?Chapter 1002: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 998 An Unexpected Encounter Chapter 1002: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 998 An Unexpected Encounter Han Li slowly stood up and reached out with one hand toward a nearby red cloud in the void.


    Instantly, a giant green hand materialized out of thin air and firmly grasped the cloud in its palm.


    A low incantation began to sound!


    Han Li stared at the hand, his hands forming a strange seal, and he murmured under his breath.


    The hand trembled and then suddenly clenched its fingers together, tightly gripping the red cloud in its center.


    Green light burst forth, and in an instant, the giant hand transformed into a glaring light sphere, dazzling and blinding.


    But Han Li immediately opened his mouth and released a strand of green nascent flames, which lightly wrapped around the light sphere.


    The roaring flames quickly engulfed the sphere, enveloping it completely.


    Only then did Han Li scatter the incantations in his hands and watched the light sphere expressionlessly, without saying a word.


    After an unknown period, Han Li’s mouth twitched slightly and suddenly he flicked his sleeve toward the fire in the air.


    A burst of rosy light swept away.


    The flames promptly extinguished, revealing a pale red bead.


    “It seems I’m really not mistaken!


    Such a clever method of hiding things through transformation could indeed only come from an ancient expert.

    But even in ancient times, there couldn’t have been many cultivators who understood such formations, right?


    It’s fortunate that Xin Ruyin gave me a book in the past that contained a similar restrictive formation.


    Otherwise, I would have had no idea how to break the formation.


    It seems I will have to further enhance the power of my Brightsight Water.


    If I can continue to use the Brightsight Water for another hundred years or so, maybe I could see through even this peak level of illusion technique.” Han Li sighed, slightly frustrated that his current ability could not see through such formations.


    He ignored the motionlessly floating red bead in the air and scanned around, then set his sights on a blue cloud, and once again a giant hand reached out and grabbed it, followed by a release of nascent flames.


    This time, the cloud disappeared into nothingness in the midst of the flames in the blink of an eye.


    With no change in his expression, Han Li immediately reached for another blue cloud.


    After failing twice in a row, he finally refined another blue bead.


    In this way, he spent half a day and managed to refine yellow, green, and golden beads.


    Then, Han Li began to seriously beckon the beads, and the beads that were floating nearby flew toward him instantly.


    His fingers quickly danced, drawing the beads into rotation around him.


    They spun faster and faster, gradually merging into a five-colored ring that emitted a mysterious light.


    “Go!” Han Li’s eyebrows twitched, and he shouted softly.


    As his finger movements stopped, the five-colored ring disintegrated, and the beads followed a mysterious trajectory, suddenly shooting out in every direction.


    In an instant, the beads reached five seemingly unrelated points around him, spinning ceaselessly while also expanding and contracting in a strange manner.


    At the very moment Han Li’s eyes narrowed, a series of loud “rumble” sounds followed, and the five beads exploded simultaneously.


    Five differently colored light spheres appeared, each flashing with a blinding shine as if five sinister suns had suddenly appeared in the space.


    Even Han Li involuntarily closed his eyes, refusing to directly gaze at the piercing light.


    As the five lights merged together, covering the entire area for an instant, the scenery around them changed.


    Suddenly, Han Li’s vision blurred, and he found himself standing on a familiar stone stairway.


    Not far away was the stone cliff they had previously seen, covered in Spirit Grass.


    “Fellow Daoist Han!”


    “Brother Han!”


    Both a man and a woman’s exclamations rang out beside Han Li.


    Han Li turned his gaze and saw Bai Yaoyi and the wealthy old man also appeared several meters away from him.


    Both looked extremely drained but now wore faces of joy.


    “You both escaped as well!” Han Li said indifferently.


    “It must have been Brother Han who broke through this strange restriction!


    I’ve never seen such a fearsome formation; I truly thought we were going to be trapped alive!” The wealthy old man said, clearly shaken.


    It was obvious that this elder from the Nine Nether Sect had suffered greatly under that mysterious restriction, both in mana and spirit.


    “My situation is similar to that of brother Fu.


    I was at a loss in that restriction as well.


    This time, we were lucky Brother Han took action to break the formation.” Bai Yaoyi also said with a wry smile, a hint of gratitude appearing on her face.


    “It’s nothing significant, I just happened to have heard of a similar restriction and knew how to break this one.


    Such ancient restrictions are indeed very rare.


    The Spirit Grass that brother Fu picked must be a Magic Artifact in disguise.


    It seems that fellow Daoist might have been quite misled.” Han Li chuckled and said.


    “Transformed by illusion, you say?


    But I clearlya€|” the wealthy elder exclaimed in surprise, half-believing and half-doubting, as he took out a jade box from his storage pouch.


    Inside the box was not any Spirit Grass, but instead, an ordinary-looking Jade Ruyi had appeared.


    The elder was instantly dumbstruck.


    “In fact, the moment the three of us set foot on that stone cliff, we were already subjected to the restrictive formations and Illusion Techniques of ancient experts.


    Fellow Daoist, your picking of the Spirit Grass merely triggered the most powerful prohibitions of this Array.


    Please take another look over there!” Han Li’s eyes flashed as he casually pointed in the direction of the stone cliff.


    Upon hearing this, the elder and Bai Yaoyi looked over and saw a stalk of Spirit Grass bearing a string of purple berries on the stone cliff.


    “Those ancient experts were truly cunning, setting up such treacherously hidden traps here.


    What were they thinking!” The elder immediately became frustrated and angry.


    Bai Yaoyi was also stunned, her cherry lips slightly parted in astonishment.


    “There’s no need for surprise, Fellow Daoists.


    This kind of ancient restrictive formation originally required a Magic Artifact to be actively triggered by someone within the Array to fully unleash its power.


    Naturally, it would transform into this form.


    As for this restriction, I’ve only temporarily broken it, not completely destroyed it,” Han Li said leisurely.


    “This Kunwu Mountain doesn’t seem like a mountain of immortal spirits; it’s more like a dragon’s lair and a tiger’s den!” The elder saw that the Spirit Grass he thought he had was gone, and his expression was naturally one of disappointment.


    “We should be more cautious in the future.


    This place is not a commonplace ancient cultivators’ site.


    If anything odd happens, it’s better not to act rashly to avoid bringing disaster upon oneself.


    This time, I happened to be able to break this Array, but next time, Han Li may not have such assurance.


    You understand what I mean, right?” Han Li’s gaze flickered a few times, and his voice sank slightly, suddenly turning cold.


    “This?


    In the future, I won’t act rashly again,” the wealthy elder said with an awkward chuckle.


    He had indeed been somewhat reckless in trying to take the Spirit Grass.


    Bai Yaoyi also nodded thoughtfully.


    “Since both Fellow Daoists understand, let’s go.


    The noise on the mountain has stopped.


    After the delay of these few days, others may have already reached the summit,” Han Li said, turning his head to glance in the direction of the mountain peak before advancing again along the stone steps, taking the lead.


    Bai Yaoyi and the elder naturally followed closely behind.


    This time, they encountered no trouble.


    Several hours later, the three of them finally flew over several huge mountain ridges and came to the stone kiosks where the Ye Clan cultivators had entered that day, where Xiang salutes had vanished into thin air.


    Seeing the stone kiosks nearby, before the elder and Bai Yaoyi could react, Han Li suddenly exclaimed softly and stared at a certain spot on the ground outside the stone kiosks, stopping in his tracks.


    Seeing this, the two elders couldn’t help but follow his gaze, and they too noticed something unusual.


    On the loose soil, there was a faint shallow footprint.


    If one wasn’t careful, it would be easy to overlook.


    “Indeed, other Sect Masters have been here!” Bai Yaoyi whispered with a slight show of teeth, her brows tightly furrowed.


    “Not just that, take a look at that piece of rock there!” The elder murmured to himself, then glanced at a rock near the stone kiosks and spoke.


    On that rock, there was a groove several meters long, narrow and finely cut, obviously a mark left by an extremely powerful Sword Qi.


    This was where the yellow Sword Qi shot out by the Seventh Uncle of the Ye Clan had inadvertently left its mark that day.


    “This sword mark is also fresh; it seems not only have people been here, but they also seem to have had a confrontation with something.


    Could it be that Silver-winged Yaksha?” Bai Yaoyi said with her eyes moving fluidly.


    “Perhaps!


    It seems those people also followed the stone steps upward.


    This way, it’s good; someone has cleared the path for us.


    We can avoid a bit of trouble,” Han Li said with unusual calm.


    Hearing this, the wealthy elder laughed, about to say something, when suddenly a flash of white light appeared on a nearby light screen, and a pale white figure shot out from within.


    Because the figure appeared facing Han Li and the others, they had a clear view, and as a result, Han Li and Bai Yaoyi were immediately ecstatic.


    The two of them had never expected to find the exit they were looking for right under their noses.


    However, upon seeing the white shadow, the wealthy elder’s expression changed drastically.


    “The Five Son’s Synchronization Demon, it is Qian the Devil’s fiend demon transformation!” Han Li was startled upon hearing this.


    Although the Five Son’s Synchronization Demon sounded somewhat familiar, he couldn’t immediately recall who Qian the Devil was.


    Bai Yaoyi, however, turned pale upon hearing this.


    All the while, several “plops” were heard in succession, and four figures identical to the first emerged from the white light screen.


    Five indistinct pale white figures stood side by side, their ten bland gazes all looking toward Han Li and his companions simultaneously.


    “The Great Elder of the Yin Sifting Sect!” On seeing the queer behavior of the five figures, Han Li finally remembered their origins, and his complexion instantly turned ugly.


    “So it’s Fellow Daoist Fu, what a coincidence!


    No wonder my subordinates searched everywhere for you and couldn’t find you.


    You had already entered this place first.


    This Celestial Ni Chang, judging by her unique attire, must be a cultivator from the Northern Night Little Polar Palace.


    I, too, am acquainted with Lady Liu of your Star Palace.


    As for the last Fellow Daoist, tsk tsk!


    Could it possibly be Han Li from Tian Luo?


    Han Li, you’ve really made it difficult for my sect and the Heaventide Sanctuary to find you!” Old Devil Zenith Yin’s voice started with surprise and then burst into delighted laughter.
