?Chapter 978: Volume 6 Spiritual Treasures Chapter 975 Half a Year Chapter 978: Volume 6 Spiritual Treasures Chapter 975 Half a Year “With Seventh Uncle’s assistance, along with our third brother, having two great cultivators to aid us in the treasure hunt below, combined with the family cultivators gathered here and the greatly exerted effort to recruit some external elders, we should be able to contend with the force of the ten great righteous and demonic sects.


    This trip to the Southern Border to seek the treasure seems very promising,” the square-faced cultivator said, unable to contain his joy.


    “I won’t meddle in your actions, I am only responsible for contributing my strength.


    Whether the Ye Clan can escape the control of both righteous and demonic paths depends on this.


    I won’t hold you back,” the eccentric slowly said.


    Hearing such words from the only senior remaining in the clan, both the square-faced cultivator and the elderly woman were overjoyed and naturally spoke with humility.


    In the end, these elders from the first wealthiest family in Great Jin secretly plotted in the hall for half a day before they dispersed one after another.


    In a secret chamber within an estate in the imperial city, a pitch-black demonic Qi filled the entire room, where a gigantic, two-headed demon with four flashing eyes, black and purple, looked extremely fierce and terrifying.


    An unknown amount of time passed when suddenly, the demon let out a low shout, and the demonic Qi surged before being entirely absorbed into the demon’s body like thousands of streams returning to the ocean.


    Simultaneously, with both of its four hands forming seals, its body exploded with a loud noise, transforming into an ordinary-looking young man in dark light, somewhat resembling Han Li.


    It was indeed the ancient devilish techniques cultivator lurking within the Ye Clan.


    “Not bad, the injury has recovered by eighty percent.


    Now, as long as I don’t encounter those old fellows, no one in Great Jin can handle me.


    The Ye Family guys should act soon.

    With my previously demonstrated familiarity with ancient times, these guys will surely bring me along.


    Once there, hehe…” the demon muttered to himself, a cold smile flickering across his face.


    While the ancient devilish techniques cultivator was finishing his healing, somewhere outside Jinjing City within a secret cave dwelling of the Yin Sifting Sect, Ge Tianhao was discussing something with the Heaventide Saintess.


    “I’ve received news that Fu Cheng from the Nine Nether Sect has appeared in the Southern Border.


    That Han boy from that day participated in an underground trade meeting with him; we almost didn’t know about it if not for some intel.


    His appearance there means that the Han boy might also be nearby.


    Our sect’s Great Elder has some matters to deal with in the Southern Border and has already headed there.


    If we happen to find this person, he will personally take care of him.


    Daoist Lin, are you interested in joining us to check it out?”


    “Fu Cheng appearing there doesn’t necessarily mean that the Han fellow will be in the Southern Border.


    However, I have received news that the prairies are already led by Great Immortal Master Xu, who has dispatched a team of palace-protecting cultivators into Great Jin.


    They will soon meet me in Jinjing, so I need to stay here for a while.


    After meeting with them, if there’s still no concrete news about that person, I will bring people to the Southern Border myself,” Lin Yinping shook her head.


    “Daoist Xu is also coming?


    What a fortunate event.


    The Great Elder will definitely be thrilled to know this.


    Then I’ll also stay and wait with Daoist Lin.


    After all, Great Elder’s initial instruction was to always accompany Daoist Lin,” Ge Tianhao was first shocked, then said joyfully.


    Lin Yinping chuckled and nodded lightly.


    “By the way, wasn’t that Han fellow also seen along the coast, becoming a Guest Elder for three small sects?


    Have these sects been monitoring him secretly, and hasn’t there been any news yet?” Lin Yinping frowned, remembering this and asked.


    “Nothing.


    This person is really too cunning.


    Aside from standing up for these three sects once at the beginning, he hasn’t shown himself ever since.


    Also, we have already investigated his relationship with the Heavenly Talisman Sect, and they are merely casual acquaintances.


    I reckon even if we annihilate these three families, the other side wouldn’t even blink,” Ge Tianhao said helplessly.


    “That’s also true.


    This person is a cultivator from Tian Nan; why would he truly care about these sects’ life and death?


    However, when I set off for Great Jin, I had already sent people to infiltrate Tian Nan to figure out this person’s real background.


    Such a long time has passed, there should be some news.


    When Immortal Master Xu arrives, we might as well clarify it.


    That way, when we face this person next time, we’ll also have a clear idea,” Lin Yinping said with a raised eyebrow coldly.


    “Oh, if we really have this person’s details, understanding his cultivation methods will naturally make it much easier to deal with him.


    It’s just that I don’t know the exact time Immortal Master Xu and the others will arrive,” Ge Tianhao’s spirits lifted.


    “Calculate, at most wait two to three months.


    If Immortal Master Xu can cooperate with our sect’s Great Elder this time, I don’t believe that person will still be able to escape,” the Heaventide Saintess said resentfully, thinking of the sacred sect protecting beast being confined.


    Hearing the woman speaking like this, Ge Tianhao mused inwardly.


    Although this woman repeatedly said it was because that person had killed many Heaventide cultivators and she must find and kill him, if it was really just about avenging those killings, how could a prairie saintess make such a hasty decision to relentlessly pursue him, disregarding major consequences.


    After all, the dead are already gone.


    Continuing to provoke such a terrifying existence is truly unwise.


    There must be some unknown reason, prompting her to stay in Great Jin for many years, even not hesitating to call for reinforcements from Heaventide Prairies, determined to annihilate the other party.


    It seems he must find a way to uncover the secrets behind it.


    Ge Tianhao appeared calm on the surface, but he firmly resolved himself internally.


    Lin Yinping was also not as calm as she appeared on the surface.


    As the time of the sacred sect protecting beast’s clone being confined grew longer, she really didn’t know how long she could keep this a secret.


    Over the years, she didn’t even dare to contact the upper realm once.


    Fortunately, the clone of the Heaventide Holy Beast was only confined, not destroyed.


    The main body seemed unaware of the situation so far, but she definitely couldn’t delay any longer.


    She needed to rescue the holy beast’s clone soon.


    However, during the operation, she couldn’t let the Heaventide cultivators suffer too much loss, it seemed they had to try to make use of the Yin Sifting Sect cultivators.


    This woman also made up her mind.


    In a place near the boundary between the Southern Border and a certain state, an elderly man with a beaming smile was hastening on his way using the Light Body Skill, while incessantly chatting with several Qi Refinement Realm cultivators.


    These young adventurers, brimming with excitement and relish on their first trip out of home, hung on every word.


    If Han Li had been here, he would have been startled at the sight of this seemingly slick, elderly man.


    This was none other than Xiang salutes, whom he suspected to be a Deity Transformation stage cultivator.


    Ever since Han Li had left the Heavenly Talisman Sect, before the sect’s higher-ups could question this low-ranking disciple, he had mysteriously vanished from the sect all of a sudden.


    This had scared the cultivators of the Heavenly Talisman Sect.


    However, most of them suspected that Han Li was behind it and immediately suppressed any mention of Xiang salutes within the sect.


    Years had passed, and this old man had reappeared here, which was utterly mysterious.


    Not only them, but many major forces within the Great Jin Immortal Cultivation realm seemed to sense the undercurrents beneath the calm surface.


    Some sects with profound divine skills even suspected the Imperial Ye Family of Great Jin, but without concrete evidence, their high-ranking members met more frequently in secrecy, puzzling over what they might be planning.


    Great Jin seemed on the verge of a storm.


    A few months later, in the volcanic region of Silver Jiao Mountain in the Southern Border, suddenly a joyful and long cry resounded, rising straight into the sky.


    A dazzling streak of azure light shot out from beneath the ground, disappearing in the blink of an eye in the sky and reappearing at the horizon’s end.


    Such astonishing speed left several distant cultivators speechless with shock visible all over their faces.


    About a week later, the same azure streak reappeared, shooting westward across the sky above the vast, nearly ten thousand-mile-wide primeval forest in the Southern Border.


    When the streak of light hovered over a vast basin and saw the deep yellow poisonous fog, thousands of feet high, filling the air, it swiftly dove towards the edge of the fog.


    “Fellow Daoist Han, you are somewhat late.


    Fellow Daoist Bai and Lady Yuan have already been here for several days.


    We were only waiting for you,” said an old man, standing up with a smile as Han Li appeared among the meditating cultivators on the ground.


    It was again the Fu surname Elder, and the neighboring three who were seated were the same ones from their gathering half a year ago, among whom were Bai Yaoyi and a large man from the Yuan family.


    “I was refining a Magic Artifact, which I only completed a few days ago, making me late.


    I hope fellow Daoists can forgive my delay,” Han Li said, clasping his fists.


    “That’s alright.


    The weak Yin period lasts for three months, so we’re in no rush.


    You’ve just finished refining and hurried here-all the more reason you might want to rest for a couple of days to restore your mana,” said Bai Yaoyi after examining Han Li, speaking thoughtfully.


    “Yes, Fellow Daoist Bai makes a good point.


    Since we are going into the Yin Yang Cave, it’s essential to maintain full mana,” agreed Fu.


    The Yuan surname large man and Mrs.


    Chang, though silent, visibly agreed as well.


    “Very well.


    I will accept the courtesy then.


    Let’s enter the valley in two days,” Han Li nodded, glanced over at the yellow poisonous fog a hundred yards away, barely making out a dark valley entrance hidden within.


    With a flip of his hand, Han Li took out two mid-grade spirit stones glowing with green light and sat down cross-legged right there, closing his eyes.


    The others, though already full of mana, closed their eyes to rest their spirits as well, striving to bring their minds and bodies to the best possible state.


    The two days passed quickly, and when Han Li opened his eyes again with a calm gaze, the Fu surname Elder did not hesitate to command in a low voice:


    “Let’s set off.”


    The others rose, and various colored light shields flashed around them, protecting them from head to toe.


    “With my Poison Warding Ruyi, the Valley of a Thousand Poisons will be easy to handle, but be careful of the various tiny poisonous insects within the mist.


    Do not remove your protective brilliance.


    If not for the Forbidden Lands from ancient times being here, with unknown sky restrictions, we would ordinarily fly straight over into the valley-which would have been the safest route,” the Yuan surname large man said indifferently, raising his hand to summon a silver-glowing Jade Ruyi and striding towards the poisonous fog.


    Han Li and the others followed.


    As the large man approached the edge of the fog, he pointed at the Jade Ruyi above his head, and reciting a few spell incantations, circles of silver waves emanated from the Ruyi.


    The poisonous mist was pushed back considerably, and the fog became much thinner.


    After casting a Light Body Skill on himself, the large man vaulted toward the valley entrance.


    The others did similar spells on themselves and followed suit.
