?Chapter 1033: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 129 Doubts About the Demon Blade Chapter 1033: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 129 Doubts About the Demon Blade “`
The name of this demonic blade, which can only be forged with the Demonic Marrow Drill, would shock anyone who hears it.
The treasure is said to possess a sinister divine skill that can absorb the blood, flesh, soul, and spirit of a slain cultivator, then refining them into its own formidable power.
In other words, the more cultivators it slays, the more powerful the blade becomes.
Hence, there was even a devilish cultivator who once wielded the Devil Dragon Blade to behead a Deity Transformation stage cultivator.
Thus, many cultivators believe that given enough time, and continuous refinement through slaughter, this treasure could potentially overpower even spirit treasures of heavenly skill.
Of course, both the spirit treasures of heavenly skill and the Devil Dragon Blade have disappeared from the human world for many years now, naturally leaving no way to truly compare them,
But even so, the sudden mention of this treasure by the Yin Sifting Sect elder caused Han Li’s complexion to turn rather unsightly.
“Since it’s only seventy to eighty percent similar, and given his cultivation, there was still a chance for the Nascent Soul to escape.
That shouldn’t be the Devil Dragon Blade.
It’s probably another rare treasure from the Devil Dao,” said Gui Ling, who had been quietly listening to the two talk, with a flash in her eyes.
“That should be the case!” Han Li nodded.
He then looked up in the direction of the Demon Suppression Tower, and indeed, there seemed to be a section missing from the distant mountain.
“This Kunwu Mountain is known as the Immortal Mountain of the human world, so it’s not surprising that there are heavenly skill spiritual treasures there.” Thinking of the Heavenvoid Cauldron he held, he murmered with a somewhat pounding heart.

With the newly subdued Gui Ling’s assistance, coupled with the Humanoid Puppet, it wasn’t impossible to seize this treasure.
Moreover, he had previously obtained seven or eight high-grade spirit stones from Qian the devil’s storage pouch.
This greatly reduced his concerns about using this puppet.
“Master!
Let’s go take a look.
Somehow, upon leaving the hall, I felt a bit off, as if something in the direction of the Demon Suppression Tower is calling me.
It feels very familiar, as if it’s related to something from before I lost my memories,” Silvermoon hesitantly spoke in Han Li’s mind all of a sudden.
“Something is calling you?” Han Li was startled by these words.
“Yes, I vaguely feel that if I miss this opportunity, I might lose the chance to fully recover my memories,” Silvermoon’s voice contained a rare plea.
Han Li fell silent for a while, and after a good moment, he suddenly chuckled and said in what seemed to be a relaxed tone,
“Since you’ve said so, let’s go take a look.
After all, I’m quite interested in this heavenly skill spiritual treasure myself.”
“Thank you, Master, for your support!” Silvermoon replied with extreme joy upon hearing Han Li’s response.
“Daoist Gui, since a heavenly skill spiritual treasure has appeared over there, it seems we can’t just stand by and watch the excitement,” Han Li turned his head and spoke slowly to Gui Ling.
“This concubine will follow your lead, Daoist Han!
However, what shall we do with this person?” Gui Ling replied with a slight bow, her expression unchanged.
With such a supreme treasure appearing, any cultivator could not ignore it.
Gui Ling had anticipated Han Li’s sudden change of mind and was not surprised.
“Daoist Friend, you promised you wouldn’t strike at me.
Only then did I tell you everything I know,” The Nascent Soul, constrained by the giant hand, called out in panic upon hearing Gui Ling’s words.
“I did indeed say I wouldn’t strike at you just now, but I also didn’t say I wouldn’t.
And you know very well that if you didn’t speak up just now, you would just have suffered a bit more from the Soul Refinement Technique.
To blame, blame the fact that you’re an elder of the Yin Sifting Sect, and that you simply fell into my hands,” Han Li said nonchalantly, then opened his mouth and a thick bolt of golden lightning struck the Nascent Soul.
After a scream, the Nascent Soul and the giant hand dissipated within the golden light, but a pale green flag dropped out.
Han Li’s eyes brightened, he swept his sleeve and collected the flag in his hand, giving it a closer look.
It was another Ghost Sifting Banner!
From the Soul Searching Technique, Han Li naturally knew the banner was extraordinary; if he could collect all eighteen, the power would be unimaginably great.
Since he had already formed a deep enmity with the Yin Sifting Sect, he naturally wouldn’t be courteous anymore, and he tossed the banner straight into his storage pouch.
Even if the treasure was somewhat of a chicken rib to him, it was not to allow the Yin Sifting Sect to easily assemble this set of treasures.
There had been incidents in the history of the Yin Sifting Sect where the flags had been lost or destroyed, but with the power of the sect, they were either quickly recovered or a new one was forged.
However, such things had only happened a few times.
Now with several flags missing at once, even a sect as rich as the Yin Sifting Sect wouldn’t readily forge new ones.
And even if new ones were made, cultivating them to a significant level of power would not be something that could be done in a short time.
“Let’s go!
Who knows if someone has already claimed the treasure.” Han Li looked up in the direction of the Demon Suppression Tower, muttered to himself in a low voice, and floated down the stone steps.
“`
Gui Ling closely followed behind him.
Restrictive formations set by ancient cultivators existed on both sides of the stone steps; otherwise, if one were to take a shortcut, they might have arrived at the Demon Suppression Tower earlier.
This time, Han Li ignored the signs of battle along the way, and soon, he returned to the White Jade Plaza where they had initially set off and stepped onto the stone staircase leading to the Demon Suppression Tower.
Not much farther on, a disheveled site appeared ahead of them, full of large pits and scattered rocks.
Han Li intended to sweep past without paying any attention when Gui Ling, who was beside him, suddenly uttered a low cry and looked toward a particular place.
Han Li was puzzled!
He hadn’t sensed anything.
Following her gaze, he too noticed something amiss.
Beneath an inconspicuous pile of rubble, a small segment of something white protruded.
Although only a small part was visible, it was clearly a bare bone arm.
With a casual sweep of his sleeve, a gust of faint cyan wind rushed out, blowing away the rocks, revealing a white skeletal figure lying prone on the ground.
Han Li’s expression changed!
He recognized the clothing and hairstyle covering the bones; it was actually that wealthy elder from the Nine Nether Sect.
The remnant of a Purple Nether Bead was tightly clutched in one of its bony hands but was mostly broken, utterly destroyed.
Han Li didn’t say anything; he just quietly watched with a flickering gaze.
“It is unexpected that after all his efforts to refine the Infant Nurturing Pill, he would fall here!
The path of immortal cultivation is indeed unpredictable!” After a while, he let out a long sigh, his heart seemingly filled with complexity.
Although he and the wealthy elder of the Nine Nether Sect had no significant relationship, the fact that someone he had just traveled with not long ago had unexpectedly met his demise here revealed an unusual sense of contemplation in his heart.
“How is it, Fellow Daoist Han, do you know this person?
The circumstances of this person’s demise seem quite strange.
It appears he has just died, but his flesh and blood have eerily been stripped away, and there are no signs of a Nascent Soul escaping from the top of his head.
It seems his Nascent Soul didn’t escape either.
And there is a mark on his back that looks like it was left by some sort of blade, his condition looks somewhat likea€|” Gui Ling hesitated as she eyed a strange, narrow wound on the skeleton’s back and spoke.
“It resembles the way those from the Yin Sifting Sect described the killing by that devil blade, right?” Han Li exhaled deeply and said.
“Indeed, although there are other magic tools that can strip a cultivator’s flesh and blood, they wouldn’t leave a mark like this.
Moreover, the Yin Sifting Sect elder managed to let his Nascent Soul escape, but this person has fallen completely.
Could it be that the man truly holds the Devil Dragon Blade?
Otherwise, how would there be such a drastic difference in power?” Gui Ling said solemnly.
“That’s not right.
Although the Devil Dragon Blade is said to increase its power by absorbing a cultivator’s flesh and Primordial Spirit, the refining process takes a considerable amount of time.
It wouldn’t become so powerful so quickly,” Han Li pondered before shaking his head.
“That makes sense!” Gui Ling was taken aback and realized something.
“What I’m concerned about is that the True Man of Dispersal seemed to act without any reservations, not only attacking the Yin Sifting Sect but also daring to strike against someone from the Nine Nether Sect.
This is not something a Loose Cultivator would dare to do.
Moreover, after killing the Devil Dao elder, he didn’t even bother to destroy the body.
Isn’t he afraid that the two great Devil Dao sects will join forces to seek revenge?” Han Li’s eyes glanced at the bones once more, puzzled.
The storage pouch was nowhere to be seen on the bones, clearly indicating that the Infant Nurturing Pill had fallen into the hands of the True Man of Dispersal.
Gui Ling, who had just escaped her confinement, did not understand anything about the current state of the realm of immortal cultivators, so naturally, she couldn’t answer.
Han Li thought for a while but came to no conclusion.
In the end, he raised his hand and released a Fireball, turning the bones to ashes.
At least he did not let the wealthy elder’s body stay exposed in the wilderness.
“Let’s also be careful.
After the Devil Blade has devoured another Nascent Soul cultivator, there’s no knowing how formidable it has become.
Don’t be complacent and suffer the same fate,” Han Li said flatly before taking the lead up the mountain, though his expression was much grimmer than before.
Upon hearing this, Gui Ling’s heart tightened, her ugly face distorted, and then she sneered and followed.
As they continued upwards, Han Li and Gui Ling encountered no more unusual sites and finally arrived at the end of the stone stairs.
To say it was the end wasn’t quite accurate.
The stone staircase behind them had vanished into thin air without a trace.
In front of them appeared a half cliff, and the mountain peaks behind it had disappeared as if by divine craftsmanship.
Han Li looked up at the distant cliff and then down at the unfathomable abyss below, stroking his chin with a contemplative expression.
“It seems that the others have gone down.
The Demon Suppression Tower has indeed collapsed into it; I wonder what exactly happened below!” Although Gui Ling had heard the news from others, seeing the phenomenon before her, she was still shocked.
“Daoist Gui, do you know what kind of demon creature was suppressed in the Demon Suppression Tower before?” Han Li suddenly asked Gui Ling.
“I’m not clear on that.
Back then, my role was only to guard the demon beasts of Kunwu Mountain, so why would those ancient cultivators have mentioned such things to us?
However, before I was transferred elsewhere, I truly felt an extremely powerful Demonic Qi appear in Kunwu Mountain.
But then it disappeared, likely sealed within the tower.
Unfortunately, at that time, my cultivation was too low to determine the strength of the Demonic Qi’s owner,” Gui Ling replied hesitantly yet honestly.
