A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 265 The Precious Embryo, Hong Fu's Shock
Han Li looked closely and saw that inside the box was a section of blue stone rod.

The surface shimmers with silver patterns.

It was this stone stick that was releasing extremely pure spiritual energy.

"Stone rod?"

wrong.

It's made of wood.

"Huh? Why does this feel like the Tree of Spiritual Eyes?"

The more I look at it, the more it seems similar.

So I simply picked it up and started playing with it.

The magical power penetrated and examined it, revealing that it was indeed a Spirit Eye Tree at least 100,000 years old. Furthermore, through a special refining method, the entire Spirit Eye Tree had been condensed into this small stick, which was only a little over a foot long.

As he sensed the surrounding spiritual energy being drawn to this place by the wooden stick, then absorbed, and finally released in even purer form, Han Li became increasingly certain that this was a Tree of Spiritual Eyes.

This item has the exact same effect as the Tree of Spirit Eyes.

The only difference is that this wooden stick is more than ten times more efficient at gathering and purifying spiritual energy than ordinary spiritual eye trees.

For example, right now, the purity of the spiritual energy released by this wooden stick is almost comparable to that of a high-grade spirit stone.

Simply incredible.

"No wonder Ming Xin, with her relatively ordinary special physique and aptitude that is not exceptional or even first-rate, was able to make rapid progress and quickly break through the bottlenecks of the mid-stage and even late-stage Core Formation."

"With this treasure, any cultivator with dual spiritual roots could do the same, right?"

Because this is almost as fast as when he cultivates using high-grade spirit stones.

If this woman were thrown into the top-grade spiritual vein of Biling Island, and with the help of this treasure, her cultivation speed would probably be much faster than his.
Even if she weren't sent to Biling Island, but instead placed near the forbidden area of ​​the Spirit Eye Sacred Tree of the Yunmeng Three Sects, this woman could still surpass cultivators of the same level in cultivation speed with the help of this treasure.

"No wonder, no wonder..."

I looked at the wooden stick covered with silver patterns a few more times.

After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly had a guess:
"This stick from the Tree of Spiritual Eyes looks like the embryo of an artifact..."

"Could this thing be part of a [Spirit Gathering Stake]?"

"Could these silver patterns be the legendary Silver Script of the Spirit Realm?"

Otherwise, how could it have the effect of gathering spirits dozens or even hundreds of times that of an ordinary spirit-gathering array?

At this moment, he was as if he were in a vortex of spiritual energy, with the surrounding spiritual energy rapidly converging towards him. To be precise, it was converging towards the wooden stick in his hand. This was an effect far beyond what ordinary small to medium-sized spirit-gathering arrays could achieve.

It's even a spirit-gathering array at the level of a mountain gate formation, which is somewhat lacking.

And this is merely the effect of this treasure in gathering spiritual energy.

What's truly terrifying is this treasure's ability to purify spiritual energy.

Carrying this wooden stick while cultivating, in an ordinary spiritual vein, one would be comparable to a minor elite at the twelfth or thirteenth level of Qi Refining through continuous replenishment. In a low-grade spiritual vein, it would be comparable to a cultivator at the late Foundation Establishment stage through continuous replenishment. In a mid-grade spiritual vein, it would be comparable to a Core Formation stage cultivator through continuous replenishment. In a superior spiritual vein like Yunmeng Mountain, it would almost be comparable to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator through continuous replenishment.

The better the environment and the higher the purity of the spiritual energy, the more effective the wooden stick will be.

"If we take this thing to the spiritual veins of Biling Island..."

Strictly speaking, the spiritual veins of Biling Island can only be considered high-grade spiritual veins, not truly top-grade ones.

Producing even a small, top-grade spirit stone is already the limit.

True top-grade spiritual veins and top-grade mineral veins can produce a large number of top-grade spirit stones.

Even in the spirit world, they would be considered the foundation of a great clan.

Of course.

Rao is so.

This treasure can also greatly enhance the beneficial effects of the spiritual veins of Biling Island on him.

"The finished Spirit Gathering Stake is made primarily from twelve Spirit Eye Trees, supplemented with various precious spiritual materials and intricate silver script array patterns. It can increase the speed at which a Nascent Soul cultivator absorbs and exhales the spiritual energy of heaven and earth by more than half. It is said to reduce the arduous cultivation efforts of a Nascent Soul cultivator in the Spirit Realm by about one-third."

"If this wooden stick is merely a semi-finished embryo of a spirit-gathering stake, and only one of twelve embryos, its effectiveness will naturally be greatly reduced. Let alone one-twelfth, it would be good if it possessed even one percent of the spirit-gathering and purification effect of a finished product..."

Even so, this unfinished treasure is still a priceless treasure for a Nascent Soul cultivator.

“This thing was definitely not made by cultivators from this realm.”

"I'm afraid it was brought down from the spirit realm by some ancient cultivator."

Just as Han Li had predicted.

This wooden stick is indeed one of the twelve embryonic spirit-gathering stakes, brought to this world by a cultivator from the spirit realm.

In ancient times, there were actually not many cultivators who were willing to seal themselves off and reduce their own cultivation to descend to lower realms to deal with the demonic tribulations that broke out in each small realm.

Heroines like the Ice Soul Fairy are extremely rare.

The higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the more selfish they become.

How could they possibly be willing to take such a huge risk to descend upon this human realm?
However, the human race in the Spirit Realm could not truly allow the demon race in the Demon Realm to corrupt many of their subordinate planes one after another, resulting in no more ascended cultivators left to guard Tianyuan City.

then.

under these circumstances.

In order to protect their many subordinate planes and to thwart the conspiracy of the Demon Lords, the high-ranking human race in the Spirit Realm unanimously decided to issue a bounty mission, offering high rewards to attract high-level cultivators to descend to the mortal realm.

This unfinished spirit-gathering wooden stick is one of the rewards.

After changing hands for tens of thousands of years, it finally ended up in Han Li's hands.

"Once this matter is settled, I will return to Biling Island and seclude myself for more than ten years."

With this treasure and many other spiritual aids, his cultivation efficiency will increase significantly.

Moreover, with the help of this treasure, the recovery speed of top-grade spirit stones will be greatly accelerated.

It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

distance.

A thin streak of light shot through the air and stood upright.

Upon sensing this, Han Li moved straight in and quickly intercepted a communication talisman.

His divine sense seeped into it to examine it, and the speed of his escape light increased by three points.

The message inside the talisman was a plea for help from Master Hongfu and Yuan Yao, who had managed to hold off the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Taizhen Sect, but were not yet able to defeat them.

The old monster of the Tai Zhen Sect was his other target.

Through the Nascent Soul stage of the Tai Zhen Sect, he can exchange for other important items.

This can also be used as a stepping stone to enter another group in Tiannan.

...

With a sufficient amount of full-blue lightning-absorbing beads and a rich reserve of evil-repelling divine lightning, Han Li no longer needed to be frugal or restrained when using lightning escape techniques.

Therefore, in just a few hours, they crossed a small part of the river kingdom, flying from one end to the other.

now.

The Nascent Soul stage elder from the Tai Zhen Sect, wielding a whisk, was being suppressed by Master Hong Fu and Yuan Yao. They were not being driven towards the territories of the righteous and demonic paths, but rather towards the boundless sea to the north.

This person must be captured alive.

It would be best to drive them north.

The old man from Tai Zhen Sect also realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Hong Fu of the Luo Yun Sect, her methods are alright, nothing special, about on par with mine..."

"But that complete stranger's methods were simply bizarre..."

An antique pipa, its strings played so unexpectedly that he was startled by the sight of phantoms flashing before his eyes, affecting his five senses and causing hallucinations.

However, what's even more dangerous is the bell on the woman's ankle.

Each step he took made his mind drift and his spirit weaken, making him feel drowsy. He knew very well how dangerous it was to be mentally exhausted in battle, so in order to break free from the woman's control, he forcibly bit his tongue and used the Blood Escape Technique.

I want to create distance.

However, what made him extremely uneasy was that the woman, whose stunning beauty was concealed by a veil, also wore a blood-red cloak.

After fully utilizing the cloak's supernatural power to accelerate, his escape technique also greatly increased, becoming comparable to the Blood Escape Technique. He was not much slower than him, and he couldn't shake him off at all.

He also considered taking down the two women one by one.

However, when he distanced himself from Hong Fu and fought her alone, he was horrified to discover that he seemed to be no match for her.

The other party had a white ancient pendant at their waist that had become sentient and could spontaneously protect its owner; the defense formed by this pendant was quite strong.

The silver crown worn on the other party's head was also a high-level ancient treasure that could spontaneously protect its owner, and the defensive light barrier it formed was equally strong.

In direct combat, they possess a pair of short halberds that, once unleashed, are like two meteors that can be used with perfect precision, striking wherever they are aimed. Their power is exceptionally rare, making them undoubtedly another pair of precious and rare high-level ancient treasures.

In addition, the rings worn on each hand, known as the Xuan Yin Rings, are also quite mysterious, capable of both offense and defense.

Under the multiple defensive systems, he couldn't break through them at all and could only passively take hits. But in a head-on confrontation, he was somewhat outmatched.

Every time he was held back, Hong Fu would seize the opportunity to quickly catch up, and then stage a series of two-on-one battles, beating him until he was in a sorry state.

"Seven ancient treasures, and all of them are high-quality or high-level ancient treasures with good functionality."

"Which super-rich family's daughter is this?"

To know.

Any three or four ancient treasures on this woman would be enough to make a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage rank among the top in terms of overall strength.

But this unknown female cultivator was actually a treasure trove of knowledge.

What the old man didn't know was that Yuan Yao possessed several other treasures that he hadn't been able to force out.

For example, Wen Tianren's soft armor.

Its defensive strength is comparable to that of the Barbarian's Royal Scale Armor.

For example, thousands of Gold-Devouring Insects with fourth-level spiritual power condensed into a Gold-Devouring Spirit Spear and Gold-Devouring Spirit Armor using the "Insect Armor Technique".

It can also be a life-saving move or a killing move in critical moments.

For example, one of the banners in the Soul-Controlling Banner is associated with the Black Dragon Han Mo.

Just in case, Han Li had given the Soul-Controlling Banner, whose main spirit was the Extreme Yin Old Demon, to Yuan Yao beforehand. Combined with the Ink Dragon Xiao Mo, they wouldn't need to be afraid even if they encountered most mid-Nascent Soul cultivators.

As for why Master Hongfu could never catch up?
Of course, it was Han Li's request.

To hone Yuan Yao.

In this sword-testing tournament, he not only wanted to train Meng Di, but also Yuan Yao so that she could become independent as soon as possible.

The simplest and most brutal way to temper a person is undoubtedly through a bloody battle.

The Nascent Soul stage monster of the Tai Zhen Sect is that whetstone.

therefore.

The most shocked person was not the elder of the Tai Zhen Sect, but Hong Fu, who was just an observer.

At this point, she understood that Yuan Yao was probably the same age as her own disciple, or even younger!

Otherwise, if it were someone older, like her, they would have accumulated a wealth of combat experience through countless battles over the long term. Through that experience, they would have developed a combat style and approach suited to themselves.

Those who have not yet formed their own combat system are just a few young people who have very little experience in major battles.

Then the problem is coming.

How did their own disciple manage to snag such a gifted genius?

Surely you can't have trained them all by yourself?
This is obviously unrealistic.

...

When Han Li arrived.

The old man from the Tai Zhen Sect was almost chased into the sea by the two women.

The old man held a whisk with half of his long beard missing, and his clothes were tattered, making him look quite disheveled.

He glanced at the incredibly murky, boundless sea behind him, then turned back to stare at Hong Fu and Yuan Yao, having already lost all his temper.

"What exactly do you two intend to do by forcing this old man here?"

Before the two women could respond, a green streak of light shot towards them from the horizon.

Before long, a bluish-green light arrived at the place, and after it dissipated, a young man with an ordinary appearance walked out from it.

"You are a guest elder of the Three Sects of Yunmeng... Fellow Daoist Han Li?"

That's right.

In order to better maintain the relationship between the three factions, Han Li did not join any of them, but instead secretly became a guest elder of all three factions.

He did not participate in any of the internal affairs of the three sects.

But when the three sects unite against a common enemy, he will need to lend a hand.

The downside is that getting things isn't free.

The advantage is that you can exchange merit points or benefits for what you want from the three sects, including cultivation techniques, secret arts, spiritual materials and herbs, magic weapons and pills, etc., and you have a greater degree of freedom.

"it's me."

Han Li nodded slightly.

The next moment, a sudden burst of white light emanated from his body, causing people to involuntarily squint their eyes.

The elders of the Tai Zhen Sect were no exception.

He then realized something was wrong.

Before he could prepare, he heard a crackling sound of lightning. The next moment, his protective light barrier was pierced through without any resistance by a hand covered in grayish-white flames.

The hand then rested on his shoulder.

"what?"

The old man was terrified and frantically mobilized his magical power.

But to his horror, he suddenly felt a chill run through his body and was unable to move.

"this…!"

"Don't move, it won't help."

This is the Sacred Flame of Asura.

He has already refined nearly half of the portion formed by the fusion of the Xuan Bone.

Although the quantity is still small, it is enough to deal with those who are only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

As Han Li withdrew his right hand, the old man remained unable to move.

They couldn't even manage to separate their nascent soul from their body and escape.

"how is this possible?"

The old man was in agony.

The feeling that life and death were hanging by a thread sent chills down his spine.

"I told you, it's no use."

Han Li said calmly.

The Asura Sacred Flame is different from the Azure Ice Flame.

The former possesses the characteristics of the latter, and also combines the properties of the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder and the Mysterious Soul Yin Fire. The old man's nascent soul was now trapped within this body.

Furthermore, the damage caused by the Asura Sacred Flame was real; even a Nascent Soul cultivator would need a long time to recover. Moreover, his grab not only utilized the power of the Asura Sacred Flame but also left a restriction on the old man.

In other words, being targeted by multiple forces makes recovery difficult.

"Fellow Daoist Han, what have you done to this old man?"

The old man was shocked, angry, and fearful.

"It's nothing, don't worry, I won't kill you."

"So you want to..."

"Capturing you, fellow Daoist, is merely a means to make a deal with Venerable Zhiyang."

"trade?"

What deal?
"Didn't you want the medicinal liquid to heal that Mystic Immortal Vine? I have a portion of it here. How about it, are you interested?"

Han Li laughed heartily.

Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up:
"Fellow Daoist, is what you say true?"

If they could really obtain the liquid from this person, why would they risk their lives to outwit and outmaneuver the three sects of Yunmeng and the entire Heavenly Dao Alliance?

"I, Han, am willing to make a deal, but what are the righteous and demonic paths willing to offer? Forget it, there's no use talking to you about this. You should go and talk to Master Zhiyang. I'll have to trouble you here for a while."

"Fellow Daoist Han, please be sure to bring me along when you make the transaction. I will definitely help you complete the transaction."

If the deal can be completed, I can save my life.

Therefore, we must help this person out.

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, fellow Daoist."

Han Li nodded with a smile.

...

Even now, Hong Fu was still somewhat dazed.

I was deeply shocked.
