?Chapter 873: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 870 Boundless Demonic Qi Chapter 873: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 870 Boundless Demonic Qi “Han Li is now so well known in the Heavenly South Region that no one is unaware of him, no one is ignorant of him,” the cultivators exclaimed with a sense of awe and reverence on their faces.


    “If it’s Elder Han, there’s naturally no need to report his arrival.


    Lord Sunreach already instructed us to let Elder through once he arrives.


    I will now guide Elder Han to Spiritual Turtle Island,” said the woman in palace attire respectfully, without daring any delay.


    Han Li nodded, expressionless, and said nothing more.


    The woman in palace attire then gave a few instructions to the cultivators behind her and led Han Li away into the sky.


    In the distance, a small dot gradually enlarged, revealing a small island, which was roughly about thirty square kilometers in area.


    “Elder Han, this is Spiritual Phoenix Island, occupied by our Harmonious Bond Sect.


    Sublime Truth Sect’s Spiritual Turtle Island is located just adjacent to it,” the woman explained carefully, seemingly aware that it was Han Li’s first visit to this place.


    Han Li glanced in the direction the woman had indicated; perhaps the distance was too great, for he didn’t spot the other island at that moment.


    However, in another direction, a huge font of spiritual energy, with its astonishing fluctuations, became clearer.


    Such powerful spiritual energy was definitely the source of the rumored massive outflow of spiritual energy creating a vortex.


    Han Li pondered this as he continued to follow the woman in palace attire and flew further.


    An hour later, the so-called Spiritual Turtle Island came into sight.

    This island was slightly larger than Spiritual Phoenix Island, which was previously mentioned as being occupied by the Harmonious Bond Sect, and from above, its outline did indeed slightly resemble a spirit turtle.


    Before nearing the island, the woman in palace attire had already sent out a Sound Transmission Talisman, so as soon as Han Li and his companion flew close to the island, a streak of white light greeted them.


    “Is that Fellow Daoist Sunreach?


    For a venerable Daoist like you to come and greet me personally, I feel unworthy!” Seeing the familiar streak of light, Han Li halted in the air far away and transmitted his voice.


    “Hehe, Fellow Daoist Han is a man of his word.


    This humble Daoist naturally ought to come out to welcome you,” Lord Sunreach seemed very happy to see Han Li, responding brightly with his voice transmission.


    Then the white light traveled forward to a point ten yards in front of Han Li, where it receded to reveal the figure of a Taoist.


    Han Li smiled slightly and bowed his hands toward the other party.


    “The Daoist friend should follow me to my cave dwelling for a gathering.


    I have already notified Brother Wei Wuya.


    However, the old eccentric from Harmonious Bond sect has important affairs to handle and cannot afford to come,” said Lord Sunreach as he instructed the woman in palace attire to go back first, then turned to Han Li with a smiling expression.


    “That would be fine.


    Let’s go as you suggest, Daoist friend,” Han Li had no objections and the two immediately flew towards the island.


    During their journey, Han Li scanned the entire island with his Divine Sense and inadvertently frowned.


    Indeed, there was an excellent small Spirit Vein on the island, about ten miles in size.


    There weren’t many cultivators on the island, but each one had a high level of cultivation; quite contrary to Han Li’s expectation, no low-level cultivators were found which made him somewhat puzzled!


    Before long, under the Taoist’s lead, Han Li entered a newly established cave dwelling.


    The dwelling was located in an inconspicuous mountain rock but was still quite large and neat.


    As Han Li and Lord Sunreach settled in a large hall, two Daoist tunneled servants presented them with Spiritual Tea.


    After sipping his tea, Han Li engaged in a low conversation with Lord Sunreach.


    This old Daoist, one of the top three cultivators, now seemed unwilling to discuss the reason for inviting Han Li, instead slowly discussing some information about the surrounding seas and the sects occupying the Seven Spirit Islands.


    It seemed somewhat offhand.


    It appeared that, before Wei Wuya’s arrival, Lord Sunreach had no intention of revealing any news to Han Li.


    Han Li was somewhat displeased inwardly, but outwardly he pretended to be ignorant, engaging in what seemed to be casual chat with Lord Sunreach.


    However, just after the time it takes to have a meal, Wei Wuya also arrived outside the cave dwelling and then, welcomed by the Taoist, his figure appeared in the hall as well.


    Upon meeting Han Li, the usual pleasantries were exchanged.


    From the outward appearance, Wei Wuya’s skin was glowing, his complexion rosy as if he had recovered from the severe depletion of True Yuan from the battle in Devilfall Valley, looking quite vigorous.


    This made Han Li inwardly marvel.


    As far as he knew, during the last grand battle in Devilfall Valley, the great cultivator Wei Wuya had suffered a significant loss of True Yuan.


    To fully recover his Qi in such a short time suggested he had consumed no small number of panaceas.


    Wei Wuya was straightforward.


    As soon as he sat down, he asked,


    “Fellow Daoist Sunreach, have you already informed Daoist Han about the situation?”


    “Of course not.


    Matters like these are better discussed when at least two out of us three are present.


    Now that Brother Wei has arrived, perhaps Brother Wei can enlighten Fellow Daoist Han about this matter.


    This humble Daoist will simply add on as necessary,” Master Sunreach said, his expression unchanged.


    “That’s fine, let me explain it then!


    This matter cannot be delayed any longer.


    Otherwise, the consequences will not be trivial!” Wei Wuya thought for a moment before he agreed.


    “The consequences will not be trivial?” As soon as Han Li heard these words, a look of interest appeared on his face.


    It seemed this was indeed no small matter.


    “Fellow Daoist Han, let me be brief.


    This matter is actually related to those ancient devils,” Wei Wuya began, startling Han Li.


    “Weren’t those ancient devils severely wounded and fled far away?” Han Li said, startled.


    “That’s correct.


    But don’t you find the timing of the appearance of the giant vortex too coincidental?


    Almost exactly when we drove away the ancient devil on one side, this anomaly appeared on the other side in The Endless Sea.


    Moreover, we discovered some definite proof nearby the vortex.


    Fellow Daoist should know, during the last period when the ancient devil was being besieged, it slaughtered quite a few immortal cultivation families and minor sects.


    The three of us later discovered that these clans and sects were precisely those rumored to possess evil treasures or actually harbored them; three such treasures were indeed taken by the ancient devil.


    Near this giant vortex, in a hidden place, we found the remnants of one of the missing evil treasures, seemingly destroyed by a tremendous force.


    This led us to suspect that the ancient devil first tampered with something here in The Endless Sea, and was then cornered by our devil extermination team in other places, getting severely wounded and fleeing from the Heavenly South,” Wei Wuya said gravely.


    “Is there something inappropriate with this mysterious vortex that appeared?


    Otherwise, even if the ancient devil did something, the three fellow Daoists would not handle it with such gravity,” Han Li pondered for a moment and cautiously asked.


    “You’re right to ask that.


    If the vortex merely spewed spiritual energy and raised seven small islands, the three of us wouldn’t have been concerned about it.


    The key issue is, we discovered that this so-called giant vortex is actually the formation eye of a massive sealing array dating back many years, and these seven sacred islands are merely a part of this array.


    Fellow Daoist, I assume you understand the gravity now,” Master Sunreach said with a wry smile.


    “A Sealing Formation.


    What is it meant to seal, necessitating such a massive array?” Han Li finally showed a drastic change in expression, slightly horrified.


    Although he didn’t know the exact size of this array, just the vast distances between the seven islands allowed him to imagine the enormity of it.


    “That’s also what we want to know.


    But I have absolutely no clue.


    However, whatever is sealed must be related to the Ancient Devil Realm and the ancient devils.


    This matter should perhaps be explained by Fellow Daoist Sunreach.


    After all, it was Fellow Daoist Sunreach who initially went to the bottom of the vortex and saw the situation there,” Wei Wuya spoke slowly.


    “What is there for this humble Daoist to say?


    You both also saw later.


    The bottom of this giant vortex is in fact filled with unfathomably deep Boundless Demonic Qi, so deep that it’s impossible to explore clearly.


    It is only suppressed by the vast pure spiritual energy within the vortex, preventing it from bursting forth from the array.


    But if it does break out, it will surely be a great calamity for our Heavenly South, completely changing the nature’s spiritual energy of the entire area.


    I even suspect that The Endless Sea wasn’t always this terrifying and may be related to the demonic Qi beneath the sea,” the Taoist said calmly.


    “But now, Fellow Daoist Han, you’ve also seen the current situation.


    The formation eye of the sealing array has been damaged, and the spiritual energy in the vortex is gradually leaking out, a day will come when it can no longer suppress the demonic Qi below.


    Once the Demonic Qi erupts, at least half of the Heavenly South will be severely affected and will no longer be suitable for cultivators to cultivate.


    And Daoist Han’s Drifting Cloud Sect, being close to The Endless Sea, will definitely be gravely impacted,” Wei Wuya said helplessly.


    By that point, Han Li was speechless.


    “Since the three fellow Daoists have now called me over, surely you must have a method to avert this calamity?


    Otherwise, if the three of you have no solution, I am even more helpless,” Han Li slightly raised his eyebrows and spoke indifferently.


    The eruption of the Demonic Qi, of course, meant that his Drifting Cloud Sect would face great misfortune, but the Devilcharm Sect and the Righteous Dao Alliance certainly wouldn’t fare much better.


    Only the Nine Nations Union, being far away, appeared able to remain uninvolved on the surface.


    But if truly a small half of Heavenly South loses spiritual energy, the Nine Nations Union couldn’t possibly remain untroubled.


    The loss of lands suitable for cultivation would surely reignite a grand battle as various sects vie for cultivation resources.


    Thus, Han Li, at that moment, instead became calmer.


    “The three of us, upon discovering this great danger, immediately started gathering information to try to avert this catastrophe.


    Surprisingly, we indeed found records related to this sealing formation.


    It is quite unbelievable, this matter unexpectedly also involves the Great Jin’s realm of immortal cultivators,” Wei Wuya said, looking at Master Sunreach and revealing a peculiar expression.


    “Great Jin?” Han Li was genuinely stunned at this point.


    “Do fellow Daoists know where these records were found?” Just then, Master Sunreach gave a wry smile, looking somewhat helpless.


    “The meaning of the Upper Master isa€|” Han Li guessed something, also showing a surprised expression.


    “It seems Fellow Daoist Han has guessed it.


    The materials regarding this Ancient Sealing Magic Array were actually found in a hidden text of our sect which had been neglected for countless years.


    We also cleared up some of the origins of our Sublime Truth Sect.


    Our sect during the Ancient Times, remarkably, was a branch of one of the current Three Great Daoist Sects of the Great Jin’s realm of immortal cultivators-the True Extreme Sect.


    And it turns out, the reason we moved to the Heavenly South was to guard this Ancient Sealing Magic Array,” the Taoist disclosed with a resigned bewildered look.
