?Chapter 900: Volume 6, Heavenly Skill Spiritual Treasure, Chapter 897: Surprising Turn Chapter 900: Volume 6, Heavenly Skill Spiritual Treasure, Chapter 897: Surprising Turn Han Li narrowed his eyes, and the first level of the Treasure Commanding Decree’s cultivation technique circulated.


    He lifted the small cauldron above his head.


    With a dragon’s cry, the lid of the cauldron transformed into a blue glow and shot into the sky.


    Then, thousands of rainbow lights surged out from within the cauldron.


    The green light emitted by the Endless Sky Saintess, like rivers returning to the sea, became a beam of green mist and vanished into the cauldron in a flash.


    The silver-robed woman was greatly shocked, and Han Li was also taken aback.


    At that moment, the giant cauldron under the feet of the Endless Sky Saintess also emitted a strange humming sound.


    Then, amidst the green light, it suddenly transformed into a green rainbow and shot downward.


    The silver-robed woman’s face turned as pale as a flower, and she hurriedly tried to recall the giant cauldron with both hands.


    But the incantations failed, and the green light completely ignored them, shooting straight into the small cauldron below, disappearing without a trace.


    The heart of the Endless Sky Saintess was filled with shock and anger, but things were far from over.


    The Heavenvoid Cauldron in Han Li’s hand suddenly flew out on its own.


    It spun around before aligning its mouth toward a nearby mist, hinting at the flickering of lights within.


    A frightened beastly roar came from the mist, and a black shadow shot out from the fog, attempting to escape into the high sky.

    It was the Heaventide Holy Beast with the head of a bull and body of a python.


    But a brilliant blue mist sprayed out from the cauldron at an incredible speed, catching up with the Heaventide Beast instantaneously and enveloping it completely.


    The Heaventide Beast roared desperately and struggled, but the blue mist seemed to be its bane.


    It had no effect whatsoever.


    Instead, after circling, the size of the beast within the mist rapidly shrunk and was directly pulled into the cauldron.


    The lid of the cauldron spiraled down from the sky, covering the mouth of the cauldron again, locking the Heaventide Beast inside.


    These changes occurred extremely quickly, all in the blink of an eye.


    The silver-robed woman’s complexion turned deathly pale in an instant.


    She could hardly accept that, despite having the upper hand just a moment ago, she had fallen into an abyss in the blink of an eye.


    Not only had her opponent broken out of the encirclement, but both the sacred cauldron and the sacred beast’s derivative form had simultaneously been taken away.


    However, this woman was no ordinary person.


    With a shift of cold light in her eyes, her gaze immediately fell on the Heavenvoid Cauldron in Han Li’s hand.


    She was very clear that the cause of all these upheavals lay in the object that was almost identical to the Sacred Cauldron.


    Judging from how the Sacred Cauldron had lost control, this cauldron had a deep connection with it, or else such a shocking turn of events would not have occurred.


    She must seize the cauldron!


    In an instant, the woman made up her mind!


    Naturally, Han Li was overjoyed, but seeing the cold light flashing in the woman’s eyes, how could he not know what she was planning?


    He laughed out loud, and with a light flap of his silver wings, he transformed into a silver arc, appearing dozens of yards away.


    Without hesitation, he called upon his Giant Sword, then his ten fingers fluttered like the phantom of a shadow, forming a series of bizarre hand seals.


    Green light flickered around him, and an astonishing surge of Spiritual Energy burst forth from his body.


    Opening his mouth, he spat out several clots of blood essence which scattered in the wind, turning into strands of blood mist.


    The spiritual light instantly changed to a queer reddish-green color.


    At the same time, his exposed hands and face began to turn abnormally red, swiftly becoming as fresh as blood, frighteningly so!


    And within the blood mist, Han Li’s figure started to blur as if it were insubstantial.


    “Not good!” As soon as she saw Han Li’s action, the silver-robed woman seemed to recall something, shouted in alarm, and raised both hands.


    A surge of silver light shot out, turning into countless silver threads that enveloped Han Li like a blanket.


    In an area spanning dozens of yards around, the silver light shone dazzlingly, a sight to behold.


    But as soon as Han Li had his Giant Sword returned to him, his figure shook a few times within the blood mist, a Bloodshadow Evasion shot out, and he suddenly vanished into thin air.


    The next instant, as if there was a flicker of blood red on the horizon, Han Li’s trace was gone completely.


    The Endless Sky Saintess felt her heart sink, and hurriedly released her Divine Sense, but just after locating the target a hundred miles away, Han Li disappeared beyond the reach of her Divine Sense with another Bloodshadow Evasion.


    Her face turned ashen, and she hovered motionlessly in mid-air.


    …


    At the same time, thousands of miles away, a handsome young man was surrounded by the buzzing of nine green flying wheels.


    Looking down at the boundless grassland below, a strange expression crossed his face.


    “Wood Evasion Technique?


    To be injured to such an extent and still able to escape using the power of plants and trees.


    That evil treasure also wields considerable power.


    The backlash from the desperate fight just now was indeed troublesome.


    However, now it’s even lost the power to assimilate.


    A mere Nascent Soul, so grievously wounded, should have dissipated by now.


    Yet, since just now, there’s been this unsettling feeling.


    Could something have happened to the others?” The young man’s eyes flickered a few times as he murmured to himself.


    After looking up in the opposite direction, he hesitated for a moment before the nine wheels merged into one, forming a green rainbow, and he darted back the way he had come.


    In a patch of inconspicuous low shrubs, a shiny, jet-black banner was planted in the ground.


    The banner flickered with a dark light, and a hole about half a foot in diameter was faintly visible.


    Within it lay a Nascent Soul the size of an inch, its black and green body unconscious and still, shrouded in rolling black mists.


    It quietly absorbed the Pure Demonic Qi hidden within the banner, healing itself.


    …


    In another direction, the purple-haired beauty spent some effort and trapped several thousand Gold Devouring Bugs with an ancient jade treasure.


    After fending off the startling lightning bead, she easily pierced the body of the young man opposite her with a single sword thrust.


    However, the target’s body flashed brightly, and suddenly transformed into a charming woman.


    With white light flickering, her body turned into specks of light and vanished without a trace.


    The beauty couldn’t help but stand there in a daze.


    …


    Several hours later, the handsome young man, the purple-haired beauty, and the Endless Sky Saintess gathered together again.


    After sharing their respective experiences, they all looked at each other in dismay.


    “So, you are saying that not only did we fail to obtain the breeding method for the Gold Devouring Bugs from our opponents, but we also lost the Sacred Cauldron and the sect protecting beast,” the young man said with furrowed brows, his voice heavy and low.


    “The Sacred Cauldron is not that critical; we still have a spare in our clan.


    We can still call upon the sacred sect protecting beast.


    But its disciple was taken away by that person.


    This could potentially provoke the wrath of the upper realm’s sacred sect protecting beasts.


    We must retrieve it at all costs,” the purple-haired beauty said, her face equally troubled.


    “This time, I was too careless.


    I didn’t expect that person to have a way to suppress the Sacred Cauldron, leading to this outcome.


    I will go to Great Jin myself and rescue the sacred sect protecting beast’s disciple.


    Also, that person’s small cauldron is so peculiar; it could control our Sacred Cauldron.


    This is no trivial matter.


    I suspect it could be the very Spiritual Treasure that the Sacred Cauldron was modeled after.


    Otherwise, I can’t explain it,” the silver-robed woman said calmly.


    “Spiritual Treasure!


    That seems unlikely.


    Such treasures should not appear in this realm at all.


    They should have all been taken to the upper realm by ancient experts.


    The Sacred Cauldron was also created by an Immortal Master of prodigious talent within our Tuotu tribe, who used secret techniques to communicate with the sacred sect protecting beast to obtain the imitation method.


    How could the very Spiritual Treasure that served as the original template end up left behind in the human world,” the purple-haired beauty expressed her disbelief.


    “That’s not necessarily true!


    If ancient devilish techniques can appear in the human world, it’s not impossible for a few Spiritual Treasures to be left behind here and there,” the handsome young man countered with a shake of his head.


    Upon hearing the words “ancient devilish techniques,” both the purple-haired beauty and the Endless Sky Saintess’s expressions changed.


    “Hmph!


    Everyone says ancient devilish techniques are terrifying.


    It’s just a pity that none of us had the chance to test our strength against them.


    However, their Escape Technique is truly wondrous; they didn’t even show themselves to us but crossed the grasslands with ease and made their way to Great Jin,” the purple-haired beauty said somewhat grudgingly.


    “That’s because they were already seriously injured.


    And as soon as they set foot on the grasslands, we happened to come across them.


    Our relentless pursuit gave them no time to stop and heal.


    Otherwise, who knows what trouble they would have caused on the grasslands,” the young man sighed with a wry smile.


    “Regardless of whether that person’s treasure truly is a Spiritual Treasure, they killed so many of our Immortal Masters and took away the sacred sect protecting beast.


    We absolutely cannot let this go.


    As the Endless Sky Saintess, and since the cauldron was lost on my watch, I must personally retrieve it.


    Otherwise, when we call upon the sacred sect protecting beast next time, we will have no answer to its questioning,” the silver-robed woman said with a grim face.


    Hearing this, the young man and the beauty exchanged a glance, as if to share their opinions.


    “Since the Endless Sky Saintess is so determined about this matter, it wouldn’t hurt to make a trip to Great Jin.


    However, many sects in Great Jin have prejudices against our Tuotu tribe’s Immortal Masters.


    It would be best for the Endless Sky Saintess not to reveal her identity, as that person’s Divine Skills could mean they have significant power in Great Jin.


    You can start by visiting the Yin Sifting Sect to see if the person really is a Yin Sifting Sect elder.


    Once you have confirmed their identity, you can return to the grasslands and inform us.


    We are all willing to lend you our strength,” the young man nodded before making this suggestion.


    “I understand.


    That person’s divine skills are not inferior to mine.


    I will not act rashly!” the silver-robed woman said with a solemn look on her face.


    Thus, the three of them immediately turned back.


    The Endless Sky Saintess planned to settle some affairs before immediately setting off to Great Jin to look for Han Li.


    …


    In Great Jin’s Liaozhou, among the one hundred and eight provinces, it’s large enough to rank within the top ten.


    Unfortunately, most of its territory is a cold region, covered with snow all year round, hence the sparse population.


    It’s only middle to lower tier in terms of wealth among all the provinces and prefectures.


    Shun River within Liaozhou is the second-largest river of the province and is one of the few rivers that do not freeze during the flood season.


    Therefore, every year at this time, whether merchants selling goods or travelers with urgent matters would travel down the river by boat.


    This is much more convenient than riding horses or taking carriages.


    And every certain stretch along the river, official ships from Great Jin would patrol along the river.


    However, even so, with so many passenger ships and the river being so long, naturally, there are many desperadoes who risk being beheaded and having their families exterminated to daringly rob the passing ships.


    Therefore, larger ships would inevitably hire dexterous bodyguards skilled in martial arts to protect the ship.


    Wang Tieqiang was one such ordinary bodyguard protecting ships.


    As his name indicated, he naturally had some skills with the spear.


    But all these were secondary; most importantly, his experience as a bodyguard was extremely rich.


    Having started in this profession since his youth, he had been at it for over twenty years.


    He transformed from a vigorous young man into a seasoned veteran whose expressions did not betray his emotions.


    Now, he was standing steadfastly at the bow of a large ship, with one hand resting on the wooden railing, gazing at the nearby passing ships with an expressionless face.


    This trip was just another very ordinary escort for him.


    The only thing slightly special was that, according to rumors, the ship’s owner was a family member of an official, seemingly with some significant background.


    Generally, ships with such a semi-official nature were not easily provoked by river bandits; it was considered a relatively relaxed escort mission.


    And the trip had proceeded as expected; the ship had sailed through most of the journey smoothly, without any incident.


    Right now, he was considering that the ship’s owner was quite generous this time.


    The silver given looked sufficient to buy several good fabrics for his wife and children back home to make some nice clothes.


    Thinking of this, Wang Tieqiang couldn’t help but picture his seven- or eight-year-old child’s face in his mind, and a slight smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    But just at that moment, suddenly from one side of the ship came a woman’s surprised cry.


    “Come quick and look, there’s a huge block of ice here, and insidea€| there seems to be a person inside.”
