Chapter 998 - Chapter 998 Volume 6 Spiritual Treasures Chapter 994 Stele

    ?Chapter 998: Volume 6 Spiritual Treasures Chapter 994 Stele Chapter 998: Volume 6 Spiritual Treasures Chapter 994 Stele As the two elders flew out of the exceedingly long tunnel, Han Li was already floating in the sky outside the passage, looking at the top of the canyon and listening intently to something.


    At that moment, the two elders realized that once outside, the rumbling sounds that could faintly be heard were even weaker.


    If it wasn’t for the fact that they were all Nascent Soul with sensory abilities far surpassing ordinary people, they might have dismissed the sounds as a passing breeze.


    “It seems to be coming from above, and it’s very distant.


    If it weren’t for this place being sealed into a closed space by restrictive formations, the echo would be too powerful.


    We originally wouldn’t have been able to hear it,” the elder named Fu said, frowning after listening for a moment.


    “Since we are unfamiliar with everything here, why don’t we go over and take a look?


    That would be better than blindly stumbling around.


    Of course, it would be best if we use concealment techniques to travel, trying not to let others discover us first,” Han Li suggested, turning to glance at the two men.


    Naturally, the elder named Fu and his companion had no objections and readily agreed.


    The elder formed a hand seal, and suddenly, a large patch of green light burst forth from his body, which then dimmed as the light converged.


    His figure also became blurred, eventually turning into a faint green shadow.


    Unless one looked closely, his presence was hardly noticeable.


    Of course, this was also because the mountain greatly suppressed Divine Sense.

    If it were outside this mountain, this concealment technique would be much less effective against cultivators of the same rank.


    Bai Yaoyi, however, raised a hand, and between her fingers, a cold light flashed, revealing a crystal-clear token, seemingly made of ice.


    With a raise of her hand, she uttered a melodious spell incantation, and instantly, a burst of silver light sprayed out from the token, engulfing her graceful figure in a moment.


    Then, with a flash of light, Bai Yaoyi’s figure vanished into thin air.


    Seeing the two cast spells to conceal their tracks, Han Li smiled.


    Without any noticeable action, a sudden flash of spiritual light appeared around him, and then he too became undetectable.


    Even if Fu and Bai Yaoyi stood right in front of Han Li, they could barely sense anyone there using only their Divine Sense.


    This startled both elders.


    Then, Han Li calmly took out a Daoist paper talisman and casually attached it to his body, making his figure begin to blur as well.


    “Let’s go!” Han Li said in a low shout, and the three of them rose into the air.


    In this mysterious and unfamiliar land, the three of them didn’t fly very fast, moving only slightly faster than the Light Body Skill as they followed the direction of the rumbling sounds.


    As they flew, the land below was lush and rich with Spiritual Energy, making every spot an excellent cultivation site for the human world.


    If such places were outside, countless Immortal Cultivation sects would fiercely compete for them.


    But here, such spots were commonplace!


    Half an hour later, Han Li and the others encountered no accidents, nor did they show any joy.


    The lifeless scenery they passed, devoid of any living creatures, made them feel uneasy and extremely suppressed.


    “Fellow Daoist Bai, have you noticed?


    The Spiritual Energy here is so rich, but we’ve flown such a long distance without seeing any Spirit Grass or spirit trees, only ordinary plants.


    Something doesn’t seem right,” Bai Yaoyi hesitantly spoke up.


    “I’ve noticed it too.


    The Spiritual Energy is indeed good here, but the higher we go, the more abundant it seems to get, much like the outside Dreamcloud Mountains.


    Perhaps the ancient experts who originally inhabited this mountain found planting Spirit Grass more effective on higher ground and did so intentionally,” Han Li said nonchalantly, without any surprise.


    “Even richer than here!” Bai Yaoyi was somewhat astonished.


    After all, she already considered this place to be an excellent cultivation site.


    “Fellow Daoist Fu, if there truly is a better cultivation sacred site at the summit, we might not need to hurry away.


    Perhaps we could cultivate here for a while,” Fu, the elder, said, somewhat moved by Han Li’s remark.


    “Elder Fu shouldn’t really think of this place as just any Dreamcloud Mountains.


    If such a place with abundant Spiritual Energy was safe for cultivation, why would the original cultivators have abandoned it?


    Moreover, seeing that the entire mountain is under restrictive formations shows there is something odd about it.


    If it were possible to leave, I certainly wouldn’t stay,” Han Li said with a cold chuckle.


    Hearing Han Li speak thus, Elder Fu’s expression changed several times, finally settling into a wry smile.


    “You make a good point, Brother Han.


    This place is indeed not meant for peaceful cultivation.


    I was momentarily blinded by the rich Spiritual Energy here,” he admitted.


    “It’s understandable to think this way.


    Not only you, Elder Fu, but I too had the same thought just now.


    After all, having such a cultivation site would save us much meditation time,” Bai Yaoyi said, also feeling regretful.


    Han Li smiled slightly, about to say something more when his gaze inadvertently swept sideways, and his expression subtly changed, causing him to immediately stop his streak of light.


    His pupils shimmered with a blue light as he stared intently to the side.


    Both the elder and Bai Yaoyi were puzzled and followed Han Li’s gaze.


    They saw a distant area enveloped in white mist, somewhat indistinct.


    However, having seen such mists many times along their way, they didn’t find it unusual and wouldn’t probe into every such occurrence.


    “Let’s go take a look.


    There might be something useful for us there,” said Han Li, his eyes flashing.


    Then, his streak of light suddenly changed direction, shooting towards the white fog.


    The old man and Bai Yaoyi were puzzled, but they knew Han Li wasn’t one to act without reason and followed him without hesitation.


    When they entered the white fog, they were momentarily stunned.


    In the midst of the fog, a broad white stone staircase stretched down the mountain and up, disappearing into the distance.


    Next to the stairs in the fog, there stood a blurry white stele.


    It was about thirty feet tall and ten feet wide.


    Han Li stood in front of the stele with his hands clasped behind his back, staring intently at something.


    “What is it, Han Li?


    Did you find something?” the old man asked curiously after landing on the platform.


    “Now I finally know where this mountain is.


    Fellow Daoists, come and see.


    This stele details the origin of this mountain,” Han Li turned his head and spoke solemnly, with a grave expression.


    “Oh, let me see!”


    Upon hearing this, the old man perked up and quickly approached.


    Bai Yaoyi also delicately moved forward.


    After a glance at the stele, both of them understood instantly.


    For on the stele were engraved two ancient characters, written flamboyantly in large golden script.


    “Kunwu!


    Could this be the legendary Kunwu Mountain!” the old man exclaimed in astonishment upon recognizing the ancient text, then cried out in shock.


    Bai Yaoyi, with her hand covering her mouth, had an equally shocked expression.


    “That’s correct.


    It must be Kunwu Mountain.


    In ancient times, this place was called Immortal Mountain, a sacred site where ancient experts gathered for cultivation.


    Given the immense size and the dense spiritual energy of this mountain, it absolutely must be Kunwu Mountain.


    But according to legends, wasn’t this mountain taken to the spirit realm by ancient experts, or sunk into the yellow springs due to battles between cultivators!


    How could it appear here?” Bai Yaoyi murmured, staring at the stele, still somewhat in disbelief.


    “Fellow Daoist Bai, those are just rumors.


    It seems the real story is that, for some unknown reason, this mountain was sealed away.


    And the three of us happened to trigger an ancient transportation formation, mysteriously transferring us here!


    With the reputation of this mountain, there must be countless caves and dwellings of those ancient experts.


    Finding even a few would surely lead to great gains,” the old man recovered quickly, his voice filled with joy.


    “Perhaps.


    But given that this mountain was sealed, those ancient experts probably were prepared when they left.


    I don’t think there’s likely to be much of value left in those ancient caves.


    However, although the stele was crudely made, having stood here for countless millennia and absorbed so much of nature’s spiritual energy, it has long become a rare and valuable treasure,” Han Li shook his head, then suddenly stepped forward, gently tapping the stele several times, his eyes flickering.


    “What, this stele is a treasure?” the old man and Bai Yaoyi were shocked, then, astounded, they re-examined the stele, and were left speechless.


    No matter how they looked at it, the stele seemed to be just an ordinary bluestone stele.


    Although it contained some spiritual energy, it couldn’t even compare to the lowest quality materials used for artifact refining!


    Both of them gave Han Li a bewildered look.


    “Hehe, it seems my fellow Daoists don’t quite believe it.


    But as long as I am convinced, it’s fine,” said Han Li, his lips curling slightly, his expression as usual, though he was quite puzzled inside.


    For not just the other two, even he himself had not discerned any special reason behind his words.


    He had spoken in such a way simply because the Earth Armor Dragon, which had always been calm inside the spirit beast pouch, became suddenly restless the moment he approached the stele.


    It kept transmitting chirps, suggesting there was something unusual about the object.


    Han Li had even scanned the stele using his Brightsight Water, finding nothing peculiar, and was naturally skeptical.


    However, with a mindset of ‘spare none and forgive none,’ Han Li hesitated for a moment before speaking those profound and inscrutable words.


    Then, taking the opportunity, he placed his palm on the stele, and instantly a green radiance emanated.


    The stele trembled greatly, and under the radiance, it began to shrink rapidly.


    When it had halved in size, Han Li’s eyebrows twitched, and he moved to lift the stele with a swirl of radiant light, planning to store it in his storage pouch.


    But just as the stele was lifted a few feet, an anomaly occurred.


    The seemingly ordinary bluestone stele suddenly buzzed, then emitted thousands of rays of white light.


    Almost simultaneously, Han Li felt it grow heavier, the radiance unable to restrain the stele anymore.


    With a “bang,” it fell back to its original place.


    It landed like a massive object, causing the ground nearby to quake violently.


    Both ears of the three of them rang.


    Within several tens of feet around the base of the stele, the surface of the stone platform cracked inch by inch.


    “What is this?” Han Li was shocked, his eyes narrowing suddenly.
