Mortal: Transmigrated into Han Li, becoming a person with five spiritual roots

a few days later.

Kui Xing Mountain Cave.

Unbeknownst to them, an additional array had been set up outside the cave, far more sophisticated than the one that had been built into the cave itself.

Inside the cave.

Han Li was sitting at the stone table, holding a black talisman pen, concentrating on drawing on a piece of golden talisman paper.

A moment later, as the last stroke was made, a flash of inspiration struck, and the drawing was finally completed.

Han Li breathed a sigh of relief and placed the talisman on the table.

At this moment, several stacks of talismans of different colors had already been piled up on the stone table.

Fireballs, ice spikes, wind walls...

Looking at these talismans, a glint of light appeared in Han Li's eyes.

Hundreds of them!

enough!

The scene of the last battle is still vivid in my mind.

With so many talismans on his side, even if he were to encounter that androgynous Core Formation cultivator again, hundreds of talismans would be enough to give him a hard time.

Thinking of this, Han Li waved his hand, and the mountain of talismans piled on the table instantly disappeared.

"Judging by the time, it's about time."

After performing a minor spiritual rain technique on the spiritual herbs in his cave, Han Li walked out of the cave.

As soon as the array barrier was broken, a familiar communication token appeared before my eyes.

With a light tap of the index finger, magic power was injected.

The familiar sound of coins ringing in my ears:

"Fellow Daoist Han, the Star Sea Festival is approaching. If you wish to participate in the Demon Suppression Ceremony, why not come with us?"

Han Li remained silent for a moment, then, after a brief moment of thought, he put the token to his lips and whispered a few words.

Soon, the token transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky.

......

Half an hour later, at the entrance of Tiandu Street Market.

A coin clad in a yellow robe was already waiting there.

Beside him were many elders and members of the Qian family.

"Who exactly is the ancestor waiting for?"

"Why aren't you leaving yet!"

One of the Qian family members seemed to be getting impatient and muttered a few words.

The coin squinted its eyes and remained silent.

The elder beside him immediately scolded:

"You bastard! The patriarch's decision is final; you have no right to speak!"

"How can one accomplish great things with such anxiety!"

The disciple didn't say anything more after hearing this, but his expression showed considerable dissatisfaction.

Just then, a golden sword light flashed in the sky, and a flying sword appeared before everyone's eyes.

A young cultivator in a blue robe stood on the sword, radiating a faint aura of early Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

It was Han Li.

"Fellow Daoist Qian, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Han Li sheathed his flying sword and walked to the front of the group.

A quick glance revealed no sign of Qian Ningshuang.

"No, we just arrived too."

The coins responded with a smile.

A hint of joy flashed in Qian Ningshuang's eyes when she saw Han Li appear.

The Qian family disciple who had been complaining earlier, upon seeing that the newcomer was Han Li, had a dazed look in his eyes and quickly lowered his head, no longer showing any contempt.

"Ning Shuang has already traveled to Red Moon Island a few days ago on the clan's merchant ship."

"She also went to Elder Han's cave dwelling and found that he was in seclusion, so she did not disturb him too much."

As if sensing Han Li's thoughts, Qianbi explained.

"By the way, Ning Shuang asked me to give this to Elder Han."

As if just remembering something, Qianbi took out a round, translucent, light-colored jade pendant that emitted a faint fluctuation of magical power.

Han Li received it, and it still exuded a unique fragrance, like that of a young girl's daffodil.

Han Li casually tossed it into his storage bag, not paying much attention to it.

Seeing Han Li accept it, a glint flashed in Qianbi's eyes. He then turned to the elders and disciples behind him and said:

"Elder Han has arrived, let's go."

The coins walked side by side with Han Li.

The Qian family elders and disciples quickly followed.

......

"The Kui Xing Island Star Sea Festival, held once every ten years, is the biggest festival besides the Double Saints Festival."

The coins led Han Li to slowly introduce them.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, the Chaotic Star Sea was not as peaceful as it is now. It was the domain of demonic beasts, and there were not many high-level cultivators back then."

"Humans are forced to become food for monsters."

"..."

"Later, countless human cultivators followed one after another, annihilating the demon race, establishing their own lineage, and with immense power, setting up a great array to isolate the inner and outer star seas, and opening up twelve inner star islands and twenty-four outer star islands."

"That's why we have the peaceful situation we have today."

Qianbi explained in detail, giving Han Li a thorough introduction to the Star Sea Festival.

"When the Star Sea Festival arrives, peace talismans will be hung in the markets, shops, and cultivators' caves, in the hope that the chaotic Star Sea will be peaceful and tranquil forever."

Following the fingertips of the coins, Han Li saw that each shop had a square amulet hanging above its entrance. The patterns on the amulets revealed the cultivators' yearning for peace.

......

The road was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and the monks were in high spirits, creating a strong festive atmosphere.

Soon, the group arrived at a restaurant, where Qianbi stopped.

"You can explore on your own for now, but meet up in front of the arena for the Demon Suppression Ceremony!"

Qianbi turned around and said to the Qian family members behind him.

"Yes."

The elders and disciples behind them dispersed, leaving Han Li and his companion alone.

The money seemed very familiar with the restaurant, and led Han Li up to the third floor with ease.

I found a seat by the window, ordered a pot of tea and some local specialties.

They were all served quickly.

"The view here is excellent; you can overlook most of the Star Sea Festival attractions through the windows."

Money picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly.

Han Li looked out the window. It was a large wooden window with no frame obstructing the view, offering a beautiful vista.

Outside the window, lanterns and decorations were everywhere, and cultivators came and went in an endless stream. Judging from the crowd, there were nearly a thousand cultivators, making it a lively and bustling scene.

The sounds of vendors hawking their wares, asking for directions, and chatting filled the air.

The most eye-catching feature is the huge circular building in the distance.

On it, cultivators constantly flew back and forth.

Han Li's mood was also somewhat affected by the lively atmosphere, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

However, he did not forget his purpose.

"Fellow Daoist Qian, what's the deal with this Demon-Suppressing Ceremony?"

Han Li looked at the coins and asked.

"This Demon Suppression Ceremony is the grand finale of the Star Sea Festival."

"This Demon-Suppressing Ceremony was established to commemorate those predecessors who lost their lives while pioneering the Chaotic Star Sea!"

"At that time, the cultivators participating in the Demon Suppression Ceremony will be divided into groups and enter the arena to fight against demonic beasts. Killing a demonic beast will earn them rewards. However, if they are unlucky enough to be killed by a demonic beast..."

Qianbi took a sip of tea, paused, and a fierce glint seemed to appear in his eyes.

"It's all fate! Just like those predecessors who were killed by demonic beasts, they turned into cold corpses, their bodies and souls extinguished!"

The words about money had faded.

Han Li felt a chill in his heart.

I never imagined that the Demon Suppression Ceremony would be so cruel!

After a long silence, Han Li let out a long sigh:

"Why!"

"Cultivators hunt demonic beasts for longevity, while demonic beasts devour cultivators for reproduction. In reality, there is no essential difference between the two."

"It's just a difference in race!"

As Han Li finished speaking, Qianbi froze on the spot, unsure of what to say.

"Well said!"

"Finally, I heard something human today!"

Just then, a man's voice came from behind them. Although his tone was calm, it carried a hint of coldness.

Han Li subconsciously turned around and saw a tall, slender man wearing a black robe with feather patterns on his shoulders.

The man had a faint smile on his lips, his features were somewhat feminine, and he exuded a slightly cold aura, his aura unfathomable!

A Core Formation cultivator!?

Han Li wasn't sure, but the cultivation level of the person in front of him was far higher than any Core Formation cultivator he had seen before!

"Greetings, senior. I was unaware of your presence. My words have been rude and I have caused you great disturbance!"

Han Li immediately bowed in respect.
