?Chapter 882: Volume 6 Spiritual Treasure Chapter 879 Calamity Without Cause Chapter 882: Volume 6 Spiritual Treasure Chapter 879 Calamity Without Cause Han Li had left the Drifting Cloud Sect for over half a year now.


    After departing from Tian Luo that day, he headed straight for the Heaventide Prairies.


    Under his cautious disguise of both cultivation and identity, things started off quite smoothly.


    He even disguised himself as a free Immortal Master, diving into several Soaring Tribes’ settlements and exchanging cultivation insights with some of their cultivators, all without incident.


    However, as he crossed the vast majority of the prairie and reached the southern part of it, trouble found him unexpectedly.


    In a remote wildland far from any Soaring Tribe settlement, when he routinely released all his Gold Devouring Bugs to cultivate the strongest batch, he coincidentally encountered a mid Nascent Soul Stage elder from the Soaring Tribes who was pursuing an unknown demonic bird, using a mature Gold Devouring Bug.


    Since the Rainbow Skirt Grass made maturation very convenient on the coral he carried, he had continued this process without any issues for a long time; Han Li had carelessly not set up any high-grade concealment Arrays.


    As a result, when the elder saw the dense swarm of thousands of Gold Devouring Bugs above Han Li’s head, he was almost scared into fainting.


    Ignoring the demonic bird, he immediately demanded that Han Li follow him to meet some Holy Saintess.


    In such a situation, Han Li naturally refused and was immediately filled with a killing intent.


    He promptly unleashed several Great Divine Powers and even utilized his second Nascent Soul, incinerating the elder’s physical body to ash.


    However, this is where frustrating things happened for Han Li.


    The elder’s primary cultivation technique was extremely bizarre, capable of splitting his Nascent Soul into seven, each proficient in wooden escape techniques.


    In a momentary lapse, one of them managed to escape.

    By then, Han Li knew he had definitely stirred up a hornet’s nest.


    Without a moment’s hesitation, he fled under the cover of night, rushing south.


    But somehow, using some method of communication among the Soaring Tribe’s cultivators, numerous high-grade Nascent Soul Immortal Masters began to block and chase him just days after his escape.


    Eventually, even one of the four Great Immortal Masters of the Soaring Tribes showed up.


    After several fierce battles, although Han Li had slain several high-grade Immortal Masters, he was heavily injured by the distracted attacks from the Great Immortal Master.


    If not for his reliance on the Myriad Year Spirit Milk and successive uses of the Bloodshadow Evasion, his life would have likely ended there.


    Though he escaped with his life and temporarily shook off his pursuers through some tricks, Han Li realized the real trouble had just started.


    Whether due to the substantial drain from the several fierce battles or not, the Evil Qi, which should not have acted up for a long while, began to backlash prematurely.


    Fortunately, with strong Divine Sense and timely perception, he forcibly suppressed it using a secret technique.


    This made matters even worse.


    With no other choice, he had to seek a remedy from the Monarch Great Development.


    Living up to his reputation as an eccentric who had lived for ten thousand years, Monarch Great Development immediately taught him the Five Ghosts Locking God Great Art.


    This method could temporarily seal the Evil Qi but the consequences of its use were extremely severe.


    If used, most of his cultivation would likely be completely sealed within his body until he found a way to remove the Evil Qi.


    Otherwise, if he carelessly used his powers, both the Evil Qi and the Five Ghosts might backlash together.


    That would truly be fraught with life-and-death peril!


    Fully aware of its dangers, Han Li hesitated to use this technique.


    However, as he was escaping his pursuers and flying to this location, the Evil Qi fiercely backlash again, far more violently and aggressively than before, to the extent that his cultivation level couldn’t suppress it anymore!


    In desperation, Han Li was forced to hurriedly land in the midst of these shrubs.


    Without even time to set up a protective Array, he resorted to using the Five Ghosts Locking God Great Art as a dying man clutching at straws.


    By the time the group from the Heron Branch arrived, Han Li was already in the final stages of executing the great technique.


    When that young man named Tu Meng pushed apart the shrubs, Han Li’s face was transiently taking on the form of one of the Five Ghosts, merely in the process of ending the technique.


    The fearsome and terrifying demonic face naturally frightened the young man quite a bit.


    He probably still thinks that face is Han Li’s true appearance.


    Thinking of this, Han Li could not help but let out a bitter laugh.


    “Although the Evil Qi has been temporarily controlled, my cultivation is sealed to such an extent that the situation is still not much better.


    Now it’s fine mixing into this group going to the Heaventide Sanctuary for tribute, so there should be no problem for the time being,” Han Li muttered to himself.


    “Hehe!


    Although your cultivation is sealed, and you cannot control your flying swords and ancient treasures as you wish, you still have the Gold Devouring Bugs and your second Nascent Soul available.


    These two things are unaffected and are more than enough to handle ordinary cultivators.


    Before leaving the Drifting Cloud Sect, had you not left the newly crafted Nascent Soul puppets with your Senior Martial Brother Lu and given most of the Core Formation ones to your concubine, your situation would have been better now.


    Mechanical puppets are best suited for your current situation to protect yourself,” Monarch Great Development said with a cold laugh.


    “I left Tian Luo this time, not knowing when I can return.


    Naturally, I had to prepare some contingencies for the sect and Wan’er.


    Even if Senior Martial Brother Cheng were to pass away soon, with the help of the Nascent Soul puppet, Brother Lu should be able to handle some matters independently.


    Moreover, with the help of Mu Peiling’s huge tortoise puppet beasts, it’s even more secure.


    Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to travel to Great Jin with peace of mind,” Han Li said indifferently.


    “If you think so, then don’t complain about any dangers,” Monarch Great Development said somewhat dismissively.


    Han Li fell silent, but after a while, his expression changed as he asked again:


    “Once the Five Ghosts Locking God Great Art is used, can’t it be removed temporarily?


    The second Nascent Soul and the Gold Devouring Bugs can certainly handle Core Formation opponents without issue, but facing a Nascent Soul opponent could be dangerous.


    And now, it’s unknown how long it will take to find a way to dispel the Evil Qi.”


    “Remove it temporarily?


    That definitely wouldn’t work for others.


    But given the countless heavenly and earthly treasures you possess, it might be feasible.


    However, the cost won’t be light,” Monarch Great Development seemed to pause for a moment before continuing slowly.


    “What cost?


    As long as it doesn’t affect future cultivation, I can accept it.


    It’s better than losing my life at a critical moment,” Han Li said without hesitation.


    “Since you say so, then it’s simple.


    Each unsealing will require two drops of Myriad Year Spirit Milk from your possession.


    I will also pass on another secret technique to divert the Five Ghosts and temporarily neutralize the Evil Qi in your body.


    Based on the actual situation, this should give you about an hour of mana recovery time.


    Once the time is up, and the Five Ghosts have devoured the Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Milk, they will reseal your mana.


    And each time you unseal, the Evil Qi will penetrate deeper into your mind.


    After a certain number of times, the backfire from the Evil Qi will become so fierce that even the Five Ghosts won’t be able to control it,” Monarch Great Development openly explained the benefits and drawbacks.


    “The Myriad Year Spirit Milk is rare, but it’s nothing compared to preserving life.


    The increased backlash from the Evil Qi is not good news.


    Could it be that dispelling the Evil Qi later will be even more troublesome?” Han Li pondered for a moment before asking in a gloomy voice.


    “Dispelling the Evil Qi later will definitely be troublesome, that’s for sure.


    Given your situation, I estimate you could unseal it five or six times at most before the Five Ghosts lose control.


    Weigh the pros and cons for yourself.”


    “What’s there to think about?


    When it comes down to life and death, I naturally won’t care about all that.


    Elder, please teach me this method first,” Han Li said clearly, making a decisive statement.


    “I will only say this Incantation once, so listen carefully!” Monarch Great Development did not say much else, and directly transmitted the incantations to Han Li.


    Han Li closed his eyes tightly, concentrating and carefully remembering.


    “Alright, it seems this cultivation technique isn’t difficult; I should be able to comprehend it in a few days,” Han Li opened his eyes and said calmly.


    “Of course.


    It’s just a simple sealing removal technique, how could it be complicated!


    Anyway, Han kid, are you really planning to follow this group to the Heaventide Sanctuary?


    You should know that an event like this will definitely attract many cultivators from the Soaring Tribes,” Monarch Great Development asked curiously about this matter.


    “Elder must have heard the proverb that the most dangerous place is often the safest, right?


    If I wanted to hide, I could just find some place in the wild to stay undercover, confident that no one would find me for a while.


    But now, with Evil Qi entangled, I urgently need to reach Great Jin.


    And those pursuers will probably be looking for me alone.


    Walking around alone outside would be unwise; it’s better to blend into the vicinity of their Holy Temple.


    There, with many cultivators around, those pursuers won’t be able to search one by one, and having lived these past few months on the prairies, I’m confident I can disguise myself as a low-grade Immortal Master and not reveal any flaws.


    Everything else will have to be adapted to as it comes.


    After all, the direction of the Holy Temple just happens to be on the way to Great Jin,” Han Li explained casually.


    “It seems you’ve made up your mind.


    Then I won’t interfere anymore,” Monarch Great Development laughed hehe, then stopped speaking.


    Hearing this, Han Li sighed, but then he seemed to remember something.


    “Silvermoon, how are you doing?


    You were quite injured in that battle a few days ago.”


    “Thank you, Master, for your concern.


    As an Artifact Spirit, I don’t have too many issues.


    But the demon fox body has been greatly damaged, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to help much for a while,” Silvermoon’s weak voice came through.


    “That’s okay.


    I will be cautious during this time and won’t need you to take action.


    You just focus on recovering,” Han Li said soothingly, feeling relieved.


    “Yes, Master!” Silvermoon seemed truly weak, managing to respond before also falling silent.


    Han Li frowned, a bitter smile in his heart.


    He sat quietly in the carriage for a while, then suddenly swept a hand over his storage pouch, conjuring a half-foot-large jade box with several glowing white Daoist paper talisms attached, apparently sealing something inside.


    Han Li gently caressed the Daoist paper talisms on the jade box, his expression shifting uncertainly.
