Mortal: Supreme Being of the Ghost Path

However, the appearance of Elder Xinggong only lasted a few breaths before he turned the situation upside down.

Han Li was struck so hard that his life was in danger, the Blood Jade Spider died on the spot, and Xuan Gu was also severely injured.

However, just when everyone thought that the Void Heaven Cauldron would sink under the altar, a sudden change occurred. A ball of five-colored light burst out from the blue flames and soared into the sky.

"The Heaven-Mending Pill!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, and the eyes of the six Nascent Soul cultivators turned red almost simultaneously.

Manhuzi, Jiyin, Qingyi, Wantianming, Tianwuzi, and the dark-skinned, thin old man from the righteous path, six brightly colored streaks of light pierced through the void, chasing each other and rushing madly toward the ball of five-colored light.

In an instant, spiritual light flashed and magic roared above the platform. The six Nascent Soul stage monsters, for the sake of the legendary Heaven-Mending Pill, did not hesitate to tear off their masks and fight each other.

Meanwhile, Qin Han was hiding in the world inside the cauldron, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"The Heaven-Mending Pill..."

He thought to himself, "It's a pity that these Nascent Soul stage monsters risked their lives to snatch something that was completely useless to them. In the end, they'll probably regret it to the core."

The Heaven-Mending Pill is indeed effective for Core Formation cultivators to condense their Nascent Soul, but for cultivators who have already reached the Nascent Soul stage, it is no different from a piece of candy.

The Star Palace spread this rumor merely to incite the righteous and demonic paths to kill each other.

It's both laughable and lamentable that these old foxes, who have lived for hundreds of years, could be so easily swayed by a single elixir.

Thinking of this, Qin Han simply sat cross-legged, and at the same time, a thought occurred to him.

The next moment, the spiritual energy within a hundred feet radius of him began to change, gradually transforming into dense and chilling yin energy, which Qin Han slowly absorbed into his body like rivers flowing into the sea.

Qin Han closed his eyes and began to race against time to restore his magical power.

Although he gained a lot from the previous battle with the young master of the Ghost King Sect, he also suffered considerable losses. Although he recovered somewhat afterward, he never reached his best condition.

The subsequent roundup will require him to exert his utmost effort.

Of course, we need to plan ahead!

"According to the original plot..."

While circulating his cultivation technique to restore his mana, Qin Han secretly made plans in his mind.

Next, those Nascent Soul stage monsters will fight each other fiercely for the Heaven-Mending Pill, even at the cost of their Nascent Souls leaving their bodies.

Meanwhile, Han Li and Xuan Gu would take advantage of the fact that those Nascent Soul stage monsters were too busy to pay attention to the interior of Hanlitai, and use the Blood Jade Spiders that had already been killed to make corpses, and then use them to pull the cauldron again with Han Li's other Blood Jade Spider.

His primary goal was to seize the Azure Ice Flame, the Void Heaven Cauldron, and the Xuan Bone Old Demon's "Mysterious Soul Yin Fire" cultivation method.

"We could wait until Han Li and Xuan Gu are both severely injured before revealing ourselves," Qin Han thought to himself. "Ideally, we should wait until Xuan Gu has played with fire and gotten burned..."

Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

That old demon Xuan Gu, despite his elaborate schemes, ultimately died in the very trap he had meticulously laid.

By then, Han Li's Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder should have been almost completely depleted.

Even if he still has a few paths left, with the Creation Cauldron in his hand, he is enough to reverse the situation and defeat Han Li in one fell swoop.

"If I could also get my hands on Han Li's Heavenly Bottle..." A glint of light flashed in Qin Han's eyes.

But then he thought about it again and came up with a more reliable idea, so he dismissed the thought.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his distracting thoughts, and focused all his attention on restoring his magical power.

……

Meanwhile, on the Hanli Terrace outside, a completely different scene was unfolding.

The six Nascent Soul cultivators had long since disappeared.

The five-colored ball of light, which was the "Heaven-Mending Pill" that they regarded as a treasure, had already been obtained by the bearded man, and he flew all the way out of the Heavenly Gang Cover.

But how could Ji Yin, Qing Yi, and the righteous sects led by Wan Tianming be willing to give up?

They immediately transformed into streaks of light and chased after the enemy, disappearing into the vast void in the blink of an eye.

The blue hazy light barrier surrounding the Cold Li Terrace is called the "Heavenly Gang Barrier," an ancient restriction that has the effect of isolating divine consciousness.

This is exactly what some people want.

On the Hanli Platform, only two figures remained: Xuan Gu and Han Li!

But then they saw that the ugly corpse was now lying in a pool of blood, having been obliterated by the Xuan Gu.

He handled it cleanly and efficiently, without expending much effort.

"Young Han, the troublemaker is gone now." Xuan Gu said calmly, as if he had just crushed an ant.

He looked at Han Li with a deep, enigmatic gaze, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Hurry up and bring out the other Blood Jade Spider!"

Upon hearing this, Han Li's face darkened, and he remained silent.

His gaze lingered on Wu Chou's corpse for a moment before sweeping around. The place remained empty; apart from him and Xuan Gu, there was no one else.

"Senior is too kind. My only Blood Jade Spider has already perished here, so how could I possibly have a second one..."

Han Li frowned slightly, absentmindedly replying while scanning every corner of the Hanli Terrace.

However, it was still empty; there was nothing there.

That's strange, where did that old ghost go?

When the Star Palace Elder made his move, that person was clearly not far away.

But after the white light, he vanished into thin air, and his presence could not be sensed.

Did they die beneath that white rainbow? Or...?

Han Li felt a vague unease.

That old ghost is cunning and scheming; he's definitely not someone to be trifled with. He doesn't believe the other party would die so easily!

"What are you looking for?"

Seeing Han Li's absent-minded look, Xuan Gu's voice suddenly rang out, tinged with displeasure.

Han Li withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "It's nothing."

Xuan Gu gave him a deep look but didn't ask any further questions.

Whatever hidden dangers Han Li could think of, this old demon who had lived for over a thousand years could naturally think of as well.

Even before entering the inner hall, he had been keeping an eye on the Core Formation cultivator who claimed to be a descendant of Qingyi Jushi's old friend.

Moreover, when Elder Xinggong launched his sneak attack, he clearly saw that the Core Formation cultivator had disappeared before the white light arrived!

But the strange thing is that just now he used his divine sense to explore every corner of Hanlitai, but he couldn't find any trace of this person, as if he had vanished into thin air.

Therefore, he had also been paying attention, but he hadn't said it outright.

"Forget it." Xuan Gu snorted coldly in his heart, intending to put the matter out of his mind.

He's just a junior Core Formation cultivator; even if he has some tricks up his sleeve, he can't cause any real trouble.

He has more important things to do right now, so he can't let these trivial matters distract him.

Thinking of this, he continued speaking to Han Li, whose face was somewhat pale, in a low voice:

"No? Hmph! This Blood Jade Spider was originally my pet..."

Xuan Gu spoke at length, his unspoken message being nothing more than: This spider was originally raised by me! And without the Heaven-Mending Pill to cleanse your spiritual root, you'll be stuck in the Core Formation stage for life! Besides, you already have the Nine-Bend Spiritual Ginseng; with the Heaven-Mending Pill, your chances of forming a Nascent Soul will increase by at least 30-40%!

After hearing what he said, Han Li was deeply moved, and a surge of impulse arose in his heart.
