han Mou possesses some Evil-Warding Divine Lightning, in the demonic qi thousands of zhang below, I definitely won't be able to support it for long." Han Li put his hands in front of his chest, crossed his fingers, and said coldly.
"Is there such a thing? Brother Brother Zhiyang, you have gone the deepest into the demonic qi among the three of us. Is this matter true?" Wei Wei Wuyuan frowned and asked Venerable Brother Zhiyang.
"It is indeed true. When I used secret techniques to go deeper into the demonic qi, I did feel that the loss of magic power was faster than when I first entered the demonic qi. I originally thought that Fellow Daoist Han hadn't discovered this matter, and was just about to remind him!" Venerable Brother Zhiyang sighed and nodded in admission.
"If that's the case, it seems that even if we had let a cultivator carry demon-repelling treasures to enter the demonic qi, even if they were safe and sound at the beginning, they would still have the danger of being demonized after going deep into it." Old Monster Hehuan's face also changed.
"That's right, so I have never been very interested in the previous plan. But because there was no other way before Fellow Daoist Han appeared, I didn't stop it." Venerable Brother Zhiyang revealed a bitter smile.
Han Li watched the conversation and expressions of these three coldly, but felt somewhat depressed in his heart.
He truly couldn't tell whether these three were truly ignorant of this matter or if they were deliberately acting in bad faith. But in any case, this was the other party's mistake. He naturally couldn't agree to this risky matter easily.
The hall fell into silence.
Knowing clearly that it was going to die, and still asking people to bury the array disk, no one would definitely do such a thing.
As for using some great righteousness to pressure Han Li, that was even more impossible.
Those present were all sensible people. With their cultivation base reaching this level, let alone just a small half of Tiannan being affected by demonic qi,
Within a radius of more than ten zhang, all the demonic Qi was swept clean after the golden python shot past.
The "giant stone" below was revealed clearly under the illumination of the spiritual light.
Han Li looked closely and his expression froze.
It was no "giant stone" at all, but clearly a platform that looked like an altar. It looked quite large, and he couldn't see the full picture within the range covered by the golden arcs.
Han Li felt somewhat stunned.
That the place for burying the formation disks, which those formation masters had researched, was such a place—this matter was becoming interesting.
Han Li immediately drove the golden arcs, flying rapidly in a circle around this altar, and finally had a rough impression of this platform.
This was a square platform about an acre in size. Both its style and the patterns engraved on the surrounding stone walls indicated that it was from a very long time ago; it was definitely something built by ancient cultivators.
When Han Li flew back to his original spot, he beckoned to the small sword still stuck in the ground, and immediately the sword transformed into a golden light and shot back to Han Li.
Han Li estimated slightly in his heart and immediately flew toward the center of the platform.
As a result, after a moment, a few points of white light flickered in the distance.
His heart stirred, and his escape speed increased by three points. He finally saw the situation at the center of the platform clearly. A stone tablet that had been shattered into several pieces lay quietly there, with only a little bit of the stone tablet's foundation still standing.
His eyes flickered a few times, and he examined the remains of the stone tablet.
Although the stone tablet was destroyed, one could still see some broken talisman seals engraved on it that he couldn't understand, and the stone tablet didn't know what material it was refined from, but it seemed the spiritual essence hadn't dissipated yet, with milky white spiritual light flickering on it from time to time.
"Could this be something no less precious than Golden Thunder Bamboo?"
Han Li thought this in surprise. But then he grabbed into the void toward the ground, and a fist-sized fragment of the stone tablet flew over out of thin air.
With a flash of spiritual light on his five fingers, his entire palm, wrapped in green light, grabbed the stone fragment, and he lowered his head to stare at it.
It was grey and unremarkable. If it weren't for the wisps of spiritual light occasionally emitted from the stone fragment, Han Li really wouldn't have been able to see anything special about it.
Han Li looked at it over and over several times, his eyebrows moved, and his five fingers suddenly exerted force, applying a great force to the object.
A strange scene appeared.
The stone fragment didn't become indestructible or easily turn into a pile of stone powder as Han Li had imagined, but after the white light flickered a few times, it suddenly became incomparably soft, and his five fingers sank deeply into the stone fragment.
Han Li was startled.
"What is this? Senior Elder Dayan, do you know this object?" Han Li frowned and transmitted his voice to the Great Expansion Divine Monarch.
"No, I have never seen this thing. This is not strange. There are many strange materials from ancient times; no one can recognize everything. However, you might as well throw a piece in for me to see. I happen to be idle, so it's just right to study it." The Great Expansion Divine Monarch's lazy voice came.
Han Li didn't think much and threw the stone fragment toward the bamboo tube behind him.
After the bamboo tube flickered with spiritual light, a piece of white mist shot out, rolling the strange stone fragment into the tube.
And the moment Han Li grabbed the stone fragment just now, he also saw from the traces of the fracture that the stone tablet hadn't been destroyed for long. It seemed the stone tablet was originally an important object for suppressing the formation eye, which was why it was destroyed at the same time the formation had an accident.
Just from this point, the material of this stone tablet could absolutely not be an ordinary object.
Thinking of this, Han Li didn't stand on ceremony. After a sweep of green mist, the remaining stone tablet fragments were all collected into his storage bag. He flicked his ten fingers, and more than ten green sword Qi shot out, fiercely striking the stone tablet foundation, wanting to shatter these materials and take them away as well.
A series of "Boom Boom" sounds erupted, greatly exceeding Han Li's expectations. After a flash of green light, the sword Qi sank into the stone tablet foundation without a sound, disappearing without a trace. It had no effect at all.
"Eh! It really is somewhat strange."
Han Li was taken aback. After hesitating for a moment, he stopped paying attention to the remaining materials, shifted his direction, and shot out several more sword Qi.
Although the remaining Evil-Warding Divine Thunder was enough to support him for a long time, Han Li didn't dare to stay in such a dangerous place for long and prepared to start planting the formation disks.
A series of muffled sounds came, and next to the stone tablet, a pit a zhang deep appeared there.
Han Li flipped his palm calmly, and after a flash of white light, the exquisitely abnormal formation disk appeared in his hand. Han Li didn't hesitate to shake his hand, and the formation disk instantly transformed into a ball of white light and flew into the deep pit.
He formed hand seals with both hands, and immediately the formation disk in the pit flickered with spiritual light. Han Li stared at the formation disk with a solemn expression, not blinking an eye.
After a moment, the formation disk emitted a clear chime, followed by a milky white pillar of light as thick as an arm that suddenly shot into the sky from the formation disk, instantly disappearing into the high sky without a trace.
Han Li felt relieved.
Since everything about the formation disk was normal, it meant he had found the right place, and there was no problem burying it here.
Thinking of this, Han Li's expression relaxed, and he flicked his large sleeve, and a gust of green, misty force surged out.
After the gale, all the rubble around was swept back into the deep pit.
He struck out a magic technique, and the pile of rubble that was originally somewhat bulging emitted a faint white light under the sound of Han Li's low incantations, and then the rubble began to melt and condense into one under the effect of magic power.
After a moment, the surface of the deep pit became incomparably flat and smooth, as if there had never been a deep pit there.
He walked around the location of the original deep pit a few times, and seeing that everything was normal and there was nothing unusual, Han Li nodded, revealing a look of satisfaction.
After casually flicking a few magic techniques outward, they hit the golden electric pythons that were wandering nearby.
A few bursting sounds erupted, and the golden pythons transformed into points of golden starlight and disappeared into thin air without a trace. The demonic Qi that was originally isolated in the distance immediately rolled and crowded over again.
Han Li pondered for a moment, and immediately the golden arcs on his light barrier flashed, and he was about to rise into the air and fly back to the sea surface.
But just at this moment, the voice of the Great Expansion Divine Monarch came from his spiritual sense.
"Kid, wait!"
"Does Senior have any instructions?" Han Li was startled, and after his figure paused, he didn't leave the platform immediately.
"Since this is the location of the formation eye, it should be the place where the demonic Qi is most dense, and this demonic Qi has been suppressed since ancient times. It's possible that a few pieces of Demon Marrow Diamond have formed here. According to ancient records, this thing is the only material for refining a certain supreme treasure of the demonic path. You should look inside this platform and in the underground nearby to see if you can really find this object?" The Great Expansion Divine Monarch said faintly.
"Demon Marrow Diamond!" A hint of strangeness rose on Han Li's face. But after thinking for a moment, he didn't hesitate to pat his storage bag, and a yellow, misty wolf-headed jade Jade Ruyi appeared in his hand.
This was the ancient treasure that Silver Moon had originally inhabited. Although the artifact spirit was gone, it could still perform a simplified Earth Escape Technique. It just couldn't be as masterful as when Silver Moon used it.
