?Chapter 878: Volume 6 Spiritual Treasures Chapter 875 Repairing the Banner Chapter 878: Volume 6 Spiritual Treasures Chapter 875 Repairing the Banner A low hum came from his mouth as the light shield around Han Li suddenly expanded significantly.
Then, a white light shot out from his sleeve and circled before landing in front of him.
It was the snow-white little fox, transformed from Silvermoon.
“We’re short on time, let’s split up and search for that item,” Han Li quickly said, a pale golden lightning ball appearing in his palm amidst the rumbling of thunder, without hesitation, he threw it behind him.
With a “boom”, the lightning ball transformed into a net of electricity that attached itself to the white fox’s body.
“Remember!
This divine lightning can only last for a short while, once it starts to weaken, return to the ground immediately.
I’ll return earlier,” Han Li solemnly said.
“Yes, Master.
But what exactly does the Demonic Marrow Drill look like?
Little sneak doesn’t recognize it,” a pleasant young woman’s voice emerged from the white fox, smooth and melodious.
“The Demonic Marrow Drill is pitch black like ink, resembling a crystal stone.
The Demonic Qi contained within is astonishingly noticeable,” Monarch Great Development preemptively replied before Han Li could speak.
“If that’s the case, then it should be easy.

Little sneak will go ahead,” the white fox nodded, its body flashed with silver light, and it dived into the stone platform, disappearing without a trace.
Han Li wasn’t idle either, with a wave of the Jade Ruyi in his hand, another faint layer of yellow light appeared on the light shield.
Together with the shield, he too submerged into the platform silently.
For a time, the vast platform was devoid of any people.
Time slowly passed, and the surroundings were eerily silent.
But the platform had completely become a realm of Demonic Qi, black as pitch, invisible to the eye, just like the netherworld.
It was unclear how much time had passed when suddenly, the crash of thunder sounded, followed by a flash of golden light, and Han Li appeared on the platform, surrounded by the light shield.
He looked around and not seeing Silvermoon, his face momentarily froze with worry.
But he suddenly raised a clenched fist and opened his fingers.
In his palm lay a small, black, and transparent crystal stone no bigger than a thumb, exquisitely delicate.
“Indeed, just as I expected, a Demonic Marrow Drill has really formed here.
Your fortune is truly remarkable.
This is something that ancient Devil Dao cultivators dreamed of having, a treasure that was serendipitous even in those times,” chuckled Monarch Great Development.
“Is that so?
This item is truly rare,” Han Li held up the crystal drill before his eyes, squinting slightly.
He now had the opportunity to observe the item.
The crystal drill emitted not even a flicker of light; instead, its dark hue gave off a sinister feeling as if it could suck a person’s soul into it.
Han Li felt a deep chill in his heart and hurriedly averted his gaze.
Just then, as a silver light flickered on the stone platform below, the white fox, with a trace of faint golden light, suddenly shot out from the platform and flew into Han Li’s light shield.
“If you hadn’t come back, I was about to personally call you!
I thought you’d return before me.
Did you find anything?” Han Li asked as the little fox motioned; suddenly, a patch of bluish mist lifted the little fox and delivered it directly before Han Li.
The white fox said nothing but spat out three dark, glistening objects, it was unclear whether they were Demonic Marrow Drills or something else.
“Well done,” Han Li was a bit surprised, then his face revealed pleasure.
The white fox then smiled anthropomorphically and suddently dived into the sleeve of his robe, disappearing from sight.
Han Li placed the three crystal drills alongside his own, took out a jade box from his storage pouch, and arranged the four Demonic Marrow Drills side by side.
“It’s time we left,” Han Li said indifferently.
Then the electric arcs outside the light shield shook, followed by a loud rumbling sound, as Han Li watched the shield slowly ascend into the sky.
While his descent had been slow, his ascent wasn’t much faster.
After flying upwards for a quarter of an hour, Han Li finally saw the white misty light screen again, without needing to use any of the demon-repelling treasures provided by Wei Wuya and others.
In a blink, Han Li passed through the light screen and finally escaped the realm of Demonic Qi.
Turning to look at the light screen behind him, Han Li collected the Devilbane Lightning, and the golden arc completely dissipated.
But he didn’t fly upward immediately; instead, he took his time to look at the light screen, reached into his storage pouch, and drew out an object.
It was a damaged green flag.
“Eh!
Isn’t this the Yin Sifting Banner from that day?” Silvermoon exclaimed in surprise.
“Though the devilish spirits attached to this banner were completely annihilated, it itself is not severely damaged and remains a rare treasure among Devil Dao spiritual treasures.
I once tried, and it can absorb ghostly Qi and repair itself.
The Demonic Qi flags given earlier by Old Devil Cloud Dew reminded me.
Demonic Qi and ghostly Qi are both extremely yin in nature and are somewhat interchangeable.
There’s so much pure Demonic Qi here, it’s perfect for trying to repair this banner.
Even if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter,” Han Li said calmly, then a burst of green light emitted from his hand suddenly enveloped the small flag, which then transformed into a streak of green light entering the dense Demonic Qi below.
The spiritual light wrapping the small flag was instantly devoured by the Demonic Qi, revealing the true form of the damaged Yin Sifting Banner surrounded by swirling Demonic Qi.
Seeing this, Han Li performed hand seals and pointed at the distant green flag.
The originally lifeless Yin Sifting Banner suddenly burst forth with green light, and under Han Li’s incitations, the banner swelled in size, instantly transforming into a giant green flag about a yard long, though its surface was ragged and quite pitiful in appearance.
These were all destroyed by the formidable power of the Great Development Sword Array during that battle.
Han Li had searched the Divine Sense of the slain Yin Sifting Sect elder and naturally knew how to activate this banner.
Such treasures passed down through generations in the Yin Sifting Sect naturally didn’t require blood recognition, so even though this banner was a Daoist paper talisman, it was the kind that couldn’t be bound to a master.
Essentially, whoever got their hands on it could refine it and use it.
At this moment, under Han Li’s spell incantation, a large hole several feet in diameter appeared on the banner’s surface, from which a cold wind gusted.
Suddenly, the dense Demonic Qi that had already packed the surroundings instantly found an outlet and surged wildly into the emerging void, unceasingly.
Han Li was overjoyed when he saw this scene; the banner really could absorb Demonic Qi.
After the banner absorbed a large amount of Demonic Qi, the fabric mended itself at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Before long, the entire banner looked as good as new, although it had changed from its original jade green to a peculiar half-green, half-black color.
Han Li, with a flash in his eyes, watched the banner devouring the surrounding Demonic Qi, slightly surprised.
He had thought that once it was repaired, the banner would stop absorbing.
But unexpectedly, the Yin Sifting Banner seemed like a bottomless pit, not stopping for a moment.
However, he had also noticed that the green on the banner was gradually thinning while the black gleam was becoming dazzlingly bright.
Seeing this, a trace of hesitation appeared on Han Li’s face, but he remained in place, merely watching from a distance without moving.
After an unknown amount of time and after swallowing countless amounts of Demonic Qi, the Yin Sifting Banner finally emitted a rumbling sound, the hole on its surface suddenly vanished, and it returned to stillness.
At this time, the banner was shiny black all over, the glaring black gleam as if substantial.
Without hesitation, Han Li pointed at the banner, and in an instant, it shrank rapidly amid the black light, shooting out from the Demonic Qi and landing in Han Li’s palm.
After carefully examining the palm-sized item in his hand, Han Li nodded in satisfaction and stored it away.
He would find a chance later to test its power.
As he had been delayed for a long time, Han Li dared not procrastinate any further.
He promptly spat out dozens of flying swords, breaking through the Spiritual Energy above him, and soared into the sky.
As Han Li transformed into a cyan rainbow and shot out from the vortex, Wei Wuya and the others still appeared calm and collected, but occasional glimpses of anxiety could be seen in their eyes.
They feared that Han Li might encounter an accident and that the Array Plate wasn’t properly arranged.
Seeing the cyan rainbow emerge, the three of them couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that the task was likely successful.
“Fellow Daoist Han, how did it go?
Was the trip smooth?” Master Sunreach asked with a smile.
“Without fail!
The Array has been successfully arranged,” Han Li replied with a slight smile.
“Good.
Let Wei give it a try,” said Wei Wuya, brushing a hand over his storage pouch, and another Array Plate, roughly the same as the previous one, appeared in his palm.
Wei Wuya held the Array Plate in one hand and twiddled incantations in the other, a few unintelligible spell incantations escaping his mouth.
The Array Plate in his hand flashed with white Spiritual Light non-stop, then emitted strands of five-colored radiant light, extremely striking.
“Good, the Array has indeed been properly set up.
We can immediately send out invitations to other cultivators to repair this Array.
After setting up this Array Plate, at the very least, we no longer have to worry about the Demonic Qi suddenly erupting.
Fellow Daoist Han, this feat is no small merit,” said Wei Wuya with a laugh, apparently in a very good mood.
“Since the matters here are settled, I shall take my leave and return.
I still have some important matters to handle.
These treasures, I’ll return to the three of you,” said Han Li as he tossed the four treasures for repelling devils to them, speaking calmly.
Hearing Han Li’s words, Wei Wuya and the others couldn’t help but exchange glances.
“Fellow Daoist Han, there’s no need to rush.
How about staying with us at the Seven Spirit Islands for a couple more days before you leave?” Master Sunreach persuasively said.
“Thank you for your kind offer, Brother Sunreach.
But I indeed have urgent matters to attend to and cannot delay any longer,” said Han Li, shaking his head with a hint of apology on his face.
“Since Fellow Daoist Han truly has matters to handle, we will not keep you any longer.
Have a safe journey!” said Wei Wuya, cupping his fist.
“I shall take my leave then!”
Han Li calmly bowed to the three and without further ado, his body exuded a bright cyan light, transforming into a startling and piercing cyan rainbow that shot through the sky and vanished.

Half a month later, upon returning to the Drifting Cloud Sect, Han Li informed Senior Martial Brother Cheng about a spiritual island being allotted to the Drifting Cloud Sect, and then prepared to enter seclusion once more.
This time, Han Li wasn’t to cultivate mana but to completely refine his second Nascent Soul.
After all, with the second Nascent Soul, his divine abilities would greatly increase, almost as if he had gained an extra life.
The Wood Spirit Nascent Soul, designated to be the second Nascent Soul, had already reached the final stages of assimilation.
Just a few more steps were needed to achieve great success.
For this, after checking on Nangong Wan’s condition, Han Li immediately entered a secret chamber to begin years of seclusion for cultivation.
Meanwhile, after several major events, the Heavenly South Region entered a stable period, with each sect earnestly cultivating their disciples, entering a phase of accumulating strength and sharpening their edges.
