?Chapter 872: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 869 Treasure Commanding Decree Chapter 872: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 869 Treasure Commanding Decree With the Brightsight Spirit Eyes Divine Skill deployed not long ago, Han Li, who had been gazing at the small cauldron, suddenly had a change in expression, as if he had discovered something.


    With a raise of his hand,


    he pointed solemnly at the small cauldron, and from the tip of his finger, a flash of green light sparked as several slender spirit threads shot out, vanishing without a trace in a blink of an eye.


    The azure light of the Heavenvoid Cauldron flickered, and then amidst the envelopment of the Celestial Ice Flame, it swelled violently.


    Within the blink of an eye, the originally inches high small cauldron expanded to a size of about a zhang, and the depictions of birds, insects, fish, mountains, and trees on the surface of the Giant Cauldron became vivid and clearly visible.


    Looking at the massive object that transformed in the air, Han Li calmly stood up and with a flick of his hand toward the sky, the Giant Cauldron fell several zhang, coming to a stop a few feet in front of his chest.


    Taking another look at the cauldron, Han Li, without a second thought, lifted his hand, and with a “bang,” his palm pierced through the blue Celestial Ice Flame and pressed directly against the cauldron’s surface.


    A bizarre scene unfolded-the originally raging blue flames suddenly transformed into a dragon-shaped tornado that soared into the sky.


    Then a dragon’s cry echoed, and a zhang-long blue flood dragon appeared within the wind, shaking its head and flicking its tail.


    With a sudden thrust downward, the dragon’s head plunged into the cauldron’s lid and vanished in a flash.


    Simultaneously, the surface of the Giant Cauldron transformed instantaneously from a pale green to a hazy blue.


    The creatures painted on the four walls of the cauldron suddenly came to life after a burst of brilliance, moving about erratically on the surface-it was truly inconceivable.


    Upon witnessing this scene, Han Li’s expression did not change in the slightest, but the hand resting against the cauldron wall kept flickering with spiritual brilliance.


    Streams of green light passed through his palm and rapidly infused into the cauldron, pouring in an incessant flow.

    As a large amount of Spiritual Power was infused, the cauldron began to hum.


    Under Han Li’s watchful gaze, a series of ancient blue characters emerged from the cauldron and began drifting into the air.


    After the blue light flickered wildly, these ancient characters formed a strange incantation three zhang high in the air.


    Han Li lifted his head and peered at them, and as he did so, the infusion of Spiritual Energy into the cauldron from his hand briefly slowed, causing the text in the air to dim as though it was about to dissipate immediately.


    Startled, Han Li quickly resumed the infusion of Spiritual Energy.


    This restored the stability of the aerial text, which began emitting a faint spiritual brilliance.


    The text wasn’t long, merely a thousand or so characters.


    However, when Han Li scrutinized it closely, his face first lit up with joy, but then a bitter smile appeared.


    It seemed there was no need to decipher anything laboriously-the text laid out plainly the methods to operate the Heavenvoid Cauldron.


    The incantations began with clear requirements: one must first refine the Celestial Ice Flame attached to the cauldron, and one must cultivate an ancient technique called the Treasure Commanding Decree.


    This particular Decree was created solely to manipulate heavenly skill spirit treasures of this caliber.


    Moreover, each spirit treasure passed down from ancient times has its own unique Treasure Commanding Decree, with each having different content.


    Among these spirit treasures, the Decrees are completely non-interchangeable.


    After all, each spirit treasure has its own characteristics and powers, and only by using the matching Decree can one possibly drive the spirit treasure.


    In this way, the Treasure Commanding Decree completely distinguished heavenly skill spirit treasures from ordinary ancient treasures.


    Only those ancient treasures that possessed a Treasure Commanding Decree could truly be called spirit treasures.


    Because only after cultivating this Decree could one seal the spirit treasure within oneself for a slow refinement.


    Of course, this kind of cultivation wasn’t like that of ordinary magic treasures, where one’s mind would fuse with the object.


    It was somewhat similar to evil treasures instead: one simply hid the heavenly skill spirit treasure within oneself and used the Treasure Commanding Decree day and night to influence the spirit of the object.


    In this manner, over time, the spirit of the spirit treasure would slowly change, becoming more akin to the Divine Sense of its possessor, thus achieving unity between the cultivator and the object.


    Only then could one harness the spirit treasure’s power to obliterate enemies.


    However, given the tremendous power of the heavenly skill spirit treasures, a cultivator’s Divine Sense could only play a supporting role; thus, unlike life-bound magic treasures, these could be easily snatched away at an opportune moment.


    But if someone else just obtained it, they wouldn’t be able to use it immediately-they would also need to cultivate it with the Treasure Commanding Decree to change the original spiritual imprints of the spirit treasure.


    The above matters were briefly mentioned within the text.


    At this point, Han Li was ecstatic, but as he continued reading the rest of the Decree, his face suddenly became unsightly.


    Though it seemed simple, the Decree was divided into mere layers, and just to cultivate the first layer of the Treasure Commanding Decree, one would need to be at the mid Nascent Soul stage-meanwhile, the second and third layers required one to reach the late Nascent Soul stage and the Divinity Transformation stage, respectively.


    As a consequence, even if he managed to master the first layer of the Decree, he would only be able to utilize a fraction of the cauldron’s power, far from what he initially anticipated.


    With a sigh of frustration, he withdrew his palm, cutting off the infusion of Spiritual Power, which immediately caused the text to disperse and disappear.


    Han Li stared at the Giant Cauldron in front of him with a grim expression, his lips tightly sealed.


    Although he didn’t know exactly how much of the mentioned “some power” was in the text, Han Li didn’t hold much hope for it.


    Could these powers even be more formidable than his Aureate Sword Formation or the Purple Apex Flames?


    In silence, he contemplated for a moment before sighing resignedly; he nevertheless decided to first attempt to understand the first layer of the cauldron’s Treasure Commanding Decree.


    Even if it was only the first layer, he could still seal the Heavenvoid Cauldron within himself and begin slow cultivation.


    With this thought, Han Li flipped his robe, and a burst of green light spilled forth, engulfing the Giant Cauldron.


    Within the luminescence, the Giant Cauldron rapidly shrank, instantly returning to its original size.


    With a stretch of his hand, he seized the small cauldron and then, in a flash of inspiration, stored it in his storage pouch.


    After completing these tasks, Han Li once again sat down cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes.


    The incantations of the first layer of the Treasure Commanding Decree emerged within his divine sense, and he quietly began to comprehend them.


    This cultivation technique was not complex.


    Han Li estimated that he could fully comprehend it within a month at most.


    However, it was uncertain how long it would take for the Heavenvoid Cauldron to cultivate its spirit, as the texts made no mention of this timeframe.


    Perhaps it would take a year and a half, maybe even eight to ten years.


    Fortunately, the Treasure Commanding Decree operated on its own; once he sealed the spirit treasure within his body, it would automatically influence its spirit.


    …


    More than two months later, Han Li emerged from his seclusion.


    Comprehending the Treasure Commanding Decree took him much less time than anticipated.


    In just over twenty days, he had thoroughly understood it and successfully sealed the Heavenvoid Cauldron inside his body.


    During the remaining time, he used the materials provided by Brother Cheng and the remains of each puppet he had obtained in the Heavenvoid Hall long ago to craft a Nascent Soul puppet.


    It wasn’t that Han Li only had enough materials to make one puppet, but the failure rate for Nascent Soul puppets was astonishingly high.


    What should have been enough material to make three or four puppets ended up yielding only one successful product.


    This greatly disappointed Han Li, and he felt a headache coming on.


    No doubt, the puppets Monarch Great Development wanted to craft would be even more complex and advanced, which meant an even lower success rate.


    Was he expected to double or triple the already prepared materials?


    That was simply impossible.


    Luckily, as soon as he mentioned this matter, Monarch Great Development explained with a hint of pride.


    He claimed that he personally developed this refining formula and that under his guidance, Han Li needn’t worry about the success rate-it was almost guaranteed.


    If there were any failures, it would likely be due to flaws in the puppet-crafting method itself, not due to a lack of materials.


    Relieved by this explanation, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief.


    Now, after leaving the secret room, he first visited Nangong Wan in the forbidden area to check on her curse-lifting progress.


    Then he spent a few days in his cave dwelling crafting a batch of medicinal pills that were particularly beneficial for Core Formation, which he sent to Mu Peiling.


    Afterward, Han Li bid farewell to Brother Cheng and Lu Luo to meet with Lord Sunreach as promised.


    Although Brother Cheng and Lu Luo were extremely busy dealing with the acquisition of resources and spirit stone mines, they insisted on escorting Han Li all the way out of the Dreamcloud Mountains before stopping.


    This brought a wry smile to Han Li’s face.


    …


    After leaving the Drifting Cloud Sect, Han Li transformed into a brilliant rainbow, speeding northward.


    The Seven Spirit Islands were located in The Endless Sea north of the State of Xi.


    It was said that once one reached the seaside, it would only take a day’s journey to see the grand vortex and the seven Spirit Islands.


    Considering Han Li’s formidable cultivation, even without exerting his full strength, his speed was astoundingly fast.


    Seven days later, Han Li appeared above the sea.


    Before he even caught sight of the fabled Seven Spirit Islands, he sensed astonishing changes in the nearby waters.


    The murky waters were still not what one would call clear, but they now had a certain azure quality.


    A sweep of his divine sense revealed some small fish and shrimp and other marine life in the sea, whereas the usual ferocious sea beasts were nowhere to be seen.


    The spiritual energy nearby was a world apart from what it had been at the beginning.


    It seemed that the rumors were indeed not unfounded.


    Another half day passed, and Han Li finally sensed a vast source of spiritual energy in the extremely distant waters, unmistakably flamboyant.


    Close to this immense wellspring of energy were seven smaller fluctuations of spiritual energy.


    Presumably, these were the so-called Seven Spirit Islands.


    Curiosity piqued, Han Li unintentionally increased his speed by a third.


    Just as a black dot faintly appeared on the horizon, a small group of cultivators appeared ahead-about six or seven, mostly Foundation Establishment cultivators, led by a woman in palace garb who had a Core Formation cultivation and possessed some beauty.


    Han Li had no intention of concealing his presence, and the group of oncoming cultivators naturally spotted him immediately, heading straight for him.


    “Greetings, senior.


    We are disciples of the Harmonious Bond Sect on a mission to block off this area of the sea.


    May I ask what brings senior here and if there is any message I can convey on your behalf?” The woman in palace garb swept a glance over Han Li, and seeing him, her face changed dramatically as she bowed deeply and spoke respectfully.


    “Blockade?


    It seems Fellow Daoist Sunreach didn’t speak in vain; there indeed seems to be an issue here.” Han Li did not answer the woman’s question but frowned and muttered to himself instead.


    “Could it be that the gentleman is the famed Han Li from the Drifting Cloud Sect?” The woman in palace garb took a few more cautious glances at Han Li, and after a moment of surprise, tentatively asked.


    “Indeed, I am Han Li.


    I’ve come at Lord Sunreach’s invitation.


    Is it necessary for me to wait for permission before proceeding?” Han Li said with a smirk.


    Upon hearing Han Li’s name, a stir erupted among the group of cultivators.
